Eerepean He: tals Method of Blood Innocu! Practie! tio: So many thousands of children are an- nually carried off by diphtheria, the suffer- ings caused by the disease are «o agoniz- ing and the remedies hitherto at the dis- posal of the medical profession so inade- quate that the news of the introduction in- to the Berlin and Lendon hospitals of a new and efficacious cure for this fell malady cannot be regarded otherwise than as a matter of public interest. Very iittle has been heard about this remedy until now, says a writer in the New York Tribune, owing to the fact that the distinguished bacteriologists engaged in its discovery have been unwilling to subject themselves to the same disadvantage as Dr. Koch, whose cure for consumption has been unjustly pro- claimed a failure, merely because it was published to the world prematurely and be- fore it was ready for medical application. The new cure, briefly speaking, is one of imnoculation, with this difference, that, in- Stead of injecting the poison into the sys- tem of the patient, on> injects the blood of an anima! which has been innoculated with a weak culture of the diphtheria bac- terla—the virus of the latter being, how- ever, of so weak a character that it does not affect the anima! with the malady, but merely renders {t immune thereto. Re- pested experiments made of late have shown that a few drops of blood from a borse or aay other animal thus rendered immune injected into a btman being suf- fering from diphtheria are sufficient to ar- rest and cure the disease. Of course it is too soon as yet to quote the statistics of the few hundreds of cures which have been effected in Bertin and London by this trent- ment, Which is to be fully discussed in all its complicated scientific aspects at the forthcoming international congress of hy- siene in September at Buda-Pesth. But, whatever the ultimate result of its appli- cation, it has at least one advantage over all other forms of inncculation hitherto dis- covered, namely, that the matter injected into the system of the patient is free from poison and consequently harmless. He Ought to Know Better. From the Pall Mall Budget. I have been amusing myself by decipher- ing a letter which Sir Isaac Pitman has written to the Daily News on a subject which he phonetically spells “mei aij.” Str Isaac—or, as the reformed spelling has it, “Bizak"—says that he is in bis “aiti- sekond yeer,” instead of being, as some have averred, nearly nirety. He ts in good health, “but not ekwal tu much fizikal ekzershon.” It seems to me that, even if Sir Isaac Pitman be only elghty-two, he oughi to be able to spell better than this. Speaking seriously, however, I find some- thing in Sir Isaac Pitman’s spelling which hurts a certain sense of -everence in my vature. Take for example that word “phy- sical.” Its very superfluities and absurdi- ties are interesting. It stretches back through Rome and Athens to ts root in the Asian nursery of the Aryan race. And at each successive stage of growth it has gathered up some new development of meaning, some fresh nuance of association. It carries with It t'y concentrated perfume of the ages; and I \§ould not disturb a letter of it, even to suit the convenience of a beard school boy. If I were allowed to pull down Westminster Abbey, I could de- sign a structure which would be simpler end easier to find one's way about; .and yet Ido not think the abbey would be im- Proved.

Troops Leaving Chicage—They Will Be Held at Fort Sheridan—Pull- man Works to Open. The net continues to tighten about Debs and his associates. The federal grand jury returned twenty-three indictments in Judge Seaman's court at Chicago yesterday after- noor and were discharged from further ser- vice. In the twenty-three indictments were in- cluded the names of about seventy-five indi- viduals who are charged with violating the federal statutes during the ratlroad troubles of the past three weeks. The indictments, as soon as they were handed to Judge Sea- man by Foreman Sanborn of the grand jury, were put into the hands of Clerk Burnham and were laid away from public District Attorney Milchrist instructed the clerk not to issue warrants-on any of the indictments until this morning, as there would be no judge present to accept bail for*the prisoners. The district attorney and his assistants refused to give the names of any of the indicted persons beyond admit- ting that there were several new indict- ments against Debs, Howard, Keliher and Rogers, the chief officers of the railway union. Included in some of the indictments, also, are other officers of the tion, who have not been so prominent as the four now in the county jail. The others who go to make up the sev- enty-five are strikers against whom are charged 5} acts of interference with trains or other property of the companies. One of the indictments is based on the riot- ing which occurred along the line of the Rock Island at Blue Island and other points. In it are named a score of defend- ants. Debs and the other officers are in nearly all of the twenty-three indictments. When- ever the grand jury concluded to present a batch of rioters who committed specitic acts, such as the derailing of trains, Debs and his companions were named with them as ccn- spirators. In addition to that there is an Indictment against Debs, Rogers, Keliher and Huward, charging them with conspiracy to deprive a eltizen of the United States of one of his constitutional rights, that is, the right to ship goods from one state to another. The citizen who was thus deprived of his rights is a shipper who is named in the indict- ment, with a description of the goods which were delayed in the blockade. ‘The grand jury, in its investigation of the whole strike situation, classified the indict- ments according to the reads on which the rioting occurred. On each road at least one indictment was found against the worst of the rioters and Debs and the other offi- cers included with them in a general charge of conspiracy. Question of Bail. Mr. Milichrist said the question as to whether Debs and the other officers will be compelied to give bail on each separate in- dictment has not been settled, but will be after the bench warrants are issued aad served today. “They aré already under heavy bonds, and I suppose the court wili take that fact into consideration and not e. jed men have never been arrested and that is the reason the names of all are kept from the public for the pres- ent.” A petition was filed in the United States ¢ircuit court by the Santa Fe railroad yes- terday for a writ of attachment against four of its late employes for contempt of court. The petition sets up that Bert Cor- nell, Ed. Rhodes, Ira Henderson and Robert Lawrence, who were employed by the com- pany at Chillicothe, Ill, violated the in- junction of the federal court on July 12, and at other times. It charges that Rhodes and Henderson in- timidated Cornell, who was a fireman, and compelied him to leave his engine, and that the four then intimidated other employes tried to compel them to quit. ‘fo one fireman they said, “If you do not quit ycu will be killed.” Judge Seaman issued a writ of cttach- ment and made it returnable next Friday. Troops Strike Tenis. Bustle of preparation to strike tents and get away was the distinguishing feature cf the lake front camp of regulars yesteriay, and by sunset little was left in the park along the Michigan avenue but camp debris. All the United States troops were ordered from Chicago, as well as the 585 men of the second brigade of the Illinois National Guard, under command of ‘jen. J. H. Barkley of Springfield, and as there is still an uneasy feeling among the strikers, trouble is looked for. All of the United States troops, with the exception of the ninth infantry, have been ordered to Fort Sheridan.. The ninth will return to its post at Sackett’s Harbor, N. Y. This concentration of the forces at Fort Sheridan puts 1,800 men there of the three branches of the service. Capt. Maus of Gen. Miles’ staff said yesterday that ad- vantage would be taken of the opportunity to put the men through thorough drtils and exercise, and that Gen. Miles expected good results follow. 7 Pellman Works to Open Monday. The indications are that the Pullman works will be opened Monday at the latest, but the number of men who will return to work will probably be comparatively small. Active preparations ure being made to start the works, 300 men being busily e1 ed in. oiling the machinery, cleaning the shops and doing other preliminary work. The ad- vent of a gang of these men, numbering about 100, was the signal yesterday morn- ing for a small riot near Keasington. The “would-be Puliman employes were Ho!land- ers living at Roseiand, and at an cariy lour they set out from home for the (’ullman works. A number of residenis of Kensung- ton heard of the move and the Hollaaders were intercepted a short distaace west of Pullman. Dissuasive measures were em- ployed by the Kensington resideats to pre- vent an invasion of Pullman by the Rose- landers,and an all-round fight ensued,which terminated in the new men agreeing to go home. They started and the crow.) broke up, but after returning nearly to Roseland some of the Hollanders separated into groups of two or three, and by a circuitous route returned to Pullman and went to work. Most of the Hollanders are tron- founders, but all were pressed into service at cleaning up. “The company decided yesterday to re- sume business,” sald Vice President Wickes. “The following notice was at «nce posted on the gates of our works at Pullman: “These works will be opened as scon as the number of operators taken on is suffi- clent to make a working force in all de- partments. H. H. MIDDLETON, Manager. “T have already heard from Manager Mid- dieton today, and he assures me that fully half of the men we shall need have already sent him their names. We shall not require 1,500 men in order to reopen ihe shops. ‘We can probably employ 2,500 to 3,000 when we once get started. But 750 to 1,000 en will be enough to open up with. I don't anticipate any trouble in securiug all the men we need. I think that most cf our former employes will be glad to return to work.” “Debs Denounces a Forgery. Eugene Debs said to an Associated Press reporter yeaterday at Chicago: “The follow- ing rotice ts alleged to be posted in various parts of the stock yards: “*A. R. U.—To whom ft may concern: At a meeting held by the American Railway Union at Corcoran’s Hali the following reso- lution was unanimously, adopted: “Resolved, That all men contiruing in the employ of the railroad departments of the Union Stock Yard and Transit Company, Armour & Co., Swift & Co., Morris & Co., Burton Stock-Car Company, Street Stable-Car Com- pany and other indu:tries in the vicinity of the Union stock yards, where railroad men are employed, at 6 p. m. Wednesday, July 18, 1804, will be forever branded as scabe and treated as such. “W. H. Overton, President, A. Driscoll, Vice President, R. Turpin, Secretary. “Approved by “E. V. Debs, President, ‘G. W. Howard, Vice President, 'S. Keiiher, Secretary.’ “I need hardly say that the above, so far as the officers of the A. R. U. are concern- ed, is a forgery. Of course no such notice was tasued or approved by us. any knowleige as to how, when, or by whom such notice.was authorized or posted. ‘The first information we had on the subject was when it to our notice in this morning’s daily ad “This is a fair Sm of the methods that have been employed :to puison the public mind against the st connected Cent falsehoods have! truth, “As, for instance, a few ago a story Was published to ect days that Mrs, Higin- Lotham was ill in Montana and not expected to and that Mr. Higin- botham had led to me to allow the cying wife to be) beo¥sht home to see her friends for the a by special train; that in a brutal I declared that not a wheel should tyrn.

The writer of the damnable falsehood may accept this as personal to himself, his thought being father to the wish. “Column after column of vilification and ‘coined slander have been published to serve the malignant purpose of a subsidized press. In due time truth will prevail. The wrong will be cloven down; the right will be en- throned. Our struggle ts for humanity; why charge us falsely with inhumanity? in this connection I may add that certain telegrams have been published which were not authorized or transmitted by an officer of our organization. Stripped of false and extraneous matter, the charges will fall to the ground. Meantime we can afford to be patient, and we say, without bravado, that we prefer to be in jail with our convictions to being free without them.” This interview was had in the presence of Messrs. Howard, Keliher and Rogers and acquiesced in by them, and was further submitted to counsel for Mr. Debs for being authorized to the press, upon an inquiry made by Mr. Debs as to whether the brand- ing of the manufactured slanders could in any way be considered by court as con- temptuous of the proceedings now pending for contempt. Mayor Hopkins Angry. Mayor Hopkins of Chicago has become displeased over the reiterated reports that he has, at different times, requested the re- moval of the federal troops from Chicago. Last night he gave out, for publication, copies of telegrams between the Secretary of War and himself, and copies of notes ex- changed between Gen. Miles and himself. Both Gen. Miles and Secretary Lamont asked him if he felt able to keep the peace in Chicago without the assistance of the federal troops, and upon his statement that he felt abie to do so the order withdrawing the regulars was issued. This corres- pondence, Mayor Hopkins declares, covers everything on the suvject in which he had any, part. — POLICE TRIALS OPEN, ‘The New York Commissioners Begin ¢ Hearing of Testimony. The trial for blackmail of Police Capt. Doherty and Wardmen Hock and Mehan was begun yesterday at New York. A writ of prohibition forbidding the police commissioners to proceed with the trial was served at the morning session, as tel- egraphed to The Stag, but Lawyer Well- man, for the commissioners, went before Judge Gildersleeva, and on his representa- tlons as to the legality of the trial the writ was vacated, i The trial had ao sooner opened in the afternoon, however, than the lawyers for the defense begay, tq, make violent objec- tions to every motion of the prosecution. Through the long afternoon session the tes. timony of Mrs. Augusta Thurow and her husband, both of .whain testified before the Lexow committe} ‘was got upon record only by the com®ati¥e tactics of Lawyer Wellmén for the prosecution. The testimony Wasa long story of suc- cessive demands fer hush money by Capt. Doherty and his watdmen, all of which were complied with. There was no contra- diction of the testimony as taken before the Lexow committes: and it was orijent that Mrs Shurow and-ber husband Wwefe trying to tell of actual occyrrences, not as counsel for Doherty claimed to bluff out a tale con- cocted in revenge. Once during the damaging recital the captain started from his seat and cried out that it was @ conspiracy against him, but ris counsel quieted him. When the time came for cross-examina- tion Lawyer Fromme, for the captain, de- ‘manded time for preparation. It was de- cided that ample time had been given him, and his claim that Mr. Wellman had pur- posely kept him from getting witnesses for the defense was not allowed. Thereupon he utterly refused to cross-examine. Besa peat age quarrel was aroused be- ore wyer Grant began his questioning. President Martin .of the commissioners threatened to report to the supreme court what he said were the repeated discourte- sies of Mr. Grant and Mr. Fromme, and these lawyers retorted that the diecourt2- sles came from tim. Lawyer Grant then attacked Mr. Thurow with questions that caused him to swear. He acknowledged tha he drank, said Le could not recall the dates when his wife paid money to any One of the accused men, and said he did not know how often he had been sober In three years. He dented that he had received any financial assistance from the district attorney for being a wit- nes@. An adjournment was taken until :0- see NECESSITY PASSED. jo Present Need for Kederal Troops in Chicago. Speaking of the situation at Chicago and troops having accomplished the purpose for which they were ordered to Chicago have been withdrawn from the city proper. With the exception of the infantry sent from Sackett's Harbor, all of the troops recently concentrated at Chicago, including the artillery and cavairy from Fort Riley and Niobrara, have been ordered to take their station at Fort Sheridan for the summer. This will put a very much larger garri- son at that point ready for service than when troops were called into action. The troops were withdrawn -with the assurance of the local authorities, responsible for the Peace of the city, that the situation was completely under control, and that the laws could be enforced and order preserved without further assistarce from federal troops. While there is no reason to be- Heve that their services wiil again be re- quired, should such a contingency arise federal troops are but two hours distant from any part of the city and can be easily and quickly called to the scene of disturb- ince.” SEIZED IN ITALY.

The central office of the Baltimore city fire alarm system, located in the city hall, was destroyed -last night, and the depart- ment was dependent upon the rocket sys- tem to call out the companies in case of fire.

Steamers Can’t Take Everybody, and There Are Trouble and Tears and Ticket Holders Left Lamenting. There was trouble and turmoil on the decks of the ocean steamship lines Wed- nesday, says the New Ycrk World. 80 many steerage passengers had taken ad- vantage of the rate war to get back to Europe that the ships could not accomme- date all those to whom passage had been sold. Hundreds could not be taken aboard, even with the crowding of the steerage quarters to the utmost. Only once before, in 1873, has there been an opportunity to get a steerage passage from New York te Europe for $10. That is the rate now, and it is likely to be further reduced unless an agreement is soon reach- ed by the rival lines, On the White Star dock the trouble really began on Tuesday night. Peopie arrived on the pier in droves to secure passage on the Germanic, which sailed early Wednesday morning. Her steerage will, by crowding, accommodate 6) passengers. Seven hun- dred and fifty secured passage. Everybody with a ticket insisted on going. Finally w of the superfluous 100 were crowded in with the 660, and the rest were transferred to the Hamburg-American liner Columbia, which was to sail next morning. There was much more serious trouble on the American line p.er. The Paris, which sailed at 11 o'clock wednesday morning, bas steerage accommodations for 500. Be- ing a fast ship, and one on which the steer- ne een eral good, spective voyagers en pas- sage on ber with the same haste that a small boy will rush for a front bench at a circus, Many of these were prosperous- looking people. One, a young Irishman, said: “I am out of work and have got to Waite two months for a job. It is cheaper for me to go home and see the old folks than It is to pay board here.” Agent Lederer and his corps of assistants, fenced in by a wire netting, were surround- ed by a shouting, crying and gesticulating crowd. All insisted that they would cross on the Paris or must have their money re- turned. All languages were to be heard in the general howl. In a few cases money was refunded, but the majority did not want their money back when it came to a direct choice. When the Paris sailed at 11 o'clock she left over 150 sad and weary people on the dock, all holding tickets calling for passage on her. They were transferred to the Co- lumbia, too. By the time that the Paris had left, the steerage passengers for the Noordiand of the Red Star line, which docks at the same pier, began to arrive. They knew of the ex- periences of the ticket holders on the other ships, and at once began to shout for berths, The ship was not to sail until 4 p.m. Passage on her was offered to some of those who had been left by the Paris, but they wanted to go to Southampton and not to Antwerp. One litue English woman with three children was crying because her baggage had gone off on the Paris, and she had not even a change for herself or them until the Columbia, to which she had been transferred, should arrive at Southampton. “Tt is all well enough to transfer us to the Columbia,” said John McAllister, a six- foot Scot, “but I came 600 miles from Ohio to sail on the Paris. I paid $18 each for these four tickets, and today I could buy them here for $10. Who is going to pay me for the meals. I have to buy for four peo- ple while I am detained? It ts a shame.” Although the Noordland’s steerage ac- commodates only 150, she was not over- crowded when she sailed. At the White Star lie office it was learned that the company had been obliged to stop booking steerage passengers for the Teutonic, which does not sail until next Wednesday. Over 900 third-class passages have been sold for the ship. Agent Certes of that line said he was very sorry, as were ail the agents, for the overcrowding, and that they were doing the best they could under the cir- cumstances. 5 ATE eS 2 AWAKENED TO ACTION. Beggars Under Guise dastrinin Arrested—Coxey’s Return. Six members of the crowd that ts camped across the river near Rosslyn, under the title of the industrial army, were arrested by Washington policemen yesterday for begging in the streets, and it is the inten- tion of the authorities to do the same thing with any other Frye foragers who may see fit to break the District laws against vagrancy. There was much indig- nation in camp when the news of the ar- rests was learned, and the various “gen- erals” spouted about down-trodden rights and spluttered over what they professed to deem an outrage on liberty at a most ve- hement rate. It appears that the police were awakenel to their duties in regard to the little groups of beggars from Rosslyn that have been overrunning the western part of the city by complaints that the men ceased using importunity to arouse charity, and were indulging in threats of force, especially among the ignorant classes of householders. The other event of interest at Rossiyn yesterday was the visit of State Senator Mushback of Alexandria, who is also a militia captain. When Capt. Mushback vis- ited the camp ten days ago his, presence was so unpleasant to the men that “Gen.” Jumbo Cantwell announced that he would be ducked in the Potomac if he ever re- peated the call. Yesterday, however, Capt. Mushback came loaded with love, and brought as olive branches of peace zen- erous quantities of chewing and smoking tobacco, which he distributed with impar- tial philanthropy among the industrials addicted to the weed. He also made his call even more memorable to his hosts by jeaving some money for the benefit of the | commissary. At the commonweal camp in Maryland, near Highlands, an event of immense im- portance lifted the men for a period out of their listlessness. “Gen.” Jacob S. Coxey returned to camp, after a rather protracted absence, which had caused his followers to think he had deserted them, and regaled his legions with stories of his two weeks’ trip in the west. From what he said it would seem that every “industrial” in the United States 3s making his way toward Washington. “Gen.” Coxey’s stay in this vicinity wlll be brief, however, as he leaves on sno junket tonight in behalf of his hobby. a Mexican Customs Changes. The Treasury Department has received notice, through Minister Gray, at Mexico, of modifications by the Mexican government in customs regulations under which certifi- cations of consular invoices after August 15 will be charged at the rate of $2 for invoices valued at not more than $100; $4 for in- voices valued between $100 and $1,000, and $1. for each $500 or fraction thereof in ex- cess. ———_-e- To Aid the Cotton Exposition.

From the New York Herald, Charles Wilfred Mowbray, whe was ar- rested in London upward of a dosen times for inciting breaches of the peace by mak- ing anarchistic speeches, has been in New York city since Saturday, without the knowledge of the police and the board of immigration, who were long ago warned to look out for his arrival. He arrived on the steamer Paris from Southampton undisguised, so he asserts, and did not in any manner attempt to eon- ceal his identity. Upon landing, Mowbray went direct to Newark, N. J., where he has English friends. He went before the clerk of the court there the next day aad took out his first citizen’s papers, which he displayed to a Herald reporter last night. Last Mon- day he rented apartments in the top floor of an apartment house in Hast 86th street, New York, and there he intends, for the Present, to take up his abode. At No. # Ist street is the saloon of Jus- tus Schwab, the favorite resort of anar- chists of the east side. When the reporter went there last night he found the place occupied by a dezen,or more o: them. They were seated about tables imbibing beer from gigantic “schooners,” and in the cen- ter of the group was a tall, powerfully — man whom he found to be Mr. Mow- y. “You are the first newspaper man I have met since arriving in America,” said he, “and I do not hesitate to outline for the Herald the purpose of my visit. I ma stay here a long while. I am to establi: a propaganda of anarchism. This was the understanding of those who sent me here, and those on this side who expected my coming. I have been received with open arms, So to speak. “Those who know me are aware of my disposition to give blow for blow, and it is seldom that I am struck first. This I demonstrated on various occasions to the police of London, when they attempted to abuse me without sufficient cause. “However, I do not come to incite riot, although I believe that the purposes I have in view cannot be attained in a manner en- tirely devoid of violence. I intend to es- tablish a system of education which will be the means of placing the workingman on a better basis. One of the two ways in which to do this is the holding of meetings, WI Hold Meetings. “I understand that there is some objec- tion to public sessions of anarchists. This is an injustice. It is allowed In England, and seems unreasonable to me that it should not be allowed here. 1 will com- mence by holding meetings in private halls, which surely cannot be found objectionabie. “I have been an anarchist since 18%. I was first. connected with the socialistic movement in England, and was afterward affiliated with the democratic federation. I was the one who seconded the motion mak- ing it a socialistic federation, and at that time was a delegate from various branches. Besides, I was one of the founders of the Socialistic League, in conjunction with Wm. Morris. “Four times in succession I was elected an executive of the Amalgamated Society of Tailors of Great Britain and Ireland. “The anarchistic movement in England is a strong one, requiring only a little more union. There are twenty-six good centers of anarchism in Engtand, Ireland and Scot- land. The system which I advocate for the acquisition of strength has three heads— meetings, the scattering of pamphlets, and the help of the n rs. “In conjunction with my colleagues I am to urge anarchism, pure and simple. The chief persons to be urged are those con- nected with labor organizations. If possible I shall have the greatest of public demon- strations. “The argument which we chiefly believe in is that every working man can live the highest kind of civilized life. If we were allowed to by the capitalist we could pro- duce three times as much as we could con- sume. Now, matters have come to such a pass that a man is not allowed to produce sufficient for existence. Wants a General Strike. “Productive co-operation and the strike— general strike—by the federation unions of labor are what will accomplish the end in view. I am distinctly in favor of every union man laying down his tools and refus- ing to work. “Trouble will follow, I am sure. The capitalists, though, will cause it all. They will incite the people to resist our endeavors by false presentation, and bloodshed will follow. “Because of my views and the manner I have sought to spread them I have been ar- rested in England many times. I spent nine months in the prison at Norwich on the charge of inciting violence. I do not deny mY guilt. “I am the publisher of the Comomnweal, an English paper, of which D. J. Nicoll was the editor. Both of us were arrested in 1892 for an article which appeared in the Com- monweal advocating the murder of Chief Justice Hawkins, Inspector Melville and the ome secretary. “I was acquitted at that time because my responsibility for the article could not be proven, but Nicoll served eighteen months in the Chelmsford jail for the alieged of- fense.” Mr. Mowbray is thirty-eight years old,and was born in the county of Durham, En- gland. He once belonged to the British army, as did his son Charles. The latter was arrested, Mr. Mowbray told me, f Gesertion, and also fcr circulating an- archistic 1iterature among the soldiers. Mowbray is soon to cail his initial meet- ing in the east side. The Man Who Tricd to Shoot Crispi ix Sent to Prison, The trial of Paola Lega, known to his associates as “Marat,” the anarchist who. during the afternoon of June 16, atiempted to take the life of Premier Crispi by shoot- ing at him with a revolver, was commenced at Rome yesterday. The premier, it will be remembered, was driving irom his resi- dence to the chamber cf deputies on the | ¢ay mentioned when, at the corner of the Via Gregoriana and Via Capoiecasa, Lega, who had been loitering on the sidewalk. suddenly drew a revolver and fired at him = effect. e prisoner was examined yest y from the bench, and said that be baal wok acted from motives of personal hatred, but a solemn protest against the system of government. The working peopie, he claim- ed, weuld not be free until a labor federa- tion wa secured, frontiers were abolished and wars prevented. Continuing, Lega said that he aimed at Crispi, who represented the state, and he Was not sorry for what he hed done. The public prosecutor then demanded the extreme penaity. ‘The witnesses then testified to the arrest of Lega, and to the fact that while in pris- on he had denounced the premier as a “ty- rant and a murderer.” It was stated some time after Lega’s ar- rest that Councillor Arnoldi had ascer- tained that Lega and Cesario Santo, the murderer of President Carnot, were in Mar- séilles at the same time, and it was be- Meved that the two men were aware of each other's plans. Lega is said to have been born in Lugo Romagna, but he asserts that he was born in Marseilles. The prisoner has served on the staff of several anarchist newspapers published In France. Lega was sentenced to twenty years’ solt- tary confinement. When sentence was pro- nounced he called for cheers for anarchy. While the various witnesses were being examined Lega wore a continual smile. The public prosecutor, in his speech de- manding the maximum penalty, vehement- ly denourced the prisoner, who, he said, had been guilty of a cold-blooded crime egainst the man who had endowed Italy with freedom. Signor Lollini, couns*! for Lega, sald that his client had been driven to commit the act by the persecutions of the police. —---— 00+ The National Unto: ‘The senate or supreme legislative body of the National Union is still in session at Chattanooga.

This of itself has occasioned the delay in the matter of leaves, but Mr, Benedict assured a Star veporter that it would all be cleared up in a few days and then there would be no longer any oppor- tunity for dissatisfaction.

The de- cisicn was rendered in the case of one of the printers who had not taken the thirty days which were aliowed him in the last fiscal year, and who applied for remunera- tion for that period in addition to the thirty days to which all the discharged employ>s were eligible. The application has been re- fused, and the applicant probebly thinks that it would be better If he had taken his leave of absence when he had the chance. Mail Matter to Employes. The public printer has issued an order directing that all employes of the office have their correspondence and mail sent them at their residences, instead of at the government printing office. It is sald that more mail matter is delivered at the gov- ernment printing office than at amy of the other departments in the city, largely owing to the fact that the employes of the otfice are compelled tf begin their day's work earlier than the clerks in the depert- ments, and se miss the first morning Jde- Mvery. It required the sergices of a num- ber of messengers every Incrning to de- fiver all this mail through the office at a time when they would otherwise be en- gaxed on other matters. It proved to be a rather demoralizing system, owing to the fact that almost every printer receives one or more dally papers with which he has been connectei, in addition to his other mail. So much time was lost to all parties j concerned that Mr, Benedict decided he must put a stop to it. An arrangement will be made, however, by which maii will be given out between the hours of 12 and 1 o'ciock to all who apply, and letter boxes will be provided for the purpose, but there will be no attempt at a general delivery, as heretofore. ——__—_—_--2.______ ORDER OF CHOSEN FRIENDS.
