The commit- tee, in conclusion, recommends the passage of the bill as reporte DECLARED OFF, Anarchict Spies’ Marringe Stopped Ry t CmrcAao, Jan, 19,<[Special Telegram to the Beg. | —It has been definitely decided that the contemplated marriage of Anarchist Spies to the young Miss Van Zandt, which ‘was to take place in the county jail to-mor- row, will not oceur, The decision of the sheriff to not parmit the scandalous affair was eonfirmod this morning. Afler an Interview the sheriff bad with Mr, Leonard Swett, who has recently been retainet as one of the coun- sel for the condemned men, Mr Swett in. formed the sheriff that it was his duty to pre- vent the ceremony, as_it would be an out- rage upon decency. This was In direct op- position to the conrse of Captain William P, Biack, of the counsel for the anarchists, who has apparently been abetting the mesalli- ance, The intimation was given in the dis- patches last night that the sheriff would in- terpose and this was confirmed this morning, when orders were issned to permit no one to see the condemned seven, Miss Van Zandt, nccompanied by a sister of Sple appeared In the criminal court building about 10 o’clock this morningbut on attempt- ing to enter the jail they were stopped by the guard. Miss Van Zandt then consoled herself by sending in anote to Sples. Sherift Matson says that he prohibits the ceremony simply on the ground of public decency be- cause bis vrisoner is condemned to hang. Justas soon, he adds, as the supreme court, either by ordering a rehearing or by any other move, makes it probable that his” pris- oner will not be executed, he will withdraw ny opposition to the marriage ia “Murder- ers’ Row.” For the present, however, ana 80 long as there appears no hope for Spies to escape the hanzman’s noose, the sheriff an- nounces that he will prevent a ceremony in the jall. He does this, he says, solely out of regard for public propriety, fust as he would revent a marriage at the poor house among ne inmates there or at the insane asylum among the inmates there, The relatives of Miss Van Zandt, and the oung woman herself afterward, had an in- lerview with the sheriff ana decided to relin- quish the idea of & marriage at prosent. Spies was nsked how he rezarded the order of the sheniff and said: *Whatdo I think of the order? Why, L regard it as being onl on a par with the treatment I have receive since was arrested. Then they wanted to lynch ms and they have kent IIY the persecution ever since. There s nnlhln? like the despotism of the petty offticials who have lived on the perquisites of their positions for years. Carter Harrison avas right when he said that such actions would shake every throne in Europe. ‘T'he sheriff he were the czar. In carry his despotism to such extremes as does bherift Matson.” One of the proprietors of a dime museum saw Miss Van Zandt this morning ana offered her $3,000 to appear at Lis place for a week. She refused the offer. # Mr. Leonard Swett, in speaking about the matter, said: I am not interested in the marriage of August Spies, but L am retained as counsel of Mr. Spies in his case vending in the sullrreuw court, and 1 have a deep in- terest in his behalf in that matter. Ymn very jealous of his defense. 1am opposed, however, to people marrying and beiny given in marriage on the road to the gallows.” PITTSBURG, Jan. 10,—Mrs, Arthurs, aunt of Miss Van Zandt, was seen by a reporter this afternoon. She said that she had just halt an hour previously received adyices from Chicago of the sheritl’s action. 'The lady, who looked like one who had suffered great wmental diswess, said that she highly com- mended the firmness and manhood of_the Chicago oflicial, adding that everr for Miss ‘Van Zandt she thonght that it was the kKind- estand most considerate thing that could have been done. CHEMES FRUSTRATED, CricAao, Jan. 19.=The story Is told this evening that a young woman in men’s clothes attempted to visit Anarchist Spies in all, but was discovered and left hastily upon eing threatened with arrest. The sheriti’s deputies are said to be taking measures to checkmate a plan to smuggle 4 justice of the pence into jail with Miss Van Zandt, and while the friends crowd around have the marriage ceremony performed through the bars of the ‘cage” where the prisoners go to seo friends, e HOLDING THE FORT [ will Be IRELAND.

The prince’s story 1s well worth repeating; it only to give Washburne a chance to contra- dict 1t or to include it in the next bateh of “Reminiscences.” Before and during the siege of Paris Prince de Wittgenstein, who is husband of Princess de Mingrele, had his official residence at 120 Champs Elysees.
