Effect of Sunday's Discovery on Public Sentiment--Prominent Men Still Favor Commutation — Engel Makes Partial Confession. August Wants No Martyrdom. Nov. 7.—[Special Telegram to the test exploit of Anarchist Lingg has given something of a check to the efforts of those who have been civculating petitions asking exccutive clemency on behalf of the condemned anarchists, The relatives and associates of the anarchists are as busy and active as ever, but people generally who fuvored exccutive clemency now exhibit a marked change of sentiment, A great many well known people rec d letters at their houses yesterday containing petitions for them to sign, and with the request that they obtain as many signatures as possible and re- turn them to Henry Lloyd, care of the Chi- cago Tribune. Spies, Ficlden, Schwab and Fischer this afternoon all wrote to M. Salter, who has been working with Mr. Lloyd in their behalf, disavowing all knowledge of Lingg's exploit or sympathy with him. Spies says: “The first intimation I received of the matter came from Sherifft Mat son last evening. I could not believe it at first and can hardly believe it now. 1 haven't spoken to Lingg for, 1 think, nine months, 1 don’t know much of him, but I think he is @ mouo maniac. 1had ouly seen him once or twice before we were put ta gether and charged with ‘conspir don't believe that a single one of the other prisoners had even as much us o suspicion for othe s they would undoubtedly have rea- d the man out of his foll, Lingg, as fa s I can judge him, secks to be martyred and, to be candul, would like the rest of us to go with him, Did he put those instruments into his cell 50 they might be found? This is the question 1 have been asking myself. 1f he had them there for any purpose, this is the only one that looks plausible to me. He wants to dic thinking thereby to help the eause of labor, but he wanted us to die also.” The events of terday have also served to call out stronger expressions of opinions from most of the newspapers except the Chi- » Tribune and d, which make no mment. Speaking of the petitions and the ts of ven, nce that h been made in s the men are executed, the Times say This criminal menace of ve by the foreign disciples of social anarchy scems to have had considerable effect in intimidating some well- known eitizens and causing them to attach their signatures to the anarchial protest.

Cnicaco, Nov. 7.—Sherift Matson this morning said there tvas no doubt as to the na- ture of the stuff found in Lingg's bombs. That part of the filling had been taken out of a couple of the pipes and exploded, and that it had been found to be the strongest kind of dynamite. The amnesty people have their tables on the strects again this morning, but there secins to be less disposition on the part of the people to sign the petitions than Sat- urday, and but few names are being secured. Louis Lingg is deflant and sullen this morning. He put on his oldest suit of clothes, a pair of gray trousers and black jacket, put his feet uponthe little fron cot and began to read a paper. His cell is on the lower ticr,and looks out upon the examining cage. Report- crs may observe him at a distance of eight fi Lingg was restless, and every few mo- ments he would jerk his head around and stare through the grated door with a wild look. Presently he got up, planted himself in front of the cell door, thrust his hands into his pockets and looked straight before him upon the contracted field of his vision. He saw nothing but watchful clusters of re- porters and suspicious muscular bailiffs, He was nervous. He would lean against the wall, sit down on the edge of the cot, get up, put his elbows on the cross-bars of his cell and rest his face on his hands. A favorite attitude was to stand firmly erect, fold his arms over his broad chest and gaze out, bristling and ferocious. None of the seven were let out of their cells this morning, and Jailor Folz says they won't be to-day. Mrs. Schwab, Mrs. Engel and Mrs. Parsons came to sece their hus- bands, but the best they could do was to call out ‘“good morning” and send up some papers, No packages of any sort were allowed to go in. Nina VanZandt was there. “Good morning,” she called out to Spies. “‘Good morning,” he returned, and that was the end of the dialogue between them. She wrote a mnote which the janitor read and then sent up to Spies, All mail was broken and examined this morning, the first time since the imprisonment, and telegrams were torn open and read. ' All private communication with their friends ‘is_stopped, and will con- tinue to be until the day of execution, if that comes. Captain Black and Moses Solomon came to the jail at 10 o'clock. ~Black had only stepped iuto the oftice when Jailer Folz took him into his private roomand talked earnestly to him. Black then talked with of his clients at their cell SWill the finding of these in Lingg's cell change any of the plans of de- fense, Mr. Solomon?” “No. We will go right ahead with the petitions and ask clem- eney for Lingg, and go to Springfield Tues- day as already arranged.” itis reported that the police have discov- ered eleven dynamite bombs, which were se- creted in the house of an anarchist near tho gas works on West Division street. The police were working on the case all day yesterday, and Lave kept the discovery very quiet. The mat- ter whetrft became known, caused great ex- citement in the vicinity of the jail. Soon_after the rumored finding of the bombs in the northwestern part of the ¢ number of detectives came to the ofti Licutenant _Slayton, where a consultation was_held, in which Captain Schaack and Chief Ebersold joined. The conference was kept up for some time, until word was re- ccived that the alleged dynamite bombs were n;»nlxlmg but a lot of empty gun cartridge shells, Mrs. Parsons Abandons All Hop Cuicago, Nov. 7.—The dark-skinned wife of Anarchist Parsons has at last abandoned hope.

The blood of my husband be upon them.” The Police Programme, Cnieaco, Nov. 7.—A secret conference was held this afternoon between the superintend ent and inspector of police and the captains of the various precincts and a complete pro- gramme was arranged for Friday covering the whole city. Captain Schaak will have command of the uniformed police detailed to to tho scenc of the hanging Friday. In ad- dition _to the fail, - arrangements were made for carefully’ protecting all prop- erty belonging to the city. A strong guard will also bo placed in the board of trade building to which, in case of trouble, it is thought the rioters might repair. A large number of deteetives has also been _assigned to shadow every man who was actively en- gaged in the anarchist trial. It is understood some leading firms in the business center of the city have also taken measures to protect theiv property in ease of trouble. Two regi- ments of state militia will be held under wrms at their armories on Eriday, but it is not anticipated there will be any necessity for their services, I want to live with the husband in a dungeon ever be- That will give me strengih to Pursons Mr. Judge Gary's Awkward Position, Cnicaco, Nov. 7.—[Special Telegram to the Bee)-—-General W. W. H. Pursons, brother of the condemned anarchist, has written a letter of a column and a half to Governor Oglesby speaking for clemency and citing historical parallels and ‘“notorious unfairness’ of trial. Judge Gary is said to feel very keenly the awkward position in w e and States Attorney Grinnell have been placed by the action of Judges Tuley, Moran, MeAllister, Baker and others in signing the appeal for clemency, as ameasure of public policy. It is said the old Jurist regards their signing such document and the reusons which they assigned as a ta- cit admission of the guilt of the condemned wen and the fear of the consequences of the doctrines which they preach. Judge Gary will say nothing directly to the press regarding his probable action in the matter. As one gentleman said to-day: *“The signing of the petition by so many other judges will make Gary and Arinnell worse marks for anarchist ed than ever, should they refuse to sign Might Get o Habeas Corpus Writ.

The newspapers are attachi- ng altogether too much importance to threats. The number of threatening communications have been very limited indeed. ‘The governor's mail this morning was com- posed of a little over one hundred letters, nearly all of which related to the ana case. This is an_increase over any pre: day and the proportion of requests for clem- ency is also said to be somewhat greater than yesterday. Chicago, as usual, furnished the bulk of the mail on this subject, and a considerable number of letters are said to : been marked personal or confidential is quite a necdless precaution on the part of the writers, as no one but the gover- nor sces his anarchist mail. 1t is a significant that most of the communications void of “any firm label or printing any kind whatever that would indic: the identity of the sender, This, together with the fact that so many of the letters are marked personal would convey the impres- sion that a large majority of the writers are giving their views to the governor under a seal of confidence and have a decided disin- clination to _the public being informed as to their real apinion regarding the best policy to be pursued in this crisis, This, without doubt, has partially influenced the governor to refuse publicity of his entire anarchist correspondence, Ogleaby's Fricnds Interviewed. SpriNGeigLn, 1L, Nov. 7.—A representa- tive of the Associated press called this after- noon upon a number of Governor Ogleshy fricnds in order to learn, if possible, their views as to his probable aotion in the anarch- ist case. Judge Matheny, of the Sangamon county court,said: *1 havo known Governor Oglesby intimately for forty years and what- ever he decides to do in the case he will do regardless of threats of violence or other cfforts. He is sympathetie and T would not be surprised if he commuted the sentence of two or three of them,” The Hon, William Springer said: known Governor Oglesby long cnough to know that he has the moral and phy courage to, do his duty as he understands it.

Heis a very kind man. There is ne boubt there are different degrees of guilt in the cases of the men. I am confident, however, that no threats of violence will deter the governor from conscientiously performing his duty as he understands it.” Hon. Wiley E.Jones,democratic representa- tive from the Springfield district, who re- 1 a request from the. Chicago members of the united labor party to assist them in presenting the petition for elemency to the governor, said to-day that he had _decided to take no action with the committee. *“The courts have passed upon tho law and evi- dence in tho case,” said he, “and the same law which gives them power to thus adjudi. cate also confers upon the governor the right to interpose commutation or pardon.

SrwiNGrIELD, 11, Nov. 7.—A portion of the committec of the united labor party who come to intercede with the governor in he- half of the condemned anarchists arrived here this evening, The members talked ly ing their mission to the Associ- ated press representative. When asked what cffect the finding of the bombs in Linge's cell would haye, Mr. Dixon said: “The effect so far produced is deplorable and one delegation in this city to-night would be ten times as largo as itis hiad not this matter been published broad- cast. T do not know whetlier it is really tr that the bombs were secreted In the cell by Lingg, but I can say this, that if it is proven beyond & doubt, after further investigation, that the bombs were there with his procurct ment, no one can conscientiously ask clem- ency for him, If Lingg wanted to insure the hanging of himself and_ all his comrades, ho could not have done a more likely thini to attain that cnd than to secrete those bowbs just as he is alleged to havo done.” Later in the evening Mr. Dixon scanned closely the press dispatches from Chicago to learn, if possible, whether it had been defin- itely ascertained that Lingg had concealed the bombs_in his cell, or whether there was ground, for ' the beliet that they had been placed there by the ofticials for. the purpose of aggravatinggoublic sentiment. ~ Mr. Dixon asserted that W he believed the bombs were placed in the cell by Linge with tho ful nowledge and_consent of his comrades he would never present a petition to the gover- nor in their behalf. Notover an hour was spent by the governor in his oficeat the capitol to-day. He made a brief visit to the state house about 3:30 oclock and rethrned to the executive man- sion at 4:30. The whole day was cousumed in consideration of the anarchist petitions proand con. The friends of the condemmed anarchists cxpeet Nina Van Zandt to come to-morrow or Wednesday to accompany dele- gations to the capital, Great excitement was occasioned here to- night by the announcement that Assistant Adjutant General Ewert had notified the two companics of state militia belonging here to be in readiness to assemble for service, Men in military uniforms wereseen on the streets but when questioned simply said they had been notified to be ready to respond to the sigual. 1t 1s not known now what the objcet of the order is or where the troops are to be sent. The belief is prevalent, however, thut they are to be sent to Chicago. Herr Most Mad. 2w York, Nov. 7.—The leading topic of rsation among the amarchist leaders in this city to-day was the report of the finding of the bombs in the cell of the condemned anarchist, Lingg. All of the leaders agreed that it was a job putup by the police, and ‘when talking about it they grew greatly ex- cited. Herr Most denounced the police as cut-throats, thieves and murderers.

Pants (via, Havre), Nov. 7.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bee.]—The great Caffarel trial opened at 12:05 to-day i the coriectional tribunal of the Seine. The judge, draped in black, with his assessors also in black, sat behind & massive oaken bench, Over them was a large picture of Christ on the cross. The court room, which 18 only about fifty feet square, was thronged with an eager crowd, but, singularly enough, very few ladies were present. The accused, as they rambled in from a side door under escortof the gardes republicans, did not, with the exception of General Caffarel him- self and Lorentz, an almost equally military- looking man, appear an at all interesting lot. Lorents, Paul Bugene, aged forty- six, agent d'affaircs, seemed to feel his position very deeply—more so than any of the others. He is a tall, cadaverous, hatchet-faced man, with tawny hair. He is pale, sallow cyed and toyed nervously with his moustache, Caffarel is a square-faced, de- terinined.looking man with a long gray goatec and moustache. He appeared perfectly self- possessed and had as many remarks and sug- gestions as the president of the tribunal. He was dressed in a tightly buttoned up black frock coat—of course, without decoration. He glanced quickly at the picture of Christ, then he gazed at the ceiling with appavent in- terest, but when his turn for cxamination camo he looked the president straight in the face and when he had to enforce a point he did not hesitate to repeat it three or four times. All the accused were ranged around the table in front of the president and his two assessors, Toward the president's left sat Mme. Limouzin and, by her side, Lorentz. Then ina seat facing the bench, General Caffavel, with Mme. Ratazzi next to him. Next to Mme. Ratazzi was o great strapping garde republicaine, und on the other side of the gangway towards the president’s right were Mesdames Saint Lauveur and Veron, Atlas de Courteil and Agent Bayle who is a villainous looking fellow with long hair and shrinking ey As for the ladies of the party, what particu- larly struck me about them was the evident plainness and respectability of their appear- ance. Mme. Limouzin has on previoys oc- casions figured before the tribunal in a red mantle, edged with white furs. To-day, however, she was robed in black and kept rubbing her hump back against the bench on which she sat, perhaps to bring good luck to her own case. Mue, Rakazzi is tall and, it she were a man, might, like Cuaffarel, be described as military, 8She, to her credit be it said, kept blushing every few moments. The other accused on Indictment was not present, The president with impres- sivo gravity called out “Dand- law? The audience looked surprised then smiled. The president questions the ac- cused briefly and asks ubout his mcans of ex- istence, ete. Mme. Limouzin 1was first questioned. The president asked hers “How old are you{" Limouzin (rubbing her hands together and twinkling her cyes)—I was born June 7, 1846, and I have a child. Aftera few more questions the president motioned Limouzin to sit down, which she id and continued rubbing her hump against the bench. The president then turned towards Caffarel and said: and up.” arel irose with military precision, fixed his cycs on the president and folded his arms, The president said: “You have squandered alarge fortune. Then you gambled at the bourse and became entangled in all sorts of shady transactions.” Caffarel simply shrugged his shoulders. President—Why did you recommend Gail- lard, the brand merchant? Caffarel—I did so to please Gaillard. President—It was understood, was it not, that if you recommended Gaillard t! Galil- lard would pay your debts? Caffaret—Gaillard was my friend. The president then questioned Mme. Rat- azzi, who blushingly confessed to forty-five years and said she had a son and a daughter. President—In the R for which neral Dandlau recel had a comm Mme. Ratazzi—No, M. le president, T was only to get it when the general had his sec- ond 10,000 francs; I had nothing, other- wise it would be in my account book. I noted down everything T received from eral Dandlau—even little items such twenty President—Who caused Renault's francs to be r it Ratazzi—It was Mme. T, It will be remembered that the Renault case was one of the matters that ne brought the strange confederacy to g fore its time and revealed the connection be- tween the operations of General Caffarel and Limouzin, Renault was approached by one of Mme. Ratazzi's agents and plainly asked wheth he wanted a deco- ion. He, with equal directness, asked Mme. Ratazzi what would be the price and when it ought to be paid. Hhe was told 10,000 francs was paid but the decoration was not forthcoming and whilst Renault was awaiting his honors he received a letter from Mume. Limouzin assuring him that the influ- ence of the Ratazzi-Dandlau firm was ex- hausted and that she and her general could alone do the business desired. Heing thus fought for by a rival general was not at all to Renault’s taste and ho had the good luck to obtain from Dandlau a return of his money under a threat of exposure. There wasa good deal more concerning Dandlau, but the above gives the drift of his case. The next important persona, Caffarel, who really secms to have been a much a dupe as anything else. What he told of his misadventures constitutes a perfect sermon on the helplessness of a military man before bills and bill discounters. 1t is havdly 10 be supposed that he, at Lis own instance, embarked in the strange transaction in guuno, bran and ¢l T ral maintained with en under a " or s 10,000 Jimouzin, examination, that his object in obliging Madame Limouzin in recommending the claims of her friends for decoration, was to obtain her aid in discounting his bills and that he never contited upon any direct money transaction, The president—Did you leave uny presents with Mme, Limouzin} a pair of little pasteboard bellows by which it is peppered ubout for the destruction of fleas, cte. The strongest part of the evidence against Caffarel was the testimony of a dotective who under the name of “‘Langlois" undertook to work up the case. This man declared that he was introduced to Caffarel at Mme. Lim- ouzin's under the guise of a jeweler secking a decoration and that the general, on seeing him to the door at the termination of his visit, said: “Well, there is nothing changed in the price we have agreed upon.” The president asked: “Did you say this Cafar 0. All that T wished to convey W the manufacturers who were d generally rich men.” The session camie to a close by an incident, A full-blooded negro, named Enrich Desert, that corated were General Caftarel—Yes, 1left her two pots of mystard, small bottles of ingget Poisyhs aud a Hayti lawyer, was called as a witness to the transactions between General Caffarel and Coen, the wine merchant. The negro said: “The fact gentleman, this whole case breaks my by and I can’t remember anything about the transaction whatever,” The court then adjourncd till to-morrow.
