Nothing was saved but a tew barrels of the manufac- tured product, The workmen on tho upper floors had a narrow escape, Several firomen working on @ ladder when the roof fell in were precini- tated to the ground, receiving slight injuries.

King was arrested and fined for the offense named, ana the at first trivial case has been in the state and federal courts ever sinco and {s now pending in the United States supreme court, The original sentence was afirmed by the state supreme court. Then the defense was undertakon by the Na- tional Secular nssociation, who employed Don M. Dickinson and carried the case to the United States circuit court on a writ of habeas corpus. Judge Hammond ruled that the federal government had no rivht to re- view the state's decision and the case was thereupon appealed to the suprome court of the United States. It is not uniikely the Adventists will still push the case to a con cluslon in spite of King's death. i CHICAGO'S ANARCHIST: Policy the City Authoritics Will Pur- sue in Dealing with The Citicaco, 11, Nov, 13, —Seventeon alleged anarchists, arrosted at last night's meeting, were arraigned in justico court this morning. Complaints wero made against them, some for resisting ofiicers, others for carrying con- cealed weapons and for disorderly conduct Several police ofiicers were examined and heir evidence was practically the same us the story of last night's arrests. When the court assembled agaiu the crowd of on-lookers was somewhat less, Lav Cox begau the oxamiuation of the seventeen defendants and _completed that of four of them. Each will be examined singly and the case gives evidence of being a long on: Thie defense attempted to prove by its wit- nesses that the meeting raided by the oficers was n peaceable one and had no connection h any anarchistic movement whatever, being merely a rogular business meoting of the Socialistic Publishing society. This evening a bill was_ filed in the ciccuit court by Thomas Grief to restrain Mayor Wastiburne, Superintendent of Police Me- Claughrey, ' Inspector Lewis and Captain Mahoney from entering upon the premises owned by complainant, or from interfering with any meetings or assemblys held in his hall. The case will probably come up before Judize Tulloy tomorrow morning. Both Maycr Washborne and Chief Mc- Claughrey today, in speaking of the avrest of auarchists at Grief’s hall, advanced the belief that the object of the meeting and the organ- 1zed plot of the anarchists wus not to commit any acts of violence nor to throw bombs, but to keep up an anarchistic agitation to con- vinco foreigners that Chicago will not be asafe place to como to in the World's fair vear, either to exhibit goods or see them. 'he action of Inspector Lewis in break- ing up the meeting has my eutire approval,” said the mayor. The incendiary utterances of the unarchists must bo_stovped, for they are hikely to do Chucago incalculable injury’; injury fur greater thun suy damage thoy could do by overt violenco. “What will your policy be!” “To suppress with a firm hand all meetings hold to advoeate anarcnistic principles.” *Will you revoke Grief's license for his saloon and ball if the policemen recommend it “*Will revoke any license that the police recommend.” Major McClaughrey expressed the same v of the purposc of the prosent agitation. ““What reason have you for this belief ¢ “Wo are justifled in drawing the con- clusion from the vemarks of the speakers at the meeting. They allcry for revenge on Chicago.” Moses Solomon who applied to _the circuit court for an injunction 1o restrain the police from iuterfering with the meetings in Grief" hall called on the chief with his client Grief and with Assistar.t Corporation Counsel Chetwin to iuform him of the agreement that had been entered into by himself and Mr. Chetwin that tho police should interfere with no peaceable meetings there until the courts should hear the application. Mr, Sol- omon objected to the word ‘‘peaceable,” claiming there were no other kind of meet- ngs $0 1t was unnecessary, but Mr. Chetwin would not agree to the stipulation without it. As the stipulation dia not restrict the right of tho police to decide what is and what is not a peaceable meeting, the chief agreed to it BOUNTIES OF GOD'S PROVIDENCE.

A perusal of advance proofs of the resolutions shows that the leading proposul concerns Ireland ana discloses the fact that the con- servative leaders have resisted the appeal of an influentiul section of the party to ignoro Irish affairs. The conferenco will be asked to endorse the intention of the ministers to extend local government and promote technical education in Ireland.

Loxnoy, Nov. 13, —S0me surprise was ex- pressed in this city upon the receipt of a dis- patch unnouncing vhe extraordinary activity which was being displayed by tho Russtan government in connection with the internal disturbances which are kuown to exist in tho empire. It was thought at first that the government's action was due from the trouble arising from the scarcity of food existing in many aistricts of Russia, as for some days past dispatches have beon received in this city depicting with minuteness the terrible sufferings of the starying peasants. Man acts of lawlossness have been reported ds having been committed by men rendered desporato by the pangs of hunger and the statement made that the marshals of the no- bility would be held to & strict accountability for any disturbances in their districts was taken to mean that the starving peasants and small farmers were assuming a threatening attitude. A dispatch recoived this evening stated that a short time ngo it came to the knowl- edge of the police that a couspiracy was under way. The authorities were able to learn who the conspirators were, their places of meeting and everything connected with the plot. While secretly pursuing their in vestigations in St~ Petersburg tney found that the coaspirators in that city were onlya part. of a very numerous band, the hoadquarters of .which was located in Moscow. They learned also that the couspirators had been very ac- tive in sccuring adherénts to tneir plan and that the conspiracy had rami‘ications which spread to all the principal cities of the empire. The object of the conspiracy just uncarthed, unlike a majority of the plots dis- covered in Russia, was not to kill the czar, but was the organization of a movement baving for its end the creation of a repre- cutative assembly—an object which nas becn the dream of many Russians for years. Sixty members of the nobility and of the upper and mddle classes, who are charged with complicity in the couspiracy, have been arrested, T'he discovery of the plot and the arrest of so many prominent subjects has caused a decided sensation to Russia.

A lotter of regret was read from Governor Boies of Toswa, the reading of which was greeted with great applause. The letter dealt principally with the prohibition and taviff questions. ‘Cne lotter stated that both Kansas and lIowa bad been led into the adoption of sumptaary laws, governing the liquor trafc, at vari- ance with the enlightened sentiments of a vast majority of the civilized world. The re- sult had been a tacit assent to the open vio- lation of those laws in the large cities, or a substantial barrier to their growth and orosperity, whilo not diminishing the evils they were interded to correct. The letter detuiled what the governor belioved to be various oppressions of the protective tarift and urged the democrats of Kansas to re- main steadfast in their fight against that system, —The an- RAILWAY TROUBLES. Threatened Strike on the Southern Pacific System. Houvston, Tex., Nov. 13.—A conference was had today between commitiees repre- souting all the trainmen, except the ougi- neers and firemen, of cho Southern Pacific system and General Supovintendent Van Vlick. The conference lastod all day, but so far as can bo learnod no progress was made In the situation, which threatens a strike on the entire system from Now Orleans to San Francisco, Tho traiumen are still makine efforts to have the engineers and firemen join i some demand so that stould a strike bo ordered the entire system would bo tied up. There is always friction between the engineers and the road, and should they join with the other trainmen and their demands be refused the greatest strike ever seen on the American continent will ensuod—ono which would test the strengti of both sides, just as the Knights of Labor strike did here. - RIGUT ROYALLY Intive RECEIVED.
