Their Attomeys Talk for Them in the Supreme Court, He Creates n Favorable Tmp: celves Demoeratic Applause— Cong ews, ings of Both Houses of and Other Washington Wasmxaros, D, €. Jan Tho cases of Samuel Fielden and Michaer Schwab, the Chicago anarchists convicted of complicity 1 the famous Haymarket riots and uow con- fined in the Joliet penitentiary under life sen- tence, were up in the United Statessupremo cou ay for argument. Solomon, for the prisoners, maintained that the wen not hav ing been present when the state supreme court pronounced seatenco of death, it was a deprival to them of due precess of law and coutrary to the provisions of the constitution of the United States and likewise contrary to law in refusing to show the facts T'he chief justice suggested that the state supreme court merely hixed the time for exe- cution. Mr. Solomon asserted that the court did more by rocording that the,persons were prosent. He then made another point by af- firming that thero was noauthsrity by which the governor of the state could direct tho en- forcement of his commutation of sentence. “The power of pardon and commutation wero conferred by law on the governor, but there ¥as no manner proviaed by statuts for en forcing imprisonment where ordered in com- mutation of a death sentence, und the gov the largest | t | crnorin directing such imprisonment had assumed a power Lot vested in him. Justico Gray asked if there was anythic to sbow whether or not the prisoner nad a cented the governor's pardon. Mr. Solomon ggplied that there was noth- ing whatever to'show that such would be ac- cepted. “T'he judge asked if the result would be that tho mon would go free and that a commuta, tion would amouat to an absoluto pardon, Mr. Solomon admitted this, but maintained that though commutation might, under the Ilmois laws, be ordered, no power existed to enforco the imprisonment orderod. Mr. George Hunt, attorney general of tho state of [llinois, followed Mr. Solomon in be- half of the state of Iilinois. He maintuined that tho United States supreme court had no jurisdiction to pass upon the action of the supreme court of Ilinois. The only allega- tion on the part of the court, whose judg- ment was sought to be reviewed, was a refusal to amend its record and show that Fielden and Schwab were not bodily present when the judgment was ren dered. This court had jurisdiction to review the final resort of the several states only whenever & federal question was involved. He submitted that no federal question was involved in the record, or that there was no final judgment to be reviewed. Thero was simply a docision of the supreme court of the state of Illinois on a motion made subse- quent to the entry of final judement in tho origival case. Morcover, tho supreme court's judgment was not a condemnation of the parties, but simply a refusal to interfere with its own record. Mr. Hunt then called attontion to the fact that it was not until the next torm of court that the men filed their objections, any he asked when the litigation would end if the counsel could come in at any time and allego errors in the record. There was no reason, ho said, for tho presence of the men in the court. 'There is 1n the case a suggestion that the two men are subjects of Great Britain and Gormany. Attorney General Hunt said ho was unable to find uiything in the treaties by which the case could be affected. A for- eigner stood on no better ground than an American citizen, neral Butler —That is true, In the course of this part of the argument Mr. Hunt quoted from an utterance of Gen- eral Butler to the effect that foreigners wero entitled to no greater consideration nan American citizens, “and not so much if they did not behave themselves,” aud paid a com pliment to bis opponent by adding that it was thatspirit “which enables him to_measure diplomatic swords with Palmer Stone and not_como off second best in tha couflict.” Goaneral Butler arose and thanking Mr. Hunt, snid: “What is the court to coma to i the foreigners have here, under the treaties, exnctly the same rights that we have, but that when the rights gnaranteed by treaty to 8 foreigner are brought in question ho is en- titied to adjudication through the courts of tho United States, and that thereforo ® federal question would come up in the records.” The 1portanco of this statement is that it shows the manner in which it 15 expected to stablishthe jurisdiction of the United Siates supreme court and its right to review the proceedings insthe stato court. The attorney genoral of [llinois then closed bis argument by addressing himself to the claims made in behaif of Schwab, that there was no authority for sonding Schwab to the penitentiary after commutation of his sen- tence, and ihat tho letters directing his con finowent and tho copies of the court's do- cisions amounted to nothing as autority therefore Mr. Hunt imaintained that unles: the pardoning power was regulated by law the manuer of its excreise was entirely a matter of oxocutive discretion. Chief Justico Fuller—Has any application been maye to the supreme court of Illinois on behalf of this -an on this ground{ Mr. Hunt—No, sir. Tho chief justice question then? Mr. Hunt argued that thero was none and said that the claim that Schwab's imprison- ment, under commutation by the governor, was illegal, novel und amusing. General Butler will make the closing ar- gument tomorrow. Where is tho federal CONGRESSIONAL P! IDIN Jerry Simpson Mukes His First Spaech House—Work of Both Branches.

The first gymuastic extibition of the Omaha Athletic club was held last evening. Ihe lady friends of the memboers turned out in full force to encourage the ambitious ath letos in thoir goou work. Ivery availablo iuch of space in tho olub houso” was filied with the members and their lady friends, After a selection by the orchestra, the club tug-of-wur team, four men under Captain Nicholas, pulied aguinst a picked team of five club'mombers, Two palls were wou by the club team. 2 Thon followed some interest parallel bars by Messrs. Zimmerman, Con nery, Martin, Heintzo and Anderson. An exhibition of fancy Indian club swinging was given by Mr. Meyers, who showod great skill. Mr. Blair then entertained the audionce with an exhibition of very difficnlt clup swinging that_elacited warm applaasn. Soma dififcult and interesting work on hovizontal bars was dona by Membors Redicl, Martin, Zimmerman, Albert and Prof. Brook .er. ~Mr. Zimmerman and Chat Redick did work which callod forth considerable hearty applaus A bout at fencing for scientific points b tween Miss Donman and Prof. Hougel was the feature of tho cvening's entertainment.

In the vaulting coutest which ciosed tho exhibition, Gus Drexel made a leapof 8 feet S inches. “Ihe floor of the exorcise room was then cleared and dancing was indulged in until the usual closing bour arrived. These cater tainments will bo repsated monthly, LADI Athictie Their iz work on the A new species of the so-called farce com- edy has been evolved by the theatrical tink- ers, aud the Primrose & Wost Comady com pany presented it at the Boyd thoater last night. It is named S bells” and is styled a “nautical pantomimic comedy,” which is about as accuratively descriptive as the titles of christeners of farce cowedies usu- ally are. The performanco displays no dramatic ability worthy the serious consideration of tho critic, but it 15 a conglomeration of farce, pantominie, speciaitios and scenic effects that is rousovably sure to please the masses and make moncy, It has considerablo worked over material, sume of it suggestive of tho Hanlons' stage business, and oven of poor old “Humpty Dumpty,” but the play mak- ors have added new mutorial and discovercd auother combination, For amusement pure and simple “5 Bells” will rank among the best of its kind, and tho stuging of the sccond act s one of the great- est things ever attempted in farce comedy. Itrepresonts a slip at sea, and when a drop is raised it exposes to the audience tho in terior of the vessel with two staterooms in front. Toe performunce is carried on in those two compartments, and a mechanical contrivance causes the ship to roll from sido to side. Rigging avovo and fittiug scenery 1 the backeround carry out the illusion in excellent manner. Toward the close of the scaue a storm avises and carrios away tho igging aud everything on deck. Tho rock- ing of the ship begins to iucreaso and con- tinues until it rolls eutirely over. The occu pants of the staterooms bave a lively time in all this turmoil, and the curtain goos down on a roariug andionce. It 15 & romarkably effective piece of staging, and this act alono would make the play go with the public. The Byrue brothers introduco considerablo pantomimio work and juggling vud Tnox Browne does sowo arbistic whistling, The performance is clean, novel, interesting and laughable. — NOUNCEME. ‘The modern playwright who has sufferca at the hands of tho critics may gathor some cousolation from reading the pen lashings which fell to the share of Oliver Goldsmith on the production of “Sho Stoops to Con- quer.”’ . Oue of these learned gentlemen says: *Tho drift tonds to no moral, no edi- tication of any kind—the situations, however, are well imagined, and make ono laugh in spite of tho erossness of the dialogue, the foreed witticisms, and total improbability of the whole plan and conduct. But what dis gusts me most is that, though the characters are very gross and alm at low humor, not one of them says a sentenco that 15 uatural or marks any character at all.” AN 5. tof | The play had not Tun a week bofore the public began to laugh av the critics and with the author and so they have gone on doing now for over 100 years, That “'She Stoops to Conguer” has real bumor and tto ring of the truo metal is_evincad by its being today as capable of holdiug au audience and making them laugh as it was in the last cen- tur 1E will be o delight to lovers of this fino old comedy to bear that Mr. Stuart Robson purposes this season 10 give it a magniicent production with a fino cast and the most careful attention to orunte details in the mounting.
