THE CHICAGO ANARCHISTS.
The Municipal Council of Paris
Intercedcs for Them.

PARIS, December l. = M. Roouet.
Secretary of the Paris Municipal Coun-
Gil, has forwarded to United States Min.
lister McLane petition adopted by the
Council on November 9th, asking for
his intercession with the Governor of
Illinois in behalf of the condemned Chi
cago Anarchists. McLane sent the fol-
lowing reply: "As the petition is des-
tined forltheEG Governer of Illinois, and is
made with the object of sparing human
life, will not refuse my assistance if
you persist in demanding it, but allow
me to inform you that in the present cas-,
it is useless. You can, without disad.
vantage and with as much efficacy as l,
address yourself direct to the Executive
of Illinois, who alone has the power of
granting the pardon. Without raising
objections to the accomplishment of your
wishes beg you will rest assured that
capital punishment is applicable in no
state of the Union to political offenses,
but is prescribed only for odious crimes |
against the public. such as murder and |
rape committed under aggravated cir +
cumstances and with premeditation. In |
political matters there exists in the
United States a moderation which even
profound disagreements are powerless
to alter. In the discussion of great po.
litical and social problems touching the
welfare of workers, we proceed with
wide liberty, showing spirit of frater-
nifty and tolerance which renders vic.
lence inexcusable and always prsjudicial
to its authors. When the majority pro-
nounces, every one submits. If this
great and salutory principle OF giving
expression to the will of the majority
which forms the basis of American insti.
tutions be ignored, social order founded
on liberty and fraternity collapses and |
society falls once more into chaos" No |
Lane at Roquets request consented to
transmit the councils petition to Cover

attention to this before 1 let you 60 and
you know it, that there is great deal OF
condemnation of courts of Justice OF this

When Jurors refuse, or decline or fail to
exercise their judicial functions and as
sist, as they swear they will do when

the public ought to hold the jurors re-

A BIG STRIKE.
MIR. Blaine's Miners want Bet.
ter Protection.

CLEVELAND, o., December IA spe.
cial from youngstown says: Indications
are that general strike among all coal
miners in Mahoning valley will begin be
fore the close of a week. Men at sew.
eral mines near here recently demanded
an advance of ten cents per ton, the
present basis being fifty five cents. OPP
orators, after considering the matter, re.
fused to accede to the demand, claiming
they could not afford to pay it and keep
the mines in operation, though admitting
that the wages earned by the men were
very low. Today, the miners
in the employ of the Witch
Hazel Coal Company, Foster Company
and Manning Coal Company, numbering
in all upwards of thousand, all struck
and refused to work, stating that they
would not go in until the advance was
conceded. The demand was made at
the Poland shaft and several others for
an advance. bp'eas yet they have not
gone out. Bo&4 sides are firm and o
long lockout is expected by many.

S4.OOO.OOO WANTED
To Build Railroads In Southern
California,


SAN Francisco, December lit is
rumored that four million dollars is
wanted by the California Southern Rail
way Company to occupy fertile valleys
and tap larger towns in the territory ad'
iacent to that through which the line
now runs. 1t cannot be learned that
the extent of construction or the prob.
able cost has been fully determined
upon, but it is well known that the sub
iect is under consideration. There is
some doubt whether the privilege will
be extended to the California Southern
or to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe stockholders, but the chances are in
favor of the former. Under its charter,
the California Southern Company can
build no more road, but it can be built
in the name of other corporations and
leased to the California Southern, the
stockholders of the latter corporation
furnishing the means. As stockhoider
in the California Southern, the Atchi.

A CRISIS IN OHIO.

A Disruption of the Senate Caused by tho
Hamilton County Contests Republic
ans, Under ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Ken.
needy, Declare the Body Adjourned, and
Democrats Reorganize Under the Presi-
dent Pro Tem-Ea Oh Claims to Be the
Legal Senate.
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 23.-The expected
crisis of revolution came in the State SEN
ate yesterday, and lastnight there were re-
ports that the police and militia will have
to be called out. Investigation shows,
tenant-Governor Kennedy consulting with
Governor Foraker and Adjutant- General
Axline, or with Mayor Walcott to secure
support are entirely without foundation.
The fact, however that the Senate chamber
was the scene of a disgraceful row yester-
day can not be contradicted.
Lieutenant Governor Kennedy, the pre-
4iding officer, is a Republican. There are
seventeen Republican Senators and twenty
Democratic Senators. The pending ques-
zion was on the contests of four of the
Democratic Senator's from Hamilton, and
the issue was on the ruling OF Kennedy that
the four could not vote OH ques-
their title to seats This would leave the
Senate stand seventeen Republicans to six
teen Democrats. A motion had been made
to discharge the committee investigating
the Hamilton County cases, and hear the
contests in open Senate. This was carried
by vote of II to 16, or rather by vote
of IL to O, as the Democrats refused to
vote. When the Chair held that the Cincin-
N a Spr,o t0r 1ot ut hQir tyT1
cases, the last movement of the Demo-
Gratis, after the motion dischargiDg the COM
mittee had been carried, was to demand q
call of the Senate, and when all the MEM
bers had answered to their names the Chair
declared that, the object having been Sc
cured, further proceedings under the call
would be dispensed with. He ordered the
clerk to note that certain Senator's who
previously responded had been present and
refused to vote.
Then followed such tumult that the lob
by took as much part as the Senators, and
finally q Senator ON the Republican side
moved to adjourn. The motion was put
and carried on viva voce vote. Lieuten-
ant-Governor Kennedy accordingly de-
clared the Senate adjourned till this
morning. He had no sooner left the
chair than Hon. John O'Neil, the
President pro tenn, took it and
the gavel fell. The other nine
teen Democratic Senators, who were about
to leave, resumed their seats and proceeded
to the routine business. After going
through the form of getting out from I'M
der the CALL by motion the rump Senate
adjourned till Monday afternoon at four
p. m. Both sides now claim to be the
true Senate OF Ohio.
