THE ANARCHISTS.
Crushing Evidence Against the Accused.

CHICAGO, July 25.
At the anarchists trial this morning, Au-
gust Hem, printer, was the first witness. He
set up portion of circular calling for the
Haymarket meeting. Witness obtained copy
of this circular from defendant Fischer
wrote a German version. and witness is posi-
tive he wrote the following: "Workingmen,
arm yourselves and appear in full force 3"
M. II. Marks, detective, testified to finding
dynamite in the Arbeiter Zeitung office.
III. L Gilmer, painter, arrived at Haymar
ket at 9.45. At the corner of Despaines and
Randolph streets he saw wagon occupied by
the speakers. Fielden was speaking. Wit
ness saw some one leave the wagon and start
toward the alley where four or five persons
were conversing. Witness was at the mouth
of the alley. At that moment some one cried,
"Here comes the police" Then the man
who had left the wagon and Joined the parties
in the alley lit match and placing it against
something held in the hand of one OF the per-
sons fuse began to sizzle, and Immediately
thereafter bomb was thrown.
Witness was shown picture of Schnaubelt
and recognized it as that of the man who
threw the bomb. Witness also recognized
Spies and Fischer as two of the group re-
ferred to in the slley. This appeared to be
the crushing evidence against the accused.
The witness was subjected to a rigid cross
examination, which only resulted in confirm
ing the truth of his testimony.
The anarchists, particularly Spies and
Fischer, appeared to be completely bowed
down by the damaging character of the evil
dence so coldlv delivered against them.
A death like stiffness settled over the court
room as the witness Gilmer continued his tes-
timony When he pointed out Spies as the
man who lighted the fuse, the judge, jury,
counsel prisoners and spectators leaned for
ward eager to catch every word, and the
most intense, suppressed excitement prevail
ed. The faces of the prisoners turned livid
with fear. The cross examination in the
afternoon failed to shake Gilmer in the east.
His testimony was considered by far the most
damaging yet recorded

CONFINED In PRISON.
Editor Cutting Confined in Foul and
Dismal Dungeon.

CHICAGO, July 28.
In regard to the reported International
complications growing out of the arrest and
imprisonment of Editor Cutting at Paso del
Norte, Adjutant General Williams says that
the talk about the interests of American cti-
zens being imperilled in Ell Paso or its vicin-
ity, was perfect bosh As to the disposition
of troops he showed that Gen Howard could
in a very short time assemble force at Ell
Paso or its vicinity, which would seriously
inconvenience the forces which could be
raised in Chihuahua and all that section of
Mexico.
Gen. Williams has no fears, however,
about any conflict between the regular forces
of Mexico and the United States. The ex-
secretary OF war, Robert T. Lincoln, said it
was a small matter and he did not think it
would involve any international complication.
His experience led him to believe that Mexico
was friendly to the United States and that
personal difference between individuals would
not disturb the friendly feelings or lead to any
appeal to armed interference.
Ell PAso, Tex, July 25.
Editor Cutting, for whose release the United
States government made a formal demand on
Mexico, still remains in Jail. The air in the
dungeon in which he is incarcerated has be-
come so dreadfully foul that orders were
given to break small opening through the
thick adobe wall to admit fresh air. Before
this was done there was no ventilation except
by means of a small door.
His daily allowance for subsistence has

A BOOTHBAY VESSEL
Seized by Canadian Authorities on the
Charge of Smuggling.

MoNCToN, N. B., July 2S.
The American schooner, J. Miller, Capt.
Dickson, which arrived at Hopewell Cape,
New Brunswick, last Thursday, was seized
by the authorities for alleged infraction of the
customs laws. Information was lodged
against the Captain by outside parties, ,charg-
ing that he had smuggled quantity of wall
papers across the line that had been purchas-
ed in Boston. The customs officers searched
the vessel Tuesday, but found nothing. They
however, formally seized the schooner, put
her under guard and sent papers and evidence
to Ottawa. The vessel belongs in Boothbay,
Maine. Capt. Dickson denies the story and
says that the charge of smuggling is the work
of perjured witness, secured by the custom
house officers, to benefit themselves by the
fines collected or by the proceeds of vessel
sale, if confscated.

WASHINGTON NEWS.
Report of the Committee on Post Offices
and Post Roads.

WASHINGTON, July %.
The Senate has removed the Injunction of
secrecy from the reports of some of its COM
mittees in regard to the number of nomiaa-
tiSAs.
The committee on post offices and pos,
roads, to whom was referred the nomination
of VIM. Hyde to be postmaster at st. Louis,
Mo, in place of Rodney ID. Wells, suspend
ed, submits report which saws: 1.-The
records and files supplied to the committee in
this case by the postmaster general disclose
very resolute purpose on the part of the
partisan adherents of the present adminstra-
tion of the present executive department of
the government to effect change in the post
office at st. Louis. Applications and impor-
tunites IN this regard were so frequent and
persistent that a committee of three post
office inspectors were organized and instruct
ed to inspect the affairs and condition of the
office. The committee entered on the work
early in July. 1885, and forwarded a report
to the department on the 22d of that month.
The committee has examined the report so
made and is impressed thereby most favora-
bly, in respect of the efficiency of the SER
vice in the ST. Louis post Office, and it may
well be doubted whether any first-class Office
in the country could be subjected to the or
deal applied to that office and withstand il
with as little resulting damage as he did.
The service of the Office during Mr. Wells
administration has been efficient, the &C
counts are correct, and the only faults found
with him by the committee are such as the
members thereof admit and state in their re-
port to be "those which appeal to the noblest
sentiments of manhood" No one can read
the report of the committee without coming
to the conclusion that the administration of
the Office by Mr.. Wells was as nearly perfect
es possible. As the nominee is q it and COM
petent person, however, to fill the Office, the
committee recommend the confirmation of
his nomination.

They talked with leading citizens about the
Cutting case. They could hear nothing but
that Cutting was guilty of deliberate and ia

committed on Mexican soil came under Mex
ican laws. They stated that the publication
made by the prisoner in an Ell Paso news
paper did not figure in the matter except as
corroborating the charge of contempt based
upon other acts.
