RespIted Anarchists.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL, November 25.-
At IL o'clock this morning Judge
Scott granted the supersedeas in the
anarchists cases. Messrs. Black,
Sweet and Solomon, counsel for the
anarchists, started at once to Ottawa
to have the clerk issue an order in
pursuance to Judge Scott's instruc-
tions. The effect OF the order will be
to stay the execution at least until the
fall bench of the supreme coart has
passed upon the questions raised for
new trial. 1t is estimated that in the
ordinary course of procedure hear
ing and decision cannot be reached
for six or eight weeks, and lhat even
though the lower court is sustained,
the sentence cannot be carried out
until some time in March or April.

cLEvELAND's REFORM RULES.
Will Be Adhered to Until the End of
the Administration.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Since the
election number Of politicians in and
out Of Congress have been wrestling
with the President about civil service
and other matters of administrative
policy, which, they console themselves,
were the causes of Democratic disas-
ters in the late campaign, The great
est dissatisfaction appears to exist in
Virginia and Indiana, although self
constituted deputations from other
States have called at the Executive
Mansion and have volunteered their
advice as to the duty Of the President
The latest callers in this line were
Senator Voohees and Ex-senator Nc
Donald They went over the whole
ground and in 3anvassing the situa-
ton Senator Voohees afterwards re-
marked;
II think the President is fixed in
his convictions as to the policy of his
administration upon civil service and
other matters not necessary to emu
merate. / believe there is no use in
trying to convince him otherwise. He
is set in his views and ! am now salts
fed that he will carry them out to the
end"
During the conversation the Presi-
dent observed 81 shall not lie to
you as to my purpose to carry out the
pledge OF the platform, nor shall / lie

ocratic principles as enunciated in the
platform in charge of the administra-
ton of the Government, The people
voted in good faith for reform and /
shall give it to them in good faith to
the utmost extent OF my power"
Senator Voorhees, said :"I do not be-
lieve in the Presidents method, hut
still he may be right. In Indiana we
have been badly handled and the cause
is attributed to the policy of the Tres
ident about the offices"
A member of the administration
covered the ground in Indiana when
he said Of Penniylvania that "the
trouble in the Democratic party was
the scramble of petty leaders to get
control. If the old methods of party
organization and discipline were
maintained there would be united ef-
fort. The independent spirit has
broken out in the ranks of the Demo.
cracy. That is what is doing the dam
age, just as it has been in the Repub
lican ranks for the past few years"
AS Senator Voohees added, "all we
can do is to go along with the tide and
take sounding when the time comes. "

UnlucIxy Wade Hampton.

WASHINGTON, Nov PA dispatch
from Columbia, S. c., reports that
Senator Wade Hampton and a party
of friends started out hunting Mon
day morning. The party became sep
arated and in the afternoon, while
riding through thick wood, Hamp-
toms gun was caught by a vine and
discharged. The load OF buckshot en-
tered the head Of his horse and killed
him. The horse fell on the senator.
He was severely hurt, his leg being
badly manned. After several hours
painful effort he got loose and with
the aid of stick hobbled on one leg,
weak and almost exansted, for five
hours through dense wood toward
his home. The party reached the
senator's house about s o'clock, ex-
pecting to find him there. As it grew
late and he did not return, they start
ell to look for him and found him a
short distance from home limping
slowly toward it.

"I'll have to raise that boys salary
