INTERCEDING FOR THE ANARCHISTS
The French Petition for Mercy.

The French Petition for Mercy.
Paris, December I'M. Rouget, secretary
of the Paris municipal council, has forward
to United States Minister McLane, the
petition adopted by the council on Novem-
Der 7th, asking for his intercession with the
governor of Illinois in behalf of the con-
demued Chicago anarchists. McLane sent
the following reply: "As the petition is
destined for the governor of Illinois, and
made with the object of sparing human life,
I will not refuse my assistance if you per-
sist in demanding it, but allow me to inform
you that in the present case it is useless
You can address yourself direct to the
executive of Illinois, who alone has
the power of granting a pardon. With
out raising any objection to the accomplish
ment of your wishes, beg you will rest as
sured that capital punishment is applicable
in no state of the union to political ofenses
It is precribed only for odious offenses
against the public veal, such as murder and
rape committed under aggravating circum-
stances and generalization. In political
matters there exists in the United States q
moderation which even profound disagree
ment is powerless to alter. In the discu =
siop of great political and social problems
touching the welfare of the workers we pro-
coed witt such liberty, showing spirit of
fraternity and tolerance which renders vio-
lence ine1cusable, and always prejudicial to
its authors. When majority pronounces
every one submits. If this great principle
of giving expression 10 the wilt of the ma
institutions be ignored, social order, formed
on liberty and fraternity, collapse. and
society falls once more into chaos" Nc
Lane at Rouget's request, consented to
transmit the councils petition to Gov rnor
Oglesby.

aumorins . Child.

Here is good story that Lady Bras
sey, the irrepressible, got in CONSTANT
Eople: sWe went down as far az the
French bridge, over which the contractor
lost an immense lot Of money in the fol-
lowing manner. The bridge was to have
been finiahed by q particular day, but
the contractor found that this would be
impossible with Turkish w0rkmen unless
he worked day and night. This he OBJ
tanned leave to do, and the necessary
lights and torches were supplied at the
Sultan's expense. All went we'll for a
time, till the unfortunate contractor was
told that he must open the bridge to lei
q ship from the dock-yard pass through
some time before the bridge was finished.
He said it was impossible, as he would
have to pull everything down, and i,
would take two or three months to re-
place the scafolding and pile-drivine
machines. He went to the Ministers
of Marine and Finance. They said: ii
the Sultan says it must be done it mus,
be done, or we shall lose our places, j
not our heads So the ship came cut q,
q cost of little over s1OO, 900 and de.
lay of three months in the completion o.
the bridge, all because the Sultan found
his small son crying in tie harem one
day, the child's grief being that, though
he had been promised to be made an Ad
miral, he could not see his flag hoisted
on his particular ship from the nursery
window. So a large iron clad wa:
brought out out from the dock-yard and
moored in front Of Dolmabsgtcheh to
crafty his infant mind, thus causing
enormous inconvenience to the whole
town fer months, to say nothing of the
waste of money, Of which the Sultan paid
very little, and for the loss of which,
imagine, he cared still less"

Thereupon the clerk produced large

They we're "lorgnette eyeglasses" &C

these are the proper things, ard in con-

went out Of the store after paying SO

The 1orgnettes' were iniaoduced from

only lately that there has been anything

there has been great exCltement over the
sale of tickets at the National theatre of
the Patti season of five nights in January.
The city had gone wild and the greatest
rush for seats continued for several days.
A man giving his name as Mayer, and
claiming to be brother of M. r. Mayer,
Abbey's partner, was ostensibly the agent
of Mr.. Abbey. The agent had letters to
some of the best people here. After selling
over $20,O 00 worth of tickets, he decamped,
and the public is left to mourn its loss
There was contaminated at the Planters
House in st. Louis the sale of q tract of
land in Mexico 1907 miles long and six
miles wide. John D. Miles, of Lawrence,
Kan, formly Indian agent for the Chey-
for syndicate, the composition of which
he would not divulge. The Rio Bravo Land
d Cattle company are the sellers. Tie
purchasers are five residents of this city and
three of Ell Paso, Texas. They acquired q
ninety mine years lease to q tract which
extends from point fifty miles from Paso
del Norte, on the Mexican side of the Rio
aliel with its course for 160 miles. The
price paid was something over $500, 200.
1t ia proposed to establish monster cattle
rancho on the tract
A test case has been decided in Washing
ton. The supreme court holds that per |
son brought within the jurisdiction of the |
court by virtue of proceedings under an
extraditon tresty, can only be tried for |
one of the offenses described in the treaty, |
and for the offense with which he is charged |
in the proceedings for his extradition until |
. reasonable time and opportunity have |
been given him after his release or trial |
under such charge to return to the country |
from whose asylum he had been forcibly /
taken under these proceedings. Chief JUS
tice Waite dissents from the opinion of the
court, on the ground that he does not find
anything in the treaty which forbids the
trial Of the prisoner for IN offence other |
than that for which he vas extradited.
