him. The witness said he then re-
turned TO the wagon with bchnaubelt.
He did not see Schwab, as Schnaubelt
said he had gone TO Deering TO adj
dress meeting there.
Ques.-Did you go into the alley
with SchnaubeltP the witness was
aeked.
Ans.-No, sir.
The witness stated that Schnaubelt
could rot speak English and he could
not have conversation with him ia
that language. Spies said he made an
ordinary speech at the hay market.
He said he told the meeting that the
masses were being degraded. He then
saw Partons, and the latter began his
spt ech. He remembered unimportant
portions OF Parsons's speech, but
could not remember what Fielden
said. He said he remained on the
wagon during all the speaking. He
saw the police on Randolph street
aud heard Capt. Ward give the order
TO dispense. He taid he was helped
off the wagon by his brother Henry
and another man. When he had
reached the sidewalk he heard deto-
nation, "and l thought" eaid the wit
nefs, "that the pc ice were firing a
cannon to Tighten the peop'e." He
SAID he went to Zspf's Hall when the
firing began. "Did you light the
bomb ?" the witness YVES asked
Spies smiled, showed his teeth and re-
p led, 81 never did," He said be did
net see Schnsubelt in the alley, aud
denied Gilmer's story. He said that
the interview which Mr.. Wilkinson,
the report r, had with him last Jsnu'
airy, was substantially true.
Spies said he had had two dynamite
shells in his Office for three years
They were Given to him by man who
sailed for New Zealand. He told the
reporter in January, as printed, that
there were 5000 armed socialists iu
Chicago, and ce'cibsd to him how
the police and soldiers could be fought
He had told the report ter, as stated on
the trial, that dynamite was a child o.
the future and would prove great
leveler.
Spies then made what the prosecu
ton clsim is fatal admission, fully
corroborsting their claim that tht
srmed section had secret caucus anC
had pr repaired for an attack on the po
lice. Spies said he wrote the wore
"Rube" which appeared in the Arbtitel
Zeitung on May 4th. He eaid the nigh

"Mr. Editor-Plea9e insert in today't

He said be did no! know it ha6 any
import, but the next day Bil hszul

section to have the word as sign o
warning that they should keep theil
powder dry for use against the police
Ho told Rau that that was foolish, snC
asked Fischer to inform the armed
section that it was m AXE. Spies
then described his arrest by the pc
he. He declared that the supein
tendent of pc ice called him "Dutcf
hound" and "whelp," and made Rr
sit OK en- him. Spies said he KEEP

Twenty-thres passenger coaches
were chartered to the Socialist Pub
fishing Company yesterday morning
nv the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern railway. Into these men,
women and children were packed like
henings. The party was bound for
Sheffield, Ind, and the proceeds OF
the enterprise were to 90 toward de.
frsying the costs of defending the an
a'chists now on trial. At9oclock the
train pulled ont, followed later in the
day by struggling crowds on the out
bound accommodation trains. A rough
approach places the number OF the
crowd at the picnic at between 5000
and 5000. Beer flowed freely and
there was more or less disorder but
not of serious charsc'er. About 5
o'clock 10 the afternoon DR.. Rsntst
Schmidt mounted a platform ard adj
dressed the picniCers. His subjec.
was the anarchist trials. DR.. Schmidt
called upon bis hearers to stand by
the doctrine Of socialism and transmit
it to their children. The men on
trial, he said, were self constituted
martyrs who should be upheld and
encouraged. He had 60 d6ubt that

While speaking someone cried out in
an unknown language, and 800 or 400
men detached themselves from the
meeting and made an attack on Nc
Cormick's."
Spies said he kept on speaking for a
short time, when he too went toward
the factory. He said he saw some
people beside some railroad cars, and
others running while the police were
firing at them, The sight OF this,
said SpioP, "made my blood boil"
The witness declared that while he
was standing there = young Irishman

circular closing with "workingmen,

fessor of English Literature, Trinity
College, Toronto, and correspondent
of the Toronto Mail, stops of for
next steamer. Mr.. Parker will do
the city in the meantime, and Homo
lulu may expect first-class write
up in the "queen city" of the Cana
dians. Conspicuous among the
departures from our shores was
Capt. w. f. O'Connor, formerly of
the Queens Own. A detachment
of that body which has been raised
by Capt. O'Connor's energetic in
structions to very high point of
efficiency, marched down to the
wharf, drew up in line in front of
the captain, when Lieutenants
Kaneakua and Keola stepped for
ward and presented their former
commander and instructor with
splendid cane of cocoanut wood, with
gold mounting, inscribed, "Pre-
scented to Capt. w. +. O'Connor, by
the Queens Own Volunteers, II. L.,
April, 1886" Capt. OConnor ac-
knowledged the presentation in
suitable terms, and the company,
giving him three rousing cheers,
withdrew. A large number of peo-
pie were at the dock to give their
alohas to departing friends. Mr..
VIM. Noble, whose five weeks visit
made large addition to his list of
friends, received many good wishes
for a pleasant voyage, successful
Australian campaign and safe re-
turn. The genial 7. f. Wall, of Yose-
mite skating rink fame, received
many hearty handshakings from his
numerous friends. At about half
past twelve, the whistle of the
steamer gave the first screech, warn
ing visitors that it was time to get
away home. The second and third
screeches followed in due course,
and the Mararoa moved off from the
dock, carrying with her many pleas
ant memories of Hawaii, and leaving
behind equally pleasant recollections
in the minds of citizens of many
hours ofagreeable social intercourse,
with those who had come and gone.

the MARAR0A---ARRlvAL AND DEPAR-

The arrival and departure of the
Mararoa, Saturday evening, was an
occasion of more than usual interest.
Among the arrivals were the long
looked for Campobello troupe, to-
gether with several persons of note,
from the leading cities of the United
States and Canada. The steamer
had a large list of passengers in
transit. During the nine hours she
lay at the dock, the passengers made
the best of their short visit, taking
in the city, of which there is happily
enough left in good presentable con-
dition to occupy the attention of
travellers for more than one after
noon. Among those who spent the
evening on shore, was DR.. Kirkwood,
of Pictou, n. S., Canada. The doc.
tor and several of the residents Of
the city were mutually astonished
