 NEW YORK, May 1.-The Arcade railway bill was signed by Governor Hill to day and he has done the extraordinary and almost unprecedented thing of capping it with 8 two-column message justifying his approval. 1t authorizes the construction of broad gauge four-track road under Broadway, two tracks for accommodation trains and two for express running at forty miles an hour and propelled by electricity. The time is extend ed sufficiently to enable the road to be fin ished. The route is from the Battery up Broadway over Washington Heights to liar lem, with branch at Madison Square, up Madison avenue to Westchester county. Among the directors are L. P. Morton, o. N. Bliss, Henry Sanford of the Adams Express company, ex-Secretary Windom, E. s. Mills, two of the sons of H. B. Claflin and five presidents of New York banks and they are said to be worth in the aggregate $75, ,000, ,000 The road is expected to cost $4, ,600; 900 mile and to keep five thousand men employed for five years. The principal projector and president is Melville c. Smith, who has persisted in his efforts for twenty years and has been undeterred by the votes of Governors Hoffman, Cleveland and Qast year) Hill. The latter has secured provision that three per cent. of the earnings shall go to the city. Had not Smith possessed un- ainching pluck and unfagging energy the Arcade scheme would have been dead ten years ago after having suffered loss, denun- citation and ridicule during ten years of fail ure.
 The Arcade road expects to send out its trains every two minutes, to run trains from tracks to the Battery delivering passengers and returning taking up passengers at their homes and probably to run freight trains under the island at night. The projectors do not contemplate a tunnel road or anything like it, but a road that shall be light and amply ventilated under an iron roadway. The company is also com pelled to reimburse citizens for all damages to property and to construct the road with out obstructing travel by means of portable bridge. The pipe galleries under the tracks will be spacious enough to accommodate all the sewer, gas and water mains, telegraph wires, etc, and workmen can walk the whole length of these galleries to repair or adjust these at any time. The road below is to be so broad that it is believed that Broadway will become virtually a two story avenue with stores above and below. The elevated road people are understood not to be hostile to the new project. Their erial vehicles have reached their maximum usefulness, being overcrowded during business hours and some outlet is imperative. No other city in the world so needs an express railway it's en- tire length, for none other is so long and narrow. The completion of the road is promised in four years.
 THE ANARCHISTS AT CHICAGO. Plenty of Evidence to Convict the
 Leading Conspfrators.
 CHICAGO, May 1.-The police are devot- ing their energies to procuring evidence against the Anarchists. and it is claimed on the trial of the conspirators the evidence will be ample for conviction of murder against August Spiess, Schwab, Parsons and Fischer.
 'tI hope Parsons, the Anarchist, will be cap tured," said Rev. Dr. H. w. Thomas last evening :'His crowd when they threw that bomb not only committed murder, but struck blow at the peace of the whole coun- try. About year ago our club on the west side, composed of many wealthy and influential gentlemen, invited Spies, Parsons and Schwab to conference. They were ln- vited by card, and precautions were taken that nothing of the affair should get into the newspapers. They came, and we argued the question fully with them. They were we'll posted and at times made very violent asser- tions. Spies said that Anarchist was very different from Irish dynamiter. He laughed as he described the attempt made on the British House of Parliament. He said that if the assailants had known their busl- ness they would have placed better bombs there; but not that alone, they would have placed them where the hall was crowded with people. We have nothing personal against you,' he said, referring to the gen tlemen present, but we want your property. We do not believe in the destruction of prop erty as a means of reform, but in the de- struction of life We need the property believe Parsons to be the worst one of the lot. I believe he ought to be hanged" Dr. Thomas and other members of his club will very likely be subpenaed by the State attor- ney in the prosecution of the Socialists now in prison. The utterances of Schwah, Spies and Parsons upon the occasion referred to will, it is thought, establish reconciliation.
 Bishop Fabre Against the Knights.
 MONTREAL, May 1.-The workmen be- longing to the Knights of Labor in the Thom- son cabinet factory struck to-day for an ad- vance of three dollars week, and demanded that the foreman, who is opposed to their or: der, be discharged. The manager refused both demands, and discharged every member of the order from the establishment.
