The Grand Jury on Anarchists.

The Cook county (Ill) grand jury re-
ported on the 5th to Judge Rogers. The
report says the number of dangerous an
archists has bAn greatly overestimated.
II reality there are less than one hundred
dangerous characters of anarchist tenden-
cies. The remainder are made up of igno-
rant men who implicitly yfoll ow the guidance
Of their leaders. The report says the police
are in possession of facts which cannot fail
to bring these leaders to the punishment
they justly deserve. The jury decides the
bomb-throwing was a premeditated con-
spiracy. and the leaders win be left in the
hands of the police. at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon Sam Fielden. Ralph Fischer, Geo.
Engel, Louis Lingg. Michael Schwab and
August Spies were taken before Judge Rogers
to plead to the charge OF murder. The
clerk read the indictment charging them
with the murder OF Officer Degan. Captain
Black entered a plea of not guilty on behalf

THE NEEDS OF CHARLESTON.
A Talk with Gen. 3. w. Crawford, Just
From the Ruined City.

Gen. 8. w. Crawford, of the United States
army, retired, who went to Charleston imme-
diately after the earthquake, arrived in Wash
tngton, with ex-Gov. Fairchild, of Wisconsin,
this morning. Gen. Crawford told a STAR
reporter to-day that the most pressing need in
Charleston just now is among the small property
holders, whose little homes have been destroyed
by the earthquake. These people are utterly
unable to repair their ruined dwellings unless
1t be by mortgaging or otherwise encumbering
the property to an extent that would in most
cases be a virtual transfer. Indeed, in many
cases even this is not possible, for reasons
that can be readily understood. The need OF
THIS class Is most urgent every day that

afflicted city. Winter is approaching, and

aided to make their dwellings habitable it is

Fairchild coinctded with Gen. Crawford in
this view OF the case, and hence the appeal
which the former made to the Grand Army of
the Republic, OF which he is commander-in-
chief.
Gen. Crawford said the engineers sent to
Charleston by the government had been of
great service to the afflicted people in deter
mining the extent Of the damage to buildings
engineers had induced over 500 families
to return to their homes. Gen. Crawford said
that the relief work was going on admirably.
Skilled Skilled mechanics and artisans were
that many negroes employed in the
phosphate beds about Charleston had
sent their wives and families into the city to
draw rations from the relief committees and
had stopped work themselves However, the
committee had thought it best not TO inqu
too closely into the necessities OF those apply
ing for relief, and unless the case was one OF
hagrant imposition no one was sent away
empty.handed..

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Sept 17.-Gladstones return is now
definitely fixed. He comes to give general sup
port to Parnell. So far the latter's measure
relates to evictions, Gladstone has expressed
anxiety that evictions be stayed during the
coming winter. l have reason to believe with
this view he will urge the government to ac-
cept some portion Of the measure, probably the
third clause. He will certainly reserve his
opinion respecting the permanent provisions
In the measure.
CONSERVATIVES AID FOR PARNELL.
The government is being pressed from several
conservative quarters to give way. Sir John
Erdley Wimot, for instance, a tory of the old
type, also an expert on Irish affairs, declares
that if nothing is done thousands OF families
must be thrown out Oh the cruel mercies OF the
coming winter. The probabilities, however are
against the government doing anything TO
meet Parnell, especially after the irritations
and conflicts of the last few weeks. There will
almost certainly be a liberal whip. The liberal
members are being hurried back to town TO
support the measure.
A STRONG FACT IN PARNELL'S FAVOR
is the fall in the prices of the Cork butter
market since 1881 from ITO shillings to 81 in
1886, representing a still further loss to the
peasant, because he does not get the full
market price. l understand that obstruction
will not be continued after this week. The
ground will be cleared on Monday for the dis
cuSSiOn of Parnell's bill,

Gen. Newton.s Successor.

COL. DOMAINE THE MAN-RETIREMENT OF COL.
sTEWART-COL. BLUNT TO BE RETIRED IN
JANUARY.
Col. Charles s. Stewart, corps of engineers
was yesterday afternoon by direction of the
President placed upon the retired list of the
army, at his own request, having served more
than forty years. He was the senior officer of
the engineer corps when Gen. Newton was re-
tired, but his poor health, resulting in request
for retirement, placed him even then out Of
the race for promotion to chief OF engineers.
Col. Charles +. Blunt was next in rank to Col.
Stewart, but the fact that he retires for age
next January rendered him practically ineligi-
Die Ior the promotion. 1t Is now learned that
Col. Blunt, in anticipation of mis- retirement,
has asked tor leave of absence until that date,
and his request has been granted by Gen.
Drum, who is acting Secretary of War. Col.
Blunt may be considered, therefore, as a re-
tired officer, leaving Col. JAS. c. Donane as the
senior officer OF the engineer corps: This fact,
together with his exceptionally brilliant record
as an engine er officer, and his acknowledged
ability as an executive officer, makes him by
far the most likely successor TO Gen. Newton,
as was predicted In THE STAR at the time OF
Gen. NewtOns retirement before either Col.
Stewart or Col. Blunt were retired.

: THE AUSTRIAN MISSION.
Manning Will Probably Re.
ceive the Appointment.
AUSTRIA WILL GIVE HIM CORDIAL RECEP-
TIoN-AN AUSTRIAN FREE TRADER TO Sue
CEED MINISTER sCHAEFFER.

CEED MINISTER sCHAEFFER.
1t is reported that Secretary Manning will 60
as minister to Austria instead of returning to
the Treasury department. He has not fully
recovered from his recent illness, and it is
feared that to again undertake the duties of the
Treasury department would be more than he
could stand. 1t is thought that sojourn in
Austria would be very beneficial to his health,
particularly as he would spend most of his time
ut Hall or Franzenspad, the famous health
resorts, which are frequently visited by the
crowned heads of Europe with benefit.
Mr. Mannlng's physician, it is said, thinks he
would recover his health quicker there than
anywhere else, and the President has decided
10 make the appointment. A hint as to the
appointment is said to have been made to
Austria and 1t was received with great favor.
Mr.. Manning is sure to be received with high
distinction. both socially and officially, and the
Austrian government will be highly pleased
with the appointment Pains would be taken
to make up, by attentions to him, for the rejec-
tion OF Mr.. Kelley.
Minister Schaeffer has retired from diplo-
matte service, but his successor will be APP
pointed as soon as the appointment of the
American minister is announced. It Is not yet
known who 1t will be, but some official promi-
nent as free trader will be sent to this
country.
