WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.-In the Senate
to-day Stanford addressed the Senate in
advocacy of his bill to issue Sl0O, zoo, 900 in
national bank notes and loan it on farm
lands.
Mitchell asked Stanford whether under
the proposed bill any large corporation
that was large owner of land Qand
grant railroads, for example) could not
borrow to half the assessed value of their
lands. Stanford replied in the affirma-
tive.
Morrill, inquired whether there was to
be more than one place in each State
where money was to be loaned by the Gov
eminent. Stanford said the idea was to
have an agency of the Land Bureau in
every large city and town of State.

very large expense, and Stanford replied
that agencies would not be necessary in
the States.

Dies MONIES, Jan. 2l.-In the Senate

CHICAGO ANARCHISTS.
Their Cases Argued Before the United
States supreme Court.

states supreme court.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.-The cases of
Samuel Fielden and Michael Schwab,
Chicago anarchists, convicted of com
plicity in the famous Haymarket riots
and now confined in the Joliet Peniten-
tiary under a life sentence, came up in
the United States Supreme Court to-day
for argument. Solomon, for the pris-
oners, maintained that the men, not hay
ing been present when the State Supreme
Court pronounced the sentence of death,
it was deprival to them of the due pro-
cess of law and contrary to the provisions
of the Constitution of the United States
The Chief Justice suggested that the
State Supreme Court merely fixed the
time for execution.
Solomon asserted that the court did
more by reciting that persons were pres
ent. He then affirmed that there is no
authority by which a Governor could
direct the enforcement Of his commute
ton of sentence.
Attorney General Hunt OF Illinois fol-
lowed Solomon in behalf OF the State. He
maintained that the United States Su-
preme Court had no jurisdiction TO pass
upon the action Of the Supreme Court of
Illinois. The only alleged error on the
part OF that court was refusal to amend
its record and show that tielden and
ccnWaD were not bodily present when
judgment was rendered. This court had
jurisdiction to review State courts of final
resort only when federal question was
involved. No federal question was in
volved here.
Moreover, the Illinois Supreme Courts
Judgment on the motion was not con-
demnation of the parties, but simply a
refusal to Interfere with its own record.
II was not until the next term of the
court that the men filed objection, and he
asked when the litigation would end Il
counsel could come in at any time and
allege errors in the record. There is in
this case a suggestion that the two men
are subjects of Great Britain and Ger
many. Attorney-Gene Hunt said he
was unable to find anything in the
treaties by which the case could be af-
fected. A foreigner stood on no better
ground than an American citizen.
General Butler said when rights guar
anteed by treaty to foreigner are
brought into question. he is entitled to
adjudication through the courts of the
United States, and therefore that a federal
question will come up in the records.
Hunt said the claim that Schwab's i'm
prisonment under communication by the
Governor was illegal was novel and
amusing.
General Butler will make the closing
argument tomorrow.
