An Opinion by WoIcott.

New YORK, June pa special from
Denver, Colo, says: In an interview on
the financial situation, Senator Wolcott
said: IF an extra session of congress
should be called today the Sherman law
would not be repealed. The ways are
dark enough to indicate that streak of
light must break in from some direction
soon. 1t means immediate disaster to
Western interests, but 1t may be
blessing in disguise If we can hold on.
Much as we suffer, the disaster entailed
to Great Britain is worse, and contin-
ued falling in the price of silver must
force an international agreement"

itentiary at Joiiet-Now in
Chicago.
Incidentally the Governor Gave the
Trial Judge a Rich Brown 7es
Roast.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, June 2S.-Gover-
nor Altgeld has pardoned Fieiden,
Schwab and Neebe, the E anarchists.
Practically ever since the bomb was ex-
ploded in Des PLANES street on the
night Of May 4, 1885, the three men
just pardoned have been in prison.
With the exception Of Parsons, who
gave himself up to death by returning
during the trial, all the men finally
convicted of conspiring were appre-
hended within short time after the
riot. The details of the trial are too
well remembered to demand recount
ing.
Altgeld's Statement.
Governor Altgeld's statement accom-
panying his pardon of the anarchists
contains $1,000 words. The governor
reviews the history of the Haymarket
meeting of May A, 1885, in detail and
says the basis of the appeal for pardon
was the petition signed by several
thousand merchants, bankers, Judges,
lawyers and other prominent citizens of
Chicago.
Speaking of the charge that the trial
judge was prejudiced the governor
says: cit is further charged with much
bitterness by those who speak for the
prisoners that the record of the case
shows that the judge conducted the
trial with
Malicious Ferocity;
that in examing the states witnesses
he confined counsel for the defense to
the specified points touched on by the
state, while in the cross examination of
the defendants witnesses he permitted
the states attorney to go into all man.
ner of subjects entirely foreign to the
matters on which the witnesses were
examined in chief, also that every rul-
ing throughout the long trial on any
contested point was in favor of the
state, and, further, that page after
page Of the manuscript contains
insinuating remarks of the judge
made in the hearing of the jury and
with the evident intention of bringing
the jury to his way of thinking"

FOUND THE CHINAMAN.

No Doubt Now About the Murder OF
Lee Chump at Brainerd.
BRAINERD. Mimi, June 28.-A boy
herding cattle found the body OF Lee
Chump, the missing Chinamant sup
posed to have been murdered here a
week ago. Lee Chump had evidently
been lured to the spot, a mile from the
city, across the river, and stabbed to
death, as there was cash in the back
and the knife thrust through the heart.
A farmer saw four Cinnamon 60 out to
the thicket on the day the murder took
place, and saw three return. Indigna-
ton runs high, but it is not thought
violence will take place, as the sheriff
has the prisoners well guarded. :

THE NEWS AT CHICAGO.
Pardon of the Anarchists Causes Pro-
found Surprise.

Pardon of the Anarchists Causes Pro-
found Surprise.
CHICAGO. June 28.-News that the
Chicago anarchists = Fielden, Neebe
and Schwab--had been pardoned by the
governor was received here during the
afternoon and caused profound sur
prise. Schwab has been looked upon
here as one of the most dangerous men
in the horrible conspiracy that led up
to the Haymarket massacre. Fielden
was always considerer q misguided, but
honest man and Neebe was looked upon
rs one of August Spies misguided tools.
1t would have caused no surprise here
to have pardoned Neebe, but the ex-
tending of executive clemency to
Schwab cannot be understood. The
governor, too, seems to have acted
without conference with or advice
from anybody of influence or authority.
The act is his alone and presumably he
is prepared to meet singly and alone the
sharp criticism and denunciation which
the deed is bound to bring down upon
his head.

ROBY PUGILISTS.
Maher Defeats Flood and Napier
Whips Burns.

RoBY, Ind, June 2S.-The second of
the social pugilistic entertainments Of
fered to the public by the Columbian
Athletic club was not interfered with
in any manner by the officials repre-
senting the majority of the law of the
state of Indiana. The attendance was
not of the volume expected. Peter
Maher of Ireland redeemed his lost
prestige in small degree by easily de-
feating Val Flood of Australia in four
rounds, the Australian lad never being
in the hunt. The big event of the
night was disposed of in almost as
rapid manner as the curtain raiser,
for it took eight pounds to place Mr.
Burns of Providence on the outside.
The affair was lively, however, and
gave the spectators run for their
money. Napier was too shifty for his
opponent and that tells the story.
