LONDON, June 27.-Rear Admiral
Markham's first m essage officially re-
porting the Victoria disaster arrived
at the Admiralty Office Thursday night,
but sleepy clerk at the office did not
think the dispatch OF sufficient import
ance to open it, and left it lying on the
desk until hundred of inquiries from
private individuals began to be receiv-
ed, when he awoke to the fact that the
unopened envelope might contain
something that would throw some light
on the subject.

Anarchists PardOncd.

Gov. Altgeld, of Illinois, yesterday
pardoned Samuel Fielden, Oscar Neebe
and Michael Schwab, the anarchists
convicted of murder in the riot in Chi
cago on Tuesday. May 4, 1856, in which
one policeman was instantly killed and
60 wounded, of whom seven subsc-
quently died of their wounds.
Ofthe eight persons convicted at the
trial August Spies, Adolph Fisher, Geo.
Engel and Albert r. Parsons were
hanged in Chicago Nov II, 1887. Louis
Lingg escaped hanging by committing
suicide in his cell the day before the cx-
ecution. The death sentences of Sam
uel Fielden and Michael Schwab were
committed by Gov. Oglesby to impris-
onment for life. The jury which fixed
death as the penalty of the others made
that of Neebe imprisonmentin the pcni-
Tertiary for Is years.
Gov. Altgeld's statement accompany
ing his pardon of the imprisoned an
archists contains 1900 words. His
reasons were:
First-That the jury which tried the
case was a packed jury, selected to con-
vict.
Second-That according to the law
as laid down by the Supreme Court,
both prior to and again since tie trial
of this case, the jurors, according to
their own answers, were not competent
Jurors and the trial was, therefore, not
a legal trial.
Third-That the defendants were not
proven to be be guilty of the crime charged in
the Indictment
Fourth-Thatast to the defendant Neebe the
States attorney had declared ut the close of
the evidence that there was no case against
him, and yet he had been kept i'll prison all
these years.
Fifth-That the trial Judge was either so
prejudiced against the defendants or else so
determined to win the applause of certain
class in the community that he could not and
did not grant fair trial.
The governor charges Judge Carey, who
presided at the trial, with malicious ferocity
without parallel in the rulings against the
prisoners and with making insinuating re-
marks from the bench with view to in
fluencing the jury. The governor declares
the trial was not fair, and he therefore par
dons the prisoners.
Governor Altgeld's action has created great
surprise and it will doubtless cause aprofound
sensation in Chicago.
Never before in the history of the northern
Illinois State penitentiary has there been
such sensation at the prison as took place at
Joliet H., yesterday afternoon, when the
pardons of the anarchists were handed to
Warden Allen. After all the formalities had
been complied with, the men were released,
aud left for their homes in Chicago.

Correspondence OF the Aie4anuIia osIet"e'J
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 81.
One effect of the action of the
government of India has been to renew
the demand for an early session of Con-
gress. and this view of the situation was
presented to Secretary Carlisle this
morning by many Of his congressional
callers and by numerous kilograms
from all sections of the country. Be-
fore going to cabinet Secretary Carlisle
received a cablegram from London an
nouncing further decline in the price
of silver to IS pence. At this price the
silver dollar is worth 5S4 cents. SEN
ator Dolph, of Oregon, who is the only
Pacific slope Senator in the city, said
this morning Il am opposed to my
colleague, as you know, on the subject
of free coinage, and am in favor OF
maintaining all the currency on par
with gold, but it seems to me this &C,
ton of the India government will
diminish instead of increase the pros
pect of passing repeal of the Sherman
law bv the Senate. l think the effect
will be to make thoughtful members of
Congress hesitate before they farther
depreciate the value of silver by sud
denly throwing upon the markets OF
the world the four million five hundred

TT HAS now been discovered that in
mates ofthe federal soldiers homes, who
are not only fed and clothed and housed
at those homes free of cost, but draw
full pensions besides, in consequence of
supposed disability, are perfectly able
to do manual labor. and do so at the
governments regular hours and wages.
The more the management of the al
fairs of the government is investigated,
the more apparent becomes the fact
that it is corrupt from root to branch,
and that it could be conducted at half
the present expense.

An International Complication.

New YORK, June 27.-Secretary
Gresham, the Italian consul in this city,
the sheriff, a coal dealer and creditor
of the coal dealer are indirectly con-
cerned in law suit for 5000 which has
led to a complication between this
country and Italy. The coal dealer
contracted to supply the Italian war
ship with coal, and deposited $1,000
with the Italian consul for the faithful
performance of his contract. A creditor
of the coal dealer brought suit to re-
cover his money and the court issued
the order. The consul refused to turn
over the money, claiming that the ac-
ton in granting the order was breach
of international courtesy. There is
much anxiety among those interested
as to what decision Secretary Gresham
will give.

THE INCREASING slump in silver
and the continued low price of grain
may, possibly, induce some farmers to
conceive the idea that the ability of the
owner of silver bullion to carry his
cheap stuff to the mint and have it
coined into dollars, which they would
have to take as pay for their wheat,
might not rebound to their especial
benefit. But that idea, it seems, has
not as yet entered the heads of some OF
the men they send to Congress; and
where unrestricted suffrage exists, rep
resentatives always fairly represent the
majority of their constituents.

Mr.. DAYTON, the new democratic
postmaster at New York, is reported as
saying 81 don't think President Cleve-
land appointed me postmaster of New
York in order to keep republicans in
Office" 1t is hoped that Mr.. Dayton
is right. But the people whose votes
were cast for Mr.. Cleveland wonder if
he thinks they elected him in order to
keep republicans in Office, especially
such offensive republicans as the ne
groes Smalls, Quincy, Lynch and Bruce.
When the republicans counted ma
jority in Congress they cried out Give
us another nigger!!n The democrats
now demand that the important and
responsible places the negroes referred
to- and other offensive republicans fill,
shall be given to white democrats.

IT is no uncommon thing now TO see
newspaper items to the effect that Con-
gressmen have appointed postmasters
in their respective districts. What
would an old time President have said
in respect of such items? The Consti-
tuition provides that Presidents shall
execute the laws and appoint the otli-
GERS, and that Congressman shall make
the former; and if there be any section
of that instrument that expresses or
implies the authority OF Congressman
to appoint postmasters or any other
officers. it has escaped the notice ofthe
most diligent searchers. Change, how
ever, is the order Of the day; but all
changes are not for the best.

IT APPEARS that the terrible Victoria
disaster was caused by a delay in the
execution of au order Of the admiral of
the fleet by the commander of the Cam
perdown. The best plans often result
disastrously from similar causes. But
for like delays the whole of McClellan's
army would have been captured in the
Peninsula, and the Confederates would
not have lost the battle of Gettysburg.

now be revived either by State or ma

and bounty jumpers, who never smelt
burnt powder, but who double the ex'
penditures on pension account.

CHANGES IN THE CAssARD.--Robert
NJ. Fryer, inventor of the new type OF
passenger steamer Howard Cassard,
took the steamer down the bay from
Baltimore yesterday as far as Sandy
Point to ascertain how much must be
taken from her propeller blades in order
to get the necessary number of turns
to reach the high speed the vessel is ex-
pected to make. The trial showed that
the wheel must be reduced on the sur
face, better pair of air pumps placed
in her. leaving the present pumps for
circulation, and also blower to furnish
forced draught for the boilers. Venti-
lators for the fire-room are also neces-
sary, and will be placed on the steamer.
The work of completing the Cassard
and the making Of the Improvement has
been placed under the direction Of Mr..
Fryer, who will have the changes made
as soon as possible.
