KANsLs CTY, Oct. 19.-The following
telegraphic correspondence in reference
to mooted paragraph in General
Miles annual report 10 self-explanatory :
KANSAS CRY. No.. Oct. 17.-Gen. Nell
eon A. Miles, United States Army, Fort
Sill, Ok, via Rush Springs, l. L. This
paragraph in your recent annual report
is being much quoted and commented
upon by the press and public:
''The conduct OF the troops in restor-
ing order and confidence when mob
violence and reign of terror existed in
Chicago, WAS marked by great forbear-
ance, fortitude and excellent discipline.
and their presence and action here very
greatly contributed to the maintenance
OF civil law, and, in my opinion, saved
this country from serious rebellion,
when one had been publicly declared to
exist by the one most responsible for
its existence"
1t has been said the one you refer to
is President Cleveland, and it has been
explained by your friends that you
probably meant Eugene V. Dsbs. Will
you please wire statement about the
matter to the Associated Press, Kansaa
City, Mo-, ior dissemination throughout
the country and thereby favor

to be misunderstood or lightly appre-

The Insurance Cnmpnutes Must Pay for
thu Los Aiamos Hotel.
SANTA BARBARA, Oct. 49, Special. J.
The case of ]. ID. Snyder vs. the Central
American Insurance company, to recover
indemnity for the loss of his hotel at Los
Alamos by fire, wac decided this evening
in the superior court. the jury bringing
in unanimous verdict in favor OF the
plaintiff, alter being out only eight
min utes. The trial lasted 81 days, and
was hard fought one. 1t was virtually
test case, 40 Snyder has brought suit
against seven other insurance companies
who refused to pay the amounts claimed
by him for the loss of his hotel. The
hotel wac burned two years ago, and
when Snyder presented his claims to
companies with which tho property
had been insured, they not only
refused to pay, but compelled him to
stand trial on the charge of having
burned the hotel to secure tho insurance
on it. After & fair and searching trial
on this charge he was acquitted as there
was nothing to establish his guilt. The
companies still refused to settle the OBJ
legations. and Snyder at last brought
suit, and after bitter fight won his
case.
The insurance amounts to $4,000.
The other companies interested are the
German American Insurance company,
the Patriotic Insurance company Of Ire
land, the Imperial of England, the
Northwestern Insurance company of
Milwaukee and the Sun OF California.

one strong jerk and Wonigkelt's partner

of the spectators ON the floor had de-
pressed the floor sufficiently to cause the

the end of the rope beneath was not
enough to draw the pin that would let
the door drop.

manifestation of it.

TRIED IN SECRET.
Vienna Anarchists in
Court.
WOULD DESTROY SOCIETY.
Violence Not Aimed at Any
Particular Persons.
ONE WHO COULD MAKE BOMBS
Nevertheless He Claimed That He
Did Not Construct Them for
His Own Use.

VIENNA. Feb. ia sensational trial
began In secret here to-day. 1t is that of
twelve anarchists arrested last September
for distributing incendiary literature and
plotting against the life of the Emperor,
Francis Joseph. Concealed in the fur
nlture in the lodgings Of the leaders, in
the most ingenious way. the police found a
complete printing outfit. large quantity
of anarchistic literature and regular bat
terry of bombs ready TO be charged, with
chemicals for charging them, together with
coats with hooks on the inside to hang
bombs on and regular armoTy of weap-
ons and ammunition. The literature
seized showed the men to be in communi-
cation with anarchists in America aud fol-
lowers OF Herr Most.
Testimony of the most sensational char
acter is expected to be brought out at the
trial, and. though it is secret. the Asso-
ciated Press has made ARRANGEMENTS
which, it is expected, will enable it TO give
a substantial report Of the proceedings.
Haspel was the first OF the accused ex-
amiDed and he confessed TO being guilty on
the charge of employing a secret press
and admitted that he was an anarchist.
Haspel said that it was the desire of an
archsts to attain their ends by the en-
pIoymeut of force. The prisoner procured
a secret press because he wanted to fur
nish workmen with suitable newspapers.
At this stage of the proceedings the jury
Inspected the couch i'll which the secret
printing-rress had been concealed. When
the examination was resumed Haspel de-
MED knowledge of the manufacture of ex-
plosives. He emphaticaliy denied that he
had lectured upon the manufacture of
bombs. Haspel explained that the propa-
ganda was of physical force to be en-
ployed, not against individuals, but
against the whole social fabric. The
socialists demands for such political
privileges as the franchise only delayed
the consummation of the crusade.
The prosecutor asked if the ideal state
would be a republic or anarchistic, to
which Haspel replied that it was all the
same to him.
"Will there be laws ?' asked the prosa-
cutor.
Tine people will make ihem," Haspel
replied, "and there will not be any gov
erning powers"
Haspel admitted that he had prepared
anarchist manfestoes and had made the
leaden and tin bombs seized by the police.
He denied, however. that he intended to
use them. Counsel for the defense pointed
out that. contrary to the published reports,
no powerful explosives had been found at
the prisoners lodgings, and the machines
found were only small and rudely made
contrivances.
Martin Stikul, a carpenter. another of
the accused, admitted attending anarchist
meetings, but denied that he was aware of
the contents OF the anarchists manifesto.
The case was then adjourned until to-
morrow.

REFRESHING ANARCHY.
Asquith Not Inclined to Believe in
Expulsion.

PARIS, Feb. 19.-Gualois asserts that the
British Government has decided TO pro-
pose to the powers the passage of inter-
national legislation in regard to police
supervision. with view to suppressing
anarchy.
LONDON, Feb. 19.-In the Commons to-
day Secretary Asquith said the Govern
ment did not consider it necessary to ask
for powers to expel foreigners, similar to
those possessed by most European coun-
tries. but he thought International efforts
might be more fruitfully directed toward
an interchange of information and COM
bined detective and punitive action upon
the part OF the different nations of the
world than in the extension of powers for
expelling suspects.
As the jurymen were to-day visiting the
scene of the Bourdin explosion, a French
anarchist mounted the ratings near the
depot and shouted ''Vive PAnarchie!" and
proceeded to make fiery address to the
crowds which soon gathered. about him.
The police acted with great moderation.
and only ordered the anarchist 10 stop his

TROUBLES OF A BOSS.
MCKane Sentenced to Six Years
in Sing Sing.
1t Is Not Believed That a STAY of
Execution Will Be
Granted.

BROOKLYN. Feb. ia great crowd as
sem bled at the Courthouse this morning
in anticipation of the sentence of John Y.
McKane, the Gravesend political boss,
convicted of election frauds. An extra de-
tail of police was necessary TO keep order.
McKane came into court apparently the
least concerned man in the room and
laughed and cbatted with his lawyer.
When the court opened Mechanics attorne y
moved for a new trial and an arrest of
judgment. which were denied. He then
asked that the prisoners previous good
character be taken into consideration.
The court said 1t could see no circum-
stances to warrant the exercise of such dis
erection.
The lawyer then asked for a stay of
execution for twenty days to move a no.
tice for certificate of reason bic doubt.
The court suggested it could be done as
well after sentence.
McKane was then called up for sen tence.
Asked what he had to say, he declared he
was not guilty of doing or counseling any
body to do wrong. The Judge then sem
fenced him TO six years Imprisonment in
Sing Sing prison.
owing to the mildness of Judge Bart
lett charge the prosecution does not ex-
pect that certificate of reasonable doubt
will be signed, but the defense will 20
ahead with the matter and see what ii can
do for McKane. Deputy Attorney General
Shepard said tonight that he did not think
stay would be granted. Counsel for the
prosecution have consented to a stay until
Monday to give counsel for the defense an
opportunity to file an appeal from the
judgment of the court. and if they cannot
secure further stay the Sheriff will
remove the prisoner to Sing Sing.
McKane was taken back to Jail i'm.
mediately after being sentenceh.
