Anarchists Growing Bold.

Chicago, Nov. 11.-To an audience of 2OO0 sympathizers in the West Twelfth Street Turner hall Herr Most and Lucy Parsons tonight recalled the Haymarket riots, eulogizing the dead anarchists and denouncing the police. Their language was kept from being too infiammable, however by the presence of 200 blue coats under the command of Inspector Shea, who occupied prominent place on the speakers platform. Mrs. Parsons was the first speaker and she renewed in- cidents connected with the Haymarket massacre. Only once did she approach the danger line when she said: I would rather be consigned to the bottomless pits of hell than walk the golden streets of Heaven with Judge Gary"
 Inspector Shea commanded her to cease uttering such language.
 When Herr Most arose he was greeted with great applause. He said he had been instructed not to mention any names. He def1ed Inspector Shea, saying this was free country The inspector warned the visiting anarchist to be care full. The remainder of Most's speech was in German and although it at times bor- dered on the sensational the inspector did not interfere. The speech was a repeti- ton in the main of what Most has re- Deatedly delivered.

PROVIDED WITH FALSE KEYS
KNEW WHEREOF THEY SPOKE

Purvis, Miss, Nov. 1.-The jail at this mob and Will Purvis, the now thoroughly celebrated White Gap, was released. About midnight crowd of 100 or more men, armed with Winchesters, rode bold ly into town and surrounded the court house and jail. A number of guards were on duty. They were covered by guns and threatened with death if they gave an bay by portion of the mob others broke in the heavy doors and unlocked the cell in which Purvis was confined with keys previously provided. How they got them is not known. Purvis was rushed out and into buggy that was in readiness and was whirled away out of town at a gallop. The mob r ! lained behind to pre- vent any one following for two hours, when they rode rapidly away.
 Will Purvis, it will be remembered, is for the second time under death sentence. A year or more ago he was sentenced to hang for the murder of White Cap who had squealed on the gang and mounted the scaffold to pay the death penalty be- fore thousands of people. The trap was sprung and Purvis fell heavily to the ground unharmed, the rope having come untied.
 On Monday last the supreme court sentenced him to hang again on the 12th of December, but his friends and neigh bors and those who witnessed the former attempt to execute him have declared he should never die on the gallows. The hope is freely expressed here that he will never be recaptured.

Conflicting Opinions.

Berlin, Nov. 1.-The Tageblatt, com- menting on Lord Salisbury's speech at the lord mayors banquet Saturday even- ing, says:
 Lord Salisbury's conception of the sit- uation Is satisfactory, but the fact re- mains that for long time to come na- tions desiring peace must keep in readi- ness for war"
 The Duetsche Tarte says the speech con- tains many pacifying elements which ought to assist in quieting the existing fears of war.
 The Vossischezeitung suays Lord Salisbury's speech Is free from optimism, but is calculated to raise the deep sunken hopes of peaceful solution of the confu- sion in the east.''
 The National Zeitung says: without any attempt at deception in regard to the dangers of the position, the speech still has pacifying effect"
 The Kreus Sertung says: We are glad to hear a reliable expression of the so- lidarity of the powers"

He said the only way for the negroes to become great in those things that would lift them to a higher plane of living was to demonstrate 50 the people of the world that they were capable of appreciating and living up to the highest standard of life. They were just as eager to learn, he knew, as any race, and if they only had the opportu- nifty that many other races had the ne gro would soon be in the foremost ranks of civilization.

The exposition meant just as much for the negro as it did for the white men, and 1t was the duty of the eolored man to do all in his power to add to the success of the show.
