It has been decided to alter the plans
of tho GnrJIcld monument at Cleve-
land 0 and make It ICO feet In height
instead of 225 as originally designed.
Tho architect came to the conclusion
that the tower would ho too high if ex-
pended 225 feet. Tho height now pro-
posed will bo sufficient to glvo a com-
manding view of tho country for miles
uround and when completed the mon-
ument will ho plainly visible from any
portion of tho city. The chango will
riToct n saving of $20000. This will bo
expended on tho interior and in pur-
chasing lino statuary to bo placed on
nnd about tho tower.
ItccKKT reports from tho Lazaretto
at Tracadie.Ncw Ilrunsvvlck state that

patients nine males and twclvo females.
Thirteen of theso are In tho early stnges

ceptions of late suflerlngs of patients
liavo not been as great as In the past.
To tho Indefatigable efforts of Dr. Smith
In chargo of tho Lazaretto who has
mado a lifo study of tho disease is thu
radical chango no doubt due.

O'Connor of New York said the clause
had been misconceived. The section hid
nothing lo do with the tariff question hi tliU

practically no opposition. The scene ol
enthusiasm that ensued surpassed any that

seemed that tho excitement was never to

Ciiicaoo. Aug. 20. It was known lato
last nlcht that a verdict In the affarclrtit
cases had been retched and the brief time
In vllsh the jury were out led to the con-
clusion that It was not favorable
to the defendants. At ten o'clock last
evening their libers had been completed.
Atntsolfi thn afternoon they had retired
and thus tfrlthlri seven hours they had vlf
thally Concluded" that tlld tivldentt was
sutTIclent tb convldt all btit 6rjJ itl
the men of murder In tho first degree
tho penally for which according to the
laws ot Illinois Is death.
Asearlr as six o'clock a swarm of peo-
ple (began gathering about Judge Gary's
court room. Only ' Janitors had srlserf
and they were sleep .- sweeping up ihe
rooms nnd corridors ot the masslvo build-
ing In which a few hoars later seven ot
the greatest criminals ever brought before
a bar of Justice were to hear their doom.
Within tbe court room the Judges
and attorneys wrra In secrot consulta
tion ana it was arciuea not to
admit moro than one hundred persons In
addition lo the privileged characters Sev-
en! relatives ot the accused who sought
their former seats were directed to places
behind the line of police. Mrs. Parsons
was given a scat In the rear of the room bo-
tweentwo polico officers.
When Ihe jury entered at 9iS0 o'clock
escorted by a rioted bailiffs the judge had
not j el arrived.
At tJt5 he tcaeHvd the court room lly
this lime tho coott room trM
fairly crowded. The court enjoined
abroiute silence when the Jury had taken
seats in tlio box Then the foreman handed
In the following verdict)
'Wt ;'.io Jury find tho defendants Ailtf'
list Soles. Michael Schwab. Samuel Flelderfi
A. It Parsons Adolph Fischer Qeurge
Enrcel and Louis Ltngg guilty ot murder
and conspiracy as charged In the Indict-
ment and fix the penalty at death. We
also find Oscar Nee to guilty ot murder
In the manner charged In the Indictment
and sentencn him lo fifteen years In the
penitentiary."
At the request nt Captain Black of the
counsel for the defease the Jury was polled
each man answering In a firm voice. Tht
Judge then thanked the jury for their pa-
tience and discharged them. Captain Black
said he desired to inovo for a new trial. On
request of State's Attorney Grlnnell Iho
motion was continued to theSentenibet
term.
When Hie verdict was pronounced a few
rlsi were heard from tho rear ot the
co J t room. Somebody said Mrs. Parsons
imd fainted. Strong men wiped llieir eyes
when Iho limp body of the nneonscldus
woman was cat r led Into an adjoining room.
Llngg seemed unprepared for the verdict.
Ilo chauged color. Tears streamed out i -ora
his eyes and lie seemed completely broken
down. Parsons Fielden and the Spies
brothers bore up bravely under the) feaiful
burden of the verdict.
The motion for a new trial It Is expect-
ed will bo heard early next month if
overruled Judge Gary will pronounco sen-
tence and fix the date for Ihe carrying out
of the dcatli penalty. The casontil then
go to the Supicme Court for a review. It
Is Iho generally expressed view of lawyers
that the Supreme Court will not Interfere
It Judgo Gary rcfues a new trial as the
court II Is contended ruled with great lib-
erality toward thu defendants' counsel and
rod to the Jury nearly every Instruction
asked for on behalf of the defendants.
As tlio condemned mm wero being led
back to the Jail through the elevated iron
passagu way Fielden required support;
Llmrg and En;el wai Iced firmly and showed
little emotion; Spies and Fischer looked
palo but retained their slrenclh and
bch frab- tottered behind Parsons but It nas
on Neebe that the blow fell heaviest. Ha
had been confident ot acquittal. While
seated In the balllfTi office last nlcht he
was asked by Bailiff Sulden: "What will
jou take right now as a compromise sen-
tence?' "Not one hour" stoutly declared
he. As ho entered Ihe jail on the march
from the court ha looked like a corpse
bis haggard countenance speaking unutter-
able woe.
The court room was quickly emptied
the crowds pouring out to Join the cheering
throngs In the street.
IIISTOltr op tub Tm.u.
The trial of tho eight anarchists who were
lo-day ronvlrtcjt and with one exception
senteneed to be hanged has been In pro-
gress fifty-six dsyt of which about three
weeks was occupied In the empaneling of a
Jury. The evidence was closed on Ihe
liftv-sccoml day after the caso had been
called. The defendants wero alleeed to
havu been the plotters ot and active par-
ticipants In the llaytnarket riots at Chlcacn
ot May 4 the thrnvvliiK ot a bomb at which
resulted lu the killing ot seven police offi-
cers and the maiming ot a number
of others. They were all charged with
murder. Atthouiih It was not alleged that
all were guilty ot the actot throwing the
latal bomb they were all believed to ba
equally guilty on Hie ground of having
conspired with each other to do the act
which resulted In the slaughter ot the
pollen officers. The Judgo held the law
was that if the defendants wero parties to
an anarchist conspiracy they were all
alike guilty ot minder although Ihe date
of the consplraey itilaht not bo fixed. The
particular crime ot which the defendants
have been found guilty was the murder ot
Officer M J. Dejan; and the theory of the
prosecution was that at a meeting
held at Grcll'a Hall on May 3 as well as
at other limes the defendants participated
In a determination that In tho event ot a
collision between the police and the strikers
certain organizations should meet at certain
places; that committees should be appointed
to attend tbe places where attack by the
pollcu might be expected and report attacks
to tho armed sections; that such attacka
might be resisted and polico stations aud
and other public works lies t roved and that
the act causing the death ot Dcgan namely
Iho throwing of the bomb was the result In
which all ot defendants alike participated.

A CROW SETTLEMENT.
The Crow Indians Taking Up Allotments
anil Itecotnlng flood Cltlsens.
Wasihwotos Aug. 21. During tho last
two and n half years a remaikablo move-
ment has been going on among tho Crow
Indians In Montana south of Ihe Yellow-
stone. So long as buffalo lasted their
primitive occupations and ambitions were
unmodified but In the spring of 183
Ihe location of Iho agency was changed
and they began to inovo on to the
arable lauds In the valleys of the
Lir.lo ami Big Horn rivers to cultivate
smill patches ot land and put up rude
house. A recent report from Agent
Williamson of the Indian ofllco states that
between S00 mid 330 families are now lo-
cated on desirable lauds which they wish
to Invo allotted them that they may enjoy
Ihe advantago ot possessing genuine lioniu-
steads. This allotment was promised them
In their agreement or 1680 and tho last
cession of Congress appropriated S2.000 for
earning nut the provisions ot the agree-
ment Messrs. John G. Walker of Wash-
ington and It. S. Saunders of New York
city have Just been commissioned to visit
tlio Crow reserve and make
the allotments and they will start
west for that purpose In a few days. It Is
expected that Ihey will ba ablu to place
every family of the tribe un Individual al-
lotments and that soon after their lands
may bo r itented them as further provided
In the agreement. Heads ot families are
to receive one-quarter and others one-eighth
section ot arable land and equal amount of
grazing land lu addition. Tlio Importance
nt tills step to tho Crow tribe can not ha
overestimated. It places Hiem in Iho front
rank of Indian tribes who will soon bo ready

Euiiu.t h YM Aug. 21. News was re-

all the available funds drove to this city
al midnight and took a train for Canada
slnco which time his movements hail been
a mystery and his oldest daughter had
been shot by an Inssno man In ltuenos
Ay res July 11. Cook went Immediately
from Canada to South America and was
Joined at Buenos A) res last fall by his
family consisting of his wife and four lit-
tip girls the oldest thirteen. A jottng man
named Gluck from Indianapolis was an
Inmate ot tho family residence at Buenos

v ere standing In a doorway talking Gluck
walked out from another room where he
bad been writing and without Hie slightest
warning shot Cook killing him Instantly.
Then he turned to shoot Mrs. Cook when
the daughter Thankful who was up alalia

fcatfon of Unrstlonable I'raetleea orjta-
ht OftlrrM In flnpplrlng United Slate
Vesscb) iTHfl Stores nt Cap Town.
WASinxof Of Anff. 13. There is moro
tronblo jrrowlnjr oat ol tho ofllcial con-
duct of naval officers at Capo Town on
the ionthcast coastot Africa based upon
the reports of Consul Slier lo tho Btato
Department which reflected on I'ay-
master Thompson of tho United Stalest
matt-trf'tv f Lancaster and Captain Pot-
ter acting Admiral In command of tho
South Atlantic aqtradroir. Mr. A. C.
Stephens who arrived here yesterday dl-
roet. (mm Cano Town was before tho
NavT Department and corroborated tho
statement ot Consul Slier in his offkial
Communication to the 8tate Department.
Wf Stephens in his testimony dis-
closed Iho fact that a cnrlons cus-
tom had lona since prevailed at
Capo Town by the officers of tho Amort-
can mcn.ot.war when they put in there
for auppllca. Tho most serious charjre
however Is made against Paymaster
Thompson of the Lancaster. Last
January supplies were purchased and I
apbeafs there has been great rivalry bo
tneeu Hie f arluos ahlp-dianuicrs at i.apo
Town to secure the IfadVot tho ship aup:
plica from that point. Tl'l became ao
formidable that the officers of tho vessels
were soon eupposcd to bo Implicated In
the purchases and to be sharing n por-
tion of the profile realized by Iho person
lucky ctlotish to get the contracts. Mr.
Stephens' statement Is to tbe effect that
a broker Joseph Grady who never
owned a hundred dollars' worth of good
In his life was always given the con-
tracts In preference to large firms who
hnd nn tin ml thn fiiniln. and could famish
Ihcm much cheaper than could Grady or
any other broker who was compelled to
buy from the wholesale stores. Mr.
Stenhens further states that there wero
prices charged for articles three times
higher than they could b purchased for
from any of the wholesale stores. In
many cases thero were deficiencies la
weight. One Instance Is cited when
1050 pounds of Rio coffco TVas
named on the voncher as being 1.250.
The prlcu paid for Illo was eight cents
per pound when be says It could havo
been bought forfonr It not less. Another
Instance Is cited where 100 gallons of oil
was charged as 2t0 making n difference
of 8250 In favor of Grady. The state-
ment contains a hundred or more similar
Instances Which on his estimation mado
the lot of supplies cost as much as $8000
more than they wonld cost from any re-
sponsible dealer. In soma cases Grady
according to Stephens' statement
charged as hlh as 200 per cent mors
than thd market value of tho
articles. Mr. Stephens says these things
have been going on for the past Ave orsuc
ears by the officers of the Pensacola
Brooklyn and Essex Marine Enterprise
Junl&tn and Lancaster. The law pro-
vides that each vessel shall advertise for
bids before letting the contract but Mr.
Stephens says this was never done. His
claimed br tbe citizens of Cape Town
Hint the naval officers are rooomg tnc
Government nud this Mr. Slier thinks
Is also true by Grady dividing his enor-
mous profits with him.

bad ot the varioua aspects and results of
lnlcr-Slate competitive drills heretofore
heliV In various Stales and Itwas decided
that a Natloual drill at Washington In tbo
latter part ot next May would be the
most attractive and successful plan
which cou'.d bo adopted. It Is pro-
posed to give larger money prizes tor
all arms than ever bclore not leas
