Court this morning dclivored on opinion
In tho Anarchist cases afllrmlng the judg-
ment of tho court below and fixing as tbo
tlmo for tho execution Novomber II bo
iwcon tbo hours ui ten a. m. and four p. m
At 0:30 Justlca Mogruder began tho an.
nounccmont of tbo decision In tho Anarchist
esse. Just before tho opening of covrt
every ono seemed to feel that somnlhhig
was going to hsppon. Uoforo tho hour tot
the convening of court lawyers and report-
ers scomod to havo that feeling and con.
versed with each other lu subdued tones.
Evou Darker tho janitor who has goied
upon evory Justice of the Buprcmo Court
that has sat upon tho bench in Ottawa tip-
toed around in oponlng and dusting tho
cour' ruuiu as If ho was afraid of breaking
the deathly stillness that pervaded tho en-
tire building. Deputy Smith faltered and
his voice trembled as ha pronounced the
"hoar yo." As tho Justices tiled In tho
court rocm headed by Chief Justice Shel-
don thoy appeared moro dignified than
over. Tbo Chief Justlco waved his asso-
ciates to tholr scats evon moro stately than
was his wont. Ills nod to tho sheriff was
moro stiff and his "open court" less audlbla
than on tho previous days of tho term.
Justlco Magrudcr appeared flushed and
nervous as ho eTitered tho court room tho
causo of which was evinced n few moments
later when Chief Justlco Sheldon turned
to him and In a volco which would havo
been inaudiblo save for tbo dead stillness
which pervaded tho room said;
"Justlco Magrudor haro you any an-1
nouncoment to makol"
Tho husbod annearanco of the Justice
changed to that of pallor and his voice was
husky im ho rcspondod t
"In tho caso of August Spies and othors
against tho pcoplo of tho State ot Illinois
No. &9 advisement docket."
Tbo Chief Justlca nervously turned tho
leaves of tho court dockot to tbo caso In
dicated when tho justlco read tho decision
of tho court In tho "Anarchist caso."
As ho read ho regained his composure.
Ills volco was cloar and distinct until tho
order fixing tho death penally and tbo dato
ot tho oxecutloo was roachod when bis
reading becamo labored his volco husky
and his manner showed that It was with
tho greatest emotion that he performed tho
duty bo had been delegated by his associ-
ates to porform.
Having road tho doctslon ot the. court In
tho most colcbrntod caso It has over boon
called upon to docldo tho justlco when
ho had mado tho announcement lotl tho
bench and retired to his room.
Tho opinion of Justlco Magrudor was as
follows:
"In this caso the Judgment of tho court
bolow Is affirmed as to all and as to oach
and every ono of tbo defendants. An opin-
ion has boon prepared setting forth tbo
reasons of ufllrmallon of judgment. Tha
opinion Is now banded to the clerk to be
filed."
Judge Sheldon announced that ho con-
curred In tho opinion.
Justlco Mulkoy said: "It Is not my In
tention to offer a separato opinion as I
should have done I desiro to avail myself
ot this occasion to say that while I concur
In the conclusions reached and also in tbo
general views as entered In the opinion
filed I do not wish to bo understood as
holding that tho record Is freo from error
for 1 do not think It Is. I am nevertheless
of tho opinion that nono of tho errors com-
plained of aro ot such serious character as
to require a reversal of judgment. In view
of the number of tbq defendants on trial
tbo great length ot tlmo consumed In tbo
trial the vast amount of testimony offered
and passed upon by tho court aud tbo al-
most numberless rulings tbo court was re-
quired to make tbo wonder to mo Is that
the errors wcro not moro numerous and of
a moro serious character than
they aro. Iu short having fully
cxamlnod tho record and given tho
questions arising on it my very best
thought with an oarnestand conscientious
doslro to faithfully dtschargo my whole
duty I am fully satisfied that tho opinion
reached vindicates the law and docs com-
ploto justlco between tho pooplo ot tho
Slate and tha defendants and ts fully war
ranted by tho law and ovldonce."
Cblet Justlco Sheldon then announced;
"In this caso tho court orders that tho sen-
tenco ot the Superior Court of Cook Coun-
ty of tho defendants la tho Indictment
August Bplcs Samuel Flelden R. Parsons.
Adolph Fischer Kngol and Louis Ling bo
carried Into effect by tho sheriff ot Cook
County on tho 11th dav of November cext
on Friday between tho hours of ten o'clock
In tho forenoon and four o'clock la tha af-
ternoon of that day."
Tho judgment of tho court was unani-
mous. Tho opinion was written byJudgo Ma-
grudor ot tho Chicago district and ts an
able exposition of tbolayvund tho previous
Interpretations thereof by omlncnl jurists

ing upon tho alleged and perhaps real
errors In this record. In his work ho
was ably helped by each ot tho othor six
distinguished judges who made him tholr
spokesman and through htm expressed
their unanimous decision. Tho opinion
covers 223 pages of closely-written manu-
script and contains about 30000 words.

Annual Iteport nt the Commissioner
Pensions.
Washixotox Sept. 10. Oencrat J. C
Black Commissioner ot Pensions in his an-
nual report to tho Socretory of tho Interior
states that during tho pastquarterof a cen-
tury tho Ilurcau of Pensions bas dovcloped
from an Inconsiderable ofllco to ono wnosa
C.icnUgo is unsurpassed in numbers
hoso disbursements aro very great end
whose operations aro extended Into almost
every county township and district In tho
United states ana that mis oeveiopmcni
has rendered necessary great nod radical
changes and a reorganization of tbo meth
ods of tho bureau. Tho suggestions of the
Commissioner are Important and are as fol
lows!
First Tbo allowance of two dollars per
month to minor children entitled to pen-
sions Is inadequate for their support and
should bo increased to flvo dollars per month.
Second That tho act of Juno 10 18f0 be
so amended as to permit tho act to bo ex-
tended to thoso who subsequent to tho
ditto ot its approval from aggravation of
their malady may have becomo helpless.
Third That tho existing law that a
widow's pension certificate can only bear
dato from tbo day on which sho riles her
application should bo amended so as to
allow tho commencement of pension to dato
from the death of her husband tbo other
consideration required by tho law being
present.
Fourth That section 4718 of tho revised
statutes bo so amended as to prohibit tho
payment of moro than ono pensto. to the
samo person.
Fifth That tho law rcauirlng a pension
to bo graded according to the rank ot the
claimant at tha time the Injury was re-
ceived should bo am ended so that tbo rank
subsequently acquired bona lido may ba
considered by tho Commissioner lu deter-
mining tho amount of pension to bo al-
lowed. Sixth That tho present rato for deaf-
ness should ba Increased by law to 130 per
month for total deafness with Intermediate
grades to bo determined according to the
degroo of disability.
Seventh That discretion should bo
lodged In tho Commissioner In correcting
discrepancies In rates of pension for loss ot
limbs or Congress should be asked to es-
tablish a tablo of rates for loss of limbs in
making this suggestion tho Commissioner
says: "Tho existing laws upon this point
aro Inharmonious and are unjust. Tboro Is
no sufficient reason why If the amputation
of a leg at tho hip Joint entitles a claimant
to f 13 per month tbo loss of an arm should
together bo rated at but tno. If again f 43
bo taken as a proper pension for a leg am
putated nt tho hip joint then tho disability
for po. ' rmlng manual labor from tho loss
of tbo fool and tho band should not bo
graded at a less figure. Thcro aro In-
stances In which tbo loss ot a slnglo limb Is
an entlro disablement for tbo performance
of manual labor In consequence ot the nerv-
ous and other afUletious which follow.
Tbcro aro certainly instances la which the
loss of two members of tbo body ts louowca
by an equally great disability."
Eighth That tho lnw bo amended so
that tho Commissioner shall be authorized
to pay the pension to the wlfo of a pen.
sloncr or to a suitable person on behalf ot
bis children when tho habits ot a pen-
sioner show him to oa an unfit person to ro-
cclvo or dlsburso tho pension.
Ninth That an appropriation ot 118000
bo mado to defray' tho expenses of addi-
tional necessary pension agencies.
Tenth That an additional clerical force
bo allowed to enable tho Commissioner
without making extra demands upon tho
clerks now In tho service to complete and
satisfy tha Mexican pension claims of
which 8000 havo been allowed sinco tha
passage of the act.
Tho report shows that tho total-number
of persons lu Kansas now drawing pen-
sions is 17.4S1 at a quarterly disbursement

SCHWAB AND FIELDEN.
Attorney Orlnnell Has Kind Word For
Two of the Condemned Anarchist.
Ciucioo Bept 10. -State's Attorney
Grlnncll returned from tho East yesterday
and In an Interview regarding tho Anarchist
cases saidt "Tbo decision of tho Supremo
Court could not havo beon a surprlso to
any ono familiar wllh the facta and law la
tho case. Tho testimony was conclusive
as to cullt; tho trial according to law tho
jury intelligent and non-partisan and tbo
rulings and judgment of the court agroo-
able to tho law. It seemed that the Su-
premo Court must havo affirmed as It did
and furthermore I do not think tho Bu-
prcmo Court of tho United States will
grant a writ In tho case."
On being asked If he would sign a peti-
tion for tho commutation ot the sentence to
Imprisonment for llfo Mr. Orlnnell said:
''So far as my office is concerned my duty
in thojAnarchlst cases Is ended. I do not
expect to sign any lettor or recommenda-
tion to tbo Governor for the commutation
ot tho sentence ot any Anarchists but I
shall do nothing to prevent tho friends I
the defendants seeking relict from tho Gov-
ernor. Neither shall I assist them. Attor-
tho rendition of judgmout I did say and
now repeat tbst tho conduct of Bchwab
and Flelden during tho trial and while ad-
dressing thocourt before tho sentencowas
commendable There wore rcscctful to
