Black recovered from the shock he began to devise ways and means to save his clients. "We must act promptly," he said. "Buchanan, you and I must go to Springfield to-night with the material we have and urge the governor to grant us a reprieve for thirty days, ten days, five days, for any length of time.

Wilkesbarre, Pa., Nov. 11.—James Mc- Cabe, the Wayne county murderer, was exe uted at the Honesdale jail at 12: lip. m. yesterday. About seventy persons witnessed the hanging, which was conducted by Joseph Atkinson, of New York. After banging eighteen minutes the body was cut down and handed over to his friends.

His good natured face, usually beaming with smiles, bore a sorrowful look, mingled with firmness and pity.

The editor bowed his acquiescence and then the two entered a private office, where they had a long conference. When they got through, Capt.

Berlin, Nov. 11.—A dispatch from San Remo to the Neua Freie Presse says that Dr. Mackenzie admits that the growth in the crown prince's throat is a cancer and deprecates an operation, which, he declares, will be both useless and dangerous. The crown princess also opposes an operation. This dispatch also says the crown prince will return to Berlin forthwith. Among those who witnessed the execution was Jumes P. Reilly, brother of the murdered man. The wife of McCabe, with her children, bad a long interview with the condemned man in the morning. It was a heartrending scene, and the man and wife were with difficulty separated. Mass was celebrated in the doomed man's cell at 6 o'clock. McCabe received the holy communion for the last time. After mass the condemned was in better spirits. Ue said: "WMl, ail is over now; I am ready to meet my God." He walkedto the gallows at 11:45 leaning on the arm of his spiritual adviser, and with a firm step mounted the scaffold. The priest recited the prayers for the dead and McCabe answered in low tones. He kissed tho crucifix and shook hands with the sheriff. The black cap was adjusted and at 12:01 he was swung into eternity.

Mrs. Fielden was visited by a reporter at her home, No. 110 West Polk street, last evening, and asked if she had heard of the commutation of her husband's sentence. "Oh, I am glad that my man is saved from that awful death," she Baid, "but my heart is full of trouble. What will I and my children cl# without my man?

Text of Governor Oglesby's Decision In tlie Appeal for Mercy—The Last Sad Miss Van Zandt was also allowed to see Spies. She rushed at him in the jail library and a close embrace ensued. Spies sat down, and the heart broken girl held him in her nrms with her face pillowed on his neck.

On the 20th day of August, I8S0, in the Cook county criminal court, August Spies, Albert It. Parsons, Samuel Fielden, Michael Schwab, Adolpli Fischer, George Engel and Louis Lingg were found guilty by the verdict of t h - jury and afterwards sentenced to be hanged for tlie murder of Matthias J. Degan. An appeal was taken from such finding and sentence to the supreme court of the state. That court upon a final hearing, and after mature deliberation, unanimously affirmed the judgment of the court below. The case now comes before me by petition of tile defendants for consideration, as governor of the state—if the 'letters of Albert Parsons, Adolph Fischer, George Engel and Louis Lingg, demanding unconditional release, or, as they express it, "liberty or death," and protesting in the strongest language against mercy or commutation of sentence pronounced against them, can be considered petitions. Chicago, Nov. 11.—Shortly after the condemned Anarchists had finished eating breakfast vi'sterday morning the watchers were start.u.1 by a loud explosion in Lingg's cell, and rushing thence they found the bomb maker weltering in his gore. Pieces of flesh, bone and clots of brain strewed the floor of the eel'. Lingg's appearance was terrible. Awful moans, heard in the cage fifty feet away, came from his throat—it couldn't be said that he had any mouth or face at all.

Spies and Fischer were promptly informed of the governor's decision, but Parsons and Engel were kept in ignorance of their fato and that of their fellow Anarchists. Sheriff Matson issued orders last evening to begin the erection of the scaffold for the execution of tho Anarchists, and half a dozen carpenters auJ deputies wero engaged in putting tLo machine of death in position, and A dispatch received from San Remo by The National Gazette says: "An effective examination of the crown prince's throat is impossible at present, owing to a recurrence of the swelling of the larynx. It will be necessary to wait until the swelling subsides, and it will be probably two days before an examination can be made. The physicians will remain in attendance." 11:57 a. m.—The drop has just fallen. Aa it fell, Fischer cried, "Long live anarchy I" Ho died hard.

"Surely, Mrs. Fielden,"the reporter asked, "you must be glad to think that now you can seo yonr husband again, and that there may somo time be a chance of his being pardoned ?" Shortage In the Cotton Crop. New York, Nov. 11.—The report of the bureau of agriculture, showing a shortage in the cotton crop, caused great excitemcut on the Cotton Exchange yesterday. Sales were 278,200 bales, or larger than on any former single day for five years. Quotations advanced sixty points within a few moments, and shorts were badly squeezed, though no failures were reported. Brokers had been working on a basis of a crop of 6,500,000 or 0,700,000 bales, whereas the report showed a total crop of only 6,200,000 bales. 12:25 p.m.—Tho coffins have been taken "Oh, I fear that will never happen; not in time to do me any good.

"Enough to last awhile, but I am not strong enough to work and don't know what will become of us." Pardon, could it be granted, wbicb might imply any guilt whatever upon the part of either of them, would not be such a vindication as they demand. Executive intervention upon the grounds insisted upon by the four above named persons could in no proper sense be deemed an exercise of the constitutional power to grant reprieves, commutations and pardons, unless based upon the belief on my part of their entire innocence of the crime or which they stand convicted. A careful consideration of the evidence in tho record of (he trial of the parties, as well as of all alleged and claimed for them outside of the record, has failed to produce upon my mind any impression tending to impeach the verdict of the jury or the judgment of the trial court, or of the supreme court affirming the guilt of all the parties.

He is a man of mauy accomplishments, and is ono of the most graceful, most finished and most fascinating speakers in tho house of commons. Tho excessive beauty of his language and Ihe exquisite precision with which even in unpremeditated efforts ho rounds his sentences recall the traditions of his grandfather, Lord Pluuket, whom old parliamentary critics who had heard Canning and Brougham and Peel pronounced tho finest speaker they hud ever known. What is very remarkable about Mr. Plunket's oratory is that a certain stammer or impediment in his speech, which ill ordinary conversation is so marked as to ho inconvenient, entirely vanishes as soon as ho is on his legs, leaving nothing but a slight deliberation which lends emphasis to his rhetorical points.

The unfortunate man passed away at 2:45 yesterday afternoon. Twenty minutes before that time his heart began to fail, and it was plain to Dr. Moyer that he was dying. Up to within five minutes of his death he was conscious, and thon he began to fail rapidly. Two minutes before the fatal moment his eyes opened, he cast a look around him, his head dropped, and that was the last sign of life manifested. Dr. Moyer immediately telephoned for the coroner. could be heard by the victims. Jailer Folz was in consultation with the sheriff at the jail lust evening and it was agreed that the jailer should adjust the nooses. Samuel Fieiden, Michael Schwab and August Spies unite in a petition for "executive clemency." fieiden and Schwab, in addition, present separate and supplementary petitions for the commutation of their sentences. London, Nov. 11.—The dispatches received here yesterday morning concerning the condition of the German crown prince say that it is critical, and that the prince will return to Berlin on Friday, where an operation will be performed on his throat by Professor Bergmann. Dr. Mackenzie refuses to operate from inside the throat. Apartments are being prepared in the palace for the reception of the prince and the doctors. The First and Second regiments were drilling at their respective armories last night and were under arms early this morning, in readiness for any disturbance. All of the men were supplied with forty rounds of ammunition. While, as stated above, I am satisfied of the guilt of all the parties as found by the verdict of the jury, which was sustained by the judgments of the courts, a most careful consideratiou of the whole subject leads me to the conclusion that the sentence of the law as to Samuel Fieiden and Michael Schwab may be modified as to each of them, in the interest of humanity, and without doing violence to public Justice.

The other prisoners refuse to say anything about Lingg's attempt at suicide except Fischer, who said: "I thought Lingg was possessed of sufficient courage not to do such a thing. I certainly am surprised. As for me, I am ready to face the gallows." Sheriff Mataon said: "It can only be surmised how Liugg got the explosive in his possession without our discovering it He hasIbeen thoroughly searched every day since the discovery of tho bombs, and nothing has been found on hira.

"We've got men enough to maintain a separate guard for each prisoner until the execution takes place." After the cells and the prisoners had been subjected to a thorough search, Parsons was removed to cell 10 and Fischer to cell 28, on the second tier. Engel was placed in the jail office and Spies, Schwab and Fielden were taken to the library. There was a separate guard for each man, and they were not allowed to make a move without the knowledge of a stalwart deputy sheriff. At U o'clock another change was made. Parsons was put in cell 4, Engel in 5, Fischer in 6 and Spies in 7, all on the ground tier and directly facing the entrance to the corridor. Schwab and Fielden were put in the second tier, where their old cells are. Two guards wero assigned to each cell. Prospects of a Big Trial.

BLACK'S HEROIC EFFORTS. Special Inducements Offered for the Next 30 Days, How the Anarchists' Counsel Clutelied at Every Straw. Chicago, Nov. 11.—The application for a writ of habeas corpus made by Attorney Moses Salomon on behalf of A. R. Parsons before Judge Tuley was yesterday afternoon denied by the judge. The grounds on which the writ was asked were that the judgment affirmed by the supreme court was against seven men and not against one; that the prisoner, not being in court when the sentence was passed, could not be executed under it; that the death warrant was illegal, because it did not run in the name of the people of the state of Illinois. These questions Mr. Salomon argued at length and Messrs. Orinnell and Walker opposed. The court said he had no power or authority to correct the errors of the supreme court; that the prisoner was in custody legally and that tho sheriff's process, if process it might be called, was legal. The issuance of the writ, under the circumstances, the judge saij, would be an abuse. Mr. Salomon said he would at once notify the sheriff that if he executed Parsons et al., he would be responsible for the act. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS CONDENSED. Cancer Caused by Chewing Paper.

Policeman Bray shot and killed a negro desperado named George Grant, in Kansas City, on the spot where Grant killed Officer Pat Jones five years ago. Dr. Moyer, in disclosing the results of their examination, said that both the upper and lower jaws had been battered and forced apart bj the explosion of the deadly missile in bis mouth. The base of the mouth was torn out, including a part of the tongue and the whole mass of its attaching ligaments, allowing the tongue to fall back, thus threatening suffocation. The surgeons, however, passed a ligature through the tongue and drew the organ forward so that breathing could bo carried on without other difficulty than that caused by the circumstances of the case. The whole base of the nose was blown away. The large blood vessel that spouted forth the [sanguineous fluid in solid jets was tbe lingual artery, but this was tied up—not, however, until an enormous amount of blood had been lost. There was a double fracture of the left thumb, caused by a portion of the missile striking it as Lingg lit the fuse of the bomb held between his teeth. What order of bomb it was that thus took away, before the law's allotted time, the life ■of Lingg is a matter of some doubt.

Two hundred policemen accompanied the procession, and the police reserves were held in readiness at the various station houses in case of trouble. The processiou was accompanied by throe bands of music, with mnfiled drums, which played the "Marseillaise" and dirgis. Many red flags, draped with black, were carried. At Union square a meeting was h»:d, at which resolutioni condemning the execntion of the condemned men were passed. Hon- Most and other noted AnarchisLs wore to have spoken at the meeting, but this part of the programme was abandoned. The police think that if there had been any fiery speeches thero might have been trouble.

Tiio entire specimen is of the very hardest quartz in texture. It was found on a hillside of about 1,500 feet altitude from the floor of tlie Big vallo-y, and evidently petrified at that point.

Berlin, Nov. 11.—A dispatch from San Remo to the Neua Freie Presse says that Dr. Mackenzie admits that the growth in the crown prince's throat is a cancer and deprecates an operation, which, he declares, will be both useless and dangerous. The crown princess also opposes an operation. This dispatch also says the crown prince will return to Berlin forthwith. Among those who witnessed the execution was Jumes P. Reilly, brother of the murdered man. The wife of McCabe, with her children, bad a long interview with the condemned man in the morning. It was a heartrending scene, and the man and wife were with difficulty separated. Mass was celebrated in the doomed man's cell at 6 o'clock. McCabe received the holy communion for the last time. After mass the condemned was in better spirits. Ue said: "WMl, ail is over now; I am ready to meet my God." He walkedto the gallows at 11:45 leaning on the arm of his spiritual adviser, and with a firm step mounted the scaffold. The priest recited the prayers for the dead and McCabe answered in low tones. He kissed tho crucifix and shook hands with the sheriff. The black cap was adjusted and at 12:01 he was swung into eternity.

Text of Governor Oglesby's Decision In tlie Appeal for Mercy—The Last Sad Miss Van Zandt was also allowed to see Spies. She rushed at him in the jail library and a close embrace ensued. Spies sat down, and the heart broken girl held him in her nrms with her face pillowed on his neck.

On the 20th day of August, I8S0, in the Cook county criminal court, August Spies, Albert It. Parsons, Samuel Fielden, Michael Schwab, Adolpli Fischer, George Engel and Louis Lingg were found guilty by the verdict of t h - jury and afterwards sentenced to be hanged for tlie murder of Matthias J. Degan. An appeal was taken from such finding and sentence to the supreme court of the state. That court upon a final hearing, and after mature deliberation, unanimously affirmed the judgment of the court below. The case now comes before me by petition of tile defendants for consideration, as governor of the state—if the 'letters of Albert Parsons, Adolph Fischer, George Engel and Louis Lingg, demanding unconditional release, or, as they express it, "liberty or death," and protesting in the strongest language against mercy or commutation of sentence pronounced against them, can be considered petitions. Chicago, Nov. 11.—Shortly after the condemned Anarchists had finished eating breakfast vi'sterday morning the watchers were start.u.1 by a loud explosion in Lingg's cell, and rushing thence they found the bomb maker weltering in his gore. Pieces of flesh, bone and clots of brain strewed the floor of the eel'. Lingg's appearance was terrible.

Sheriff Matson issued orders last evening to begin the erection of the scaffold for the execution of tho Anarchists, and half a dozen carpenters auJ deputies wero engaged in putting tLo machine of death in position, and A dispatch received from San Remo by The National Gazette says: "An effective examination of the crown prince's throat is impossible at present, owing to a recurrence of the swelling of the larynx.

The physicians will remain in attendance." 11:57 a. m.—The drop has just fallen. Aa it fell, Fischer cried, "Long live anarchy I" Ho died hard.

Shortage In the Cotton Crop. New York, Nov. 11.—The report of the bureau of agriculture, showing a shortage in the cotton crop, caused great excitemcut on the Cotton Exchange yesterday. Sales were 278,200 bales, or larger than on any former single day for five years. Quotations advanced sixty points within a few moments, and shorts were badly squeezed, though no failures were reported. Brokers had been working on a basis of a crop of 6,500,000 or 0,700,000 bales, whereas the report showed a total crop of only 6,200,000 bales. 12:25 p.m.—Tho coffins have been taken "Oh, I fear that will never happen; not in time to do me any good.

Executive intervention upon the grounds insisted upon by the four above named persons could in no proper sense be deemed an exercise of the constitutional power to grant reprieves, commutations and pardons, unless based upon the belief on my part of their entire innocence of the crime or which they stand convicted. A careful consideration of the evidence in tho record of (he trial of the parties, as well as of all alleged and claimed for them outside of the record, has failed to produce upon my mind any impression tending to impeach the verdict of the jury or the judgment of the trial court, or of the supreme court affirming the guilt of all the parties.

The First and Second regiments were drilling at their respective armories last night and were under arms early this morning, in readiness for any disturbance.

While, as stated above, I am satisfied of the guilt of all the parties as found by the verdict of the jury, which was sustained by the judgments of the courts, a most careful consideratiou of the whole subject leads me to the conclusion that the sentence of the law as to Samuel Fieiden and Michael Schwab may be modified as to each of them, in the interest of humanity, and without doing violence to public Justice.

"We've got men enough to maintain a separate guard for each prisoner until the execution takes place." After the cells and the prisoners had been subjected to a thorough search, Parsons was removed to cell 10 and Fischer to cell 28, on the second tier. Engel was placed in the jail office and Spies, Schwab and Fielden were taken to the library. There was a separate guard for each man, and they were not allowed to make a move without the knowledge of a stalwart deputy sheriff. At U o'clock another change was made. Parsons was put in cell 4, Engel in 5, Fischer in 6 and Spies in 7, all on the ground tier and directly facing the entrance to the corridor. Schwab and Fielden were put in the second tier, where their old cells are. Two guards wero assigned to each cell. Prospects of a Big Trial.

BLACK'S HEROIC EFFORTS. Special Inducements Offered for the Next 30 Days, How the Anarchists' Counsel Clutelied at Every Straw. Chicago, Nov. 11.—The application for a writ of habeas corpus made by Attorney Moses Salomon on behalf of A. R. Parsons before Judge Tuley was yesterday afternoon denied by the judge. The grounds on which the writ was asked were that the judgment affirmed by the supreme court was against seven men and not against one; that the prisoner, not being in court when the sentence was passed, could not be executed under it; that the death warrant was illegal, because it did not run in the name of the people of the state of Illinois. These questions Mr. Salomon argued at length and Messrs. Orinnell and Walker opposed. The court said he had no power or authority to correct the errors of the supreme court; that the prisoner was in custody legally and that tho sheriff's process, if process it might be called, was legal. The issuance of the writ, under the circumstances, the judge saij, would be an abuse. Mr. Salomon said he would at once notify the sheriff that if he executed Parsons et al., he would be responsible for the act. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS CONDENSED. Cancer Caused by Chewing Paper.

Policeman Bray shot and killed a negro desperado named George Grant, in Kansas City, on the spot where Grant killed Officer Pat Jones five years ago. Dr. Moyer, in disclosing the results of their examination, said that both the upper and lower jaws had been battered and forced apart bj the explosion of the deadly missile in bis mouth. The base of the mouth was torn out, including a part of the tongue and the whole mass of its attaching ligaments, allowing the tongue to fall back, thus threatening suffocation. The surgeons, however, passed a ligature through the tongue and drew the organ forward so that breathing could bo carried on without other difficulty than that caused by the circumstances of the case. The whole base of the nose was blown away. The large blood vessel that spouted forth the [sanguineous fluid in solid jets was tbe lingual artery, but this was tied up—not, however, until an enormous amount of blood had been lost. There was a double fracture of the left thumb, caused by a portion of the missile striking it as Lingg lit the fuse of the bomb held between his teeth. What order of bomb it was that thus took away, before the law's allotted time, the life ■of Lingg is a matter of some doubt. New York, Nov. 11.—Last night's parade of Socialists, intended as a protest against the hanging of the Chicago Anarchists, was u peaceable affair. About 5,000 men turned out. Two hundred policemen accompanied the procession, and the police reserves were held in readiness at the various station houses in case of trouble. The processiou was accompanied by throe bands of music, with mnfiled drums, which played the "Marseillaise" and dirgis. Many red flags, draped with black, were carried. At Union square a meeting was h»:d, at which resolutioni condemning the execntion of the condemned men were passed. Hon- Most and other noted AnarchisLs wore to have spoken at the meeting, but this part of the programme was abandoned.
