Tlio Anarchists were to have held threo mootlngs In tlio city to-day. Extraordinary movomonts by tlio pollco led the revolutionists to nbnndon their iidvortisod proloots. but the Hods in tlio northwest dis tricts doflod pollco Jnterforeneo nnd wore not molested.

Tho sun blazed from a cloar sky all day nnd draw Croat crowds Into the streets. At noon it boenmo evident that the pollco in tho Haymnrkbt district were to have some work to perform. A big crowd gathered at Madison and Ilnlstoad streots, nnd as tho afternoon woro on tho idlors moved 1 toward the Dosplalnes street station, whore ovor 200 pollco were hold in rosorvo in tho as sembly room. At 1 o'clock Doaplnlnos street, from Madison to Iiako street, was lined with loltorers, who had como in anticipation of o collision between tho ofllcers and tho rovolutionlsta. An hour later tha crowd surgod'as far oast as Griefs Hall, near Clinton street whoro it was said a mass meetlnc would behold.

Under instructions from Capt Aldrich. a squad of pollco began to disporso the crowds about a o'clock. Tho idlers wore not permitted to Blither In groups, and nil of them woro kept gioving by significant tape from police clubs, len nnd boys, drawn for tho most part from the poorer classes, continued to walk aimless ly about tho big Dosplaincs streot station until it crow dark, but thoyweto merely curiosity soekors. and did not attempt to deiy the stern orders of tho police. , , About 4 o'clock a, stout, smooth-facod Ger man with n UaminB red scarf tied around his neok staggered past the station. Ho was drunk, and was generously assisted to Ran dolph street, two blocks uway. by the police who punched him in the rib with their clubs as ho passed along. At Griefs Hall, where the big mass meeting was to bo hold, a policoman stood in front of the building swinging his club. Annrchlsta who' bnd no tlmo to loiter About tho streots went into the placo. but tlior found no meeting in progress or in contempla tion. Anarchist Grief himself haug no n pla card about 2 o'clock which bore the announce ment that there would bono meeting thoro to day. Tho revolutionists then sat down and drank boor. Thoy were careful not to make any incendiary utterances, but tho women, of whom theiv was a great many, talked llorcoly.

Theywere asked to disperse, hut thoy promptly passod n resolu tion deoltiring tholr Intention of remaining in session until tho pollco .should drive them out of tbe hall. Capt. Hathaway uud four police- Sion then visited tho hall for tha purpose of rooking up tho meoting. They found, how ever, that the subjects discussed by tho society wore not of a nature to cull for interference, and tho meeting was permitted to continue. Another meeting was to have been hold at COO Bluo Island avenue, but tho Beds wore frightened and did not appear at tho hall. Tho bunday schools of tho (Socialists on Clybourne avenue and at 1.822 Milwaukee nvenuowero not molested. There were many idlors about the Arbriter Zeilung office In Twelfth, street, where a bust of August Splos. draped with n flaming rod sash, could be seen from tho win dows. Anarchists wore out in strong force in the outlying districts, but thoy seemed to pre fer walking leisurely about to running the risk of getting their skulls crocked by assembling when the pollco were walking with tholr six shootere and brightly polished clubs.

TURUATEXKD XriXB KXFOSUttE. Desperate Ktrbrts or the Alaska Company to Intimidate Witnesses. Indianapolis, Doc. 0. Tho first fruits of The Bom's exposures of the state of affairs in Alaska seen here came to-day In the shape of telegraphlo subpoenas too number of persons supposed to have knowledge of tho facts to appear before tho committee of tha House of Bepresentativ'os oc D. 10 to testify as. to tho ailogod outrages committod upon the natives. Thomas1 J. flyna. formerly .Treasury agent at Iho HearrelandsT was oneoTfncse subpoenaed, and it is understood that William Gavltt tho present Treasury agent at the same place, also received n summons. Bubpcenaes are not the only things of Into rest in this matter that have arrived In Indiana within a few days. Tho Alaska Company, or its agents and friends, havo been qulaker even than the Congress committee and persons suspected of having been concerned In the recent exposures, or thought likely to clvo corroborative ovidanco as to them, havo beon threatened with un- Iileaeant consequences In case thoy do so. At east ono present official of tbe Government las been concorned in this blackmailing, and the committee will havo a chanco to see docu mentary evidence that tho attempt has beon mado or persons In authority in Alaska to trlghton their subordinates into silence, by threaten lug them with the publication of scan dalous charges as to their moral character la case they persist in epoaklng. It is assorted that tho Alaska Company or Kb friends havo hod prepared for such a contingency as has now arlson affidavits making vllo charges against Government ofllcers and formor ofll cers whom they suspect of being likely tocauso them trouble, and that those affidavits aro held over the heads of tho officials as a menaco. Affidavits of this sort are easily obtained from the class of mon who constitute tho bulk of tho white populationlonlthe Seal Islands. In nt least one case thore'iscloarwrltton evidence that a Government official in sympathy with tho company has formally offered to supproM certuln affidavits It a subordinate of his would hold bis tongue about what ho had neon in Alaska, and that he has so suppressed the afll davlts. If any xlt. for six months, and now tbroatons to publish them if tbe subordinate gives testimony against tbe company, and promises to still longor suppress them if tho subordinate keep his mouth shut, , . The same subordinate hns received from a superior in the Government service a written intimation that the subordinates request to have an opportunity given him to tell his story to the department nt Washington had been filgeon-boled with tho Implied warning that the east he had to say about the affairs in Alaska the better It would be for him. Public feollng hero, even outside of those directly Interested in the matter, hns been con siderably worked up by the exposures and tho rumors of attempts to punish persons thought to be responsible for them, and there is no doubt that the Indiana witnessos who have to testify as to their own knowledge of tbo sbusos will have abundant backing from publia men of both parties in tholr own State., FIBAXE3 OF TUB CIIE3AVBAKB.

Adjutant Marphy or the OOthBeKlment Fol lowed 17p by an Unknown Tormentor. Mr. John Murphy was appointed to tho post of Adjutant of the Sixty-ninth Regiment about a year ago by Col. Cavaaagh, when Ad jutant Moran was mode Lieutonant-Colonel of the regiment At that time there were three officers, especially of tbe Sixty-ninth, who wanted the place ot Adjutant Mr. Murphy prior to his promotion was a First Lieutonant In Capt McCarthy's company, and had been a member ot the regiment for eight years. Oapt McCarthy said last night that lio felt from the first that Murphy would get the place. First of all be was o warm per-. -sotrat friend -otOoL CavanaghT and In the" sec ond place he was one of the fow officers of tho Sixty-ninth who had seen service on the field as a member of the Irish brigade. One of the now Adjutant's first duties was to appoint a clerk. Thennmoot his appointee has not. boen revoaled, but it is asserted that he and tho Adjutant could not agree. At all events the Adjutant lately discharged his olerk, and slnco then a series of practical jokes,nhich had made Mr. Murphy's life wretched for n long tlmo, have ceased to be played upon him. Ono morning Inst spring Cnpt Dennis Mc Carthy entered the Adjutant's ofllco with an angry frown. "Look hero, Adjutant" said he, "what do you moan by sondlng for me to como hers and then not showing up yourself V" Mr. Murphy was amazed at this, but his sur prise was even greater whon tbe Captain pro duced a postal curd dated the day before, on which was written: "Meet me at tbo armory at 8 P. Jr. sharp. John Murphy, Adjutant." ' I never wrote it." gasped tho Adjutant One morning as Adjutant Murphy was leav ing his house to go to work, a telegram was put Into his hands which informod him that Capt. Kerr, who Is stationed at Itundall's Island, could not uttond tbe meoting. There wax no meeting, but when be ronahed bis shop thorewero several offlcors of the Sixty-ninth there who showed tho Adjutnnt postal cards catling u meeting at bis store and signed with bis name. Not long alter this Adjutant Mur- fiby was coated by tho window reading, whon. ooklng up he saw entorlng his shop several colored women, each with a pall and a broom. The women said thoy wore ready toco to work, nnd one ot them produced a clipping from a newspaper nnd asked him why ho had adver tised for "titty colored ladles" to "find con genial employmont If they will call with palls and brooms at 27 Heaver street at 9 o'clock to morrow morningT' . , Col. Cavanagh was very Indignant over the affair yosterday. and said that It the offendor were discovered to be one ot his men ho would certainly have him courtmartlaled. Other officers who were seen admitted having suspi cions as to tbo perpetrators of the outrage, but refused to montlon any names, "Tho affair reflects unpleasantly upon tho whole regiment" said Cnpt MoCarthy. " and has made us all ridiculous.

Detectives Brown and Broas of tho'Erio Itailrond completed yesterday a reriesof arrests of a gang of safe breakers who, it Is said, have been robbing stations along the road for a week. The gang began operations Tuesday night at the Shoholn Glen station, in this Stato, Thoy pried open the door ot tho station", and blew open the railroad safe with powder. They got $80 In money, and a lot ot express pack agos, the contents of whloh aro unknown. They were too shrewd to steal any of the tlckeU in the oflloo. Tho following night thoy broke into tho Parker Glen station, and robbod tho safe of tl 10 in money. Tbo next night the station at (Juandotta. Pa., was broken into.

And when tho day Is ovor th'oro it a possibility that part ot the curiosity ns to what Mayor Hewitt and tho County Democracy uiny do In thotnntterwlllbo satisfied. During the cam paign It wns genorally understood that these two offices were nmong tlioso to bocomo vacant on May I. Tho l'ulillo Wi'iki Dopnrtinont, with Its vast pntronngo, was nno of tho blggost plums In tlio cako that Tammany won on election day if they won it, Tho Consolidation act, passed in 1882, continued thn tormii ot tho Commissioner liinl tho Corporation Counsel, as provided in the churtor of 1873. at four years ench, but added, nppnrontly to got them In among tho otlior 1st ot May cbnngos. that the ap pointees to succeed those tlion In office whoso terms expired in Doeombor, 1881, should hold offlco until tho 1st ol Mny, 1889. Instead of four years from December, 18bt. This pro vision is now attacked on the ground tlint It Ik unconstitutional because tho title of the uct "toconBolldalo and declare tbo Iiiwh relating to tlio city of New York" does not indicate miy uuw legislation, and on tlio further ground thut by tensonof tho mixing up of tlio tormi and lllllngvncnnclcs ut different terms, there was roully no Commissioner of Fublla Works or Corporation Counsnl whoso tlmo expired in Deccuibor. 1881. uud that this error of fact makes tho niibemiant tuovislon void. This view of tlio case 1a hold by ox-Judge Watorbury and Col. E. T. ood, und probably others of the County Demooraoy, though most of them are chary ot committing thoiusolvea. Their objoct is to show that the successors to D. Lowbcr Smith and Henry It. Iteekman can ho nppolntod betwoen now and New year's for four veins by Mayor Hewitt, instead of next May by Mayor Grant. Mr. Waterbury Is very decided In tho matter of the first point, and says that cltbor our State Constitution is with out force, or this view must bold. But ho also holds that tho appolntmont to either ot these rnico8 Is for four years from its date, and that this makos Mr. Bookman solid until 1891, and Mr. Smith until 1HD2. . , Tho Tammany people dorido those views of tho case, but say they believe that Mayor Hew itt Intends to reappoint Messrs. Ueekman and Smith olther to-day or on Doc. 01 for a new termot four years each, nnd to leavo them to hold tho fort ngolnst Mayor Grant's appointees it thoy can.

Ho does not turn to tbo Pollco Court benoh for opinions in matters ot this kind, He will, of course, carry out the law as it is construed by himself or those com petent to construe it to whom he may apply.

The employoes of the three bureaus woro to havo a ball, they said, In Apollo Hall on tbe night of Dec. 2G, and thep asked Mrs. Bomeman to buy threo tickets.

She con'ontod to tako one ticket at tl, and in leav ing White said to her: "Now. If you want any favor done come to room 2, Health Depart ment I'm our man." She told tho occurrence to the officer on post, and ho reported it to Inspoctor Byrnes. When White was arrested on tho other charge, somo of tbe bogus ball tickets were found on him. nnd Justice Gorman held him in 700 ball for examination to-day.

Those guards challenged all persons npproacnlng In their dectlon of tho jail, and all such persons woro summarily ordered to halt Tho inner guards woro stationed near tho entrance to tho alleyway loading to tho jail, and thosa kept a close lookout for nil who enme near them, and who for any reason had escaped the outer guards. In and nonr the jail the arrangements wero even moro complete. Tho entrance to tho old jail on Twenty-first street was well guarded and barricaded, leaving no possible hope ot en trance from that point A number of men woro also stationed near the ontranco to tho alley way Immediately between tho wall to tho jail and tho fence to the now Court House. The outer door of the jail, facing the now Court House, was open, and on the narrow platform and stone stops leading to the door wero gathered a dozon determined men under tho load ot Chief Pickard und Sheriff Smith, all armed with Winchester rifles and with many rounds of cartridges.

A number of msn wore also stationed In the socond story of tho now Court House. A feeling of intense anxiety prevailod, and the silence at times was ominous. At 11 o'clock the shoutBof the approaching crowd could be plainly henrd. Tho shouts grew closer nnd louder still, and tho officers on tbe inside fingered their guns, and began making preparations for tho assault A mass of men appeared in tho entrance to the alley, and in a loud voice Sheriff Smith ordered them out at the peril of their lives. It was very dark and Impossible to distinguish tho exact place the men at the entrance to tho alley were lo cated. Some wore ovldently on tbo opposlto sldo of tho street Again the mnss of mon ap peared in tho entrance to the alley, " I am going to shoot at three." called out the Sheriff. " Ono two-three," but neither ,tho Sheriff hor his men fired. I will Dro at five" again announced tho Sheriff, who was vory much excited. The officers could see tho forms of tho men creeping up the alleyway toward the jail. Again the sharp voice of tho Sheriff called out " One," " Two," Ac, and when five had been reached he callod out "FIroI" A perfect fusillade followed, and when tho Bmoko cleared away the alloy leading to the jail door wns blocked with dead and wounded men.

Groat excitement was caused by the funeral cortego through a principal highway of one of the victims of lustnight's affray. The lengthy procession was headed by a brass band playing Holemn dirges. Tho Post Office building is draped in mourning, and makes mute appeal to overy passorby. Tho military were called upon to arrest Smith and others implicated, but this was refused, and finally at about 5 o'clock a citizen went before a Justice of the Peace, nnd swore out a warrant for the arrest ot Smith and his deputies on the charge of murder. This was served by the Coroner, who found Smith In jail, nnd tho Coronor himself took chargo of tho jail, and in his custody that in stitution Is at present.
