Tho final decree concerning tho doomed anarchists was telegraphed to Sheriff Mat eon by tho governor at 5 o'clock this after noon.

When tho nows of tho commutation ot tho sentence of Flolden and Schwab was received at the Jail thore was an extraordinary scene ot activity. Tho news was sent to the relatives of all tho condemned men, and In a short tlmo thoy began to arrlvo at the Jail, Tho first of the women to come was Mrs. Schwab. Soon after Scwab was brought from his cell to the main ofDco. His wife quickly advanced to him. and, throwing her arms about his neck, burst Into tears. Schwab returned theembraco In a calm mannor, and soon the two were chatting quietly together. After this Spies and Fischer wero brought from their cells and taken to tbo jail library. Engel was brought to tho private oflleoof Jlr. Kolz. This was dono for the purpose of allowing tbo relatives to take their last Interviews. The first one ot the women to arrlvo after Mrs. Schwab was Miss Engel, tho daughter Ot the condemned anarchist. When tho two met in tho private ofllco thero was an outburst of grief which It is Impossible to describe. Father and daughter clung to each other and sobbod convulsively. Their conversation was in German, and listened to only by Deputy Oleson. Then came Mrs. Spies, tho motber of August, Sho had been waiting outsldo for an boar and a half, Her sobs could be heard through the corri dors ot the building. She did not stay long In the library with her eon; and on her exit from the Jail Mrs. Fischer was admitted. She went into tho library and ber lamenta tions were beard above tbo tramp of the deputies who swarmed about tbo place. But the crownlne seeno ot all was the visit of Nina Van Zandt, the proxy wife ot Spies. Sho was conducted to the library by Deputy Oleson. As she walked through the main ofllco fehs betrayed uo emotion. The moment sho saw August, however, how completely changed ber demeanor. Thero was Q look, then a gasp, and In a trice the lovers were in each other's arms. A bevy of curious reporters and officers, crowded up to the door of. tho library, but it was quickly shut by the deputy. The Interview between the pris oner and bis faithful devotee lasted nearly bait an hour. In bait an hour the lovers had Darted, and tho excitement ot tho en trance of Nina bad passed. A rumor was started to the effect that Schwab, and Flelden would bo removed to Jollet at 0,30 o'clock, but Jailer Folz declared that be had no orders to that effect. Coroner Henry L. Hertz was notified ot the death ot Llngg early tn'the day. Ue acted with great deliberation, and It was not until almost -liAOp.-m. that he started out to hunt up a Jury. When tho jury had been selected tbey went to tbo jail and viewed the remains ot Llngg, and then ad journed till next Wednesday. The sheriff has decided to take Schwab and Flelden to the penitentiary 'at once. Tbey will bo removed to Jollet to-night, strongly cuarded by a "force of deputy sheriffs. This action Was decided on by Sheriff Matson as soon as the governor's commutation was recelvod. SJBOIIEK'8 fauewult.. New Youk, Nov, 10. Tho Vrelheit to day publishes a farewell letter from Adolph Fischer, dated Cook county jail, Nov. 5, to tho anarchist, John Most. He glories In the cause and saysi "We must show our enemies that tbo anarchists are ready and willing to die for the cause. I have in dorsed and pratssd our true principles and am ready to go to the scaffold tor them," LINGO'S HOnitlllljl! DEATH. lie Escapes Denth nn tho flnltows by lllowlng Off Ills Henil. Chicago, Nov, 10 Louis Lings:, tbo bomb maker, committed suicide this morn Ing'ln his cell In the county Jail, All diiy jtstcrday It was thought that Llngg acted differently from usual, Tues day right ha gavo out his "farewell ad dress," which was written for tbo Alarm, l'arsons's old paper. In It he rcctlod at louis Linao. length his grievances and closel its fol lows: Now, with a last and earnest farewoll to al friends ana comrades, and with final wishes for the Ir prosperity, I close.

Hoeh dlo an archic LouisXlNOO. Yesterday,' when one of the guards told h'm that tho papcrshad publlshod bis letter' to D. D. Lum, tbo young bomb manufac-l tarer, bo expressed a strong dcslro to "road It in English." Jailer 'Folz consented, and Llngg slowly plodded through the transla-l tlon, Englenart speaks derm an, and when appealed to gavo Llngg tho meaning of English words In German. Tbo doomed man said tho totter was an admirable translation ot tho original. Turning to another pago ot' tho paper his cyo caught tho lino, "Llugg will surely hang." Calling Englehart, bo asked: "What Is tho meaning of this word s-u-r-e-1-y In German?" Englehart told him, and Llngg laugh ingly observed: "So; so, 1 wilt s u-r-e 1-y baDg." Ills mannor was such that Engle-i hart joined In tbo laugb. "Say," tho' blonde-haired young anarchist callod to a reporter, "did you ceo. my Maedschen?" He was told that Eda Mueller had not been seen, and bis noxt query was: "lias my setiats (Sweetheart), gone to Bprlngllold?" Immediately after the explosion Deputy O'Nell rushed Into Llngg's cell, which was completely enveloped in smoke. Tbore ho found the young anarchist lying on his back with sreat boles In bis head, from which the blood was rushing in torrents. He was at once carried into tho Jail ofUco and placed on u table. Ho was still V-eiw23SA'- August srir.s. breathing faintly, and whllo Dr. Gray was examining btm ho coughed slightly and tho blood poured forth again from his terrible wounds and from his mouth and noso. After a while Jailer Folz mado an exam ination of the coll. On the floor he found tbo shell of u fulminating case. Tho sheriff said there bad undoubtedly been dynamite In it. The supposition that the man put tbo shell tn bis mouth and deliberately ap plied the candle flame is undoubtedly cor rect. Tho explosion was terrtQc. It startled tho ofltclals, who thought it was a bomb, the noise was so great. The shell was oo small as to have allowed tbo smuggling of it Into the jail without troublo. At 10,15 Dr. Gray mado a fnrtber exam ination and found that the tissues ot the throat, the neck, and tho front ot the law bad been torn away. He administered stimulants, but tbey failed to arouse tbo man. Att'y. Hunt appeared beforo Judge Baker at lu o'cioce anu mauo a tormai application for a writ In Llngg's case and it was re fused. How the dynamite was smuggled' Into the cell Is not known, but It Is eonerallv believed there la a traitor among the death watch who gavo btm tbo dynamite and tho can. This is the theory at tho sheriff's oinco. JamosC-Klernan, M. D., tho man who signed the petition, has gained some noto riety In that lino before. Ho was ono 'of the experts tor the defense In tho cclo bratcd Gnlteau case; and at that tlmo testi fied that tho slayer ot Fresldent Garfield was Insane, lie (aids "Llngg was fuller ing from paranoia, peculiar condition ot an impaired mind a monomania1 on any question like religion or politics, l'arsons is Insane. He is a proud southerner, who married a qegress, and because society will not receive her lie Wonts to destroy all society. While It Is generally thonght around tho Jail 'now that Llngg bad all along deter mined on ending his own life In some tragic manner, It Is also believed that for some reason or other be committed tho act sooner than ho first Intended. Tuesday when Capt. Black was -leaving the loll on' bis way to Springfield, Llngg called btm to tho grating opposite bis coll, and In broken English asked btm to see that bo bad some clean linen sent him, and bo wan also very particular that It should be arranged that a messenger who brought him his clean clotbos should arraneo to tako away bis soiled things. Captain Black camo to tho jail at 10 o'clock, went to tbo rooms where the doc tors were working with LlngB. "Llngg, da you know capt. uiacKT" oskcu uepuiy Sheriff Morgan. Llngg opened his eyes, looked steadfastly at the captain, and nod ded bis bead. The rags and strings ot flesh that bung to his faco waved to and fro, and tho captain almost overcome left the room. The seeno In Lloce's cell after tho explo sion was ghastly. Teeth, bits ot Jaw bono, ebreds ot flesh and blood were scattered all over tho narrow compartment. A little trail of blood marked tho way over the stone flagging to the room where Llngg was carried. , Within fifteen minutes after the explo sion Fischer, l'arsons, and Engel woro taken from their cells and searehod In tbo Jailer's private ofllco.

Tho ex-cdltor of tho Alarm shivered with excitement, fear, and curiosity. His faco was white, and his eyes looked ready to start from their sockets. Ho was In bis ehlrt and trousers, and a wido felt hat shaded his faco. He looked as it bo would bavo given worlds to know what had hap- X!KSsfjricSS H OEOnOE EXCEL.

It Is believed bysomoof the reporters that something was found on l'arsons, although the Jail officials deny this, l'ar sons was clven a new stilt of clothes to put on and taken to another coll, where ho now Is with tno deputies standing guard over blm. Ono of them stands at the back ot his cell and tho other at the door, Tho other men and their colls were also searched, but nothing found. When Engel was bolng searched ho completely broke down, and cried liko a child. Meanwhile Turnkey O'Nell had discov ered tbo little agent which bad sorvod Llngg to accomplish bis terrible work. It was a small fulminating cap a little over an inch long. It bad been filled with f ulmluato ot mercury, and the small fuse which Is usually attached to tbeso instruments of death Lad been touched off ny Llngg at tho tlmo tho reporter thought he was lighting a cigar. When L'ngg eommtttod the deed bo was lying on bis face on his cot. After tbo affair, when bis coll was searched, an other candle was found, At the top ot It, barely concealed by the ends ot tho wick, a second fulminating cap was found, so it Is supposed that Llngg's attempted suicide was committed with ono similarly bidden. Tho candles wero furnished by tho Jail, so that the caps must havo been put in by Llngg himself. Llngg's act to-day was In keeping with bis past life. In 1SS2 be was forced to leave bis native town In Germany, After a good deal of wandering about Germany he finally landed In Switzerland. There ho continued to fight tho "blues," as tho social democrats aro called by the red followors ot Most. It was then that tho Ootial Damokral, tbe official organ ot tho German socialists, published a notice declaring Llngg to be an informer and spy ot tho German government. In 1885 ho came to America. In Now York bo stayed only a few davs. and then nroceeded farther west to Chicago. Here bo Joined tbe North Side group of the Internationals, and soon be gan tbe manufacture ot tbo bombs, ono of which was used at the Haymarket. When two policemen went to arrest him tho next day ono of them entered bis room while the other stayed outsldo the house. The latter soon besrd shouts for help, and running into Llngg's room, found that tho anarchist bad thrown bis partner on tho floor, and was only prevented from shooting him by the policeman who had a grip on the revolver wnicn unirc was enueavoring to use. i uo second ofllcor, after a desperate struggle, succeeded In placing tbo "come-alongs" on his -Wrist. Placing a pistol to his head, the policeman ordered blm to come on, bnt Llngg refused to move and said: "Shoot me, shoot me." Llngg died at 2.45. Twenty minutes be fore that time his heart began to fall, and it was plain to Dr. Moyor that he-was dying. Up to within flvo minutes ot his death he was conscious and then be began to fall rapidly. Two minutes before the fatal mo ment nis eyes opened, he cast a look around him, his nead drooped, and that was tbe last sign of life manifested. Dr. Moyer Immediately telephoned 'tor tbo coroner. The Inquest will be held this evening. Tbo explosion In Llngg'a cell created a decided sensation In tbo Jail. All tbe prisoners, over two hundred, hoard tho re port. Jailer Folz was tbo ono who carried tbe news that Llngg had used such deadly means to make uway with himself to tho other anarchists. Tbe Jailer approached l'arsons cell. "Llngg baa killed blmsolf," eaia Air. foiz, "Great God, Is that sot" exclaimed Far sons. "Yes, Its a fact," was tho roolv. "Well, my God," exclaimed l'arsons, "I wish I bad somo dynamite myself. I would kill myself only too quickly." August Bplea was then Informed nt the tragedy. "I expected nothing elso," said Spies, quietly.

Yestorday threo or four men made application to rant a room on State street, about two blocks from Mr. Brayton's residence, representing that tbey wcro musicians.

THE NEW YOllIC l'AHADE. A Largo Procession Hut No Disturb ance of Any Kind. New Yonic, Nov. 10. To-night's parade ot r oclallsts, Intended as a protest against the banging of the Chicago anarchists, was a peaceable affair. About 5,000 men turned out. Two hundred policemen ac companied tho procession, and the pollco reserves wcro held In readlnoss at tho various etatlou bouses lu caso ot troublo. Tbo procession was accom panied by three bands of music with raufllcd drums, who played the "Mar seillaise." Many red flags draped with black were carried. Tbe line ot march was down Broadway to Vcsey street, and thence through l'ark ltow and Bowery to Union square, whero a meeting was held, at which resolutions condemning the exe cution of tho condemned men wero passed. Ilcrr Most and other noted anarchists wero to have spoken at the meeting, but this part of tbo programme was abandoned. The pollco think that if there bad been any fiery speeches thero might bavo been trouble. Thero wcro a few black flags carried as well as red ones, and somo transparencies, bearing such mottoes as "Ye sons ot toil awako to glory." "Gallows against lib erty." "liowaro tbo Insurrection." "Al- Ions Enfants do la I'atrlc," Ac. Tbo dead march lu Saul alternated with tbo Mar collates hymn from tbe bands. The pollco escort did not march directly with tho pro cession. Ono detachment moved through parallel streets Just within sight whllo another followed quite a distance behind on Broadway, Tho Idea ot the authorities seemed to be to avoid all appearance ot obtruding upon tbo paradcrs. Tho dem onstration was distinctively ono ot silent protest. Tbo mournful music and tho ab sence ot all shouting or disorder produced an unlqtio effect. When the procession reached tho city hall park It formed on tho plaza before tho hall and thon massed silently for a while until the order was given to movo on. A strong reserve force ot pollco were distributed in the neighboring basements and cellars, and thoy looked out at tho singular gathering with curiojlty and somo apprehension Not the slightest dis turbance, howovor, occurred.

The gloom that li felt In tho fatherland over tho coudltlon of good old Wilhclm's heir casts a far-reich-Itig shsdow, and which Is especially dark hero In England, l'rlnco Frcdorlck William Is dear to English hearts', he Is cordially liked here, and an unfeigned sorrow Is felt for bis sad and tie' pices condition. No ons would be very much surprised to hear ot his death, and nearly all who speak ot blm stem to consider bis case as hopeless, and liln death only a question of a short time. The giavcst rumors arodally put In circula tion. About 4 o'clock this afternoon It was whlspt red about that the prince had died. This was soon afterwards denied, but tho di nisi did not como soon enough to retlovo the stock market of tbo dire effect ot such dlfmal rows. Itusslan securities Immedi ate) fell over two points, and very little business was dona in othor securities. Tbo market became very dull mil brokers exceeding cautious. Tho IlillUh McdlcslJourual asserts that a sud den swelllrgof tbo epiglottic folds adds kreatly to the gravity of the case and pre vents au Icspcctlonof tho affce'ed puts below. Tio cancer thtory Is generally ac cepted atuopg medical authorities and others Nuthlng else explains in sttfsfsc tijril) Ibu stubborn characlcrof thadlteiso. What slight hope Is felt for the success of an ojerallon, and of the prince's recovery Is bunted up by tho patlent'n Iron nerva and wonderful chcerfiilnos. Tbo consulta tion ot pbIcIanabasdecldcdttiatanoDcni tlou Is necessary; there Is no hopo of saving the prince's llfo without It and, perhaps, tho operation Itself will provo fatal. It will bo performed at Berlin by either Dr. Bcrgmanu, tho German surgeon, or by Dr. Mackenzie himself. Tho emperor Is ex ceedingly distressed, and tho poor old man, who Is hovering on tho edge ot tl c grave, will receive his death warrant If bis son succumbs to tbo surgical knife, He received only bla Immediate friends to-day, and awaits anxiously and tremblingly every bulletin from San ltcmo. Tbe auspenso Is telling badly upon him, Tho Wilson-Cat-farel trial Is tho crowing sensation of tho hour tn Pails. Every ono Is talking about It, and yesterday's expose makes it look very black for thoso who are Implicated In the affair. It Is now asserted that In view of tho now evidence against Wilson anil tbo exposure ot his practlco of dating his letters a jear back ho cannot escape punish ment unless he takes the same course as tho discreet d'Anlau ana disappears from Paris whllo thero Is yet tlmo. An cartbquako shock was felt In northern Italy this morning.

The revelations concerning blm In the Caftarcl trial bavo caused a sensa tion, and tbe newspapers say It Is Impossi ble that ho should bo allowed to escape. In tho chamber Count Do Douvllle--Mallltfoa moved to Interpolate the gov ernment on tho question, declaring thero should bo no delay In reassuring the public mind. Inquiry from tho government as to tho actions ot M. Wilson elicited the re sponse that tbo government declined to ac cept any responsibility for bis doings. After a brief debate. In which It was stated that a judicial Inquiry bad been ordered, the chamber decided to order a govern mental Inquiry into tbe scandal. It Is stated that President Grovy this evon ing declared that ho did not droaui ot re signing Immediately; that he would choosa his own tlmo. the chown ritiNCE's covniTio-r. Beiiiin, Nov. 10. Tbo dispatches re ceived hero this morning concerning tho condition ot the German crown prince say that It is critical, and that tbe prince will return to Berlin on Friday, where another operation will bo performed on bis throat. Apartments are neing prepared in tno palaco for tbe receptlou of the prlnco aud tho doctors. o uoctors. Prof. Borirmann has prepared for publica tion a history ot tho crown prince's dis ease. A dispatch to the Times from Berlin says: "Private telegrams from San He mo glvos a gloomy and alarming prognosis In regard to the crown prince. If tho growth In his throat proves to be ot a malignant nature and trecbeotnmy Is necessaiy tho crown prlnco will return to Berlin to enable l'rot. Berguiann to operato on blm, as Dr. Mac kenzie refuses to operato from inside tho throat. A dispatch from San Hemo to tho Xeta 1'rcc Vrta sajs that Dr. MacKenzle ad mitted that tbo growth In the crown prince's throat Is a cancer, and deprecates an oper ation, which, bo declares, will be both uso lose and danuerous. The crown princess also opposes an operation. This dispatch also so) s the crown prltico will return to Berlin forthwith. It Is officially announced that the consul tation ot physicians at San Hemo has not removed tho foars concerning tho crown prince's complaint, which wcro recently expressed by Dr. Mackenzie. Final de cision regarding the further treatment of tbo parent has been postponed until alter a microscopic examination ot a portion of tbe growth has been made. Emperor William was able to-day to give successive receptions to Gens. Albedylll, Perponcher, ana Scbellendorf. All Russians resident In Berlin have been visited by tbo pollco and given a list of questions relating to tbo date and place ot their birtb, their domestic and business life, tic. Answers to these questions mutt be sent to tho Itusslan coujulato within twenty-four hours. An tffoctlvo examination ot tho crown prince's throat Is Impossible at present owing to a reccurrence of the swelling ot the larynx. It will be necessary to wait uulll the swelling subsides, and it will ba probably two daj s before au examination can be made. . 1 1 i i PERSONAL, ITIE 8. IcitAPOD 0.
