Even the toasts to thequeen , the prince , the army , tlio navy andthe colonies wcio somewhat slurred overuntil the one touching the premiercould bo readied. In vain LoidGeorge Hamilton , as a youngSir Joseph Porter , K. C.

Then the premier plcasnntlj'lilntcd that thiswas doubly a jubilee jear. He found a jnbl-leo In the fact that thu classes and masseshad pulled to e.lher to malnt.iin thu Impeilal-union. . It was a jubilee , too , because truelegislators had conqueicd false agitators. Ho-

Close an n Clam.WASHINGTON , August 11Special[ Tele-

gram¬

to the BKK.1 Tlio secretary of state Ischagrined over the publications In the news-papers about the Cutting affair , There isonly one answer now byeverjonoconnected with the department and that isthere is "no news." That means simplythat them Is no news that will bo given tothe public. The fact Is there is a great dealbeing received and sent every day. All cor-

icspoudoncc-

with Minister Jackson Is beingconducted In cipher. The key to tills cipheris kept a profound secret and is changed fre-quently.

¬

. The cipher is susceptible of morethan one hundred thousand variations and isnot likely to bo discovered by the public at-

large. . The last dispatch of Importancesent to Minister Jackson Instructedhim to make a demand on the Mexicangoveinmciit that the governor of Chihuahuabeoidered to release Cuttliu. An officialwho ought to know what Is coins forwaidsaid to day that the follow lug would piobabiy-be the outcome ot the whole mattci : "AlterUniforms of tiial been gone throughwith , and Cuttinir has been iotmally dis-posed

¬

Diaz will paidon him as hu has a per-fect rluht to do under the Mexic.m constitut-ion.

. When Cutting is at llbeity then will be-tlio proper time to consider tliu methods th.ithave been pursued toward him. The Mexi-can

Germany's Position.WASHINGTON , August 11. [Special Tele-

gram¬

to the BEI.J Speaking of the rumorthat the German government was backingthe Mexican government in opposition to thedemand of Secretary Bayard in the Cuttingatluir , a high olllclal of the state departmentto-day said that veislon of tlio matter Wasabsurd , It was true the German governmentwas taking a jrreat interest In Mexican af-

fairs¬

, but only with a view to extend Its com-merce

¬

theio. Otheiwlso the German govern-ment

¬

was well awaio of the fact that no-

quaircl between the United States and Mex-ico

¬

could bo settled by outside interference.The Geiman government has always lecog-nlzcdaud

-w ill hereafter lecogime the Monioo

doctrine , and while it may follow GermanIn Mexico , that government is

too intelligent to believe those colonies canoverbeeomu subject to its contiol or form a-

pait of the Geiman empire. German coloniz-ation

¬

in Mexico can have no other object thanto extend German commeico in that conntiy.Germany knows very well the United Stateswill never submit to a French piotectoiatoover the Isthmus , ami to prevent that Gci-many has only to side with the United Statesagainst It and uphold the Mortice doctrine-

Trial Ncnrlne the Knd.-CIIICAOO

.

, AiiKiist 11 , A little before 10this forenoon the defendants In the anarch-ists'

¬

trial marched Into Judge Gary's crowdedcourt room , headed by August Spies. Tlioprisoners all looked smiling and apparentlyunconcerned and giceted their lady friendswith smiles. They had scarcely taken theirscats when a young lady with a basket on herarm went alone the line and presented eachof them with a bunch of flowers. One of thepapers this morning stated that Mr*. Hlnolt ,

wife of otho leading counsel ferthe defense , supplied the anarch-ists

¬

with their morning bouquets,She was nuotcd as saying In n tlorlst shop"1 wanttiiesc for the pom saints at cilmlnal-court. . The dear maitvrs aio being solelyabused bv the tyiaiils now and 1 fear some-thing

¬

will happen to them , but If an > tilingiocs there are thousands ic.uly to tear theiroppressors to pieces. " Mis . Black indig-nantly

¬

denied the remaiks attributed to herto a leportcr tills moinlng.-

Ofllcer.

Palmer was called to the stand bythe state and testified that Schnaubclt couldspeak Kngllsh , contradicting tno statementmade by Spies on tlio stand. Tlio witnesswas notcross-evuiilned. Detective Boutiuldsaid that when Spies was arrested that noono offered him any violence whatever anddeclaring that the statement madu by Spiesas to his ticatmont when taken before Super-intendent

¬

Kbersold was untiuu. A long dis-cussion

¬

then followed as to the order inwhich speeches should be made to the jury-

.It.

was finally decided that Assistant StatesAttorney Walker should open for thestate , to bo followed by Zeisieifor the defense. Ingliam willfollow for the state , and he will bo fol-lowed

¬

by Foster and Black for the defense ,Grinnell closing the case foi the state. Mr.Walker began by stating that In this republicall men stood equal before the law , and whenthe perpetrator ot any crime stood before thebar for trial , the Goddess of Justice was in-

dited¬

blind until his guilt had been proven ,

no matter whether he was a socialist or an-anarchist. . The very law which hohad desired to "throttle" now stoodas his piotector until his guilt was shown ,

and In tills case proof had made the defend-ants

¬

guilty bovond a shadow of a doubt.The speaker next called the attention of thejury to the definition of a "reasonable-doubt" Ho quoted numerous authorities to-deline the crime of murder , and quoted toshow that any one who aided , assisted or on-comaged

-a murder should be deemed guilty

and punished accordingly , and whether thepiinclpal is puuWied befoie or atter or notpunished at all. those who assisted , aided orencouraged were equally guilty , andshould uo deemed guilty ol minder.-He

.then quoted from tno speech of

Solomon ot the defense , In which the lattersaid if tno defendants were guilty of couscir-acy

-, convict them of conspiracy but not of-

mm dor. Ue timber quoted tiom Solomon'ssutecli , In which the latter asked : "Have-thev muidcred many people ?" Mr. Walkersaid only seven men had been nuirdcicd andsome sixty wounded , and vet tlio counselasked if they had .muidiued many people.The speaker iald but for tlio heioisiu-

J&fUieJoHcd6u Way 4 , many would havebeen inuidered , and a social revolution forwhich tliO'doldndants' admit that they boughtdynamite and aims , would have oeen ac-complished.

¬

. These men formed a conspir-acy

¬

, the lesult ot which was the throwing of-tnu bomb and the death of Matthias J. Dee-gan.

-. "The punishment foi minder , " said

tlio speaker , "is death."Continuing his succch at the opening of-

tlio afternoon session , Mr. Walker definedthe law ol the state in i elation to accesioiies ,

and said the conviction of any ono of thedefendants was nulhoilred by the law thoughho was not piesent at the place of commis-sion

¬

ot the crime , nor had ever agreed thatthe crime was to have been commuted at thattime. The fact that he had advised or eu-couiaged

-the commission of such crime ,

through a speech at public meetings orthrough published articles or private conver-sations

¬

, made him an ncccssoiv. Walkerspoke with contempt of tlio eflorts of ceitalndefendants to base their hopes of acquittalunon tliopiouud tliat they were not piesent-at tlio Haymarket when the bomb wasthrown , and them as the lead-ers

¬

in the conspiracy to commit wholesalemurder. lip then lead trom Most's Instruc-tions

¬

to the defendants on the witness standadvising them first to save themselves.-If

.possible , for "future deeds , " and

If that pioved impossible , to use their posi-tion

¬

in thu w itncss chair to teach the princi-ples

¬

ot revolution. "This. " said the speaker ,"was the course followed bj 1aisons. Find ¬

ing no loophole tor escape he turned the wit-ness

¬

stand Into the stool of piopaganda. "Walker w as rewarded with a muimnrof

applause from the audience when he re-ferred

¬

to Spies' speech at Giaud llapldson-Washington's blithday. Said the speaker :

"Spies compared himself to ( ieoigo Washing ¬

ton. Ho said time will bo a i evolution in1880 when the eight-hour movement i cachesIts culmination. George Washington ledthe revolution. If he had tailed ho wouldhave been punished. If 1 fail 1 will bo pun ¬

ished. They aie known by numbers and notby names , and any one can join oy applicat-ion.

¬

. "Walker then icad from the testimony of

Witness Wilkinson , who swore that Spiestold him the lovolution would occcur-on the 1st of May or about thattime. "Does not this , " asked tlio speaker ,"look like conspliacvV'1 Walker devotedsome time to an editorial iiitlclo In theAhum , which closed vtlth the woids : "Thosocial war has come. Whoever is not withns is against us. " "Does this look like con-pnliaiyV

-, asked the speaker. "The editoi of

-bioUo awav and Joined In the riot In

which several peisons weio killed andwounded. "Then , " said the speaker , "Spiescame back to the Arbciter Xeilung, believingthat ho ban 8,000 new converts at his back ,

and wrotuthu editorial containing the woids ,

'Had they been provided with good weaponsand ono djnamltubomb , not ono of the mur-derers
