In a Critical Condition. Berlin, Nov. 10. It Is officially announced that the consultations of physicians at Sau Remo have not removed the fears concerning the crown prince's complaint recently expressed by Dr. Mackenzie.

Flual decision regarding the further treatment of the patient has been postponed until after a microscopic examination of a portion of the growth. London, Nov. 10. A dispatch to the Lancet from Sau Remo savs a portion of the growth In the crown prince's throat will probably be sent to Prof. Virchow for examination.

It also says that owing to the presence of a slight oedema in the orifice of the larynx, an operation there at present will be Impossible. A dispatch from San Remo says that Dr. Mackenzie admits that the growth iu the crown prince's throat is a cancer and deprecates an operation, which be declares will be both useless aud dangerous. The crown prince also opposes an operation. This dispatch also savs the crown prince will return to Berlin forthwith.

J. Oglesby," Governor. "nENRT D. Dement, Secretary of State." NO CHEAT SURPRISE FELT. The announcement of the governor's decision in the anarchist cases spread like wildfire this evening and the greatest excitement naturally prevailed.

Much speculation had been indulged In during the day, aud since noon the Impression had been prevalent that the sentence of Fielden and Schwab would be commuted and possibly that of Spies or Far-sons. The decision cannot be said to have been by any means a surprise here, and it is no exaggeration to say that the governor's action meets with general approval. After the public announcement of the decision, the governor remained in his study at the mansion and was engaged this evening in considering the great volume of general public business which had accumulated while the all absorbing pardon case was pending. He was evidently giving no heed whatever to the great number of threatening letters he has received, as the lights shine brightly from the wjndows of the executive mansion and everything had a wonted appearance. Four policemen however, kept close lookout, around the mansion and will doubtless continue to do so nightly until some time after the execution of the condemned men.

ANARCH STS FRIENDS SILENT. Of the four or five of the anachists' friends who remained In the city over to-day, all but one or two left on the 9 o'clock traiu for Chicago Immediately after receiving the news of the governor's decision. Representative Rollback aud President Oliver of the amnesty association were first imformed of the decision immediately after its announcement, and expressed great astonishment that more of the condemned men had not received clemency. They could hardly credit the Dews, and, when emphatically luformed of Its authenticity, appeared downcast and refused at once to express any further opinion on the subject George Schilling expressed mingled disappointment and disgust on hearing the news, but prudently abstained from any forcible expressions of opinion. His chagrin was more apparent lu his actions than in his words, and he, too, after fully appreciating the Import of the intelligence, leaped into a stubbornly uncommunicative state.

The last of the anarchists' friends left for Chicago on the midnight train. It was learned at a late hour to-night that Captain Black wired Schilling to remain In Springfield as he (Black) would arrive there iu the morning at 0:30 to appear before the governor and urge a stay In the execution of Parsons on the ground that the latter was insane and bad been for many months and was not responsible for his acts. He will also make a plea for Spies, and in fact for all the condemned men. Certain it is that Black will arrive here in the morning and that Schilling has remaiued over to meet him and join in the plea to the governor. Schilling was approached late to-night but positively refused to be interviewed or answer any questions whatever relating to the subject.

A bulletin telegraphed from San Remo to the official Gazette, by an aid-de-camp at the lequest of the crown prince setting forth the condltlou of the prince, has awakened general sorrow aud sympathy. It Is feared the anxiety caused by the crown prince's illness will retard the emperor's recovery. The empress is greatly distressed over the condition of her husband and son.

The four non-partisan judges in this district, the third, have been elected by majorities ranging from 200 to 200 In the county of Douglass a light vote was cast, owing largely to the heavy rainfall in the afternoon.

The republicans elect the sheriff, treasurer, clerk of the court, surveyor and very likely the three commissioners. The other offices, county clerk, recorder, coroner aud superiuteudant of schools, are In doubt. OREGON. Portland, Nov. 8.

The vote Is light in the interior, all interest centering in prohibition. The vote In this city was full.

St. Paul, Nov. 8 The election in Dakota to-day was for the purpose of voting tor or against the division of the territory on the 46th parallel and iii counties where an election bad been called by petitiou to the county commissioners the question of local option was voted upon. Returns at midnight from twenty counties show a generally light vote on the question of division with the probabilities that the majority In favor iu the whole territory will be about 10,000. In the Black Hills the auti-divlsionists refrained from voting, and the vote for division was small.

Brown and other central Dakota counties will be almost solid against division. Burleigh and other counties around Bismarck also go solid against division. Cass county, of which Fargo is the county seat, gives about 1,000 majority against division. Graud Forks county gives a like majority for division. In iiorth Dakota, as a whole, the majority for division, if probably be small, but south Dakota goes solidly for division.

On the question of license vs. prohibition, the counties containing the largest towns like Fargo and Grand Forks go for license, but of the whole vote cast prohibition will probably get a small majority. MICHIGAN. Detroit, Nov. 8.

It seems that the same parties who enticed him there were watching for hlm-at the close of the performance. He was met by a man and told that some one wished to see him down the street The result was that he appeared at the police station shortly after midnight In a somewhat dilapidated condition, and reported that he had been robbed of all that he had about $65 and had been thrown from the embankment near First and Grand avenue. He bad received several bruises ou the head, and has probably been hurt internally. His wounds were atteuded to and a couch furnished him for the night at the station.

The losses by fire during the month of October in the United States and Canada amounted to $9,769,825, being considerably less than those of the corresponding month of last year. The total loss from the same cause for the-first ten months of the present year is given as against $95,400,000 for the-correspouding period in 1886. The extraordinary efforts made by the friends of the condemned anarchists to induce-the governor to interfere in their behalf has excited a hostile spirit throughout the country, and protests against the commutation of the death sentence are pouring in from all sides.

The governor still continues to receive many threatening which he treats with the contempt they deserve. It is said, that if be refuses to interfere with the sentence the anarchists' attorney will make application for a writ of habeas corpus to have-them set free.

Louis Lingg, the bomb maker, committed suicide this morning by means of a fulminating cap, which he held in his mouth aud lit with a candle, in bis cell In the county jail. How he secured the fulminate with which the deed was committed is still a mystery, as Lis cell aud clothing were thoroughly searched yesterday, and to all appearances the guards that eat Iu front of his cell watched him every minute.

He bad always been regarded as the most desperate anarchist of the lot. It was he who manufactured the bombs for the baymarket riot, aud Iu whose cell the bombs were fouud last Sunday. The explosion was the first warning which the jail people bad, as the guard, seeiug him with the candle in his band, supposed that he was lighting a cigar. From the effects of the explosion half of his head was torn away. Immediately lifter the explosion, Deputy O'Nlel rushed luto Llnirg's cell, which was completely enveloped in smoke.

There he found the young auarchist lying on his back with great holes iu his head from which the blood was rushing In torrents. He was at once carried into the jail office aud placed on a table. He was still breathing faintly, and while Dr. Gray was examining hiin, he coughed slightly, and the blood poured forth again from his terrible wounds and from his mouth and nose. The physiciau said the man could only live an hour or so at the most, aud he expected to die at any moment.

After a while Jailer Folz made an examination of the cell. On the iloor lie found the shell of a fulminating cap. The sheriff said there had undoubtedly bceu dynamite in it. The supposition that Lingg put the shell in his mouth and deliberately applied a candle flame is undoubtedly correct. The explosion was terrific.

It startled the ofllclals, who thought it was a bomb, so great was the noise. The shell was so small as to have allowed the smuggling of it into the jail without trouble. At Dr. Gray made a further examination and found that the tissues of the throat, the neck and front of the jaw had been torn away. He ndminlstcred stimulants, but they failed to rouse the man.

Lingg's breathing gradually became slower. The palor on the forehead deepened. A slight glaze was noticed in the now sunken eyes. Some one said "lie Is dying," and the reporters made ready for a rush to the nearest telephone. Lineg's big breast heaved ouce and was still.

His eyes looked straight ahead, with something of their old brightness, but at a whisper from the doctor, the reporters dashed to the telephone, fulling over one another down the narrow stairway to the courtyard, In their efforts to tell the news first. VVhil'i the roporters were tumbling aud running, the' doctor raised Lingg's right arm. It fell back on the table limp. An attendant's right and left forefingers were laid on Lingg's forehead and pushed the eyelids shut In a moment the little room was empty of all but the ghastly corpse of the bombmaker, Louis Liugg. The Governor's Decision.

Springfield. Nov. 10. The decision of the governor iu the anarchists' cases was announced in front of the mansion at 7 o'clock to-night by' his private secretary. By Its terms Fielden and Schwab have their sentences commuted to imprisonment for life, but the rest are denied clemency aud thus, Spies, Fischer, Parsons and Eugel will be executed to morrow in Chicago.

The following is the governor's decision in full: "State op Illinois, Executive Office, Springfield, Nov. 10, 1887. On August 20, 1886, in the Cook county criminal court, August Spies, Albert R. Parsons, Samuel Fielden, Michael 8chwab, Adolph Fischer, George Engel and Louis Lingg wero found guilty by. the verdict of the jury and afterward sentenced to be hanged for the murder of Matthias J.

Degan. An appeal was taken from such finding and eentenco to the supreme court ot the stato. That court upon a final hearing and after much deliberation, unanimously affirmed the judgment of the court below. The case now comes before me by petition of the defendants for consideration art 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 and protesting In the strongest language against mercy or commutation of the sentence pronounced against them, can be considered petitions, pardon, could it be granted, which might imoly any guilt whatever upon the part of either of them, would not be such a vindication as they demand.

THE JURY'S VERDICT RIGHT. Executive Intervention upon the grounds insisted upou by the four above-named persons could lu 110 sense be deemed an exercise of the constitutional power to graut reprieves, commutations and pardons unless based upou the belief ou my part of their entire innocence of the crime of which they stand convicted. A careful consideration of the evidence Iu the record of the trial of the parties, as well as of, all alleged and claimed for them outsido of the record, has failed to produce upon my mlud any Impression tending to impeach the verdict of (he jury or the judgment of the trial court or of the supreme court affirming too guilt of all these parties. Satisfied, therefore, as I am of their guilt, I am precluded considering the question of commutation of the sentences of Albert R. Parsons, Adolph Fischer, George Eugel and Louis Lingg to Imprisonment in the penitentiary, as they emphatically declare they will not accept such commutation.

Samuel Fielden, Michael Schwab and August Spies unite in a petition for 'executive clemency Fielden and Schwab, In addition, present separate and supplementary petitions for the commutation ot their sentences. FOCH OP THEM MUST IIANO. ''While, as said above, I am satisfied of the guilt ot the parties, as found by the verdict of the jury, which was sustained by the judgments of the courts, a most careful consideration of the whole subject leads me to the conclusion that the sentence of the law as to Samuel Fielden and Michael Schwab may be moilllled as to each of them in tlio interest of humanity and without doing violence to public iuMce. And as to the said Samuel Piemen and Michael Schwab the sentence is commuted to Imprisonment In the penitentiary for life. As to all the other named defendants I do not feel jusltllled lu Interfering with the sentence of the court.

"While I would gladly have come to a different conclusion in regard to the sentence of defendants August Spies, Adolph Fischer, Georgo Engel, Albert R. Parsons and Louis Lingg, 1 regret to say that under a solemn sense of the obligations of my office I have been uuablo to do so. "Richard J. Onucsnv, Governor." this commutation oilmen.

Bank Examiner Herman made some startling discoveries today, which caused him to have Cashier C. C. Crecelius arrested on the charge of false entry. It Is reported that on the books the figures of more than fifteen eutrles have been changed. It is further charged that on two occasions his reports to the bank directors were false.

It appears that he was interested in five concerns for which the bank was carrying in sums ranging from $50,000 to He was taken before a United States commissioner, waived a preliminary hearing, and a bond of $25,000 was required. The false entries consisted in increasing the statement of cash ou hand iu each case by $100,000 In anticipation of visits from the bank examiner. Ihe item of loans and discounts was then decreased by $100,000 to make the footings correct. It appears the bank was honey-combed with fraud, as large overloaus were made to lumber and planing mill companies, iu which Crecelius was Interested, and a coterie of merchants were systematic borrowers. Ex-Mayor Overstolz, president of the bank, was reported dead at 4 o'clock this afternoon, but at a late hour to-night was still alive, though unconscious.

When asked if the prisoner could be seen, the bank examiner said: "What do you want with the statement of a criminal like him? He will be Indicted by the next grand jury and will go to the penitentiary, and to prove tho assertion, he explained how frauds had been committed by increasing the statement of cash ou hand In daily statements by $100,000, and decreasing the loans and Is-counts by $100,000. In uearly every case the figure 1 was neatly changed to a 2. In somo cases the figures and 9 were carelessly done In such a bold manner as to indicate a purely clerical error, hastly corrected. These changes were apparently made some time before a statement was expected, notably lu April and August. Mr.

Foreman stated that money was loaned to the Meyer lumber company uuder four or five different names aggregating about Date of the last loan wus October 81, $33,000. Goldsmith Co. were loaned about $100,000 of the amounts. Somo of the directors say they never knew anything, having accepted the cashiers' sworn statement. The examiner could not say whether the loans were secured or not as be did not know the value ot lumber or hides.

At the last examination he had notified the comptroller that the bank was overloauiiig and notice was at once returned ordering a decrease iu the loans. The directors apparently knew little or nothing about the affairs of the bank. Joseph Specht savs the statements made to the directors were false and that whenever he went to the bank everything was put out of the way. In the cashier's last statement, October 5, he gave the overdrafts as $2,000, and they were $53,000. Iu fact, the Fifth national bank was In a falling condition five years ago.

President Henry Ovcratoltz and Cashier Crecelius managed the affairs of the bank, and until Overstoltz became sick no one else had anything to do with them. Spoiled by Bad Weather. London, Nov. 9. The lord mayor's procession to-day was of the tamest description.

Chicago's Military Camp, Chicago, Nov. 8. For tho first time in thirty-two years Chicago has a military camp-Two companies of the Sixth United States infantry under command of Major Lyster arrived at Mehwood at 10:30 this morning, hav-iug traveled 1,835 miles within the last four days.

The troops were marched to the government track and In less than an hour United States Hags wero run up and Camp lllghwood was a thing in fact Tho soldiers are veterans and have been engaged in all sorts of fighting and of course their principal service bus been against tlio Indians.
