Chicago, May 15. The central sta

for Parsons, the fugitive anarchist, to
show himself in any city of consequence
in the country without being arrested,
and now they are engaged in supplying
minor discrepancies in the evidence
which will go to prove the guilt of the
chief conspirator. Yesterday the new
lessee of thebuildinaNo. 107. Fifth Ave..
in cleaning up the late headquarters Of

which make interesting reading! These

by Parsons in bis paper, the Alarm,
and it concluded with the exclamation
"Vive la Commune!" ;The writer, Ju
niusA. Strickland, of Durham, ;N. Oi.
had first signed bis name, but afterward
scratohed it out and substituted,' f'Don't

He requested thafhis communication

On a scrap of paper written on a let

The superintendent of the powder
company says he nad not supplied espies

for them to have obtained dynamite or

THI GIFTS Or SCI8NC1 DURING THIS LAST
HALT CXNTURT.
i Prof. Huxley's address to the Royal
Society: "The first railway; for locomo
tives, which was constructed between
Stockton and Darlington, was opened in
September, 1825, so that I have the
doubtful advantage of about four
mouths' seniority over the ancestral
representative of the vast reticulated
fetching and carrying orginisui whioh
now extends its meshes over the civilised
world. I I confess it fills me with aston
ishment to think that the time when no
4nau could travel faster than horses
could transport him, when our means
of locomotion were no better than those
of Achilles and Ramses Mainun, lies
'within my memory. The electric
telegraph, as a thing for practical use
is far my junior, do are arms of pre
cision, unless the old rifle be regarded
as Such. Again, the application to hy
gienoe, and to the medical and surgical
treatment of men and animals, j of
our knowledge of the phenomena of par
asitism, and the very discovery of the
true order of these phenomena, is a long
way within the oompass of my personal
xnowieage. n u unnecessary for; me
to enumerate more than these four of
the rich gifts made by soienoe to man
kind during the past sixty vears. Ar
resting the survey here. I wouk' ask
there is anv ! eorreenondins! period in
previous history which ess tike credit
for so many momentous applications of
scientific knowledge to the wants of
mankind. Each of these four applica-J
tions of science has exerted a prodigious
influence on the moral, social and polit
ical relations of mankind, and such in
fluence can only increase as time goes
on. If the senseless antipathies, born
of isolation, which formerly opnverted
neighbors, whether they belonged to
adjacent families or to adjacent nations,
into natural enemies, are dying away
improved means of communication de
serve the chief credit of the : change: if
war becomes less frequent it will be
cliiifly because its horrors are being in
tensifaed beyond bearing by the olose in
terdependence and community of inter
est thus established between the nations,
no less than by the improvement of the
means of destruction by scientific inven
tion. Arms of precision have taken the
mastery of the world out of the hands
of brute force and given it to : industry
and Intelligence. If railways and elec
tric telegraphs have rendered it unnec
Cssary that modern empires should fall
to pieces by their own weight, as an-
cent empires did, arms of precision
have provided against the possibility of
their being swept away by barbarous
invasions. Health meabs not merely
