KNIGHT8 OF LABOR LIKETY TO Loitdon, Not. 1ft—The Marquis of Salisbury, in his speech at the lord mayor's banquot in the Guildhall, said the Conservative party occupied a position in Irish affairs which it was impossible to misinterpret. Thoir business was to accomplish legislation favorable to the integrity of the empire and to enforce laws which had been neglected and trodden under foot Although the Conservatives had been but a short time in power, thev could legitimately claim that public coniidenco was already considerably restored, and that the rc ations between landlord and tenant were much improved. New York, Nov. 10.—The prospects are lhat Liberty will not have a light in her torch for at least a month, and -it is possible that she will never more have moro than a beacon light She is to be classed as a beacon, and as such the money to light her must come from, the general appropriation to the lighthouse board, who will not pay for extra lights to beautify the pedestal or statue. Gen. Schofleld said that if any one made an application to him, indorsed by the American committee, for permission to run the lights until the government should undertake it, he would at once forward the application tofhe war department with his ovn recom-* mendation that it be considered favorably. It would probably -take two weeks for the department to act on such an application. He should indorse no application for people who simply wanted an advertisement He would not indorse Mr. GofTs offer unless Mr. Goff agreed to run the lights as they are, and not to experiment on the arrangement without the co-operatiAl of some member of the lighthouse board. "I gave an electrio plant worth 97,000 not for an advertisement, but because I wanted to give something," said Mr. Goff, "and now I offer to run the light at my own expense and to the satisfaction of the people. I think I have earned the privilege of fixing the lights the way they should be fixed. I do not care to undertake it in conjunction with Lieut MUlis." in the Government. Pittsburg, Nov. la—Fire is eating its way through acres of coal land in Westmoreland county. The Standard mine, the largent individual plant there, was sold to the Frick company several years pgo for (800,000. It includes 1,900 acres of land, 573 coke ovens, and employ* over 700 men.

New York, Nov. 10.—Two bareheaded and barefooted men, wearing trouaer* and sliirts, and wrapped up In blankets that trailed along the sidewalk, walked down Seventh avenue yesterday morning and were halted by Policeman McGinley. They wen too bennmbed by the cold to offer any resistance to arrest. McGinley had never had such a pair of prisoners before, and ho was not surprised when he found out that they had escaped from Blackwell's Island Insane asylum. Atlanta, Nov. 10.—Gon. John B. Gordon, was sworn in as governor of Georgia yesterday. There was a military display, in which twenty-one companies of militia participated. Gen. Gordon's inaugural address, which was an appeal for states rights agitation, is looked upon as a platform for future campaigns. He said in part: For defence against the outside world, our nation is simply omnipotent. Thore is no room for apprehension, that the general government wi)l ever lose its constitutional vigor or power of self-preservation. The danger is that the states may lose theirs by gradual accretions to Federal power and Imperceptible absorption of state functions. CmcAOO, Nov. 10.— Everything ta quiet at the stock yards. The railroads are helping the packers in every way, as the speedy gloee of the strike is of the greatest possible moment to them. All the roads coming ia here are offering to bring workmen hore and to return them free of charge in case they are dissatisfied. At Armour's downtown ofllces about fifty men were awaiting transportation to the houses at the yards. Manager Cudahy said he had fully 1,000 men at work, and was getting along all. tight. There were about the same number employed at Swift's. Craig & Fleming have also a number of men at work, and with the 850 at Morris' and some smaller houses there are between 4,000 and 5,000 men at work, many old hands. mine has been fiercely. A number of mining experts have vainly tried various plans to subdue the flames. The fire has already penetrated a gas farm and is working its way beneath the township of Mount Pleasant A scheme is now under consideration to drill a ten inch hole at the further end of the gas farm heading for the purpose of flooding the mine. The main danger is from fire damn. The flames are working toward exhausted coal cells which have been abandoned and closed on account of the gas. The Are is creeping slowly that way, and a terrible gas explosion is feared. The foreign policy of the government, Lord Salisbury said, was highly important, especially with reference to Egypt England, he declared, was bound to accomplish her work in Egypt by pledges so distinct and binding that she could not possibly retreat until that country was made secure against foreign oppression and domestic order was restored. They were Bernard McLaughlin and Cornelius Bnright Each insisted that ho was not insane, and said that he had escaped from the asylum because, he was entitled tf liberty. Referring to the situation in the oast, Lord Salisbury's language was extremely diplomatic. The menacing attitude toward Bulgaria which had been assumed by a European state, he said, bad caused the deepest regret. A midnight conspiracy led by men who had been debauched with foreign gold had hunted Prince Alexander, of Battenburf| from the throne of Bulgaria, and by doing so had outraged the conscience and sentiment of all Europe. The Injustice of this act was aggravated by the (act that foreign diplomacy had interposed to nave the lives and obtain the liberty of the conspirators. • The momentous events of our recent history have served to dwarf, in the estimation of the people, the importance of the states. It is the transparent purpose of certain leaders of public opinion to curtail the legitimate congressional representation of some of the states upon the unjust and untruthful assumption that large bodies of citizens are debaiTed the right and freedom of an elective franchise. But an infinitely greater danger to our future is yet to be mentioned. The greatest of all dangers lurks in the silent bat certain growth of a sentiment for stronger central government. It is a sentiment which not only acquiesces in the diminution of state powers, but demands a stronger and yet stronger government at Washington in proportion to our material advancement. In Yorkville court McLaughlin made a peech in Enright's and his own defence. He old a reporter in an intelligent manner how le and Enrlght had managed to escape. They occupied a cell in the main building on the second floor. They discovered that the Iron crossbar of the window was loose. On Monday night, between 10 and 11 o'clock, they threw up their window, and together they wrenched off the bar. With this piece of iron they twisted the remaining bars until there waaxoun for them to crawl through. They made a rope of two blankets and let themselves down. Enright was last down, and he left the upper blanket barely knotted to the window bar, so that they could pull the blankets down after them. He made the knot too loose, and the blankets came down with him. He hurt one of his legs. They wrapped the blankets over their shoulders and hurried to the farm yard on the west shore of the island. There they found some lumber and built a raft. They drifted half way across the river, and then the tide broke their raft to pieces. They swam back to the island and landed opposite Seventy-second street. They skulked along the west shore to the dock in front of the Emigration hospital on Ward's island, and found a rowboat In this they crossed the river to One Hundred and Tenth street, struck through One Hundred and Tenth street to Central park, walked through the park and came out at Fifty-ninth street and Fifth avenue. They were bound for New Jersey, to get out of th' jurisdiction of the supreme court when they met the policeman. "Do I look insane?" asked McLaughlin. "I guess not. My mother-in-law is to blame for this. She quarreled with me. I got drunk. She sent me to Bellevue as an Inebriate four weeks ago last Thursday, and I landed on Black well's island. I'm 81 years oM. My wife and two children live at 161 Front street, Brooklyn. I'm a carpenter and stair maker. I was a member of the union until three months ago, when I was dismissed for ' being drank. I'm a member of the Irish- American Blaine Independents. I wrote a latter the other day to CoL Michael Boland to get me out. I ended the letter: 'Object, liberty.' The doctors stopped the letter." Eight hundred men have been thrown out of work by the disaster. The majority of the strikers seem to rejoice over the resolutions ogainsttheKnights of Labor that have been adopted by the packers. "I think we wire in the Wrong when this last strike was ordered," said one of the leaders, "but the paokors by their outlawry resolutions have put us in the right The general assembly of the Knights could not consistently take up our fight, but from this on they will be bound to do battle for us. The order has been attacked, and every officer and member must stand up for us." Montreal, Not. 10.—In the proceedings for the extradition of Hokas, the embezzling Peoria bank bookkeeper, Assistant Cashier Ely, of the bank, testified that Hokes filled in and negotiated hlank drafts signed by the cashier. Hokes' lawyer threatens to have the American detectives Who arrested the defaulter indicted for conspiracy on the ground that they worked up the case on speculation and without authority from the bank. This is a crime under Canadian law. Hokes' Tata Being Tested. A man called mi Mr. Butler, of the oommittee, yesterday and offered to pay (or the lighting for a week, and Mr. Butler sent him to Gen. Bchofleld. The rights of Bulgaria were assured by the treaty of Berlin, upon which, Lord Salisbury asserted, the salvation of Europe depended. English interests, he declared, were by no means isolated, and if a majority of the ponders signatory of the Berlin treaty recognized their duty to inforoe the terms of that treaty. England would co-operate with them. England could not, however, accept the responsibility of isolated action. The policy of the government respecting eastern affairs had been shaped to harmonize with that of Austria, and the government trusted that the peace of Europe would remain undisturbed.

Story From Loilirllk, the Borne of JToe "I dont know," he replied, "bat I think he will, and if he does not he win send along several of his most trusted lieutenants.

Louisville, Nov. 10.—John Dewberry, a saloon keeper, died in August last Hi* saloon was told in the settlement of the estate. Mrs. Dewberry has been living in another part of the city. She entered the saloon and asked the man behind the bar counter far permission to visit the baok yard. She then passed through the saloon to a dark passage in the rear. Going to one corner she scraped the dnst away with her hand, and from under a piece of sheet iron drew forth a small bag. She then told the saloon keeper that for some time she had been dreaming of lost money, and last night she was awakened from her slumbers by hearing her name called. She recognized the voice as that of her husband. She opened her eyes and beheld his familiar features. He-told her of the hiding of this money, which he had been prevented from revealing to her in the flesh because of delirium. He then vanished. , , Mrs. Dewberry, on finishing her story, handed to the saloon keeper a small bag, and asked him to examine the contents, as her nerves were too much uniitrung for her to do anything. He did as directed, and foqpd in the bag twelve $20 gold ptoces. Mnthattan. The Dead Jockey'/ Estate. There are those who hear me whoee children will see this great oountry with perhaps hall a hundred states and 200,000,000 ot people. Upon it* rait domain, densely populated, will spring multiplied industries, with diverse claims and conflicting interests. The Pacific states, the Atlantic states, the Gull states, the middle states, the eastern states, and the great west will demand through their respective representatives, and with increased earnestness, legislation at Washington (riendlj to their respective interests and consonant with their varied theories. Great social, economic aad class problems will press lor solution with resistless urgency. London, Nov. 10.—The coroner's inquest held on the body ot the dead jockey, Fred Archer, elicited, beyond question, the fact that he had met with no betting losses that would have caused aberration ol mind, and rred that his derangement was brought on typhoid lever aggravated by weakness, resulting tram the extreme regimen observed by the deceased in order to reduce his weight. It is reported that Archer's estate will realise $1,250,000. "Tho nerve—the inconsistency—of the packers, rich, all of them, and well able to take care of themselves, forming a powerful organization themselves, and solemnly declaring that poor men with families shall not have the right to combine for their self-protection! This thing would be laughable if it were not serious. Thousands of men win starve before they will agree to the humiliating conditions forced upon them. The packers are good union man, and I am glad itojee they are proud of it, bat they seem to tthink that mechanics who follow ihe worthy example which they themselves have set are unfit to live. I have hofe that the employers will appreciate the indefensible position which they have assumed smd settle this important difficulty by arbitration, and I think that if Powderly himself comes here that will be the outcome of what threatens just now to become a serious war between employers and employes." BURGLARS tAPTUREO. Desperate Struggle with the Polioe In an Illinois Town. Decatur, Ills., Nov. 10.—Three police office! s had a desperate encounter with two professional burglars in the business part of the city'lost night. Two residences had been robbed within two nights, and the policemen were in search of the thieves. They came across two fellows with a heavy sachel in their possession. They were told to go along to jail, when both pulled their revolvers and began firing at the officers. The fire was returned, and thirteen or fourteen shots were exchanged without damage to either side. Robert Jones, one of the burglars, was captured after a desperi.te Struggle, but the other man, who is believed to have been wounded, made good his escape. The sachel contained a complete outfit of burglars'tools. The men are believed to be escaped convicts wanted in the east New York, Nov. 10.—It is understood that the trustees jot the East River bridge have concluded to make the bridge free lor loot passengers, as the revenue from that souioe at the present rate of toll is only $18,777 per year, while the expense ot toll takers, tickets, boxes, etc., is $40,791 per yeac. The wagonway and oars are a source of profitable revenue.Oasts Mare than the Revenue. The great problem ol our future is to secure stability amid new and great perils and yet save liberty. Two roads are open, one toward centralization, the other toward local adjustments. The one or the other will be chosen by the 'people, and must be chosen quickly. Let it be admitted that the plan ol increased central power at Washington would give (.table government, vigorous social institutions, aad public order. But let it also be remembered that these are leas than bait the blessings promised by the founders of this republic. Stability is essential, but stability through progressive accretions to federal power must end at last in absolutism or centralization. Stability thus secured is the death of our duplex system. It is the destruction ot state independence. It is the doom of free government in America. There is one way, and one way only, to secure in our momentous future both stability and liberty. That way is to depend, as perils increase, more and more upon the Mates and to trust more to local adjustment. Our greatest safety, pro- WASHiNOTOir, Nov. 10. — Carroll D. Wright's report for the bureau of labor on strikes and ooavict labor is nearly completed, and work has actively begun on three subjects to be embraced in next year's report— the employment ot women in cities, production and distribution in the United States, and the relations at railroads to their empkDy«« To Report an Strikes. The first excitement at the stock yards occurred when word was sent to the headquarters of the deputy sheriffs that their servioes were needed at Forty-second and Ashland avenue. Fifty dsputtss immediately hurried tf lbs place, and were quickly followed by four companies of militia Water Famine In Watertraiy. Waterbury, Conn., Nov. 10.—By the breaking of the main which supplies this city from the reservoir* all the water is shut off from the city. It was promised that the repairs should be completed by morning, so no extra supplies of water were laid in. Now the city is in the midst of a water famine. Large manufacturing concerns that have no wells of their own have had to shut down. In households there is neither cooking nor washing, and people shun each other on the street because their faces and hands are so soiled. Beer saloons even can furnish little liquid refreshment There is the greatest consternation among business man, as in case of fire there would be no supply to draw from. The breaks in the main are much more extensive than expected, and it is not known when the repairs will be completed. An investigation was made and it was found that four deputies who had been left to patrol an alley in the vicinity had been fired on by some unknown parties. The fire was returned, but the aggressors escaped. Keport on Indian Edaoatiop. Wabhikqton, Nov. 10.—Superintendent of Indian Schools Riley has returned from a visit to the reservations in the west and southwest, and makes an encouraging report as to the success of the educational branch of the Indian bureau the past year. The increase in attendance has been very large, and a number of new schools have been opened. Upon the general plan of Indian education he says: "lam satisfied that the rudiments of English education are what we should confine ourselves to in this matter, and that beyond that we cannot successfully go. We cannot teach Indian boys agriculture successfully at either Hampton or Carlisle, for the agriculture of Virginia and Pennsylvania is so vastly different from that of Dakota and Arizona that it serves no purpose. Higher education we have found to be practically valueless." Mr. Riley is rather of the opinion that the schools at Carlisle and Hampton could be closed without detriment to the cause of Indian education. "Why did yon try to escape?" the reporter asked McLaughlin. Drraorr, Nov. 10.—Complaint has been made to District Attorney Black of open election frauds at Tensing, the complainants professing to have incontrovertible proofs. The United States grand jury has brought in thirty indictments, and alter they have been disposed ol the election frauds alleged in this city and Lansing will be taken up. Alleged Election Frauds. "Principally on account of the grab. IH bet my three meals a day did'nt cost the city •even cents." The presence of the militia in the stockyards U baring a salutary affect upon the jno.e turbulent characters of the striking butchers. The militia was deployed on all the adjacent thoroughfares, and formed a complete cordon about the yards for the purpose of protecting men going to work. In consequence of these precautions there were IUD cases reported of "slugging" non-union rfken in the Town of Lake, although the strikers were out in great force on the -Streets, standing around in the rain discassing the important movement they had entered upon. They rented their wrath by calling the non-unionists hard names and occasionally hurling an obnoxious word at the militia and polio*. Employe* of the packing £ousss who live in the city were unfortunately unprotected while going to work, and several of them were assaulted by the Strikers before they oould reach the militia lines. Three men were severely beaten before the polios could rescue them from the mob. The leaders of the mob were not arrested, although the polios hpnted for them high and low. A detail from the First cavalry regiment went on at the yards yesterday. This comes of a demand to have on the ground a troop of mounted men, for the purpose of putting a stop to desultory depredations that am constantly being committed by men who manage ltd escape before they can be arrested. New span to take the places of the strikers havs Arrived in considerable numbers, and large tgangs are expected Thursday. . From present Appearances there is no prospect of an immediate termination of the strike. Eoright was leas talkative. He said that he was 25 years old, and that before he was sent to the island he was a truck driver and a cab driver and a good many other things. When he was asked why he ran away he answered: gre«B, permanence and freedom lie In the direction of enlarged local administration. The freest government is that which is most controlled by homogeneous communities; and the strongest government for a country like ours is that which devolves upon states the largest, responsibilities. As population becomes dense, as industries multiply, as interests conflict, as creeds clash and the discord of jarring theories increases over this widely extended country, the mora and more difficult will become the problem of government through central administration at Washington, and the greater wit? be the necessity for intrusting to the states all questions with which they may constitutionally deal. An Old Detective Gone. "I thought that I could be more comfortable somewhere else." Nrw Tom, Nov. 10.—George Elder, one of the oldest and best known detectives, died of aneurism at the heart. He had been connected with many important casss, among others that of Adams, the Concord bank robber. Of late be has been in the employ of Tiffany as private detective.

They brought along fresh suits of clothes and certificates of lunacy. The Seceding Mew York Cotton Men. New Orleahs, Nov. 10.—The announcement-made fay the New York Cotton Exchange of its intention to withdraw from the National Cotton Exchange at the end of the commercial year caused excitement in commercial circles. President Walmsley, of the National Exchange, did not think it was a matter of much Importance. New York had determined, he said, some time ago to withdraw from the exchange. Some of the brokers feared that unless the matter could be adjusted it would result in the disruption of the Nationul Exchange, which is supported almost wholly by New York and New Orleans. The difficulty arose from the standard types fixed by the experts, which are very unsattfactory to New York cotton men. EnrigUt's delusion, the certificate said, was that he was boycotted. He believed that his friends and the Catholic church were against him, and that priests denounced him. Hit commitment was signed by Justice -Donohue and Dr. Matthew D. Field, after he had fired a gun over his uncle's head. McLattghlin't hallucination was that he saw faces and heard voices talking to him. Tho English of this it delirium tremens. MoLaughlln was a hard drinker. Dr. Macdonald said that McLaughlin had improved in confinement but that both he and Enright were chronic cases. The lunatics had escaped. Dr. Maodonald Mkl, in precisely the manner McLaughlin had described. To-day they were returned to Blackwell's island. The Dukes are Interested. New York, Nov. la—It is understood that the Dukes of Devonshire and Buccleugh are heavily interested with the St. Paul syndicate in the recent purchnse of dock facilities at Staten Island in connection with the scheme for direct shipments frum the northwest to Europe. ■ Pneumatic Gun Carriages. Such a policy as I have sought to Indicate would make stronger instead of weaker the general government in the confidence and affections of the people. It would aid the solutkn of problems which the general government can never solve to the satisfaction of communities with conflicting interests. It would make secure forever the rights of the smaller and weaker states. It would make Rhode Island as secure as Texas, Connecticut as Ohio, Florida as New York. Washington, Nov. 10.—Mr. Charles E. Creecy, president of the Pneumatic Gun Carriage company of this city, has submitted to the navy department a proposition to fit out the Ave unfinished double turret monitors with pneumatic apparatus for handling and loading the guns, revolving Che turrets and steering. The claim Is. made that the pneumatic plant in each vessel will occupy much less space and will be much more economical. The company agrees to guarantee the successful working of its apparatus or receive no pay. All the inventions are American, and if they are adopted and work satisfactorily it will mark a long advance in naval military appliances. The fifteen-inch guns on the pneumatic carriages can, it is claimed, be handled easily with crews of only three men to each gun. Song of the Shirt Stitchers. New Bedford, Nov. 10.—At F. M.

KNIGHT8 OF LABOR LIKETY TO Loitdon, Not. 1ft—The Marquis of Salisbury, in his speech at the lord mayor's banquot in the Guildhall, said the Conservative party occupied a position in Irish affairs which it was impossible to misinterpret. Thoir business was to accomplish legislation favorable to the integrity of the empire and to enforce laws which had been neglected and trodden under foot Although the Conservatives had been but a short time in power, thev could legitimately claim that public coniidenco was already considerably restored, and that the rc ations between landlord and tenant were much improved. New York, Nov. 10.—The prospects are lhat Liberty will not have a light in her torch for at least a month, and -it is possible that she will never more have moro than a beacon light She is to be classed as a beacon, and as such the money to light her must come from, the general appropriation to the lighthouse board, who will not pay for extra lights to beautify the pedestal or statue. Gen. Schofleld said that if any one made an application to him, indorsed by the American committee, for permission to run the lights until the government should undertake it, he would at once forward the application tofhe war department with his ovn recom-* mendation that it be considered favorably. It would probably -take two weeks for the department to act on such an application. He should indorse no application for people who simply wanted an advertisement He would not indorse Mr. GofTs offer unless Mr. Goff agreed to run the lights as they are, and not to experiment on the arrangement without the co-operatiAl of some member of the lighthouse board. "I gave an electrio plant worth 97,000 not for an advertisement, but because I wanted to give something," said Mr. Goff, "and now I offer to run the light at my own expense and to the satisfaction of the people. I think I have earned the privilege of fixing the lights the way they should be fixed. I do not care to undertake it in conjunction with Lieut MUlis." in the Government. Pittsburg, Nov. la—Fire is eating its way through acres of coal land in Westmoreland county. The Standard mine, the largent individual plant there, was sold to the Frick company several years pgo for (800,000. It includes 1,900 acres of land, 573 coke ovens, and employ* over 700 men.

New York, Nov. 10.—Two bareheaded and barefooted men, wearing trouaer* and sliirts, and wrapped up In blankets that trailed along the sidewalk, walked down Seventh avenue yesterday morning and were halted by Policeman McGinley. They wen too bennmbed by the cold to offer any resistance to arrest. McGinley had never had such a pair of prisoners before, and ho was not surprised when he found out that they had escaped from Blackwell's Island Insane asylum. Atlanta, Nov. 10.—Gon. John B. Gordon, was sworn in as governor of Georgia yesterday. There was a military display, in which twenty-one companies of militia participated. Gen. Gordon's inaugural address, which was an appeal for states rights agitation, is looked upon as a platform for future campaigns. He said in part: For defence against the outside world, our nation is simply omnipotent. Thore is no room for apprehension, that the general government wi)l ever lose its constitutional vigor or power of self-preservation. The danger is that the states may lose theirs by gradual accretions to Federal power and Imperceptible absorption of state functions. CmcAOO, Nov. 10.— Everything ta quiet at the stock yards. The railroads are helping the packers in every way, as the speedy gloee of the strike is of the greatest possible moment to them. All the roads coming ia here are offering to bring workmen hore and to return them free of charge in case they are dissatisfied. At Armour's downtown ofllces about fifty men were awaiting transportation to the houses at the yards. Manager Cudahy said he had fully 1,000 men at work, and was getting along all. tight. There were about the same number employed at Swift's. Craig & Fleming have also a number of men at work, and with the 850 at Morris' and some smaller houses there are between 4,000 and 5,000 men at work, many old hands. mine has been fiercely. A number of mining experts have vainly tried various plans to subdue the flames. The fire has already penetrated a gas farm and is working its way beneath the township of Mount Pleasant A scheme is now under consideration to drill a ten inch hole at the further end of the gas farm heading for the purpose of flooding the mine. The main danger is from fire damn. The flames are working toward exhausted coal cells which have been abandoned and closed on account of the gas. The Are is creeping slowly that way, and a terrible gas explosion is feared. The foreign policy of the government, Lord Salisbury said, was highly important, especially with reference to Egypt England, he declared, was bound to accomplish her work in Egypt by pledges so distinct and binding that she could not possibly retreat until that country was made secure against foreign oppression and domestic order was restored. They were Bernard McLaughlin and Cornelius Bnright Each insisted that ho was not insane, and said that he had escaped from the asylum because, he was entitled tf liberty. Referring to the situation in the oast, Lord Salisbury's language was extremely diplomatic. The menacing attitude toward Bulgaria which had been assumed by a European state, he said, bad caused the deepest regret. A midnight conspiracy led by men who had been debauched with foreign gold had hunted Prince Alexander, of Battenburf| from the throne of Bulgaria, and by doing so had outraged the conscience and sentiment of all Europe. The Injustice of this act was aggravated by the (act that foreign diplomacy had interposed to nave the lives and obtain the liberty of the conspirators. • The momentous events of our recent history have served to dwarf, in the estimation of the people, the importance of the states. It is the transparent purpose of certain leaders of public opinion to curtail the legitimate congressional representation of some of the states upon the unjust and untruthful assumption that large bodies of citizens are debaiTed the right and freedom of an elective franchise. But an infinitely greater danger to our future is yet to be mentioned. The greatest of all dangers lurks in the silent bat certain growth of a sentiment for stronger central government. It is a sentiment which not only acquiesces in the diminution of state powers, but demands a stronger and yet stronger government at Washington in proportion to our material advancement. In Yorkville court McLaughlin made a peech in Enright's and his own defence. He old a reporter in an intelligent manner how le and Enrlght had managed to escape. They occupied a cell in the main building on the second floor. They discovered that the Iron crossbar of the window was loose. On Monday night, between 10 and 11 o'clock, they threw up their window, and together they wrenched off the bar. With this piece of iron they twisted the remaining bars until there waaxoun for them to crawl through. They made a rope of two blankets and let themselves down. Enright was last down, and he left the upper blanket barely knotted to the window bar, so that they could pull the blankets down after them. He made the knot too loose, and the blankets came down with him. He hurt one of his legs. They wrapped the blankets over their shoulders and hurried to the farm yard on the west shore of the island. There they found some lumber and built a raft. They drifted half way across the river, and then the tide broke their raft to pieces. They swam back to the island and landed opposite Seventy-second street. They skulked along the west shore to the dock in front of the Emigration hospital on Ward's island, and found a rowboat In this they crossed the river to One Hundred and Tenth street, struck through One Hundred and Tenth street to Central park, walked through the park and came out at Fifty-ninth street and Fifth avenue. They were bound for New Jersey, to get out of th' jurisdiction of the supreme court when they met the policeman. "Do I look insane?" asked McLaughlin. "I guess not. My mother-in-law is to blame for this. She quarreled with me. I got drunk. She sent me to Bellevue as an Inebriate four weeks ago last Thursday, and I landed on Black well's island. I'm 81 years oM. My wife and two children live at 161 Front street, Brooklyn. I'm a carpenter and stair maker. I was a member of the union until three months ago, when I was dismissed for ' being drank. I'm a member of the Irish- American Blaine Independents. I wrote a latter the other day to CoL Michael Boland to get me out. I ended the letter: 'Object, liberty.' The doctors stopped the letter." Eight hundred men have been thrown out of work by the disaster. The majority of the strikers seem to rejoice over the resolutions ogainsttheKnights of Labor that have been adopted by the packers. "I think we wire in the Wrong when this last strike was ordered," said one of the leaders, "but the paokors by their outlawry resolutions have put us in the right The general assembly of the Knights could not consistently take up our fight, but from this on they will be bound to do battle for us. The order has been attacked, and every officer and member must stand up for us." Montreal, Not. 10.—In the proceedings for the extradition of Hokas, the embezzling Peoria bank bookkeeper, Assistant Cashier Ely, of the bank, testified that Hokes filled in and negotiated hlank drafts signed by the cashier. Hokes' lawyer threatens to have the American detectives Who arrested the defaulter indicted for conspiracy on the ground that they worked up the case on speculation and without authority from the bank. This is a crime under Canadian law. Hokes' Tata Being Tested. A man called mi Mr. Butler, of the oommittee, yesterday and offered to pay (or the lighting for a week, and Mr. Butler sent him to Gen. Bchofleld. The rights of Bulgaria were assured by the treaty of Berlin, upon which, Lord Salisbury asserted, the salvation of Europe depended. English interests, he declared, were by no means isolated, and if a majority of the ponders signatory of the Berlin treaty recognized their duty to inforoe the terms of that treaty. England would co-operate with them. England could not, however, accept the responsibility of isolated action. The policy of the government respecting eastern affairs had been shaped to harmonize with that of Austria, and the government trusted that the peace of Europe would remain undisturbed. "Will Powderly comer "the speaker was asked. A SPIRIT'S REVELATION.

Louisville, Nov. 10.—John Dewberry, a saloon keeper, died in August last Hi* saloon was told in the settlement of the estate. Mrs. Dewberry has been living in another part of the city. She entered the saloon and asked the man behind the bar counter far permission to visit the baok yard. She then passed through the saloon to a dark passage in the rear. Going to one corner she scraped the dnst away with her hand, and from under a piece of sheet iron drew forth a small bag. She then told the saloon keeper that for some time she had been dreaming of lost money, and last night she was awakened from her slumbers by hearing her name called. She recognized the voice as that of her husband. She opened her eyes and beheld his familiar features. He-told her of the hiding of this money, which he had been prevented from revealing to her in the flesh because of delirium. He then vanished. , , Mrs. Dewberry, on finishing her story, handed to the saloon keeper a small bag, and asked him to examine the contents, as her nerves were too much uniitrung for her to do anything. He did as directed, and foqpd in the bag twelve $20 gold ptoces. Mnthattan. The Dead Jockey'/ Estate. There are those who hear me whoee children will see this great oountry with perhaps hall a hundred states and 200,000,000 ot people. Upon it* rait domain, densely populated, will spring multiplied industries, with diverse claims and conflicting interests. The Pacific states, the Atlantic states, the Gull states, the middle states, the eastern states, and the great west will demand through their respective representatives, and with increased earnestness, legislation at Washington (riendlj to their respective interests and consonant with their varied theories. Great social, economic aad class problems will press lor solution with resistless urgency. London, Nov. 10.—The coroner's inquest held on the body ot the dead jockey, Fred Archer, elicited, beyond question, the fact that he had met with no betting losses that would have caused aberration ol mind, and rred that his derangement was brought on typhoid lever aggravated by weakness, resulting tram the extreme regimen observed by the deceased in order to reduce his weight. It is reported that Archer's estate will realise $1,250,000. "Tho nerve—the inconsistency—of the packers, rich, all of them, and well able to take care of themselves, forming a powerful organization themselves, and solemnly declaring that poor men with families shall not have the right to combine for their self-protection! This thing would be laughable if it were not serious. Thousands of men win starve before they will agree to the humiliating conditions forced upon them. The packers are good union man, and I am glad itojee they are proud of it, bat they seem to tthink that mechanics who follow ihe worthy example which they themselves have set are unfit to live. I have hofe that the employers will appreciate the indefensible position which they have assumed smd settle this important difficulty by arbitration, and I think that if Powderly himself comes here that will be the outcome of what threatens just now to become a serious war between employers and employes." BURGLARS tAPTUREO. Desperate Struggle with the Polioe In an Illinois Town. Decatur, Ills., Nov. 10.—Three police office! s had a desperate encounter with two professional burglars in the business part of the city'lost night. Two residences had been robbed within two nights, and the policemen were in search of the thieves. They came across two fellows with a heavy sachel in their possession. They were told to go along to jail, when both pulled their revolvers and began firing at the officers. The fire was returned, and thirteen or fourteen shots were exchanged without damage to either side. Robert Jones, one of the burglars, was captured after a desperi.te Struggle, but the other man, who is believed to have been wounded, made good his escape. The sachel contained a complete outfit of burglars'tools. The men are believed to be escaped convicts wanted in the east New York, Nov. 10.—It is understood that the trustees jot the East River bridge have concluded to make the bridge free lor loot passengers, as the revenue from that souioe at the present rate of toll is only $18,777 per year, while the expense ot toll takers, tickets, boxes, etc., is $40,791 per yeac. The wagonway and oars are a source of profitable revenue.Oasts Mare than the Revenue. The great problem ol our future is to secure stability amid new and great perils and yet save liberty. Two roads are open, one toward centralization, the other toward local adjustments. The one or the other will be chosen by the 'people, and must be chosen quickly. Let it be admitted that the plan ol increased central power at Washington would give (.table government, vigorous social institutions, aad public order. But let it also be remembered that these are leas than bait the blessings promised by the founders of this republic. Stability is essential, but stability through progressive accretions to federal power must end at last in absolutism or centralization. Stability thus secured is the death of our duplex system. It is the destruction ot state independence. It is the doom of free government in America. There is one way, and one way only, to secure in our momentous future both stability and liberty. That way is to depend, as perils increase, more and more upon the Mates and to trust more to local adjustment. Our greatest safety, pro- WASHiNOTOir, Nov. 10. — Carroll D. Wright's report for the bureau of labor on strikes and ooavict labor is nearly completed, and work has actively begun on three subjects to be embraced in next year's report— the employment ot women in cities, production and distribution in the United States, and the relations at railroads to their empkDy«« To Report an Strikes. The first excitement at the stock yards occurred when word was sent to the headquarters of the deputy sheriffs that their servioes were needed at Forty-second and Ashland avenue. Fifty dsputtss immediately hurried tf lbs place, and were quickly followed by four companies of militia Water Famine In Watertraiy. Waterbury, Conn., Nov. 10.—By the breaking of the main which supplies this city from the reservoir* all the water is shut off from the city. It was promised that the repairs should be completed by morning, so no extra supplies of water were laid in. Now the city is in the midst of a water famine. Large manufacturing concerns that have no wells of their own have had to shut down. In households there is neither cooking nor washing, and people shun each other on the street because their faces and hands are so soiled. Beer saloons even can furnish little liquid refreshment There is the greatest consternation among business man, as in case of fire there would be no supply to draw from. The breaks in the main are much more extensive than expected, and it is not known when the repairs will be completed. An investigation was made and it was found that four deputies who had been left to patrol an alley in the vicinity had been fired on by some unknown parties. The fire was returned, but the aggressors escaped. Keport on Indian Edaoatiop. Wabhikqton, Nov. 10.—Superintendent of Indian Schools Riley has returned from a visit to the reservations in the west and southwest, and makes an encouraging report as to the success of the educational branch of the Indian bureau the past year. The increase in attendance has been very large, and a number of new schools have been opened. Upon the general plan of Indian education he says: "lam satisfied that the rudiments of English education are what we should confine ourselves to in this matter, and that beyond that we cannot successfully go. We cannot teach Indian boys agriculture successfully at either Hampton or Carlisle, for the agriculture of Virginia and Pennsylvania is so vastly different from that of Dakota and Arizona that it serves no purpose. Higher education we have found to be practically valueless." Mr. Riley is rather of the opinion that the schools at Carlisle and Hampton could be closed without detriment to the cause of Indian education. "Why did yon try to escape?" the reporter asked McLaughlin. Drraorr, Nov. 10.—Complaint has been made to District Attorney Black of open election frauds at Tensing, the complainants professing to have incontrovertible proofs. The United States grand jury has brought in thirty indictments, and alter they have been disposed ol the election frauds alleged in this city and Lansing will be taken up. Alleged Election Frauds. "Principally on account of the grab. IH bet my three meals a day did'nt cost the city •even cents." The presence of the militia in the stockyards U baring a salutary affect upon the jno.e turbulent characters of the striking butchers. The militia was deployed on all the adjacent thoroughfares, and formed a complete cordon about the yards for the purpose of protecting men going to work. In consequence of these precautions there were IUD cases reported of "slugging" non-union rfken in the Town of Lake, although the strikers were out in great force on the -Streets, standing around in the rain discassing the important movement they had entered upon. They rented their wrath by calling the non-unionists hard names and occasionally hurling an obnoxious word at the militia and polio*. Employe* of the packing £ousss who live in the city were unfortunately unprotected while going to work, and several of them were assaulted by the Strikers before they oould reach the militia lines. Three men were severely beaten before the polios could rescue them from the mob. The leaders of the mob were not arrested, although the polios hpnted for them high and low. A detail from the First cavalry regiment went on at the yards yesterday. This comes of a demand to have on the ground a troop of mounted men, for the purpose of putting a stop to desultory depredations that am constantly being committed by men who manage ltd escape before they can be arrested. New span to take the places of the strikers havs Arrived in considerable numbers, and large tgangs are expected Thursday. . From present Appearances there is no prospect of an immediate termination of the strike. Eoright was leas talkative. He said that he was 25 years old, and that before he was sent to the island he was a truck driver and a cab driver and a good many other things. When he was asked why he ran away he answered: gre«B, permanence and freedom lie In the direction of enlarged local administration. The freest government is that which is most controlled by homogeneous communities; and the strongest government for a country like ours is that which devolves upon states the largest, responsibilities. As population becomes dense, as industries multiply, as interests conflict, as creeds clash and the discord of jarring theories increases over this widely extended country, the mora and more difficult will become the problem of government through central administration at Washington, and the greater wit? be the necessity for intrusting to the states all questions with which they may constitutionally deal. An Old Detective Gone. "I thought that I could be more comfortable somewhere else." Nrw Tom, Nov. 10.—George Elder, one of the oldest and best known detectives, died of aneurism at the heart. He had been connected with many important casss, among others that of Adams, the Concord bank robber. Of late be has been in the employ of Tiffany as private detective. Dr. Maodonald, the superintendent, and Dr. Douglass, the house physician of the BlackwelFs Island asylum, came to the Yorkville prison for the men. They brought along fresh suits of clothes and certificates of lunacy. The Seceding Mew York Cotton Men. New Orleahs, Nov. 10.—The announcement-made fay the New York Cotton Exchange of its intention to withdraw from the National Cotton Exchange at the end of the commercial year caused excitement in commercial circles. President Walmsley, of the National Exchange, did not think it was a matter of much Importance. New York had determined, he said, some time ago to withdraw from the exchange. Some of the brokers feared that unless the matter could be adjusted it would result in the disruption of the Nationul Exchange, which is supported almost wholly by New York and New Orleans. The difficulty arose from the standard types fixed by the experts, which are very unsattfactory to New York cotton men. EnrigUt's delusion, the certificate said, was that he was boycotted. He believed that his friends and the Catholic church were against him, and that priests denounced him. Hit commitment was signed by Justice -Donohue and Dr. Matthew D. Field, after he had fired a gun over his uncle's head. McLattghlin't hallucination was that he saw faces and heard voices talking to him. Tho English of this it delirium tremens. MoLaughlln was a hard drinker. Dr. Macdonald said that McLaughlin had improved in confinement but that both he and Enright were chronic cases. The lunatics had escaped. Dr. Maodonald Mkl, in precisely the manner McLaughlin had described. To-day they were returned to Blackwell's island. The Dukes are Interested. New York, Nov. la—It is understood that the Dukes of Devonshire and Buccleugh are heavily interested with the St. Paul syndicate in the recent purchnse of dock facilities at Staten Island in connection with the scheme for direct shipments frum the northwest to Europe. ■ Pneumatic Gun Carriages. Such a policy as I have sought to Indicate would make stronger instead of weaker the general government in the confidence and affections of the people. It would aid the solutkn of problems which the general government can never solve to the satisfaction of communities with conflicting interests. It would make secure forever the rights of the smaller and weaker states. It would make Rhode Island as secure as Texas, Connecticut as Ohio, Florida as New York. Washington, Nov. 10.—Mr. Charles E. Creecy, president of the Pneumatic Gun Carriage company of this city, has submitted to the navy department a proposition to fit out the Ave unfinished double turret monitors with pneumatic apparatus for handling and loading the guns, revolving Che turrets and steering. The claim Is. made that the pneumatic plant in each vessel will occupy much less space and will be much more economical. The company agrees to guarantee the successful working of its apparatus or receive no pay.
