rested at Seattle.
Special to the Globe.
SEATTLE, W. T.. Nov. 1.-THE city has
resumed its wonted quiet, and except for
sentinels pacing the streets in the Chinese
quarters, there is little to remind one
of the recent trouble. The United States
grand jury adjourned to-day after finding
indictments for conspiracy and insur-
rection against seventy-siX men and one
woman. All of those indicted have already
been arrested, some furnishing bonds for
appearance in the sum of $4,000 each,
but others refused to do so, pre-
ferring to go to jail. Among those
arrested are one lawyer, one physician,
one organizer of the Knights of Labor as
semblies and two hotelkeepers. The rest
are workingmen, among them master
workmen of the Knights of Labor assem-
bly, here, and many prominent members
of that organization. In some cases arrests
excite surprise, as many who have been
arrested are not known to have taken any
part in the anti Chinese movements, while
others, among the most prominent
in it, have not been indicted.
1t is not believed that any of the prisoners
can possibly be convicted. There is no
probability of trouble while the military
remain. but it is believed agitation will be
resumed when they are withdrawn.
