CISCINNATI, o, DeceInDer =.
An ingenious and successful escape was
made from the County Jail just before
daylight this morning. It is customary
every morning to release three or four
prisoners from the cells to start fires and
do kitchen work. Among those who
were detailed for this was John Lehm-
kuhl and John Keown, who managed to
get through the kitchen window TO the
jail yard and thence to the gallows, where
they mounted the wall, dropped to the
street and escaped.

Assistant Secretary Of the Interior
Joslyn says the investigation by
the Senate Indian Affairs Committee into
the leasing Of Indian lands for grazing
purposes can not develop anything not al
ready known, because nothing has been
concealed. He says the Interior Depart
ment did not make the leases, but simply
authorized the Indians to make them If
they deemed it best for their interests.
Secretary Joslyn added that he regarded
this plan of leasing the lands for grazing
purposes as advantageous to the Indians.

A LIFE OF SHAME. .

"If the girls can not get decent wages, :"
she told him, ''they can not live decent
lives" The employers have issued-a new
circular in which they give the following
eight reasons for having ordered the lock-
out: /. That the union had retarded the
growth of factories in the town. 2. That
it had resisted the Introduction of labor
saving machinery. 3. That it had
refused to let the men work in teams.
4. That it refused to allow the en-
ployers TO keep as many apprentices as
they chose. 8. That it obliged the en-
plOyers to pay exOrbitant wages to some
of their men, simply because the latter
were members of the union. 6. That the
union did not abide by its own rules
whenever it found it more convenient to
break them. Z. That it refused to allow
employers to hire their men by the week,
and 8. That it obliged the employers to
retain incompetent men In their employ;
all of which the locked-out workingmen
deny.

NEW YORK, December %.
The New York Protective Association
sent its Board of Arbitration and Strikes
to Norwalk yesterday a week ago to try
and bring about an arbitration between
the employers and the locked-Out men.
The Board visited all the hat manufac-
tories engaged in the lockout, and each
denied that his intention was
TO DESTROY TIE UNION.
At the same time the employers refused
to accede to any arbitration, although the
lOcked-out men agree to any honorable
means of arbitrating the question. The
Board made this report at a special meet
ing of the Protective Association held
yesterday forenoon, whereupOn $4,000
were sent to the NorwaIk workingmen,
and levy of $4,000. a week
was ordered for the duration of the
lockout. The sale of hats
made by the NOrwalk manufacturers is to
be diminished by a system of boycotting.
Arbitration, in speaking of the scenes in
Norwalk, said the city was perfectly quiet,
and the men peaceable yet determined.
The girls stood by the men and refused to
work with nOn-uuiOn men. The low
wages paid to the girls had forced a
mother TO ask one of the employers
whether the latter wanted to force the
girls to
