IN SESSION.
The General Assembly of the Knights of
Labor Hold Forth at Cleveland, D.

CLEVELAND, o.. Nav 81.
The general assembly of the Knights of
Labor began its session at 80 this morning
The committee for laws presented a partial
report embodying a number of propositions,
one of which was taken up. The first prop
ostion was in effect that the general execu-
tive board should be increased from five to
eleven members. The great growth of the
order since original executive committee was
decided on demands that the work be distrib-
uted among more committee men. The
morning was spent in discussing propositions.
There was equal sentiment in favor Of in
creasing membership in the board, but ques
tions as to whether it would be proper for the
special convention to take action in the mat
ter, met with some difference of opinion.
A number of delegates wanted board, COO
stituted OF one delegate from each State and
Territory, while others favored large board
made up in different ways. Nothing was
said about remunerating members Of the
board and it is thought they will be paid as at
present, only for time actually spent in the
work of the committee. After three hours
discussion the report was referred back to the
committee on laws without restrictions.
A committe on legislation was then a2-
pointed. At 2 o'clock recess was taken un-
til tomorrow morning At 8, 1t which time the
committee on the state Of the order was ex-
pected to report.

THE ANARCHISTS.
Indictments Reported by the Chicago
Grand Jury-Spies and Five Associates
Charged With Murder.

CHICAGO, May u.
1t is understood that the indictments against
the Chicago Anarchists, as signed by the
grand jury, are follows; For murder
Spies, Schwab. Fielding, Fischer, Lingg and
Schnaubel; for assault to kill-Lingg; for
conspiracy-Spies, Schwab. Fischer, Lingg,
Fielding, Parsons, Schnaubel, Engel and
Hirschberger: for unlawful assembly-Spies,
Schwab, Fielding, Fischer, Lingg, Parsons,
Schnaubel, Hirschberger, Engel and prob
ably Schneider.
A Chicago paper this morning says: In
the near future Mrs. Parsons, Mrs. Holmes,
APPEL, Schneider, Brown and a few others
may be treated similarly to their blood:hirsty
leaders, but the informers now in custody
aud at large will not be meddled with unless
they show a disposition to relieve the neigh
borhood of their presence or attempt to con-
tradict their confessions, which are now in
the possession of the States attorney. 1t is
very doubtful if the indictments are in proper
shape They will not be presented in open
court for few days as the States attorney
is not in a position to defend any writs which
may be issued, and he is not through by any
means with the conspiracy, an outline OF
which has startled the authorities. The
States attorney hopes, however, to be al
lowed to retu n all the indictments bearing
on the Haymarket outrage in court very soon,
and he expects to convict the actors in that
tragedy. If he does not convict Spies,
Fielding, Schwab, Schnaubel, Lingg and
Fischer of murder and hang them, he will
send them, he says, to the penitentlarv for a
term for conspiracy, the punishment for
which is three years. Lingg is really in the
most unfortunate plight of any, for in ad-
dition to being held for murder, conspiracy
and unlawful assembly, he has been still
further indicted for assault with intend to
kill Officer Lowerstern, who arrested him.

A NJ MEETING
In support of the Morrison Tariff Bill
Held in Boston.

BosroN, Nav 81.
a public meeting in support of the Morri-
son tariff bill, now before Congress, was held
at the Old South church tonight under the
auspices of the Massachusetts Tariff Reform
League Hon. ii. l. Pierce presided, with
Josiah Quincy as secretary. Speeches urg-
ing a thorough revision of the tariff and urg-
ing speedy action in the matter in order TO
stimulate our industries were made by b. G.
Clark, representative of the cordage interest,
Wm. Lloyd Garrison for the wood trade, w.
f. Jones, fish bureau. ex-Mayor Prince, Je-
rome Jones, representing glass interests, and
Joseph S. Ropes. Letters sympathizing with
the object of the meeting were read from
Hon. Jno. NJ. Forbes, Hon. Leopold Morse
and others. The resolutions adopted, after
ref ring to the decline in American com
merce, says
"No steamship subsidies, however lavish
can surmount the obstacles which our tariff
laws oppose to foreign trade. We believe ex
travagance in public expenditures should be
encouraged and that no tax should be laiC
upon people which the government does not
need. We believe that the present Morri
SOD bill, so-called, ought to receive the fav
orabe attention of Congress-"

THE ROCK ISLAND ROBBERY.
Report that the Murderers Have Been
Caught->torv Told by a Convict in fhe
Indiana Penitentiary.
CHICAGO,IMay 81,

CHICAGO, May u.
A Chicago paper printed this morning a
long article regarding the Rock Island ex-
press robbery and murder of March 18TH 1t
sets forth that two men named Conners and
Mccoy have been arrested as the principals
IN the crime, and are now held either in Joli-
et or Chicago pending the arrest Of third
person, or a confession from one or the other
of the prisoners. The arrests, it is said
were made on the basis of statement from
a convict named Plunkett, now confined in
the lnuiana penitentiary at Michigan, Indi-
ana, under the name of James Wilson. His
story was that last fall he attended the Vino
ma llllinois) fair, in company with John Con-
nors, bath" Mccoy and third person who
was called jeff" They all went from
Peoria. that city being the home OF CGnnOrs,
Mccoy and Plunkett. At this time, accord
ing to Plunkett, plan was devised to 'hold
up" the Rock Island road the coming
winter at or near Morris. The in
tention was to seize the express messenger
and rob his safe. Plunketts part was to
point pistol at the messenger and keep him
quiet while the others should open the safe
and get the contents. They were all familiar
with the road, having worked along the line /;
and knew just the best place to board and
leave the train Having thus arranged for a
fall campaign, they separated. Plunkett
went to indianapolis shortly after, where he
soon got into trouble and was sent to the pen
itentiary for larceny. Soon after the robbie
ry he said to outsiders that ne knew who did
the job, and his brother-in-law visited him
and heard the story which is now told.
The railroad company put their detectives
on the trail, and the arrest of Connors and
Mccoy has been effected. 1t is understood
that the wife of the farmer, near Yorkville,
has identified their photographs as the like
nesses of the men she fed on the Sunday
morning after the robbery. 1t is not known
that any evidence has been found to connect
these men with the crime beyond the story of
the convict and their bad reputation.

NEW YORK, May q.
1t was rumored ia New York CITY this
forenoon, that one OF the original thirteen
bribe taking aldermen had signited his desire
to "squeal." 1t was said that he was take n
into custody late last night. He was said not
only to have fastened the crime upon his as
sociates, but had furnished enough evidence
to convict the bribe givers as we'll. There
were not a few in the city. however, who
openly avowed that the prisoner was no other
than Jake Sharp; and though this had been
broadly asserted, it had not been denied up
to noon. Inspector Byrnes would not deny
or confirm it.
The mystery was dispelled later however,
when ex-Alderman Michael Duty came to
the general sessions court and gave bail in
the sum of $4,000 to answer another charge
of bribery in connection with the franchise OF
the 34th street Cross Town railway.
Duffy was arrested on bench warrant
