PoRT TOWNSEND, w. T., November 10.
Fred. E. Simpson, formerly of Fresno
and Los Angeles, CAL, the young night
agent at Tacoma, who robbed the North
ern Pacific Express Company of nearly
900 and escaped to Canada last week,
was returned here tonight in custody of
General Manager Sullivan and Charles
Dubois, of Thiel's Detective Agency,
Portland. Simpson had all of the coin
packed in a valise when arrested at
Kamloops, B. c., by the Dominion
authorities, and was detained until the
American detectives arrived, who
convinced the young man that
he would suffer less by returning
to Tacoma to stand trial, than by being
dealt with by the British law for bring
ing stolen coin into the Province. Simp-
son could not have been extradited for
his crime, and it was bv shrewd detective
work that he was brought back. Simp-
son had engaged an attorney at Kan
loops, where he was arrested, who was
hoodwinked by the American detectives,
and before it was generally known Simp.
son was brought back to Vancouver and
hurried on board an American steamer
before the Canadian officers knew what
was going on, and the robber wat
brought here. He was taken to Tacoms

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
INDIANAPOLIS, November 19.-The de
sire of the delegates to the General AS
sembly of Knights of Labor, to continue
Powderly as their Chief, has been ex
pressed to him formally. The seven dele
gates who represent the Canadian AS
semblies called on him and asked hin
to accept the office once more. He gave
them to understand that he would do &c
providing he could choose his own adj
visers on the General Executive Board
Everything indicates that he will be
given his wish, and there is now only a
difference Of opinion regarding the way
it shall be done. One plan is for him to
choose eight names, four of which will
be elected by the Assembly.
Another plan cOntemplates the nomin-
alton of four men. If any be rejected,
new names shall be presented, until the
number is complete. Under any circuIu-
stances Powderly will undoubtedly con-
tinue in office and will choose his own
cabinet. Canada wants to be represented
on the General Executive Board. The
South has like desire, and movement
is on foot looking to the selection of some
representative business men.
1t is reported that proposition look
ing to the formation of an entirely new
constitution has been made to the Gen.
eral Assembly and is being considered
by the proper committee. As there is a
strong feeling in favor of radical re-
vision of the present constitution, there
is little doubt that the new constitution
will have many supporters.
Barry has ready another installment
of his attack on the Powderfy admins
tration, and it is said that he will keep
up his denunciation in the form of long
articles for several days to come.
The morning session was devoted to
matters from the Committee on Appeals
ind Grievances.

hat Powderly is the ruling mind of the
packed in the interest of the
General Master Workman, and that
Puwderly and Lichtman were afraid OF
publicity, and therefore both of them
we're ready to make peace promptly and
lid so at the first chance.
Powderly took the floor this afternoon
md made vigorous denial and denun-
'iation of the whole matter. His speech |
vas pointed and emphatic and was
,reeted with frequent and hearty ap-
,lause. A resolution was introduced |
nd referred to the committee to the
fleet that whenever a member OF the
,rder shall, through the public prese, !
make accusations Of misdemeanor
against members and officials OF the or
Ter without having first made and sus-
aimed these accusations before proper
court of the order, he lays himself open

ended, the editor in his criticisms.

TO BE SHUT DOWN.
TnEpcREMAToRY TO BEnBpAIRRD
30 that it will do the work Intended for
tilt is Badly Cracked by Reason of
Sinking and will have to DO Shut
Down for General Repairs.

The city garbage crema,ory on Wheel
ing hill Is finally in such q shape that 1t
will be necessary to put out the fires and
cease cremating for g week or ten dsys
in order to make some needed repairs.
As the public has already been informed,
the furnaces were built on coal cropping,
and, as predicted, the intense heat pro-
dused In the furnaces has had the effect
OF burning ont this coal and allowing the
furnRces to settle to such an extent, that
the bottom Ia 80 badly cracked that any
LIQUID substance put In, instead Of being
consumed, runs through the cracks into
the ground. Last night Keeper Serig re-
ported 10 the Health Committee that the
state Of affairs was such that 1t was sbso-
lutely necessary to make repairs before
much more work could be done
in the old rattle trap. The
committee grosned and again pro.
tested against the luck that had
placed them In charge OF the affair and
then inquired what had to be done. Mr..
Serig explained that the brick checker
work would probably have to be torn out
and reset and new bottom put in. As to
the cost, there was no telling what 1t
would amount to; the committee at 9
previous meeting had, in making up its
annual estimate, allowed $3.50 for the
work. As 1t was something that had to
be done or else abandon the crsmRtory,
the necessary repairs were ordered. Mr..
McGregor voted Sgainet 1t, saying that he
had resolved not to vote any more money
for the thing.
The cremStory having been ordered re-
paired, Health Officer Reed inquired what
should be done with the garbage collected
in the week or ten days that would elapse
before the crematory could be used alter
it was Bhut down. The law prevents it
being thrown In the river, as was done
formerly. The committee decided to
leaveits temporary disposal to DR.. Reeds
Judgment, and 1t Is probable that he will
have 1t dumped on the hill near the fur
mace 80 that as soon as the repsiru are
completed, 1t can be easily Shoyeled into
the furnaces. During this cold weather
there is not so much garbage hauling gs
there will be in few weeks from now.
