NEW YORK. Aug. 26.-About $500 persons, in
cluding curiosity seekers and q heavy police
force, attended q mass meeting of the
Knights Of Labor in Union square tonight
1t an not equai, either in numbers
or enthusiasm, the expectations of the pro.
jectors OF the meeting The interest centered
mainly in Powderly. The former employees of
the New York Central OF this city marched in .
body to the square behind drum corps.
Mrs. Margaret Moore who figures prominently
in Irish politics in tn is city, gave five-minute
address. The counseled organization among
the laboring classes, and advocated self-reliance
Aletter OF regret for non-attendance was read
from Samuel Gompers. president OF the Fedora.
ton OF Labor. He sympathized with the men
and denounced the attempt OF the compeny to
crush aheir organization.
Powderiy next spoke. He said: aYou NAV feel
disheartened because the Terre Haute con-
vention did not declare q general
strike. Your executive board did not
expect it would. All we expected
was to have their support, and they are with
as fcheersl. They say our battle must go on,
and go on if will. Central railroad officers may
talk about goods being delivered. bat they do
not tell the truth. Every merchant in New
York knows different"
Powderly then refuted Webb's charges that
the men were dismissed for drunkenness or
other cause prejuiicial to the interests of the
company. The speaker next dealt with Chief
Arthur. He said Arthur recently sat ON a
platform with railroad officials at
New Haven aud they put their arms aIound his
neck The strike which we have iuauguratei !"
he said, 'sis not only a strike OF the people of
New York. but OF the people of America"
The meeting then listened to a fiery preamble,
followed by resolutions which denounced the
New York Central officials as arbitrary and ty

They Ask to BE Reinstated at the Old
Rate of Wages.
CHICAGO, Aug. 25--The strike of the switch
men of the Stockyards Switching Association,
after the adjustment of the grievance OF the en-
gineers aud firemen, yesterday, put new phase
on the situation, and this morning it was de-
cided to dissolve the association and allow each
road to do its own switching. The old men
were told that their services were no longer
needed, and others were procured to do the
switching.
Superintendent Marsh went to the stockyards
this morning at the head of 300 men to take
charge Of the police arrangements there, and see
that no act OF violence was committed by the
strikers.
The strikers have given up the fight They
win this afternoon send a committee to the
railroads asking to be taken back at the old rate
of wages.
The switchmen on the Chicago & Alton road
have struck because the company wished to put
one of its employees in charge of the yard at
Brighton Forty-ive men went out all together
Passenger trains are moving all right, but
freight trains are tied up.
The rumor that the striking stock yards
switchmen had repented their haste and asked
TO be taken back by the switching association
at the old rate oi wages was untrue. The
roads have dissolved their switching as
sociation, and declared the strikers discharged,
and say that each road will hereafter
do its own switching. Ii is now q question
whether the employees OF the different railroads
will agree to take the places of the strikers who
formerly composed the EN- ployes OF the switch
ing association. Should the railroad men re-
fuse. every road entering Chicago may be tied
nm before forty eight hours

Northwest Congressman Demand Large
Approximations.

Northwest Congressman Demand Larger
appropriations.
WASHINGTON CRY. Aug. Ex-senator Dolph
today severely criticised the parsimouy Of the
government in the matter of expenditures for
public land surveys. He claimed that before
the Sparks regime there was 9 disposition to
appropriate all the money in the treasury
Tor surveying public lands and there was
no apparent attempt to arrest the
development OF the great Northwest. The
admission of the four new states had given
that country more power in congress and the
influence OF these additional states was felt in
thesenate when the increase TO $500, 600 for sur.
veys confsrees had been cut down so that
the amount was no more than usual
After Sparks had come into power every settler
IN the Northwest was treated as q rascal az
man attempting to steal government land. A
protest was entered against this me hod in be-
hall OF the states where there were many acres
OF unsurveyed land, much of it occupied by
settlers The land Office had refused to
allow surveys by the deposit system,
system which in real agricultural
countries had been OF great benefit to the peo-
pie, ana allowed them to secure title to their
lands Senator Allen says the amount which
was cut off from the land appropriation could
have been proftabiy expended in the state of
Washington alone.
At the request of Senator Allen there has been
an increase of mail servis between Ellensburg
and Wateryille, Wash, to three tunes q week, to

A MuRDERER BREAks JAIL.
Angus McClane and Five Others Leay
Olympia Dungeons.

OiyHfpia dungeons.
OLYMPIA, Aug. 26-Ihrough the negligence
of the sheriff six prisoners made their escape
from the county jail last night. by forcing the
bars and brea king the lock. Five prisoners were
confined in the county Jail, among whom were
Angus McClane. of Shelton, who is under sem
tence OF death for the murder of his wife.
The escape is supposed to have been planned
and executed by John Hazelwood. who was
awaiting trial for assault and battery on the
McClelland brothers in Shields saloon. Hazel
wood and Tom Ryan, prisoner who was under
ten days sentence for petty larceny, made
their escspe. They forced the bars Of the win
dow apart with heavy piece of wood and
jumped to the ground. which is about fifteen
feet below. 1t appears that none OF the other
prisoners made aBy attempt to escape, as they
would have had little difficulty.
Sheriff Billing has telegraphed a description
of the prisoners TO all the neighboring towns
and he thinks they will be recaptured. All out
going trains wsll be closely watched. Fifty dol
lars reward has been offered for the capture of
Hazelwood He is colorcd, about FIVE feet six
inches in height, well built. aud has q scar
across the front of his head
The county jail is brick building and was
built many years ago. 1t is entirely inadequate
for the present needs of the county. The pris-
oners are confined in the second story. which
contains the steel cell for condemned prisoners.
The rest of the floor contairs the sleeping-room
and kitchen. Some time ago number OF pris-
oners escaped by cutting hole in the brick
wall, which is nearly TWO feet thick. The spot
can easily be seen, where the new bricks and
mortar were laid.
The city Jail, or cooler, as it is commonly
called, situated in the rear OF the fire house, on
Columbia street. was also broken open last
night and four prisoners escaped, one of whom,
Tom Murry. was to have gone 10 McNeips ISL
and, this morning, having been sentenced for
selling LIQUOR to Indians. Shortly after o'clock
last night somebody stole s. pair of drawers
from the store OF Mr.. Rosenthal. Three 'ho-
bos" were afterwards arrested on suspicion, and
MI. Rosenthal identified the drawers which one
OF them wore. While the officer in charge was
leaving the prison, after feeding them, some of
their friends on the outside secured bar and
forcing the paddock. released them. None OF
them have yet been recaptured.
