POISONED THE GUARDS.
Attempted Wholesale Murder and j
Delivery.

Attempted Wholesale Murder and Jail
Delivery.
TACOMA, WASH, Oct. 2.-Attempted
wholesale murder and a partially sue
cessful jail delivery have occasioned no
little excitement at the United States
penitentiary on McNeil's island. War
den Palmer Of the prison and four
guards had a remarkable escape from
sudden death. The prisoners, led by
John Wade, a notorious smuggler, who
once before made a successful escape,
secured poison and placed it in the food
OF Warden Palmer and his assistants.
But for the fact the desperate prisoners
used too much Of the stuff, not one of
the intended victims would have es-
capped alive. AS it was, all of them
were made deathly sick.
During the excitement which fol-
lowed, four of the prisoners, with Wade
at their head, made their escape from
the island, and DESPITE the most vigor-
Gus search, the quartette has been at
large ever since.
The island is separated from all other
land by mile of salt water. It is be-
1eved that the four men escaped on a
rude raft and are headed for British
Columbia, if they have not already ar
rived there. The prisoners intended to
kill the guards and then set all the men
in the prison. 81 in number, at liberty.

IN A BAD FIX.
DISCRIMINATION in China Is
notwithstanding For
the Troops.
SOLDIERS ARE WITHOUT ARMS.
Europeans and Many Chinese
Go to Coast Towns For
Protection.

LONDON, Oct. IA dispatch sent
from Shanghai states that the Chinese
war council continues to sit, but the
disorganization is appalling. The cor
ruption in the commissariat passes be-
lief. There is nothing for the troops.
Food is scanty and weapons and war
munitions bought and paid for can
neither be found nor traced. The great
Chinese camp between Tien Tsin and
Taku is filed with raw levies and dis
order is rampant. The men are with
out rifles. Foreigners do not venture
in the camp unless amply guarded.
Most of the Europeans have gone to the
coast towns for protection. Many
Chinese merchants have gone to the
coast towns, feeling that they will be
more secure with the foreigners.
The transport Hung Chang arrived
at Hunkow for the purpose of embark
ing troops for the north. Troops have
been ordered to proceed from Canton to
FormOsa.

Japanese Warships Cruising Along the

LONDON, Oct. "a dispatch from
Chez Foo to the Pail Mall Gazette saws
that Japanese cruisers are sighted daily
off that port. It is added that the ma
ture of their operations are unknown.
But, coupled with the fact that it has
already been reported that the Japanese
have effected landing to the north
ward of Chez Foo, these movements are
regarded as significant and as tending
to confirm the story of the Japanese
landing. The British squadron in
Northern Chinese waters is cruising in

An insurrection is said to have broken
out in the province of Shanghai Tung.
The result of the uprising or it's nature

Of the robbers rode on the blind bag

two Jagged the train. As it Stacked
up, the fellow aboard passed quickly
into the engine and at the point Of two
revolvers, forced Engineer Holiday and
Fireman Martin to descend, uncouple
the engine and proceed ahead of the
train for half or three-quarters of o

robber had entered the express car,
while the other stood guard outside.
No shots we4o fred mar were the pas

While the Robbery Was in Progress.
The engineer and fireman were

the express Car, where they arrived
about the time the other two were
ready to depart. All three men
then mounted horses, which were tied

rection for the Mexican line, which is so
miles from the track. The amount

Soon afterward they came upon a
camp, which the robbers had hastily
abandoned. There they found three
Winchesters and three horses. Not
long after this they overhauled one of
the bandits, whom they called upon to
throw up his hands. Instead of doing
SO he turned upon the officers and fired,
but a charge of buckshot from the
sheriff's gun brought him to the
groud. The prisoner, whose name is

text of the telegram follows:
"The subterfuge you are resorting tc

placed. We don't want to hold it. We
offer $4,000 purse, the winner to

with every requirement.. If you will
not defend the title, Fitzsimmons will,
and will meet the best man that can be
found in the world in February, 1884,
In the event you do not answer and &C.

s. RIkEo LEGAL
Judge Jenkins Injunction Is
Overruled by the Court
of Appealc.
OPINION DELIVERED BYHARLAN
A Clear Recognition Of the
Right of Employees to
#%.=& Strike. @s& #

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-Judge jenkins
famous strike injunction was overruled
by the United States circuit court of
appeals and the cause was remanded
with directions to strike out from the
restraining order of the court the
clause which aroused the country when
the order was issued and which re-
suited in the Boatner investigating
committee Of congress- The inter.
venors who are representing theqeading
labor organizations Of the country asked
that two sections Of the injunction be
eliminated. The court of appeals de-
cided that no court could compel man
or body of men from quitting in
.dividually or in body the service Of
an employer. The court said that Judge
Jenkins
Had Exceeded His Powers
when he enjoined the employees Of the
receivers of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road company "from quitting the serv-
ice Of said receivers, with or without
:notice. SO as to cripple the property or
prevent or hinder the operation of said
railroad" It, however, held that the
section should stand in which the men
were prohibited ''from combining and
.conspiring to quit with or without
notice, the service of said receivers,
with the object and intent Of Gripping
the property in their custody or embar-
1n ~
The decision was considered by the
lawyers who packed the court room as
one Of the most important opinions de-
livered in the United States in de-
'cade. 1t defines the status before the
law of labor organizations in their con-
duct Of strikes, and affirms the powers
of courts of equity to- interfere
by injunction when there is reason
to believe that the law will be violated.
It holds that
Men May Withdraw in Body
from the service of an employer, using,
however, neither force, threats, perse-
cution nor intimidation toward en-
ployes who do not join them, nor must
they use any ''device' to modest, him
der, alarm or interfere with others who
desire to take their places.
Justice Harlan of the supreme court
delivered the opinion. Sitting with
him were Judges Woods, Bum, Gross
cup and Jenkins. The last named sat
with his eyes fixed upon Justice Harlan
as the latter read the opinion reviewing
