General Assembly Declares for the Six
teen to One Ratio.
Rochester, N. Y, Nov. 21.-The gen.
eral assembly of the Knights of Labor
declared on Friday for free silver by
the adoption of an additional clause to
the 18th plank of the declaration sub
mitted by the committee on law. AS
originally framed this plank held that
Understanding bonds, bills of credit
or notes should never be issued by the
government, but that when need arises
the emergency should be met by the is
sue of legal tender noninterest- bearing
money. To this was added the follow
ing: "And that gold and silver when so
issued shall be free and unlimited coin
ege, at the ratio of sixteen to one, re-
CARELESS Of the action of any other ma
ton"
A resolution was adopted that the
general assembly denounce the attempt
soon to be made to take from the gov
ernment of the people the sovereign
right to issue money and leaving it en-
tirely under the control of the national
banks, and calls upon the people every
where to watch their representatives in
congress and demand from them such
legislation as will continue the issuance
OF government money in preference to
money of national banks or corpora
tions.

confer with various leaders of the ma
tional democratic party. 1t is possible
that after his return meeting of the
national committee, of which he is
chairman, will be called for this city or
Chicago. 1t is the intention to keep the
organization of the national democratic
party intact. The leaders of the ma
tional democracy have noted with care
the evident intention of Altgeld, Bryan
and other leaders of the late campaign
to hold the party in line for silver and
all the other planks of the Chicago
platform, and this gives them an addi-
tional incentive for holding their or
ganization intact.

Further Details of Damage and Suffering
in the Northwest.
Seattle, Wash, Nov. 21.--The Chinese
passengers on the Great Northern train
which was tied up between Wellington
and Madison arrived In Seattle Friday.
Through an interpreter they said that
while on the train they were given two
meals day for four days, at the end OF
which time the food supplies gave out
and they were forced to walk seven
miles through snow from five to fifteen
feet deep to railroad section house,
where they were supplied with three
meals a day.
Owing to the crippled condition of the
Great Northern, Everett & Monte
Cristo railroads there is liable to be u
serious food famine in towns in the
Cascades flooded district. In fact, Mr..
Mccarthy, merchant of Sultan City
who is now here for the purpose of pur-
chasing supplies, said that it has al
ready begun.
A special dispatch from Snohomish
says: The first party of 200 miners who
left Monte Cristo early this week to
walk out to the lower town, reached
here Thursday. The reason for this
wholesale exodus of miners is a lack of
provisions in the mountain stores.
From the reports of the condition of
the Everett & Monte Cristo railroad, it
is evident that it will be three weeks at
least before train can reach Monte
Cristo. All the big mines at Silverton,
Goat Lake and Monte Cristo, have fol-
lowed the example of the Monte Cristo
Mining company, and sent out men
until the railroad could bring in more
provisions. There are from 300 to to
400 farmers in the Snohomish valley
who are losers from the flood. Their
losses range from few head of stock to
the loss of their entire personal prop

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. 21.-The inquest
on the body of Warden McCrea, of the
Erie prison, killed Thursday, was con-
Guided late Friday afternoon. Patrick
Cronin, the prisoner who was attempt
ing to escape from the train, was held
to the grand jury on charge of MUIR
der. The testimony of witnesses
showed that Cronin had hold of Mr.. Mo
Crea and pulled him from the train as
he jumped. The condition of Prisoner
Cronin, now in the hospital department
at the penitentiary, is said to be critical,
with only slight chance for recovery
from his injuries.

MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review.

New York, July S.--The stock market
while a little livelier than yesterday
may still be called intensely dull. The
total transactions were 134,S53 shares.
Prices declined !. to u at the opening
and later recovered. Sugar and Tobac-
co made exceptional gains OF about 2
per cent. The rise induced realiZations
during the afternoon under which the
whole list yielded u to IL per cent. In
the absence OF any known cause the
decline was ascribed to the news re-
ceived from Chicago concerning the
strength of the free silverites and the
radical measures proposed in the plat
form. These matters gave the bears an
opportunity to hammer the list but they
made comparatively little impression
on prices and commission houses re-
ported few offerings for the long ac-
count. In many quarters the belief OBJ
tains that the late depression in prices
fully discounted anything that the Chi
cago convention may do in the way of
free silver. Speculation closed weak in
tone.
