Eleven of the most desperate pris-
oners in the United States made their
escape between / and o'clock Sun
day. 1t was the most daring and sue
cessful jailbreak ever attempted IN
the state of Washington, and the
character of the men implicated makes
it doubtful whether they will be re-
taken without loss Of life.
The men at large are w. D. Snyder,
sent up from Idaho for robbery;
James Campbell, Nome, pickpocket;
Thomas Morton. Nome. burglary;
Frank Ainsworth, Nome, larceny;
Mike Williams, Spokane, counter
feiter; James Moriarity, Spokane,

A hole in the brick wall Of cell No.
10, occupied by convicts Snyder and
Davis. reveals the method Of escape.
The wall is about foot in thickness
and the floor of the cell is of equal
thickness, covered with concrete.
The tunnel was dug at the junction OF
the wall and the floor, sloping out
wardly until it formed a connection
with the air chamber, about two feet
below, and a foot outwardly from the
corridor wall of the cell. Through
this air chamber the prisoners
crawled about forty feet to where it
opened into the boiler room, the open
ing being covered by iron grating.
This obstacle was overcome by the
use of saws and the prisoners had then
only to walk out Of the back door OF
the boiler room across the yard and
scale the board fence. A few yards

West Against Chinese.

At largely attended meeting of Pa
cific coast senators and representatives
recently a final determination was
on Chinese exclusion legislation and
the following resolution was adopted:
Resolved. That the Pacific coast
senators and representatives approve
the policy and general provisions of the
bill which they have requested Repre-
sentative Kahn to introduce in the
house and Senator Mitchell in the SEN
ate; but this shall not effect the privi-
lege Of any member to perfect the same
by amendment"
The bill thus to be introduced was
agreed upon at the meeting. AS finally
adopted the insular section reads as
follows:
THAT from and after the passage OF
this act the entry into the American
mainland territory Of the United
States OF Chinese laborers coming from
any of the insular possessions of the
United States shall be absolutely pro.
hibited; and the prohibition shall ap-
ply to all Chinese laborers as we'll as
to such as were In the insular posses
sions at the time or times of acquisi
tion thereof. respectively, by the
United States. or to those who have
come there since. and those who have
been born there since. and those who
may come there hereafter and those
who may hereafter be born there"
! The decision arrived at is the result
OF six weeks consideration of the gen
eral subject of Chinese exclusion. the
purpose being to bring all the Pacific
coast interests together into united
support of one measure. The bill as
presented had clause covering the
Chinese coming from the Philippines
but the sentiment at the meeting was
In favor Of making the provision more
sweeping.

department of mines which estimates
the total mineral production of the
province during last year at $20,731,-
