Pouhk<-fp?ie. N. Y.. Oct *t.—There was
a revolt at the Matewan S ate llMDlthl
for the Criminal Insane at .o'clock
to-Rluht. when nix or elKht keetier* were
assaulted and overpowered by about
twenty Insane patient*. Home of the pa
tlents escaped and arc still at Urge. One
or two of the k-eners arc badly bruised
as a result of the assault.
After the patient" had been given their
usual Sunday night supper they were
taken back to their apartments In com
pany with keepers. Among the number
were fifteen or twenty who slept In on
of the Urge corridors, this being neces
sary on account of (ho cramped condi
tions at the Institution. In this hall with
the patients were six or eight keener*,
ano sat on their chairs u.itching the in
mates as they walked up and down the
hall In a restless manner. There wen
no suspicious movements on the i>art < f
tne patients to Indicate that they had
been planning a revolt of any kind. They
'.ooktd as they always did, first at one
keeper and then ut another, but the keep
ers did not think that tin re was my
trouble In the minds of the twenty pris
oners.
Suddenly find wlihout warning, each
keeper was attacked simultaneously by
iwo or three person* and heavy blows fell
on the heads of the surprised attendant*.
There did not seem to N any leader of
Ihe revolt and while the patterns were as
saulting the keepers they would glare at
-ach other occaslone 11y as If watting for
ihe word to make the hr**k for liberty.
The keys the keepers had were soon taken
from them and a rush was then made for
the .k>r leading from the hall lino the
dining room.
As the patients rushed through the din
ing room each one of them picked from
•he table a heavy plate or cup or bowl,
to use as a weapon In ease they were over
taken by the keepers. The lights were
still burning In ail lie- department.-' and
the Insane mob had eb-nr sailing. From
the dining room they went through the
adjoining rooms, the doors of which were
unlocked and then Into the long hall
bailing to the rear entrance. The patb-n,
In advance of the others was nervously
fingering over his bunch of keys as he ran
looking for the keys to the rear door. The
keys were well known to them and the
rear door was unlocked without much loss
of time, with a sell Hie mob r liM o.i,
of the narrow door, fighting with each
other as they want, each wanting to be In
the lead.
In the yard they ran like de>r and
crowded around the 1 Ig gate In Ihe wall,
whl.e one of fhelr numb r was turning Ih*
key In the lock. When the gute was
throw-n open they rushed out of the yard,
fairly tumbling over each other In the r
anxiety to he free again.
In the meantime the keep rs. who had
been overpowered, had given the alarm,
and after the chase all hut seven were
recaptured

Violation of Constitution.
The address says:
"We regard with profound apprehension
the courae of the present administration
in Porto Rico and the Philippines. Our
prior acquisitions were of adjacent terri
tory for the extension of area of eonstl
tutl*aial government, and the crcutlon of
new states of the Union. We made their
few Inhabitants citlxens; our people set
tl'd them; we there established Ihe in
shttiilons of freedom. For Ihe first time
In our history. It k* now proposed that
the Presklent and Coeigress shall rule vast
territories, and million* of men
outside our constitutional system
ftflleials sworn to suprort the
constitution and deriving aii their pawers
therefrom have acquired colonies and as
sumed arbitrary authority to govern thetr
Inhabitants without consent and to tax
them without represenletlotv This policy
offers lo the people of Porto Rico and
th" Philippines no hope of Independence,
no prospect of American cltlsenshlp. no
representation In the Congress which taxc.
then) This Is the government of met)
by arbitrary power; thl* Is Imperialism
"We believe that It Is Ihe first duty of
Ihe American people lo stamp with their
disapproval d>- •,rlncs so hostile to liberty
and dangerous to constitutional govern
ment. If they are to remain free nnd
th!r government is to continue represen
tative. their servants must not have or
exercise any hut constitutional (>wcr*.
Between the claim of freedom that all
men are entitled to, equal |slllleal rights
nnd the dogma of tyranny that might
makes rlgh.. there I* no middle ground.
The Supreme Issue.
"Wo have not prior to tills year nip
ported the candidacy of Mr. Hryan. W
do not now concur In certain of his view*
on minor issue*. Yet his position >n
Ihe supreme Issue of the present campaign
Is so sound atsl hi* advocacy of It has
been so able and courageous, that we
now favor his election ns the most effec
tive way of showing disapproval of Mr.
McKinley'* course. Without claiming any
special political influence, we unite, for
what our example may be worth to our
fellow citlxens. In this statement of pro-
I-.5.-I o-ttoii in the presence of a greater
danger than w*e hove encountered since
the Pllgr. ms landtd at Plymouth—the
danger that we are to be transformed from
a republic, founded on the Declaration of
Independence, guided by Ihe counsels of
Washington, lino a vulgar, oommonp.u -e
empire, founded on physical force.
"We Invite the co-ojs-ratlon of all inde
