The Peoples’ Party Fails to Gather
in the Agricultural Vote.
ft,* Third r«rty Capture* and Swallow*
Allione*. But In Doln* ao Drive*
Out V»rloo* Other Farmer Organlsa*
tiooa-'loliormonloua Convention.
Indianapous, Nov. 2a—1The result
. yesterday’s sessions of the farmers’
organizations are that the people's
* has captured the alliance, and
{be alliance has a rest on the sub-troas
ory scheme. The capture of the alli
ance by the people’s party, while prac
tically accomplished some days ago,
was not apparent until yesterday,
when President Polk was unanimously
re-elected; II. L. Loucks, of South Da
kota. was chosen vice-president; J. H.
Turner re-elected secretary and treas
urer, and J. P. Willetts, of Kansas, na
tional lecturer.
The committee on confederation of
the various industrial organizations,
at a meeting, referred to a sub-commit
tee consisting of Messrs. Terrell, Tau
beneck and Baumgartner, the question
of calling a congress of all the labor
and industrial classes to meet February
12, next. It was first decided to hold
the congress in Washington, but the
south and west members objected to
the place. The sub-committee was in
structed to select either Indianapolis,
Louisville, Cincinnati, Chicago or
Springfield, 111.
Politics consumed mucn oi ue time
of this committee, the question at issue
being whether the way should he left
open fer the selection of a national
ticket at the February meeting or
whether the work done there should
he limited so as to prevent political ac
tion. The latter course was finally
decided on. When the assembly con
venes it will draw up a plat
form of declarations and demands
and the two great political parties
will be requested to give them consid
eration and indorsement It is not ex
pected that the two great parties will
take any notice of these demands, and
the way will remain clear for the
people's party to call a convention af
ter the political conventions have been
held and adopt the formulated de
mands of the confederated labor os
sein oly as its platform.
This is the plan of action now deter
mined upon by the people’s party.
The confederated assembly of indus
trial unions, as called, will, in the
minds of the committee, be the most
important organization of recent
years It aims for the consoli
dation of all laboring classes and the
subsequent diversion of the whole
strength of the gigantic combination
into the ranks of the third party. A
committee was appointed to prepare
an address to the laboring people, set
ting forth the objects and purposes of
the February meeting.
Soon after the opening of yesterday
morning’s executive session of the su
preme council of |he Farmers’ alliance
the chairman of the committee which
last night met the representatives of
the anti-sub-treasury element said his
committee was ready to report. In
stantly there was a disturbance. On a
motion of a delegate seated on the Ma
cune side of the house every one not
entitled to vote in the executive session
was obliged to leave the hall. When
the doors were closed the chairman
read the recommendation of the com
mittee that Dr. Yeamans, tlie author
of the anti-sub-treasury protest, shouid
have a hearing. It was received with
cries of "No! no!” and an acrimonious
discussion began.
About 12:30 o'clock the communica
tion was sent to the anti-sub-treasury
people demanding that the alliance be
immediately furnished with a copy of
the protest which they desired to pre
sent. The antis replied that the com
mittee was only empowered through
l)r. Yeamans to present the protest and
until Yeamans could be heard by the
supreme council the latter body would
be deprived of the pleasure of reading
the protest.
the document of the anti-sub-treas
«ry men earnestly protests against any
action of the supreme council that pro
poses to commit the Farmers' alliance
and Industrial union to the proposition
that provisions be made by the federal
congress for government loans of money
to individual citizens upon farm mort
gages as security, or a demand for
the government ownership on con
trol of railroad property and transpor
tation. These schemes, it declares, are
unconstitutional, impractical, conflict
ing with the spirit of the alliance
movement and tending to government
paternalism and state socialism. In
stead of relief from the present oppres
sion the measures promise greater evils,
being partial to certain classes, involv
■ng business details too deep for the
average farmer, and the attendant ex
pense would make the market price ol
money higher and open the avenue for
“harpers to trade upon the farmers
hard-earned goods and products. The
markets would be overloaded with pro
nuce, putting down the value of com
modities and raising taxation. Ala
bama. Mississippi and Missouri fur
nished examples of how similar
, to the sub-treasury project
ad failed signally. The land loan
‘heme, beyond promising a low rate
interest, presents no favorable feat

rstup of railroads implies one of two
her schemes. It would foster politi
corruption and be an arbitrary in

morning's session of the Farmers' alli
ance disposed of much business of a
routine character. A great num
ber of restrictions proposing con
stitutional and platform changes
were referred to different com
mittees. The executive committee
of the alliance, composed of Maun,
of Texas, Wardall of South Dakota,
and Slllman, of Tennessee, reported
this morning upon the condition of the
ordeA which was found highly gratify
Ioff- The increased demand during the
past year for reform literature was a
matter for immediate consideration by
the council which ought to pro

reform literature. Alonzo Wardall, of
South Dakota, was re-elected a mem
ber of the executive committee for
three years and M. A. Davy, of Ken

mittee, and a committee for the Na

union asked the council to indorse the
label of the union and buy only union

HOARD IN TROUBLE.
lie May Have to Kxplalu HI* Reference tti
a C’on upt Senate.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 20.—Ex
Governor Hoard, of Wisconsin, is likely
to have an opportunity of proving his
recent assertion that the lliscock bill,
which was introduced in the last ses
sion of congress for the purpose of sub
mitting oleomargarine to the laws of
the several states, failed of passage be
cause certain members of the United
States senate had been corrupted by
money furnished by manufacturers of
bogus butter. The declaration in
question was made quite recently be
fore a meeting of the Iowa State
grange, and it was supplemented by a
declaration that the ex-governor pro
posed to make the dry bones of the
United States senate rattle as they
have never rattled before. At least
two eastern senators who were opposed
to the Hoard measure are determined
that if the ex-governor has any inti
mation of the kind he has so publicly
indicated he shall be compelled to dis
close it. They have provided them
selves with the press reports of the
speech in question and it is probable
that directly after the convening of the
senate next month a resolution will be
submitted reciting the facts in the case
and calling for the appointment of a
committee to investigate the allega
tions. The fact that no names were
mentioned does not, it is argued, mili
tate against the gravity of the charges,
the only difference being that they are
directed absolutely against the oppo
nents of the measure, instead of speci
fied individuals If Governor Hoard
has any such information, there are
senators who are determined that he
shall name the men who received
bribes, men who furnished funds and
all necessary connecting particulars.
WANT THE CONVENTION.
Great Rivalry for the Next Republican
National Convention.
Washington, D. C., Nov. SO.—With
the arrival of the advance contingents
from New York and Minneapolis the
contest for the location of the next,
republican national convention may
be said to have been begun in earnest,
today. The delegates from theso
places are not at present making any
particular bids for the gathering, con
tenting themselves with pointing out
the availability of their respective
localities, the facilities for the main
gathering and the smaller committee
meetings, and the abundance of hotel
accommodations. M. H. DeYoung, ol
California, is on the way and will be
here this afternoon, lie is authorized,
on behalf of Man Francisco to offer free
transportation to the delegates from
their homes and return, and sends
word that he has in addition authority
to do a great deal more, but of what
character he has not appeared justified
j in making public. The national rcpub
[ lican committee meets here on Monday
to render a decision, and in the mean
time every arriving member will be
attacked front and rear by the advo
cates of the various cities. Chicago, it
is understood, occupies a neutral posi
tion. A meeting of its representative
citizens a few days ago agreed to make
uo concerted effort toward securing the
gathering, but to be contented with an
intimation to the committee that if it
chose to call the convention for Chi
cago, abundant facilities would be pro
vided.
OR. WILSON'S CASE.
rim Episcopal* Hardly Know What To Do
With TUI* Clergyman.
New York, Nov. 20.—Although it is
known that the matter has been called
to his attention, 1: ishop Potter has so
tar made no intimation of his inten
tions regarding the case of Rev. Dr.
ilenry Wilson, who recently an
nounced his conversion to the Faith
curists. Dr. Wilson, who is one of the
best known Episcopal divines in this
diocese, was until last June senior as
sistant of Rev. Dr. Kainsford, rector ol
-t. George's church. He was for a
.ong time a sufferer from dyspepsia
and other complaints and is emphatic
in his belief that he has been cured
through the medium of his belief in
the divine healing. He has become an
active worker in the Gospel Tabernacle
which is the center of the movement
of the Faith Curists in this section of
the country. At the same time he re
tains his connection with the Protest
ant Episcopal church. The matter lias
given rise to considerable talk in the
Episcopal and lay circles.
GRAVEYARD INSURANCE.
V Banker and a Thyalcian of Dallas, Tex.,
Arrrited on a Seriou* Charge.
Dallas, Tex., Nov. 20.—Something
of a sensation was caused here yester
day by the arrest of Thomas J. Wood,
jr., a prominent yonug banker of
Dallas, and Dr. James Orr, one of the
leading physicians of Terrell. It is
alleged that these men filed an appli
cation for a 820,000 insurance policy
on the life of one Clinton H. Page, who
was at the time dying with consump
tion. The application was certified tc
by Dr. Orr, who was Page's brother-in
law. The policy was paid after Page's
death, (since then it transpired that a
system of graveyard insurance had
been worked and the arrest followed.
II DAY OF DIRE DISASTERS
St Paul Has an Explosion and
Disastrous Fire.
Two Largo Bulim Blocks Reload, but tbs
Loss Is Kesri; Covered b; Insurance
—Several Labe Disaster Re
ported with Loss of Ufa.
St. Pavl, Nov. 18.—At 13 o’clock
this morning a tongue of flame arose
from the five story brick building of
Griggs, Cooper & Co., wholesale gro
cers, corner East Third and Wacouta
streets. When the department arrived
the fourth and fifth story were in a
mass of flames The whole building
was doomed. The fire originated on
the fourth story of the Griggs block,
then spread to the second story, both
of which were simply sizzling
when the firemen arrived. At
3 o’clock the flames began
to emerge ominously from the
Farwell, Osmun & Kirk building. Tc
add to the alarm of the citizens, at 3
o’clock the fire alarm once more
sounded. This time the call was from
Karl Simmons’ drug store, which was
quickly gutted. With the Griggs
Cooper building doomed and every ap
pearance that the Farwell, Osmun &
Kirk building would quickly follow,
the situation looked very serious. The
flames had now entire possession of
two large buildings, from the ground
upwards, and nothing but a lack of
fuel could stop their course.
At 3:45 when the blaze was at its
height, with the flames raging furi
ously in the east end block, a cry of
warning burst from the spectators.
The entire east wall of Farwell, Osmun
& Kirks building was seen to bulge
and with a crash gave way and fell
thundering into adjoining lots. Every
piece of apparatus in the city was still
at work at 5 a. m. and the fire was ap
parently under control.
The loss is estimated at: Griggs,
Cooper & Co., on stock, 8350,000, on
building, 8300,000; Farwell, Osmun,
Kirk & Co., loss on stock, 8400,000;
bnilding.8250,000. Insurance on Griggs,
Cooper A Co.’s stock equal to the loss:
on Farwell, Osmun. Kirk & Co., 8350,
000. Buildings fully insured. Loss or
Carl Simmons diug store, 87,000; in
surance, 85,000.
9:30 a. M. —The fire is now completelj
under control though still burning.
The estimate made by the Unitec
Press correspondent of losses and insur
ance proves correct in nearly every in
stance. The loss if anything exceed!
the estimate.
Three Men Drowned.
Fort Townsend, Wash., Not. 18.—A
ship’s boat belonging to the barken
tine North Bend, containing five of her

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.
GrtM Hastllng of Cltlm to Captor* the
Republican Meeting.
Wasiiixoton, I). G, Nov. 31.—There
was not the bnstle that night be ex
pected under the circumstances this
morning in the lobby and corridors
of the Arlington hotel, where all the
delegations representing tho cities in
the race for the republican national
convention of 1893 have headquarters,
nevertheless much quiet work wus
done, and if members from the various
delegations are to be believed each
member of the national committee in
the city has shown himself to be favor
ably disposed. They are careful not
to say they are pledged towards
the city represented by the city who
imparts the information. Each dele
gation is quite as hopeful as any
other. The New York delegation
is due here this evening. It
was preceded this morning by J.
Sloat Fassett, who is a member of the
national committee.
The announcement that the pre
sentation of the claims of the vari
ous cities would be public has
created much favorable comment.
Tho hearing will take place
in the big banquet hall of the Arling
ton, whicli will accommodate a large
crowd. Governor-elect McKinley and
ex-Governor Forakcr compose the team
that will pull together in presenting
the advantages of Cincinnati. San
Francisco will have Representative
McKenna to tell why it deserves the
convention. Judge Scott will argue
for Omaha. Minneapolis hasn't yet se
lected its advocates from five who have
been suggested, vis: Senators Wash
burn and Davis, of Minnesota, Senator
Casey, of North Dakota, Senator Petti
grew, of South Dakota, and Ch ef
Clerk Johnson, of the United States
senate. The speakers for New York,
Detroit and Pittsburg have not been
selected.
Chicago, the only candidate for the
convention that has no dclegatied to
represent it, will be spoken for by
Congressman Campbell of Illinois. It
is said he will simply tell the national
convention that if the committee wants
the convention to go to Chicago that
city will furnish the hall, the printing,
the doorkeepers and the ushers.
No attempt has been yet made by
any of the delegations to figure on the
votes. The only combination attempted
was an effort on the part of the west
ern cities to combine against the east.
CLAIMED BY TWO WOMEN.
A Cedar Rapids Man Finds a Hurprlao at
Home.
Cedar R acids, In.. Nov. 21.—When
Joseph P. Dunphy, foreman of the
Jones & Douglas cracker factory, went
home last night he was confronted by
two women who claimed to be his
wives. Yesterday afternoon a woman
giving the name of Mra Mary Ryan, of
St. I.ouis, came to the city and went to
Mr. Dunphy’s house, and when he went
home a general row ensued, which
ended by Mrs. Ryan drawing a revol
ver and attempting to shoot Dunphy.
He called the police and had the
woman arrested. Mra Ryan clnims
that Dunphy is her husband, while
Dunphy alleges that while he was
once, a divorce was secured in 18KH,
and that the little boy she has witii
her, and which she claims is his, she
got from the foundling's home at St.
Louis and that she came here simply
to make trouble and seek revenge.
Dunphy says he has three other
charges to bring against the woman
as soon as the present one is disposed
of. Dunphy bears an excellent reputa
tion here. Sensational developments
are looked for, as it is believed that
Mrs Ryan will shoot Dunphy if she
gets an opportunity.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 21.—Contrary
to the announcement made a few days
ago that nothing further would be done
in connection with the matter of ex
porting wheat from Russia until the
czar returns from Livada early in De
cember, a ukase from his majesty

A Military Move.
London, Nov. 81.—The announce
ment of the Russians prohibiting
against the export of wheat influenced
the market for American railroad se
curities which became strong. The.
Chronicle's St Petersburg correspon
dent says it is expected that the ex
portation of horses to Austria and tier
many will be prohibited. This and the
prohibition of wheat are regarded as
having a military significance.

THE WAR CLOUD GROWING.
It Begins to Look at If Huulft and Auitrla
Would Piglit.
Viknna, Nov. 10,—There rooms tc
have boon considerable foundation foi
the depression reported at the closing
hours yesterday on all the European
bourses, with tho exception of l’nrls.
The newspapers of the eontlnont this
morning are bristling with alarming
rumors, dark references and sensa
tional Intimations. Prominent amonir
these is a report, said to be well
fouuded, that the Russian government
has ordered a reinforcement of 40,000
troops to be dispatched to tho frontier
and that orders hure been is
sued to largely increase tho burrock
accommodations at various points
along the Russian frontier, Generally
coupled with this announcement is the
report, believed to he correct, that the
Austrian government, in addition tc
the reinforcements recently sent to the
Ualaclan frontier, has ordered a large
body of troops to bo dispatched to
strengthen the frontier guards.
Tacked on to these significant
statements is tho fact that tho
Gorman war office has ordered
a large number of portable
tents to be mauufastured for the use
of the eastern army corps, with the
view, it is openly stated, of sheltering
German troops from tho inclemency of
the weather in the event of war this
winter with Russia. Additional bar
racks room is also being provided in
many towns along the Russo-German
trontlor and several cnvnlrv corps have
been strengthened in military dis
tricts which, would have to beur the
first onsluughtcr of the Russian armies
Tho opinion previously expressed in
these dispatches that the cxnr and liic
advisers aro being driven to despera
tion on account of famine troubles, in
ternal political difficulties and finan
cial complications, are brought to an
acute stage by tho recent fuilure to
float the new Russiun loan, and tliai
war would be a positive relief from
these complications, seem to be gain
ing ground rapidly, and may be tlo
calise of much of the prosent uneasy
feeling. This feeling has been in
creased by the fact that the Russian
minister of war is said to have
suddenly abandoned the project
of purchasing the new smokeless
powder, small calibre rifles in France
and to have ordered the government
ammunition works to work night uno
day at the task on hand for soinu time
past of tilling old lierdan cartridge
with smokeless powder. Finally i
number of veteran regiments urc being
transferred from Finlund to tlm Aiis
trin frontier, while recruits ulonc arc
being sent to the Jialtic provinces, in
view of these fai ls, it is not astonish
ing that the bourses urc depressed and
that the Austrian emperor, muy in an
unguarded moment, have uttered
words which he has since regretted
and which may have involved the
Tngeblatt in a criminal prosecution.

THE ALUANci.
The f. M. B. A. Takes an Oatli, bat Pre
serves Its Independence.
Indian Aroi.ts, Ind., Nov. 31.—At an
early hour this morning National Lec
turer Willetts stated that he had just
initiated the F. M. B. A. into the alli
ance. This furnishes a basis for an
exaggerated report to the effect
that the two national organ
izations had consolidated or at
least that is wbnt allience men
say it was simplv a meeting between
alliance and F. M. B. A. members and
fourteen of the latter were received in
the alliance, the oath being adminis
tered by Willetts. This does not
amalgamate the two organizations nor
do the members forfeit their member
ship in the F. M. B. A. by subscribing
to the alliance oath, tho F. M. B. A.
into the alliance.
Hraslilan Attain.
London, Not. SI.—There is one Im
portant Item of news here this morn
ing in regard to the iroublea in Brazil.
The Times' Santiago correspondent
cablos that Silvcria Martins now holds
the key to the situation in Brazil. Ac
cording to the same correspondent, S
Martins is a "strong democrat and
friendly to Dom Pedro." From other
sources the reported repulse of Fonse
ca's two gunboats and a torpedo boat
seem to be confirmed, though the al
leged dotails obtainable are conflicting
to a great degree. The insurgents, it
is claimed, continue to receive rein
forcements of men and money with v
munitions of war, and as Fon
seca's squadrou in the upper
Uruguay river is said to have
hauled down thu flag of the United
States of Brazil and to have hoisted
in its place the white flag with a red
ball centre of the so called republic of
the south. This squadron is then said
to have joined the insurgents force
and they have been received with en
thusiasm. The firing cf guns,
much cheering and entertainments of
a festive nature with negotiations be
tween the dictators and the revolution
ists, are said to be broken off, as the
latter would be content with nothing
less than his complete surrender. On
the other haDd negotiations between
the insurgents and the government of
Uruguay are said to be progressing in
a manner favorable to the junta.
