farmers willgo it alone 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 e8, the expense of maintenance be g enormous. The government own rstup of railroads implies one of two her schemes. It would foster politi corruption and be an arbitrary in ference with private rights in many . ei in conclusion, the committee tj. ^r®ssed a desire to co-operate with nila,Ulance in carrying out its princi din» ,. e innd of trusts and monopolies, the farmer and laborer, ro“I?nf’ an honest ballot and a fair i: , anti selecting for places of pub ««r??or and emolument honest and •“Pable men. ink!)6 executive committee of the anti „rea,sury Party will at once begin organizing the new alli tnd i-a .i01?1 meeting of the allianci a,. ,' ii- A. the third partv move dthusia8 ln<*orec<^ amid the wildes »fMk*' *?• A. elected S.

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 vide for the wider dissemination of 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 tucky, a member of the executive com mittee, and a committee for the Na tional Saddle and llarnessmakers' union asked the council to indorse the label of the union and buy only union made harness. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. ItrRxllliun AfTilrn. IiOSUOS, Nor. 19.—Advices received here by varioifk channels from lirn/.il this morning, seem to point to further success upon the part of the insur gents and to additional trouble foi Marshal Da Fonseca, and to a possibil ity that the new republic of the south, to include the revolted province of lie Grande Do Sul, Uruguay, amt in nddi tion the province of Santa Catharine may soon be a fuit accompli.

The demonstration Is under the especial auspices of the Parnellitos, but it 1* probable that the McCarthyite* will claim a right to participate in the ex ercises, and in that event a collision between the two factions will be inev itible. The Castle authorities huve or dered all the available polloe force, as well as several companies of military, to be in readiness near the scene, but there will be no interruption to the demonstration unless a disturbance li first precipitated by the particlpanta 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. O'Shea Heard From.
