THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. AN ADDRESS PROM THE EXECU TIVE COMMITTEE. Emboldened by Their Capture ot the Farinern' Alliance at IndlnnapollH They Claim That All Labor Will Unite in a Concentrated Political Movement. The National Execulivo committee ls sued an address to the people of the coun try from Indianapolis which says that the People's party will have a candidate for President In the field for 1892; that no lu lluenco of the old political organizations or aggregated capital can prevent a hearty and unanimous coming together of all labor forces of the country, whether em ployed in the workshop, mine or farm. "The people have beheld," it says, "with growing alarm continual advance of con ditions carrying the country every day fur ther away from the principles and tradi tions of the founders of the Republic and nearer the abyss in which can be seen only a crushing oligarchy or the dreadful alter native of eevflulion and anarchy. It Is for the purpose of saving free institutions by the peaceful instrumentalities of educa llon and the ballot that the People's party liaa been organized." The aidress devotes omc space to the scoring of railroad cor toratlons, corrupt legislatures, debauched juries and judges, and banking associa tions which make or wreck as their interests dictate, and says th dally newspaper press has become coerced by its business necessities into becoming the ready instru ment to bind the shackcls of serfdom on the limbs of free people, to confuse their minds by sophistry, fill their cars with falsehood, uphold everything destructive to the public good and crush everything that would help the people. "As a striking Instance of the colossal lies with which the Jieoplo arc misled," says the address, "we point to the vote of tho People's party tills year in Kansas. Ninc teuths of the population of this country, iu consequence of the gross misrepresenta tion of the press, believe that tho People's party vote in Kansas this year fell off greatly from that of last, while the fact is that it actually increased about 11 per cent. The Republican majority in South Dakota was reduced from 10,000 in 1890 to 2,700 tills year, w hile in Nebraska the Peo ple's party came within 8,000 votes of de feating the combined power of both the old parties and elected eleven District Judges." THE FREE SILVER DEMAND. The Denver Mining CongresN IleclareH in Favor of Plenty of Alone)-. The committee on resolutions appointed by the Mining Congress at Denver reported declaring that the certificates of the gov ernment backed dollar for dollar by gold or silver coin on deposit in the Treasury of the United States is a safe and bound currency and has been approved by the people; that tho first National Mining Congress Is unal terably In favor of the principle of bl-mct-alism; that gold and sliver not one to the exclusion of the other arc the money met als of tho constitution; that gold and silver should have by law equal rights, uses and monetary purposes, and to that end it dc tuanded of the Cougic-s of the United Btatos the enactment of laws by which sil ver shall be coined free in all mints equally with gold ami to have with it a full and un restrained monetary power, and that they he in the ratio of 1C to 1. and when the coinage is represented by treasury notes each dollar shall represent 412 grains of standard sliver or 25.6 grains of gold. Washington State Alliance Men. The Farmers Alliance convention of the State of 'Washington adjourned after a stormy session. A motion made to select three delegates to the State third party convention, their expense's to be paid by the Alliance was ruled out of order by President Sutton. On appeal the Presi dent was overruled and the motion pre vailed. President Sutton declares that he will cxposo the Alliance for its political demonstration. Visited by a Tornado. A disastrous tornado passed over tho Phillipinc Islands, wrecking many vessels and causing great damage. The Lottery Advertising Law. Argument has been made in the Supremo Court at Washington in the anti-lottery cases, in which tho unconstitutionality of "the recent anti-lottery law is involved. The suits arc those brought against Publishers Kapler, of the Mobile Rtuister, and Duprcc, of tho New Orleans Stales. Russia Expects to Fight. Tho Novostl of St. Petersburg declares that tho financial crisis in Iiurlin has de veloped a political crisis; that the war party has gained the upper hand and the prudent Bismarcklan policy has been for gotten in the frantic desire to strike Russia in a moment of weakness. Large Amount of Smuggling. Supervisor Longle of the Treasury De partment, in ids annual report says the Canadian and Mexican borders arc so large that the small force of customs collectors is unable to protect it and thousands of Chinamen and an untold value of goods are smuggled in annually. As to Indebtedness. Census bulletin No. 61 shows that the State and county indebtedness in the North Central division averages S24 per family; counting five persons to a family it is S21.35 in Minnesota, S5G.45 in North Dakota 50.20 in South Dakota, 511.35 in Wisconsin, and 59.53 in Iowa.

Tbeelections for members of the Storth in", in Norway, have just been held. The figures at band, show large gains for the "radical left, which" advocated the appoint- nicnt'elscparate foreign ministries for Swcdan afetLNorway -" Germany Ready tor War. an war office has ordered a r of portable tents manufac- the use of the eastecarmy corns a view to the protaaeMt of the troons from inclement weajjpffin the event of war with Russia. . The TTnftes States cruiser San Franciseo with Admiral Brown has arrived from Chili. The Admiral says in an interview that the conduct of himself and United States Min ister Egan has been entirely Impartial. Boycotting the Celestials. The labor organizations In Butte, Mis soula, Great Falls' and other cities of Mon tana have commenced a strong fight against the Chinese. All the members of the vari ous unions will net patronize the Chinese sad agree to boycott all merchants, saloon xne oenu largQKbe tuerfor men. restaurant keepers, . hotel men and others who employ Chinese in any way. The heads of families arc requested not to employ Chinese as cooks or servants. The fight promises to be a hard one. There are over 4 090 Chinese In Montana, and 1,000 in Butte alone. civiJb WAii In iiHaziL A SeeediBK Province Prepares to Meet the Dictator's forces la the Field. The late dispatches say that the jeal ousies between the insurgents of tho seced ing State, Rio Grande do Sul, have !ccn silenced and a provisional government has iteen agreed on to prosecute the war agalnt the Dictator, Fonseca. They made one of their number, Dr. Assine Bra.ll, Minister of War. Active measures ar being taken to lmproe the defences and increaso the effective strength of the army. The mouth of the Rio Grande, the principal river of the Slate, was obstructed by sinking two ships in the channel, and the river is protected by heavy artillery. The Junta is in full control of all the military stores in the State and of the government factory for making munitions of war. The provincial banks and private persons are offering to furnish the Junta with ample funds to carry forward tho plans that tr.ajr 1 decided upon fot maintaining the independence of the State. The officers sent by Ihe Dictator to take places of those who cast their for tunes with tho Insurgents in Rio Grande do Sul have arrived at Monte Video and pro pose to proceed at once to their destination. They assert that several men-of-war nro now on their way to Rio Grande and others nro being made ready to follow. The rfu gees from Rio Janeiro who reached Monte Video exprcos tho opinion that Fonseca will not be able long to maintain himself. His cause is lost, they say. Only the fear of mob violence in their opinion, now re strains the discontented opposition at the Brazilian, capital from active steps against Fonseca. PAID SECRLT REBATES The Federal Grand Jury In Chicago Finds Railroads and Shippers Guilty. The federal grand jury at Chicago re turned a number of indictments against shippers ttnd one railroad hian for practic ing it system of secret rebates. Indictments were returned as follows: For obtaining rebate less than the card tariff, the follow ing members of tho firm of Swift & Co.: Gustavus S. Swift, Edwin C. Swift, Louis F. Swift and D. Edward Harpnell; for the same offense, George and John Firmenichs, glucose manufacturcrsyof Marshalltown, la.: forgiving rates less than the estab lished tariff, Georgo B. Spriggs, general freight agent of the New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railway. The members of the firm of Swift & Co. wero indicted for obtain ing rebates on the legal tariff rates from the Nickel Plate Road. In the last six months Swift & Co. received over 30,090 in rebates for meat shipped over that road alone. The violation of law committed by the Firmenichs was even greater than the charges against the Swifts. The glucose company they control at Marshalltown is an immense concern, having brarches ail over the west and an office In Chicago. It was shown that over SSO.OOO in rebates was paid to the firm in the last six months. That the only railroad man Spriggs was indicted was somewhat of a surprise, but not a few other railroaders barely escaped. The evidence against them was not suffi ciently strong. None of those indicted were arrested, but they will be compelled to ap pear and give bail for trial. The penalty for freight discrimination is set down in the law at a fine of 51,000 to 5,000, and impris onment from one to three years, or both, in the discretion of the court. -ALASKA FOR ALASKANS." A Spirit or Revolt Growing in the North ern Regions. Advices from Alaska state that the peo ple up there are much Incensed because Congress has not taken notice of their de sire for a proper territorial government. An Alaskan newspaper, in a recent issue, suggests, in view of tne injustice suffered from appointive officers under successive administrations, that the people assemble In convention, prepare a bill for a terri torial reform government and demand its approval by Congress. If Congress refuses to pass it, every resident of Alaska is ad vised to rise, unfurl the motto of "Alaska for Alaskans." elect their own judicial offi cers and resist all processes emanating from officials whose tenure ot office is under the original act Pneamatlc Mall Tubes. Postmaster General Wanamaker will probably ask Congress to appropriate some thing for experimenting with the pneu matic tubes for mall service In the large cities. The department has- no money available for such a purpose. Inquiries however, have been made into the possibil ities of system. It Is said that the pneu matic tubes work bettor in Berlin than in other European cities. There the system costs $700,000 and it has proved profitable. It has also Increased the telegraph receipts, and as the government controls the tele graph, that has been a gain. The Fare to San Francisco. When the news was received from St. Louis announcing that the Transcontinen tal Association had refused, to grant the S50 rate for delegates to the Republican convention, if it is held in San Francisco, which rate had been guaranteed by the Southern Pacific company to the committee of business men who have gone to Washing ton 10 lay tho San Francisco offer before the national committee of tho respective parties, Vice-President Stubbins, of the Southern Pacific, said: "Our guarantee for the 550 rate holds' good." The Pork Was Not Inspected. An official inquiry in Germany into the report that American pork Infested with trichina: was imported into Dusseldorf brings out the fact that the diseased pork did not bear the stamp of Americen inspec tion. Consequently there will be no inter ference with the admission of American pork in a healthy condition which has been properly certified to. Treasury Snap in Wisconsin. In the trial of the State Treasurers of Wisconsin for moneys of the State unlaw fully turned into their private pockets. Ex -State Treasurers Kuehn and Hactz ad mitted that loans to. the banks were made and that the treasurers received 3 to 3 per cent.

THIRD PARTY VICTORY. Tha People's Party Claim to Hate Cap tured the Alliance; the People's party men claim to have captured the Alliance as a result of tho general election for officers at Indianapolis, President Polk was unanimously re-elected; II L. Loucks, of South Dakota, was chosen Vice President: J. II. Turner re-elected Secretary and Treasurer, and J. F. Willetts, of Kansas, nationcl lecturer Mr. Polk, in his animal address Tuesday night, so severely condemned tho old parties and so strongly Indicated his tendencies to the People's party movement that his re-election 1 regarded as a great Victory for the People's paity. The election of Mr. Loucks as Vice President Is regarded as a greater vidtory, from the fact that he is a member of tho National committee of the People's party. The fact that a large number of Alliance delegates are also members of other Industrial organizations and working together would indicate that the trend of their action was to unification of all and in the 'dlrectian of independent political action. LOTTERY1TES ON TOP Primary Elections In Louisiana Cap tured by the Lottery Men. The result of the first week's Democratic primaries in Louisiana on the lottery ques tion Is un favorable to the opponents ot the lottery company.

The week's election show 82 votes anti-lottery and 18 in favor of tho submission of the matter. McEnery, for Governor, has 191 votes, and Adams, Presi dent of the Farmer's Alliance. 66.

Special Indian .Allotting Agent McKean has just returned from a trip to the old camping grounds of Big Foot's band of Indians which partici pated in the late Indian massacre. Ills object in going there was to allot tne remnantW this once large band's land in sevcratlyijupon the ceded lands. There remains aDout fifty families of the band and they arc under Chief Red Cloud. The day beore the allotting agent arrived the band had sold out all their stock and took their departure. Their sudden departure has created quite i commotion, as the Indians am not permitted to leave an agency with out getting a permit from the agent. Rig Foot's band did not get a permit, but skipped out, presumably for Pino Ridge agency. A half dozen Indian nnlicemcn were sent after them and overtook them at a ranch about half jyayjjctwpcn their old home and pine Klugc. iliey cnueavoreu 10 persuauu them to return back to the agency with them. Thisvthey refused to do and tho Indian poiicemcrV'-rc'portcd to tho agent. When JIcKcan left a large force of In dian policemen had been detailed to bring them back at any hazard. Tho object of these Indians in going back to Pine Ridge is not known, but must be pure "cussedness,'" as they cannot draw rations there and they might have se cured tho agent's permission to pay a visit if they desired. The proceeds from the sale of their stock will last them for some time. It is not supposed that they premeditato another uprising, but arc of a naturally mean disposition and wanted to break tho government rules. m ONE SHERIFF TOO MANY. Sully County, South Dakota, Boasts ol Two Shoriffx. Sully County-, S." D..' is having a red hot time over "who owns the office" of Sheriff. Last fall at the general elec tion, when it camo tov the count, the commissioners threw out .one 'precinct becauso of alleged fraudulent -voting, which turned the scale for one office, as in that case Faust, tho Republican candidate was elected, while if (Icod water precinct had been counted, Smith, the Independent candidate, would have been the winner for Sheriff. The matter was taken to the Circuit Court and Judge Fuller declared that thoie should be a recount, and that Coodwater precinct should be figured in on the new deal. This was dono and Smith was given a certificate of election by tho Auditor. Now Sully County has two Sheriffs, as Faust refuses to give up the keys to his desk and claims he is yet Sheriff.

Two freight trains collided at Fre mont, causing a frightful wreck. One train was sidetracked, but a brakeman had 16ft tho switch open and tho fast froight crushed into the cabooso, in which were twenty people. Ell Hul ben, the brakeman who left tho switch open, was working in the second car frHin thu caboose unloading merchan dise ahd was crushed into eternity. P. M. Barnhouso, conductor, was bally mangled and died within an hour. E. C. Hardy, an Omaha traveling man. was wedged between some trunks and a coal stove, where he was compelled to stay until a hole was cut through the side of the car, through which he was extricated. His recovery is doubtful. J. A. Bothwell and F. A. Cornett arc badly injured. An unknown lady had her collar bone broken, and several others were badly shaken up. The engineer and fireman of the through freight escaped by jumping. The wreck took lire and burned. BEATRICE'S DAMAGING FIRE. fentire Plant of the Oat Meal Company Destroyed by Flames. The works of the Beatrice Oat Meal Company, four stories in height and ono of the largest concerns of the kind in the West, was destroyed by lire. The fire originated on the second floor, and in an almost incredible short time tho entire building was ablaze Nothing j was saved but a few barrels of the manufactured product. The workmen on the upper floors had a narrow escape The fire is believed to have originated from a steam pipe. The loss on the building, machinery and stock is S20.000, with 50,000 insurance on the building and machinery and 51,000 on the stock. Tho mill was recently refitted and was running night and day to its fullest capacity of 100 barrels every twelve hours. The company already had or ders on its books that would have kept them running through the entire sea son, the product being sold as far West as tho Pacific coast. It will be rebuilt at once. The stockholders of tho con cern destroyed aro all Beatrice capi talists. Burned to a Crisp. Mrs. Anna Mobkissey, an old lady living a few miles north of Davey, Neb., was found burned to a crisp in tho ashes of her home by a neighbor. She had lived by herself for some time. The supposition is that she was sitting by the fire and after falling asleep her dress caught lire. When found nothing remained but her body, her head and imbs having been burned off. A Peculiar Find. When the Union Pacific pay car stopped at Odessa, Neb., a peculiar find was discovered on the pilot of the en gine.

Tho moment ono cre leaves another takes tho engine In hand. Seventeen crews to six engines Is tho present record. Tho farmers, nearly every one of them, are behind In their paymonts and must ha money. Should tho snow prevent tho movement of grain starvation will In many localities end the suffering or struggling families. Thoy must hao coal and food. To obtain these they must secure a market for their crop?, and If the country buyers cannot move tho grain then no money can bo paid for ft." Tho Chicago and Northwestern tells the same story. An ofliclal says: Tho lines connecting with the seaboard are crowded to their greatest capacity. There aro no cars for rental. Even tho Southern lines aro without extra "emptiea" The Jforthwostern Is doing Its utmost to break the blockade. Every available car Is sent to the North western gra'n belts. But traffic is un usually heavy in all commodities and the cars must go out loaded. There are few empty cars in tho country at tho present time. 'I ho farmers, owing to their need or ready money, aro striving to delivor to tho buyers at least 50 per cnt. or their crops. There is elevator room for only a small portion of thi9 vast amount of grain. George H. Ross, superintendent of car and special freight service of the Chi cago, Burlington & Quincy, said tho company could use l,C0O cars more than It now bad to good advantage. Corn would soon begin to pour in, and then a greater shortags in cars would be made annarent. The new crop would be In active movement during December, and a grain blockade would be almost cer tain. The Eastern lines were now un able to meet the demands made upon them. What would be the situation in December he dared not predict God help the farmers of the North west should there be a snow blockade this winter. " This is the sentiment expressed by tho oflicials of every railroad over whoso lines the products of the great grain belts are to be moved. By reason of the anxiety of tho farmers to convert their crops into cash at thu earliest possible moment tho carrying capacity of each company is far too limited to meet the clamorous demand. How long this freight-car famine will continue is solely a matter of conjectnre. The enormous vleld of all cereals, estimated at more than 700,otO,000 bushels in excess of tho crop of 1890, and the greatly increased demand for commodities of every kind arc tho reasons why tho railways are short from f 00 to -',500 cars each. All employes, all locomotives and all cars are being worked to the utmost limit Tho poor crops of the last two years reduced tho tillers of the soil in the Xorthwe-t to extreme poverty. Money th y must have. The lavish kindness of nature in the wheat t.'e ds of 1891 has again filled with hope the hearts of these farmers. 'Ihe Interest on their mort gages may now be paid. Seed Tor noxt year's sow ng is assured. But their sur plus grain must bo converted Into cash. These aro the principal rca ons why the peop'o of the Northwest arc clamor ing for cars. Their n evators of limited capacity are filled. Bins, bed rooms, barns, and even tents are bursting with grain, rive hundred million bushels not vet thrashed arc stacked upon tho prair ies. Tho buyers can take no more. They havo 110 placo to store it To give reliof the railway companies aro doing all that is possible. Every railway through the great Northwestern wheat bolt has made spe cial preparation for hauling to market the phenomenal wheat crop. More fr ight cars were purch: sod than In any other year Iu the railroad history of this section, in addition tho cars wero en larged and 700 bushels of wheat has be come a standard car instrai of 500 a: heretofore, but all preparations aro In adequate, and every road reports a car faniim. Tiio crop is moving even more rapidly than was expo-ted and cars can not be supplied to irect the demand. The Railway Commission lias received and inxestigato i a score of complaints and In every case it has been shown that it was sheer 'inability on the part ot the com panies to furnish sufficient cars. The roads having the longest hauls are suf fering tho most so erely, with tho excep tion of th's Northern lines, from whose territory little complaint comes. The greatest apprehension is now felt for the coal snnnlv. Throush that ereat sec tion of Western country supplied with coal via the lakes and Duluth the de mand for cars is now the greatest for tho crop, and tho pre cnt cold -nap has so stimulated the demand for coal as tc excite the fear that tho car famine will be intensified later on. So great is the shortage of freight cars on the Atchison, Toucka and Santa Fc that tho farmers of Kansas and the Southwest are terribly depressed ovci the poor prospect of an early movement of their crops The company is exerting every effort to move the corn and wheat, and would willingly pay a premium over and above the mileage for empty cars. The farmers of the Southwest, while they need money quite as badly as their brethren or the Northwest, do not race starvation as do the iattor by reason ol the inability of the railroads to handle the grain- "Rushed to our limit," and "Not cars enough by the hundreds" aro the replies of the managers of .the Eastern lines. So heavy, indeed,-is the demand for cars that many shipments cf grain go across the ocean via New Orleans! So it is that the railroads running into Dixie arc in but litt'e belt r shape than those of the North, Vc d East. The Flint and tire Marquette Rail road, which by reason of its differential rate was able to carry grain to the sea b ard ch'apcr-than the all-rail lines, is, it is ta d, in as bad shape as its Western cen tcctrons Ihe Northwestern has is sued to its agents in the Northwest or ders not to accept any freight for deliv ery to the Flint and Pere Marquette. It is said the letter's inability to handle the cereal is the cause of the prohibitive ordtr. AW Along; the Gemot.
