ST. PAiir. , Minn. , Sept. 14. Theodore ftl.
Mueller , editor of the State , the alliance
newspaper organ in the northwest some
where , who offora the famous wheat circu
lar , asking the famors to hold hack their
grain for an advance in pticos , has issued a-
second circular following upon tno sugges
tions of the first , with figures nud arguments
iu support of the imposition that wheat Is
bound to advance to $ 1.60 or * 2 , and farmers
should profit by it. Ono million copies of
this circular nro being mailed , besides the
00,000 copies of the current Issue of the
State , In which tno circular is rnprintcd.
I The circular opens with the statement that
the farmers will bo saved millions of dollars
if the ndvice given in the document are fol
lowed. Alliance secretaries nro instructed to
give the circular ns wide a distribution as
possible , while newspapers are requested to
publish the same. Continuing tbo circular
says :
Need Honest Advisers.
"Tho farmer needs honest advisers , who
understand tbo situation , because ho has too
many of the other kind now , and it is high
tlmo that bo Is learning to discriminate
among bis counselors. There Is , in the first
line , the elevator men nnd the millers , the
pram dealers , speculators and largo com
mission firms , end these nowspauer men
who go to them for their information about
the condition of the market nnd lay It us
valuable- truth before tbo public. A few
months ago the advisers predicted low prices
on account of small crops in the United
Stales and advised the farmers to sell ns
soon as tboy bad a cbanco.
"If nt that tlmo their , advisers did not tell
the farmers the condition of the European
crops were such during this crop year that
wheat must inevitably reach the highest
price ever obtained , they were either very
Ignorant mon or they were knaves who
wanted to profit by spreading lies and sup
pressing truth.
' 'In either case they wore unfit counselors ,
and ns two months have not likely changed
their intelllircuco or honesty , the farmers
bad better.bowaro of them.
"Thoy , of course , admit now , when the
question has been thoroughly Investigated ,
tnnt n shortage exists in Europe which no
surplus of our country can satisfy , but still
they talk the farmer Into sacrillciug his in
terests.
'
"TJm p'-oss , for instance , is literally over
flowing with articles congratulating the
fanners on the crops raised. These news
paper articles are at least suspicious , for wo
hope that few newspaper men are so igno
rant that they don't , know that n largo crop
Is'no-ground for'congratulntion to the farmer.
It is'tho farm value of the crop , which does
not depend on its size , ns the following will

"Tho nbovo flguros nro very slgnilicnnt ,
They provo that it does not matter how
largo tbo farmer's crop is , but what ho gets
for It ; for while the crops during the Ilrst
four years in the nbovo table oxcocd by 100- !
000,000 bushels the other four years , the
farmer got $4,000,000,000 loss for thorn.
Therefore , look with suspicion on the news
paper articles congratulating farmers about
the Immense crops nnd upon these who Inspired -
spirod thorn. The same parties enlighten
the farmers that Europe will need nil they
have raised and moro , but they cannot buy It
nt exorbitant rates. This is true and It only
remains to bo ascertained when exorbitant
prices commence. The shortage can bo fig
ured witu nccur.xcy.
Kuropo'H Shortage.
"About a week ago a congress of gram deal
ers from all parts ot Europe mot nt Vienna ,
Austria , nnd computed ilguros about the crop
In Europe. These ilguros are the highest
which well Informed , reputable- men could
furnish , for in n famine year 11 Ko this should
they give for the crop of any ono country
lovvor flguros , lower than circumstances jus-
tilled , the govern meut of that country would
certainly remonstrate. It Is surely the policy
of Europeans not to exaggerate their disas
ter , and the flguros of the Vienna congress
show that Europe raised i.T > 3,000,000 bushels
of wheat and 411,000,000 bushels of rye loss
than last year. Last year it consumed alt
of its own wheat crop and nt least .10.000,000
bushels ot reserves , 100,000,000 bush
els exported from America , all that
other countries could supply and all its rye
crop. This year It will have from America
IUO.000,000 bushels moro than last , if wo take
the extreme flguros which any reputable
authority has made for our really splendid
crop.
"It will have , ns usual , what other coun
tries supply , which Is very insignificant , but
it will have 748,000,000 bushels less of Its
own crop , nnd 50,000,000 loss to bo drawn
from reserves. In short , It will have VJO-
000,000 bushels exported from America to
make up a deficiency of 703,000,000 , and must
consequently oat 078,000,000 bushels less
grain.
"Hyo bolnp dearer in Europe than wheat ,
the latter becomes n substitute , and Is equally
affected by deficiency in the rye or wheat
supply.
"U'hon It is entirely certain that Europe
ans will have to economize in broad to iho
extent of 1)78,000,000 ) bushels and when the
situation Is aggravated by the partial failure
ot the potato crop , it is to bo considered what
prices they would pay for American wheat ,
The above named advisors of the
American farmer tolls him that
u price of $1 nor bushel In Chicago
cage U about the highest the Europeans will
stand and they will rather cat other things
than pay moro for wheat. Let us see bow
this is. They surely cannot substitute meat
for broad , because , t the highest price for
ivhuat over known , bread still remains the
cheapest food over mado. When driven to
extremities they substitute corn , oo/s aiid
barloy. and they will have to do so now , for
with all the wheat raised there is not enough
on this planet , there Is not no r enough , to
como nuywhoro near making up the dellcicn-
ov , nnd whoi > It becomes necessary to draw
on these products to till the shortage they
will also rlso to heretofore unknown prices.
Higher 1'rlocs Paid lor Wheat.
"It being admitted that the shortage In
European crops Is far thoworst over known In
history , It would be only natural for Europ
eans to expect higher prices .
"Tho highest price for wheat for the last
thirty-two years In England , on a gold basis ,
was $1.41 $ per bushel , which now corresponds
With R price of (1.21 in Chicago.
"During the eight highest years of that
period , namoly. IbOt , 1MT , ISO ! ? , 1S71 , 1B7'J ,
167:1 : , 1S71 and 1887 the nvorago price wan
ll.77 ft equal to $ l.67 i In Chicago. During
18)17 ) and 18US , the average price was f 1.05 ,
aid price * ' , v ut as high us t'-V l per bushel ,
equal to moro than $3 In Chicago. Though
Avell posted about European affairs , wo do
not recollect that these prices changed the
diet of the Europeans to any great extent
nnd the exorbitant prices which will prevail
nil over Europe this vcar , ns the farmers'
advisers say , will not cause Europeans to
refuse to take our wheat , and such a prece
dent must , therefore , bo somewhere beyond
past experience.
"Tho shortage In Europe , being four times
as largo as the American surplusr there Is no
doubt that the price of wheat will reach the
highest ilcuro ever known before this year Is
\i and will exceed It by far before the now
crops como In.
"European countries which lend us thou
sands of millions of dollars nro not going to
live very easily on boiled hay nnd roots. The
talk that ? 1 wheat In opening Is a high price
under present circumstances is absolutely
idiotic , for an average price In England being
$1.41 no ono In Europe dares expect to cut
wheat" ! cents below an average price this
year.
"Speculators having made reckless con
tracts with Europeans , succeeded In drawing
out of farmers enough winter wheat to till
their engagements so far , by offering for
cash wheat ubouT at much us they promised
to sell for In December.
Untrustworthy AdvUorH ,
"Holding up the Chicago quotations and
proving that the prices for cash wheat were
equal to December futures , the agents , who
overrun the country , said to the farmers :
'Why should you hold your wheat and incur
all your expense. " and risk If you can buy for
delivery In December the same nrttclo for the
sumo price at which you sell now I1 This ar
gument succeeded so well that speculators
grow bolder and oven reduced the prices n
lltllo in hopes of gottlng the spring wheat
crop still cheaper.
"It Is talked all ever America nnd Europe
that wheat from Minnesota and the Dakotns
will flow In at a rate which will bo limited
only by the capacity of railroads for carrying
it. It is said that wheat will como In so fast
that there will not bo money enough to buy
nnd elevator cap.icitr to store it. Of course ,
if the fanner should Insist on offering moro
wheat than there is money to buy , ho could
keep prices down n little , even if the
grain were worth its weight in silver. But
unfortunately for speculators , there is little
prospcct'thnt this tremendous rush mto the
market will take place.
"Tho warning came in good season to the
spring wheat farmers , so that they have had
tlmo to discuss the question nnd they will
hold back much better than the speculators
expected. Wo are perfectly assured of this
by our eorrosuondonts.
"Tnoso who are forced by absolute neces
sity to soil , or who uro too imbccllo to under
stand the situation , are not so numerous that
their actions can keep down prices any
loncth of time , and as soon as the fools are
out of the inarKet intelligent farmers will got
prices adequate to their circumstances.
"The above mentioned class of advisors
want to make farmers believe that they must
como in before navigation closes , while , ns a
fact , during the last llvo years , without ex-
coplion , wheat has brought moro money in
December than September. The same men
talk inccssantlv about our surplus , though
they Know it Is only a quarter of the Euro
pean shortage , while in other years it was
equal to It. Never was there any good rea
son for having wheat prices as low as they
are even todaj' , for wheat crops have never
boon so far In excess of the demand that ex
tremely low prices were justified , nor was it
entirely duo to the action of speculators that
prices became unremuncratlve.
"It was iho idiotic way of western farmers
selling their wheat which broke prices , kept
thoni poor , nearly ruined eastern farmers , re
duced English farm property to halt its
value , and compelled Germany and Franco to
protect their farming industries by high im
port duties.
"By soiling a year's supply during n few
months prices naturally start in very low ,
nnd generally stay there. This year , bow-
over , it will , unfortunately , not make much
difference how low prices start , for wheat
will soon bo over § 1. ( > 0 , no mntior how much
farmers and speculators work to/other to
keep prices down , nnd wo would advise these
who can comprehend the situation to hold
their wheat for $1.50 , nnd add , for every
month they keep it , say 5 cents to the prico.
' There is no doubt they will got that price ,
nnd probably more , and they will got it in
the near future.
"Wo have consulted with many prominent
farmers and the executive ollicors of the
Grain Growers' association , their unanimous
opinion is that farmers should provide them
selves with grnnorics. Wo give working
drawings for a very substantial granory ,
which holds lf 00 bushels and costs little
over 4 cents per bushel. Such a grnnory can
bo insured at low rates , nnd furnishes as
good security for loans ns elevator receipts.
It can bo put up in a couple of days and will
pay lev times the cost this season.
"Wo summarize the nbovo ns follows 1
Beware of ignorant nnd interested advisers.
"Komembor that the yearly Vienna con
gress Is the best authority In the world ,
making its flguros entirely from official re
ceipts , never overestimating the shortage.
"Hemombor that these figures show the
EuroDcan shortage four times ns largo as our
possible surplus.
"Hold your wheat. You cannot got left.
"Wheat is cheap at $1.50 this year. You
will soon sell it at * 2.00.

COXSTANTI.VOPI.K , Sopt. 14. A detachment
of blue Jacket mariners from n British Iron
clad , accompanied by n battery of light Hold
pieces and several gattline guns , landed yes-
torduy morning nt Sigrl , on island of Mlty-
leno , formally occupying that place In tbo
name of the queen of England. There U n
good harbor nt Sigri and it Is supposed the
British naval officers at Mltyleno intend to
fortify the island to make it n coaling station
and rendezvous for tbo British Mediterran
ean fleets. Sigrl Is on the coast of Mltylono
and Is about sixty mllcj from the mouth of
the Dardanelles.
Caused Incitement In Ijondon.
LOXDOK , Sept. 14. Soon ns the report of
the occupation of Mltyleno by n British force
was received here there was considerable ex
citement. Up to 5iO : ! this afternoon Iho offi
cials refused to say anything on the subject.
The general opinion seems to bo that if the
British forces had not landed in the neigh
borhood of the Dardanelles neither the for
eign office nor the admiralty would liavo re
fused to deny a rumor calculated to awaken
the gravest apprehension in financial and
diplomatic circles.
Lata this ovenhiL' another nnd still moro
startling dispatch comes by telegraph from
Athens. It Is that the Greek consuls at
Mltyleno nnd at Smyrna have wired the
Greek government that thirteen British
men-of-wnr landed troops and guns at Slgri
on Friday and that they have already
strongly fortified that placo.
Lord Salisbury's chief private secretary
has returned unexpectedly to London and is
busy at the foreign office.
The St. James Gazette , this 'evening , says
tnnt the startling news concerning the island
of Mitylono obviously possesses political sign -
n Iff can co of the first importance. Continu
ing , the same paper adds that the island of
Mitylono has n position of considerable )
strength and importance , although possess
ing little iu the way of fortifications.
Accentuates the Diplomatic Crisis.
LOXDOX , Sopt. 14. An intimation of the
intention of the British government to occupy
an island giving a point of vantage near the
Dardanelles was first heard of in the inner
diplomatic circles of Vienna nnd Berlin soon
after Sir William White's audience with the
sultan on Friday last. Nothing about it ,
however , appeared in European newspapers
until the Constantinople cables startled the
bourse nnd the publlo today. The re
ports were at first treated as incredible
and are still hold to bo of doubtful authentic
ity or at least exaggerated. In the absence
ot a foreign confirmation of the reports , and
until the details of the action of the British
warship are known , the full signillcnnco of
the movement cannot bo revealed. It can bo
stated on high authority , however , that Sir
William White asked the sultan to assent to
the British occupation of some point within
striking distance of the straits and offering n
good harborage for the fleet. Tenedos and
licslkn Bay were the fleet rendezvous for
1870 and 1878 and have been surveyed recently
nnd were reported to the admiralty adversely.
The offer made to the sultan revived the re
quest which the British government made
in 1877 , prior to the acquisition of Cypress , to
mi rch as o an island near tbo Dardanelles.
This project was long the subject of negotia
tions nnd was abandoned on the signing of
the Anglo-Turkish convention in Juno , 1878.
The seizing of Sigri therefore cannot have
occurred without the connivance of the sul
tan. An official announcement issued in
Constantinople yesterday stated that n com
plete enteuto had been arranged ootwoen Sir
William White nnd the sultan , but the torins
of tbo restored harmony wns not mentioned.
Tno seizure of the island aud its fortifica
tion is magnified by a Berlin report tonight.
It is thought that Lord Salisbury does not
contemplate n permanent occupation of the
island , but has designed the movement rather
ns a demonstration to checkmate the Fronco-
Husslan gamo. The movement accentuates
the diplomatic crisis.
Admiral Perkins , in command of tbo Brit
ish Mediterranean squadron , is about to bo
replaced by Admiral Tryon , who hoisted his
flag in 1857 on the Nile nnd who sailed from
Portsmouth for Gibraltar on Friday to takeover
ever the command.

COXSTAXTIXOPI.K , Sept. 14. It is stated
that the French aud Hussian ambassadors
here have received telegrams from their res
pective consuls in Mltyleno announcing the

have been landed nnd the islet has been sur
rounded with torpedoes.

PAHIS , Sopt. 14. A fooling of uneasiness
has been caused in diplomatic nnd financial
circles "hero by the receipt of n dispatch an-
nounoinir that Sigri , on the west coast of the
Island of Mltylene. belonging to Turkey ,
within easy storming distance of the Dar
danelles , has been occupied by a detachment
of a British troop of marines , landed tboro
from a British ironclad.

"Austria-Hungary's Interest in the Dar

Britain's j" adding , "Can Austria look
on with complacency while Uussla ,
finding herself barred from expanding
through Bulgaria advances by a.shorter
route to the goal shn has in view the seiz
ure of Constantinople. England can com
pensate herself wliu Egypt , but where Is

Hoferring to the alleged Russian plot to
selzo Constantinople by n coup do main , the
Poster Lloyd quotes a document prepared by
Czar Nicholas In lS. > : i , minutely detailing
plana by which a forcoof 10,000 Infantry , two
solinas of Cossacks and thirty-two guns could
force a passage of the Bosporus and carry
Constantinople. Admiral Monscblkoff , the
principle schemer of tbo czar , It Is said , then
proposed ns an alternative n surprise party
landing nt Bourgaz seaport in eastern Hou-
manla , sovcnty-thrco miles northeast of the
Adrian sea , situated on the Gulf of Hourgaz.
The Idea was that after landing unexpectedly
u small Hussian force could from there make
n rush upon Constantinople and capture It
before the powers could intervene. Admiral
Mcnzhikoff also pronounced this plan not
feasible.

KvxsAsCirr , Mo. , Sopt. 14. The blowing

strange death of bis wlfo by poison have
seemingly crazed Joseph M , Juvenal , Twlco
this morning ho insanely attempted to do
murder.
This was tbo day net for the urollmlnnry

with bio ving up Juvenal's house with dyna

whom Juvonnl Jlltod for the woman who sub
sequently tiocamo 'his wife , nnd who died
from the effects of arsenical poisoning List
Saturday.
The arrangements for the trial were
unique. The crowd of people who wanted to
hear tbo trial was too great to bo accommo
dated in iho small oftloo of Justice Herring.
Tboro Is a largo lodgq room ever the Justice's
oftlco which could bo procured for the hearing -
ing at a rental of $7.50 , and , so as not to dis
appoint the hundreds of people anxious to
hoar the trial , the Judge announced that it
the necessary sum could bo raised among tbo
crowd to pay the rent , bo would ndjourn
court to the ledge room. Two constables
passed around their hats and soon the desired
amount was raised. The Justice then an
nounced that court would bo bold In the
room above.
The case had attracted wide attention in
Armourdalo , and among the friends of the
parties Interested the feeling had run high.
As n precautionary measure , therefore , the
Justice ordered that every male spectator
should bo searched for weapons before being
admitted to the court room. Two consta
bles were stationed at the entrance nnd they
made the search. A half bushel of revolvers
nnd other weapons of various kinds were
gathered from the crowd. Juvenal gave up
two revolvers , and John Hale , attorney for
Mils Pfoffman , gayo up ono. The search ,
however , was not a very exhaustive ono , and
the constables failed to find a dagcor which
Juvenal had secreted in an inner pocket and
a derringer which Ilnlo had placed beyond
the searchers' roach.
The trial was about to begin when Juvenal
suddenly drew his dagger and made for
Halo. Before ho could roach him , however ,
ho was intercepted by the bystanders , who
disarmed him. Ilnlo was expecting the at
tack and drew his derringer. Ho , too , was
disarmed.
After a bnsty consultation with the attor
neys Justice Herring adjourned court.
Juvenal was arrested and was taken to the
central police station , wnero Hoportor Hutton -
ton of the Times followed to interview him.
When Hutton was admitted to the corridor
Juvenal seized a heavy steve iron and would
have beaten the reporter to death but for the
interference of the guards.
It is believed Juvenal has becoino insane
as u result of his troubles.

Sept. 14. ( By Mexican Cable to the Herald-
Special to Tun Bii.J : : Balmaceda has os *
capcd from the clutches of his enemies nnd Is
now safe on the high seas , under the protec
tion of the United States Hag. All the tlmo
the soldiers of the Junta wcro guarding the
stiotvy passes of the Andes to prevent his
getting Into tlio Argentine Republic , nnd the
police of the new provisional government
were searching the monnstorys in nnd around
Snn Dlago for the fugitive ex-president , ho
was in biding in this city. Hero ho was moro
nut to escape detection than anywhere else
for his opponents never dreamed that ho
would dare to remoln In Vnlpanso , they
being assured ho l > ad lied.
A rumor roaches mo of the house whore ho
received shelter , but as It Is unconllrmod I
do not want to do the proprietor an injustice
by stating what may turn out to bo untrue.
At any rate Balmaceda had chosen his
refuge wisely , for ho was enabled to throw
himself upnn the mercy of Admiral Brown
Of the flagship San Francisco , nnd beg to bo
removed from the revenge ho feared from his
foes. Admiral Brown did what nil
the other foreign admirals would
liavo dorto under similar circumstances.
Ho stopped in to save a human life.
in the nnmo of humanity ho consented to af
ford Bnlmaccda the shelter ot his ship and
the protection of the stars and stripes. How
to effect the ex-president's escape wns then
the next question. It wns seen that it would
bo a most difllcult undertaking , Balmnccda
being so well known to and cordially bated
by so many residents of Valparaiso.
After many plans hud been suggested , dis
cussed nnd rejected ns too risky , ono was at
last hit upon that It was thought would work
successfully : This was nothing loss than to
have Balmnccda disguise himsclt as a drunken
United States sailor. The clothing was sent
nshoro In a masked boat last night by order of
Admiral Brown. They were smuggled by
ono of Balniacoda's faithful adherents Into
the house whore the ox-president was in
hiding. Ho carefully donned them , and after
a close Inspection of his new and strange nt-
tire to see that there was nothing about to
got up which would arouse suspicion , ho stole
out by a rear entrance into the street.
Nightfall favored his disguise and ho had
studied his part so well that he feigned a
drunken tar to perfection. In his way
toward the water front ho passed by many
mcji who would have boon delighted to have
had the chance to seize and hand him over to
the police authorities.
In tlmo ho reached the spot in the harbor
that had been arranged upon. Theroho found
n boat waiting. It was inaniicdv-by sturdy
United States men-of-war's men. Balmacoda ,
Btill maintaining his disguise , made his llnal
drunken stumble and fell into the boat. It
pushed off nt once and in n short time the ox-
president , all signs of inebriety at an end ,
clambered swiftly up tno ropes and was
saved. He went at once to ono of the cabins
aft of the San Francisco and did not again
show himself above deck. That part of the
vessel was reserved solely for its prominent
puest. Nobody wns allowed to visit his
cabin. The ofllcers of the San Francisco
were questioned about the matter but reso
lutely refused to discuss it. The San Fran
cisco loft Valparaiso this evening for Callno. .
Thence it will sail for California. Balmaceda
may elect to land at Callao , where many of
.Jjjs lcadipjt. partisans have already boou
taken by forclgn-sjifp'iijjon oonrd , whicluthpy
sought refuge after th'6"faU of. 'Valparaiso.
Admiral Bro\vn'.s action will undoubtedly ,
for a time nt least , ' increase tlio bitter fooling
hero towards tlio United States government ,
although the admirals of the other foreign
vessels have taken prominent Balmacodlsts
abroad. The -Gorman admiral , it will bo re
membered , gave refuge to Claudia Vicuna ,
who was elected to succeed Balmaceda as
president and refused to oooy the German
minister's orders to surrender him and the
oihor refugees. The United btates war ship
Baltiinoro returned hero today from Callno ,
where she had landed refugees.
Officials have been despatched by the Junta
to Europe to bring over the new Chilian war
ships Pinto and Errnquariz. Naval com
mands have been assigned to nil the Chilian
Hoot. Some of the adherents of the congres
sional party , while returning from Monte
video on the British steamer John Elder ,
were , upon their arrival nt Punta Arenas ,
threutonod with arrest by Bnlnwcedn's gov
ernor there. Ho had not yet heard the news
of Bulmacedn's downfall. The British cap-
tain'refused to deliver the persons up and
they arrived bore safely today.

ChanoeK Cor n Split In the National
Farmero' Alliance.
Sr. Lot-is , .Mo. , Sept. II. Messrs. W. S.
McAllister and U. S. Hall , members of the
executive committed of the farmers' alliance ,
hud u conference this afternoon to consider
whotncr or not the meeting of the anils'
convention , which begins tomorrow , will bo
secret or open. After looking over the
ground carefully It was decided to hold the
convention with open doors nnd the public Is
invited to bo present.
The decision has been reached to BO into anew
now national organization. The idea is to
create an industrial alliance nnd adopt n
policy as to eligibility that will admit a pow
erful class heretofore excluded from member
ship. The order Is to bo non-political and
non-secret.
Delegates from Texas , Mississippi , Arkan
sas , Kansas nnd Minnesota have arrlvo 1 , and
every train brings representatives of thonnti-
sub-treasury nnd anti-third party wing of
the farmers' alliance. The probabilities this
afternoon all point to an attendance of be
tween 400 and 000 delegates. The Texan dele
gation. where the alliance originated , is a
unit for the new organization , and a lot of
hard work U being done in that direction.
The concensus of opinion scon's to bo that
the now national alliance is n certainty.
Ex-Lecturer McAllister , who recently bad
tno scrimmage with AlcCune , is outspoken
for the new organization.
Mr. U. C. Brayg , who is nt the head of the
Texas delegation , speaking for his people }
said that the objects of tno convention wns
the formation of a now alliance , or to speak
more correctly , to depose Polk , Livingston ,
Macnno nnd "other leaders , and elect now
national ofllccrs.
Tbo representatives now hero are also op
posed to the National Economist nnd the
Southern Mercury , to the payment of dues
by the state alliance to the national organiza
tion , and to the payment of the expenses of
"demagogues" who create discord. Ills pro
posed to go back to tbo ilrst principles of the
original alliance , making it n strictly farm
ers' order , cutting loose from all others
whoso interests nro not allied with the
farmers. Mr. Bragg said that the farmers
will no longer submit to the bossism pro
claimed by Mncuno nnd Polk , and the policy
advocated bv those leadorj , tlmt the mem
bers must blindly follow them , will bo re
versed. President Hall said tonight that in
all liltollhood W. S. McAllister , , who gained
national prominence through his encounter
with Dr. Macune , will bo elected president
of tbo new allianco.

to Tun BJE. : I From nearly every pulpit in
the state yesterday the church members were
exhorted to send delegates to the state tem
perance convention which convenes in' this
city tomorrow night. The object of the con-
vcntion Is to again arouse public Interest in
, the state prbhlbltion law , which , has been
threatened by recent action of Iho polit
ical parties. Tlio refusal of the
republican league to incorporate prohibition
in the platform and tbo recent letter of Wil
liam Higgins , secretary of state and an old
prohibition leader , pronouncing it a dead
issue , has stirred up the prohibitionists.
In this cltv yesterday the ministers declared
that the temperance people must stand up
and bo counted. President Troutman of the
Temperance union today denied thostatemont
that the Temperance union would take stops
to strengthen the third party prohibitionists
in order that it might hold the balance of
power between the people's party ami the
democrats. "I have no doubt , " ho said , "of
the republicans sticking by prohibition , but
these demonstrations are necessary In order
to hold it inline. "
