T. McAllister of Canton, Miss., chair- man of the national executive committee of the alliance, heads the committee to induce the alliance to steer clear of the sub-treasu- scheme and the third-part- y idea He said: "We will pre-- a protest against the sub-treasu- and third party schemes and certain irregulari- ties within the order. It is the intention to adjust the matter within the alliance if pos-sible, but if we do not get a hearing, or our grievances are not respected, the organiza- tion of an alliance will be extended to every state. The Texas oppo- nents of these ideas are not awaiting the re-sult of the commission. They have already organized an alliance, which embraces 60 per cent of the total alli-ance strength. The sentiment is also strong in Iowa, Kansas, Michigan and Illinois." The irreguiarr.ies alluded to are embraced m a resolution adopted at the alliance convention held in St Louis, denouncing C. V. McC'une and his henchmen and their corrupt practices as a disgrace to the order and a stench in the nostrils of all honest men who linow of their corruption and villainy. The air is thick with rumors tending to itiplkate certain alliance leaders in connec-tion with certain combinations, and their re-lation with the National Industrial company (formerly the Union Cordage company). It in with tix sL.te agents of this alleged dal that the alliance has to deal, and the al-liance men are here for that purpose. They state thattucy will make charges wnhin the next few days that will make a tremendous sensation and shake the alliance from center to circumference. The former state agent of the Florida alli-ance domiciled himself in New York and be-came the agent ot the Union Cordage com-pany, it is aid that the plan was" to eret a monopoly of the alliance trade. Seductive inducements were held out to fae stpte agents to indriee them to proce-- e the indorsement bj tiieir alliance oi the Union Cordage com-pat- y. In some states the negotiations were successful, but in others the coutiacts by which the alliance stores were supplied .had already been let.

TO CRUSH TRUSTS, CHANCE TARIFFS, CONTROL TRANSPORTATIONS. The Farmers are Loud in Their Declar-ation That They Had Nothing to Do With the Third Party The Air is Full of Dissatisfaction. - Ixdiaxapolis, Nov. 18. The supreme council of the farmers' alliance called the body to order and Mayor Thomas L. Sullivaii was introduced. In a short address he wel-comed the delegates to Indianapolis. J. F. Tillman, secretary of the alliance executive committee, responded. After paying tribute to President Harrison he said: "It is the farming and laboring people who feed the world; who fought the battles of this country, and to whose energy and patriotism this great and glorious land of ours is indebted for its richest blessings, liberty and peace. It is not our mission to tear down nor disintegrate our honestly con-ducted industries, but to eradicate all illegit-ii.ia- te combinations and monopolists that tend to destroy the very spirit and intent of the constitution. AVe are not here as politi-cians seeking to disrupt partisan political parties, 6Y to promote the fortunes of any riolitical aspirant; nor are we here in the.in-tere- st of any third party for by our very or-ganic teachings we have a right to vote with whatever political parly we tiiiak will best advance good government." He called attention to the last "billion dollar congress" and criticized its expendi-tures, which he paid, were more than was spent by ail the congresses oi the first seventy-t-wo years of the history of this govern-ment. This, he said, "'was more than for every man, woman ami child in th Uniled States to support the natiounl goye-rnnien- not including other taxes levied. ' Then he said: 'How long would they endnre it if col-lected directly rrom them instead of indtrect-ly-, as it is now collected through our tariff? Say what you please about the tariff, "cut it must aud shail come down to a reasonable basis of taxation, and th?se reckless expend-iture- f by congress" must be stopped or we will continue to change the personnel every con-gras- s. Yet this is not eu. 'ior is it, at all the bottom which brought about the upris-ing of the people of all parts cf this great country. 'T can best illustrate it by the use of three 'T's,' thtt first letter of three words. These words are 'transportation, tariff and trust.' Here is the trouble, and thrre are three 'CV which are the first letters of three words, 'crush, charge aud control,' the un-written and iron bound oath our iricndly political newspapers abuse us bo much about "I will now tell you what this oatbis. It is to crush trusts, change tariils and control transportation." He"thanKed God for the farmers' alliance and ail kiudred organizations, and then-proceede- "We are going to succeed in our eiforts to obtain a large circulating medium. We must have more currency, and wc will have it. The farmers of the north, who wore blue, have reached soutn and taken the southern farmer, who wore gray, by th3 hand and said to him: 'We have never asked you to surrender to king monopoly and partial legislation, but only to preserve the union alike good for all, and no brave southern farmer ever surrendered to such circumstances. Though deleated, it ws but to save the Union ante the chivalry of the entire s,outh is today te-- termined to preserve the Union and con? he tution aallhazarjdsjin the result is fsnch r "lace downward. "I , '.alee ( '"The farmers' alliance means trie greatev good for the greatest number, ant', is deted mined to have justice for all, and especiallj favors to none. It numbers in 400,000, and it has come to stay, aud will be held in tact as a non-partisa- n organi-zation. The members of all political parties may join the organization, and it will never become a third political party. There is a big political significance in it, but not party political significance, because that would mean hopeless ruin." Tillman's reference to the non-partisa- n nature of the alliance caused something of a sensation, and was received with about equal evidence of approval and disapproval. General J. W. Weaver of Iowa was called for, and made a speech on the general situa-tion, which was received with enthusiasm. He was followed by Congressman JerrT Simpson of Kansas in the same strain. At 2 o'clock the alliauce went into execu-tive session at the board of trade and the national farmers' mutual benevolent asso-ciation at the court house, both discussing the third party movement. The open meetings were a disappointment to the alliance leaders, and in particular to the third party men. The attendance has not been as large as was expeeted, nor the enthusiasm so great. Conflicts of opinion have arisen on" important subjects which threaten to seriously interfere with the work. While the attendance is small the fight for and against the third party move-ment is none the less bitter. The sessions of the F. M. B. A. and the alliance this afternoon were secret, but it is under-stood that the issue w as squarely joined in each, and the result in each case was a drawn battle. Nothing but the final vote can de-termine the relative strength of the factions. At the open meetings last night the atten-dance was less than a thousand. President Polk delivered the annual address. He re-minded the representatives that upon no body has greater responsibilities rested than on this since the Continental congress of 17Tb. For equal rights were no more just then than today "against the inequalities which threaten to undermine the liberties of the people. What are the alleged grievan-ces? From 1S50 to 1S60 farm values increased 101 per cent; from 1S70 to 1880, only 9 per cent. The aggregate wealth if the country increased fro;h 1S70 to l80 over 45 per cent. The crops of 18S4 brought less than 2 per cent more than the crops inlS6. The crops of 1867, though Jess than half as large as those of 1887, brought the farmer $79,500,000 more. Two-third- s of the country's wealth is not assessed for taxation, yet the fanner, possessing only 22 per cent of it, pays bOper cent of the taxes. With modern facilities of transportation and improved machinery the farmer finds himself compelled to sell his produce at prices barely coverinsr the cost. Farm mor-tgages are frightfully largo. In Iowa the n4ortgage indebtedness is $104 per capita, in Kansas $li'.5, in Illinois $100, and everywhere the farmer is over burdened with debt. Therefore, the farmer is appeal-ing now to the supreme tribunal of public opinion, tnd asks a just decision through the ballot-box- . Polk then took up the demands of the farmers, on which he spoke at great length. The sub-treasu- idea, he said, has crown until it is the sentiment of the order in thirty-fou- r states. The constitution declares that congress shall have the power to regu-late commerce. Among others, money, transportation and the tiansinisgion of intel-ligence are essential elements in cemmerce. Does congress regulate these? Organized capital has demanded of congress anl ob-tained control of the volujae of the currency. This has resulted in a fearful augmentation of the centralized money power to the im-poverishment and robbery of honest indus-try. In 1?1 the amount of currency was Wo thousand million dollars, with 37,000,000 population; today, wi;h t&,000,000 people, the volume of currency is reduced to six hundred million; resulting in high-price- d money and low-prce- d articles, entai'ing dis-tress, poverty, suffering and ruin. Uo said: "The supreme question before the people is financial reform. Ihe two great parties have evidently sounded a truce, and, as in the pat, this question will be regarded as neutral ground between them. In thisTisis it is the duty of every true member of the alliance to stand firmly by our principles and demand from all aspirants for our suf-frages an unequivocal definition of their position on this great principle."

'"ihe oniv uou )les KiHA,n ot," said one of the r.ariui'ue's iUcers, the nitrht of October -- .

"On the following night the police aud students met in j. row v hich resulted in the death of two of the latter, and a number of minor casua.ties.

Loxdox, Nov. IS. No confirmation is yet received of the Exchange Telegraph com-pany's Rio de Janeiro advices yesterday re-porting that the naval and military officers stationed in Para, had taken steps looking to a declaration of the independence of that state. The most important news received here today relates to affairs in Rio Grande do Sul. This is given in a dispatch to the Times from Santiago de Chile. According to this the differences which have been interfering with perfect unity of action by the provisional junta now in authority in that state is disappearing and the mem-bers of the junta are now acting in harmony. They have made one of their number, Drassiz Brazil, minister of war. Active measures are being taken to im-prove the defenses and increase the effective strength of the army. The mouth of the Rio Grande, the principal river of the state, 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 the maXiug of the munitions of war. The provincial banks and pri-vate persons are offering to furnish the junta with ample funds to carry forward plans that may be decided upon for maintaining the independence of tlie state. The Alters sent by the dictator take the places of those, who cast their for-tunes with the insurgents in Rio Grande do Sul have arrived at Montevideo, and propose to proceed at once to their destination. They assert that several men-of-w- are now-- on the way to Kio Grande, and others are being made ready to follow. The refugees from Rio de Janeiro who reacned Montevideo express the opin-ion that Fonseca will not be able long to maintain himself. His cause is lost they say and only the fear of mob violence, in their opinion, now re-strains the discontented opposition at the Brazilian capitol from active steps against Fonseca. Loxdon, Nov. IS. A Rio de Janiero tele-gram from government sources still asserts that tee Rio Grande agitation is confined to Port Allegre. A revolt is expected in Para. The army and navy hesitate which cause to espouse, but it is expected they will join the insurgents. A dispatch to the Times corroborates the statement that all telegrams from Rio Grande are prohibited aud that the postal service has also ceased. New York, Ncv. IS. The Anglo-America- n company announces that code tele-grams to Rio Grande, Brazil, have been stopped. Rio de Janiero, Nov. IS.

EmJ&ied by theT.T2i?45 a brick and five stories in height and Lrntage on Third street of 300 feet, and 'sdway of 200 feet. Griggs, Copper fc . occupied two-third- s of the building. The flames first made their appearance at 11:44. o'clock, in the fourth floor of Grifirs, Cooper & Co.'s buildings. Within less than five minutes the fire department was on hand in force but a general alarm had to be turned in soon afterwards because of the rapidity with which the flames spread. Blinding volumes of smoke filled the streets surround-ing, the cold weather and the inability of the firemen to get at the lire, rendered their work very bard. In half an hour from the time the alarm wast sent in, the flames leaped through the roof and communicated to the adjoining buildings where they made rapid progress. The firemen turned their attention to saving the floors below and by hard work for a time succeeded in confining the most of the dam-age to this floor. It is thought the loss in this department aionc will reach fully $300,000. The flames crept downward in the hard-ware building through the elevator shaft and one by one the other floors suc-cumbed. The fire in Greggs, Cooper & Co.'s building at this time turned downward to the ground floor. The fire departmtn fought valiantly against terrible odds, but at 3:30 the wails fell. The flames set fire to a frame building used by the Northern Pa-cific News company. Soon the walls of the Farwell, Ozemun & Kirk building fell outward. Several at-tempts were made to save the stock in the more exposed portions of the buildings but without avail, and complete destruction of both 6tock and building is inevitable. The building belonged to Ed C. Shepard. It was estimated to be worth $200,000. The losses are estimated as follows: Far-wel- l, Ozemun fc Kirk, $400,000, with insurance $3(50,000; Griffgs. Cooper & Co., on building and stock, loss $55,000, fuUy in-sured. Total loss $050,000. The flames were under eontrol at half past 4 this morning, but fast consuming what re-mained of the stock. No definite informa-tion is obtainable as to the cause of the lire, but it is thought to have originated in some unknown manner in the packing room on the fourth floor. Both firms will continue business without interruption. Their books and accounts were saved. tnrering at Sea. Loxdov, Nov. IS.
