INGAlLS AND THE ALLIANCE. A Mov.m.nt that la Hulldinf Greater than Most Will Admit. Baltimore, March 10. Ingalls of Kansas, talking of the farm-ers' alliance yesterday, said: "This movement is building greater than a majority of tho people of the eastern slope are williug to admit. It presents out) of the most interesting political problems of the country. Here in the east where the industries and employ-ments aro diversified, its progress is not appreciated, and the strength it is gaining is not understood. In the -- west a purely agricultural section it has taken a deep hold on the public mind, and the evolu-tion of movement is closely watched by our deepe-i- t thinkers and political econ-omists. These fanners have concludud that there are wrongs existing that need adjustment. Tho growth of the organ-isation is not ethreal or spontaneous, but has come with a strong undercur-rent of reason that will defy all the ef-forts of political agitations to shake. "I think it mav bo compared to Un-feeling of republicanism which swept over the country from TH to 'iW. This result might bo more quickly reached could tho west and south liud common ground on which to stand. Tin-eas- t and north have recognized this all along and have very adroitly prevented any coalitions. The suctions are, however, becoming apathetic alike to appeals and menaces, and when one dies out and, the other is allayed, we may look for a coalition that will produce tangible results. The existing political parties, however, may, by their plat-lorm- s and candidates nominated, make such concessions to tho allianco s to .cause the member to return to their respective folds with the belief that the evils that they seek i redress will be reformed in their households." iweii oniijmi Ha Says that Three Silver States Should Not Try to Dictate the Financial Policy of the Country. FREE SILVER WILL COME IN TIME But it is Not Sound Policy to Jump too Quickly The Country Will-ing to Act Fairly. New York. March 10. United States Senator Power of Montana, in an inter-view says he thinks tho silver advo-cates in tho last congress had made a mistake in trying to adopt a measure providing for the absolute free coinage of silver. Tho senator is rated oilo of the most ardent silver men, because (mown state was full of bullion ow n ers. He said, how ever, that ho did not think it w as sound policy to jump too quickly to the free coinage of the white metal. "It will not do for three silver pro-ducing states to attempt to dictate tho financial p olicy of the whole country," ho said, "Colorado, Montana and Idaho, of course want to dispose of their silver at the best possible, prices. I think tho rest of the country is willing to act fairly with these states if they do not ask too much. 1 do not be-lieve it best to adopt free coinrge, whilo bullion is worth only $1 per ounce. When legislation is enacted that will advance the price of builioti. which I hope will soon come, a free coinage law will follow naturally. " Senator Power is at the Fifth Avenue hotel nursing a wrist sprained about two weeks ago, as he was alighting from a carriage. FINANCUU)ISiSTEl A Louisville Bank Tails Forcing to the Wall a Great Tobacoo Firm of tha Same City, A Bid WAGON FACTORY "BUST." The Failure Caused by Selling on Long Credit One of the Buined Bankers has Mysteriously DiBarpmred. Louisville, March 19. Theodore Schwartz & Co., private bankers, failed today for half a million dollars. Their assignment carries to the wall tho Union Tobacco company works. Schwartz was resident Herman con-sul and operated a savings bank in con-nection with his other business. Fred Jannscn, a member of the firm, has mysteriously disappeared and fears are entertained that he has committed suicide. No dishouesty is traceable to him. Just who the largest creditors are cannot be determined at this time. In the absence of positive inlormation from the tirm or from tho assignee or attorney, any information would be guess-work- . But it is understood at least that some other Louisville finan-cial institutions are caught pretty heavily and that possibly oilier failures may result. It rs generally supposed that tho tinancial crash is due to the late financial stringency. Black Kivkk Falls, Ark., March 10. Tho wagon factory and blacksmith shops and other manufactories of 1. J. Spaulding, a leading lumbermau of this section have been closed. Nearly all the creditors are secured by mortgages. His liabilities are assets, about $70,001) cash. Tho failure was caused by soiling on long credit. Two Slugging Match.,. Dknvkk. March 10. The Allen-Far-rel- l light for $.100 took place yesterday about twenty miles out of the city.

Allison and Cannon, chairmen respec-tively of the senate and house commit-tees on appropriations, have prepared statements making a comparison of tho appropriations 61 the Filly-firs- t with Fiftieth congresses. The statement of Cannon shows that during the Fiftieth congress, covering the salaries of lH.sy. 1)0. the total appropriations, including deficienees, were Sl7,Oij:!,or0. The appropriations of the Fifty-firs- t congress, embracing the fiscal years of 1801 nnd 18112 amount to $08H,410,r,'0. The net apparent increase is $170,44(1,2(10. Cannon says there should be added to the appropriations of the Fiftieth and deducted from the Fifty-lirs- t congress $'i.vi21,007 to meet a known deficiency for pensions in tho appropriations of the former emigres. Cannon argues against increasing the number of committees having charge of appropriation bills, and says the sys-tem of distributing them among various comiuitloes is vicious and teuds to ex-travagance. He thinks one committee of the house should be charged with tho preparation of the uiou bills for its consideration. Senator Allis-in- , in his statement, gives in detail the reasons w hich oper-ated in the several appropriation acts to im lo.iso the expenditure authorized by the present congress over its prede-cessors, lie says tho increase of under the agricultural appropri-ation act was caused by the establish-ment of agricultural experiment sta-tions, aud the transfer of tho weather bureau from the war department. Un-der tho fortification bill there was an increaso of for continuing the construction of battt ries for tho de-fense of various harbors. In the Indian bill the increase of 87,H07,-Oli- o was made to carry i'lto ellect recent treaties negotiated with tho various Indian tribes. An increase of l,4."iti,0li0 was made for clerical force in the various departments, mainly in tho pension olliee. The navy appropria-tions show an incrcaee of $1 l.U0,),0U0 for new ships, improvements, navy yards, plans, etc. The pensions show an in-creaso of $1111, 312.000. including de-ficiencies. The increase of $22,ti(i3,O0O under tho postollice bill was duo to tho growth of the service throughout the country. The increase for sundry civil expenses of $i5,000,000 was for river and harbor. improvements, census ex-penses, public buildings, service, etc. The deficiency appropria-tions, exclusive of pensions, were $720, less than the Fiftieth congress, although $1,;04,000 for French spoliation claims are included.

The defendant who is made a in the case of Staflood and Archer by this complaint, was represented by Henry Adams Esq. of Nephi, and Judgo Powers. Mr. Murphy asked that a continuance ' be allowed him until tomorrow. Mr. Adams We don't feel to disposed yield to tho application as this pris-oner was brought here and thrown in jail without opportunity to give bond, and we insist that the examination be , proceeded with. Judge Powers I am here as as-- , sociato with Mr. Adams and have lomo knowledge of this case, certain person:; have by insinuation taken it upon themselves to impugn tho motives of the marshal and in justice to all parties it is duo that this investigation be proceeded with at once; if it bo that a prosecuting otlicer has made use of such intimations w want to investigate it no-- . Mr. Murphy I wish to say that so ' far as those intimations are concerned I have heard nothing until I came into this court room and gave them no credit. The truth is that the defend-ant and the main witness in the issue aro subpo-ne- to appear before the dis-trict court in a case that is now about to be taken up. OThis appearing as couse sufficient the examination was allowed to continue until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. On datiug this, however, the chronicler had undertaken to interview the prisoner with reference to certain ugly rumors that reflected on his integrity and his escutcheon while engaged in detective work, and receiving his compensation from the city. "Were you not on inhabitant of Zion for several years?" pipud the reporter. "Yes," was the blunt, monosyllabic) renlv. "Were you not in the employ Rnd re-ceiving compensation from tho city for detective work?" "Yon needn't answer that," inter-posed Mr. Adams. "But there are ugly rumors in circu-lation." Ai "Yes; and I'm his attorney." f'Mt The prisoner I could profotiir an that question two or" three hours from now I'll have to tell everything. on the stand. The defendant probably anticipates what is coming, and that there are certain things of a question-able nature that occurred several years ago, an explanation of which will be asked. The case is developing a great deal of interest and a large crowd al-most fills the auditorium of Judge Zsne's court room where tho Stafford aud Archer cases are on trial. HARD ON SARAH ALTHEA. Jt Is nn onr-n- In Pr.nno, Cal to Kirk a Woman. FuESNn, Cal., March 10. Justice Crichton decided the case of tho People against N. C. Caldwell, charged with battery, in favor of the defendant, pro-- , nouncing him not guilty and ordering his discharge. The complaining wit-ness was Mrs. S. A. Terry, who alleged she had gone to Mr. Caldwell's otiice on business and that he had struck her in the face and kicked her out of his oflice. Caldwell denies this, saying that he merely put his foot on her hack and shoved her out of his oflice. He stated that she had no business with him and that ho had warned her to keep away from his olliee. The juslico in bis decision reflected severely on Mrs. Terry, declared that her testimony could not be believed, and that the lawyer's evidence must be accepted that lie had used no more than necessary force. PICKLES AND PRESERVES. A Manufacturing i Which Oti;ht to 1 fopular wuli tha I'.ople. A short time ago a proposition was submitted to the chamber of commerce by (i. L. Anderson, w ho has familiar-ized himself with the business by years of experience to organize a company here to engage in the manufacture of pickles, preserves, catsups, couJiments, mince meat, etc. This proposition was referred by the chamber ot commerce to a committee composed of (J. i Culmcr, C. li. Want-lan- d and W. If. Shearman who after giving it tho most, careful scrutiny ami investigation, reported baelt to tho chamber that it was a feasablo one and promised the best of results for the city. This report was handed in by the com-mittee today, with the recommendation that a popular stock company be or-ganized to engage in the business which will bo quite an advertisement in many ways, will give employment to three hundred or four hundred" people,,, and will furnish a market for a large' amount of fruits aud vegetables, and will also provide an opportunity for those who havo been howling for enter-prises to engage in the business of man-ufacturing with a small outlay of cap-ital. The plan as it ht3 been formulated, is to organize a company with a capital of $.10,000, divided into 2000 shares of a par value of $25 each. Tho first series of $10,000 is to bo subscribed to and paid in as follows: Ten per cent on tho organization of the company, 10 per cent on June 1, and 10 per cent on the first of each succeeding month until the $10,000 dollars shall have been paid. This lirst series of stock is believed at this time' to bo ample for the require-ments of the company to successfully carry on the business. It has been estimated Viy those who have facilities for gathering the infor-mation that fully $1,10,000 is sent out of this city- every year for the class of goods which this con-cern will manufacture, aud while it is not believed that the whole amount could be kept at home, a great portion of of be aud as this is the first inauguration of an enterprise of' this character here, it ought to be nude a success if the people will only lend their aid to it. ' ' Those who have the matter in charge do not intend . that it shall be monopolized by a select clique, but that it shall be a popular peoples movement to which the humblest can lend his encouracement, and embark his capital in a business that gives every hope of yielding a profit of a hundred or a hundred and fifty per cent per annum on the invest-ment. Another meeting is called by the chamber of commerce at 4 o'clock this afternoon to perfect the final details of the organization. THE PORK EMBARGO. (i.rniany Muiit IEhiiiuva It or tha lrtltant Mill K.tallntr, New YoiiK, March 10, A Washing-ton special says Fresideut Harrison has determined upon summary measures to relieve American pork, which is tho subject of so much German opposition. Minister Phelps has been notilied by the state department at tho request of President Harrison to demand of the German authorities that tho em-bargo Ijo at once removed else the pres. ident will proceed to exercise the au-thority given him by the last congress and by proclamation close our ports against German imports. The announcement is nothing less than a threat and tho result will be in-teresting. The stale department officials refused to discuss the matter this morn-ing. There is no doubt that communi-cations have been sent to Minister Phelps, for the president so informed a senator who called upon him this morning. FAMOUS APPLE TREES. On That ltlooma a limp anil Anoth.r Not at AU. Pahkki:siu k(J, W. Va., March 10. On the larm of Mr. Sumner Oaks at Newbury, below this city and on the opposite side of tho river, is a remark-aid- e apple tree, in the fall the tree hangs lull of dead-ripo- , half-grow- and very small apples, blossoms aud buds all at the same time. The tree has borne this curious crop for many years, in fact since the memory of its owner. It is prob-ably one of the oldest, if not the oldest, apple tree in Ohio, as it was planted with several others, long since dead, by an old trappor and hunter, who squat-ted on the land in times which tried men's souls aud tested the tenacity of their scalps- - Tho old fellow crossed the Alleghenies with several others and settled along the river when the Indi-ans iwere still roaming the country. Ho was killed somewhere near the spot w here the tree now stands. Another most' remarkable tree is an apple tree growing on the farm of Cap-tain Williamson, near Friendly. The tree, which is a prolilic bearer, never blossoms. In the spring instead of blossoms the fruit bearing twigs pro-duce littlo bulb-lik- e protuberances, which are perfee,'. bi't uf 'V'' appu. and the fruit swells and grow until it is dead ripe.
