A Now Political Combination Formed at St, Louis.

RESULT OF THE B!G CONFERENCE.

PHI-

It Will C-operate with th« People'*

ty in Nominating Candidate for Presidency on the Fourth of July.

WKDNT.SDAY\S M-XION.

Pt. Lotts, Feb. 'jr. A l-1 iTilwot 1 new political combination is in exist'iice for the coining presidential campaign. So at least the delegates to the '•iff national industrial conference which ended here Wednesday nijjlit believe. So stormy a convention probably never before ended so quickly ami in seeming harmony that, too, after virtually slamminj,' the. doors in the face of a national party claiming a million voters and vainly seeking a union with the organization acting so summarily. All the efforts off Miss Frances Willard for a juncture with the prohibitionists were snuffed out by the convention at the last moment.

ICesult of the Convention.

The net result of the convention as ligured by the-people's-pariy men, who are chiclly from the northern tiers of states, is that they have by maguiliccr.t 'strategy effected a complete capture of the political strength of the Farmers' Alliance in the south. On the other band the southern alliance men. under the plea of having acted as individuals without in any way binding their organization, say that they have not altered.one iota the position they have consistently held. After the convention wan over and a so-called '•mass-meeting'' attended by the delegates, at which the most important action of the day was taken, was at end. "lien" Terrill, of Texas, said that the alliance men in the south have all along been in favor of independent action, but would not and have not committed this organization in any way.

For it National Convention. July was the dale finally agreed upon for holding a national convention. This was decided by a committee from the convention having full authority to act with the national committee of the people's party. The place for holding- the convention was left to be chosen by a sub-committee of ten to be appointed by Mr. Taubeneck, of Illinois. Omaha and Kansas City, Han., were favorably* mentioned. Hy delaying the convention until July 4 the parties interested will be given an opportunity to see what the conventions of the republican and democratic parties are disposed to do.

Ituryiug Sectional Strife.

Monday morning a "blue and gray" mass-meeting, into which the convention resolved itself before grappling with the platform temporarily, was a pretty feature of the coufercnce. Commodore Vandevoort, of Nebraska, for the union veterans present in the convention, pledged President l\»lk, for the old confederate soldiers in attendance, that they would join hands to bury sectional hale, and the treaty, if such it might be termed, was ratified 111 speeches by ex-Senator Van Wvek, of Nebraska, and Ben Terrill, of Tex ax

A resolution offered by Branch, of Georgia, to hold the democratic and republican parties responsible for the present condition of the poor people, was laid on the table.

The platform committee's report was read by Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota. It starts out with a lengthy address to the people.

Th« Addre.**.

It declares that 'Mho nation hits been brought to the verge of moral, iolitk-al and material ruin. Corruption dominate* the ballot box, th legislatures, the congress, and touches even the ermine of the bench. The people uro demoralized. Many of the states have been compelled to isolate the voters at the polling places, in order to prevent universal intimidation or bribery. The. newspapers are subsidized or mu/.zled publhiopinion silenced business prostrated our homes covered with inortiragey: labor impoverished, and the land concentrating in the hunds of capitalists. The urban workmen are denied the right of organization for self-protection: imported panjHTized labor beats down their wages: a hireling standing army, unrecognized by our laws, is established to shoot theui down am 1 they are rapidly degenerating to European conditions. ••in this crisis of human affairs, the intelligent working people and producers of the United Suites have come together in the name of peace, order and society, to defend liberty, prosperity and justice. ••We declare our union and inde|w?ndet.»*e. We assert our purpose to vole with that political organization which represents our principles. "We assert that a political organization, representing the principles herein slated, is necessary to redress the grievances of which we complain. "We charge that the controlling influences dominating the old political parties have allowed the existing dreadful conditions to develop without serious effort to restrain or prevent them. Neither do they now intend to accomplish reform. They have agreed together to ignore, in the coming campaign, every issue but one. They propose to drown the outcries of a plundered people with the uproar of a sham-battle over the tariff: so that corporations, national banks, rings, trusts, 'watered stocks,' the demonetization of silver and the oppressions of usurers, may ail be lost sight of. They propose to sacrltlce our homes und children upon the altar of mammon: to destroy the hopes of the multitude in order to secure corruption funds trom the great lords of plunder. ,i -In order to restrain the extortions of aggregated capital, to drive the money chargers out of the lemple, to form a perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, pruvme for "he common defense, promote the general welf *»e and secuie the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity, we do ordain and c*tuhlirii the following platform of principles:

The Platform.

"1. We declare that the union of labor forces of the 17tilled States, this day accomplished. ]erma!H nt and perpetual. May its spirit enter

into

all hearts for the salvation of the republic.: and the upliftinc of mankind. "2. WeaUh belongs to him who* create* it. Kvery dollar taken from industry without an equivalent is robbery. If anv will not work, neither shall he cat. The interests of rural and urban labor are the same their enemies are identical. "Jl. We demand a national currency, safe, pound ei .'i fit xible. issued by the general goveminent oulw a full legal tender for nil debts, public ai.-t private, and that without the use of buuUinr corporations, a just, equitable means of cir(M»ta,i.-n, at a tax not to exeeeii t* per cent, as Met forth in the sub-treasury plan of the Farm crs' Alliance, or some better system, also b.\ pajments in discharge of its obhgaiion for publie (mprovemcuus.

"4. We demand free and unlimited coinage of silver. "5. We demand that the amount of circulating medium be speedily increased to not less than $TiO per capita. *•»». We demand a greater income tax.

W iK'lieve that the money of tie* country should he lc«-pt as much as |hssihlo in the hands of the ieople. and hence, we demand that all i.ational atu: state revenue® ^hall IM» limited to the necessary expenses of the government economically and honestly administered "8. We |emand that |Ksta1 savings banks be established by the government for the safe deposit of the earnings of the people, uud to facilitate exchange. "9. Your subcommittee upon land plank beg to submit to your approval the following: The land, including all the natural resources of wealth, is the heritage of all the |x*ople, and should not be mono|tolized for speculative purjosos, and alien ownership of lands should lw prohibited. All lands now he'd by railroads and other corporations in excess of their actual needs, and all lands now owned by aliens should

IM»

reclaimed by the government,

ami held for actual settlers only. "10. Tran-jortation being a means of exchange and a public necessity, the government should own ami operate the railroads in the interest of the people. "11. The telegraph and telephone, like the 1OM onice system, beiug a necessity for the transmission of news, should be owmsl And operated by the government in tin* interest of the people. •TJ. We demand that the government issue legal tender notes and pay th'* union soldiers the difference tH'tween the price of the depreciated money in which he was paid und gold. "ltesolvcd. That we hail this conference as the consummation of the perfect union of the hearis and hands ot all sections of our common country: the men who wore tin* gray and the men who wore the blue meet here to extinguish the last smouldering embers of civil war iu the tears ot joy of a united and happy people, and we agree to carry the Stars und Stripes forward forever to the highest point of national greatness."

On motion of Mr. I'owderly, the delegates. without taking a vote on the adoption of the platform, adjourned for wo hours.

Woman MiN'rago and Prohibition. A ii«rht for the recognition of the prohibition issue in the platform was started immediately upon the reassembling of the convention. Miss Frances Willard presented a minority report which she moved be adopted immediately as an amendment to the majority report The minority report favored woman suffrage and demanded the suppression of the liquor traflic. Attempts to head Miss Willard off were ineffectual.

In the prohibition controversy Miss Willard was opposed and the compromise plank inserted. It was urged by opponents that the lady was not a delegate, but when it came to a vote the opposition was overwhelmingly dedefeated, Mr. Powderly, of the Knights of Labor, offered 82 votes in favor of universal suffrage, but without avail. The count was disputed and protests were made against the I'ow-derly-llayes domination in the platform. After a recess of thirty minutes. during which Weaver, Iowa, announced himself opposed, the inn* jority report was adopted amidst the wildest enthusiasm. 1 he woman's suffrage amendment was finally carried a* a resolution.

Other ImlortfemenlH.

The convention indorsed laws forbidding option dealing, indorsee! the stand of the Rochester (N. V. Knights of Labor against a clothing comlii'ne and threatened boycott if necessary and indorsed all goods bearing the Knights of Labor label. The woman suffrage resolution again rami! up and Acting Chairman Terrill announced that it had nothing to do with prohibition. Washburn, of Massachusetts. insisted that the resolution was a substitute for both of Miss W'illard's minority planks, prohibition and woman suffrage, the idea being that wherever throughout the nation woman suffrage was secured prohibition would soon follow. The previous question was called and Miss Curtis' resolution to submit the question of universal suffrage to the legislatures of the different states and territories for favorable action, now thoroughly separated from the platform, was adopted without further opposition.

To Aet with the People'# Party. Numerous efforts to have the convention proceed to appoint the committee suggested by Donnelly to aet with the people's party national committee were wholly ineffectual under the rulings of Acting Chairman Terrill and the insistence of National Lecturer Willets, of the Farmers'Alliance, upon amotion to adjourn sine die. Mcf'une, of the Farmers' Alliance, announced, however, that all the delegates would hold a mass meeting in their individual capacity immediately after adjourn ment.

To Cull Convention.

Without stirring from their seats the delegates, after Terrill's gavel fell, os tensibly adjourning the convention, went right on with (Jen. Weaver in the chair, and appointed committee to act with the national committee of the people's party to call a national convention to nominate a president and vice president of the. 1'nited States, as follows: rn. Van \Vyel. ot Ni*bniskn: w. MeOimi\ of Texas M. 1. lJraiu'h, of (M'nr^iu: J. H. 1 'iiwcr.-.. of NVlu-nska:' T. Ma^utre, of Ni*w York: I.. 1. Polk, of North Carolina: ,1. If.

Tho President Spoaks a Grmr Word for tho Big Show.

HIS SPECIAL MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.

He t'rge* a Liberal AtUt title Toward* the ICipoMltion. Hinting hat (tii* Appropriation Would lie a '•V' !oot| thing.

WOUI1S OF AI'I'lioVAl.

Washington, i-Vi,. -j ,.—'i|u. president sent a special message to congress on the world's fair, iuvouipauied by the reports of tie* world's fair commission. lie stronirly commends the progress of the work, saying that from iNi.OOO.OOt) to S.Ui)iUm more seem necessary, but declines to make specific recommendation because of want of data, lie declares, however, that liberality on the part of the 1'nited States is due to the foreign governments who had so generously responded. On this point the message says:

Immensity ot thb Plan and Seope. "The plan and seope adopted and the site and buildings selected and now being ereeted, are fully commensurate with the national and international eharaeter of the enterprise contemplated by the legislature of congress. "The Illinois eorioration has fully complied with the condition of the law that *h.Mh"0,U«l should be provided, and the government commission reports that the 'grounds and buildings will 1m.' the most extensive, adequate and oruate ever devoted to such purines.' .More .Money Needed. •It seems, however, that "from £.»kfcMhn) to more will, iu the opinion of the local board and the national rotftmisslon, be nece,s. sary to prepare the exiosUiou for a complete and successful inauguration, ll will be noticed from the reixu'is thai it was fh«t promised by the local commission to ask congress for a loan of $o.UA),« ooo, to !»e repaid from the receipts, and that the national commission approved this suggestion, SubM'«jui*ntly the Illinois exposition corporation unconsidered its action and determined to ask a subscription of $5,tJ»UKJ0. The supplementary rcpon. of the national commission seems to approve this amended proposition. I have not myself that detailed information as to the financial necessities of the enterpriser which would enable me to form an independent judgment of the additional amount necessary, and am not. then-fore, prepared to make any «i»ecitic recommendation to congress ujon the subject The committees of cougress having this matter in charge will undoubtedly obtain full and accurate information before iinal aeU»n.

I.iberiillty Urged.

"The exposition, notwithstanding- the limitations which the act contains, is anenterpri.se to which the 1'nlted States is so far committed that congre ought not, I think, to withhold just and reasonable further stip]tori if the local cor|K»ration consents to proper conditions. Liberality on the part of the l.'niU.Ml States is due to the foreign nations that have responded in a friendly way to the invitation of this government to participate in the ex|Hsitioii,and will. 1 am..sure, meet the approval of our people. The e\jMsition will be one of tin-most iUtiMrioUh incidents., in our civic history."

President Palmer'* llrpottv The report of the Columbian commission by 1'resident Valmer and dated Chicago. November l.\ 1MU. ha* been made to 1'resident Harrison. The report speaks of the satisfactory advancement in every department of the work and of assured success. The exposition site is described, the vatious buildings enumerated ami the work of the administrative departments commended.

The commission recommends that provision be made for the necessary eurrcut expenses, in order that it may be able to properly discharge thedutie.s and functions imposed upon it by congress. It also asks an appropriation tc pay awards. 1'resident. Palmer says, in closing, that the appeal to congress for aid is cntitl ed to special consideration. .Much (iotxl Will l!e«nll.

So far as the returning Chicago visitors are concerned it has been clearly established that only good can result from the congressional inspection of the world's fair grounds. The men who went were so enthusiastic in praise of Chicago's enterprise and Chicago's hospitality that the meu windid not go expressed much regret at having missed the trip.

Skeptics Put to Kont.

The menvbers who had inspected the grounds were the centers of little groups on the floor of the house and the senate and were telling of the extent of the buildings and of the remarkable push in carrying on the work. In fact, it was very clear thai tho visiting delegation was a powerful army of workers in aid of the exposition. They were so earnest in their convictions and wen* fortified with sp many facts from personal observation that they soon routed the few skeptical and ultra-economical mem hers. The Washington papers print many interviews with senators and representatives comorning the work at Chicago, all of which aro in the most cordial terms.

THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW.

Tlia House Decides to InveAligute Jt» Operations and Ktlect*.

ASHINGTON, Feb. •J.V—The first formal action of the lrou.se Wednesday was the adoption of a resolution of Mr. Tarsney, from the labor committee, authorizing an investigation of the operations and cM'ect of the eight-hour law in the government service. The committee is required to report whether the continuance and strict enforcement of the eight-hour law is desirable, by what methods and to what extent the law is evaded, whether amendments are required to secure its practical enforcement and whcthci convict labor is being used by the United States or contractors on public works, or the product of convict labia is being furnished to any department i' of the government

The house went into committee of the whole on the Indian appropriation bill. After disposing of forty-six of the sixty pages of the bill the commit* tee rose.

The senate amendments to the census deficiency bill were non-concurred in. and a conference committee, composed of Messrs. Saycrs, llolman and Dingley, was ordered. The house, then ad« jotirncd.

a a

ing town of Cleckheaton, in W eM Hiding, Yorkshire, was on Wednesday the scene of a frightful accident, resulting in thc'loss of a numherof lives. A massive chimney, tin yards high, at the .Marsh mill machinery ami Jhinnel factory collapsed, and fell on the roof of the factory just* as a number of young women operatives were leaving work". The piteous cries of those who were caught in the rtrns could be heard and the horror ot the scene wa& soon augmented by the breaking out of tire, iu which numbers of imprisoned victims were burned.

Twelve llodie^ llecovered.

At J! o'clock this (Thursdayi morning a crowd was w'atehitig the operations of the rescuers, who were carrying on their work by the light of bonfires. Twelve bodies h.i/e been extricated from the ruins. Two bodies are supposed to he still buried at the base of tlit* fallen chimney. Two of the injured persons have succumbed to their injuries and another is in a dying condition. "Steeple Jacks'* who have been employed for a week past in repairing the chimncv which fell found it collapsing and made tSieir escape. The factory manager slates that an expert examined the foundations of the e.himneyato p. m. and declared them to be in a safe condition.

It is reported that the cause of the disaster was the removal of a number of defective bricks for the purpose of making repairs which caused the structure to thus become unduly weakenedv The people demand a vigorous otlieial inquiry be at once instituted in the matter and that the blame for the catastrophe be placed in the proper quarter ami the persons found to be responsible for the accident be held to the strictest accountability.
