Northwestern States.

A CHANCE FOR CHARITY.

Ri-:tt ltun, 111., Nov. 10.—The city is thronged with sight seers who came from the adjacent cities and towns to view M10 sceno of desolation which is the result of the cyclone. The funeral of Willie Kopp took place Friday afternoon. His mother, who was bolieved to be fatally injured, now stands a chance of recovery. Mrs. Kardell is now the most in danger. All the others are feeling better and the victims of fright liavo recovered their self-command. Night watchmen patrolled the ravaged district to prevent auy danger from lire. None of the people had tornado insurance, as it was believed Red Bud was out of the track of cyclones. Houses which were not blown down are so badly shattered that they are not safe. Eightyfour houses will have to be totally rebuilt. Meanwhile that number of families are quartered cither in the hotels or with neighbor.^ who had little enough room for themselves. At a meeting of citizens it was decided to seek assistance from other cities. Food and clothing are needed, but shelter is more immediately necessary. The insurance agents and two contractors investigated the losses hero and found eighty-four houses totally wrecked, with twenty more unsafe. They estimated the loss on houses at SS7.000. This does not iucludc household goods, fences and chimneys and is at adjusters' figures, so that it is safe to estimate all damage at not less than 5200,000.

Dextruetlun at Kugllsli, 1ml. ENGLISH, Ind., Nov. 19.—A tornado has continued in this section almost uninterruptedly during the last two days and at o'clock a. m. increased to a regular hurricane. The location of English, in a low valley, saved it from serious damage, but almost every window and chimney top in town is wrecked. The fronts of the business houses of Joseph Finch, Luther Griss and William Temple were blown in. Though the brakes were set to the utmost on cars on the railroad track every car was driven to the west end, wlicro the foremost of them broke through the bumpers. John

Jones and Cassie Forbes, while passIng over the Blue river bridg were blown off the bridge a distance of 15 feet, but before they struck the bottom of the river they were driven eastward a great distance aud man aged to save themselves. The principal loss will be timber in the surrounding country. On one farm 200 large forest trees were uprooted. Hundreds of acres of uuharvested corn is blown from the stalks. The meager reports from surrounding country in dicate that great damage was wrought

Worst Storm in Many Years. Dueuquk, la., Nov. 10.—Dubuque's first winter storm proved to be the se verest and most disastrsus experienced for many years. Snow began falling early Thursday morning, accompanied by high wind. Before night a blizzard set in, and in a short time telegraphic communication was entirely cut off. In the city telephone, lire-alarm and every kind of elcctrie service was rendered useless. Trains were run on all roads oentering here without dispatchers' instructions, relying entirely 011 card rights. It is impossible to estimate the damage, but In the city alone it will run away up in the thousands, while it will probably be much more along the railroads In this immediate vicinity.

Storms In tlio West.

CHICAGO. Nov. 10.—Heavy storms in tlie west and northwest have cut off all communication by wire with Chicago. Up to a late hour Friday night the exact extent and damage of the storm were wholly unknown. Not only were the wires of the telegraph companies thrown down, but during nearly all day the railroad lines running trains to St. Paul and other northwestern points found it impossible to foi%ard their regular train dispatches.

The slight particulars obtainable show that the snow fell to the depth of afoot over a large part of Wisconsin, Minnesota, northern Iowa and part of Illinois.

Souvenir Sold for 810,000.

CHICAGO, NOV. 19.—The world's fair official! have accepted the Remington Typewriter Company's offer of 810,000 for the first souvenir half dollar to come from tho mint. The Remington people have deposited their check for the amount and hold a contract for the first coin. Tho price paid is the highest ever given for a coin, and it will havs the effect of raising the value of the entire issue. The exposition company expects to receive a high prico also for tho last coin minted.

Acquitted «r Murder.

FAIRBUKY, 111., Nov. 19.—The jury in the Mote murder case, 011 trial In the circuit court of this county, returned a verdict declaring Mote not guilty. Moje in self-defense threw Miller, a tenant farmer, off straw stuck last August, breaking his neck.

THE ALLIANCE.

Populists Gain Control of the Farmers' Organization, Electing Loucks President—A Bolt.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Nov. 10.—After spending nil of Thursday night in a bitter fight between tlie democratic and

populist factious the National Kami ers' Alliance

repudiated tlio former

Friday morning. McCune, leader of the democratic wing, who was the only candidate for the presidency against Loucks, withdrew from the contest and the alliance simultaneously. Ho bitterly denounced the Loucks following and claimed that there was nothing left for the non-partisan element to do but leave or consent to be the tail of the third party kite. The following oflieers were elected: II. 1). Loucks, North Dakota, president Marion liutler, North Carolina, vice president: lten Terrell, Texas, national lecturer Editor Taylor of the

Nashville Toiler, secretary, and the following exective board: L. Leonard, Missouri Mann Page, Virginia I. E. Dean, New York: H. C. Doming, Pennsylvania.

The friends of Dr. 11. McCune are much dissatisfied, claiming that they want to keep the alliance out of polities. To that end a protest was filed against the action of the populist against Dr. McCune, which was almost universally sigued by the southern members, who declare that if politics is made a part of the alliance creed they will draw out of the national organization.

EXPLOSION IN THE OIL' FIELD.

Well Hegintt to Wow When^ a Shot 1H lowered- Several Person* Hurt —One Kilted.

LIMA. 0 Nov. 10.—A frightful aeci dent has happened in the upper oil field. The Ohio Oil Company, of this city, had made arrangements for their well on the Legally farm, Wood county, to be shot, and the charge was lowered into tho well, when it commenced to flow. The nitro-glyccr-ine was forecd up and exploded near the top, scattering pieces of the tools and derrick in all directions. When the men saw tho flow eoming they started to run. J. C. Johnson, the foreman, was about 800 feet away wlion he was struck with a piece of the bit, which had been broken into several pieces. He was knocked dowu and crushed to death.

Adjoining was a farmhouse, one entire side of which was torn out. A man who was asleep inside was cut and seriously injured. A couple of women and a little girl who were also in the house were badly injured.

Mrs. Lease for tlie Senate.

TorEKA, Kan., Nov. 19.—The opinion exists here that stranger things might happen than the election of Mrs. Mary E. Lease as United States senator from Kansas. Mrs. Lease's candidacy for the senate has become a serious reality. She is fixing wires for the place and her popularity with the rank and file of the party will give her at least an equal chance with other aspirants, especially as there seems to be no constitutional disqualification.

CAR FOLEY ON THE WITNESS STAND.

Dftcctivp Hriicf Declares flint Sot One U11I of Ten Men Kmploypil by Agenriea Hut Could Ho Hired to Commit Murder.

INVKSTK A UNO rm: ni.Mi-:sirAi RIOT. CHICAGO, NOV. 10. —('apt. Patriek Foley, of the l'iukerton detective agency, was the first witness called before the senate committee invest! gating the Homestead affair at the (Jraml Pacitlo hotel Friday. Senator Uallingcr and Senator I'elYer were tlie only members of the committee present, (.'apt. Foley was asked whether the agency had a stock of arms. He replied that they had 400 rifles and 2,000 revolvers, but that the men had strict orders not to use arms except to defend themselves.

Senator l'effer asked Foley to cite instances in which Pinkerton men had been sworn in as deputy sheriffs. Foley replied that he had been deputized on many occasions. He cited the time of the. Lake Shore strike and tho troubles, at Rankin, I'a.: Pnnxstawney, Pa. Walston, Pa., and Adrian, I'a. He cited also the ease of the Rochester-Pittsburgh Company trouble, where he served three weeks under orders of the superintendent of the company.

Armed Men to Serve Frl«k. Foley then proceeded to speak of the H. C. Friek Coke Company trouble of several months ago. He was asked whether the men went to Pennsylvania under arms. He replied that they did not take arms, but that they" were armed at Pittsburgh withoWinehestcrs sent in advance from Chicago. He said that Mi-. Pinkertou's orders were that they should be armed with clubs only, and Mr. Foley confessed that he disobeyed orders in causing the men to take Winchesters, llut he did so to save life and to prevent disorder, lie said that miners and iron men were only in terror of force and that the law and oflieers of the law were matters of indifference to them.

Important Testimony.

John W. Halloway, a Pmkerton man, had been through all the Homestead trouble and gave important testimony. He gave a minute account of the fight on the barges, and declared that the first shots were fired by strikers, from sixty to 100 shots being fired by them before the I'ink«r ton men returned the tire. The Chicago men left at night, he said, and were not uniformed and armed until they boarded the barges, and. to his knowledge, were not sworn in. This was in direct contradiction to the testimony given before.

Scored tlie Tinker! on»i

Robert Bruce, No. 128 La Siille street, who has been a detective for thirty-two years, while declaring that he entertained 110 personal feeling against auy agency, proceeded to pour hot shot into the Pinkerton organization. He had procured many affidavits from men who were employed by the Pinltertons at the time of the Homestead trouble. These affidavits represented that those who made them had been given instructions on the barge, that they were imposed upon by the l'inkertons, thattliey were told Uiey were going to guard private property, and that they had to sign a contract declaring they would not take any action against their employers." Regarding the character of the men generally employed to go to Homestead, Mr. Bruce said they were "the scum of the earth." According to his beljef Pinkerton did not fulfill his declaration that he employed only men ot good character. The witness knew of the employment of exconvicts.

acter of the meu generally employed by the detective agencies?" "Yes, there is not one out of ten whom you could not hire to commit murder or any other crime." "You cannot trust in the reports they arc supposed to send to their office?"

I would not believe auy detective under oath without having his evidence corroborated." "Does that apply to yourself "Yes, I will apply it to rajs If

The witness also stated thai »u i.he men whose affidavits he took said emphatically they were never sworn in as deputies. From what he had heard Pinkerton could at any time arm from 400 to 500 men. "Do yon know of any case where detective" agencies have incited men to strike or aided in prolonging a strike?" asked Senator Peffer. "Not in recent years," answered Sir. Bruce. "Years ago where a company wanted to advance the price of coal the employers engineered a strike with the detcetive agencies." "Tlie object of that being— "To raise the price of coul." [Laughter.]

Urged to Abolish II.

T. U. Cogswell, W. II. Cutting, J. H. McCune, Jaines A. O'Connell, Ed Meagher and S. S. Raker, representing the Carpenters1 unions of Chicago, presented an address to the committee asking the members to use their best efforts to abolish the Pinkerton system as "obnoxious to the people of America.M

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov't Report

HARRISON'S LAST.

The Cabinet Discusses the Forthcoming Message.

SOME RECOMMENDATIONS OUTLINED.

It Will Point Out No Particular Regulation, Hut He May Ask for the Jtepeal oT the Sherman

Silver 1.HW.

UA8 NO REGRKTS.

WASHINGTON, NOV. 19.—The presidents message was the chief topic of discussion at the cabinet meeting Friday afternoon. In the document the president will naturally make few recommendations for legislation, but his resume of the condition of public business will be such as to show that the administration, in giving up power, has no regrets.

The Flnauves.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

The president will make it clear that the legislation which the people seem to want should come from the party that will soon be in complete power. In discussing the financial conditions ho will indirectly answer some of the partisan criticisms that are heard about tho condition of the treasury, and is likely to point out wherein the expenditures of the government have grown, aud to show what part of the burden of the Increase is due. in his estimation, to the democratic legislation. He may recommend the suspension of further payment on public works until the public finances justify it. At tho same time he will probably show how the expenditures are in excess of the revenues, because of the removal of the sugar tax, and leave it to the people to judge whether they want that tax removed.

Repeal or the Silver Law.

There has been some discussion over the advisability of th'e president recommending the repeal of Hie Sherman silver law, on the ground that it has served its purpose. Such a reeommendation would have a good effect on the international monetary conference which will be in session in Hrussells when congress meets. The silver states have shown by their votes that the Sherman law is not satisfactory to thein, and as the rest of the «ouutry never demanded it the president cannot but be in accord by recommending its repeal. It is not absolutely certain that lie will do so, yet there are indications that he leans to such a recommendation.

Federal Elections.

The president's views regarding the iiupeivision of federal elections havp not been changed. To shoiv where his convictions are. he will again recommend the creation of a non-partisan commission, and he is certain to deprecate the repeal of the laws now on the statute books.

Cholera.

The cholera epidemic will be discussed, and congress will be advised to legislate more specifically, possibly to the establishment of a national quarantine. While power was found for the executive department the desirability of having this power clearly defiued points to a national quarantine as the safest way of avoidingconflict with

local health officers and of making the

Are you acquainted with the char- quarantine effective for the whole country. Immigration.

Immigration naturally grows out of the cholera discussion, and on this point the advisability of congress defining the position of this country will be shown. President Harrison will not recommend the total prohibition of immigration for ten years as some have advised him to do, but he will emphasize the necessity of further restriction tlinn is now imposed.

PRAIRIE FIRE IN IOWA.

Staeks of Grain, Machinery, and Thim sand, of Tons of Hay Destroyed.
