Probability that a Display of War Ships Will lie Made la South American Waters. Washington. Oct. 23. There has been some agitation for a day or two past of a proposition to send tho new ships forming the squadron under command of acting Kear Admiral Walker to South America instead of Europe. Tho argument in favor of this scheme is that the visit of taa ships to Central and South American ports will materially aid in securing the results hoped for from the meeting of the International American Congress, by making a good impression upon the people of those countries, while no substantial benefits will be reaped from the trip to Europe. It is not probable that any change in the programme, so far as it has been annouueed, will be made, but there will be an addition that may satisfy the advocates of the South American vovage. The Chicago. Boston, Atlanta and Yorktown will Mil for Europe abont Nov. 10, aud after a trip through the Mediterranean sea. and visiting all the Kuropeon capitals which can be reached by water, will return to tho United States in the spring, and then make a trip to South and Central American waters. This has not been officially announced, but the etatementis made upon excellent authority. When the squadron shall visit our American neighbors on the south, it will be Increased by the presence of tho Baltimore, Petrel and Vesuvius, which will then be iu a condition to ail.

WAR IN A KENTUCKY COUNTY

Harlan Court-IIonse the Scene of a Bloody Battle Between Bival Factions. Wilson Howard, One of the Leaders, Exported to Have Been Fatally. Wounded Communication Cut Off Troops Requested. Lousyille. Oct, 23. Tho factional fight which has so long disgraced Harlan county has been renewed with increased fury. In the past few days Various rnmors have been afloat regarding the besieging of Jndge Lewis and party in the Harlan court house by Howard and his followers, but it was hoped that the trouble was at an end.. An event which occurred on Saturday afternoon, however, precipitated a renewal of the war. John Howard, a nineteen-year-old brother of Wils Howard, was m town, where tho father of Howard and his brothers live. Finlay Smith, son of Wash Smith, one of the wealthiest men in Harlan county, and who is spoken of as one of the best citizens, was also in town. John Howard was walking along the street and Finlay Smith was in the door of the Cumberland House when they saw each other. Howard pulled bis pistol and young Smith seized a Winchester rifle which was near him, and both began to shoot One of Smith's bullets grazed Howard's temple. and the shock knocked him down. While he lay there, stunned for the moment, Smith left, as did Howard a few minutes later. Tho familiar sound of the revolver and rifle' told the people that trouble had come again. This shooting occurred about 5 o'clock' Saturday afternoon. John Howard left town, and when tho news reached Wils Howard that his brother had come near be ing killed by a member of tho law-and-order party he vowed vengeance. News was brought into Harlan Court-house Sunday morning that Wils bad said he intended to wipe out all opposition to himself and his methods at one 6troke. This seemed to be verified : when word was received from several directions that Wils Howard's fol lowers were arming themselves. Later a reliable messenger of tho law-and-order arty brought intelligence that the outlaw ad sent word to all' his men to come well armed to a rendezvous a few miles from the county eat. Wils was implicitly oboyed by his followers, and soon a large crowd gathered at his summons. On Monday morning a battlo was foneht. Wilson Howard and one of his nrincipal henchman, named Jennings, were wounded, and it is said that Howard's injuries are probably fatal. The Turners have been in possession of the town for more than a week. Their leader is John Turner, just seventeen years of age. There are abont forty men in each crowd, all equipped with Winchesters and revolvers. lesterday morning Turner led his followers to an at tack on tbe Howard camp. The attacking party got in the u rat work, but wero hnally driven back to town. A report reached Pineville at 11 aclock this morning that the Howard forces in Harlan, enraged by the battle of yesterday, and the probable fatal wounding of their leader, left camp last night and started for Harlan Court-house, intending to kill everybody that belongs to the opposition and burn tho town. G. C. Huft, clerk of the Harlan county court at Pineville, is afraid to go home, though he has no connection whatever with tho trouble. Communication Cat OfL Louisville, Oct, 23. The latest report from Harlan Court-house states that Wilson Howard had cut oh? Lewis and his party from communication with the town. SheriH James Howard, of Harlan, who is here, nrges that the Governor send troops to quiet the county. He says, on account of the wide extent of the feud, he cannot hnd men not concerned to form a posse and execute the law. BROTHERHOOD OF ENGINEERS.

The wheat-growers of the Mississippi valley assembled in convention at Central Turner Hall in this city this afternoon to organize for future action. Walter N. Allen, president of the Farmers' Federation, called the convention to order, and made quite a long speech. He said it was the first meeting of the kind ever held on this continent. We'aro not here, he said,, for the purpose of denouncing trusts and combines, but to meet the issue of new systems and conditions in trade. Realizing our individual feebleness and the great importance of unity of action as a class, wo have been called together to consider the proposition to delegate to a power of our own creation the exclusive rignt to market the products of our farms, and to take such measures as will afford present relief and futuro protection to the agricultural interests of tho Mississippi valley. The farmer is the only producer who sends an oversnpply of his wares to market to bo sold by 6omo ono else. and. like the goods of

tho bankrupt, at some one else's prices, and. when he dares complain of the sacrifice, the answer of the master is. over-production. Over-prodnction cannot in justice be wealth for the nation and slavery for tho producer. If farmers would organize like manufacturers, to control production and regulate the outputs in tbe public market, they could, in common with all producers, set the prico on their own piuuucih irrespective oi over-proauciiou or the power of the Liverpool markets. The nuavoidable tendencv of the Dresent estab lished trade svstem is to brins the nrice down to tho lowest limit at which a food supply can be produced nuder the most favorable conditions of soil, season and climate. Iow. in order to avert imnendincr ruin, we must reverse this order by substituting a new system, fixing the price of farm products at the cost of production on lands that produce only thirty-fold. This will restore the natural law of exchange with equal and exact justice to all. In other words, the difference between tho present trade structure and the system proposed is, tho one tends to tho minimum price that a food supdIv can be obtained for without checking production, while the other seeks the maximum price that a food supply can be sold lor without diminishing consumption. The power to establish the value of one bushel of American wheat and one barrel of mess pork can control the markets of tho world. Ibis power is to be found in tho centralized agency of the federated farmers of tho Mississippi valley, a company legally chartered, with a capital stock of $20,000,000, and, as your servant,, this company awaits your bidding to enter upon its wur; oi redemption. Lx-uovemor Charles Kobm3on. of Kan sas, was made temporary chairman, and he aaaressea tne convention, strongly urging unity of action and organization of tho farmers throughout all the grain-growing amies. Hon. Norman J. Colraan. of Missouri. exSecretary of Agriculture, was made permanent chairman: Walter N. Allen, of Kan sas, Vite-president; Z. G. Wilson, of Minnesota, secretary, and J. P. Limeburner, of ivansas, assistant secretary. Mr. Kobert Lindblom. of Chicago, snoke briefly to the delegates, stating that he sympathized with them in their cause, which he thought was a good one. A committee on resolutions was appointed, to which all resolutions aro to be referred without debate, and tho convention then adjourned until to-morrow. SCOTTISH RITE MASONRY.
