of Tennessee. Willeta was elected by a Tote of 4S against C Mr. Terrell ia tho present incumbent. II. D. Tillman, of Tennessee, was elected to the vacancy on the committee on leg-' islation for a term of three years, and delegate Cole, of Michigan, was elected a member of the judiciary committee. Tho new committee on fraternal relations is composed of Talbott, of South Carolina; L. Loncks, of Sooth Dakota: Livingstone, of Ueorgia; Rogers, of Florida, and Terrell, of Texas. Early in the day the convention had ordered the sending of a telegram to Directorgeneral Davis, of the world's fair, at Chicago, asking co-operation with theNational Alliance iu securing fitting exhibits of American agricultural products at the exposition. Daring the afternoon a reply was received from Mr. Davis asking the appointment of an Alliance committee for this purpose. A resolution for this co-operation had been introduced by Hon. T. K Caz ;kadone, of Virginia, and he was, therefore, c.iosen chairman of the committee, with Messrs. Loucks, of North Dakota; Cole, of Michigan, Vance, of North Carolina, and Cram, of Illinois. A committee was also chosen to memorialize Congress for the suppression of lotteries, consisting of L. L. i'olk, of North Carolina; T. 8. Adams, of Louisiana, and I. O. Langley. of Arkansas. The national executive board remains unchanged Macune, Wardall, Tillman and Polk. There is much comment made on the proposition of Dr. Macnne to remove the office of the president of the Alliance from Washington. It is interpreted by most Alliance men to signify a disposition on the part of Dr. Macune to get rid of President Polk's influence in conducting the Economist and a desire to guide the policy of the national executive board. It is charged that his suggestion to cnt down the salaries of national officers has the ame bearing. Neither proposition, bowever, is likely to be adopted, for the Polk wing of the national Alliance has everything ita own way. It Is a large majority. T. V. Powderly and A. W. Wright, members of the national execntive board of the Knights of Labor, arrived here this afternoon. They come as fraternal delegates, seeking closer union with the Alliance on qaestions affecting industrial and labor interests At the forenoon meeting of the national colored Alliance the following amended resolution was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That we, the delegates attending the National Colored Farmers' Alliance, do hereby, in meeting assembled, at Ocala, Fla.. urge upon Congress to pass the Lodge election bill and let it apply to all sections, of the United States. - . The principal change from yesterday's resolution is the elimination of the paragraph criticising and denouncing the white national Alliance for its action. During yesterday and to-day telegrams' were received from many different States, including Texas, Kansas and Illinois, congratulating its action on the election bilL These were read to the assembled delegates, . and the afternoon session closed at 6 o'clock. THE THIRD-PARTY MOVEMENT. Following is the call for a third-party conference, signed by General Rice and John Davis, Kansas, and by about seventyfive other Alliance men: Whereas. In unity there la utrength, therefore it is desirable that there should be a union of all . the variously-named industrial organizations that stand on common grounds. To this end, the Individuals from various States, whose names are hereto signed, make this call for a national ' conference, to be composed of delegates from the following organizations, viz: The Farmers Alliance, the Farmers Mutual Beneflt Association, the Citizens Alliance, the Knights of Labor and all other industrial organizations that support the principles of the St. Louis agreement of 1 889; each State or organization to send one dele gate from each congressional district and two from the State at lance, and each district organization to send not less than three delegates, and each county delegation not less than one delegate, to be chosen according to the customs of each respective organization during the month of January, 1891; also, that the editor of each newspaper is hereby invited as a delegate that has advocated the principles of the St. Louis agreement and supported the Alliance candidates nominated in 1S90, the delegates to meet in the city of Cincinnati. O., n Monday, the 23d day of February. 1891, at 2 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of forming a national union party based upon the fundamental ideas of finance, transportation, labor and land, in furtherance of the work already begun by those organizations and preparatory for a united struggle for country and home in the great political conflict Impending that must decido who, in this country, la the sovereign, tho citizen or the dollar. Dr. Macnne to-day gave the Associated Press representative the following report of his utterances upon the third-party question: "I told the delegates that the people in the Southern States were not prepared to embark in the third-party movement; that they nad not elected delegates to this convention; that the people of some Western and Northwestern States had already embarked in the movement and considered that the prosperity of the order demanded some action of that kind to sustain them in their efforts. Iu this emergency tbere was a great necessity for conservatism and caution. We should not forget that we were representing the people at home and not onrown likes and dislikes. I recommended as a compromise that would carry out the end nought to be achieved by the West and North, if it met the approbation of the South, that a convention be called to meet in February. 1892; that the convention be composed of delegates of all associations of producers, and that the next annual session of the Supremo Council elect delegates to represent this order in the convention. I sustained this by saying that it did not commit the people, but provided a means whereby they conld express themselves ou this great question through their subordinate county and State organizations during the coming year. When the great convention meets the delegates will come there with authority and instructions from their people. If their people decide in favor of independent party action it will prevail. If not the cause will still be benefited by the conference, and there will be a better understanding of the objects which the labor organizations are seeking to achieve. This is the basis of all I recommended but it has taken a wonderful hold upon them, and it wiil satisfy both sides.

Colonel Livingston said, in reply to a Question as to the probable etlect on tn politics of the country of the Alliance pol icy if adopted as outlined bv Dr. Macune:-, It cannot fail to have a marked effect. -It would commit the Alliance of the South almont solidly against a third party. ' Dsn fore February, lhV2, we shall have a chanco to see which one of the two leading political parties will show a willingness to accede to our demands. There is nothing new in the principles of the Alliance platform, except in the circumstances and conditions which have brought it into existence. Clay, Calhoun and Webster stood on it, and even ' Charles Sumner was not very far off of it. If neither . party listens to ns then it will be time for us to act independently. We have no disposition to break down cither political party, bat relief must come through some political channel. "Do yon think there is any prospect of the Republican party falling into line and espousing the cause of the Alliance!" "No; I see no possible chance for the Hepublican party to secure the Alliance vote of the South while it stands on the present protective tariff platform. It will have to wholly forfeit its present identity as a political party in order to change that, and I do not see nny possible chance of this coming about" "Do you think the Democrats of the North would join tho Southern Democrats sn an Alliance platform?" "I do. I think more, and make the prediction that the Democratic national convention of 16'J2 will adopt the Alliance St Louis platform in toto." A MAN WHO HAS TKIED ALL PARTIES. Gen. J. H. Rice, of Kansas, who, with Mr. Willets, the defeated candidate for Governor, is'an aspirant for the people's nomination for United States Senatorlagainst Mr. Ingalls, got the lloor last night on a proposition to improve theMississippi river, but took occasion to deliver a violent political speech, in which he said: "I denounce the Republican party as unworthy of existence. No man honors it more for what it has done in the past than I. It restored the national . government, and or this I give it all honor. Time has corrupted it The only ambition of its members now is to scramble for loav es aud tiahes. It had its origin in the highest impulses of human freedom and I gloried in being one of its champions for nearly a quarter of a century, but now it has fallen from its high estate and has become a plunderer. It professes religion, but it is an infidel. It professes freedom, but in xeality is a treacherous tyrant. It it a gigantic conspiracy to erectamonied imperialism upon the ruins cf tree Institutions. It is the champion of

trusts, monopolies and corporations to grind down the toiling masses." The speech produced a profound sensation, and Alliance men of both parties wish it understood that his opinions are simply those of an individual, and not indorsed by the Alliance as a body. It has been the themo for general comment to-day. General Kice said to-nisrht that tho Vincent brothers, of Kansas, had nothing to do with the authorship of the call for a thirdparty conference in February next. "It originated,1 he said, "in a conversation between myself and Capt C. A. Power, of Indiana, and was written wholly by me, afterwards submitted to Captain Power and Hon. John Davis, and one or two slight changes made in its phraseology, and then we asked John Davis to sign it first, which he did." The third-partv movement is gaining ground rapidly. The "presence here of so many representatives of the national labor and industrial organizations strengthens tho opinion that the entire 'reform' element in the country will join this new movement The Western and Northwestern delegates are said to be practically united on indorsing the Rice -Davis call. and it is predicted that they will demand that the Southern Democrats in the Alliance join in the movement in payment of the debt incurred by the latter to the Western Alliance men who sat by and raised no protest against the Fassage of tbe anti-election-bill resolution, t is not believed, however, that the Southern members will renounce one particle of their allegiance to the Democratic party. This third-party project is the uppermost topic of discussion in the hotels and everywhere in the city outside of the Alliance hall. POWDERLY Wms ANOTHER PARTY. At a publio meeting of the National Alliance, fully two thousand people crowded the opera-house to hear political speeches of Knights of Labor delegates. A. W. Wright, of Toronto, was introduced by President Polk, and spoke for ten minutes. He said that the Knights stood on the same platform and were working for the same national reforms as the Alliance men. They were willing to stand by tbe farmers in their demands, and would vote with them if need be. Ralph Beaumont followed in a short speech, and then President Polk introduced Mr. Powderly in a speech which caught the sympathy of the audience and paved the way for tbe ringing applause at Mr. Powderiy's appearance. Mr. Powderly. said that it was time for lawyers to stand aside and give the farmers a chance as well as merchants and laborers, lie was speaking only for himself individually, and if it was general sentiment for allproducing industrial and laboring organizations to stand together in 1892 and to vote together he would "be there' and would shoulder his gun and go into the hottest of tbe fight The time has gone when we will refuse to speak the plain truth. The Farmers Alliance had now reached the point in its progress when its enemies were abusing it, and this was always a hopeful sign to him. Applause. When our enemies are abusing us we are sure we are making progress. The whole line of his talk was

enconragement of a third-party movement if it became necessary, Towards the close of his speech he said: Nott let me say to you that our greeting to yon is most cordial and heartfelt. We feel that we are part of your organization. Here is your platform. Let us all agree upon it If it is to agitate and do hard work upon that platform wo are with you; and if we are to vote with yon on that platform, we will stand by you at the polls." I Applause and cheers.) Mr. Powderly was followed by - John Davis, Congressman-elect, from Kansas, President Polk and others. Engineered by Democrats. Washington, Dec. 5. Representative Sweeney of Iowa sent the following to Representative Pickler of South Dakota, who is at present at the meeting of the Farmers Alliance at Ocala, Fla.: "I am creditably informed that instructions to procure pass age by your assembly on the resolution op posing the election bill was telegraphed from the Canitol here to Florida bv Demo cratic Senators several hours before the resolution was reported to your assembly. Mr. Sweeney, while declining to give the names of the Senators alluded to, expressed his readiness to testify before any commit tee desiring to investigate tbe. matter. COSTLY FIRE AT PITTSBURG.

IT BESTS mm GLADSTONE

Conferences Between the Liberal Leader and Irish Nationalist Members. Parneirs Fate Now Seems to Be in the Hands of the Ex-Premier Talks with Delegates to America Archbishop Ireland's Views. SEEKING A COMPROMISE. Conference of Nationalists with Gladstone Clancy Resolution Modified. London, Dec. 5. Messrs. Redmond, Sex ton, Healy, Leamy and the two whips, Power and Deasy, with the exception of Parnell, being all tho committee appointed at yesterday's meeting of the Irish members, of Parliament to confer "with Mr. Glad stone, drove to the residence of the Liberal leader at 12:40 o'clock to-day. AH tho members of the committee, except the -whips, entered the honse. Ten minutes be fore the arrival of the Irish delega tion Mr. Morley, Sir Wm. Vernonllarcourt.Earl Spencer and Earl Granville, who had been conferring with Mr. Glad stone, took their departure. The confer ence lasted an hour. Mr. Gladstone gave the delegates a cordial reception. lie acted throughout with the full approval of his colleagues. Mr. Arnold Money was pres ent at tbe conference, and when it was over be remained in consultation with Mr. Gladstone. It was learned to-night that Mr. Glad stone suggested a modification of the Clancy resolution. lie objected to anv reference beincr made to the differences between Mr. Parnell and himself. He said he was willing to discusrmatters having a letiuite bearing on tbe Utuation apart from any retrospect, bnt desired that no reference be made directly or indirectly to the question of rarnelrs leadership. He informed tho deputation of the decision of bir m. v ernon-Harcourt and Mr. Morley not to tako part in tbo conference, and sug gested that their names be omitted from the resolution. In conclusion Mr. Gladstone said that if the Irish party agreed to these suggestions ho was willing to enter further into the subject. 1 be delegates explained Mr. Gladstone s proposals to the meeting of Nationalists on their return and an amicable discussion followed. Mr. Parnell was in the chair. After several members had spoken Mr. John Redmond moved to rescind the Clancy resolution. Mr. Sexton seconded tbe action, which was carried unanimously. 4 Mr. Redmond then moved that a resolution be adopted authorizing Messrs. Learav. Red mond, ilealy and Soxton to request a confer ence with Mr. Uladstone for the purpose ot representing the views of tbe Irish party and requesting that an intimation be given them regarding the intentions of Mr. Glad stone and bis colleagues with respect to certain details connected with the land question and the Irish constabulary in tbe event of home rule being granted. Mr. fees ton seconded tbe motion, which was carried, with onl.v two opposing votes, the dissenters being Messrs. Clancy and Barry. The meeting then adjourned. lhe deputation I immediately sought Mr. Gladstono and imparted to him the new resolution. .Mr. Gladstone at once con voked an informal meeting of all his colleagues, with whom he could romunicate, in his private room in the "fonse of Commons. Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Mr. Morley, Earl Granville, Lord Herscbell, Mr. Arnold Morley aud others responded. Soon after this conference met Mr. Gladstone intimated, through the party whips, that a second interview with the Irish deputa tion was unnecessary, the resolution and the written statement of the committee having put him in full.possession of the facts. The Honse of Commons having risen at C o'clock, the Parnellite members decided to postpone a further meeting until to morrow. At midnight no reply had been received from Mr. Gladstone, but one is expected early to-morrow. Mr. Harrington cabled from Chicago to Mr. Parnell as follows: "Stand tirm; America is with you." I he resolution relative to Parnell which was adopted by the Catholic hierarchy of Ireland will be read in all the Catbojjo churobes and chapels in Ireland. ' " Mr. Walsh, chairman of tho Kildvsart Union, and a stanch supporter of Mr. Parnell. has been arrested on the charge of Ji!! J.ll.. lniimiaauon. THE IRISH DELEGATES. Why They Have Temporarily Broken En gagements Archbishop Ireland's Views. Chicago, Dec. 5, Thomas Power O'Con nor authorizes the A ssociated Press to make for him and his colleagues tho following statement in answer to the statement published in this country and telegraphed to England, to the effect that, at a conference yesterday, the Irish envoys nad decided to abandon their American tour: "It is not true. No such decision has been arrived at. It is true that we have postponed tho holding of a number of meetings which had been arranged for. This was done chiefly because to have held them would have necessitated the separation of tbe party, which was deemed inadvisable under existing -conditions. Furthermore, we feit that if we held them we would be obliged to speak of, matters concerning which we deemed it advisable to remain silent for the present. Our attitude is simply one of expectancy, and will so continue until some definite decision ka reached on the other side.'' Mr. O'llrien to-day received a cablegram from Alderman Hooper, proprietor of the Cork Herald, stating that Mnn&ter was souud, and that there need not be the least fear for the country at large. Mr. Hooper's cablegram also pressed for a further expression by the Irish envoys in America for the people's guidance. In response, after consultation with bis colleagues, Mr. O'Brien sent the following cablegram: , "Telegram received. Have kept silence out or respect tor deliberations oi our colleagues, confidently relying on their mature judgment and that of the Irish people. Do not be misled by hasty or ill-informed American telegrams. All sober opinion here is overwhelmingly with us. There is not a single daily throughout the United States bnt agrees with us that Gladstone's bona tides is unimpeachable; that disruption of the Liberal alliance means destruction, and that, if the Irish party comes to a prompt decision, the Irish cause will occupy a more impregnable position than ever." Archbishop Ireland, of St. Paul, called upon the envoys to-day and assured them that he had heard a universal chorus of approbation of tho stand taken by tbem in . their manifesto. He was confident that if wise counsels prevailed in London American feeling on the Irish cause would be enlisted more enthusiastically than ever before. Considerable significance is attached to th visit of Archbishop Ireland. He. came especially from St. Paul for the purpose of having the interview, arriving in the morning and returning by the afternoon train. He expressed tbe fullest agreement with the manifesto issued here and gave Messrs. Dillon. O'Brien and comrades strong encouragement for tbe increased success ot their mission throughout the country if th Irish party decided in favor of the retirement of Mr. Parnell. in this connection it may be stated, however, that nothing is known here of any manifesto by the American bishops as a body, and it is believed that no such step as the issue of such a paper has oven been contemplated. The fact leaked out to-day that while the Irish envoys were in Cincinnati a special delegate was sent by tho leading Irishmen of Boston all the way to Cincinnati. His mission was to urge the envoys to counsel ParnelPs retirement. To-night the Dillon-O'Brien partr admitted that they were discussing the advisability of n journey to New York. Up to 9:o0 p. M. no time for such a step had been fixed. Mr. Harrington, at the same hour, said he was thinking of a trip to Detroit to vi6it some personal friends, but like tho other envoys had been unable to reach a decision. Mr. O'Connor said there was no truth in the report that a cablegram had been received by himself and comrades from Londor, regarding a reported compromise, and that proceedings tbere were to be postponed to await the action of the envoys in Chicago. A Denial That Comes Itather Late. New Yoiik, Dec. 5. The Catholic News has received the following from its Dublin correspondent, Thomas Sherlock, an Irish

journalist whose relations with the Nationalist members of Parliament are of a very close natnre: "On authority which I have good reason to consider excellent, I make the statement that Mr. Parnell has assured at least two members of the Irian, parliamentary party that the charge mado against him by Captain O'Shea is utterly without foundation in fact, and that he looks forward to a near time v hen he will be able to prove as much with good results to tbe Irish cause. I am personally acquainted with the two gentlemen named to me, and indeed I know them well enough to be able to say off-hand that for political reasons they would follow1 Parnell to the end, even if they were satisfied that there were blemishes on his private character. Those two members of the Irish parliamentary party are convinced that Mr. Parnell is simply biding his own time to vindicate himself at the precise moment when the vindication will hav more effect for Ireland." BRITISH FLAG HAULED DOWN. An Incident That May Cause More TroubleBetween England and Portugal. Lisbon, Dec. 5. The news received yesterday from Capetown that a Portuguese force had seized Mutacas Kraal at Manica, South Africa, and hauled down tbe British flag, replacing it with the flag of Portugal, was a surprise to tho Portuguese government. The action did not result from any instructions issued by the government or -the Mozambique company, for all instructions issued by them to their subordinates in South Africa provided for a directly contrary course. It is supposed here that tbe instructions had not arrived at Manica on Nov. 8, the day tho affair is alleged to have taken place. Care for Diphtheria. . Berlin, Dec 5. The Schlesiscbe Zeitung says that Emperor William has given audience to a Silesian doctor named Kicger, who claims to have discovered a cure for diphtheria. Rieger, the paper says, demands $30,000 for the secret of his remedy. The Emperor desires Professor Koch to test the remedy. . The Cancer Parasite Discovered. London, Dec. 6. Dr. Russell, senior pathologist at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, claims that he has discovered the cancer parasite, which he maintains he has traced to a fungus of the yeast type. He is still pursuing experiments in this department of research. Cable Jiotes. Germany has officially recognized the united states of Brazil. The French Chamber of Deputies has rejected a proposal for the abolition of the match monopoly. . The bill granting 5,000 "f or providing seed potatoes inthe famine-threatened dis

tricts of Ireland passed the committee stage in the House of Commons last evening. It is reported that tbe Czar has forbidden his subjects to enter Monaca on account of the ruin brought to many wealthy Russian families through the gaming tables there. Ex-Queen Natalie has presented to the Servian Skuptchina a statement concerning the differences between herself and exKing Milan, her divorced husband, who was formerly rnler of Servia. The Catholic magistrates of Ghent have recognized tho Salvation Army as a sect, and have lined a number of persons who were brought before them charged with having created a disturbance at meetings held by the army. f V The cork factories in the district of Algarve, Portugal, are idle. Tbe reason given for the stoppage of work is that since the new tariff law wentinto effect inthe United country have ceased. An explosion occurred yesterday in the shell-tilling-room of tne British Admiralty powder magazine at Gosport. A shell burst with tremendous force, snaking the marine barracks. One man was killed and two. were injured. Emin Pasha, who is at the bead of a German expedition, has arrived at Lake Victoria. The expedition had a number of lights with Arab slave-traders, but it was successful in all the engagements. All the European members of the expedition are well. The funeral services over the remains of Gen. Seliverskoff, the Russian agent in France, who was shot in Paris recently, took place there yesterday. President Carnot was represented at the ceremony. A strong guard was stationed about the church, owing to the fact that the Russian embassy had received a note stating that the church would be blown up during the services. i Another daring railroad robbery has been committed in the south of Prance, but fortunately the perpetrator was taken into custody before he could escape with his plunder. ' The thief made an attack with a knife upon passenger in one of the compartments of a coach, and, after seizing upon his money and valuables, jumped from tbe train. He was pursued and captured.
