The Eccentric Woman Urs Very 111 at Her Farm Near Oswego, N. Y. * Dr. Mary E. Walker, well known throughout the country for her eccentricities and as the only woman commissioned a surgeon of tho United States army during the rebellion, lies dying at her farm five miles west of Oswego. N. . Y. Dr. Mary arrived from Washington last August. She had been sick in the Capital, and her physicians directed that she be sent to her home. She is troubled with heart failure, and the end is looked for any moment. Dr. Walker is a graduate of a Geneva. N. Y.. medical college, and was admitted to practice in ISSB. In 1861 she went to Washington i Ur^. ; • " -'oi’Taking care otthe sick antT" wounded ! soldiers in the hospitals. Her first du- | ties were in the Indian hospital under Dr. Green. During the last year of the war she was in the Southwest with Col. Dan McCook, and wh*io there she was made a prisoner by Champ Ferguson. the guerrilla and sent t> Castle Thunder in Richmond, where she remained four months.'ln 1866 Dr. Walker visited Europe, hoping that h"r reformatory ideas would meet with more encouragement. She appeared upon the platform in St. James’ Hail dressed in a black silk tunic rea hing a little below the knees and fitting the figure closely i like a man’s frock coat, black cloth 1 trousers, her hair in curls, and a bunch ! of flowers at her throat.

A mass meeting will be held there and ii delegation w : .1 be sent to confer with the Governor. This place is contiguous t > an extensive st<>< k country. The ranchmen are several mile-, apart. Should Indians begin dep: edit ions they couli cause groat havoc. A mis, meeting is called at the Court House here to take action toward securing protection, which is totally lacking at present.

Postmaster Generai, Wanamahi: has made his annual report. The mH important paragraphs touching the I’«t--oflice Department and its various raffieations are those which deal with ie subjects of postal telegraph, postal wings banks and 1 cent postage. r. Wanamaker's position regarding a poll telegraph is well known. It is a d<prooted conviction with him that suqa system would be of much greater be flt to the American people than to bye the control of the telegraph serviee^i the hands of a practical monopoly. Miy sided as this question is the Postmair Generai has,he says, studied it from e\ry point of view. His report shows tha he lias fully considered the arguments tat ; have been made against it. and timin' believes he has successfully overthr"ii them all. Upon the subject of poll savings banks the Postmaster Gemal I also treats at length. His report sb4 4 the adoption of such auxiliaries^tWy; ■ > • "W ’ -^4 —— Intent Tn small onthing communfV’’’ where savings banks do not exist will be. in the first place, an encouragement to thrift and economy. Many millions of dollars will thus be saved annually j that are now, in the absence of a proper protection, needlessly wasted The suggestion of 1-eent postage finds great, favor in Mr Wanamaker's eyes ThJ receipts from this source are now abotH sas.oob.ooo annually. Todivide the rats by one-half would make, in his opinivt/ a deficit of 5’19,000.000, a larger burtb'! i than the country is now prepared [to I stand. While upon this subject lie' Postmaster General explains that jie business of the other executive depgtmonts, which is handled free, would if it paid the usual postage, increaseihe ! revenu ' of the postal service about K--000.000 a year, a sum sufficient to ofl-et the present deficit of sil.ooo.oooand h ive a handsome balance of 82,t o>,ooo |esides.

A concerted effort will b' made to amend the interstat" commerce law during this session of Congress. Mr. Jay Gould is going to try his hand tit legislation.

Mr. Gould wants the law so amended that pooling can be re-estab-lished openly and without the roads running the risks they do now by their secret arrangements. The apparent demand for this legislation comes from the j West. Permission to pool is said to be I the only thing lacking to enable tho Western roads to carryout Mr. Gould's . ideas of a clearing-house arrangement ■by which they will divide the busi- ; ncss fairly and all of them make । money.

J jimmMHiinmmiT ■ -in iuhth FARMERS IN THE FIELD. I WHAT THE ALLIANCE HOPE TO accomplish.

Annual Convention of the Order at Ocala. Fla.—Talk <>< Putting a fresi<ient iul Ticket in the Field in 1 StP’-Possilnl ity O s an Alliance with the Workingmens Organizations. 1 [Washington dispatch.! I Tim annual meeting of the National I Farmers’ Alliance will bo. held at Oeaia, Fla., beginning Tuesday, Dec. 2- I" many respects it will be the most iinportant industrial meeting held in this l country in many years, and tho action taken there will either clear the political atmospln re wonderfully or complicate

matters so that tho wisest political guessers will be put to their wits’ends to divine the course of affairs in the next I Presidential election. There is a strong possibility that the Farmers’ Alliance will bloom out as a full-Hedged third party with a full tick.-t in the field in I 1892. 'I bis matter will oe settled piactically at tb.e Ocala convention. Just what the action of the convention will be in this icgard it is impossible to forecad. It is safe to say, however,

that tho sub-treasury bill, with such I modifications as have, been suggested by the criticism that the publication of the measure evoked, will be pushed for all it is worth. What other principles of the organization will ba pushed to the front I it is too early to surmise. The conven- ' tionwillbe thoroughly representative. . tix; recent meeting at Denver. ( oL. I.ubor appointed < loiurfll ’ M a k'd'iirW 8 of, man Powderly, A. W. yVright o" ('auada, and Ralph Beaumont of Nev, York '' to attend the Alliance Convention as fraternal tielegates. These three are clear, j -forcible speakers and .earnest men. and I) it. is altogether likely 'that the partial

combination effected between these two grekt industrial organizations will be made closer in the matter of political action at all events. 'Die Knights of Labor bear a proposition to the Alliance to join with that order in calling, at as early a date as possible, a convention of all labor and reform organizations to decide the question of independent political action. They are strongly of the opinion that the Alliance will take this action. Such a convention would take in the Patrons of Husbandry, the Grange, the Farmers’ Mutual Betfcfit Association, and the New England Farmers’ Organization, all of which are thoroughly in sympathy with tho Alliance, but have not as yet Joined it. Then tho Knights of Labor, tho Federation of Railroad Employes, the American Federation of Labor, and the big trades unions would be invited to attend tho convention. The actual voting strength of these organizations will reach well up toward three millions, and it can readily be seen if such a convention is called and should decide to take independent action, it would cause some queer overturnings in 1892, and it is among the probabilities. In speaking of the Ocala convention C. W. Maceine, ( hairman of the Executive Committee ind editor of the A'uti'aml Jh; ..pi,,’ i d, " organ of the Alliance, said: “Ih«-meeting is a most important one from th" Farmers’ Alliance standpoint, a political standpoint, and an economic standpoint. Being the national m< "ting of the order, it will probably take th" next step in tb.e development of this great new force, and sin • there is every imii< atioi^ tlu^t sectionalism, so far as It ifcpends upon*' prejudice between the farmers of the South and Northwest, will be forever buried, the political signilic ice cannot be overestimat. d. It is impossible for us to obtain exac data as to tiie victories in the recent elections; many men have been elected as partisans on whom we can depend on almost all questions to represent the I armors It is probably now a couservat ive est imat*' to say we will have lorty men in the Fifty-second Congress who can be depended on to represent tho farmers' interest on all occasions. "With a thorough understanding from all sections, enlightened and educating, and sectionalism replaced by co-opera-tion and unity, tho economic possibilities for the good of this great order are almost immeasurable. ” The Farmers’ Alliance was started in Texas in 1876, but it was not until eleven years later that the order became national and began to develop strength. It absorbed the old .Agricultural Wheel, in 1889, at St. Louis. At that convention the Knights of Labor were represented and after a long discussion and many conferences the “St. Louis platform” was adopted. Among other things it includes practically the Knights of Labor planks on land, currency, and transpotortion, which read as follows: The land, including the natural sources of wealth, is the heritage of all the people, and should not be subject to speculative traffic. Occupancy should te the only title to the possession of land. The taxes upon land should be levied upon its full value for use. exclusive of improvements, and should be sufficient to take for the community all unearned increments. The establishment of a national monetary sv-tem, in which a circulating medium in neces-ary quantity shall issue direct to the people without tie* intervention of banks: that all the national issues shall bo full legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, and that the Government shall not guarantee or recognize any private banks, or create any banking c irporitions; that interest-bearing bonds, bills of credit, or notes-hall never be issued by the Government; but that when need ar ses the emergencj’ shall be met by issue of legal tender, non-interest bearing money. That tiie Government shall obtain possession by purchase, under the right of eminent demain, of all telegraph, telephone. and railroads; and that hereafter no 1 barter or license be i-sued to any corporation for construction or operation of any moans of transporting intelligence, passengeta. or ft eight.

After the adjournment arrangements hat e been made for a free, excursion all oxer the State of Florida, stopping at all the principal points and giving the delegates a geneial goo I time for a week or so.

- I’ - — ^...0.^ M might possibly lead to an arrest. At U first some of tiie police authorities were * rather inclined to doubt Clarke's story. They could not believe a sane man would bo traveling with so much cash about the streets, and they thought, too, that it would be but natural for a man to make an outcry when robbed, which Air. Clarke admitted he had not done, but instead had rushed down to the depot to find a policeman. But all doubt of Mr. Clarke having the money was dispelled late to-night when Mr. Clarke's attorney, a leading lawyer of the city, was seen at his home and admitted having identified Air. Clarke at the Second Ward Bank this afternoon that he might cash the 822.000 check. He had spoken to Air. Clarke, he said, about taking the entire amount in cash, but Mr. Clarke said he had some bills to pay here and also a 5t7,000 loan to pay at a Sheboygan bank. Air. Killelea further said that he had . known Air. Clarke for many years and did not doubt for a moment that he told the truth about the robbery. The only theory he could advance was that some one must have seen him draw the money at the bank or had noticed the contents of the sachel in some of the places where he had paid out money this afternoon. Mr. Clarke is the sole proprietor of the Sheboygan electric-light plant, which I represents an investment of 860,000. J I GLADSTONE'S ULTIMATUM. Ho Says Mr. I'nrnell Must Withdraw from tho Lead-rship. [London cablegram.] tWTa-; -L TIT All . Alorley has communicated to Air. Parnell the following letter, written Alonday: Dear Mr. Morley: Having arrived at a certain conclusion with regard to the continuance of Mr. Parnell's leadership of the Irish party, I have seen Mr. McCarthy on my arrival in town and have inquired from him whether I am likely to receive from Mr. Parnell himself any communication on the subject. Mr. McCarthy replied that he was unable to give me any information. I mentioned to him that in 18-2. after the terrible murder in Phwnix Park, Mr. Parnell, although totally removed from any idea of responsibility, had spontaneously written me and offered to take the Chiltern Hundreds, an offer much to his honor, but. which I thought it my duty to decline. While clinging to the hope of a communication from Mr. Parnell, to whomsoever addressed, I thought it necessary, viewing the arrangements for the commencement of the session to-day. to acquint Mr. McCarthy with the conclusion at which, after using all the means of observation and reflection in my power, I had myself arrived. It was that, notwithstanding the great services rendered by Mr. Parnell to his country, his continuance at the present moment in the leadership would be productive of consequences disastrous in the highest degree to the cause of Ireland. I think I may be warranted in asking you so far to expand the conclusions given above as to add that Mr. Parnell’s continuance as leader would not only place many hearty and effective friends of the Irish cause in a position of great embarrassment but would render my retention of the leadership of the Liberal party, based as it has been mainly upon the prosecution of the Irish cause, almost a nullity. This expansion of my views I begged Mr. McCarthy to regard as confidential, and not intended for his colleagues generally if he found that Mr. Parnell contemplated spontaneous action: but I also begged that, he would make known to the Irish party at Ihcirm.vtin- to-morrow tha I stir!, was my x convlusion, if he should find titac Sir. P,noli had nut in epntemplation any step the nature indicated. I now write yfiu in case Mr. McCarthy should be unable to communicate with Mr. Parnell, as I understand you may possibly have an opening to-mor-row through another channel. Should you have such an opening I beg you to make ’ known to Mr. Parnell the conclusion stated in this letter. I have thought it best to put it in terms simple and direct, much as I , should have liked, had it lain in my power, to a deviate the personal nature of the situation as respects the manner of conveying what my public duty has made it an obligation to say. I rely entirely on ycur good feeling, tact, and judgment. IYdl'am E. Gladstone. It transpires that during the trial of the O’Shea divorce case the Nationalist members of Parliament pledged themselves to sui port Mr. Parnell whatever th*' result of the trial might be, and not to consider the sentiment of the English Liberals in the matter. Sir Charles Russell, in a speech at Hackney, said that many Irish members were sad at heart because of the calamity that had befallen the cause of Ireland. He believed they wished that Parnell would bow his head to the storm and recognize the fact that he had inflicted a serious wound upon the consciences of the people of both countries, and had damag d the cause for which he iiad fonglit so long. Several Liberal candidates have written letters announcing that they withdraw from the field, foreseeing certain defeat. The Parnellites openly assert that they mean to stick to Parnell, even if they should delay home rule fifteen vears by ko doing.
