The coalition plan, thai OF uniting al the Oppo-
Etion To the democracy VpOa a si1Ele ticket and
platform, was tried in the recent Alabama cleo
ton, and the returns, which have Just been
o1ncialiy counted, show a democratic II iOrity of
s1.OS1. The republicans are caiCui ltint upOn
making great inrOads UPON tn hitherto solid
dem0cratic south, In the November election, by
this Plan OF Coalition IL IS being adopted in
nearly all the southern states. and the question Is
does the result in Alabama afford any insight to
tle working OF the plan IN the other states OF
mat section? Unless there IS something excpD-
ton1l In the conditions OF Alabama politics or the
methods OF reaching results there, it must be con-
fessed that the outlook in the other southern
skates Is not reaSsuring to the advocates O.cOali-
Gon- Ii is claimed by the democrats in Alabama
mat when the cOlOred voters were abSOlvei from
allegiance To the republican party by the yolun-
Safy ACT or that party, many OF them became
in1lHerent, and that members were captured by the
democrats. There VIII, however, be a phase OF
oae Congressional election which did not exist I'm
the Alabama state election In many OF the dis
Uicts there will be Independent candidates run
ming without obligation or allegiance to the
oemoeraey. Whenever any strength can be
gained by it, the policy OF the coalftontsts Is to
ADOPT and support such candidates, and if this
Plan Is carried out judicIouSly it may cut down
the democratic representation from the south. 1t
u already apparent, though. that the democratic
organization of that section Is determined to put
Orth all its energies in the canvass.

RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
Meeting of the Commission at ST. LOufs
Urgent Appeal of the Weeks

For an Appropriation for the Weeks
burg HarbOr, which was
Promised.

ST. LOUIS, September 1.-THE United
States River Commission met here Saturday
afternoon, General Gilmore, chairman; Ma
lor Suter, Msior Harrod, Captain Sears,
Prof. Mitchell, Judge Taylor, Lieutenant
Leach and Secretary Berry, present. A dele
cation from Cairo, including Congressman
Thomas. was given an audience and strongly
urged the commission 10 renew operations
at points on the river about Cairo, where
nothing has been done for a long time, and
where work Is very necessary. A delegation
from Nlcksburg was also present, and made
an urgent appeal for the Improvement of
Nicksburg harbor. They asked that a
recommendation be made for a specific APP
preparation for Vicksburg in the next an
nual report to Congress, so that the money
would be voted and the work performed in
the most expeditions manner. They also
asked that $3.50, 900 OF the unassigned fund
now at the disposal of the commits
sion should be allotted to VIcksburg
at once. The importance of Vicksburg
was expatiated upon, and the assertion
made that it was the only harbor of any
prominence in the country for which an ap-
preparation has not been made. General
that action has been DELAYED in this matter
because he did not believe the plans which
had been proposed for the improvement
were practicable. There was no intention
on the part of the commission to neglect
Vicksburg. The case would be taken under
sdvisement and an appropriation made as
soon as possible. The plans which had been
submitted for the work at Vicksburg were
commented upon, and Major Harrod gave
the opinion that the plans of the United
States engineers was the most practicable
and economical. He said the foods OF last
spring had been beneficial, and they showed
what must be commended against in the fu-
ture. The delegation was again assured
that an allotment of funds would be made

could be. can only believe that she has
been induced to leave her home BY some

Captain Chester refused to speak about
the matter, his whole time being occupied in
brooding over his daughters disappearance
or converting with some intimate friend who
would be likely TO know anything of her
whereabouts.
Mr.. z. A. Lane, an old friend of tine fam
lily, and one whom the missing girl generally
confded in, was seen by q World reporter
yesterday. Mr.. Lane was at loss to under
stand the cause of the girls disappearance,
but believed that she did not run away of
her own accord. "My theory" said Mr..
Lane, dis that she left her home Wednesday
morning, bound on some excursion or pleas
ure trip with one of her friends. She has
always been pa.siouately fond of such trips,
and IT would require but little persuasion 10
induce her to join some such party. Who
ever she started off with 1 believe to be a

and who has either drugged her or forcibly
carried her off to come out-of-the-Way place,

man with whom she WAS last seen, but up to
late hour last night no success had attend

CIVIL Service REFORM.
A Circular from the Various Massa.

Boston, September ia circular ISSUED
and signed by a committee of representa-
tives of the various Civil Service Reform
Leagues in this vicinity was printed THU
morning. 1t is signed by over 1000 promi
nent business and professional men, inclu
ding Edward Atkinson, Francis Parkman
President Eliot, of Harvard, Charles r
Goldman, Higginson & Co., John E. Sanford
and Mark Hopkins, of Williams College
and the faculty OF Amherst College. The
circular says: I'VE, the undersigned, CHI.
zens of Massachusetts, believe reform in The
methods of appointment to Office ia the most
pressing need in our politics, and that until
this reform is secured other questions can.
not be dealt with properly, both because our
representatives are too much occupied with
the distributing patronage to give them due
attention and because the present system
tends to the choice of men who study more
how to retain their Offices than how best TO
discharge their official duties. We have
therefore resolved to vote for no one at the
next election of members of Congress whose
character and record do not satisfy
us that he will be found in Office a con-
sistent, earnest and aggressive supporter
OF civil service reform. We have no
wish to separate from the political parties
with which we have always acted, and in
whose principles we believe, but when any
party dominates candidate from whom adj
herence to one of its leading principles can
not be expected, it forfeits its rights to the
support of its members. Wewish 10 assure the
triumph of our party principles by the nomi-
nation and election of men who believe in
them all, and will earnestly labor TO carry
them out. To this end, if candidate for
Congress Is nominated whose sympathy with
the cause OF civil service reform is doubtful,
We shall seek for ourselves some better repre-
sentative and cast our votes for him. We
advise our fellow-citizens TO adopt the same
course, 10 organize in their respective die
tricts, that their strength may be used to the
best effect, and so vote that their influence
may be felt against the dishonest and degrad-
ing system which corrupts the government
OF our country"
The issuing committee is headed by Charles
Francis Adams, jr., and Paul A. Chadbourne.
