A Great Organization.

The Farmers and Laborers' Union and
the Knights of Labor have succeeded in
forming union which is represented to be
satisfactory to each, and which has for its
object the protection of the interests of each
This new organization embraces the farmers
alliances and the Knights of Labor organi-
cations of the entire country. There does
not appear to have been much difficulty in
reaching an understanding between
the farmers and tho knights The
Farmers and Laborers' Union met in
convention in st. Louis early last week,
and committee of the knights went there
and met committee appointed by the con-
vention. The full details of the union are
not given, but there appears to be no doubt
| that in the very near future the farmers
and knights, for all practical purposes, will
| form one body.
During the last congress committee ap-
pointed by the Knights was in Washington
looking after the interests of workingmen
A committee representing the farmers and
the workingmen will be in Washington dur
ing the present congress to Loo. out for the
welfare, as far as legje,ctIon is concerned.
of the new organization. AS the interests
OF the worklEKmen and farmers are not al
ways harmonious fact, are frequently
antagonistic-it may be difficult sometimes
for legislators to discover Just what sort of
legislation will be satisfactory to the new
organization.
Although it is not probable that it is the
purpose of the new organization to take an
active part in politics, no doubt efforts will
be made in the near future by ambitious
men to use it to promote their political
fortunes When the prohibition move
ment was started there was no intention to
create new political party. The purpose
was to secure prohibition by influencing the
existing political parties. 1t was not long,
however, before those who succeeded in
making themselves prominent in the cause
of prohibition became candidates for office
on a prohibition platform, and a prohibi-
ton party came into existence.
The managers of the new organization
may not be ambitious to secure political
honors and may confine their efforts to pro-
noting the interests committed to the cir
care. The PROBABILITY is, however, that if the
new organization holds together and proves
to be strong in number, and harmonious in
sentiment they will develop into Office
seekers, and will persuade the knights and
the farmers to support them. When this
new organization reaches tnat stage, If it
ever does, it is highly probable that it will
cease TO be useful to its members.

SULLIVAN GETS AN OVATION
In Spite of the Fact That BE Is a
Prisoner

JACKSON, Miss, Aug. AT every
town and station on the line of road
north of the Ohio river large crowds
had gathered and they cheered loudly
as the train passed, even though they
could not see the redoubtable John.
Ladies sent bouquets OF flowers to him.
and he was received everywhere as
conquering hero instead of the prisoner
he was. South of the Ohio the demon
strations were similar to those men
toned above. At Durant, Miss, Sulli-
van received an ovation, and hundreds
crowded around the train and
begged to shake hands with
him; several ladies entered the
cars and were introduced to the hero of
the hour. When jackson was reached
a great crowd assembled at the depot.
Sullivan was met by Bud Renaud, John
Duffy, c. w. Rich. Col. Jones S. Hamil-
ton, and several local sports and admir-
ers. They all marched to the hotel,
where dinner had been provided for
them. The crowd followed and shouted
for Sullivan until he went into the ro-
tunda, where he was introduced by Col.
Hamilton, and shook hands with hun
dreds, but finally had to retire to his
room, and the crowd was shut off. This
demonstration so angered the governor
that he ordered Sullivan locked up in
the city Jail, saying he did not intend to
allow prisoner, charged with serious
crime, to be holding levee and making
a farce of Justice.

Senators Reagan and Stewart
Make Speeches at Aberdeen.
Special to the Globe
ABERDEEN, Oak, Aug. 4.-Senators
Reagan and Stewart, of the senate irri-
cation committee, arrived in the city
this morning, and were met by large
crowd. An exhibition of the force of
the city's artesian we'll was given, and
a public meeting held at the opera
house, at which both senators spoke at
length. They announce the conviction
that irrigation by artesian wells is prac-
ticable; and Senator Reagan said
that land now worth from s6 to $40
when properly irrigated would be
worth $50 per acre. Senator Stewart
diseoursed the decentralization of silver
at length, denouncing the money bags
OF Wall street, and calling upon the
people of the new states to elect SEN
atOrS and representatives who will help
break the influence of the bondholders.
The debt cannot be paid in gold, de-
clared Senator Stewart: it would bank
Iupt the country. Senator Reagan fol-
lowed in the same vein. The commit-
tee is evidently bent on doing mission
airy work in the new states. This is the
first public meeting held upon the Sab
bath in the history of Dakota. The
committee left for jamestown this after

WATER IN AUSTRALIA.

The Country Changed by Streams
From Underground Rivers.
Macmillan's Magazine.
Sume years ago ventured to assert
in these pages that the future of Aus
tralia for the next thirty years rested
with the engineers. The recent discov-
cries of underground rivers in the most
arid portions of the continent, have
given those words greater Signifi-
canoe. The difficulty of Australia has
always been the fear that the land
will not support large population.
These discoveries of water dispel that
fear. 1t now appears that the volumes
of rain which fall about once in five
years over the greater part Of the
Australian continent, covering with
floods the plains which for four years
previously havea not known more
England by good fall of dew, find
their way through the porous soils into
channels and chambers beneath the
surface, where. at depth of one or
two thousand feet, they provide an i'll
exhauStible store of the most pre-
cious commodity known to the Aus
tralian squatter. 1t is impossible to say
at present how the use of these under
ground supplies of water may change
the face of the Australian continent.
The overflow from one bore, at place
called Kerribree. has already cut a
channel of several feet in depth through
the sand, and now forms permanent
river of several miles in length in what
used to be an absolutely waterless
country. 1t is only to be expected that
as more water is brought to the surface.
the clouds will take up more moisture
by evaporation and the rains will in
crease. Then, with regular rainfall
and ineXhaustible tanks and creeks,
even the Australian squatter might
begin to be cOntented.

RAPE AND MURDER.
A Most Fiendish Crime Com
mitted in Texas

BERKvILLE, Tex, Aug. 4.-Mamie E.
Allison, a young girl of fifteen, was
found dead in her bed Tuesday morn
ing by her sister, nine years of age, who
failed to notify the neighbors of the
fact, although friends were living not
1000 feet away. The young lady's par
ents were gone from home, having left
Sunday,no to return until Wednesday.
Thursday morning the girl found her
sister dead. "Wednesday a neighbor
called to get Allison to do some work for
him. and the younger girl told him her
father was not at home and would re-
turn that day, but he would not do any
work, as her sister was dead, adding:
"But don't tell any one until he comes
home" The physicians who exam
ined the body found that the most ter
rible crime had been first committed
and that the fiend had added murder by
deliberately choking his victim with
both hands, clasping her throat until
death ensued. Great clotS of blood
were found under the skin, which was
blackened and distigured terribly from
her throat down over her breast and
shoulders. From the testimony it de-
veloped that the younger sister was
threatened with death if she gave the
alarm, and was terror-stricken. Officers
are working on clue, with little chance

OLD HICKORY'S DUEL.
An Account of the Fight Between
Sewer and Jackson.

An Account of the Fight Between
Sewer and jackson.
Nashville American.
The duel between Jackson and Sewer
seems to have escaped history and biog-
raphy. Sewer was Jackson's equal as
soldier, and during his Indian fights of
over quarter-century he never lost
battle, because he always charged into
the natives when in a body, and
the Indian could fight with a
tree in front of him. In 1896
Sewer was the first governor of
Tennessee, and fer twelve years. Dur
IN Z the first term jackson was on the
supreme bench of the state. The two
men bad difficulty about military
election, both being candidates. On the
day when Jack Oh arrived at Knoxville
to hold court Sewer came also, mounted
a block III the square and denounced
Jackson in unmeaSured terms, calling
him all the names in the early vocabu-
larry. There could be but one result,
and that evening jackson challenged
him.
Sewer accepted. and then came
question as to where the fight should
take place. jackson wanted to fight on
the Cherokee reservation and Sewer in
Virginia. AS result letters passed be-
tween them in which the word coward
had the most frequent use. Finally
jackson started for Virginia and noti-
fed Sewer. He reached Virginia first
and remained several days rwaitlng the
arrival of his opponent. Sewer not ap
pearing he started for home, meeting
his rival on the way. They met i'll
the road, exchanged several shots,
frin ri
interfered. They never forgave each
other, and there is still tradition that
this was the most disgraceful episode in
the history of the state.

Wad-el-N'Jumi Falls in the
Forlorn Hope With q Bull
let in His Brain.
Gen. Grenfell's Report OF the
Fight--The Dervishes Are
Wiped Out.

LONDON, Aug. 4.-England is drawing
long breath of relief to-day after the
news of the complete rout of her enc
mics in Egypt, on the banks of the Nile,
early yesterday morning. Further de-
tails of the battle received here to-day
describe it as scene of revolving
slaughter, such as could scarcely occur
where both cOmbatants are civilized SOL
diers. Nor does the responsibility for
the butchery rest upon the English sol
diers and their Egyptian allies. Long
after the fate of the day had been de-
cided, after all hope of recovering their
lost ground had been abandoned
by the fanatical dervishes they
continued to hurl themselves upon
their foes, only to be mercileSSly
moved down as ripe grain before tine
reaper. They refused all qnarter and
gave none, but with grim determine
tiOn that knew but two issues to fight
victory or death-they fought as
bravely and Stubbornly when the deadly
fire of their enemies had cut great
SwathS in their ranks, and when every
movement was hampered by the pile6-up
bodies of their own dead, as when first
with unbroken front, and confident of
victory, they faced their foes. 1t was
while leading the scattered remnants of
his brave warriors in this forlorn hope
that the dervish leader, Wad-el N'Jumi,
fell pierced by bullet in his brain.
His followers, nothing daunted
by his fate, dashed themselves
over and over again upon the pitiless
and unbroken line of rlfe-barrels in
front of them and kept up the fight long
after every vestige of organization
among them had been destroyed and
when nothing was left for the scattered
fanatics but to sell their lives as dearly
as possible. So it came that fully one
half OF the invaders force was left dead
on the field. The small number of fight
ing men which Wad-el-N' Jumi brought
into the engagement is complete sur
prise. ALI estimates heretofore cred
tied him with an available force of no
less than 5000 men, while 1t turns out
that he could not, at any tina, have had
more than half that number. The
whole dervish force is now completely
wiped out, and all immediate danger of
an invasion from that quarter is at an
end.

afterward depart for Liverpool. The
steamer was Illuminated last night by
electric lights artistieally displayed

THE BOSTON ON A ROCK.
Narrow Escape of One ofthe Gov

Narrow Escape of One ofthe Gov
ernment's New Ships.
NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. 4.-The navy
has just escaped losing one OF the finest
of its new ships The Boston was this
evening run on rock on the southern
end of Rose island, i'll this harbor. The
Boston had just completed the last OF
series of most important speed and
maneuvering trials in Narrangansett
bay, and was returning to her anchor
age Off Goat island when the accident
occurred. No sooner did the cruiser
strike than off she slid. In an in
stant all the water-tight compart-
ments were banged tight shut. but
not before the compartments of the
double bottom under the engine
room were completely Hooded.
The Boston was at once headed close in
shore, and now, with all her cOmpart-
ments tightly shut, she appears to keep
the water confined. If nothing worse
develops by morning she will be able to
reach New York by steaming slowly.
AS soon as she makes the navy yard,
not moment will be lost in getting her
into the dry dock, and until this is done
no idea can be formed of the extent of
her injuries. No one doubts that she
has knocked hole in her bottom some
where amidships. Had she been going
at little higher rate of speed she
would have torn hole in her side large
enough to have driven team through.
She was lifted on one side While
diver examined her bottom. The
amount of damage is not yet known.
The officers are reticent.
