Err RATION.
knights OF Labor and Farmers Al
lance VIII Join.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. l6.--federation of
the Knights of Labor with the Farmers
Alliance is a foregonc conclusion. 1t is
stated that the ends for which both
orders arc working are identical and as.
sociated together they could form an ir-
resistiblc power, and what each singly is
now obliged to struggle for, united they
could demand and obtain. Among the
visiting Alliance men were President
Livingston of Georgia Alliance and Com.
missioner OF Agriculture Henderson.
President Livingston devoted "A halfhour
to discussion ofthc principles OF the ALI.
ance. He described the condition of the
farmer in the South; how he had to CON
tend against the greatest difficulties
since the war and how he now, luboring
IN hope, might educate his children.
The mortgaged condition of Southern
farms formed one feature of his talk.
His address made deep impression and
was frequently appauded. Powdcrlys 5
reply showed that lie was thoroughly
in sympathy with federation and will
urge some plan upon both orders. No
important action was taken to. day.

THE NEWS IN NEW YORK.
A FURRY Expected on the Coffee Ex-
change To-Day.

New YonK, Nov. l5.--Messrs. Hard e
Rand received the following from Rio dc
Janeiro: A revolution has broken out
here. The Brazilian armies are in con
troll. The ministry has resigned The
minister was shot who attempted to es-
tablish republic
Dispatches were also received by Ar
buckle Brothers and Joseph j. o. Dono-
hue & Sons. These dispatches were re-
ceived Just after the coffee exchange
closed for the day
The reports came like clap of thl,n-
der to coffee dealers throughout the city
who were made acquainted with them
tonight, and are likely to cause serious
trouble on the exchange II confirmed.
While dealers generally spoke in u hope
full strain, they exhibited signs OF un-
easiness.
William II. Crossman Of Crossman
Bros, who had received no dispatch,
but had correspondence from Brazil at a
very recent date which gave no hint of
even anticipated trouble in that coun-
try, said. "If the report is true, coffee
is likely to anvance to hitherto unhcard
of figures, and when quiet is again re-
stored in Brazil enormous shipments
are likely to cause panic. The block
aiding of Brazilian ports attending revo-
tion In that country will result in cutting
oti more than three-fourths of the entire
India rubber supply of this country"

THE PRE- -EMPTI0N LAW
A Belief That 1t Has Been
Accidentally Repealed
ON ACCOUNT OF THE new STATES
Involving the Rights of Every
Pre-emptor Who Has Not
Proved Up.

BISMARCK, n. D., Nov. 15.-The point
was formally raised to-day by J. NJ.
Dudley of the legal department of the
Northern Pacific railroad in the United
States land Office that tho pre-emption
law had been repealed by the act of
congress providing for the admission of
the new states. 1t looks as If 1t was in
tended to repeal the eighth section of
the act of 1S4i US to the donation of 500,-
900 acres OF public land to new
states for public improvements !;
but the text includes not only the
repeal of that section but tho
whole law. The land department has
not had its attention called to it as yet,
but it is certain that the commissioner
will be called upon for his opinion, and
If this opinion Is adverse, the question
will be carried into the courts.
The repeal referred to also decided n
very large number of cases where the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company is a
party. If the law is repealed, all pre-
emption filings where final proof has not
been made are defeated, This necessarily
involves the rights of every pre-emptor
who has not proved up In the four states.

EXCHANGE GLEANINGs.
a Gigantic scheme to Work Over
Rich Trailings Near Idaho City.

Boise city Statesman: For years the
feasibility of tuning and washing the
beds of creeks near Idaho City, believed
to be rich with the tailings of the placer
mining of the early days, has been the
theme of discussion in every mining
camp of Idaho. At length company of
able and courageous men have taken
the enterprise in hand. George Ainslic,
well known throughout the territory, Is
one OF the company.
At the time OF The discovery of the
piacers on Elk Creek Udnho City, in 1868
the bed of the creek, also of Moore's
creek, was thirty feet below the level of
the town, Now, owing to the am mOunt of
tailings deposited i'll the creek from
the numerous placers around, the bed
has gradually risen until IL is level
with the town, indeed Il little higher ON
the west side. for lcvee has been built
TO prevent the water encroaching on the
town limits. Now, when 1t Is rccollectcd
that these tailings were mainly deposited
there i'll the palmy days of placer min
ing in this camp, and Mt n time when no
gold saving machines were used but the
primitive rocker and rough sluices, and
that claims that would not pay from az
TO $40 II day to the man were either
abandoned or sluiced oil to get better
pay ground, and again, when we con-
sidcr how many tons of quicksilver were
carried Oft and which now lie deposited
with the larger gold in these tailings, il
can be no wonder to see nor does it seem
extravagant to assert that there are now
millions of dollars of gold dust and
quicksilver lying in the bed of tho
Moore and Elk creeks. We shall watch
with much interest the progress of this
grand enterprise. OF its completest sue
cess we have little doubt.

that while congress maintains the policy
of q protective tariff, we demand that all
farm products be as fully protected as
the most favored of the manufaC-
turing industries; that while the tariff
protects importation of foreign car
pets and other articles, we demand that
the duties on mutton, sheep and wool OF
all kinds be so increased as to equally
prohibiI the importation of mutton,
sheep and wool of every kind which can,
under protection, be sufficiently pro-
duced at fairly remunerative prices to
supply all American wants; that If pro-
lection to this extent be denied, we
call upon the farmers of the United
States to assert their power at the bal
lot box and otherwise to right the
wrong and injustice of discrimination
against them. no.

SPOKANE FALLS, Nov. 15..--
EDITOR REVIEW: notice in your

of the facts on which Mr.. Ryan

spect for the gentleman and his

bound to refute the same, AZ to my

iron in the form of pyrltes, hcmntite

of the Spokane Falls q Northern

capacity for time immemorial.

the readers of the daily papers well
know. j have presented the facts
in every form and have grown
weary of making arguments In fa-
vor of such II grand industry. To
my mind, all that Is necessary is to
erect the smeltcr and light the fires;
the ores, wet and dry, the fuel and
the fiuxes will be forthcoming. /

mines as any man living I'm the

tary to Spokane Falls, and am pre-
pared to prove any statements may

The church of God in Christ Jesus holds
to the restoration Si Israel; that there
is life only through Jesus Christ, and
that mans present state is moral de

They hold that Christ while on earth

G.. NJ. Fassctt, n well-known as

Office last night with a. piece of

had read Ryun's views in regard to

firmly impressed with the idea that
Spokane should and could have II
smelter, he could not let the former
gentleman's statement that there
was no iron ore in this part of the
country go unchallcnged.
The piece of ore Mr.. Fassett
brought to the REVIEW Office was
part of IA lot left with him to assay
1t came from II new find within four
miles of the Spokane N Northern
rallroad just how far north of this
city Mr.. Fassett was unable to say
1t is of the variety known as
limonite,and chemically is "A hydrous

AONDoN's MUSIC HALLS.
Proportion OF Indeccncy In tho Anus
ment They Provide.


The music halls are what they are be-
cause the British public is what 1t Is,
writes g, w. Smalley to the New York
Tribune. There is a proportion of in
decency i'll the amusement they provide
mot very large proportion. Such as
it is, no censorship can put 1t down.
The amount of it depends upon the
audience. There is less tonight and
more tomorrow. The song is often
nothing; the singing Of it is everything,
the muendo, the Grimace, the gag. A
hiss stops it, cheer sets II going; each
nights public does IL own censuring,, or
omits to do 1t, as the case may be.
What is permanent and continual Is
vulgarity. Unhsppily there is public,
and in I.ondona very large one,. which
likes vulgarity, which cares nothing. for
art and knows nothing Of II, which likes
singsong and garnish paint and crscked
voices and tho picture of coarse and
low life In the wit Of the gutter. The
