HOW 1T WAS DONE.
Emphatic We're the Expressions
for Independent Action.

Emphatic Were the Expressions
for Independent Action.
The executive committee assembled
at the Clarendon hotel at 10 o'clock yes
terday morning and remained in ses-
sion, behind closed doors, the major
portion of the day. President R. j..
Hall was in the chair, and there were
present a full board, namely: PreSi-
dent R. J. Hall, of Morris, and vice
presidents from each congressional dis
trict, to wit: First district. Hon. j. j..
Furlong, Austin; Second district, d. B.
Lister. Lac qui Parle; Third district, H.
V. Poore, Bird Island; Fourth
district, A. l.. Stromberg, Forest
Lake; Fifth district, Hon. j. B.
Hampe, Deer Creek; Secretary
John Lathrop, Dawsoni Treasurer
Hon. II. P. Bjorge, Underwood; State
Lecturer Ignatius Donnelly, Nininger.
Little time was lost in reaching the
direct object of the meeting. The ex-
pressionS in favor of an independent ac-
tion were so emphatic and peremptory
that those inclined to favor conserva-
tive course were taken completely by
storm, and their voices were not raised
in opposition to the popular favor. Con-
seQuently, it was unanimously voted
that the Alliance hold a nominating
convention, at the state capitol, July 16.
1t was left optional with delegate body
whether or not full ticket be placed
in nomination: but, as Secretary La
throp declared to a GLOBE reporter
subsequently,; "There is no possibility
of stemming the tide. 1t is setting to-
wards complete ticket, and nomina-
tions will be made from governor
down."
The convention will be a monster
affair from a numerical point of view.
There are now upwards of LOO alli-
anceS in the state, and each alliance,
irrespective of its membership, is ell
titled to one delegate. 1t is fair to pre-
sumed, therefore. that there will be at
least 800 farmers in attendance. The
question of fixing date for this con-
vention provoked a breezy debate.
Some-it must be confessed that their
political sympathies are largely tine
tured with the Republican faith
convention to take note of the
tone of the platform to be formulated
thereat, but such were greatly in the
minority. The general sentiment was
to anticipate the Republicans, and it
was the belief that that party must in
dorse the principles of the Mckinley
bill, which is particularly odious to the
alliance.
The subject of finance was entered
into, and the meeting was astoDished by
the munificence of the Great West Pub
ishing company. That concern, which
is said to be owned by Gov. Merriam
headed the list of donors by con
tributing $1,000 to the cam
palgn fund. 1t is expected thai
the fund will reach $20,00l
or more before the campaign is opened
in earnest. Of course there is an ulte
rior motive in the Great Vests contri
button, but the alliance members as
severate that it will in no way influence
their Ultimate action.

was made, and it seems likely that none

was made, and it seems likely that none
will be made until the convention.
Anent this phase of this question,
Secretary Lathrop was asked if there
was any likelihood of President Hall
taking the nomination for governor.
"You can say for me-" in forcible
English" said he, ''that Mr.. Hall will
not accept the nomination. 1t is not
because he is afraid to fight, for he is
fighter from away back, but he will not
become candidate. The fact is he had
rather be free lance than be president
of the United States. have slept with
him and have had many condolences
with him, and am qualified in every
sense to speak for him. know his in
nermOSt SOUL"
"We have not canvassed the subject
of candidates." said Representative
Hompe. "No names for governor were
proposed to-day, but l think the con-
vention will make straight nomina-
ton. By the way" he resumed, 1.-The
means great deal. There are counties,
of course, where they are not so strong,
but in such they can rely upon the sup
port of the Knights of Labor. For illus
tratiOn, the latter have promised to
carry st. Louis county for US this fall.
They carried the spring election, and
thereby demonstrated their strength at
the polls. suppose you know that L
am the farmers alliance candidate for
state senator from my district, and L
think that means an election"
mo, sir; l am not candidate for
governor" exclaimed President Hall
with JUNCTION. sit would tend to weaken
the alliance, and l owe it my first allie
glance. But we have an abundance of
material from which to choose. and
whoever heads our ticket will be a
strong and clean man. Gov. Merriam
has given us fair administration, and
he advocated many of our vital prin-
ciples in his speech before the alliance
last March, but dispite all his or any
nominate a state ticket. 1t is
question of principle-nothing more
nor less. We must nominate man
that the farmers know represent their
Interests regardless of politics. Of
course, 1t is we'll known to everybody,
the Democratic platform approaches
nearest to ours, as adopted in March.
We are practically agreed upon the
tariff issue. One of our main objects is
to secure better railroad legislation.
We want these institutions controlled
by the government, and it is bound to
come to that ultimately. The alliance
movement is even stronger IN some
other states than in Minnesota, and
when l say that we will have at least
10000 members by election time, you
can conceive what that means. 1t
means the birth of new dominant
party. 1t must be so. We cannot get
Justice in any other way-not from any
other party"

to close off all possible escape
of the fresh air. The news of the ex.
plOSion spread rapidly to all the works
in the region. On all the incoming
trains visitors commenced to pour into
Dunbar. Many mine bosses and SUPER

The explosion was one of the most
disastrous and deadly in the history Of

disaster in 1888, twenty-three men lost
their lives. AT Col. j. NJ. Reeds works.
at this place, two years earlier, five3
men were killed at the Youngstown
works. A year later fourteen liveS1
were lost. This latest calamity has u1N
nerved the community and the in-s
habitantS are wild with excitemenkj
Thousands of people gathered at the
mouth of the mines this afternoon.
Among them were the parents, wives,
children and sweethearts of the unfor.
tunateS, and a strong guard of police
was necessary to prevent many of them,
mad with anguish, from rushing into
the horror, stood illy-clad and sore
footed, lulling to sleep their babes III

cried aloud for their boys. while
children from eight to fifteen years Of
age hurried about. looking into the
blackened faces of the escaped miners
in the hope of finding their fathers OK
brothers. Their suffering was pitiable,
and while the authorities of the COM
pany were exerting all their energies
To Recover the Bodies.
The total absence Of information re-

made their distress more severe, and

Text of the Platform Adopted BY
the Farmers Alliance.

Ol IIl0 T1uOPUOO 10y
the Farmers Alliance.
The platform adopted at the March
convention declaresi
First-In favor of maintaining a sys-
tenn of free shipment of grain from
sidetracks, and that the right to con-
struct warehouses. without regard to
capacity, contiguous to railway tracks
at all local stations, must not be
abridged. This is essential to an open
market, and any attempt to limit their
number or control them by either state
or railway regulations limits the num-
ber of dealers and therefore destroys
a fair market.
Second-That option gambling on
boards of trrde should be abolished by
legislative and congressional enact
ment.
Third-That all forms of discrimina-
tiOn, including passes, transit rights
and discrimination in terminal charges,
must cease. The smallest villages
must have the use of the tracks on the
same terms conceded to the larger
cities.
Fourth-That in the adjustment of a
schedule of rates for this state we be-
lieve the railroad commission should be
guided mainly by the schedule now in
vogue in Iowa. But If the interstate
railways leading to Chicago shall make
a less rate than the Iowa rates, we de-
mand that the rates to Duluth shall be
no greater per ton per mile than the
rate per ton per mile to Chicago, rea-
sonable terminal and transfer charges
being added.
Fifth-Railway property should be
taxed as other property is taxed, and we
demand that it pay its just proportion
of all state, county and other local
taxes.
Sixth-We are opposed to the passage
of the bill in congress for the relief of
the Union and Central Pacific railroads,
and urge congress to insist upon these
roads complying with their obligations.
| The proposition to extend the time of
payment fifty years and to reduce the
| interest on the Union Pacific bonds
from to per cent; Central Pacific
bonds, now due, bearing 115 per cent,
| to be paid in 125 years, we denounce as
an outrage upon the people of this
| country.
Seventh-Thatwe protest against any
| impairment of the force and vigor of
| the interstate commerce law, and that
we especially protest against the repeal
| of that part of the law which prohibits
| pooling, discrimination and the oharg-
| ing more for short than long haul.
Eighth-That we demand that the
next legislature shall pass law fixing
the rate of transportation upon the rail

MURDERED AND MUTILATED.
A Chinese Laundryman Slain by
COmpatriOts.

New YORK, June 16-Chin Que Yune,
who had a laundry at 1913 Second ave-
nue., was found dead in his bed at the
laundry, at II a. m. to-day, murdered.
His skull was crushed in and his face
battered beyond recognition. Evidently
the murder was committed by a blnnt
instrument while the Chinaman slept.
He was last seen alive at 80 a. m. by a
man named Phillips, who was on his
way to work. About II o'clock a
brother of the murdered man went to
the laundry, and not being able to get
in, became alarmed, and found a
carpenter to break open the place.
They entered at the rear and found the
murdered man as described. The po-
lice have under arrest Hong Lee Joy, a
helper in. the laundry, and Chin One
Hee. Both prisoners deny any know
ledge of the murder or its cause. The
police are undecided as to whether the
murder was committed for the sake of
plunder, OF that it was the work of
highbinders. They think, however,
that Joy is the murderer.
