corning His Action at the Ocala
Convention.

NASHVILLE, TENN, Dec. 1s.-Hon.
F.. WADE, secretary OF the state Demo-
cratic executive committee, and holding
similar position In the State Farmers
Alliance, who was delegate to the Ocala
Ella convention, said here to-da7 in
an interview With an American reporter
that he had been grossly and unjustly
misrepresepted in the dispatches from
Oeala in regard to the alleged resolution
binding every -mber of the Alliance to
subscribe to the platform OF the order
and support no man for office who
does not subscribe to these principles.
he says no such resolution was offered
by himself or any other delegate to that
convention. This report has created q
great Interchange between Democrats
and Alliance men of this and adjoining
states. Mr.. Wade SAYS: So far as my
individualities are concerned, they
amount to but little, but as have been
placed before the country in false atti-
tude and the press generally have Sc
lected me as a target, 1 deem ii due my
self 10 say that my views have UNDER
gone no change relative to the demands
to the Alliance. l am not in favor of
the sub-treasury bill Of the government,

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Dec. 1S.-Re-
ports received from the Marathon and
Alpine districts northwest of here on the
Southern Pacific road say that the cattle
industry has been unusually prosperous
in the past season, but the ranchmen ara
now sending out as many as the railway
can handle. They are all destiued for
Chicago, and there are fears that the
market will be gIutted. The reason fo-
the wholesale shipment is dread of q
severe winter and consequent loss. The

Casualties at Sea,

New YORK, Oct. 31.-The captain of
the steamer Humboldt, from South Amer
ican ports, which arrived here today, re-
ports that at 6 o'clock this morning six
miles east Of Barnegat, he sighted wreck
and bore down to it. The wrecked vessel
proved to be the steamer Vizcaya, which
sailed yesterday for Havana. He saw
several persons in the rigging and sent a
boat to their rescue. The chief, second
officer, surgeon, one engineer and eight
of the crew were taken off and brought
here.
The persons rescued state that on the
evening of the 30th inst, at 8 O'clock, the
steamer was run into by four-masted
coal-laden schooner, supposed to be
bound to the northward. Both vessels
sank within five minutes. One colored
boy was taken ashore by the schOoner's
boat and landed at Barnegat. Capt
Cumill of the Vizcaya was drowned, as
we're also part Of her crew, in all about
81 persons. Four passengers of the Viz
caya were all lost. They were Cuban
millionaire, his wife and two children
The captain and crew of the schooner
are supposed to be lost. The survivors
are unable to give the particulars of the
| collision or its cause.

The French win Reta,iate.

PARIS, Nov. 1.-The new French tariff
bill, which is now before the chamber Of
deputies, contains one striking feature,
which has heretofore reaped much no
tice. This is clause which gives to the
president aud cabinet full power to retail
late to as great an extent as they choose
upon articles exported to France by any
country which discriminates against
French products or in any way erects
barrier against French trade. This
clause is obviously modelled to meet the
American meat inspection bill, and is in
tended as the French answer to that
measure. The general tone of frances
press continues hostile to the adoption of
retalistory measures against the United
States, because OF the latter country's
tariff legislation. Instead Of speaking in
favor Of retaliation the papers urge that
mutual concessions be made by France
and the United States. They seem to
think that If the French government
makes considerable concessions it may
| gain reduction of American duties on
silks and wooden goods.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.--At 10:3h tonight
fire was discovered III the hold of the
new iron mallory steamship, Leona, which
had arrived this morning from Galveston,
Texas, with crew of 65 men and 16 pas
sengers and cargo OF $500 bales of cot
ton. The first and second officers, James
Riley and Henry l.. Carr, were alarmed
by the ringing of the fire bell and they
hurried the only females on board, Mrs.
Riley, wife of First Officer Riley, and
her two aughters ashore and took them
to the United States hotel. Seven fire
engines pumped water into the burning
hold, which was raging like furnace.
At midnight it was decided to scuttle the
burning vessel just where she was
berthed alongside the pier, as the fire
could not otherwise be controlled. 1t
was reported that one Of the crew vas
asleep on board the vessel, but this re-
/! port could not be confirmed.

TRAIN DELAYED,

A Wreck at Buforti Makes the Train
From the East Ten Hours Late.
The west bound train yesterday did not
arrive until 10 o'clock last night. The
delay was caused by wreck at Buford.
A freight train sidetracked at that point
and backing in on the switch sent some
freight cars back on the main track. At
this time the west bound passenger
came along and collided with the
freight cars, resulting In considerable
damage. The passenger locomotive was
ditched, anu engineer Hoffman was
slightly injured, as was also a
passenger in the colonial sleeper. AL
though there was an unusually
large number of passengers, these were
the only persons injured. In neither
case are the injuries serious. The injur-
ed men were put of at Glasgow and the

Truce In the Rate War.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-Afternoon papers
say; According to agreement, Chicago
lines Interested In st. Paul business
stopped selling second-class passenger
tickets between these two points last
night. Whether this will hold good and
end the trouble heretofore existing at St.
Paul or not, is considered rather ques-
tionable proposition. It does not oblige
the 500 to stop cutting seaboard rates,
nor bind the Minneapolis u st. Louis to
maintain first-class tariff. Neither does
it stop the johnson Steamship line IN
any dealing in the st. Paul and Chicago
railroad fares.

Wood. sheep, corn, -four, fresh and sal,

The Austrian newspapers declare thai
the French government, in drafting the
bill, directly aimed at frustrating
all attempts toward closer com.
merciai relations between GERMANY
and Austria. Herr Won Boltticher,s
commission doubtless had some influence
upon the French tariff, and other influ.
ences are at work. Protests, chiefly from
agricultural interests, have been pouring
into Chancellerle against Zollveroin with
Austria. A letter from Count Nimberp
Stirum, conservative member ofUnternns
embodying the sentiments of his party,
was made public today. The writer warns
the government against sacrificing for
political considerations any of the es
sential economic interests of GERMANY.
and, In conclusion, says that an intisa,e
commercial treaty with Austria, instead
OF cement'nF would ultimately injure
the political alliance with that country.

CHICAGO, Oct. a. Reports have again
been put into circulation of important
negotiations in progress between the Bal
timore y Ohio and the Northern Pacific
railroads for an agreement offensive and
defensive, which, if consumated. will
practically amount TO consolidation
of the two systems. It Is SAID Y close
traffic contract has been drawn up and
agreed to by both roads covering both the
freight and passenger business. by its
terms each road will turn over to the
other all through business it receives des-
tined to points on the lines of its asso-
ciate ard through passenger cars of the
Baltimore q Ohio on their arrival
in Chicago will be switched of
to the Wisconsin Central tracks and car.
ried through to the Pacific coast without
change. East bound business originating
on the Northern Pacific railway and des-
tined for points on the Baltimore & Ohio
system will be treated in like manner On
its arrival here. Through cars on tho
Wisconsin Central will be switched of TO.
the Baltimore & Ohio SO that no change
of cars on the part of passengers will be
necessary.
The arrangements in fact will be very
similar to that now in operation between
the Chicago & Northwestern and the
Union Pacific railways.
This agreement involves the compile
tion of arrangements for the use of the
Northern Pacific terminals in this city bv
the B. 81 o. r.. r. 1t Is we'll known that
some such scheme for the formation of
great transcOntinenta route from sea-.

with Henry Willard of the Northern Pa

complish it for long time and now it
appears that he is about to see his great

consummation of this enterprise.

BALTIMORE, Oct, 3l.-It is stated here
that there is no foundation. for the re-

persons now living.
