TIE ALLIANCE FOR INGALLS,.
Col. Polk Said to be Using Ills Influence for
the Rlbid senator.

WASHINGTON, Nov. :,G.---It is learned
from prominent republican politician of
Kansas now in this city that Colonel l.. l..
Polk. the head of the Farmers Alliance,
has been throwing his influence in favor
of the reelection of ingalls, to the Sen
ate At first it is said that Polk promised
to do what he could for PETER. the editor
of the Kansas Farmer, bur now it is
charged that he is advising by letter
many of the Alliance members of the
Legislature to vote for ingalls,.
Ii this is true. it speaks badly for the
Southern man that Colonel Polk Processes
To he. rs ingalls, is about rs rank an
enemy of the South a can be found in
public life, and the earnest hope OF that
section is that he may lie defeated.
The Kansas alliances have been con-
tending that they were tired OF having
the bloody shirt waved, when there should
he peace between the sections, and the cry
in the campaign recently closed was for Il
close union between the West and the
South in order that the interests Of the
farmers might be advanced, since there is
nothing to be gained by allowing Penn
sylyania, New England, and Ohio to die
tate the policy of the government.

IMPORTANT NEWS.
1t IL Almost Certain that Hon. "A. =.
Hewitt Will Move His Steel Plant Here
and that the G., c. d G. Il. Il.
vii Come, Too.

From late information it seems that the
removal Of the Hewitt-Coopcr steel plant
to Biz Stone Gap and the early construc-
ton of the c., C. & c. railroad arc assured
facts. An importent conference will be
held in New York to-day or tomorrow
between several directors of the Big Stone
Gap Improvement Company, Mr.. Lciscn-
ring and Mr.. Hewitt, at which it is be-
lcvcd whatever difficulties that now stand
in the way of transferring the great steel
plant to this place will be remcded. Mr..
Hewitt was expected here this week, but
he has not been well and his visit is post
poncd for the present. But he has been
at Big Stone Gap and is thoroughly ia
miliar with its resources and advantages.
He has about made up his mind to remove
his plant here, and with it will come about
1000 workmen, with their families. The
contamination of this transfer will prove
Of incalculablc value to the Gap and the
surrounding country. Mr.. Hewitt stands
at the head of the great steel makers Of
this country, and is known by the iron
manufacturers of the world as an eminent
and sagacious business man. The sclec-
ton of Big Stone Gap as the base Of his
future business will therefore have great
influence in attracting capital from all
parts of the North, West and from Europe.
The indirect advantages of having him
here would be even greater than those
that would directly result.
Then il seems quite certain that the
c., c. u c. railroad will he pushed forward
to completion and that Big Stone Gap will
he its terminus for time.
There is also much encouraging news in
regard to the Interstate Tunnel. 4
prominent gentleman, who is in position TO
know all the steps taken in the matter,
saws it is almost certain that the project
will he pushed forward.
What effect the scarcity of money in the
East may have upon these movements
cannot be well asccrtaincd, but it is quite
certain that it will have no effect upon
Mr.. lIcwitt's plans.
