SULLIYAN-JACKS0N MILL
DECLARED CERTAIN TO TAKE
PLACE IN VIRGINIA.
How Reed Packed the Coinage Commits
tee-The Senate silver Bill Reported To
the House-Congression Proceedings
and Other Washington News.

II is given ont in a semi-authOritatiye way
that the sulliyan-Jackson mill will GER
tainly take place in Virginia. AS the news
dispatches show Sullivan has escaped from
the Mississippi authorities on the payment
of fine, and it is stated here that the ar
rangement for the fight was made on the
condition that Sullivan got free in Missis-
sippi, it is said that the organization char
tered by the last Virginia Legislature has
contracted for the purchase Of the Gentle
mems Driving Park, near Alexandria, and
that. preliminary 10 the great fight, the
grounds will be handsomely fitted up. The
managers Of this organization claim that
under their charter no officers can interfere,
and that the club would make pie Of
money ont Of the fight.
REED AND THE SILVER BILL.
1t required no spirit Of prophecy 10 fore
tell what the House Coinage Committee
would do with the silver bill. That com-
mittee was packed by Speaker Reed against
silver, and that accounts for the Speakers
strenuous efforts tO refer the senate bill 10
that committee. He knew the committee
would obey his instructions literally; nor
has he been disappointed. Speaker Reed
has interviewed the free-c0nage Republi-
cans seyeraly and individually and has sue
ceeded in impressng them with whole
some fear of the Speakers power. IL now
seems clear that under the Speakers orders.
The House will nOn-cOncur i'm the Senate
amendments, and ask conference. The
House cOnfcrccs under Reeds orders viii
stand out against free coinage. and the III
dicatiOns are that they Will refuse 10 pass
any bill unless the Senate shall recede from
free coinage.
THE GEORGIA FARMERS AROUSED.
The Farmers Alliance are making a big
tight In capture the state Of Georgia. The
setback they got i'm Alabama when kOlb
was showed under seems 10 have had the
eilect.Of causing them 10 rcdOublc their ef-
forts 10 capture the Southern Empire state
she Democratic fortress Of the South At
lant.c tier of States. NOrthen, the Alliance
candidate for Governor. is sure to defeat
Tom Iardeman. the politician, and a self
nominated candidate for Governor. In
one or two counties that have so
far selected delegates 10 the state con-
yentiOn 10 meet on August /, NOrthen
has knocked lia rdcman out IN some cases
bv a vote OF five 10 one. The latest county
that acted on last Saturday gave NOrlhen
majority Of eight to one. 1t will lie reg
ular slam when il corners its governor ana
states officers, and the only hope Of the
politicians and the unannOinted is TO save
the congressional seats. There are ten
of these. and two members, Carleton
and Gambler, have declined reelection.
These districts are certain 10 return Ali
ance members, and a hot fight Will be made
to unseat Stewart. of the Atlanta district;
Barnes. of Augusta; Clements. of the Rome
districts: and Grimes, of Columbus. The
headquarters of the Alliance order for the
South Atlantic States is at Atlanta. and II
is reported that every prominent man in the
order, the president, the State lecturers,
every one. save the secretary, is after a
slice of official usufruct.
