THE ALLIANCE.
Otsruption of tho Kansas Branch of the
 Order Threatened.

Order Threatened.
 TOPEKA, Kas., September 27.-Thcre promises to be disruption in the Farm. sr's Alliance in this State. Just now com plaint is being made over an assessment of D cents per capita of Alliance members throughout the State, levied to carry on the campaign for the Peoples party ticket.
 The Alliance, as unit, has never gone lnto the Peoples party movement, but a large proportion of the Alliance member ship remains in affiliation with the Repub- ican and Democratic parties, opposed to independent political action on the part of ihe Alliance, while yet sympathizing with he Alliance so far as its demands for the protection of the farming and agricultural interests go.
 When the Alliance, as an organ nation, resolved to support peoples party ticket, many of these Alliance men drew out from | entirely, while others remained in, but ieclared their intention to vote as they pleased. But now the assessment of all members to carry on tho Peoples party campaign has precipitated war in the Alliance ranks, which threatens to disrupt !he organization in many localities. It is earned that the five alliances in Shawnee County have resolved in their meetings to refuse to pay the per capita assessment, .hus putting themselves in position of rebellion against the State Alliance, which evied the assessment.
 It is believed that many alliances throughout the State will take the same position.

BIRcHALL CONVICTED.
Tho End of the Famous Canadian
 Criminal Trial.

WOODSTOCK, Ont, September 30.--The ,ourt room was crowded yesterday morn ing at the opening of the Birchall trial. The interest of the public has steadily in- ,reased since tho opening day. Mrs. Birch all was present, accompanied by her sister, Mrs. West-Jones.
 Amoug those in the court room this norning were: A. Bissonne,t, High Con- stable of Montreal; Chief of Police Mo- Kinnon, of Hamilton, and many other police officials from outside Preliminary to the speeches this morning some evidence was taken.
 Mir. Blackstock. counsel for prisoner, spoke at length in his defense.
 Mir. Osler spoke for the Crown, making Q strong argument.
 His Lordship began his address at : :SS, and in opening remarked that they were now drawing to the close of grave and important case.
 The Judge then reviewed the evidence given by the witnesses for the Crown and said: The theory of the Grown is that the prisoner murdered Bcnwell in this swamp on Monday. If he did not murder him on that day, then he is not guilty of this crime, because that is the only day he was in that locality.
 The jury retired at e:53 D. m., and were waiting with their verdict when the Judge arrived in the court room at Il :25 p. m. Be- fore the prisoner was removed he called Detective Murray to his side and said he was sorry for what his counsel had sald against him, and he wished to say that he had been treated with tho greatest con- sideration by that officer.
 At Il 2s the Judge took his scat on the bench again. The counsel soon put in their appearance, and the vast audience was as still as death for several minutes awaiting the arrival of the prisoner, whose life now hung in tho balance. Tho prisoner Twas brought into court haudcuffcd at II AS looking pale and nervous. As soon as he arrived the jury were asked if they had agreed upon verdict, and replied: "We have.'
 What is your verdicti' asked Judge McMahon.
 Guilty" the foreman replied.
 When asked if he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon him, Birchall replied: sSimply, am not guilty of murder.n
 Tho Judge then said: .I fully concur with tho verdict of the jury" and pro ceedod to pronounce sentence, which was that Birchall be taken to th iail and ho tween the hours of s Il. m. and C p. LII. on Friday. the l4th day of November, be hanged by the neck until dead

BIG FIRE AT CHICAGO
Three Quarters of . Million Loss--. The Fierce Biase Which Water Gould Not Coatrol---T The Loss Gov.
 cred by Insurance.

CnIcAao, ILL, September 29.--Fowler Bros Packing House at the stock yards was damaged by fire this morning to the amount of $100.00O. The fire originated at 1 80 o'clock in the morning in the packing. room, or the engineer room adjoining. It is not known definitely which, and no cause assigned for the fire.
 The firemen worked against obstacles from the start. Water had little effect on the grease soaked noors, and the fire soon reached the tank room, where 3a tanks of lard were located. These exploded one after another with loud reports and the boiling lard fed the flames more fiercely. The heat was 30 intense that the fircmcn were compelled to work at a distance and it was seen to be worse than useless to throw water into the hissing and seethine furnace. The packing room Is about l50x l5o feet and the whole interior was blazing when the firemen reached the scene in re- sponsc to the first alarm. The flames spread to the cooling room adjoining and commenced burning tho carcasses of the hogs hanging there. In the room were 6,6s9 hogs freesing, and they burned like oil. Water was useless In fighting tho fire and it seemed that nothing could be done to stop tho contagration.
 Tho entire series of buildings was under one roof and surrounded by a high wall. This kept the sight seers at . distance and few policemen were able to keep everyone out Thousands were on the scene during the day, but they could see nothing and did not finger round long. The interior oi the building was of wool and very infam. mab'e. The cooling rooui, where the freshly slaughtered hogs wcre hanging, was lined with sawdust, similar to an ice box. This hindercd the fircmen in work. ing. About i, 200 men and 100 girls were employed by the company. The iosssis entirely covered by insurance, mostly in foreign companies. Tho plant was insured for Sl, 5o0, ,0o1.
