 Assaulted Mrs. Bcerman.
 FAIRvIrw, N. J., Dec. 12.-The mystery attending the murderous assault on Mrs. beerman remains unsolved and her as- sailant is still at large.
 The injured woman was unconscious most of the day, but at times rallied aIter she had slept under the influence of op1ates. During her delirium she moaned loudly and said: "Why do you hit me1, and called out for her assailant to have mercy on her.
 The local police and District Attorney sCampbeuPs officers have been reinforced by two of Inspector Brynes' officers, and the latter went to Guttenburg race-course to ind clues by which to track the scoun- who Perpetrated the outrage. They have abandoned the idea that the assault was committed with the intent to rob their victim, as her pocketbook and diamond earrings were found in her possession. They incline to the belief that the as- sailant's object was @ more outrageous one.
 The police have followed and oues- tioned several suspicious persons, but none of them were held. Chief of Police Schwartz, of Union Township, found a man who gave 8 minute description of the assault, and stated that the woman was struck three times This is corrobo- rated by the injuries found by the doctors.

WILL FORGE SUPPORT.

 Who Do Not Comply With Their Terms.
 SANFORD, Fla, Dec. 12-President Polk of the National. Farmers Alliance, has named Friday, Feb. 6, 1891, and Wash ington, D. O., as the place of holding the first meeting of the National Legislative Council, which is composed of the nat tional president and, the presidents of all the State Alliances. f~5 @
 An important piece of action taken during the closing moments of the late convention has just come out. It was the adoption of resolution with reference to the support of all Alliances. The policy of the Alliance will be to withhold all support from newspapers which dc not conduct Alliance departments or at least publish Alliance news regularly. It amounts to an absolute boycott of all newspapers which do not come up to the terms of the resolution. = .,f'

Senators Discussing the Finan.

Possibility of a Measure Being Agreed
 Upon To-Day.

Action Of the House COmmittee-Talk of
 Additional LegIsIatIon for National
 Banks - Pennsylvania's War CIaims-
 The Fertilization Appropriations Bul
 Passsd-Return of Mrs. Harrison.
 WASHINGTON. Dec. 12-The special Sem ate committee of eleven, appointed at the Republican caucus to consider some measure of relief for the existing finan- cial situation, hold their first meeting to- day.
 The original proposition for a commit tee of this character came from Senator Plumb, whose caucus resolution contem- plated @ majority of seven. MT. Hiscock of New York offered a substitute fixing the number at eleven, to be composed of the six members of the Finance Commit tee, Messrs. Morrill,, Aldrich, Sherman, HiseOck, Allison and Jones, and five oth- CTS to be selected by MT. Edmunds, the chairman of the caucus. This suggestion was apparently more in harmony with the spirit of the meeting than the propo- sition advanced by Mir. Plumb, and it was accordingly adopted.
 The five additional, or advisory, mem- bers are Messrs. Plumb, Mitchell, McMil- Ian, Hale and Power. Its personnel em- braces such pronounced silver men as Plumb, Jones, Mitchell and Power. The anti-silver men, as the representatives of the Eastern thought upon the subject may be termed, are Aldrich, Sherman, Hiscock and Merrill. The balancs be- tween these opposing factions is very evenly maintained in the persons of Messrs. Allison, Hale and McMillan, who are known. for want of a better term, as moderate silver men.
 No one will predict to-day what con- clusion the. committee will reach. The conservatives will claim that there is no need of legislation by Congress to relieve the financial situation.
 It is possible that 8 plan may be ma tured at to-day's meeting, but this is un- likely. Should the committee come to some agreement between now and Mon day another Republican caucus will be held that evening to secure full party opinion upon it.
