70 the State Crop StatlstlCians OF the National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial UnlOn

To the State Crop StatlstlClanS OF the National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union;
DEAR BROTHERs-Int transmitting blank
forms for your May reports as to
acreage Of farm products, feel that
can not too earnestly impress upon you
and the fraternity the fact that hitherto
spectators and stock exchanges have 30
manipulated the reports Of both Federal
and State agricultural statistlclans as TO
make them false, and instruments sub
servient to their own selfish gain, and
have thus been enabled TO sell and realize
immense profits on our crops even before
planting or maturity. BY such undue
advantages, milliOnalres have become
common, whilst the farmers, robbed Of
their just prices, have grown poorer and
poorer yearly, their farms becoming 80
heavily moTtgaged as 10 soon pass from
their possession. Thus farm products
are fast becoming appropriated by the
operations of spectators, and unless this
tendency shall be checked, the next gen
Grafton Of farmers will be a generation Of
tenants at-will.
Under such serious and impending
conditions IL Is evident that in full de-
velopment Of our strength and fearless
enforcement of those true and patriotic
principles found In the announced teach
ngs and cherished doctrines Of the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union,
lies the prosperity and financial safety Of
the productive classes of our common
country, who have 80 long borne the op-
presssons Of reckless spectators, soulless
corporations, and unjust Legislation,
We can hope TO reach our desired and
wholesome results only through the vital
and harmonious efforts of every member
of our brotherhood In all of It's depart
ments.
TO efficiently utilize the full force and
effect of our unity, It is essential that
every member be thoroughly enlightened
with accurate knowledge Of the erteat and
amount QfOur JeddiRg farm products, such
as cotton, tobacco, corn, wheat, etc, as
well as to have a clear conception Of our
natural and legal rights under Che spirit
and language Of the organic law Of our
Government, and TO obtain such informa-
tion as to farming statistics In reliable
form we must depend upon such re-
sources as are within our organization.
The Supreme Council at the 81. Louis
meeting entertaining such views, enacted
sections II and 1S of the statutory laws,
hereto appended, making II part Of my
duty as Secretary Of the National Execu-
tive Board to make such crop reports to
the President as he may require, and In
DtvrouanCn ~ tha Iutiao Nh,u inpOoad 4
have recently prepared and issued a cir
cular letter setting forth in general terms
the character ofth reports expected from
State statlsticians, and now, in further
discharge of my duties, have prepared
such blank forms as are deemed necessa-
ry for the reports Of state, county and
sub-union statisticians.
Fratemally yours, -

c. N. B. & w.

The railroad commissioners filed their report last Saturday concerning their spring examination of the Central New England & Western road They found the track and bridges in good condition. Some additional filling is needed on the Pennington meadows where the en- bankments join the piling. Especially is this true of the west end of the mid dle embankment. The use of heavy consolidated engines on light rail, with frequent short, sharp curves renders it necessary that such curves should be we'll braced with iron rail braces; also the increased weight of equipment and the heavy tonnage of freight ca1s, requires more ties, spaced closer than formerly, and that they be we'll main- tained The company has provided for heavier traffic on their bridges and the same considerations which prompted that step will ultimately require 8 heavier rail and more solid roadbed. The Chapinville trestle IS to be filled this season, leaving only an opening of thirty feet in the embankment as a waterway.

FOUND A WATERY GRAVE
Terrible Accident to a Sunday
 Fishing Party.
SEVEN MEN WERE DROWNED.

One by One They Released Their Hold Upon the Overturned Boat and Sank Beneath the Waves of Boston Harbor. But One Man Was Saved.
 BOSTON, June 9-A sailboat with eight young men on board was capsized in the waters of Dorchester, Sunday, and seven of the eight lost their lives before aid could reach them. The names of those drowned are:
 The Names of the Drowned.
 James Husband, aged IS.
 Albert Lombard, aged 25.
 Edgar Maloney, aged g.
 Lawrence McTiernan, aged 2s.
 John Sullivan, aged 2s.
 John P. Troy, aged IS.
 Joseph Tufts, aged 21.
 The Boat Was Overturned.
 The only survivor of the accident is Wal ter Quinlan. He was found unconscious, but clinging to the boat. All were resi- dents of South Boston and all unmarried except McTiernan, who leaves a widow and an 11-months-old child.
 The party set sail at 3 a. m., intending to make a voyage about the bay and put in at Squantum for dinner. At 3:45 the boat was about 8 mile off Thompson's Island. A heavy squall caused the sail to jibe; the tiller became jammed and the boat quickly upset.
 The Boat Sank and Rose.
 With the exception of Lombard every member of the party could swim, and all managed to regain the boat, but the boat, only twenty feet in length and shallow, soon filled with water under the weight of the eight men. As it sank the seven swim mers released their holds, but as the boat slowly came to the surface all took hold again. This was repeated several times At last Maloney attempted to swim to the shore for help, but he had not gone half mile when his companions saw him throw up both hands and disappear beneath the waters.
 But One Was Alive.
 At last a watchman on South Boston pier sighted the upturned boat and re- ported it to James and Edward Clark, two brothers, one of whom had saved several men from drowning. They put off from shore, but when they reached the upturned boat there was only one man clinging to it and he half frozen, wholly exhausted and unconscious. The others had one by one been overcome. Quinlan was taken to the shore, resuscitated and from him was ob- tained the story of the accident.
 Desperate Struggle for Life.
 Quinlan says that one of his companions, he doesn't know who, clung to his leg, but he himself was too weak to even reach 8 hand to him, and he soon dropped of. Two besides himself clung to the boat, and just how long they fought the chill waves Quin- Ian cannot tell, but it was fully an hour Inst hefOra tha C1arks roacbad fho 0var- turned boat Quinlan's two companions re- faxed their hold and dropped into the sea. The sole survivor was apparently dead when the Clark brothers reached him, but by the time they reached their home signs of life were visible in the half drowned youth. Two of the bodies have been re- c0vered
