lime to Stop.

fUS " otcP
1t is time to stop the disorder at
public meetings in this place. This
is a practice that has been growing
for some time, and it ought TO be
stopped short without further cere-
monv. The behavior at the com
mencement exercises in College Hall
last Friday night was extremely NOR
tifying. Loud talking ana whisper
ing, rude applause, catcalls and SO on,
on the part of ill-behaved and I'M
mannerly persons, prevented all en-
iovment of the exercises by lsdiesand
gentlemen present. At another en-
tertainment recently there was the
most disorderly conduct on the out
side of the building, and about the
windows, AS before stated, this is a
vicious habit that needs TO be at once
shut down on. Respectable persons
will refuse to attend entertainments
in the future if the hoodlums are not
restrained.

A Split in the Farmers Alliance on the
Sub-Treasury Question.

A Split in the Farmers Alliance on the
sub-Treasury Question.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, June 25.-A Jack
son, Miss, special to the Times Union
gives some interesting gossip about ma
tional Farmers Alliance matters. 1t
SAYS that since the nomination of the
legislative committee, headed by Presi-
dent Hall, of the Missouri Alliance, last
February, Hall has been working vigor-
ously against the sub-treasury scheme
and with his coadjutors has succeeded in
organizing movement covering the en-
tire southern states, as is shown by the
call for meeting of the Anti-Sub-treas-
ury league at Dallas, Texas, in July
next.
Within the last month President Polk
advised Hall to desist or resign from the
committee. He was given until June
25 to reply. 1t is believed that this is
decisive stroke to Illustrate the objects
of the Anti-SubTreasury league and the
influence of less intrepid opponents of
the measure than Hall, and to steer
clear of the Dallas meeting Those who
know Hall assert that he will decline to
be coerced, and the result will be split
in the National alliance.

Associated Press Dispatches.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The navy de-
partment has received a report from
Admiral McCann, on board the flagship
Baltimore, dated Iquique, Chile, May
25th, saying: "There have been no
military or navy operations of import
ance in the northern provinces recently.
The English admiral, Botham, informed
me that all of the revolutionary
squadron have gone north from
Caldera and that only 700 or 800 men
were left to garrison Caldera and
Copiapo. Since the loss of the Blanco
Encalada, most of the insurgent forces
are concentrating about the nitrate
ports. The only efficient vessels re-
manning to the insurgents are the Huas-
car, Esmeralda and Almirante Coch-
rane; the remainder is made up of a
few old gunboats, the broken down and
worn out remains of the Chilean navy.
There is, therefore, little or no prob
ability of demonstration by water
against Valparaiso, or other south
ern ports by the revolutionary
feet, but, on the contrary, the
government torpedo cruisers Almirante
Lynch and Almirante Condell and the
armed transport Imperiale keep the in
surgent vessels in motion, and the
nitrate ports in constant state OF alarm
by threatened attack. On the 10th one
of the revolutionists' torpedo launches
was accidentally blown up by its own
torpedo, and sank Immediately, drown
ing two and mortally wounding four
of her crew OF eight men. The
Condell attacked Taltal on the 2lst,
burning the government buildings
and custom house; on the 25th the
Cochrane, the Magellanes and the Anna
zonas left Iquique, and stood to the
southwark, to protect that locality. The
speed of the Condell and Imperiale is
such that they easily elude pursuit, and
may turn up most unexpectedly at any
port"

Morgan, of the Indian bureau, received
a telegram from Superintendent Collins,
of the Moqui Pueblo Indian school in
Keene canon, Arizona, in which he
stated that the Indians were threaten
ing to kill the whites and to forcibly
take their children from school, and he
asks that military reinforcements be

The commissioner referred the tele-
gram to the war department with the
recommendation that additional rein

arrested and held, pending the settle
ment of the difficulty. The present

the Indians are opposed to having their
