INDIANAPOLIS, Nov Is The first session
of the supreme council Of the Alliance
was held in Tomlinsoa hall yesterday
morning. where the delegates were well
welcomed by Mayor Sullivan in a few
well timed remarks j. +. Tiilman, rnenI-
Der of the executive committee, was then
introduced and addressed the delegates.
He referred to the fact that this was the
first meeting of the National Alliance on
northern soil, and spoke of the growth of
the organization and the demands which
it had formulated in the conventions He
referred to the legislation of the past
twenty-five years as destructive of the
farmers interest and was especially Wig
orous in his denunoation Of the "billion
dollar congress. the tariff and the trusts.
In Which They Slightly Differ.
His denunciation of trusts hardly
agreed with the remark made by an edi-
tor of the Reform Press association, who
said during &C conversation that "this thing
of trusts depends on who the trust is" In
which connection may be stated the
charges that are being made regarding

The Curious Case q: u Youthful Murderer
in Ei .iand.
LONDON. Nov 10 AT the inquest yes
terday over the remains of Lawrence
Salter, IA years of age. an apprentice on
board ii. N. training ship Boscawen.
who was killed Monday at Weymouth by
being pushed over the cliffs facing the
sea by auot ler apprentice named John
Wise, Is year. of age, belonging to the
same ship, tie jury rendered a verdict of
willful murder against Wise. This case is
attracting unusual attention from the
fact that Wise seems to be fiend in
human form who delights in murder, and
Is pleased at the prospect of being hanged;
and also because the young criminal,
claiming to be of American pareutage. as
serts that he has previously murdered
another boy by drowning him. Wise in
telling of the manner in which he had
Killed Salter. laughed heartily and re-
marked that larry squirmed lovely
Probably HON cidai Maniac.
Later Wise said that he drowned the
other boy he had Murdered by pushing
him into the water and holding him
there until drowned. The body. he added
had f1oated away, and he (Wise) said that
he had felt ever since that he must kill
somebody on land so that the finding OF
the body would prove that the story he
told was true. Wise in conclusion said
that he had nothing against Salter, but
that Monday was the first favorable op-
portunity he had had of committing an
other murder, and that he embraced it as
the only way Of getting hanged, Wise,
who is supposed to be suffering from
homicidal mania, is being examined by

ADDRESS BY PRESIDENT POLK.
He Recites the Demands That the Farm
ers Are Making.

He Recites the Demands That the Farm
Are Making.
The welcoming addresses and re-
sponses, with sundry caucuses, was about
all the business transacted during the
day. At night a meeting was held at
which President Polk delivered his an
nual address. He began by calling atten-
tion to the grave responsibilities which
rest upon the members of the supreme
council, and predicting glorious results
IL the power of the Alliance was wisely
directed. The speaker. after presenting
an argument showing discrimination
against the agricultural classes, proceeded
to state their demands, saying:
We demand governmental control of trans
portation; we demand the retention of our
public domain for the use of our own people;
we demand the prohibition of gambling in fu-
lures of agricultural and mechanical pro-
ducts.
Free Coinage of the White Metal
We demand sthe free coinage of silver; we
demand that no class or interest shall be taxed
TO build up any other class or interest; we de-
mand the cleo ion of United States senators by
the direct vote Of the people; we demand q
graduated tax on incomes: but, more import
ant than all these, broader and deeper than all
these, the first of all these, is the transcenden-
tally paramount demand that our national
bank system be abolished and that the peo-
pies money shall be issued TO the people direct
by the government at a low rate of interest
and in sufficient volume to meet the require
ments of our growing population and trade.
The supreme Issue stated.
The supreme issue before the American peo-
pie is and must be financial reform These
powers and functions designed by the franz
ers of our consti utiOn for the benefit of the
people, and which have been steadily usurped
listic combinations, must be restored to
the people, to whom they rightfully belong
This can be done only through persistent eff
fort, answering fidelity to principle and har-
monious united action.
The Third Party Sentiment.
The third party sentiment is believed to
be growing in the Alliance, and an incident
occurred yesterday which is construed to
mean that Secretary Tillman has fallen a
victim to the prevalent contagion. He
came here with his address already printed,
and 1t contained a caustic review of the
third party movement, but when he deliv-
cred his address he omitted that part
of it.
Opposing the sub-Treasury Scheme.
w. g. NcAfister, of Mississippi, chair
man of the national executive committee
of the ami su b-treasury Alliance, arrived
yesterday with another delegation to de-
mand change in the policy OF the AlIi-
ance on this subject. In speaking of his
mission last night he was very emphatic
in denouneiPg she sub treasury scheme.
