treasury fight is the all absorbing matter
before tho Farmers alliance and lis kindred
organizations THIS morning, and it seems
very little nearer solution than when the
conference first began. The anti-sub- treas
ury men are active and aggressive, while
the sub treasury people have been placed to
large extent on the defensive. Last night
a committee of the supreme council INST the
executive committee of the anti-sub- treas
ury people and agreed TO report to tho coun-
Gil that it hear Mr.. Eeamans make the pro-
test at public meeting this evenng. soon

! the anti-sub- treasury element, SAID that this
committee wos ready to report
instantly there was disturbance. Every
one present not entitled to vote in executive
session was obliged to leave the hall When
the doors had been closed Col Livingstone
read tho commentator of the committee
that DIR. W. Pope Neamans, author of the
antl-sub treasury protest should have IL
hearing. An acrimonious discussion began
which lasted some time. About II 80
O'Clock IA communication was sont to tho
anti-sub- treasury people demanding that

copy OF the protest which they desired to

mitteo was only empowered through Mr.
1eemans to present the protest and until
Mr.. Noamans could be heard by the supreme
council tho latter body would necessarily be
deprived of the pleasure of readin. the pro-
test.
