Jerry simpsons Plans.

WASHINGTON, d. c., August 49,
Jerry Simpson has a new. idea. He
wants the:alliance congressman to stand
together on the organization of the
house, There are sixteen representa-
tives-elect who are straight out alli-
ance men. There are forty-two others
who are democrats. but who owe their
election to alliance votes. So Mr..
Simpson claims. He proposes to these
sixteen alliance men that they vote
together in caucus and invite the forty
two democrats who are representa-
tives by the grace of the alliance or
kindred organizations to join with them
in supporting a third party slate fol
the house officers.
T his appears to be good thing tc
Mr.. Simpson for several reasons. He
especially admires the opportunity to
test these democrats who have sailed
into congress with their sails set to the
alliance wind. Mr.. Simpsons idea has
taken such definite form as to sug-
gest the nominations for the third par
ty caucus. His ticket is Represents
tive John d. Otis Of Kansas. for speak
er, ex-Congressman and General Weav-
er of Iowa, for clerk of the house, John
W. Hall of Ohio, for sargeant-at-arms,

Russians q, ain UIkaaP

BERLIN, August 1S.-The ukase for
bidding the export from Russia Of rye
and rye meal of every kind and brand,
which was published in the official
journal at st. Petersburg yesterday,
has created an enormous sensation in
this city where it was complete sur
prise to the dealers in grain. The in
fluence OF the ukase was Immediately
felt in the markets. The effect was
generally to depress prices, although
values did not fall as low as it was ex &.
pected they would, as many of the lead
ing brokers had received secret advices
as to the probable PRONUNCIATION OF the
decree.
Herr Richter and the radical press
have seized the opportunity and this
morning the papers OF the radicals
German government to re-
some extent allow the substitution of
some other grain for rye, which is the
principle sustenance of the people OF
Germany.
One effect of the ukase has been to
raise the price of rye almost to the
price OF wheat.
Chancellor Won Caprivi is deaf to all
the appeals made to him to remove the
grain duties. 1t is understood that he
is resolved to stick to his guns until the
commercial treaties of Germany with
Austria-Hungary, Switzerland and

will not entertain any propositions
looking to abolition of the grain duties.
The full effects of the Russian meas.
ure will not be felt for several days.

any other country. A further. and

Hilliker Surrenders.

KANSAS CITY, Kan, Aug. l7.-Coun-
Gilman r. w. Hilliker of Kansas City.
Kan, for whom warrant was issued
yesterday charging him with malfeas.
ance in Office. this morning appeared
before Justice G. J. Hanks and gave
himself up.
Mr. Tiilliker was accompanied by his
attorneys, who at once moved that the
ahead not to interfere with the case
now pending in the court of common
pleas, wherein a motion to dissolve an
attachment issued against the Central
bank is being argued.
Justice Hanks set the hearing for
September I'd, and released the prisoner
upon his own recogniZance.
Mr. Hilliker was seen by reporter
this morning as he sat in court as a
prisoner. He stated that it was clear
case of persecution and that the course
of time would show his character up as
bright as dollar. He had done moth
ing to warrant fear as to the result OF
his hearing and would be on hand Sep
TENDER I'd.
But for the pallor in his usually dark
face there was nothing to indicate in
the appearance of Mr.. Hilliker this
morning that he was undergoing a set
of very trying experiences. His de-
meanor was that of the same stolid Hill
liker who had fought and won more
battles in the council chamber than all
the rest of his colleagues put together.
When Justice Hanks acquiesced to the
requests made Dy his attorneys. the
councilman set his silk tile on his head
and with shoulders erect swept grandly
by the throng OF spectators and boarded
a street car of this city.

A Political Move.

LONDON, August 1s.-The Times St.
Petersburg correspondent says that il
is declared in we'll informed circles that
the prohibition of rye exports was not
warranted by the condition of crops,
and that the cause was political move
against Germany and Austria
international stocks generally are de-
pressed by the Mohurago failure at
Trieste and the stoppage OF Russian rye
exports. Some fears are expressed that
short crops will cause domestic discon-
tent in Russia, which will lead to a
counteracting policy OF foreign aggres-
sion. Cereals are firmer in Liverpool.
Maize is expected to further advance,
being in demand as a substitute for rye
on the continent.
There has been a change in the tone
of German papers toward the United
States since the Russian ukase regard
ing rye exports. The writer's now look
to the United States for relief, not only
for the present but in the future. But
it is confidently thought the supply
will Offset the poor harvest and prevent
prolonged distress.
A Berlin dispatch says the news
from eastern Prussia Is OF the glOomiest
kind. The people there have just be-
come aware OF the Russian prohibition
OF rye exports and they regard it as al
most a death sentence. Those near the
frontier are depending on rye purchas-
ed in small quantities across the boun.
Diary in Russia. The Russian officials
now refuse to let even pound of grain
go over the line and have threatened
with Imprisonment any person caught
selling or any German found on Russian
soil with grain bought there.
The scenes described are heartrender
ing and numerous applications nave
been made to the local authorities for
relief. These applications are fast con-
Stunning the money devoted to the
sustenance of the poor and there is
some talk of petitioning the Prussian
government to issue army rations to
the people. 1t is believed that Chan
cellor Won Caprivi will adopt this
course rather than repeal the corn
duties.
In the manufacturing centers, es-
pecially Chemnitz, Plauen and Greiz,
the distress is increasing, dizziness OF
trade being combined with high prices
of provisions. Rye bread Is the staple
of the poorer classes and any increase oil
the already high prices means stsrva-
tod.
There is strong desire in the manu-
featuring districts to emigrate to Amer
lea, but few of the people are we'll
enough off to do so. Among the peas

thetic despair. Prevalent distress in
Germany reacts on the Jewish refugees
and even on the border they are being
turned back unless absolutely equipped
with funds to take care Of themselves.
The majority of the refugees are with.

Maryland's Alliance Opposed to Third
Party.

BALTIMORE, Md. August 1S.-Soon
after 9 o'clock yesterday the third con-
vention OF the Farmers alliance or
peoples party began its second days
session, Hugh Mitchell, the president
OF the state alliance being in the chair.
The order was at once given to clear
the hall OF all outsiders and reporters
and the business of the session opened.
The debate on the resolutions carried
the session to o'clock when recess was
taken to 2:30. The resolutions adopted
are as follows: Be it
Resolved by the farmers alliance of
the state of Maryland, That every citi-
zen has right to stand on footing of
exact equality before the law with
every other citizen: that, therefore the
burden Of all taxation ought to be i'm
posed equally and impartially on all
property of whatsoever kind, both per-
sonal and real, without distinction or
discrimination; that every exemption
from taxation is equivalent to direct
appropriation for the benefit of the own
er OF exempt property and an increased
levy on the property of those who pay
taxes.
That no tax law which provides for
the exemption of any property of any
kind can be either expedient or just,
that no law, no contract. no device;
which by any means directly or indi-
rectly, impose the payment of any part
OF any tax upon any man not the bona
hde owner OF that property ought to
be tolerated; that such law, contract or
device ought to be illegal and void:
that the proposed amendment to the
constitution of the state to be submitted
to the voters of the ensuing election for
their approval. and which is in the
nature of substitute for article 20 OF
the bill of rights, while ostensibly pro-
viding limitation of exemptions from
taxation, does in fact lodge with the
legislature the unrestricted power to
make both exemptions and discrimi-
nations at its pleasure, and that there
fore 1t ought not to be approved or
adopted by the people; that debts Sc
cured by mortgages at legal interest
are among the best and most productive
forms OF property, and should be taxed
where the mortgages are recorded, and
that therefore the proposed amendment
to the constitution in that behalf is ex-
pedient, right, wise and just and ought
to be approved and adopted by the peo-
pie.
That non-residents of the state ought

ArtesIan Wells of Thought in Kansas.

Thought is still breaking out in Kan
sas powerfully. The soil Of Kansas is
saturated with thought, and the steam
is very high in the public head. All
you have to do to get jet OF thought is
to bore hole in the ground-that is to
say, in the aggregate brain of the ag-
gressive populace. 1t Is wonderful
what happens TO a people who go to
work deliberately to stimulate their
brains to superhuman efforts to procure
large supplies of original thought. The
Elk county farmers alliance has adopt
ed resolutions because of the refusal of
banks to lend money on Kansas land.
The Elk county people demand" that
the president shall call an extra session
of congress and have as much money as
the people want provided at once. The
further demand is that the people of
Kansas shall have all of this money they
want at a low rate of interest, and pay
the principal in small installments-
the government meantime securing it
sell by holding mortgage on Kansas
land. 1t does not seem to occur to
these financiers that their credit is of
any Importance. They can not borrow
money, because they have destroyed
their credit. IL it is infamous to COL
lect debt according to contract, the
man with money does not propose to
make himself a criminal in retaining
his own. Ii it is the duty of the gov
ernment to furnish the money the peo-
pie want, it would be scandalous to en-
cumber the farms OF the people. The
cost OF a few billions Of treasury notes
would be trifiing, and the government
the most cruel of oppressors to take land
for paper. Evidently the people of Kan

10 His Countr,
JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.

JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.
BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 1s.-James
Russell Lowell died last Wednesday
morning. His death was caused by an
affection of the liver together with
other ailments incidental to his advan-
ced age.
Mr.. Lowell passed away at his home.
Elmwood, in Cambridge, where he was
born. Almost to the last he was hard,
although erratic worker. He had not
been seen as often in society lately as
formerly, but up to five years ago he
seemed in robust health.
BIOGRAPHICAL
James Russell Lowell was born in Cambridge,
Mass, February 22, 1879 The poet was de.
scended from an English family who settled in
New England In the year 1889: His grandfath-
ing assisted in framing the constitution of
Massachusetts, in 1880 The family of the Low
ellis gave its name to the city of Lowell and
preachers, lawyers, scholars, philanthropists
and statesmen OF the Bay State.
The deceased was the son of Charles Lowell.
and In genius and character was the heridetary
representative Of the heart and brains that
founded New England. His birth place was the
old tory mansion now called "Elmwood," o
large three story square, wooden house in the
grounds surrounded by magnificent elms and
pines planted by his father with an outlook on
the Charles river. Lowell entered Harvard n
his sixteenth year and was graduated in 1893.
His first published literary production, unless
probably some poems Of "Harvardina," which
he edited In 1873, was his noted class poem
composed under peculiar circumstances.
In the law school OF Harvard Lowell received
the degree OF LII. ID, and was admitted to the
bar In 1910. The only record Of the practice of
his profession is found in a story entitled my
First Client" published in the Boston Miscel-
lany. Henceforth he gave himself entirely to
literature. In 1s41 a volume of poems, written
under the influence of affection for a woman OF
genius who became his wife, was published I'M
der the title OF "A Years Life.''
Lowell and his wife were regular contributors
70 the Liberty Bell, and his name appeared in
1912 In the Anti-Slavery Standard as cores
ponding editor. In this paper from 1913 to 1916
his poems during that period m silly appeared.
Later the Boston Courier was the vehicle Of
his productions, and in its columns the first
series OF the "Biglow" was given to the public.
beginning in the issue for June, 1S47, and end
ing in 1913,
In 1913 he undertook the editing Of the Pho
neer, literary and critical magazine Only
