INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 2O.--The alliance this
morning gave the final coup to the anti
subtreasury people by barring the gates
against the Missouri delegation from the
meeting of the alliance. The anti-subtrea-
sury men made prompt response by issn-
ing call for convention of the anti-sub-
trensury alliance men at Memphis Dec. 16.
The morning session of the alliance WAS
chiefly devoted to the consideration of de-
mands and recommendations from state
alliances. The most important action
taken was the adoption of q resolution de-
manding constitutional amendment

their terms of office.
The +. M. b. A. adjourned to-day, after
amending their constitution so as to admit
women and men over 19 to membership. It
also resolved not to analgamate with any
organization until tho February meeting,
its delegates to that meeting being in
structed to vote for independent political
action. The alliance also changed its con-
stitution to admit women. The
anti-subtreasury people published Il
lengthy article reiterating the charges
made against Macune at the Ocala meeting,
and charging him with wrecking the Texas
Alliance exchange. The peoples party men
are best satisfied. asserting that they have
secured all they came for. Tonight the

Outrages Upon the Bodies of two Dead
Generals In the Capital
SAN Francisco. Nov. 20.-One of the Off
GERS of the cruiser San Francisco, giving an
account of the last battles of the Chilian
war. says Balmaceda's commander displayed
poor eeneralship at Concon and Vina Del
mar. After the last battle at Placilla,
whore Gems. Barbo and Alcerrega were
killed, the bodies of dead soldiers were
buried in trenches. The bodies of the gen.
erals, however, were allowed to lie uncared
for, whore they fell, for nearly week
Finally, after the revelry in Valparaiso had
partially subsided, their bodies were picked
up, placed on a rude four-wheeled cart and
dragged through the streets of Valparaiso
being spat upon and stoned by the infuri-
ated mob. 1t was a terrible sight to see
two bodies, stiff in death, being treated in
such hideously uncivilized manner. The
officers say Chilian hatred toward Ameri-
can seamen was manifested on the streets
of Valparaiso whenever they went ashore.
The Baltimore's men were not the only
ones attacked, for one of the San Francisco's
crew, young man named Monahan, was
stabbed in the back one day and suffered
for several weeks.

But Eight Delegates Out OF 500 Vote
| AEasast st-Immense Enthusiasm.
DENVER, Nov. 20.-At the Mining congress
this morning r. G. Powers, of Arizona, an
avowed advocate of free coinage, occupied
an hour in discussing the use Of silver from
the earliest days of the worlds history to
the present time. u. X. Brown, of Asp en-.
said that America should declare the parit y
of the metals. At this juncture Senat r
Stewart arose and announced that he did

Harley Morse, of Colorado, spoke for
twenty minutes in favor of free coinage
Martin Maeinnis, of Montana. denounced
Campbell, of Ohio, in scathing manner
for his cowardice in not advocating the
platform upon which he was nominated.
Congressman Cassidy, of Nevada, declared
that every woman and child in Nevada was
united in favor of free and unlimited coin
age. Cassidy advocated the forcing of the
political parties to make that question the
dominant issue in the next campaign.
In the afternoon L. G. Howell, of Cali
fornia, made speech placing his state on
record as in favor of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. Gen. Doniphan, Of Mis-
souri,, and Dennis Sheedy, of Colorado, also
spoke eloquently in favor OF free
coinage. Judge Goodwin, Of Utah, made
an address in the course Of which ho said he

Connecticut was reached great enthusiasm

ada and Russia was announced in favor of
the resolution there was another scene of
confusion. When the total vote was de-
clared the delegates went Wild and 1t WAS
some time before order was restored.
A resolution was passed asking congress
to enact low protecting aqusducts, encour-

Sunday School Superintendent c. p. Kin

was done by resolution at the quarterly
conference Of the church on Wednesday
evening, and is the outgrowth of little
episode which occurred on Thursday
evening Nov 5. when an entertainment was
given for the benefit of the Sunday school.
The Rev. John Gutteridge. the pastor was
away when the entertainment was got up,
and had no part in it. Mr.. @. r. Kinsey
was the prime mover. and he got a young
woman from Dunellen, n. j., to give reci-

Peter told the rider to leave his horse out

times, and the Rev. Mr.. Guttetidge OBJ

fensive word and said that the story was
blasphemous and distasteful to the colored
people, number of whom attended the
church. The young woman was mortified,
but it did not prevent her giving another
recitation later in the evening. Mr.. G. p.
Kinsey took it upon himself to champion
the elocutionist, and he rebuked the pastor
for insulting her.
Later the pastor demanded an apology,
and, as Mr.. Kinsey did not make it. the
matter WAS laid before the conference and
resolutions were adopted to lhe effect that
Brother Kinsey had no right to rebnke the
pastor publicly, and that he should be de-
posed for SO doing.
1t is thought that the trouble is not
ended, however, because NJ. kinsey has
strong following in the church, and it is
limited that it may be impossible to elect an
other superintendent without his sanction,

Aa,Q2O-No Trace.


MrssouLA. Nov. 20.-[Special. The ex-
press car Of the west-bound passenger train
on the Cnur d'Alcne branch was robbed
last evening between Lookout and Mullan.
Shortly after the train left the top of tho
mountain and vas going slowly down the
steep grade and around sharp curves the ex-
press messenger, r. Il. Case, who was alone
in the baggage car, with all the doors
looked, heard a noise at the end next to the
engine. There was new brakeman on
board tho train who was making his first
trip over tho road, and Case thought that
the man, when he jumped tho train at the
top, might have got on at the head end, not
knowing that the baggage car doors were
kept locked. He went to tho door and opened
it. A pistol was Immediately thrust into
bis face and the order given him to go back
and give MP what he had. He was told that
II he did not do it he would be killed.
There was no alternative, SO he backed to
the express box and was followed by two
men wearing black masks. Both wore long
overcoats One had on soft felt hat and
the other knit cap, pulled down to the
ears. Case tried to make the men believe
ne had no money, but it would
not 60, and they compelled him to
open the box. As he was little slow about
doing it they told him he. had better hurry
up, and kept their pistols close to his head.
There wore two packages of money, one
of $4,000, for Harris d Mcdonald, at Wal
lace, and the other of $20 These were
taken BY the robbers, some pay rolls were
ripped open, the other contents of the box
were examined. but they found nothing
else they wanted. They then went to the
door and told Case that il he opened it or
gave an alarm he would be killed. The
train sped on to the watcr tank, two miles
east of Mullan, where it stopped for water
snd the conductor, Geo. Reanner, was in
formed Of what had occurred. It was about
645 when Case first heard the noise and
the train was then in the widest and most
desolate part of the mountains, which are
heavily timbered on all sides. The
train goes down the steep grades
and around the sharp curves slowly,
SO that persons accustomed to
getting on and off OF moving trains could
easily do SO at numerous places between
Lookout and Mullan. 1t was showing
heavily at the time aud an examination Of
the vicinity this morning failed to disclose
any footprints. AS far as known no clue
has been discovered
An examination OF the door disclosed the
fact that the robbers had commenced to
saw hole through the panel at point
where the bolts could be easily reached.
Two fine slits six inches long has been cut
and indicated a knowledge of the construc-
tion Of the car. The job is supposed to be
the work of experts, but the location and
were peculiarly favorable |
for an enterprise of the kind.
