A HOWLING MOB

PARIS, July 23.-Horrible scenes
have been witnessed during the week
on and about Place de La Roquette
where criminals are executed by
the guillotine. Crowds of the lowest
OF the low have assembled there every
evening, and have passed the night in
the vicinity, eagerly waiting to witness
the execution of Murderess Berland
and her accomplish. Dore. On Satur-
day morning, as already cabled, a large
crowd had gathered about Place de La
Roquette in expectancy of seeing these
people executed, but the execution
was postponed on account of the mar
riage of Executioner Deibleris to the
daughter of provincial eXecutioner.
Since that time, Sunday morning eX-
cepted, the vagabonds and their con
sorts,aS we'll as certain numbers of peo
pie of the better class, have
gathered each morning about
the prison and execution place singing,
shouting, fighting and using obscene
and profane language. This morning
the crowds were more riOtouS ana
otherwise offensive than usual, The
consequence was that the police were
commissioned to charge the crowds.
making many arrests and somewhat
clearing the air OF the neighborhood.
The cafes and other public resorts in
the neighborhood have throughout
the week been doing booming bust
ness as the result OF this blood thirsty
expectancy and when the police had
charged and cleared the streets the
officers had another and quite as.lively
task in clearing out the most disorder
ly of these drinking places. Here
again many arrests were made.
Drunken and drink trodden men aod
women yelling and fighting were es-
corted to police stations, soiling the
very air through which they passed
with their horrible language.

THE ALLIANCE TO WORK
THE RABBITS FOOT ON
SPECTATORS.
TO PUSH PRICES SKY " RI
The Bulk of the Wheat to Be Held Back
from Market Until the Scarcity
Creates High Prices.

WASHINGTON, July 23,-Mr. H. w.
Aver, secretary to President Polk of
the Farmers Alliance, and manager in
this city of the Reform Press bureau,
which is also known as thu Alliance
Press bureau, said this afternoon that
the work of sending out circulars de-
signed to show the Farmers of the
country that it was to their advantage
to hold back the wheat crop, was ac-
lively proceeding in this city as we'll as
in St. Paul, which was chosen as one
of the seats of operation
because of it's locality in the
great wheat belt. Mr.. Aver
said that there has already been 400,
600 of these circulars sent out from
Washington and during the next few
days an average of 100000 day will
be mailed till more than million are
issued. The circulars, he said, will be
published in about 1000 weekly papers
with which the bureau is connected.
He remarked that he could not say, OF
course, that it was the circular that had
brought about the result, but he had
noticed that in the recent government
report that as a matter Of fact the
actual movement of wheat was $40
carloads less than had been estimated.
Mr.. Aver said information that the
issue of such circular by the Alliance
men was in contemplation became
public prematurely about two weeks
ago when the circular was in course of
preparation was published in a news
paper. The final decision to issue the
circular had not then been reached,
and many alliance men were unaware
of it, but it had since been finally de-
termined upon.
He explained that the executive
committee of the alliance had not
acted on this matter and that by the
circular no order was given to ALI
ance men to hold back their crop, this
being contrary to the methods of the
alliance. What is done by this circu-
lar is to give farmers information as to
facts in regard to the worlds wheat
crop with the suggestion that wheat
some weeks later than the present
time would bring a higher price.

THE ENCAMPMENT SITE.

The San Antonio Express devotes so
much time to polishing up its wit that
it has no time to inform itself. 1t calls
attention to the lack of bathing faclll-
lities at Camp Stanley and then pro-
ceeds to give the state terrible raw
hiding for not locating the encamp'
ment at San Antonio instead of Aus
tin. 1t says this would have been
done but for the niggardly policy OF a
state, which is the owner OF millions
and instead of purchasing the most
advantageous location for its training
quarters, passed around the hat like
beggar, placing its favor at auction,
knocking it down to the highest bid
der and then failing to get the money"
The Express should know, if it does
not; that the present location Of the
encampnent is but temporary; that
100 acres of land have been
purchased and will be fitted
up with every convenience for
the use of the soldiers. The perma-
nent site is near that part of the spark.
ling Colorado which will be turned
into handsome lake by the big dam,
furnishing the best possible bathing
facilities for countless mulIitudes. The
Express should know, if it does not,
that it was the intention to hold the
encsmpment at Arkansas Pass this
year, and that at the last moment the
change was made on account OF the
lack of hotel accommodations and
transportation facilities. The people
of Austin did not have thirty days
notice that they would be called upon
to entertain the state soldiery This
year. They at once went to work and
did all that could be done, and with
the single exception of the deficiency
in bathing facilities the provision
made has received the enthusiastic
approval of the soldiers. They say
that they were never better treated or
better fed; that the present encamp-
ment has been the most enjoyable
they ever experienced.
The Express should inform itself on
a subject of such Importance before
presuming to discuss it. 1t does rank
injustice both to the people of Aust
and those charged with the duty of
selecting the site of the permanent en-
campment.

IRELAND.

NATIONAL LEAGUE CONVENTION
DUBLIN, July 23-The league con-
vention opened here today with a
large attendance. Parnell, who was
the presiding officer, was warmly
cheered. Referring to Balfours
promise as outlined by the local gov
ernment bill for Ireland, Parnell said
he would pair with Timothy Healy in
making it SIS comprehensive as posi-
BILE.
The convention adopted program
which included manhood suffrage,
land law reform and reinstatement OF
evicted tenants. During the course of
the debate Parnell charged the Healy-
ties with anxiety to take the office now
and urged the Irish members of par
lament to take more strict pledges,
not to accept offices until Ireland had
the most complete powers over her
own GeStinies,
