Special to The MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, July 7.-At the Alli-
ance headquarters in this city the Off
GERS report that the movement is quietly
making great headway on the Coast
In Oregon there are now 10 sub-alliances,
and State Alliance will be organized to-
morrow. Organizer Manring, who is now
at work IN the eastern part of Washington
State, reports that the work of organiza-
tion is progressing finely. Whitman and
Garfield counties are organized and Spo-
kane is about ready. Thurston, Douglass
and Island counties have organized, and in
this field they are doing good work. Or
ganizers will soon be sent into Stephens and
other counties. The Farmers Alliance Off
GERS in Washington deny the report tele-
graphed from Topeka. Kans.. recently,
asserting that certain Farmers Alliance
organizations in Kansas counties had met
and passed resolutions calling upon the
Farmers Alliance to disband as a
party organization because the Southern
Democratic farmers appeared to be
backsliding. The officers deny that
such meetings were held in any counties
on the contrary, the movement is steadily
increasing not only in Kansas, but in Ohio,
New York and great many other States.
They are confident that the Southern DEM
ocratS will support the new movement
equally with the Northern farmers. 1--WE
are expecting Senator George of Mississippi
to soon declare himself in favor of all the
demands of the Farmers Alliance, includ-
Ing the Sub-Treasury scheme. This shows
what strength we have in Mississippi and
all through the South, for that matter"
