The Pure Quill.

FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, June 1.-THE
Fifth district Alliance met here with a
small attendance, but enough of the So
called leaders were present to give it po-
itical Importance. An address was de-
livered by George Mueller. A row was
preclpitated by a resolution which Sem
ator Hompe introduced and wanted tel
egraphed to the St. Louis conference.
This resolution was:
That the Fifth district congressional
Alliance in convention unanimously re-
solves to cooperate with the Peoples
party, through the state central COM
mittee of the Alliance party, which is
in full accord with the independent
movement.
This was, of course, a slap at Mr..
Donnelly and an endorsement of Mr..
Owens committee. 1t was discussed at
length and some amendments made
looking to the recognition of the DON
nelly faction. All the amendments
were voted down, however, and the
original resolution passed.

STEAMER ON r

The City of Richmond Narrowly Es ape
Destruc tion on the Ocean.
QUEENSTOWN, June 15.-The steamer
Servia, from New York, has just arrived
with news of a serious accident to the
steamer City of Richmond. At mid
night on Thursday the Servia sighted
the Richmond flying signals of distress.
On making inquiries the Servia learned
that the cargo of the City of Richmond
was IN fire. The Servia steamed slowly
alongside the City of Richmond until
Browhead was sighted. The fire had
been discovered at midnight Tuesday,
when a cabin passenger noticed that the
floor of his stateroom was hot. He at
once gave an alarm and the crew was
promptly aroused. On examination
smoke was found to be issuing from the
forehold. The smell indicated that COT
ton was burning. Steam and water we're
injected into the hold and it was sup
posed that the fire was %quenched.
About 9 o'clock Wednesday morning
on a further examination being made Of
the hold, three burning bales of cotton
were found and taken out of the ship.
It was believed that the fire was subdued
before reaching Queenstown. The City
of Richmond preceded to Liverpool.
Beyond a scare the passengers are all
right. When the steamship Counsellor
came alongside the City of Richmond
the captain of the Counsellor dropped
dead on the deck, and the chief officer
officer took command and remained by
the Richmond.

Three Pennsylvanians Killed in a Run.
away Train Accident.
ALTOONA, Pa, June ia serious
accident occurred at l a. m. on the
Pennsylvania and Northwestern road at
a point near Bellwood, which resulted
in the death Of three men. A freight
train of thirty heavily laden coal cars
left Lloydsviile, followed by a pusher.
After reaching the summit the train
commenced TO descend the mountain
side at a high rate Of speed. The en-
gineer and crew applied the brakes, but
they failed to work on account of the
slippery condition of the track, caused
by the rain. The runaway train kept
on in its mad flight until a speed of
seventy five miles an hour was reached.
The trainnen struggled With the brakes,
trying to ave themselves and the train.
At Roats t~restle, which is Il curve, the
engine left the track, followed by
twenty-elght cars, which were piled up
and broken into all shapes. A hunt for
the missing employees was instituted,
when Engineer John Simond was found
dead between the sand box and bell. It
Is supposed that he climbed out on the
engine to work the sand box. Fireman

Pierce and the Chinese Mission.

MINNEAPoLls. June l3.-rhe Evening
Tribune's Washington special says: The
publication in The New York Herald
Thursday of the story that Senator
Pierce will go to China caused no excite
ment. because it received no credence.
The Associated Press, however, sent the
story out without crediting it to The
Herald, and thereby induced many to
believe that it was a true and authentic
announcement. The fact, as under
stood in diplomatic circles here, is that
the Chinese mission was rendered to
Senator Pierce last winter before it was
given to Mr.. Blair. Afterwards the
Japanese mission was offered to Senator
Pierce. and he was urged to accept it.
Finally, after due d%eliberation, Senator
Pierce concluded to follow the course
and advice of his best friends and de-
cline any foreign mission, however hon
orable. He is not in Washington at
present, but was here last week. It is
possible that he was again urged to take
the Chinese or Japanese mission, and it
Is also possible that he accepted it. but
there is no fact upon which to base an
argument in that direction.

Two Woman Assaulted With y Knife by
an Unknown Man.
MINNEAPOLIS, June IA man whose
identity up to this time is not estab-
lished, made a ~ferocious assault with a
knife upon two women who were enter
ing their living rooms, up stairs, at 249
Third emu south. Neither woman
was dangerously wounded, although
their escape is somewhat wonderful.
Their names r Lottie Wheeler and
Lille Cameron. They had just returned
from bicycle riding, when the Wheeler
woman, hearing somebody coming up
the stairs, went intolt the hall to see who
it was. The man was deliberately
opening a large pocket knife and came
up stairs without replying to the woman,
who asked him what he wanted. She
turned around to pick something from
the floor, and while in a stopping posi-
ton the man rushed toward her and
sent the blade of the knife into her
body at the lower part of the back.
Miss Wheeler screamed and Miss Cam
eron came into the hall to learn what
was the matter. An instant later Miss
Cameron grabbed a chair, hoping to
protect herself. The fellow followed
her to the end Of the hall, and reaching
over the uplifted chair, cut her on the
left side OF the face. Then running
toward the back end of the building he
jumped through the window to the roof
of the Enterprise laundry, then onto an
extension OF Bemis Bros bag factory
and disappeared in the darkness.

Convention at St. Louis-New Insurance
Feature to Be Adopted.
ST. LOUIS. June 15.-Delegates to the
sixth annual convention of the Order of
Railway Telegraph Operators are arriv-
ing in this city and it is expected that
when the convention is called to order
at least 30U delegates and their friends
will be present. The executive COM
mittee is in session and the books of the
chief officers are being examined. So far
the books are found to be correct, and
show the order to be in good condition,
both as to finances and membership.
One OF the proposed changes to be dis
cussed and in all proba bility adopted, is
a change in the insurance feature of the
order. 1t is proposed to remove the
clause compelling medical examination,
and to admit 20 the benefit of the insur-
ance all members of the order without
regard t. physical condition. 1t is
thought the old officers will be reelected
without mucho opposition. The question
of amalgamation with the brotherhood
of photographers will be discussed but it
is not thought consolidation will be
effected.

Open to HOmesteaders.

WATERFOWL, S. D., June 13.-Intend-
ing settlers have already begun to ar
rive here in anticipation of the opening
of the Sisseton and Wahpeton reserva-
ton, which will take place early in
July. The tract which will be thrown
open to homesteaders is dotted with the
outfits of those prospecting for the most
available land, and the rush for claims
will rival that experienced in Oklahoma
during the boom days. There will not
be the same number of disappointed set
tiers, however, in the new tract as there
was in Oklahoma, owing to the uniform
fertile soil. The reservation is some-
times COMPOUNDED with the Sioux reser-
walton, but is in reality $50 miles dis
tant from the latter, which is west Of
the Missouri river.

MET TO DISCUSS.

Executive Committee of the Third Party
in Session at St. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, No., June 15.-The execu-
tive committee of the Peoples party
met in secret session at the parlors Of
the Laclede hotel at 10 a. m. The fol-
lowing members of the committee were
present: H. e. Taubeneck, of Marshall,
Ills, chairman; Robert Schilling, Mil
waukee, Wis, secretary; George F.
Washburn, Boston; William Weaver,
Iowa; A. o. Wilkins, of Kansas, and
M. G. Rankin, Of Terre Haute, Ind,
Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota, is ex-
pected to arrive in the afternoon. J. II.
Davis, of Sulpur Springs, Tex, is unable
to be present, owing to committee en-
gagements in the Lone Star state. The
forenoon was passed in reading letters
from different members OF the party,
containing suggestions
As to What Should BE Done
by the committee to advance the inter-
ests of the party, and in an informal
discussion OF matters incidental to Or
ganization and future action. One of
the matters which the committee will
decide is the place where the national
convention will be held. The probable
tiles point to st. Louis as the city to be
selected. One important subject to be
discussed is the advisability Of placing
state tickets in the field in a number Of
states. Some of the delegates think such
a course would be unwise, as it would
have u tendency to divide the strength
of the party by introducing local issues,
when the desire is to make as strong a
show as possible on the national and
congressional tickets. There has been a
great deal of discussion as to the candi-
date to be selected as
National Standard Bearer
and a large variety of names have been
suggested, but so far no name has been
offered al a choice of a majority of the
delegates. A dispatch from Philadelphia
says it is quite probable that the copven-
ton called by General Master Workman
Powderly, of the Knights of Labor for
July 20, will be postponed until after
the meeting of the Industrial organiza-
ton committee of the Farmers Alliance,
Farmers Mutual Benefit association.
National Farmers Alliance, Citizens
Alliance and Knights Of Labor, called
for Feb. %, 1892. Notwithstanding all
reports of the location of the convention
of the industrial organization the city
has not yet been selected.

Carter and Pettigrew Disagree

WASHlNGTON, June Io.-Ine -sJaJe-
ments of Senator Frank Pettiyrew. of
South Dakota, and Land Commissioner
Carter, whose home is in Montana, are
at variance as regards matters looking
toward the removal of the Northern
Cheyenne Indians from the Tongue
River reservation in Montana. A few
days ago Senator Pettigrew said that if
the Cheyenne band were removed from
the Tongue river to Pine Ridge in South
Dakota it would be rank injustice to the
Indians. A commission, appointed by
Secretary Noble, is now in the Vest to
carry out negotiations with the Indians
relative to the removal. Senator Petit
grew advanced the idea that the Chey-
ennes. If they were removed from
Tongue river to Pine Ridge, would never
become self-supporting. All the land at
Pine Ridge that could eve be cultivated
had already been allotted to tribes of the
Sioux nation. at Tongue river, he said,
the land could be irrigated for cultiva-
ton.
The senator's ideas were explained to
Mr.. Carter. In reply he said that Pet
tlgrew DID not know what he was talk
ing about relative to the irrigation Of
1Ao LULU al Tongue river. IL never
could be done. MIR. Carter said that all
that he and other Montanans cared for
was to either have the Cheyennes re-
moved to some other point or placed
under military surveillance. Now they
were a constant menace to settlers in
and around the reservation. The Tongue
river reservation is fifty miles long by
fifteen miles wide. Besides the 200 set
tiers living in the reservation he says
there are hundreds around it who will
feel secure from depreciation until
this band is removed. Their only idea
Is to protect the settlers in the vicinity
of the present location of the band,

BEHEADED WITH CELEBRITY,
An Account of the Execution of FifteeI
(elestials Near Hong Kong.

Celestials Near Hong Kong.
SAN FRANCISCO, June l5.-The steamer
City of Rio de Janeiro, from China,
brings details of the ~beheading of fifteen
Chinese at Keowloon City, opposite
Hong Kong, among whom were the
three leaders Of the pirates who looted
the steamer Namoa five months ago,
killed the captain and mate and secured
over SIC. 900 worth Of corn and goods.
A great crowd witnessed the barbaric
spectacle, which was made more repul-
sive by the cynical testing Of the pirate
chief. The pirates were among the first
lot of prisoners who arrived, and
a howl of execration from the
crowd greeted their appearance.
"Well begin with you," said the
chief executioner, laying his hand
on the shoulder Of a tall, thin man, with
keen, piercing eyes. "All right" re-
sponded the pirate leader; "Im number
one. He was placed at one end of the
square and all of the others knelt in
line with him and the slaughter began.
The chief continued to speak as if he
wished the spectators to know he was
not afraid. "You may kill me now"
he said, but I'll revive again." AS he
uttered this sentence the sword fell and
he was no more. The other miserable
looking wretches shuddered, but they
had not long to wait, for the brawny
butcher finished his work with CELEBRITY.
The whole bloody work only occupied a
few minutes.
