Il 10 to He Organized to Head on the More
Wicked Combines.
Topeka, March 3.--The new alliance
movement contemplates the formation
of huge grain and live stock trust, in
cluding Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and
Iowa. Frank McGrath, president OF the
Farmers alliance, says the project Is
one OF the results Of the failure OF the
alliance legislatures to pass certain bills.
Legislation, he saws, is too slow for the
achievement of the alliance objects.
McHrath says a district alliance is being
formed in every congressional district
and provisions are being made for build
ing cold storage and grain depots. The
district alliances are to be made up OF
sub alliances. In this way constant COM
munication from the individul members
OF the alliance will be had. In further
explanat McGrath said:
No Individual member will sell his grain
to option men or bankers, but when he is
Obliged to sell. the grain Will be taken by
the alliance The same thing will follow
with cattle. We will have agents In Kan
sas City, Chicago and st. Louis, who will
keen the district alliances posted as to mar
ket and demand. Upon this information
the demand will be supplied, and no more,
at a fixed price to be determined by the all
lance. No option wheat will be on the
market, and there will be no specializing
on grain before harvest. The four states
in this trust will practically control the
wheat and cattle markets Of the United
States. The hardest thing we have to deal
with Is fixing the price. We mean TO ascer-
tain the exact cost OF the product and add a
reasonable profit TO 1t. The new scheme is
modelled in detail after the whisky trast.
OF course, you will say our principles will
not admit OF 1t, but VIC have decided that
We must 6ght the devil with fire.

Indiana's Efforts to Got Rid of White Caps
Not Yet Successful.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, March 3.-There
Is great deal of excitement over visit
of band OF white caps at Gentryville, .
small town in Spencer county. For some
time past man and woman named
johnson have lived in the town and con-
Quoted confectionery and grocery
store. Recently rumors have gained cir
culation affecting Mrs. Johnson's virtue
and Mr.. Johnsons honesty, and on
Sunday night the white caps came
down on them. They were in full force,
about eighteen or twenty men on horse.
back. Riding into town about mid
night, they visited the house and posted
a notice to the effect that the occupants
must get out of the place in twenty
four hours, or they would be
whipped and subjected to other cruelties
of the white caps. Then they threw
rocks, sticks and pieces OF coal at the
house, and thoroughly frightened the in
mates Then. mounting their horses,
they withdrew. The next morning when
Johnson and his family dared to put
their heads outside OF their doors they
found the switches and the note. So
great was their terror that they did not
wait to get their breakfast, but packed
up as many of their things as they could
carry, and fearing to ask any one to help
them. walked out OF the place with their
bundles on their backs. Some people
who were not afraid Of the white caps
afterward packed up what they had left
and shipped them to Teunyson, Ind,
where they had gone. The white caps
had not before been heard OF in that Sec
tion of Spencer county, and their pres
ence there has created mnch excitement,
particularly among the classes that are
likely to receive visit from them.

WASHINGTON. March 3.-The secre-
tary of the interior has received infor-
nation that parties in Gutherie and Ar
kansas City have large quantities Of
soldiers declaratory statements awaiting
the opportunity to file them on lands to
be opened for settlement in that terri
tory. 1t is stated that these parties
have visited the soldiers homes in differ
ent parts of the country and obtained
from large numbers of veterans powers
of attorney to locate for them lands in
Oklahoma. So successful, it is stated,
has this scheme been, that thousands OF
acres have been entered by old soldiers,
when in fact it was scheme to defraud
the honest settlers. When any
of the latter settled upon
a piece Of land. an alleged attorney"
would wait until the settler had built a
house or fenced the land, then go to him
and demand considerable sum to rein-
qush the ''soldier title" The interior
department will institute criminal pro-
ceedings for perjury against any and all
persons who have filed declaratory state
ments and who can be shown to have
had direct or indirect interest therein.
The Negroes Have Been Lied To.
ST. LOUIS, March "a special from

ment would feed them and give them a
piece Of land, and now are at starva-
tions door, without friend within 1000

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, March s.-Tor
scores of years past thousands of men
have been working In the mines Of Colo
RADIO, and other thousands have been
delving in those OF New Mexico and Ari-
zona for paltry 81 or SO day, and the
owners OF the mines in which these men
have worked have considered themselves
fortunate when they have been able to
clear few hundred dollars month out
OF their property. And it now appears
that, lying right across the line between
New Mexico and Arizona, in the district
OF country reserved as ''hunting
ground" for the Navajo Indians, there Is
section not susceptible OF cultivation,
and OF no value as grazing district. but
which is more valuable in respect to pre-
cious metals than any other part of
either Of the districts named.
1t is that portion of the Navajo reser-
walton, covering an area of about 200
square miles, bounded on the north by
the Colorado line and known as the Car
rizo mountain country. This land has
been found to be so rich in gold that it
is worth as much for mining purposes as
the richest spot Of mineral land yet
found In any part of the United States
But as the country referred to is por-
ton of an Indian reservation, and.
though OF no value to tho Indians nor
used by them for any purpose, the law
forbids any white man to go upon It,
and the Indians guard it so zealously
that the few prospectors who have had
the hardihood to penetrate the country
and who have brought back with them
unmistakable evidences of the great
richness OF its mineral deposits have
done so at the peril Of their lives, while
q large majority of those who have been
rash enough to enter the region in uues-
tion for the purpose Of prospecting have
| never come back to tell OF what they
found.
At present few companies OF troops
stationed at Fort Wingate are sufficient
to guard the Garlic country and drive
out the few adventurous prospectors who
have the temerity to enter it. But as
the evidence now ut hand shows beyond
q doubt that this is one of the richest
gold districts on the continent it cannot
be long in tho nature OF things until this
fact becomes generally known to the
public, and when that time comes the
government will not be able to guard
the country close enough to prevent
white men from entering it.

The Mckinley B.n 10 Rs Reviewed at an
Early Day.

WASHINGTON, March 3.--Attorncy-
General Miller will ask the supreme
court to put Marshall Field & Co.'S APP
peal In the Mckinley tariff bill case on
the March calendar and ask for II an
early hearing. This Is the wish of every
body concerned, but it is of special inn
portance to the treasury depart
ment, which is daily confronted
with questions growing out of the
application of the bill. II the law
is to be decided unconstitutional 1t Is OF
great Importance to the government to
have an early decision. II 1t be held
constitutional. business men are equally
interested In knowing this. The attor-
neys for the New York importers who
have entered similar suits will be on
hand when the Field case is heard. There
seems to be an idea among congressman
who have had to do with tariff lcgisla-
ton for years that d particular section
Of the bill like that granting a sugar
bounty might be held invalid without af-
fecting the rest of the measure. They
do not put much stress on the alleged
error in the bill itself in regard to the
tobacco clause, because II the courts are
to enter into judicial determination OF
the work Of conference committees
an immense amount OF legislation
might be declared invalid. One reason
why an early decision Is wanted Is that
the reciprocity arrangement between
Brazil and the United States goes into
effect April /. If the supreme court
should hold, as Marshall Fields lawyers
contend, that the Mckinley act was
never passed this arrangement would
fall To the ground The mower to make
such agreements is not constitutional
power vested in the president OF the
United States. hut mere statutory
power derived from the Mckinley act.
If the Mckinley act was never passed as
it stands to-day In the statute books it is
not law land there are abundant decis-
ions of state courts setting aside alleged
laws enacted in a similar way as was tha
Mckinley actl and the so-called recipro
city subventions under IT fail.
