WASHINGTON, Nov. Is. Elk Senator
Van Wyck, Of Nebraska, who has cut
loose from the Republican party and is
an independent member of the Far
mers' Alliance, is in this city. Z The
political situation,u he said, lis an
enigma to every one. It isimpossible
to predict the future. Some folks are
saying that the Alliance has gone all
to pieces. That is not so, and they
viii not find it out next year. lido not
know just what the Alliance will do,
but they will do something to make
themselves felt in the election Of 1892.
''There was falling off of the ALI
ance vote this Fall, and it was due
largely to the fact that there was q
large number of people who voted with
them before with the expectation Of
immediate results. Like the children
of Israel, theywere after the flesh pots.
They did not realize that the work they
had undertaken was not the work Of a
day. As soon as they won their first
victory they thought they were in sight
Of the promised land and wanted to
enter at once. Those persons are suf-
fering momentarily the effects of dis
appointment, but the great working
body of the Alliance is all right, and
the organization will be felt at the next
election.
whether or not they will have a
Presidential candidate in the field !
cannot say, but they will certainly be
powerful in some of the States"

VAN CoUvER, B. G. November l8---
Yesterday morning Customs Inspector
Lewis saw two white men parleying
in a suspicious manner with Chinese on
the steamer Empress of Japan. Sus-
pecting opium smuggling, he attempt
ed to investigate. The whites ran, but
the Chinese attacked the officer and
beat him until he was unconscious.
Later he identified two of his assail-
ants, and Chief McLaren and two con-
stables went to the ship with warrants
for the men. On attempting to cap
ture them, the entire Chinese crew sur
roundedth the officers, armed with knives,
hatchets, etc., and fight seemed i'm
minent. The police retreated to the
hurricane deck and finally gave up the
attempt, on the promise that the men
be produced in the Police Court Mon
day morning.
The police were not armed, and it is
thought that the Chinese are excited
by the recent riots in China, and be-
lieve the white men wish to injure
them.

Thousands of carloads Of grain are
blockaded on the Burlingtonand other

There are sidetracked on the Bur-

think that the Chicago blockade will,
be worse than ever when the delayed
