that nearly the entire week will be oc-

simply repetition of the case as stated
in these columns at the time of the
occurrence.
The neighbors of J. J. Shanahan,
near Madison Lake, yesterday did a

time for week to have done the

twenty-one years of age, leaving
100000 men. We have issued

NEW YORK, n. Y, June o
Considerable speculation has been
the result Of the Herald's publica-
tion yesterdao Of the strength of the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Uniod in America, and there is
much anxiety amoug political aspi-
rants. The Herald says.
'sWhile the recent Convention at
Cincinnati, Ohio, which provided
for the ''people's party" was not
''officially" meeting Of the Ma
tional Earmars' Alliance and Indus
trial Union, that organization was
practically in control there ''unoffi-
cially," und there is little question
in the minds Of the leaders of the
order that the joint meeting of the
National Farmers Alliance and
Industrial Union, the National Col
ored Farmers Alliance, the North
western Alliance, the Farmers Mu-
tual Benefit Association, the Citi-
zens' Alliance and the knights of
Labor, which is to be held in Wash
ington, February p, 1892, will
finish the work begun at Cincinnati
and formally launch the new party"
This journal addressed letters to
the Secretaries Of every State Far
mers' Alliance in the Union, asking
as matter of information, the
strength Of the Alliance in the re-
spective States and the effect of the
Third Party movement.
Prefacing the answers to these
letters, the Herald says:
, "The leaders of the movement
are not at all bashful about making
claims. No less distinguished men
in the Alliance than President
: Polk, Chairman of the Executive
Committee, Macune and National
Secretary Willis, of Kansas
have expressed the sentiment

LONDON, June 9.-The Gordon
Cumming trial was opened again
this morning, and Gen. Owen Will
liams. one of the defendants, made
an attack on Sir Edward Clarke,
accusing him of saying that he
( (Williams) was trying to sacrifice
an innocent man. The Lord Chief
Justice would not allow it and had
him take his seat.
Then the Lord began his charge
to the jury at the conclusion of
which the jury retired. Only ID
minutes had elapsed when the jury
sent word to the court that they
had agreed upon their verdict. The
suspense was great as the jury re-
turned to their seats and replied to
the usual questions. When the
verdict of ''not guilty" was an
nOunced there was tremendous
stir, and the court raped vainly for
order. Then applause and Kisses
were heard, but the former pre-
dominated. In a few moments the
room was vacated by the gayly
dressed throng and the sensational
trial was over.
The defendants present were
warmly congratulated by numerous
friends, and seemed supremely
happy. The verdict was in ac-
cordance with the general expecta-
ton. Betting during the morning
was strongly in favor of such a re-
suit.
While the jury were out Sir
William Gordon Cumming showed
no signs of nervousness, and sat
quietly reading some letters. His
friends, however, plainly betrayed
their apprehension. The defend
ants were also uneasy and anxious.
When the verdict was announced,
Sir William was marvelously cool.
He was really, to all outward APP
pearances, the most uninterested
spectator In court. He cody doned
his overcOat and hat and strolled
away with Lord Middleton. Many
pitying and sympathetic glances
followed him.
The charge of the Lord Chic
Justice is regarded as unnecessarily
severe against the plaintiff. Evi
dence was sufficiently one-sided, i
is quite generally remarked, with
out his Lordship throwing his per
sonal interpretations into the scale
against Sir William. The charg
is regarded by lawyers as practically
an instruction to find for the de
tendant.
AS Sir William Gordon Cum
ming entered his carriage the crow,
raised a loud cheer. The demon
stratiOn was all the more notice
able from the fact that the Wilson
e had driven off a moment before ami

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June g.
Mr.. Josephus Daniels, proprietor of
the STATE CHRONICLE, of Raleigh,
y. c., visited Senator PETER, of
Kansas, to-day, and had an inter-
esting talk with him on the subject
of the Farmers Alliance. Learn
ing that the Senator, in reply to
Mr.. Daniels interrogatories, gave
utterance to various statements of
general public interest, a repre-
sentative of the United Press APP
piled for and was granted permis-
sion to use the interview. AS re-
peated by Mr.. Daniels, the inter
view ran rs follows:
Il asked the Senator if the peo-
pies party would put ticket in
the field next year."
"Unquestionably the Peoples
Party will nominate candidate for
President and Vice President" he
replied.
.'Is there any chance for them to
win" | asked.
His reply was: That will de-
pend upon how fast we organize. If
we gather our forces as fast all over
the country rs we did in Kansas,
we can easily elect IA president and
Congress in 1892"
"Suppose, as result of your

.'But, insisted, if there is devi

men in the South to stay i'll the
