1t may be that the convention which
meets III Columbus next week will
endorse the action of this confer
ence, but it is not certain nor highly
probable. None of the southern
states will be bound, but that a
third party will enter the field there
can be no question. General Weay-
er i'll his speech of congratulatiOn
said that the campaign Of 1892
would be between the Democratic
and the Peoples parties. HIS in
depreciation of the southern alb
scence is that the Alliance in the
south is Democratic. For that rea-
son the national committee which
was appointed was empowered to
call convention for the nomination
of presidential candidate, if the
convention which meets in Wash
ington in 1892 does not see fit to do
so.
That national committee is COM
posed of men who will not be trifie d

Kansas representation, outlined its

4 NEW QUESTION.

A NEW QUESTION.
A little group Of Alliance .ectur-
ers in the Emery Arcade last night
discussed feature of the alliance
movement which will be brought
home to the various state Alliances
within the next sixty days. Our
occupation is gone said ii lecturer
who has been operating IN Illinois.
so long as We could go before the
farmers and tell them they could
join the Alliance without reuouncin e
the old parties and dwell upon the
social and other features. it WAS an
easy matter to organize lodges Now
the first question must be. Are you
prepared to forsake your party for
good"
WISE AS TO KANSAS
From a Kansas standpoint the
move will unquestionably strength
en- the peoples party in the state
and will force the democrats to ither
support their ticket, receiving in re-
turn such crumbs as may be tossed
them. or sink into insignifcance in
the campaign of 1892.
The refusal of the convention to
give word of encouragement to
the prohibitionists will draw the
lines more closely than ever on that
question. If the republican party
ever had an idea of ignoring the
question in their state platform OF
1892, they will abandon it at once.
Brewer Burkhalter, who was the
chairman Of the local reception com,
mittee and who gave the banquet
last night, will be prominent fac
tor il Kansas politics.

Independence. All attempts to
postpone decisive action were aban
doned at noon yesterday, and the
men who had heretofore been styled
leaders simply became followers.
Senator PETER was the first to fall
into line, and his speech of accept
ance was graceful yielding to the
inevitable. With the exception of
President Livingstone of Georgia,
the men who had stood out against
third party seemingly took up the
battle cry with as much enthusiasm
as did Ignatius Donnelly, p. p. Eld-
er and Robert Smelling of Wiscon-
sin. who first marshaled the unor-
ganized third party mob. There
was just one answer made to the
leaders WHO counselled delay. sour

GEN HTPPoLYTE. weeks the presi-
dent has narrowly escaped assassination
on three different occasions at the hands
of political enemies.
Recently, while riding i'll company
with few officers near the city of Jac-
mel, President Hippolyte was fired upon
by four men hidden under bridge over
which he was passing Two of his com
panions We're killed, and in the excite
ment which followed the would-be as
sassins escaped.
1t was some days before the news of
the attempted killing of Hippolyte leaked
out, owing to the strict military precau-
tions which were taken to prevent the
public from hearing of the affair. No
surprise was manifested when the news
did come out. 1t was said that Hippolyte
raised himself to his present position by
force Of arms and that he must expect
to go out of Office by the same means.
The government papers denounce the
attempted assassination as cowardlv
attack by a defeated political party,
while on the other hand the opposition
papers openly state that "A revolution is
imminent, and that civil war. long
and bloody, will be the result of the up

BoYcoTTED BY EUROPEANS.
Serious Trouble In the Diplomatic Corps
at Washington.

Serious Trouble In the Diplomatic Corps
at Washington.
New YORK, May 15.--A special to The
Herald from Washington says:
There is trouble in the diplomatic
corps, The Europeans have boycotted
the Central and South Americans, and
no end Of ill-fcaling has resulted. The
Europeans affect to regard the repre-
sentatives Of the Latin American repub-
lies as uncultured and socially inferior
to them The atin-Americans, ON the
other hand. insist that the Europeans
are jealous of the favors shown them by
the people of the United States and
that this, and this alone, is the real cause
of the difficulty. They will tell you
numerous instances which illustrate the
truth Of this statement.
Quite recently. for example, the
German minister gave banquet to cele-
brate his birthday. All the members of
the diplomatic corps were invited with
the exception Of the representatives from
the Latin American states.
On another occasion the secretary of
great continental power met the secre-
tary of certain South American lega-
ton. With some embarrassment he in
formed the latter Of his personal regard
for him, but begged as favor that their
future intercourse be limited TO a strict
observance of polite conventionalities
and nothing more. He frankly added
that the prejudice of his European CON
frerees against the Latin-Americans was
so great thai he dared not run counter
to it, Notwithstanding he did not share
in these prejudices himself.
And so matters have gone on growing
worse with each succeeding day until
personal encounter between the hot
blooded young men of the respective
factions is quite probable.

GOOD TIMES COMING.
Fine Prospects for Everything That Glads

the Farmer Heart.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-The report of
the statistician of the department of
agriculture, now in press, shows an in
crease since April of last year of more
than 100 per cent. in the price of corn
and oates, 30 per cent. and more in
wheat in primitive markets, and 30 per
cent in Chicago for choice beeves and "a
for Texans. and advanced values of all
cereals and meats.
A hopeful and cheerful feeling is mo-
ticed, says the report, in official CORE
spondence from all parts of the country.
The elimination of the surplus of corn
and oats, through the under production
of last year, insures good prices for
those crops and the shortage of the
wheat of the world for two years, with
the low foreign prospect for the growing
crop promises the largest foreign demand
for twenty years at remunerative prices.
Fortunately present appearances indi-
date ability to meet such demand with
ease. The opinion is expressed that form
lands at present prices are promising in

Not a Cnse for Arbitration.

WASHINGTON, May 49, - An official
of the state department, when asked
Thursday if Italy had, as stated by a
cablegram from Rome, made a Iroposi-
to submit the dispute with the United
States in the New Orleans affair to arbi-
tration, said that arbitration was re-
sorted to when diplomatic negotiations
had completely failed
Diplomatic negotiations with Italy
have not yet ceased, and Secretaly Y
Blaine has publicly asserted his willing
ness to consider any claim the Italian
government may make for indemnity,
so the proposition, it is thought, is some
what premature. The proposition has
not been received at the state depart
ment.

the modern steamer Mohican ready to

secret that she will sail for South Amer
ca very soon, The Mohican is said to

this to be tbe case, as orders have beef
issued for supplies Of provisions far in

1t is generally believed at Mare island
that the United States government has
decided to concentrate rs large fleet rs
possible in the Chilian waters. where it
will remain until the war is over.
This belief is strengthened by the fact
that the Hehicm will carry Il large
quantity of shells which can only be
used by the Charleston. It will take the
