Recommendation Views of Alliance.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 26.-The Times DEM
ocrat Durant (Miss.) special says: w. s.
McAllister, ex-Alliance lecturer, and DR..
Macune, editor of the Alliance organ al
Washington, arrived here this evening
from Starkville. In the hotel corridor
McAlister, after endeavoIing to provoke q
quarrel with Aacune, finally struck him
in the face, dazing him so badly that he
scarcely made any defense before they
were separated. McAllister claims that
Macune has had great deal to do with
the summary treatment meted out to him
by the Alliance today, whisper
ing it around in the secret
caucuses of the Alliance members
that he (McAllister) was bought up by
Wall street and was exerting his influence
to destroy the Alliance. McAllister
states that Macume sold out TO Pat CAL
houn last year in the Georgia senatorial
contest for 81. 900. and that Macume robbed
the Texas Alliance out of $4,000 or more
while manager of the Texas Alliance ex-

ROMANCE OF w. H. WHEELER.
Ups and Downs of an Educated Man
Who Disappears at New Westminster.

Ups and Downs OF an Educated Man
Who Disappears at New Westminster.
New WESTMINSTER, B. c., Aug 26.-lSpe-
cial. lin July last a man calling himself
w. ii. Wheeler was committed Tor trial i'll
the police court for stealing watch from
man named Meek, one Sunday night on
the Canadian Pacific railroad train. He
retained E. Myers for his defense and was
discharged on the 9th day of July, when
he came before Judge Bole for trial, as
Meek failed to appear to prosecute. While
lying in the provincial Jail Wheeler in
formed his lawyer that he was entitled to
property in California and Ohio, and gave
Gray an address in Fairhaven to which
the latter wrote. and found the mans
story was really true, and a letter
was received addressed to Wheeler
from his brother, wealthy
man in Santa Barbara. Cal. When
Wheeler was discharged Gray. pending an
answer to the letter to the formers
brother, lent him money to get his meals
until he could find work. Wheeler was
discharged on the 9th ult., and on the
2Sth letter came from Ohio. inclosing a
deed to his part of his grandmother's es-
tate and authorizing him to draw $500
when he signed it. Wheeler was to sign
the deed tie next morning, but disap-
peared that night and has not been seen
since. 1t appears from letters since re-
ceived that Wheeler is also entitled to
$4,000 left him by an aunt in Oak
land, CAL, and to $4,000, his share
in the estate of Younger
brother who died in California. Wheeler
was educated at Cornell university, and
was rather wild in his youth. He and
eight other students, among them the
youngest son of the president of the col
lege, ran away to the Southern states and
entered into the barbed wire business, in
which they were making money. when
their parents got wind of them, and
brought them back. When his father
died, Wheeler's share, amounting to
1862, 1000, was dissipated in riotous living.
and he finally drifted to Seattle and then
to Victoria, where be worked in sawmill.
Coming over here in July, he was arrested
the day after his arrival for the
theft of the watch. Since Wheeler
has disappeared, Mr.. Gray has received
letters from his brother in Santa Barbara,
offering, if Wheeler could be started in
any good business here, to send him all
the money required for the purpose.
Wheeler had expressed himself as anxious
to stay here, buy q vessel and trade with
Alaska, where he had made several trips.
The deed to the property is still in Gray's
possession, and it seems strange that
Wheeler should have disappeared without
waiting to draw the money, he being
without a cent at the time Wheeler was
only an assumed name. 1t is supposed he
went to Seattle after leaving New West
minister.
