Proposed Union Of All the
Farmers Organizations.
Important Meetings to Be Held in In
dianapOliS This Week.
Scheme fer the UnifeatlOn Of Labor
Interests With View Of Securing
Desired Legislation.


INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 16.-Every known
organization of American farmers holds
some sort of meeting here this week. One
of the most interesting questions is, Shall
the allied interests of these concerns be
merged into one? Hundreds of delegates
are already in the city.
CONGRESSMAN Jerry Simpson, who ar
rived to-day, speaks most favorably OF the
Alliance outlook.
President Terrell of the confederated in.
dustrial organizations comprising the F. NJ.
3. A. Alliance, Citizens Alliance, K. of L.
and National Alliance), said of the objects
of the meeting: "The purpose is to take
action toward the unitication of all labor
interests; to adopts platform that all organ
izations in the confederation can stand
on, so that by united action they may
procure any legislation which they demand.
The question of combining with other
labor organizations. ETC., will not be taken
up until the February meeting.
The hardest political fight will be made
on the Endorsement of the Peoples party
by the Alliance, the consensus of opinion
of the delegates already here being that the
Alliance will not indorse the third party.
but will indorse that party whose platform
most closely proclaims Alliance principles.
President Polk said that while the AL
lance is opposed to Cleveland, it also op-
poses Blaine, Harrison, Hill and any other
man who does not advocate Alliance pru-
cDles. "By the way he added. mo doubt
you have heard of the great combination of
Stanford and Polk for the head OF the third
party ticket. Why. Stanford would not get
one Alliance vote for Constable. All these
articles circulated urging Stanford for the
Presidency on the third party ticket are
paid boomers for him. His Circulation Bill
was a pernicious measure, and degraded
the proposed currency from the very

versary of the proclamation of the Republic
of Brazil was observed to-day. A military
review and fetes were held in honor of the
occasion. The day passed quietly, the pub
lie taking little interest ir the cele ebration.
The situation in San Paulo is daily becoming
more grave.
CONFLICTING REPORTS.
LONDON, Nov. 16.-News from Brazil con-
tinues of the most conflicting character
Official dispatches from Rio de Joneiro as
serting with uneQuivocsl positiveness that
the country is absolutely tranquil, while
kilograms from Bnenos Ayres and Santiago
report that Brazil is torn with dissensiOns
and secession. The actual facts will prob
ably not be known until mail adviceS are
received. An official censorship prevents
dispatches not approved by the Government
reaching Europe direct. 1t Is not known
how such dispatches reach Buenos Ayres
and Chile.
The latest official advice from Brazil
states that the trouble in Rio Grande do
Sui is purely local, and that the Govern
ment of that State is now in the hands of
this that the authorities at Rio de Janeiro
regard the Junta as in sympathy with the
Central Government, but this theory is con-
tradlcted by the dispatches from Santiago to
the Times. These declare that a Pro
visional Junta has taken absolute control,
and asserts that it has an army of 10000
men armed with rifles. 1t is short OF artl-
lery, and has but one war vessel, a river
monitor, lightly armed.
AN OFFICIAL DENIAL.

virtue of the Constitution, the Federal
Government could not interfere Deny
the rumors of secession. The idea is con-
demned by all Brazllans Affirm that no
State thinks of seeding. Deny that the
members who dissolved the Congress are at
the foreign legations as refugees. Nearly
all the members of Congress have returned
to their States. Those who remain here 20

Government has taken no violent mea sures.

diately after. General Deodor0 da Fonseca

TOLEDO Ohio, Nov. 16.-In the Knights
Of Labor General Assembly to-day the first
business was the consideration of resolu-
tions presented by the Worlds w. c. I. U.
and National w. C. T. U. Those demand
ing equal pay for equal WORK fer women,

luton for the prevention of the sale of

raise the standard of law everywhere to that
of Christian morals. This was referred
to a committee.

Workman Powderly made a lengthy state

ously denies all of the charges and courts

FOR THE CONVENTION.
One Of the Delegates to Washington Ez
nressas His Viaws

Une OF the Delegates TO Washington Ex-
presses His Views.
& CHICAGO, Nov 16.-M. H. de Young In an
interview With reporter said: THE busi-
ness men of San Francisco have au-
thorized me to make any promises
to the National Committee that I
may see fl. pledging themselves to carry
out those promises if the convention be given
our city. We have already agreed to pay
the railroad expenses of all the delegates to
the Coast and return. We will do a great
deal more which l don't care to make public
yet.
San Francisco" continued Mr.. de
Young, "has no candidate TO force on the
convention in case she secures ii, but there's
one thing the Coast will expect of the next
administration, whether it be Republican or
Drmocratie-a place in the Cabinet. The
reason is purely business one,
entirely apart from politics. The
entire coast suffers from lack
OF acquaintance with its needs. There are
thousands of things Of vital Importance
commercially to the Coast upon
which no one in the East, no
matter how well informed, can give
advice to tie President. Among many
such questions are the Desert Land Act, the
Behring Sea fisheries, Hawaiian and Aus
tralian trade and communication and our
coast defenseS. Few realize the exact ma
ture of the latter. In their present condi-
ton few Chilean ships could blow San
Francisco to pieces" /"

A CHINAMAN WANTS TO LAND.
The Supreme Court of the United States
grsuted the application for writ of GER
tiorari to compel the Circuit Court for the
district embracing the Pacific Coast to eer-
tlfy to this court the case of the Chinese i'm
porter of Portland, Oregon, who was re-
fused admission to the United States after
a brief visit to China.
The court, in the opinion by Chief Justice
Fuller, says 1t will be seen that the case in
wolves the construction of the Chinese Re-
United States and China The Chinese
Restriction Act as amended made the
Identification of Chinese other than labor
ers, who were entirely excluded in the mode
provided, the sole evidence of their right TO
enter the United States. Nanifestly the
question involved as to whether the act
should be so construed in view Of the treat
les, is one of gravity and Importance, and
involves a matter of International concern.
This case, 1t holds, has no connection with
the Chinese case heretofore decided and re-
lied upon to exclude Ian Ow Bew, for the
reason that in that case the man was
laborer and not a merchant. The court is,
therefore, OF the opinion that sufficient
grounds are shown for writ of certiorari.

suggested three hours for the lottery
people and two for the Government. This

five hours. and Attorney-General Miller

as much interest in the case as the other
side, and thought one side should not have
more time than the other, though he proba-
bly, would not want more than two hours.
