TRYING TO BULL WHEAT.
ANOTHER ALLIANCE CIRCULAR
BEING SENT OUT.

A Million Copies to be Mailed to the
Farmers Calling on Them to Hold
Back the Crop-A claim That the
Crop Has Been Greatly Over-esti-
mated.
WASHINGTON, Sept. IA. "A dispatch from
st. Paul TO Chicago morning paper says
the farmers alliance leaders in Minnesota
and North and South Dakota have resolved
upon another attempt to stop the tremenu-
Gus flow of wheat to the markets. The al
lance, therefore, yesterday began mailing
from its headquarters ], 600, 900 letters TO the
farmers, calling halt all along
the line. The letter states
that the new wheat growers
association and alliance secretaries all over
the country are unanimous that wheat is
bound to sell as high as 81 so, and possibly
50 per bushel, and they are unanimous in
this warning to the farmers not to sacrifice
their wheat and give spectators all the
profit there Is in 1t. The letter says that
the crop is being greatly over-estimated by
the newspapers and grain dealers.
WHAT THE ALLIANCEMEN SAY.
Il is said at the headquarters OF the
farmers alliance press bureau of informa-
tion in this city that the circular letter
above referred to simply conveys informa-
tion relative to the condition OF the wheat
crop Of the world, which the officers Of the
bureau say is such as must result in
an increase OF the price of the
American product. The object of the
bureau is to put the information into the
hands OF the producers in order to enable
them to take advantage of the existing con-
ditions and reap the benefit of any increase
in the price themselves, rather than
let their products go to the middemeu,
who, 1t is asserted, are now buying wheat
and will sell it later on at an advance. The
circular referred to is not an official docu-
ment Of the alliance. but merely letter of
information, intended not only for the
benefit Of members of the alliance but for
farmers everywhere.
SENT OUT BY A PAPER.
A copy of the circular was obtained at
the alliance bureau here. IL is a supple
mont to the State, the alliance organ of
Minnesota. 1t bears the caption, Facts
Worth Money, and its opening paragraph
says: "We have bit upon q plan of adver-
tising the State by showing our ability to
make for the farmers of this country a
few hundred million dollars, trusting that
there are enough sensible and decent
people among them to swell our circulation
to such proportions that we would receive
the proper reward for our expense and
trouble. This idea was the origin of our
now famous wheat circular, of which we
sent out over a million about two months
ago, and which has started q discussion
about the breadstuff supply that has helped
TO the extent of many million dollars even
those who through ignorance or neces.
sity threw their grain prema-
tuFely into the hands of spectators.
| We issue this treatise on the wheat question
in the same enormous numbers again, aud
request in the first place all secretaries of
the alliances to distribute them promptly
and have a special meeting called TO discuss
| them

MAcQUEARY TO APPEAL.

He Claims the Bishop Has No Right to
Interfere With His Sentence.
CANTON, o., Sept. 13.-The Rev. Howard
MacQueary has been rusticaTing In Virginia
and sojourning at Washington to gather
nerve tissue. About the first thing he re-
ceived upon his return was a message from
Judge Macmath, his attorney at Cleveland,
saying Bishop Leonard modified his sentence
to depose him, but proposed continuing his
suspension indefinitely after Sept. Is, when
the six months fixed by the ecclesiastical
court expire. Mr.. NacQueary had seen
this in the newspapers, but said he
did not believe the bishop would
assume to change the sentence Of
the court TO such a time Hs be would
promise to let up on his opinions. The
Verification of the change of sentence came
In Judge Macmaths telegram. The sus-
pended rector of st. Paul said he would GER
tainlv contest this, but declined to talk for
publication. He left for Cleveland Friday.
1t is understood from his friends hcre that
he will take the case to the civil courts, su-
ing for his salary after Sept IS, claiming
the bishop has no more right to make the
suspension last longer than six months than
governor has TO increase sentence Of q
prisoner from six months to a life sentence.
He says he will never compromise his free
dom of speech by promise never to talk or
write the views that have brought the dis
pleasure and punishment of his church upon
him
