with its enemies and better qualified to
take care of itself and defend its prin-
ciples than ever before. There are
many evidences of this condition.
Among the first might be mentioned
the activity and vindictiveness of the
regulation politicians This class of
people are the keenest and shrewdest
in the country. and can scent danger to
their profession with unerring pre-
cision, as the buzzard does its food.
They have discovered unmistakable
signs which point to their total destruc-
ton In the principles of the alliance,
and hence the bitter attack which they
have made on the order. To be on
friendly terms with this class means
servility, seif-ab4egation. and an en-.

Stores of the Farmers Alliance in All the
Cities of the Union.
TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. GA commit
tee of seven, consisting of the president
of the Farmers Alliance and the exec
utive board, was appointed by the Kan
sas alliance commercial convention to
investigate a cooperation scheme pro-
posed by S. w. Sandusky, of Columbus,
general secretary of the Kansas alli-
ance exchange.
The scheme, if successful, will build
up the largest combination ever organ
lied in the United States.
1t is claimed by Mr.. Sandusl<y that
the company known as the National
Union Co. has been chartered in New
York with capital stock of $50, 900, 900,
So, coo, 600 of which have already been
paid up. Each town is to have a COM
pany store and a resident manager,
who is to have charge of the store and
has a vote in the meetings of the COM
pany.
Goods are to be purchased by regular
agents in large quantities and shipped
direct from the centers or distributing
points to every store. The distributing
points are to be New York, Chicago,
Kansas City, New Orleans and Salt
Lake or San Francisco.
Goods are to be sold at the lowest
possible figure, the profits to be paid
out in salaries, expenses and rebates to
regular purchasers.

MARTINIQUE'S DEAD.

The List of Victims of the Hurricane
Grows Larger-It Runs Up into the Hun
dreds.
PARIS, Aug. 22.-Additional details
from St Pierre, capital of the island of
Martinique, which was visited by a
terrible hurricane Tuesday night, shows
that the facts already published are not
only in no way exaggerated, but that
they did not tell the full story of the
disaster.
The number of dead was originally
estimated at sixty with hundreds of in
jured, but the latest dispatches received
here announce that lis people are
found to have been killed in the coast
towns alone. while the total loss of life
is estimated at over 400 at the lowest,
while the injured number over 1000
The towns in the interior have not
been heard from as yet, but there is no
doubt that the loss of life in the inte-
rior may have been as great If not
greater than in the coast towns, so it is
impossible at present to even make an
estim ate of the number of people who
lost their lives through the cyclonic
disturbance which brought so much
ruin and desolation TO the unfortunate
island

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 32.-The express

a SURPRISE FOR BALMAcEDA.
The Insurgents Land a Heavy Force In
His Rear.

The Insurgents Land Heavy Force In
His Rear.
VALPARAISO, Chill, Aug. 2e.-The in
surgent army effected landing yester-
day morning at Quintero bay only
twenty miles north of here. According
to the lowest estimate it numbers 5000
men. They were brought down from
Caldero on eight transports, three tugs
and four war ships. The point of land
ing is about fifty miles from Santiago,
where Balmaceda's forces, to the num-
Der 10, 900 have been stationed.
Quintero bay is the entrance to val
ley and in direct line with Santiago
and Valparaiso.
1t now appears that the lowering of
the insurgent feet in the neighborhood
of Coquim bo bay was only a scheme to
deceive Balmaceda. By coming so far
south the insurgents leave the large
force of Balmacedists at Coquim bo
many miles north of them and helpless
to render any aid to the government
army in this section.
The landing at Quintero bay was,
therefore, a complete surprise to the
president, but as soon as he heard the
news he acted promptly. BY his COM
mand large force was sent north to
meet the enemy. Adm. Brown from his
flagship, the San Francisco, saw the
landing of the insurgents. They are
all well armed and enthusiastic.
1t looks as if the most important en-
gagement so far in the present war is
about to be fought. On its result de-
pends the complete overthrow of Bal
maceda or of his opponents. The rout
of the presidents forces would undoubt-
dely be quickly followed by capture OF
the both Valparaiso and Santiago by
the army of the insurgents.

Just go straight ahead without stop:
When mortgage comes due just set back and

For you are going to hear something drop,

For interest they will take all your crop;
But when Uncle Sam makes US two per cent

TRADE REVIEW.
Dun's Weekly Report Makes a Brightc
Showing For the General Trade of tn

Dun's Weekly Report Makes Brighter
Showing For the General Trade of the
Country.
New YORK, Aug. 22.-R. G. Dun s;
Co. s weekly review of trade says:
During the past week attention has
been absorbed by the great excitement
in grain. Russian orders prohibiting
exports of rye were taken as official
confirmation of the worst reports re-
garding the harvest in that country.
The price here was suddenly advanced
so far as to stop exports and then rap
idly receded, closing at 81 144, or 919
cents above last weeks quotation.
There is little room to doubt that for
eign demand will be greater than ever
if prices here are not SO advanced as to
important that the golden opportunity
should not be lost through such rise
in prices as would curtail foreign con-
sumption.
The general business of the country
does well, with general improvement
in nearly all branches, based on actual
increase of demand from farming
states. 1t may be doubted whether
there has ever been a more cautious
and conservative feeling prevalent at
any time when the prospect of large
trade was bright, and in scarcely any
branch is there seen disposition to
venture upon large speculative pur-
chases. Stocks of goods carried over
have been large for years and dealers
are admonished by failures, and there
is so general disposition to purchase
only what it is certain consumers will
require that many trades appear hesi-
tating and almost dull Yet the vol
ume of business is probably as large as
ever before at midsummer.

At New York both the organizations
Of artists give more attention than usual
to sculpture in their spring exhibitions.
The Committee on Casts Of the Metro
politan Museum of New York is engaged
in raising 800, 900 in order to complete
the gallery OF sculpture.
The authentic ancient portrait of
Columbus, copied from miniature, and
now on exhibition In London, will 20 to
the Chicago Worlds Fair.
Mrs. Hopkins Searle, Of Great Barring
ton, is to give the town of Methuen statue
of Washington. The figure is to be
colossal and will be executed by the
veteran sculptor, Thomas Ball.
In Cesar Maironi, who has recently died
at Bergamo, Italy loses the Oldest Of her
painters. He was meritorious painter
of pictures and frescoes, though his works
are little known outside Of his own
country.
At a recent art sale in Florence the So
called throne of Giuliano de Medici "a sort
of sofa, with high back supported by
columns), carved by Baccio d'Agnolo in
the sixteenth century, was sold to an Eng
lshman for $1,000.
Alma Tadema's popularity is now at its
height and London picture buyers are
paying literally for any of his produc-
lions. Three of his Italian pieces were
in the Santurce collection, and at the re-
cent sale realized $37, $50.
In Richmond, Va, the sculptor, Valen-

General Robert E. Lee at Lexington, Va,
has finished model of the statue TO be

In Columbus, Ohio, the German-Ameri.
cans have erected colossal bronze statue

Park, Philadelphia, the Germans have
secured bronze statue of Goethe, modelled
by Henry Mauger. 1t is cast in Phila-

One Of the noteworthy contributions to
the Champs Elysees Salon in Paris this
season is by Miss Klumpke, of California,
who has made great progress in recent
years. 1t is from Zola's novel of "The
Dream, and represents Angelo sitting at
bay window in a flood of bright sunshine,
and lost in thought The strength of cur
rent American art is not shown so well
as it should be in the present Salon, but
the coming exhibition of American art
only will remedy that Boston Journal.
An art event of unique interest will oc-
cur shortly in Brooklyn, when ]. s. T.
Stranahan, its first citizen, will unveil his
own monument in Prospect Park. This
is privilege and honor combined rarely
vOuchsafed to man, however high he
may stand in the estimation of his com
munity. The well rounded career of the
sturdy Brooklyn octogenarian, and the
testimony to it in bronze while he Is
still alive, make the occasion and the
man important features of proper mu-
nicipal pride. The statue is by Frederick
McMonnis, and has been highly COM
mended by the favored few that have
