ALLIANCE HOUSE PLANS.
Probable Course of the Farmer Congress
men on Legislation.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 22.-At
the farmers alliance headquarters it is
stated that the alliance will have fifty
five men who will vote with it on all
measures that it may see fit to bring
forward in the next congress. In the
senate the party claims four senator's
PETER Kyle, 'Irby and Vance.
At the next session the subtreasury
bill. as it was introduced in the last con-
gress, will not make its appearance.
That measure has been repudiated by
both houses of congress, and will for
that reason, not be resurrected. A bill
constructed, however, upon lines SINH
lar to it and embodying the same prin-
ciples, will be introduced into both
houses and pushed to vote.
The Stanford land loan bill will not
be touched by the alliance, but bill
bearing upon the same subject will be
introduced.
Another measure which the alliance
will demand is free coinage bill.
These three measures are the ones in
which the party takes the most inter-
est, but other measures will be intro
duced and efforts to pass them will be
made.

ENTERTAINED BY THE DRILL TEAM.
The Howitzer Battery and Many Ladies'
Enjoy the Detachment's Exhibition.

Last night the Howitzer drill-team gave
an interesting entertainment to the bat
terry and their friends the latter including
large number OF ladies'.
The parade-ground in rear Of the armory pre-
sented a beautiful sight. In addition 20 the
moons soft rays the open space was brluianty
illuminated with arc and headlights, which
beamed ON the artillerymen as they adroitiy
Ropes enclosed a sufficient space for the team
TO drill, Around this circle were hundreds OF
camp-chairs occupied by tho lady friends OF the
battery, and Judging by the manner In which
they applauded they both appreciated and en-
ioyed the skilful drilling. The small boy was
there, too, with his summer yen.
IL was ten minutes TO when Sergeant Starke
commanded Fall In and in five minutes more
his team were hard et work, and although IL was
very warm they drilled quietly and smoothly
without hitch or break. The programme, which
consisted OF forty-tHo movements, was executed
In twenty-siX minutes, which was rapid drilling.
Changing wheels, dismouDting, and mounting
piece and carriage and working with diminished
numbers we're particularly well executed. After
drilling fifteen minutes tho men were rested Tor
four minutes, during which time the EasChnd
Band played one OF their most inspiring selec-
tiOns. The programme was then finished and the
team carried the caison and piece OIL the parade
ground amid deafening applause. a great many
old HOwitzers and other veterans were present
and no one there enjoyed the beautiful handling
OF the guns more than they.
After the drill the guests were invited into the
assembly-rOOm, where four long tables were
laden with refreshments and beautifully deco
rated with flowers. Fully two hundred people
were seated, and the gallant young artillerymen
We'd with each other in waiting upon and attend
ing to the wants Of their guests.
The uOwitzers are favorites with the ladies',
and deseryedly so. No military company has
done more for their entertainment.
The stage in the assemby-room was beauti-
fully decorated with flowers, potted plants, and
flags. The battle-nag Of the old Third company
King Rex's flag, which was presented 70 the
battery while they were In New Orleans and
carried by them IN the Mardi-Gras parade, and
the battalion flag were gracefully clustered, and
in their folds were tenderly nestled Sheppard's

gun unlimberod and ready for action.
The room presented pretty sight, and the
Howltzers have added fresh laurels TO their
floral crown.
