JACKSON, Miss, June e. Especial =
During the visit here of Polk, Livings.
ton, Mcdowell and Willitts, of the
Farmers Alliance, some interesting de-
velopements came to surface in relation
to the National Alliance matters.
Tha National Alliance legislative
council met in Washington last Febru-
airy and created q legislative committee
consisting of three members, of which
U. 81 Hall, president of the Missouri
alliance, was one. Tho func-
tionsso f this committee were to formu.
late measures growing out of the Ocala
damands to be presented to tho fifty
second congress.
Ha1l, from the inception of the sub
treasury. has been a strong opponent of
the measure. When he was selected n
member of the committee i; was ro-
gardep as victory for the anti-sub-
treasuryites and was SO proclaimed, and
as an indication of the ultimate aban-
donment of the scheme, he commenced
TO work with increased vigor against it.
Wlth9his coadjutors no succeeded in or
ganiztng movement covering tho en-
tire Southern States, as is shown from
call for meeting of the anti-subtreas-
ury league at Dallas, Texas, July 10
next. This meeting promises to be
largely attended and organized opposi-
ton to the subtreasury measure.
In this circumstance hangs an inter-
esting tale. Within the last month ro
monstrances have been sent to Hall
by members of the legislative council
and members have also urged upon
PRESIDENT Polk the necessity of taking
action against Hall. Polk has had
considerable correspondence with Hall
advising him to desist and very recently
submitted to him one of two alterna-
tlves, either to cease his opposition to
the sub treasury bill or to tender his
resignation as member of the council
In the event of his Noncompliance he
was given plainly to understand that he
would be suspended, and was given un-
TIL July 25 to make his answer.
1t is believed that this is decisive
stroke of policy to Illustrate the object
OF the nti-sub-treasury league at Dali
las, Tex, and to influence less Jealous
opponents of the measure than Hall to
steer clear of the Dallas council.
Those who know President Hall assert
positively that he will decline to be
coerced and to give up his convictions, but
on the contrary will resign and fight the
sub treasury scheme harder thar ever.
1t is believed by many that this will
open the National Alliance and an indie
pendent organization Will grow out of
the Dallas meeting as a result, with n
more liberal policy, and in many re-
SpectS, especially as to members hin.

Dillon Will Succeed Mccarthy
as Leader of the Nationalist.

DUBLIN, June "a Special The re-
tirement Of Justin Mccarthy from the
leadership of tho Irish party is to imme-
diately follow the release from Jail of
John Dillon. There appears to be con-
census of opinion that Mr.. Mccarthy as
leader of the Irish party has proved
complete failure. His friends seek to
explain this by saying that he has not
been able to devote much of his atten-
ton to his political duties, and he has
always looked upon his position as
leader as of temporary character.
They claimed that were Dillon to be-
come leader of the Nationalists few of
the Parnellites woald come over to their
ranks and make great majority.

the Burial of Her Husband in Richmond

RICHMOND, June 81. = [Speciall-
Mayor j. Taylor Ellyson and the other
members of the committee of the
chamber of commerce, who yesterday
had a conference in New York with Mrs
Jefferson Davis with regard to tho ques-
ton Of removing her husband S remains
reached here this morning. The gentle
men are inclined to believe that the
only two localities being considered by
Mrs. Davis, arc Richmond and Jackson,
Mississippi. Mrs. Davis and Miss Win
mic are probably inclined to this city,
but some other members Of the family
lean to Mississippi, the place Of Mr..
Davis nativity.
If the romans are brought here Mrs.
Davis can make her own selection of
place of sepulturo in the yard of the jeff
Davis mansion, tho former white house
of the Confederacy. The property be-
longs to tho city and is now to be used
as a museum for the reception and pres
ervation of Confederate relics of the

The Navy Department has received a
few short cablegrams from Admiral
Belknap, commanding the United States
squadron to China station, confirma-
tory of the news received by way Of
San Francisco OF the persecution Of
foreign missionaries by the Chinese.
The admiral has sent all of his avail
able ships to Shanghai, the point most
threatened. The Alliance, the Monoc-
acy and tho lIalos, constitute this force.
These are vessels of antiquated build,
not one of which would dare 90 to sea,
but from their light draft they are very
useful in the Chinese river. The squad
ron will be strengthened in the course
of time by the Lancaster, now at New
York, which is expected to sail for
China in few days under command of
Admiral Harmony. The vessel is slow
craft and is to go by way of Cape of
Good Hope, so that it will take some
months for her to reach her destination.

Of the birth of George Washington,

is inseparably connected with the
memory of the great man. and yet
these matter fact people, who go
patiently mousing around among old

other cherished belief is shattered.
Still the hatchet remains an emblem
for a truthful man, when it does not
suggest the bad Indian with his toma-
hawk though good many of our
fellow citizens have evidently buried
the hatchet, As it does not appear
as sign over their doors. Railroad
