False Reports Cause a Run on the
Bank at Florence.

False Reports Cause a Run on the
Bank at Florence,
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 22.-The Flor
ence National Bank of Florence, Ala,
closed its doors to-day. The immediate
cause is the spread of false reports which
caused run on the bank. Some confusion
seems to have resulted by reason of Mr..
Flannigan, cashier of the Alabama Bank
ing and Trust Company, having been for a
time also president Of the Florence National
Bank. Its books showed 900 deposited in
the Traders National Bank of Boston, Mass
but draft for $4,000 on that bank went to
protest. It developed that the $4,000 had
been appropriated to paying certificates of
deposit of the Alabama Banking and Trust
company on an order of Mr.. Flanagan.
The bank expects to resume again in few
days, as soon as things are Strengthened out.

Nj. de Freycinet, minister OF war, re-

that an open trial might lead to disclosures

AMERICAN WoRKMKN RAISE The
MAFIA CRY.

The Foreigners Compelled to Flee
and Their Valuables Confiscated.
Police Make an Investigation nud
Arrests Follow-The Italian Consul
at St. Louis Demands Police Pro-
tection.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-. June ga party of
Italian laborers employed on the new water
works at Chain Of Rocks, some distance up
the river, reached the city yesterday and
reported that reign of terror existed at
that point, growing out of factional quar-
rel among the Italians. A police investi-
cation has developed the fact that the riot
was not the result of a factional fight be-
tween Italians, but arose from hard feelings
caused by the arrival of the Italians at the
camp.
RAIDED BY AMERICANS.
A raid was made by American workmen.
The Italians were driven from the camp,
their valuables aud money conflscated by
the gang Of American lAborers, and a race
panic was inaugurated. So serious we're
the proportions assumed by tM affair that
the italian consul, Mr.. Ginocchi, this morn~
ing called on Chief of Police Harrigan, de-
manding police protection for his country
men, and the beginning of an official investi-
cation Of the riot The contractor at the
works has also asked for police protection.
SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES FEARED.
There are likely to be most serious conse-
quences arising from the bloody anti-Ital-
ian raid, and rigid and searching investi-
cation is now under way. Some OF the
American laborers thought to have been
implicated in the riot are now under arrest
at the four courts, and it is
probable that several more arrests
will be made. The italian laborers
driven from their camp are now 10 refuge
in the city, to which they fed under threats
Of death If they dared to return to the
camp. Bad whisky played prominent part
in the affair, and the "Mafia" cry was used
as a means Of exciting the American work
men to their attack upon the Italians

FIGHT OF THE FARMERS.
TIE THIRD PARTY TO KNOCK OUT
MKINLEY IN OHIO.

Senator Sherman's Reelection to be
Defeated by the Farmer Element in
the Legislsture-Gov. Campbell Not
Objectionable to the Grangers-The
Money Question the Issue in the
Campaign.
WASHINGTON. June 22-Neither the re-
publican nor the democratic national COM
mittees appear to be doing much, but the
national headquarters of the farmers
alliance here is apparently running full
time. Just now its chief object seems to be
to elect a democratic senator and Incl
dentally a democratic governor in Ohio.
One Of the officers Of the national alliance
is quoted as saying; "While there is un-
doubtedly going to be third party candi-
date in the field in 1892. and we are going to
be in it. the salliance proper is occupying
middle ground at present, not committing
itself one way or the other. Wear making,
that is. fight is being made against Sena-
tor Sherman In Ohio, and his defeat is as
sure Of coming as is the election day.
DONE BY THE PEOPLES PARTY.
"The Peoples party and not the alliance
itself is making the fight. There will be a
Peoples party candidate for governor and
for every other office that is voted on in the
state this fall. In every legislative district
there will be Third party candidate for
the legislature. Every ward and precinct
is being worked. If politicians are ignorant
of what is being done, that is what we want.
Their surprise will be the greater when the
result is known. While. as have said, the
alliance is not leading the movement
every member of the alliance in the state
will vote with it and will do all in his power
to drive John Sherman out of the Senate.
AIMING AT THE LEGISLATURE.
"It is the legislature all are particularly
interested in, and we are certain of enough
strength there to prevent the election of
any man to the Senate to whom we are op-
posed. As popular as Maj. Mckinley may be
in the state have no doubt Of his defeat.
There is principle involved in this contest
which the various farmer and labor organi-
cations thoroughly understand. And
though both Of the old parties may do their
best TO keep the tariff to the front as the
main issue, the thing the Independents are
going TO vote on is the money question.
THE FEELING ON CAMPBELL.
"Gov. Campbell is not unpopular among
the farmers, and il he is benefited by their
fight on Senator Sherman they will not re-
gret it particularly. The platform upon
which Maj. Mckinley is to be run could
hardly be more Objectionable to the inde-
pendents than it is, and whatever the feel
ing of any of them may be toward Maj. Nc
Kinley himself they are determined to show
the country that no man can run on such O
platform and hold their votes.

BOSTON, MASS, June 22-During the

its suggestion, upon the influence Of secret

and uncalled for abuse
THE POINT VOTED DOWN.
Chairman Moxan put the question to the
meeting of sustaining the point Of order
aud it was defeated, 80 to Z. Instantly Rev.
Cleveland rose and addressing the sec
retary said: 81 request that you drop my
name from the roll Of membership OF this
conference. l do not care to be a member
of any body that refuses to sustain any de-
cent point Of order"
Then taking his hat he left the hall and
Rev. Stoddard finished his address.

WASHING AWAY ITS BANKS.
The Missouri River Changing It's Be
at st. Joseph.

The Missouri River Changing It's Bed
at st. Joseph.
ST.. JOSEPH, Mo-, June 2S.-The Missouri
river is higher than for several years, and is
still rising. All government work on the
Kansas shore has been abandoned, and the
government feet moored in a place Of
safety. The rapidity with which the surg
ing waters are cutting away the Kansas
bank can be best imagined when it is stated
that half acre lots of earth have been
tumbling into the river ever since yester-
day morning Workmen who came in from
Belmont on the government steamer stated
that the neck of land which now separates
the river north and south is less than one
quarter Of a mile wide.
GEOGRAPHICAL CHANGES.
At the rate the river is now cutting the
land away it would require but short time
TO place Elwood suburb on an island and
leave st. Joseph two miles from the river.
This would also leave st. Joseph's 81 900, goo
bridge standing over a dry spot where the
river once wended its way south. Several
farmers have lost hundreds of dollars in
wheat and corn which have been washed
into the river by the falling banks.

BER1NG SEA ARBITRATION.

son the British Representatives.
LONDON, June 29.-Sir George baden-
Powell, X. G. NJ. G.. member of parliament
for the Kirkdale division of Liverpool, and
DIR. Dawson of the Canadian survey depart
ment have been appointed arbitrators in
the Bering sea conference decided upon be-
tween the government of the United States
and the government of Great Britain. 1t is
expected that the meeting Of the board of
arbitration viii take place in October next.
The British members of the board win
meet almost Immediately at Ottawa,
whence they will proceed to Van
couver Island, British Columbia, with
the intention Of spending two months on
board of man-of-war cruising in Bering
sea. The Times to-day says that the ap-,
pofntments will be received with general
satisfaction both in England and in Cam
ada. The Times adds that "the American
commissioners, doubtless, will be equally
qualified, and the subject will have every
chance Of being settled in an honorable and
peaceful manner, with full knowledge on
bothlsidas"
Ashley Froude, son of the historian, has
been appointed secretary of the British
Bering sea commission.
NOT ARBITRAToRs.
WASHINGTON, June 22.-The department
OF state has been notified that tho British
government has appointed Sir George
baden-Powell and w. Dawson agents for
that government TO visit Alaska and ool-
lect Information respecting the seal fish
cries. The statement coming from London
that these men haveb been appointed arbiters
is erroneous. The negotiations looking 10 the
arbitration of the claims made by the
United States to jurisdiction over Bering
sea have not yet progressed to point that
would permit OF the appointment OF arbi-
ters, and, in fact, the nature of the arbitra-
ton itself has not been agreed upon. Pre-
sumably it will be entrusted to a board
composed OF two representatives OF the
United States, two Of Great Britain and the
fifth member TO be selected by the first four.
RUSSIA MAY TAKE A HAND.
But this presumption may be negatived
by an tnsstance upon Russian representa-
tion, or it may be that some neutral power
will be called In. These are matters that
will doubtless be arranged without difficulty
when Great Britain and the United States
have finally agreed upon the exact ques-
tions to be submitted TO arbitration. II
may be that Sir Powell and Mr.. Dawson will
hereafter serve as the representatives
OF the British government upon the
expert commission which the two nations
are bound to send to Alaska this summer,
hut it is altogether improbable that
they will be appointed arbiters, as their
previous duties might be supposed to unfit
them to act judicially in a matter where
they had formerly acted as partisan experts.

EDUCATION IN ENGLAND.

Mr. BARTLETT Moves to Reject the Bill
Now Before Parliament.
LONDON, June 22.-In the House Of Com
mons this evening Sir William Hart Dyke
moved the second reading Of the educational
bill.
Mr.. Bartlett moved to reject the bill on
the ground that it was not likely to improve
the education Of the country. He said that
though the House was prepared TO amend the
present system of education by extending
assistance to parents unable to pay the fees,
they ought not to accept measure which
throws upon general taxation the expense
OF educating children whose parents are
able to pay.
Mr.. Bartlett scorned the educational bill
as bribe. and predicted that as bid for a
renewal of tory power it would prove a de-
lusion and a snare. He drew a humorous
picture of Lord Salisbury and MIR. Cham
berlain leaving the garden Of Eden hand
in-hand after the general election. Mr..
Hamilton defended the bill. The debate
was adjourned
