STREET RAILWAY MEN.

Tho Convention In Pittsburgh-Presitlent
Watson Prefers Electric to Cable Roads.
PlrrsnUnGH, Oct. 2l.-The tenth an
nual convention OF the National Street
Railway Association was opened at 10
o'clock this morning by, President
Henry NJ. Watson. There are 800 dele
gates and about7oo supply men pres
ent. Mayor Gour!ey welcomed the
delegates, after which President Wat
son spoke at length upon the history
and prospects OF the association. The
drift OF his remarks were that he ia
vorcd electric at the expense OF cable
roads and described tho street railway
horse as having been clectrocutod. The
balance of the session was taken up
with routine matters.
One OF the principal questions to be
discussed at the convention will bc in
regard to an international street rail-
way convention. to be held in or near
Chicago in 1893, to which everybody
interested in tramway matters abroad
will be invited.
In his address President Watson said
three years ago there were only thir-
teen electric roads III the United States ;
now there, are over 400, with capital
invested exceeding So, 900. During tho
year the number OF horses employed
in the street railway business has fallen
off 2S,GSl. The executive committee in
its report recommended the organiza-
tions OF mutual benefit associations
among the employos OF each company.

nuni hcpOrt.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-Maior General
schoiield, commanding the army, has
made his annual report on the opera
tions OF the army to the Secretary OF
War. lie reviews the Indian disturb
anccof lastwinter. Hcrccalls that near
ly onc-half OF the infantry and cavalry
OF the army was concentrated at the
scene OF the disturbance and then SAYS
that this campaign teaches the lesson
that the entire military force OF the
United States would be wholly made
quate to prevent great loss OF life and
damage to property il general Indian
outbreak should occur. However, he
believes that no considerable number OF
the Sioux intended hostilities against
the United States unless driven to it by
hardship. lie says:
There IS, hence, a well grounded be-
lief that by the constant exercise OF dis
cretion in the management OF Indians,
coupled with justice in all dealings Of
the government with them, and the
presence OF 4 sufficient military force to
ovcrawc the turbulent minority among
them, there need be no serious appre-
hension OF an extended uprising OF the
Sioux. and probably not OF any other
tribe"

ITALY AND THE POPE.

E1.prcmier Crispi Says that Romo uuder
tho Poro Wns n Gansrcnc Spot.
NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-The North Amert.
can Rerie'c for November prints tho first
OF q series OF articles by ex-Premicr
Crispi, OF Italy, entitled Italy and tho
Pope" After tracing tho causes and
events which led to the unification OF
Italy and the various conflicts between
civil authority and tho temporal power
OF the Pope in tho last hundred years,
signor Crispi says: "Rome under the
Pope was gangrene spot which must
have poisoned tho whole body OF tho
nation. From 1860 onward it had be-
come the asylum OF all the fallen
dynastles, cavo OF brigands who in
tested the southern provinces OF tho
peninsula. This being stated, the re-
demption OF the eternal city was not
only logical consequence OF the rcstora-
tlon OF Italian rights, it was necessary
to the pacitication OF the country"
The question of the temporal power
the Pope has troubled for many years
the minds OF all Italian statesmen, ccr-
tainiy it has been for us the most diff
cult TO deal with in consequence OF the
character OF universally which tho
head OF the church possesses in virtue
OF his mission. When Cayour had de-
tcrmincd that tho temporal power must
come 10 an end through pacific means
that illustrious minister was tho first in
our time to undertake seriously the
study OF means to achieve this end. He
died too soon to witness the failure of
his policy. Garibaldi was prevented
from cutting the gordian knot, but with
out the cannon the porta pia would
never have been opened to the nation
to take possession OF its capitol.

KANSAS ALLIANCE,


A Crisis Ncachcd-h Fnotionnl Fight that
Dodes no Good.
SALIHA, KAs., Oct. 2l.-The State Far
mcrs' Alliance convention was called to
order this morning amid considerable
confusion and uncertainty. With the
arrival OF delegates last night and this
morning q strong and determined fight
against the reelection OF President
Frank McGrath was developed. The
greatest secrecy was maintained by the
ants. Not word OF opposition had
reached the newspapers up to q late
hour last night, as the friends OF prcsi-
dent NIcGrath considered his reelection
rcassured. The strong front presented
by the opposition spread CONSERVATION
among McGrath's friends, and it was
the ongrossing theme OF discussion
among the delegates this morning.
Hon. Jerry Simpson, who arrived this
morning, was said to be arraycd with
the opposition. The fight was based
upon the scandal created by the Turner
letter last winter.
1t was generally conceded that ii
McGratl was defeated, it would have n
great effect upon the elections in Kan
sas this iall. NIcGrlth's friends said
that it would mean disorganization Of
the Alliance.
