DALLAS, TEX. Aug. 20.-The Alliance
meeting is growing in interest each day
and much business is being transacted.
Those members taking part are nearly 10
man SUb-treaSurY advocates. Those who
are opposed 10 the SUb-treasury bill have
all been rooted out, and are seen IN little
groupe either on the lower floors of the
Alliance building or on the streets. After
the resolutions excluding the ants wers
passed by the Alliance, a committee of If

mirtee, the committee 10 report back 20 tho

\. G.. Penn of Hopkins county was maGs
chairman OF this committee, while Thomas
Gaines Of IComauche was secretary. Both
OF these gentlemen are avowed third party
men and the third party idea may cut some
figure in the report taken back 10 the All

sented by Col. B. !. kendIiok, chairman ~

Special to the Gazette.


WASHINGTON, Aug 20-In conversation
with Acting Secretary OF State Wharton,
regarding the Chinese situation, he said:
1T is d mistake to believe that this govern
ment is moving slowly i'll this matter, and
that the same energy displayed by France,
England and Germany is lacking in the
United States. This government has been
keeping pace, step for step, with those
powers in all movements except one,
for the proper protection of her citizens in
China. The one exception is in the display
OF naval equipments. The latter is an i'm
possibility. The United States has but two
vessels III Chinese waters, and how eau she
expect TO make respectable showing with
those! The navy department has done all
in its power, and has ordered three vessels
from the Pacific to reinforce the
skeleton of Il squadron along the Asiatic
coast. Every possible precaution has
been taken to protect American interests
in China. We have united with other great
powers in making every proper demand
from the Chinese government. Our minis
ter, Mr.. DENLY, received his instructions
long ago, and every consul within the Dor
ders of the empire has his instructions TO
use all means within his power TO preserve
the dignity of his government and to pro
tect her citizens. What more can be done?
We have the promise and assurance of the
emperor that our requests shall be granted,
and we are sending every vessel that can
be spared across the Pacific to assist by its
presence in the preservation of peace

with the News ball tossers. The latter is
made up of good material, and the
boys have been practicing in aptici-
patton of doing The GAzETTE's ball
players up but the News boys
were not in it, the score at the end of the
seventh inning standing - to 3 in favor of
The GAZETTE's boys. The contest TOOK
place at the Oak Cliff ball park, and a fair
crowd OF spectators We're present. The
GAZETTE boys stacked up immense Ill Il
dandy uniform, made up of blue
cap, black shirt, white pants, black
hose and the regulation ball
shoes. The battery for The GAETTE's
team was Ed Watson as pitcher, with Cor
bin Johnson at the receiving end. They did
splendid work. and Watson'S pigskin WAS
hard to find-eXccpt by Johnson. The News
battery was SChOoley as twirler and Nc
Murray and others behind the stick
box. and did good work, but he
was too severe for the various back-stops
The field work of both teams was fair, but
the superiority of THE GAZETTEs was
plainly apparent from the start. There Is a
friendly rivalry between the two teams, aud
the News boys will soon visit the Fort

next time. Umpire Fitzgerald gave gen

The CHILEAN Trouble.

In diplomatic circles here it is confidently
expected that the state department will
grant the ENJOYS of the Chilidn conStitu-
1iondl government chance to argue their
cause. They We're unofficially informed
some time ago through a United States SEN
ator that they could not he received. Sub
sequently, however the fortunes of the in
Surgents improved. and it is believed that
the reports of Minister Ecan'S conduct will
cause Mr.. Blaine to revise his policy
towards Chill when he returns. Private
advices larely received from Santiago iudi-
cate that Mr.. Egau continues TO exert
himself in behalf of Balmaceda, taking
open action against the constitutional gov
eminent in the clubs and among foreign
citizens. $50 strongly incensed are peo-
PIE of Northern Chill against
Mr.. Egan,' writes an American
naval officer from IQuique to
fellow officer here. that when the con-
stitutiOnal government again comes into
power, as it undoubtedly will, they will i'm
mediately give him his passports, with a
request to leave Santiago at the earliest
possible date: Egan's connection with Bal
macsda is matter of great scandal here,
and 1 am surprised that cognizance is not
taken Of it by our government
Now that cargoes Of arms and ammuni-
ton have arrived at lquiQue, the agents Of
the constitutional government in Washing
ton do not appear to worry at all. The
general supposition is that the Itata will
be released. If she is her owners will I'M
mediately bring action against this govern
mcnt for large sum as damages.

Fort Worth Downs Houston.

The Fort Worth and Houston colored
mines met on the diamond again yesterday,
and the game resulted in victory
for Fort Worth by score of IL
to 10. The game was entirely in the
hands of the pitchers as the two men, Itson
for Fort Worth and MOBILES for Houston,
are considered the crack pitchers of the
state. The batteries were Itson and
Fullbright for Fort Worth, aud
MOBILES and Jotte for Houston.
Yesterdays game settled the fact that
Itson is superior to Mobiles. Some except
ionably good work was done by Second
baseman Smith of Fort Worth. The Pinch
backs of New Orleans want Itson and
Smith, and it is probable they will be with
this team next season,
