lSnIA.AroLis, IyD., Nov. lS.--Tho
longer the Alliance remains in session
the farther apart grow tho various fac.
tons appears to bo tho situation this
morning. 1tseems 10 be impossible to
settle the various organizations down 10
any definite plan OF action or TO any
united policy. eTho third party fight is
in bitter earnest, and every move is
made with more or less direct reference
to this main issue. A split in the Alli-
ancc OH tho sub.treasury and land loan
principles now seems inevitable. The
open meeting OF tho Alliance this morn
ing was 4 complete fzzlc, and lasted
but few moments When the cxecu-
tive session opened the trouble over tho
sub-trcasury matter began.
4 communication was received from
the executive committee OF the anti
sub-trcasrry alliance asking 4 hearing
for the protest prepared by w. Pope
lcamans, OF Missouri, under instruc-
tions from the st. Louis convention OF
last September. The NicCune factions
opposed any hearing, but livingstone,
OF Georgia, moved the appointment OF Il
committee OF five 10 read tho protest
and report to the Alliance whether or
not it should be rcad. On this motion
which was finally carried by Il two
thirds vote, bitter fight was made by
tho McCuns men who made the charge
that the Georgia faction had attempted
10 assassinate McCune in Mississippi.
The committee will call on Messrs.
McAllister, Hall and Ycamans, OF the
antl-sub treasury committee, this alter
noon.
These gentlemen will refuse to let the
protest bo read except in full all Alli-
ancc.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
NlcAllister will leave for Forth Worth,
Texas, tomorrow, and from there will
formulate call ior 4 notional meeting
OF tho anti-sub-trcasury Alliance men.
\ special organization will be maintain
ed all over the country. Before the
adjournment OF the executive session 4
significant action was taken which shows
that the protest OF the anti-sub-treasury
will receive very little consideration. \
resolution was adopted almost unani-
mously rcailirming the adherence OF the
Alliance TO every plank in the Roach
dale platform. Mr.. McCunc's resolu-
ton to reduce the representation one
half is likely to pass and is causing no
end OF uncasincss to the delegates who
have come here with narrow allowance
oil funds. 1t has developed that the
treasury is nearly empty, and unless the
representation is reduced there will not
be enough money to pay all the dele
gates. Tho Alliance has been falling oil
IN many states and the state Alliances
have been unable to furnish their quota
OF assessments to tho national body.
vt the reform press association meet
ING this morning it WAS decided to per-
Init members who gave their adherence
20 tho main principles OF the Alliance
to advocate or oppose whatsoever
minor ideas they please. Tho +. NJ. B.
\. was III secret session till Ole o'clock
TIL. afternoon on routine business.
DlsGUSrED MEMBERS.
The state agents this morning adopted
Roachdale's plan, which contcmDlales
cash sales ut Alliance stores and divis-
ion OF profits among the patrons. This
IS regarded rs black eye for the Union
Company. RumorS OF scandalous rev.
eiatlons in regard to the action OF Ger
tain Alliance leaders are floating
around, but no publications have
yet been made. That portion OF
the executive committee OF tho
Peoples party now here is in
almost continuous session. Its efforts
arc mostly directed toward coaao!ida-
tion OF the various industrial bodies in
hope OF getting final endorsement oi
tho third party idea ut tho February
meeting The Peoples party men arc
still confident OF carrying their point.
Tho T: N. B. A., is having n hard time
over tho matter OF funds. About hall
tho organizations arc delinquent and
thero is no money ior the delegates.
As 4 consequence the Ohio delegation
left for home ut o'clock and many
moro threaten to leave this afternoon
and this evening unless tho matter is
adjusted. AS no means of adjusting the
matter has presented it seems probable
that the 7. NJ. B. A., part OF the pro.
cccdings will soon come to IN end.
LATER REPORT.
In the Alliance tho treasury is so low
that it will be impossible to de!rav the
expenses OF the all the delegates, SO Mr..
McCunc introduced n resolution cutting
down the representation two-iiths and
1t was adopted. In the Farmers Mutual
Benefit Association it is found that
many states are delinquent, Ohio being
among tho number. To-day q resou-
ton was passed not to admit the Ohio
delegates until tho delinquency was
made good. Tho Ohio delegates would
not pay up and after long wranclc
the operation Of the resolution was
suspended in their case. Thus far
everything is chaotic in tho highest
degree. There is no enthusiasm. :
The business agents association to-
day adopted the Ruachinlc system OF
selling for cash instead OF credit and di-
viding profits with the patrons, the al
lance stores to be supplied rs hereto.

form press association decided TO cstab-
