Farmers Alliance.

The various farmers organizations have
nearly completed their work at IudlanaE o.
lis, and final adjournment OF the Supreme
Council OF the Alliance, which is holding cut
the longest, will probably finish Its work to-
day. Yesterday the Farmers Mutual Benefit
Associate adjourned, after amending its
constitution 30 as to admit to membership
men and women over eighteen years Of age.
1t resolved not to amalgsma.e with any
other organization until the Febrrory meet
ing: The F. M. B. A. alec rejected TreaE-
urer Ealnes and board of trustees.
The delegates to the February meeting
were instructed TO vote for independent DO
litical action. The Alliance yesterday
changed Its constitution to admit women.
The ant.sub-tTessury people, after issuing q
call for a convention at Memphis, December 16,
published two-column card charging MIR. Ms
cane with wrecking the Texas Alliance Exchange
to sell out the alliance to the Old political PARTIES.
Most of these charges were male at the Ocala
meeting.
The peoples party men are the lest satisfied OF

that candidates for President and vice president

The Washington State Farmers Alliance last
night elected B. Z. Ravens President. Be- olu.

Hon. Frank Jones Tells About the Sales of
His Breweries.
The congressional joint committee on immi-
grafton today gave a hearing to Frank Jones Of
Portsmouth, n. H., inquiring into a sale re-
Gently made by him of his brewing establish
ment to English capitalists, and incidentally
investigating the effect on immigration which
is likely to follow the purchase Of American in
dustries by foreign capitalists.
Mr.. Jones stated that he had sold his lsrew-
cries at Portsmouth and Boston for s6, 800, 900,
which amount included between two and three
millions Of foreign capital. The terms Of the
agreement, he said. were specified payments Of
cash and securities, with the unde .'standing
that he should conduct the business Of the COM
pany for three years OF the &C. 800 600 paid
for the breweries Mr.. Jones received in cash
about per cent Of the amount and the balance
in bonds and stock. All of the bonds were put
on the English market and we're purchased in
small amounts.
In answer TO q question Mr.. Jones said he re-
tanned about 500, 600 Of the stock and that
majority Of the stock remained in the United
States. He would sell under no circumstances.
He had practical control Of the business in
America, and there had been no attempt to in
troduce English labor customs or changes in
the conduct Of the company. Mr.. Jones fur
ther said that when he sold his brewery he
guaranteed a dividend Of per cent on the in
vestment to the purchasers.
He had no knowledge Of the sale Of any other
American breweries TO English capitalists.

THE RAUM INVESTIGATION

Bank Examiner Ferguson Before the Com
mittee, but He Gives Little Information.
j. d. Ferguson, national bank examiner was
called to the stand by the Raum investigation
committee, but aside from securing informa-
ton already made public with regard to the
Raum note indorsed by Mr.. Lemon and held
by the National Bank Of the Republic, no facts
were elected.
Mr.. Cooper wanted to know if the witness
had found any Of Mr.. Raum's paper in the
Citizens National Bank, in which Mr.. Lemon is
q director.
After a heated colloquy. in which Mr.. Cooper
insisted that if permitted he could show that
Mr.. Lemon was the responsible though not ap-
parent indorser on Mr. Raums paper to the
amount of $4,000 in the Citizen Dank and
Commissioner Raum declared that Mr. Cooper
wanted to go into all his private affairs.
and stated that he was perfectly willing that
the bank officers should be summoned and
asked if Mr.. Lemon had ever procured the dis
counting of any paper for him in the Citizens
Bank, the committee decided that the witness
should not answer the question.
Green b. Raum, jr., then made statement
denying charges made by Mr.. Cooper relative
to the care of his horses by O'Donnell.

FOURTEENTH STREET EXTENDED.
The Contractor to Begin Paving With As
phalt by May 1.

The Contractor to Begin Paving With As
phalt by May L.
In the current appropriation bill there is an
item of Sl2, 800 for the improvement by paving
with asphalt l4th street extented. Atpresent the
road on 14th street above Yale street is unpaved.
The tracks of the Washington and Georgetown
railroad are located on the east side of the road
and the roadway on the east side thereof is in a
very bad condition, while that on the left is of
macadam and comparatively good. In improv-
ing this street the tracks will have to be moved
to the center of the roadway, and the work will
have to be done before the LIST Of July or the
appropriation will lapse. The Commissioners
bearing this in mind recently wrote a letter to
the president Of the Washington and George
town Railroad Company requesting him to
change the tracks so that the improvement
could be made. The company requested that
they be not required to make the change until
they were ready to make the final change for the
cable road. Col. Robert in his memorandum
to the Commissioners today says that the only
reason he can see for delaying the change in
the tracks ia that it requires the railroad COM
pany to do the work q few months earlier than
is for their interest. aud that the public inter-
est would be sacrificed by paving the west side
OF the street frrt, as Il already is macadamixed,
while the east side has not been improved and
could not be used. The Commissioners dis
cussed the matter at meeting OF the board and
requested the secretary to write letter 70 the
Washington and Georgetown Railroad Com
pany requesting them 70 lay their tracks and
conduits for their cable lire on 18th street in
time 20 that the contractor for Appalling the
roadway may begin work not latsr than Nay !,
