A SPLIT
Likely to Result in the Ranks Of
the Farmers Alliance.
President Hall, of Missouri, at
the Bottom of 1t.

Being Opposed to the Sub-Treamury
Measure He is Notified by President
Polk to Either Desist in His Crusade
Against the Scheme or Resign from the
Legislative Committee.
JACKSON, Miss, June 26.-During the
visit here of Polk, Livingston, Mellow
ell and Willetts, the big Alliance lights,
some interesting developments came to
the surface relative to National Alliance
matters.
The National Alliance Legislative coun-
Gil met in Washington last February
and created legislative committee con-
sisting of three members, of which U.
S. Hall, president of the Missouri Ali
ance, was one; The functions Of this
committee was to formulate measures
growing out of the Ocala demands, to be
presented to the Fifty second congress.
Hail. from the inception of the sub
treasury measure, has been one of its
strongest opponents.
When he was selected member Of
the committee it was regarded as vic
tory for the anti-sub-treasuryite and
tion uf the ultimate abandonment of the
scheme, Hall, after mis- election, com
menced TO work with increased vigor
against the scheme, and, with his coad-
TUTORS, had succeeded in organizing
movement covering the entire southern
states, AS is shown from a call for a
meeting of the anti-sub-treasury league
at Dallas, on July 10 next. This meet
ing promises to be largely attended. and
organized opposition to the sub-treasury
measure and McCuneism will be def
nitely inaugurated, and on this circum-
stance hangs an interesting tale.
Within the last month remonstrances
have been sent to Hall by members of
the legislative council, and members
have also urged upon President Polk the
necessity of taking action against Hall.
Mr.. Polk has had considerable CORE
spondence with Hall, advising him to
desist and very recently submitted 10
him one of two alternatives. either to
cease his opposition to the sub-treasury
bill. or tender his resignation as a mem
Der of the Legislative committee. In the
event of his noncompliance he was
given plainly to understand that he
would be suspended, and was given TO
June % to make his answer.
1t is believed this is decisive stroke
of policy to frustrate the objects of the
the anti-sub-treasury league, of Dallas,
and to influence the less intrepid oppo-
nents of the measure than Hall to steer
clear of the Dallas council. Those who
know President Hall assert positively
that he will decline to be coerced and to
give up his convictions, but, on the con.
trary, he will resign and fight the sub
treasury scheme harder than ever. Ii is
believed by many that this will split the
National Alliance, and an independent
organization will grow out of the AL
lance meeting rs a result, with more
liberal policy in many respects, and es-
pecially as to membership

Cherokee Seemed the Center.

WATERLOO, Ia., June 26.-The terri
BILE storm of Tuesday has done i'm
mense damage. The storm seems to
have taken circle, with Cherokee as
its center. Most of the destruction at
Cherokee was wrought by the extraor-
binary rise in the Sioux river, resulting
from the tremendous downpour Of
water. The big truss bridge, ON which
the Illinois Central crossed the river,
has also been carried away.
Wednesday night the Little Sioux was
at the highest stage ever known. The
best information indicates that the
Illinois Central rails are under water
continuously for many miles on the
Onawa branch, and that the damage to
roadway and bridges is enormous
Traffic will be delayed for many days.
Other railroads besides the Illinois Cen.
trail can scarcely have escaped great
damage, particularly the Chicago and
Northwestern, and the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul.
AS near as can be learned the storm
affects not only huge stretch of coU-
try in Iowa. but large portions also of
Minnesota and Nebraska.
Reports from Sioux City say the storm
has almost devastated that portion of
Iowa. No trains are running east. the
FLOYD valley is inundated for thirty five
miles north of the city. The towns Of
Merrell, Hinton and James are COM
pletely submerged.

FORTY-FOOT GUNS.
The Government viii Try New Expcri-
ment in FOrtifications

The Government Will Try New Expert
ment in FOrtifcations.
WASHINGTON, June 26.-Acting Secre-
tary Grant has just approved the recon-
mendations made by the fortifcation
board at its recent meeting in New
York. They include an allotment of
s., ,8lS for the completion of the wood
bridge wire wrapped gun. The board
also made a small allotment to defray
the expense of a survey in connection
with the selection of sites for mortar
batteries for the defense of San Fran
cisco. az
The most important recommendation
which was approved, however, is that
the chief of the ordnance be authorized
to construct some of the new twelve
inch rifles of forty calibers length. The
extreme length of these heavy guns so
far designed in the United States has
been about thirty-si feet, but some of
the European gun-makers have con-
structed guns of this caliber fifty feet
long. 1t is believed that the results SO
far attained will justify the extension of
our twelve-ii u guns to length of forty
feet, and the boards recommendation
that the experiment be tried has secured
the assent OF the department.

with United Press reporter he said

belief that the irrigation of that tract
was practicable.

YANkED GOULD BY THE COLLAR.



aires Life.
New YORK, June 28.-Jay Gould had
q very narrow escape from being ground
to pieces by Hudson River railroad
train few days ago at Irvington-on-the-
Hudson. The other morning, as he and
a few others stepped across the tracks at
the station to take the S:l6 train to the
city, a westbound express hove in sight,
coming at high rate of speed. Its track
was the one between the station and the
local train and standing on tall oblivious
to danger were Mr.. Gould and his fellow
travellers.
A station hand saw the express and
gave sharp yell of danger, at which
all, save Mr.. Gould, turned quickly and
leaped back to the station platform.
Mr.. Gould's thoughts were apparently
miles away, for his head was bent and
he was perfectly needless of his peril.
Baggage master Bernard jumped to the
track, and grabbing the railroad king
by the collar, ierked him back on the
platform, and before the absent minded
capitalist knew what it was all about
the express had thundered by.
By the time most of the spectators had
regained their equanimity the rescued
man was on his train for the city as cool
and collected rs though nothing had
happened.

His argument that his party is divided
on the silver coinage issue is in part
true, and his assertion that no states can
be gained 10 the Democracy by taking a
free silver coinage position is truer. He
is also sound when he pronounces the
present law as infinitely superior to free
coinage of American silver, which would
not enhance the price OF that metal, but
would take away from the government
snd give TO the silver producers the diff
ference between the market price OF
bullion and the coinage rate. But the
great majority of Democrats in and out
of Congress are set on trying to carry
the country on the free silver coinage
issue, and Senator Carlisle might as well
try to talk down cyclone AS TO attempt
to change their purpose.
