 The .'antis." while not so confident, were still determined that the third- party movement should not receive the indorsement of the alliance of the F.. Nj. E. A. IL is evident that the fight will be very bitter. The third-party men have big lobby in attendance and are working tooth and toe-nail to carry their point.
 Mir. G. F. Washburn of Massachu- setts, Eastern member of the Peoples party executive committee, says the third party movement will be en- dorsed, that all the industrial organ izations will be consolidated and that the Peoples party will hold the bal ance of power in the electoral college next year.

A stiff breeze was oioW- ing and the flames spread to sohheh, fields millinery store on the north, anu soon that great emporium was also ln flames. A second and third alarm were turned in and then the flames burst into the mammoth Famous clothing establishment. This was transformed into n fiery furnace in less than ten minutes, and the whole bio k between Franklin avenue and Morgan street on the West Side was in flames.
 The flames then leaped across the street and the roof of Crawford great store was ablaze. The tremen then turned their attention to that blaze and succeeded in putting 1t out An hour and half later the flames reached over Crawford's again, and also to the hotel on the northeast cor ner of Broadway and Morgan street.
 The firemen seemed powerless to prevent the spread of the flames. The
 
 their efforts seemed to be futile Finally, however, the flames were su D. dued The loss cannot be estimated, but it is thought it will reach sl,ooo,- 900.
 Several firemen were injured by fali- ing off a ladder. One named Alonzo salmon had both legs broken and his skull crushed. A spectator was seri- ously injured by n falling wall Two firemen were overcome by smoke in front of the ruins of the Famous building on the Mo gan street side.

The firms burned out are among the best known and most widely patronized in the city.

 Called 10 Order.
 At 10 o'clock State President T. w. Force of Shoals, Ind, called the first meeting of the Alliance to order. In doing so he addressed the disappoint- ing number of about five hundred per. sons Confused arrangements required messengers to be sent out to direct the delegates and visitors to the right hall. which was execrably cold and uncomfortable Prayer was asked by the Rev D. k. Lucas, after which Pres ioent Force welcomed the delegates and visitors to the State. His address was remarkable for its brevity. He was followed by Mayor Thomas l.. Sullivan, who welcomed all to the city in an other brief address. Then fol lowed the response of J. F. Tillman, secretary of the national board. Il was expected that Tillman would D G. cipitate his fight upon the third party movement in his response, but his dis erection got the better of him and il was withheld. He made only an incl dential allusion to 1t Tn his last sent ence.
 At the close he said:
 "Mr. Mayor, the Farmers Alliance means the greatest good for the great est number and is determined to have exact justice for all and special pow CTS to no one. It numbers in cooper ation nearly four hundred thousand and it has come to say, and will b, held intact as non partisan orgdniza | tion.'

The members of the alliance are piqued because Re- publieans are making much of alliance opposition to Cleveland numb Der of them are quoted as being opposed to Cleveland because of his position on free coinage.
 But" said President Polk to a re- porter, while 1t is true that they are opposed to Cleveland. the Alliance will vote as readily against Harrison, Blaine or Hill, or any other man who does not advocate the Alliance princi- ples We do not vote for men, but for principles, consequently i. would be the veriest inconsistency for us to vote for Cleveland and Harrison, who are single-standard men.
 By the way, no doubt you have heard of the great ,om bination of Stanford and Polk for the head of the third party ticket. Why, Stanford would not get an Alliance vote for con- stable. All these arti les which are circulated urging Stanford for the Presidency on the third party ticke, are the paid boomers for him."

be the most important of the last
 thirty years The idea that in union
 there Is strength is evidently foremost
 in the minds of the leaders. and their
 main purpose is to bring about an
 amalpamation of some kind between
 the different organizations, or at least
 to have well-defined understanding
 as to unity of action on matters of
 policy.
 The Alliance people are more anx
 ious about the amalgamatlon than the

 they have something to gain by 1t,
 while the latter will lose. If the two
