The Richmond State says lone of the
chief planks in the Farmers Alliance
platform is that declaring the -ineligi-
bility of lawyers. And get the so-called
Peoples party, ostensibly farmers
party, and aiming to corner the ALI
ance, invites them to a ticket composed
entirely of lawyers. The Farmers AL
lance declared itself against poll
ticians, designing thereby to prevent
politicians from using the order for
personal ends, and yet Weaver, the
man they are called upon to elect, is
one of the most notorious professional
politicians in the country. So far as
the Southern farmers are concerned,
Weaver was one of the most bitter de-
douncers of the South in the bloody
shirt wing of the Republican party
Virginia Alliancemen will soon have
an opportunity to read these speeches.
We do not believe they will support
such a man. The Hanover Alliance
did wisely in rebuking the attempt to
make a political party of the order"

AN INTERNATIONAL EPISODE,
The kidnapping OF Oberlander Taken
Notice of at Washington,


WASHINGTON, May 24.-The attorney
general has received information that
Charles Oberlander OF San Diego, Cal. i.
has been kidnapped by Mexican officials
and taken to Ensenada, Lower Califor-
MIA, for trial on a criminal charge.
Minister Ryan, at the City of Mexico,
has been instructed to secure the sur
render of the man, provided it is shown
that he is an American citizen, taken
without extradition proceedings.
GOVERNOR TORRES INTERESTED.
The Oberlander affair continues to ex-
cite considerable interest, says the San
Diego Union of yesterday. Mexican Of.
ficers started overland with Oberlander
yesterday from Tia Juana to Ensenada,
but were brought back on orders. A
new turn was given to the matter.
George Fuller said last evening: 81 re-
ceived telegram from General Torres
at the Alamo mining camp, Lower Cali
fornia, this morning, saying that he
hears of some difficulty at Tia Juana,
and asking me to telegraph what has
happened. l telegraphed him the sub
stance of the news reports in the morn
ing papers with regard to the arrest OF
Oberlander, bis escape and recapture.
General Torres telegraphs me in reply
Los Angeles herald., 1892-05-25

that Colonel Ross of Ensenada will inn
mediately 20 to Tia Juana to investigate
the matter, and requesting me to make
this known in his name to any proper
authority at San Diego"
Mr.. Fuller received another dispatch
letter from General Torres at Alamo,
saving that Colonel Ross and Judge
Rendon would leave Ensenada on last
nights boat for San Diego. This will
enable them to reach Tia Juana this
morning.
The following dispatch was received
last evening by Gen. Johnstone Jones,
the district attorney, from A. Godbe,
the United States vice-consul at Enee-
NADIA:
"Orders sent by special messenger to
return Oberlander to Tia Juana pending
the arrival OF Acting Governor Ross and
Judge Rendon, who leave for San Diego
by tonight's steamer"

THAT GRANT LETTER.

General Bussey's Reasons for Believing
1t Is q Forgery.
New YORK, May 24.-General Bussey,
assistant secretary of the treasury, is in
the city. Speaking OF the alleged letter
of Grant to Conklin, he said he had ex-
rellent reasons for declaring the letter a
forgery. He was in New Orleans in
1880, when Grant returned from his trip
around the world, and was with him a
great deal for ten days. He encour-
aged efforts looking to the
choice of delegates favorable to
his nomination, saying his experience
as president and travels in the old world
made him feel desirous ei another term
i'm the White House, in order that he
might carry out certain plans he had in
mind. In all HE conversations he never
uttered a word that would harmonic
with the sentiments contained in this
letter. He visited New Orleans in 1880,
just month before the letter is sup
posed to have been written.

Girls Interested in Many Subjects.


The manager of big newspaper clip
ping company tells me he has lately had
an odd experience in his peculiar line.
He has had orders from seventy-fve
dollars to $3.50 week in one dollar or
ders for twenty clippings from young
ladies or ladies who prefix Miss to their
names, and who are in the original big
list of the Four Hundred, on the most
extraordinary topics for young ladies to
be considering-dogs, horses, Monte
Carlo, pugilism, boxing and other sub
jects, supposed to be uninteresting to
the fair and fashionable ones? He ex-
plains it by the discovery he made that
this way of informing themselves on
topics in which they know their friends
are most interested, so as to be able to
talk intelligently to them on their own
subjects, is really fashionable craze
among the ladies just now. And it
strikes me there is q good deal of
method in this particular madness of
the fashionable young woman wishing
to make catch.-New York Recorder.

The Farmers Won.

The farmers and lawyers met face to
face in the house Of representatives the
other day, and the result of the legisla-
tive skirmish was a decisive victory for
the agriculturists. For several sessions
there has been decided jealousy between
the committee on Judiciary and the COM
mittee on agriculture in the matter Of
oleomargarine legislation.
This contest for prerogative was re-
viyed by the introduction of bill by
Mr.. Hatch, of Missouri, to amend the
present oleomargarine law.
This bill provides that oleomargarine
transported into any state or territory,
OF remaining therein for use, consump-
ton, sale or storage, shall upon arrival
in such state OF territory be subject to
the laws thereof, enacted in the exercise
of its public powers, in the same manner
as oleomargarine has been nroduced in
such state or territory, or shall not be
exempt therefrom by reason of being
introduced in original packages or other
wise.
II ask that the bill be referred to the
committee on agriculture" said Mr.
Hatch, who is himself the chairman OF
that committee t;
'Under the rules the bill should go to
the committee on judiciary" said Speak
er Crisp.
Mr.. Culbertson, chairman of the judi
ciary committee, asked for the reading
of the entire bill and then objected to its
reference to the committe on agricul-
ture.
Mr.. Hatch now formally moved that
the bill be referred to his committee,
and the yeas and nays were finally de-
manded. During1he roll call much ac-
tivity was displayed by the members Of
the two committees over the question of
reference, but the members from agri-
ricultural districts generally rallied
around Mr.. Hatch, and the bill was
finally referred to the agricultural COM
mittee by vote of 1913 yeas to 1OS nays

THE ARM OF ST. ANN.

Methodist Divines .Skeptical as to the
Genuineness Of the Relic.
New YORK, May 24.-At weekly
meeting of Methodist ministers yester-
day one of the members said it was
strange that protestants should have
stood still while part of the alleged arm
of st. Ann was exposed for worship in
the church of St. Jean Baptiste. He
thought a protest should be made.
There was no evidence, he said, that the
so-called relic was really what it was re-
ported to be. Others spoke to the same
effect.
Monsignor Bernard O'Reill, formerly
domestic prelate of Leo XIII, when
told of these remarks, said "The body
,Bollandiste, in the tomb of the Blessed
Virgin, at Jerusalem. A legend in the
south Of France is that all the relatives
of our Lord and the Virgin Mary were
banished from Palestine. They took
with them the body OF st. Ann. 1t was
entombed in subterranean chapel in a
cathedral of Apt, in the south of France,
by the first bishop of that see in the
first century. When France was in
fvaded by the barbarians, the entrance
TO the chapel was walled up. The evil
dence of its existence was also obliter-
ated. In A. d. 772 the vault was dis
covered and opened in the presence of
Charlemagne, Archbishop Turpin and
a great company of priests and mobiles.
On the cippusof the coffin waAinscribed;
This is Che body OF st. Ann, mother OF

Charlemagne to Pope Adrian 1, concern

body has been kept ever since in the

the city. The relic recently exposed in
this city came from the right arm,
which was sent to Rome and kept in
fhe monastery of st. Paul.

OMAHA, May 24.-Bishop Hurst pre-
sided at this mornings session of the
Methodist conference.
The committee on judiciary reached
the conclusion that the word ''laymen'
in the discipline, where it provides for
lay representation, does not include
women.
After sharp discussion this morning,
the conference decided to allow the Ep-
worth league to have its own special
secretary.
1t was decided to encourage the
young peoples societies of Christian
Endeavor and other such organizations
to re-organize as branches of the Ep-
worth league, in order to make the latter
the only such society of the church.
This action was, however, somewhat
modified later, on demand of the friends
OF the Young Peoples Societies OF Chris
tian Endeavor. who wanted the work of
the young followers of the church recog-
nized. The announcement was made
that Rev. G. A. Reeder of the East Ohio
conference had given $40 900 to assist in
the erection OF Methodist headquarters
in the city of Rome, causing great en-
fhusiasn.
After further action on rules to govern
the Epworth league, DIR. j. F. Berry was
chosen editor of the Epwo-th Herald.
The report of the committee on itin-
eracy recommending the abolishment of
the five-year limit on pastorates was
then taken up, and after long and
spirited debate the conference adopted
the minority report, which recon-
mended the,retention of the time limit.

MULEY HASSAN, MOROCCO'S SULTAN.
The French thought it necessary to
the security of their new possession to
annex the oasis Of Touat and its adjacent
valleys, which have population of some
100000, but the people there claimed the
protection of Morocco and there were
complications All at once the people
of the oasis and their wild neighborhood
broke out in rebellion against Morocco
and gained ground 50 rapidly that they
threatened to capture Tangier. Great
Britain at once notified the sultan of
Morocco that her ships would take care
of Tangier, and if necessary her marines
would land and defend British interests
there against the rebels. France de-
clares that this is only pretense to secure
a foothold, and that as France was first
in that part of Africa she must manage
this Morocco business and annex the dis
puted territory.
The situation in Egypt is far more
complicated. The French really con-
structed the Suez canal, but the British
got control The usual complications
followed. There was so called rebel
lion against Mohamined Tewfk, the
khedive of Egypt, who favored the Brit
ish, and so the latter bombarded Alex
andria and established protectorate.
The war in the Soudan followed, all
those opposed to the British protectorate
