A 81 Rate.

MIESFAPoLIs, June 1S.--The Tribune
says: & Is authoritively announced that
the Bur- 4ugton has made cut rate of $1
to Chicago to the Jefferson Club, oi
Minneapolis. This will possibly put Q
new light on the rate fight, and it will
possibly be not alone the 500 tine, which
the Western Passenger Association will
have to tackle in its war, This will
complicate matters somewhat, as it il
necessary that the Chicago lines should
keep strong and unbroken front te
meet the foe, and even then the 500 il
said to have much the best of ii as far al
the New England trade is concerned. II
the Burlington has made the cut, and il
can be proved, there will be war, and
war to the knife, with possibility of @
rate of little or nothing to Chicago IL
the near future. -

Tho Chicago wigwam Not Believed BY
some to BE Amy Too safe.
CHICAGO, June Is. - The Chicago
Tribune prints the following article
which voices the opinions Of q large
number Of people concerning the safety
Of the wigwam:
Zone of the most serious differences
that has yet come up between the ma
tional Democratic committee and the To-
cal committee charged with the con-
struction Of the wigwam has been over
the question of the safety of the big
building, where next weeks convention
lis to meet.
Ever since the local committee
changed the original plans of the wig
wan so as to accommodate 19, 500 people
instead Of $4,000, as was agreed upon,
there has been apprehensions as to the
safety of the structure with the great
weight it wi1r be subjected to. There
has been little said in public regarding
these fears, but the question has caused
some heated discussions between the
representatives of the national commit
tee and the members of the local COM
mittee, fragments of which have reached
the ears of the public.
"The accident which happened the
wigwam Monday afternoon when the
embryo cyclone caught - roof of can
vas and tore it into shreds and then
snapped the center pole into three pieces
has augmented the fears of those who
doubted it's strength. In fair weather,
they argued, with an orderly crowd the
danger would be lesssned, but the ex-
citement of a stirring speech, a nomina-
ton, or the effects of a severe wind
might drive the big crowd frantic and
cause panic in which great loss of life
might result E .m

AN ALLIANCE CONVENTION

Called to Meet at st. Paul, July 7, to
Nominate state Ticket.
ST.. PAUL, june ls.-Ths Alliance
party Of Minnesota, commonly known
as anti Donnelly, has issued formal
call for a state convention to be held at
st. Paul July I. A ftll state ticket and
seven congressman win be nominated.
The number Of delegates will be 2e6,
and they are to be elected by mass con-
ventions to be held al the county seats.
Paternal Legislation is denounced and
the sub-treasury scheme held up as the
worst sample Of this class of laws that
has ever been presented to the people.
The Mckinley bill is also declared to
deserve the continued opposition of the
men who voted for s. M. Owen two
years ago. The platform upon which
Mr.. Owen made his remarkable cam
paign in 1890 is endorsed and declared to
be broad enough for this year.
A Predicamens.
In commenting upon the calling of
the convention The Pioneer Press says;
There are some significant features
about the present position of the Alli-
ance state central committee, and these,
with one exception, are outlined in the
resolutions which follow the call. The
most important Of these is in effect a
declaration that the committee of which
CarrfnEton Phelps is chairman is the
legally organized arm TO legally con-
stituted and established political party
possessing political party franchise. I"
This being so, cuts off the Donnelly Fish
Peoples party and leaves it with
out any legal status as a political party,
and IL it places ticket in the field each
and every candidate upon that ticket,
from governor down to county commits
sioner, in every election district where
Peoples party candidates are nominated
win have to provide nominating peti-
tion bearing ths GgRatus~u6 per cent
of the voters who voted in 1890 This
will be no easy task for the Peoples
party wing to accomplish.
