THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE
PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND DAY
OF THE SESSION.
Agricultural Topics Are Not Perm itted to
Enter Therein, But Political Wire
Pullers Are Juggling to Get It
squarely Into the Party.

MEMPHIS, Nov. 15.-The national
Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union met in convention here today

the secretary of the Commercial as

dress which was supplemented by an
address by Hon. A. s. MIN, state
president of the Alliance of Tennessee.
Delegate Dean of New York respond
ed, and here began to appear the first
symptoms of partisan division which
is conceded to exist in the ranks. Mr..
Dean said, among other things:
"The Alliance is non-partisan
in character but as full of politics as
an egg is of meat" Delegate Marion
Butler, president of the North Carolina
Alliance, in the course of his remarks
said whatever may be said of the
politics of some of its members the
Alliance has other objects rather than
politics." The Lex Non Scripta of
the Alliance prohibits members seek
ing official preferment but 1t Is claim
ed that this law Is being violated and
that lively contest Is in progress be-
tween the friends of the present in
cumbet, Mr.. Louieks of North Dakota,
and those of Mr.. G. w. Macune OF
Washington, ID. G., editor of The
Economist. The former is being
pushed forward by the Third party
element, the latter by the Democrats.
Delegate Beck of Alabama, who is O
leading light in the organization,
said: "This organization should be O.
Democratic organization if anything.
To be plain, it ought to stay out of
politics. That was the original idea.
But they won't, and since they will
dabble in politics say give the thing
a Democratic flavor. That's my idea.
We want Macune for president. He's
q Democrat. The present incumbent,
Louieks, is good man, but don't
think we want him.
On the other hand Hon. j. McDow-
ell of Tennessee is doing all he can to
secure the election of Louieks and
thus throw the organization into the
Populist party. The outcome of the
struggle is looked forward to with
interest. A night session was held.

KILLING AT HOMESTEAD.
Non Unionist Assaulted at Night and Kills
His Assailant in Self Defense.

PITTsBURG, Nov. 15.-One non
unionist was shot and almost instant
ly killed by another last night in the
bunk house of the Carnegie stlee
works at Homestead. The murderer
is Max Newman and the name of his
victim is supposed to be Maynard.
About two o'clock this morning the
occupants of The house behind the
fence were aroused by hearing two
shots fired followed by cry of agony
and then a deathlike stiffness. The
police began a search. While they
were thus engaged man walked
into the watch box of the mill police
with revolver in his hand.
III want to give myself up" he
said. 81 have shot man"
1t was Newman. He conducted the
officers to his lodging house, where
the inanimate form of man was lying
on the floor. "There he is. L think
he is a striker" said Newman. Ply
sicians were hastily sent for, but when
they reached the mill the man was
dead. On being searched mill pass
and check found on his person indi-
Gated he had been a mill worker, but
no one knew him except one nom
unionist, who said he had seen the
dead man working in the yard and
and thought his name was Maynard.
Newman came from New York and
has been working in the 32-inch mills.
He says Ie was assaulted while asleep,
and believing his assailant was a
striker he fired and killed him. No
one knows cause of the assault. New
man isheld to await the verdict of
the c0roner's jury.

large number who carry heavy stocks
that they would become insolvent. 1t
would thus create an unnecessary
panic and ought not to be attempted
at this time. Now as to free wool,
speaking as a manufacturer, may
say that with ample protection on the
manufactured article and regulating
wages at home and abroad, I can't
see that it would have any effect upon
the American manufacturer. AS re-
CARDS the results of the election,
think its effect will be serious. Manu-
facturers will make no fabric until
they have absolute orders. The sea-
son before us will be hard one and q
great deal of suffering is likely to be
entailed thereby. A great many peo-
pie will, 1 fear, be thrown out of EN- :.
ployment.

No Extra Session /.

New YORK, Nov. 15.-A Democratic
paper says 1t is permitted to announce
authorltively that 1t is the present
intention ofPresident-Elect Cleveland
not to call an extra session of congress
after his Inauguration in March. 1t
Is further annouced that in the esti-
nation at present of Mr.. Cleveland
and his closest friends, an extra see
sion would turn out to be profitless
proceeding. His friends say Mr..
Cleveland must have time after inaug-
uration to look over the ground.
There Is o natural objection also to
the reassembling of congress immedi-
ately after the Inauguration, on the
ground that 1t would have more or
less of an unsettled influence on the
business of the country.

MCKINNEY, Nov. 15.-The Democ-
racy celebrated last night with
torches, auvils, etc. Speeches were
made by both Clark and Hogg men.
Judge Sheriff. of Hunt, Hon. j. M.
Parsons, Hon. j. r. Cough, Captain
Bush and others addressed the open
air meeting. Hon. j. w. Throck-
morton spoke in the court house, his
throat preventing him from speaking
in the open air, on national affairs. He
was full of hope. He dwelt
briefly on state topics. He did not
believe that the strife should or would
be longer kept up. While he thought
he was right in supporting Clark, he
conceded to Hogg the right to rejoice.
For his part, he was true Texan,
and as such he hoped Governor
Hogg's administration would rebound
to the good of the land and the inter-
est of the state.

STEEL FOR CRUISERS.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Is. HI. G..
Frick, chairman of the Carnegie Steel
company, was at the navy depart
ment today to discuss with Secretary
Tracy the matter of steel deliveries
for naval construction. Much if not
all of the delay in the completion of
the new vessels has been caused by
the fact that steel of a peculiar quality
required for armor has not been de
livered in sufficient quantity To- keep
pace with construction. The secre-
tary says the difficulty lies in an in
sufficient plant for the production OF
the steel and is directing his attention
to the subject. Today Mr.. Frick told
him his company intended to meet
the requirements of the department
and had arranged to purchase and
erect large quantity of new N achin-

RUNNING ON SHORT TIME

LONDON, Nov. 15.-Mill owners

short time. This decision affects
100000 spindles and the shortening of
hours will greatly lessen the amount

in North and Northeast Lancashire
have joined in the half time move
ment. They have, however, resolved
to negotiate with the operatives to get
them to accept reduction in time,
which means reduction in wages.
