resolution introduced yesterday by Gen
eral Weaver" +"
l.. l.. Polk, president of the Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union, said: THE
Ocala platform, think, will be the basis
on which the conference will work. !"
on the National Cordage trust and the
National Union company, Colonel Polk
said: Il have never endorsed the com
pany, because it is contrary TO the spirit
of our organization to endorse or foster
monopoly, and this looks TO me like a
monopoly"
I. Y. Powderly said: Eve are here to
assist IN preparing political platform
upon which we can stand. We Will GER
tainly formulate such platform, includ-
ing all national points OF vital interest on
which we can harmonlze. and then, as a
natural sequence all the industrial organ
izations participating in the conference
will support in the coming elections that
political party which comes nearest TO
adopting our platform; While do not
hope for either of the old parties adopting
our platform, am for giving them all the
show in the world for them TO be with US
There is but little doubt that we can
harmonic on the three great questions OF
the hour-land, transportation and money;
but, still, il trouble should come up, be-
lieve that majority Of the delegates are
actuated by spirit of concession and con-
ciliation. In regard to the money ques-
tion, we want sound, flexible currency.

CHICAGO, Feb. % Congressman Simp-
son of Kansas who is here with the con-
gressional delegation viewing the world s
fair site. was interviewed on politics and
the St. Louis convention.
Both the subtreasury scheme and free
coinage are losing strength among the
farmers, " he said, land, in myopinion, the
former will be dropped and the latter
must give way to the tariff.
What will the st. Louis conference
do?"
1T will authorize the calling of ma
tional convention, and presidential can
didate will be placed in the field by the
latter on short platform, dealing with
the land question, the tariff, transporta-
tion and finance"
What position is likely to be taken on
the tariff questions"
can effort will be made to get more
radical declaration on the subject than
any party has yet ventured. We will go
as near to demand for absolute free trade

Weaver of Iowa is one of the favoriteS. He
is free trader aud believes in the doc

CONGRESSIONAL BUSINESS.

WASHINGTON. Feb. %. The present
week in congress is likely to be uneyent-
ful. Although both houses Will reassem-
bic tomorrow, 1t is improba bic that quo
rum OF congress will be present until the
following day. The Clagett-Dubols con-
tested election case will come up in the
senate and may consume several days in
its discussion The Paddock food bill Is
set down AS the next subject for consider
alton, and "A prolonged debate upon the
merits of the measure is inevitable. These
matters viii probably occupy the atten-
tiou of the senate during legislative week
with the possible addition of some inter
esting proceedings in eXeo udve session IN
connection with pending nominations.
When the house reassembles tuesday,
according to an understanding heretofore.
it will begin consideration OF iis
first election contest. namely, that
OF Craig vs.. Stewart. from Penn
sylvania Two other members of
the comittee on elections havs com
bined with the Democratic majority OF the
committee in recommending that Stewart
Republican be ousted and that Craig
Democratic) be seated Chairman O'Eer-
rail- says that the case should be decided
by the house in one day, but it Is possible
that the contest will last two days. The
Indian appropriation bill is the unfinished
business before the house. Considerable
progress was made in its consideration
during the two days OF the past
week when it was under dis
cussion. and it is thought that another
day will be sufficient to bring it to pas
sage by the house. Any time iH addition
toous legislative day devoted 10 the In-
dian appropriation bill will initiate
against private bills which are entitled TO
engross the whole of Friday when there Is
not some matter Of privilege or great i'm
portanca before the house Saturday is
what may be opening day" ia the popu-
lar branch Of congress, nothing being set
down for that day. A Democratic caucus
is a part of the program for the week, aud
it Is expected that IN this caucus the
party policy for the remainder OF the ses-
sion on the tariff and silver questions will
be discussed with vigor and earnestuess.

CANNIRALISM.

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb 22-A horrible story
of murder aud cannibalism, near Rays
Mill, has been received here. Lucy Presi-
dent, degraded and idiotic negro woman,
left her home and 9-months-old infant
in charge of her two elder children, Mark
and Linda, aged respectively IL and Q
years After her departure Mark pro-
cured an axe, deliberately knocked the in
fant on the head, and mangled its body in
different places. Not content with the
heinous crime that he had already com
mitted. he took fork and gouged out the
eyes of the little one, which he roasted,
and then taking slice out of either jaw,
he and his sister sat themselves down to
their guilty feast.

Whatever be the outcome OF the confer
ence. there is no doubt that there viii be
pretty hard fight over the platform. The
opinions of the delegates are so widely di-
versified that unless some of the parties
give up their principles altogether there
must OF necessity be row IN camp before
the platform is finally adopted. OF course
il IS possible that ali parties Will make
mutual concessions. and # such b. the
case then everything may pass off har-
moniously. But. as the case stands now
there is the farmer who believes that all
the Ills with which he is beset are caused
by a want OF money, while the prohibi-
tionists are firmly Of the opinion that II

RIFLES And TORPEDO BOATS.
Admiral Browns Report Of the
Work of the San Francisco in
the CHILEAN Revolution.
Two Valuable Lessons in the
Science of War were Taught
in that Bloody Strife.
rs. F. examiner Nov. 30, 1891. ]


Since his return from Chile in the
San Francisco, Admiral Brown has
preserved a complete reticence re-
garding his affairs toward all news
Oape- men, for the reason that the
Cove. nment report had not reached
the department in Washington.
However, Saturdays dispatches an
nounced its receipt by the Secretary
of the NAVY, and the Admiral feels
somewhat at liberty to speak with
less reserve.
During his stay in Chilean waters,
he was in constant touch with the
authorities in Washington, and his
conduct in affairs of Importance was
subject to the approval of the Govern
ment in all cases. During the last
days of the war, especially at the fall
of Valparaiso, he was in the thick OF
the turmoil, going ashore fearlessly
and proceeding to the men in power
to protest against the sacking of the
CITY and to secure the safety of lives
and property of North American resi-
dents there.
While he was returning from this
humane mission to the San Francisco
the troops on shore opened fire upon
the torpedo cruiser Lynch, which re-
turned the attack furiously, so thai
the little launch which bore the AID
miral was plunged into the creates
peril from the bullets and shells tina
flew thickly through the air. HI
reached his vessel in safety, however
though to the officers with him thu
escape seemed miraculous.
A NIGHT OF SLAUGHTER.
All that night the cracking of rifle
could be heard in the streets, as tn
victors made their holiday Q
slaughter. Over 800 victims wer
killed, and the fires and rapine con
tinued through the next night, s
that on board the San Francisco tn
firing sounded like a Fourth OF Jul
evening.
Admiral Brown acted with ths
energy and promptness which mar
his nature, when, at the battle of Pls
ella, he provided for the wounde

placed on cots to be examined and
treated by the surgeons.
1t was TO an Examiner reporter last
night that Admiral Brown made his

TROUBLE FEARED.

LoRDsBURe, M. NJ, Feb. l4.-The
report from the White Mountain In
dian reservation states that there are
fears of trouble owing to a compli
cation arising between the Indians
and the cowmeD on the reservation.
The trouble originally grew out of
the killing of squaw by Mexican,
The Mexican was afterwards arrested
and taken to the Clifton jail 1t is
understood that the interior depart
ment issued orders to Immediately
remove all cattle from the reserva-
ton. Unless some action is taken
trouble is feared owing to the excited
condition of the Indians.

meeting of the Keokuk Republican
Club the following was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That we earnestly hope
and ask the Republicans in the SEN
ate and house of representatives of
Iowa will pass local option or license
law, or so modify the prohibitory
law as to permit cities to grart
licenses,and take out of party politics
the issue that has been the cause of
Republican defeat in Iowa.
This action on the part of the
strongest Republic political club in
Southern Iowa is considered signifi-
cant by party leaders.

rHE ouEsrIoN or MoIsruER.

ABERDEEN, S. D., Feb. l4.-The
agitation on the question of mois-
ture for South Dakota is bringing to
light some queer ideas on the sub
ject, and with it all there comes the
suspicion that all is not as it should
be with the parties who have the
rain making patents for sale.
For several months party from
Goodland, Kas., has been in the state
trying to sell county rights, and he
got along swimmingly until a Cali
fornia rival questioned the fellows
scheme. The Californian said the
Kansan's plan would bring havoc
and disaster if followed out on the
county right or individual way, for
the reason that men would buy the
right to abuse it.
This has caused the people to stop
and think little. AS is well known
there are some sections in the state
always short ON moisture. Suppose
the people of Hyde, Faulk, Edmunds
and Mcpherson counties, which com
prise the dry belt, should shuttle the
clouds sufficiently to bring abundant
crops in those counties; these rain
storms, if of any extent, would food
the country east of the James river
and the well arranged country south
east. Another trouble possible is
that a storm manufactured in and at
the expense of one county may not
get action before it reaches another
section many miles away.
The fact seems to be that the peo-
pie of South Dakota are now trying
to solve full grown enigma. If the
rainmakers can do all they promise,
and at a small cost, the people can
wisely take hold of it. 1t would
seem, however, that some laws gov
erning the business should be enacted
before irresponsible parties get hold
of the secret.
