ALLIANCE LEADERS FOUND OUT.
Farmers Duped by Agitators in the Pay
of the Cordage Trust.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-The Inter Ocecn will publish
tomorrow two-column expose OF an alleged
scheme whereby the National Cordage trust,
through eonnivanee with a number of leading
Alliance officials, is attempting to get control OF
not only all the present Alliance stores in the
country, bu: 4,00J additional ones the trust pro-
poses starting. Statements are made by d. NJ. Ful-
wiler, state busineEs agent for the Alliance in
Illinois; Z. E. Whippie, OF the Whipple Harrow
Company, ST. Johns, Mich. and William Deer
ing d Sons, OF Chicago, that place certain prom
inent Alliance leaders in compromising posi-
ton. Alonzo Werdeli, a member OF the national
executive committee OF the Farmers Ailisnce
and Industrial Union, admits, so the Inter Ocean
says, that he is hired by the National Union
Company, the agency through which the cord
age company is operating, and also admitted to
T. +. Whipple that he thought the National
Cordage Company is behind or largely interested
in the National Union, as he (WardelD
knew that Mr.. Waterbury, president OF
the National Cordage Company. gave him
check 10 the Union company last summer for
sI25,0C1, and he tWardell) had it in his posses
sion several days, showing it t" the boys"
while in New York last June. This June meet
ing was a secret one the National Union had
called OF ell the state Alliance business agents

pany paying all the expenses.

National Economist; Gotten, state business agent
for the Illinois F. NJ. b. A; George G. Close.
state agent for Dakota; Alonzo Wardell; C.
Cole president OF the Michigan Ali
ance, aad business agents for a
dozen other states were present, and,
from Wardells statement 10 Whipplc, all were
conversant with the relation Of the Notional
Cordage trust to the scheme. Il is also stated
that Whipple had letter from President
Waterbury, OF the National Cordage company,
stating that they were largely interested in The
Union Company. and highly recommending il.
The rart of the scheme that has appealed so
powerfully to the Alliance agents is 4 commits

that the National Union Company is

A One Fer Cent. Grade Between
the Rockies and Cascades.

SPOKANE, Feb. 9-TSpeoial. President
j. J. Hill, of the Great Northern railroad,
arrived here today in n special car. The
object of his visit is to make arrangements
for the entry of his road into Spokane.
lie will receive the last report of his engi-
neers tonight. and tomorrow will probably
ask the mayor to call meeting of the
zitizens To q reporter Mr.. Hill talked
freely of his plans. He declared that
the rails would be laid into Spo-
kane and that the cars would be
running into this city by the first of
April. Then the country will be given
an example of rapid construction between
this city and the Columbia river. 175 miles
west OF here. Mr.. Hill says that he will
be running trains to the Columbia river
by the first of July. He stated that what
is known as the Crab Creek route
has been definitely chosen across
the Big Bend plateau. between Spokane
and the Columbia, as offering the easiest
grades and cheapest construction. "When
our line is completed TO the Columbia, said
he, 1.-The maximum grade between the
Rocky and the Cascade mountains will be
only per cent"
Mr. Hill declared that he would give
Spokane u rate on flour that would enable
the mills here to grind the bulk of wheat
produced in the Patouse. Potlatch, Walla
Walla and Big Bend sections.
Mr.. IIill was accompanied by Chief
Engineer Beckler, Peter Seims, of Shepard
d Seims, and his private secretary, Mr..
Richardson. To. the Posr-INTELLIGENcER
correspondent tonight Mr.. Hill said:
Everything will be determined by noon to-
morrow. our engineers are working hard on
their Cstimates. for, after all, the question
OF tho expense OF getting into spokane
is the most important one, though
there are other features that must also be taken
into account. In the first place, you have no
idea how hard your city is to get into and out
of. There is lite or no trouble in butldi ig in
be:e on a IA pc. cent grade, but
that is per cent. higher than we desire to
20. With the exception of this short section
OF q few miles on either side of your city, tho
maximum grade from the Columbia river to tho
Upper K0otenay is only six x-tenths of per cent.
Before leave Spokane everything Will be sot-
tied, you can depend on that. will stay hero
until we have given our engineers their orders
and work is started in earnest.
Now about our route west of this city through
the Big Bend; the Crab creek route is much the
best, aud will be followed. We intend to have
our CATS running TO the Columbia river by tho
lst day of July, and hope to be in spokane by
the middle of March or the 1st OF April
at the latest IL is only 200 miles from
here to the Columbia. The track is being laid
both ways now from sand Point, and the gap OF
ninety miles is being fast closed up As soon
the snow goes of in the Upper Kootensy, we
Will have it completed.

Hon, Daniel F. Beatty, the great organ

shipping more organs and pianos than
ever. In 1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a pen
nlIess plow boy, and by his indomitable
will ne has worked his way up so as to sell
so far, nearly 100000 of Beatty's organs
and pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to
dishearten him; obstacles in his way that
would have wrecked any ordinary man for
ever, he turns to an advertisement and
comes out of brighter than ever. His in
struments, as is well known, are very pop
ular and are to be found in all parts of the
world. We are informed that during the
next ten years he intends to sell 100000
more of his make, that means a business
of $20000,000 five average them at $1OO
