MEMPHIS, Tenn. Nov. 1.-THE na-
tional Farmers Alliance and Indus
trial union were in executive session
all day yesterday and the press cen.
sors had little to give out Since
ad tournament it was learned that the
two elements, Democrats and Popu-
lists, are still struggling for the mas
terry. aud i. was learned that some
acrimonious discussions were INDUCED
in.
The Populist element seems domin-
ant at present and is seeking to GUST
Mr.. J. +. Tillman, of this state,
member of the national executive
committee. Mr.. Tillman's offence is
that after his CONDUCTORS had
sent out zoo official circulars
advocating the election of General
Weaver. he used his stationary and
official position to send out an equal
number of circulars advocating the
election of Cleveland. Mr.. Tilman
was also general manager of the ma
tional literary bureau, and the
charges amount TO a breach of faith.
His circular letter was to the effect
that Alliance men could not hope for
they should support Mr.. Cleveland
and thus defeat the force bill Mr..
Tillman does not deny the charge, but
rather boasts of it. As Democrat, he
said, he did only what the third
party members of the organization had
done in assisting his side. An investi-
cation of Me-. Tillman's conduct was
at one time proposed. but later in the
day other tactics were adopted. Mr..
MIR. Tillman's term of office as exec.
utive member continues another year
and an effort may be made to legis-
late him out of Office. The condition
was changed yesterday and another
executive board must be elected. This
throws out c. w. Macune also and
members claim that it is "A clear triumph
for the Populite wing and insures the
election of Loucks as president.

PReLArEs IN CONFERENCE.
The Heads of the Catholic Church in
America Hold Secret Debate.


New YORK, Nov. Fin the marble
palace of Archbishop orrigan on Mad
ison avenue to-day the conference of
the prelates of the Roman Catholic
church of America began and it may
have results of far reaching char
acter. The conclave is hedged about
with privacy and the avenues of pnb-
lie information are few. Cardinal
Gibbons is said to be presiding and the
occasion gains unusual interest from
the presence of Archbishop Satolii.
the pope's delegate TO this country.
Archbishop ireland is present and it
is thought he will meet all inquiries
relative to his views ON the American
school question.
The educational question. it is be-
lieved, is being thoroughly considered
by the conference. Among other mat
tiers it is understood that Archbishop
Katzer of Milwaukee, will ask the
conference to accurately define the
term secret society. This Is in
Difference to the wishes of the German
Catholics of the West and is
said to have in view the Knights
of Pythias, the United Workmen and
other societies without spiritual direc
ton which have profited by the iiber-
ality of the church, while in conse-
quence of this liberality the benevo-
lent societies which have placed them
selves under the direction of the church
have not prOspered to a corresponding
d"0ree.

TACOMA, Aug. IA sensational murder
and suicide occurred here this morning.
Henry Harris, tailor, who, until year
ago. had a shop at Tacoma. but removed to
Spokane, killed his daughter, Eta Harris,
employed as Typewriter in McNaughrs
detective agency, and thea stabbed himself
at the Cleveland lodging-house where the
girl lived. He shot four times at her with
3S-caliber revolver, missing her each time,
one bullet cutting lock from her hair. lie
then took pocket-knife from his pocket
and stabbed himself three times. The
daughter got up and he. seeing that she
was not dead, drove the knife up to its hilt
in her breast and ran out of the room into
the street, staggering as he ran. On the
stret-corner he fell and died.
Some three years ago the girl became ac-
quanted with a travelling salesman of Port
land named Benton with whom she became
infatuated. Soon afterward she went TO
Seattle TO work and then to Spokane, where
she received many letters from him impoT-
tuning her to return to Seattle. The father
got hold of one letter and meeting Benton
on the streets of Tacoma soOD demanded
that lie should marry the girl. Benton re-
fused, casting reflections on her character.
Ever since then the old mans mind has
seemed unsettled.
The girl at one time, encouraged by her
father, planned TO kill Benton. but the lat
ter was warned.
The family removed to Spokane, the girl
remaining here at work. The father return
ing six weeks ago has been watching the
girl closely. lie visited her room every
morning, AID when be ran out, after killing
her and stabhing himself, cried: az got her
