ing to President Harrison:
To His Excellency Benjamin Harrison-Sir:
In your annual message to congress last year
you presented the subject OF the Nicaragua
canal and recommended certain wise and favor
able action by congress to encourage and pro-
mote its building and completion. AS the time
when congress will reconvene draws near we
desire to express our thankful appreciation of
your former Recommendation, and to ask that
IN you coming annual message you again pre-
sent this subject, and even more specifically
present the reasons why this country should
not only encourage its citizens TO CO.
operate in aiding this great enterprise, hut
also that congress shall take such action
as will insure the early competition Of the
work at reasonable cost, and taat large
and controlling interest in the canal b. retained
by our government. In our jud sment the pres
ent administration could not in any other way
do that which will so rebound to the prosperity
OF this people and country and so much IN its
own lasting praise, as i'll its closing days to Sc
cure definite, practical action by congress with
reference to this great work. While this North

ested in the early completion OF the Nicaragua
canal. yet the people of the entire United states
and OF the world are in reality none the less in
terested. He who, by his position OF power and
influence, is enabled to expedite this achieve

FIGHTING TO RULE THE EALLIANCE,
Populists Hold Their Own, Though
Dem ocrats Make a Vigorous Effort

MEMPHis. Tenn, Nov. l6.-The National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Assocja-
ton was in session today. Since adjourn
ment il has been learned that the two
elements of Democrats and Populists are
still struggling Tor the mastery. and that
acrimonious discussions were INDUCED in.
The Popuiist element seems dominant at
present and is seeking to oust J. F. TILL

tional executive committee. His ofFense
is that after his coadjutors sent 300 official
circulars advocating the election OF Gen.

WEAVER SEES A STORM AHEAD.

He Says the Suffering People VIII OBJ
tain No Relief From Cleveland.
DEs MONIES. Ia. Nov. 16.-Gen. Weaver,
candidate for president on the Peoples
party ticket, today issued lengthy adj
dress to the voters of that party. He de-
ciares that the Peoples party is but little
behind the Republican party in the num-
ber of states carried; that it will doubtless
hold the balance of power in the United
States senate; that it has doubled its ad-
herents In the house, secured control of
number Of state governments, holds the
balance of power in q majority of the
states, and has gained large following in
every state of the South. Weaver says
the almost annihilation of the Republican
party organization leaves the former adj
herents of that party free to align them
selves with the ant-monopoly and indus
trial movement. The accession of the
Democratic party to power is the result of
the violent reaction and deliberate judg-
ment of the American people. The lead
ers of the Democracy, he declares, are
without any well defined policy except
that of contemptuous disregard for every
element of reform within the ranks of
their own party and among the people at
large.
The new administration will ignore the
three great questions of modern times, re-
lating to land. money and transporta-
ton, and III fact, the force of the new
regime will be exercised tn prevent reform
in these important matters. The urgent
demand for free coinage OF silver is to be
disdaintully ignored, and. in contempt of
the doctrine of Andrew Jackson. European
aristocrats are to be permitted TO d ctate
our financial policy. The uniform legal
tender currency of the government is to be
sacrificed, and serious attempts will be
made to force the people to return to the
fraudulent system of state bank issues.
In Gen. Weaver's opinion the violent
political storms of 1855 and 1892 signify
the turbulent condition of the political
atmosphere. foreshadowing an approach
ing crisis. He urges that the work of
organization be pushed with energy in all
the states.

THE MAY TODHUNTER MURDER.
Frank Began and Wife Held for Trial
Strong Evidence Against Them.

Strong Evidence Against Them.
NEW WESTMINSTER. Nov 16.-TSpecial. l.
The preliminary trial of Frank Began and
wife, charged with the murder of May
Hunter, alias Todhunter. in February last,
was concluded this evening, and resulted
in both being held to stand trial at the
next assizes. The evidence against them
is purely circumstantial, but very strong.
Began's wife had rooms in May Tod
hunters house for several days before the
murder. but left the evening before, going
with her husband to the Eickhoff house.
where they took room and retired at $3.50
p. m. At $3.50 on the morning of the MUIR
der they were seen on the street close to
May Todhunter's house. and the next
morning they left town on the first train,
went to the interior and disappeared for
six months. Among the things stolen at
the time of the murder was diamond
ring and gold bar brooch with three jew
els in it. One of the witnesses. Mrs.
Lyons. from Ashcroft, swore that Mrs.
Began wore jewelry exactly similar several
days before her arrest. The police cannot
discover what has been done with this jew
elry. and the fact of their making away
with it tells heavily against them. The
case will not come on trial before July.

THE EXTRA SESSION.
Carlisle Says It IL Possible, but w. I
Wilson strongly Favors 1t.

WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. Ex-senator
Carlisle in an interview today put aside
the talk of his going into the cabinet as a
thing not to be discussed. Speaking of the
prospect of an extra session he said it
would all depend upon undeveloped con-
ditions. He had seen Cleveland and was
satisfied it was not possible for him to tell
yet what would be done. The financial
affairs of the government may be in such
shape as to make an extra session impera-
tive. 1t appears probable We shall find
not enough money in the treasury for the
needs of the government. We shall have
to see what congress does at this session.
If they do not repeal the Sherman law re-
latng to the purchase of silver and take
such other action as the situation may de-
mand We may be swamped. Upon these
things depend the calling of an extra ses-
sion.
Another view of the case is taken by
Representative Wilson, of West Virginia,
chairman of the late national Democratic
convention, who. before leaving Washing
ton City today for New York, said:
think it would be most impolitic to place .
new tariff bill before the country just previous
to the elections of 1894. For this reason favor
the extra session idea, and think the sooner tho
proposed tariff changes go into effect the better
will the final result be for our party.

GREAT NORTHERN QUARANTINE
State Board Of Health Seeking to Pre-.

OLYMPIA, Nov. 16-ISpecial. State
Treasurer-Elect Bowen. who is a member
OF the state board of health, went to Seat

lative to the quarantine of workmen on
their line of road who have been exposed
to smallpox and who. it is feared, will
scatter over the state on the completion of
the road. carrying infection. The health
laws of the state are lamentably defective
in provisions for dealing with cases of this
kind.
Secretary Armstrong. of the state board
of health, said this evening that no board
has been gwen jurisdiction over cases of
contagious diseases in country districts.
Unless the Great Northern can keep the
men who have been exposed from leaving
the line until the danger of spreading the
disease is past, it has been suggested that
commissioners of counties along the
Sound will be compelled to assume extra
ordinary powers, and unite with the city
boards to stay the threatened progress Of
the disease.
