The State Alliance.

The State Farmers Alliance conclud-
ed its sixth annual meeting in Rich
mond yesterday evening, after a two
days session. The constitution was so
amended as to provide that the
chairman of the executive committee
shall hereafter be elected by the alliance
and not by the committee. This posi-
ton has been held for the last year or
two by Capt. L. r. Cooke, the peoples
party nominee for Governor.
Major Mann Page declined reelection
as president of the State alliance. DIR.
B. l.. Winston, of Hanover, a staunch
democrat, was elected president, and
the following other officers were elected:
Vice-president, G.. w. B. Hale, ofFrank-
lin county secretary and treasurer, j.
J. Silvey ; lecturer, J. w. keyser, of
Page assistant lecturers, Mr.. Rock, OF
Northumberland Ed. l.. Newberry, of
Bland, and J. s. Wells, of Henry.
Mr.. Julian Rutfin, of Hanover, was
chosen chairman of the executive COM
mittee, to succeed Capt. Cooke, and
Messrs. ]. Haskins Hobson and S. Allen
Olney were put on the committee also.
Mr.. c. II. Pierson was elected dele
gate to the supreme council of the
farmers alliance, which meets in Har-
risburg, Pa, August 10.
The alliance seemed to feel the imam
cial depression. The salary ofthe pres
ident was reduced from $3.50 to 500 ;
that of the secretary from 81, $50 to $3.50,
and it was decided to pay the chairman
of the executive committee 81, 100 per
annum.
TO the surprise of many Major Mann
Page declined a reelection as president.
The secret of this is said to be that last
year the alliance took some steps that
were Objectionable to the democratic
members, and they have charged open
ly that the organization was being con-
Quoted in the interest of the people
party. Many democrats have withheld
their support, and the alliance has
weakened considerably.

Another Train Robbery.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug 1.-THE north
bound express train on the st. Louis
and San Francisco Railroad was held
up and robbed by two men at q point
about three miles west Of st. James,
Mo-, at 8 o'clock this morning. The
robbers are supposed to be tramps and
boarded the front platform of the bag
gage car when the train stopped at q
water tank few miles south of St.
James. On account of the sultry night
the express messenger allowed the
door Of his car to remain open and the
robbers had no difficulty in entering it.
They placed a revolver at the messen-
gers head and ordered him to open
the safe. The messenger surrendered
the contents of a small local safe con-
tanning money packages for stations
along the road. The through express
safe was locked and the combination
unknown to the messenger. Alter
some argument he convinced the rob-
bers of the fact and they pulled the
bell rope. AS the train slack ened
speed the robbers leaped from the plat
form and disappeared.

The Breckinridse-PolIard Affair

Miss Pollard, who last Saturday, in
Washington, entered suit against Con-
gresham Breckenridge for breach of
promise, was visited by reporter in
that city yesterday.
Miss Pollard was very averse to an
interview. This, she said, was by the
advice of her lawyers, and she had
nothing to add to what was in the paper
they filed in the suit. She would not
even deny for publication any of the
stories about her that are so diametri
cally opposed.
81 would much rather you would not
say anythir g at all about me-" she
said. My position is public enough
without making it any worse.
7 am not by any means all
the sorts of woman 1 have been
described. When l go on the stand /
think that many people will change
their views about me and my position
in this whole affair. Anyone can see
from the character of the lawyers who
have undertaken my case that have
good case. They would not have taken
it if it had not been such. But at the
same time I do not care to make any
statement now. What could l say that
would not be open to misinterpretation?
The publicity l have already had thrust
upon me has not been pleasant or well
come, and the less you say about me in
the papers the more 1 shall like it."
1t has been very generally supposed
that Mr.. Breckenridge was native
born Kentuckian, but the fact has de-
veloped that he was born in Philadel
phia, and was two or three years old
before he was taken to Kentucky by
his parents. 1t is said that he has al
ways been extremely anxious for some
reason to conceal this fact in the con-
gressional directory.

Fun WITH HIS WIFE.-Robert Downing, a
painter, of Washington, has most remarka-
BILE idea of humor. He is at present under ar
rest on charge of attempting to poison his
wife by putting half cup of rough-on-rats
in the cup from which she is in the habit of
drinking at night Downing does not deny
the charge, but at police headquarters e1-
planned his action by saying that he wanted
to have some fun with his wife
Mrs. Downing had been separated from h,r
husband for some time, and lives with her
children. Tuesday she spent the day at
Colonial Beach, and after her return, late in
the evening she was awakened by her
drunken husband pounding On the door in
the street below-about one o'clock. She
called an officer from the window and had
him arrested. Before returning to bed she
poured out some water from a pitcher on a
stand at the head of the bed, and was about
to drink it, when she noticed that the water
in the cup was blue in color. She then in
yestigated further and found half a box of
rough-on- rats in the room She followed her
husband to the station then and preferred a
charge of attempted murder against him. The
case came up in the police court yesterday
morning, but was continued until an eIami-
nation of the substance in the cup cen be
made by the chemists Of the Agricultural De-
paltment.

THURSDAY EVENING. AUG. II 1898

THE exports of agricultural nipple
ments from this country to England
and Germany have increased twenty
Der cent. during the last two years, and
are sold in those countries cheaper than
they are at home. Could there be
more conclusive proof of the absurdity
of the assertion that high tariff on
such articles as those referred to is nee
essary for the support of the factories
in which they are made? But with
such object lessons before their eyes,
there are democrats inCongress who say
the bill which imposes high tariff tax
not only on agricultural implements,
but on every thing else farmer has to
buv. and which tax is added to The
price of such articles. must not be re-
moved at present, but must continue to
Cypress the people for an indefinite
period, and that, too, though they were
elected upon the explicit promise that
If should be removed at the earliest
possible moment.

THE ONLY benefit the United States
have derived from the Boring Sea court
of arbitration, is that resulting from the
fact that the large sum in which they

it is, is great deal less than the cost of

failure to resort to arbitration. And
then, too, a good fall is always better

THE administrations hand is not only
felt in the halls of Congress, but in the
Virginia democratic convention. In
ouestionably wrong as they may be, the
majority in both the bodies referred to
are in favor of the free coinage of silver,
and yet, judging from indications,
neither will so declare themselves, be
cause the President has declared fol-
gold. But it has reached that condi'
ton in representative bodies now, that
it is not what they do, but what they
do not do. that is surprising.
