Boston Traveller: The Farmers
..tate Alliance recently held four
days session at Fresno, and all re-
ports made by delegates showed that
the organizati is daily gaining in
strength in every portion of the
state. Prominent speakers we're
present.
The most important action taken
by this delegate body was the close
union effected between the alliance
and the labor organizations of the
state.
The announcement of the affilia-
tion effected by the committee Of
conference was greeted with en-
thusiastic applause, and there was an
unanimous vote in favor of the adop-
tiOn of the report of the committee.
The following significant resolution
was also adopted: I'm general and
specific terms, both parties to this
agreement promise to aid the inter-
est of each others cause by all honor
able possible methods, believing our
interests to be IDENTICAL" Many of
the labor organizations have already
ratified the agreement, and no Op-
position is looked for from any of
them. In commenting upon this &C
ton the Reasoner, published at San
Luis Obispo, says: "Organized labor
and organized agriculture marching
under the same banner:-what do our

RESOLUTIONS
Adopted by the Executive Com
mittees of the Peoples Party
and the State Alliance.

Following is the full text of the
resolutions unanimously adopted by
the executive committees of the peO-
pies party and the state farmers ALI
ance at the joint session held at St.
Paul July 9Th, 1898:
ENDORSING MIR. DONNELLY.
''Resolved, That we have entire
confidence in Hon. IgnatiuS DOnnel-
ly. We believe that he has been and
is the best friend the farmers and la
bOrers have had in Minnesota, for
the last thirty years; and that dur
ing all that time he has been the
target of plutocracy, and their hire
lungs.
"FUs1ON."
Resolved, That we resent the i'm
putation that the peoples party of
the state of Minnesota in the last
campaign, "fused" with the demo-
cratic party, as an absolute, unjusti-
fable falsehOOd.
ENDORSING THE REPRESENTATIVE.
"Resolved, That we desire to ex-
press our cordial approval and hearty
endorsement of the new alliance pa
per, the REPRESENTATIVE, and we
ask every friend of reform in the
state to constitute himself commit
tee of one to work constantly to SuS-
tain it and increase it's circulation.
It is labOring, in a moderate and
temperate spirit, to unite all ele-
ments of reform, in this state, in
harmonious actiOn;it is owned by the
local alliances; 1t cannot and 1t eUill not
sell us out IN the crisis of campaign;
and if it is sustained, as it should be,
it will give us the state in 1894. We
ask every local alliance and every
peoples party club and industrial
league in the state, to 60 to work at
once and help build it up and make
it great power"
This was followed by the following,
also unanimously adopted:
'::Resolved, By the peoples party
state central committee, that our
chairman Mr.. T. J. Meighen, is here
by requested to solicit subscriptions
of stock to our paper, the REPREsEN-
TATIvE, from such persons as in his
judgment might be inclined to assist
our cause"
THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
Resolved, That we desire to say tt
the members of the peoples party of
this state, that the prospects for the
success of the principles our party
were never so bright as they are to-
day. The terrible collapse of the
business and commerce of the whole
country, and the great suffering
which is following and must follow
to the mass of the people, who labor
for living, are opening the eyes OF
the voters to the fact that the finan-
cial principles of the old parties are
destructive of the country, and they
are coming over to the peoples party
by the hundreds of thousands. We
have only to stand firm by our prin-
ciples to speedily achieve state and
national triumphs.
Resolved, That in the presidential
campaign of last year we told the
people that the great issue was the
financial one; and that the outcry of
both the old parties, about the tariff,
was simply sham fight, agreed upon
by them, for temporary purposes, to
divert public attention from the real

questions at issue. The result has
proved the truth Of our statements:
the tariff issue is now dead and
buried; the money issue is the sole
and only one before the people to-
day. We call the attention of the
voters to this to show how cunningly
they were humbugged, by the money
power, acting through the leaders of
two great agencies, the republican
and democratic parties.

The Montana Appointments Made Friday

WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE appointments
for Montana to-day we're surprise to
politicians from that state now In this city.
Mr.. Lyman. who was nominated for COL
leotor of internal revenue for Montana,
Utah and Idaho, was not an applicant for
the Office. Tho president chose him. how
ever, to settle long and sharp contest be-
tween fourteen different candidates from
these three states by going outside of the
list and naming Lyman. with whom he was
acquainted. In that sense. it WAS per-
sonal appointment of Mr.. Cleveland's as
appointments in some other cases have
been. Mr.. Lyman has been In New York
for several days, and il is not known
whether or not he will accept the Office.
The appointment OF David g. Browne.
for collector of customs at Fort Benton,
was ono which the Clark and DAILY factions
united in urging. Maginnis. Gibson and
other democrats also recommended Browne,
while Ex-Gov. Hauser strongly pressed
the appointment Of Patrick Gallagher. 1t
is not probable that other Montana Offices
will be filled Immediately.

mechanic gave them for their summary
dismissal was that he had received orders
to do so from st. Paul. The mon dis
charged were union mon. while non. union

Some of the discharged men claim that ever

shops here q year ago, union men have been
gradually eliminated from that depart

by the referee. who decided it no fight. Tho
purse will be divided. Bowen wanted to
finish. Bones in both of Burke's hands
were broken. Very little fighting was done
nfter the ninety third round. Bowen
from that time until the finish was the
agQ, essor whenever there was any fighting
to be done and landed now and thon on
Burke'a body, but was unable to do any
damage. Burke's hands were practically
useless. and he only prodded at Bowen to
keep him guessing. not with any iden of
being able to knock him out. In the 105th
round Bowen foil heavily from the mo-
mentum of his own weight, but did not
hurt himself. In response to the vehement
demands of the crowd, the referee in the
10Sth round announced that unless some-
thing WAS done in the next two rounds he
would stop the contest and declare il no
fight.
This only made both men cautious and
Bowen did not force the fighting. and at
the 10th round the refsree declared the
avail. He WAS unmarked and fresh. Burke
was badly punished about the body and
some OF ths bones of both hands seemed
br oxen and his wrists were much swollpn,

CHICAGO. April This was the warmest
day Chicago has experienced during the
month OF April In twenty years. The
mercury stood at eighty-two degrees and
hot wind blew from the south at the rate
OF thirty miles an hour. The heated spell
was broken this evening by hail storm
which passed over the southern portion OF
the city. breaking several thousand dollars
worth of window glass. This morning the
wind levelled the Indiana hotel. new frame
structure near the Worlds fair grounds.
As the building came down it flattened a
one-story building adjoining. Another
building holding panorama, which was
not sufficiently braced, WAS also turned
into pile of kindling wood.
The river, not to be- outdone by the
atmosphere. showed up about three o'clock
this morning with . tidal wave four feet
high. which tore several vessels from their
moorings and damaged them considerably.
The cause is said to have been sudden
squalls on the lake.

JOLIET, ILL.,. April 7.-An accident ac-
cident occurred on the drainage channel at
Romeo about six o'clock this evening, by
which nine mon were killed and six
severely wounded. severe wind and hail

house at the north end. The cantilever
was carelessly left unfastsnsd. and as the
wind increased to q gale IL started down
the track toward the engine house in which
the men had taken refuge. When the

top part too pied over on the engine house.
As result nine men were killed and six

badly wrecked that it ia a total loss. as is

WARRINGTON, April 7.--State department
officials are somewhat worried over the
question Of paying the expenses for enter
tanning the Spanish grandees and other
foreigners who will visit the Worlds fair.
Spanish royalty to participate in the OPEN
Ing ceremonies of tho exposition carried no
appropriation for the purpose named. 1t
simply states that "under his direction the
secretary Of state shall make suitable ar
ranRements for their reception and enter
tainment." and Secretary Gresham Is EN-.
deavorinR to determine where he eau secure
the money necessary to carry ont the in
structions Of congress. 1t is almost certain
that the necessary amount viii be taken
from the contingent fund OF the state de-
partment, leaving to congress the appropri-
alton of an amount sufficient to cover any
deficiency that may occur.
Arrangements for the reception and en-
tertainment of the distinguished guests
have not been completed, but will be in a
very short time. Two officers Of the navy
have been detailed to take charge of the
distinguished Spanish guests and escort
them to all tho places they will visit. The
lnfanta Eulalia's party will be in charge Of
Commander Davis. 1t will consist of the
infanta and her husband. Prince Antoine
the duke Of Tamanes grand chamberlain.
and two ladies in waiting. marquesa de

With the duke of Veraeua. who will be

his brother; the duchess of Veragua, the

party left Madrid yesterday and they are
due in New York April Is. The infanta
and her suite are due in America on April
20. They will come from Havana on a

neither party will attend the naval rendez-
