Business Men Take Steps Toward
Feeding the Hungry.

Pretenses, Fatally shoots Himself.
Special to the REcoRD-UNIoN.

FRESNO, Aug. 23.-More than usual ac-
tivity was manifested in the labor world
to-day. A number of prominent busi-
ness men met to take immediate steps
toward feeding hungry men. Mr.. Par
sons, who has been in charge of the free
labor bureau, said that the vineyardists
will not begin picking for some days, and
the men are absolutely hungry. without
money and without food. The fact that
they had maintained good order, al
though many of them had not had a
square meal for a week, was pretty good
evidence That the men were w-abiding.
In a short time 500 was raised, and COM
mittee appointed to go to the City Trus-
tees and tell them to provide one hundred
shovels at once, and three or four over
seers for the men. Then another COM
mittee was appointed to proceed at once
to rent or buy large stove and boilers,
dishes and cooking-utensils, and set it
up at the free labor bureau in room fur
nished free of rent. Then to buy beef,
cabbage, potatoes, onions and bread
enough to make seventy-five gallons of
rich soup, and take it down to the free
labor bureau. Another committee fur
nished tables and benches, SO the men
could eat.
All of this was accomplished within an
hour after the meeting adjourned. A fire
was soon raging in the stove, and from
the ranks of the laboring men corps of
cooks were obtained, and they were told
to go into the kitchen and make enough
soup to fill every man. They went to
work. and soon several large boilers were
bubbling with soup.
The throng of hungry men on the out
side understood what was going on, and
viewed it with most lively satisfaction.
Many of them had not tasted food since
the soup dinner of yesterday, and some
not since before that.
About the same time wagons loaded
with shovels appeared, and it was plain
that eating and working were going hand
in hand. The citizens are going to fur
nish the soup meals, the City Trustees
furnish the shovels and overseers, and all
men who get tickets for meals will be re-
quired to clean alleys and streets, work.
ing four hours day for three tickets.

FARMERS ALLIANCE.
General Weaver Addresses an Assem-
bIage OF go, 900 People,

blage OF 10000 People.
MOUNT GRETNA (Pa.), Aug. 23.-The
largest crowds since the opening of the
National Encampment of the Farmers
Alliance assembled to-day. In the main
auditorium William Benninger advo-
Gated free coinage of silver in Pennsyl-
vania Dutch language. He was followed
by j. NJ. Thompson, late lecturer of the
Pennsylvania Farmers Alliance.
When General Weaver of Iowa arose
to deliver an address this afternoon there
were probably 10000 people on the
grounds. He said the situation of to-day
was not caused by the election of Demo-
cratic administration. That administra-
ton was still enforcing Republican laws,
and interpreting the laws the same as
d1d Harrison. Such a course could not
be brought upon a country by mere
change of administration, nor is it the re-
suit ofthe Sherman law. The laws have
been violated. A Republican Secretary
OF the Treasury and Democratic Secre-
tary of the Treasury did not comply with
the law. They paid out gold. and the
Secretary of the Treasury aided foreign
conspirators when he had it in his hands
to prevent this panic. This is the real
cause of these hard times.
AT the close of the late war the people
were comparatively free from debt. There
was more prosperity then among farmers
OF the North, in spite of the loss of those
near and dear to them, than there has
been ever since. The reason of this pros
perity and good feeling was because there
was an immense volume of paper cur
rency in circulation. The financial svs-
tenn which contracted the currency is re-
sponsible for the loss of thousands of
homes, innumerable suicides and the
corruption of the morals of the people.
AS result of that crime perpetrated ON
our people from 1856 to 1873, British capi-
tai has come in and got control of fac
tories, railroads and finances. Scarcity
Of money Is what is the matter. When
the farmers come into power, and they
are going into power, they will give more
money. The farmers will make dollar
that will stay at home. They don't want
money that will go abroad. That is
what is the matter with gold.

The desertion of the town by the employ

ETC., works extreme hardships upon the
laboring class. A message has been sent
to the Georgia Congressional delegation
by relief committee, saying there is i'm
mediate need of provisions and money.

The Feeling Daily Becoming More In

PARIS, Aug. 23.-The Aigues Mortes
affair and its consequences in Italy have
caused excitement in several places in
France where Italians are working. and
at Marsailles, where the Italian colony is
greatly agitated, the police have taken
strong precautions to prevent conflicts.
In fight at Rosny-Sur-B Bois, outside
Paris, yesterday, between French and
Italian navies, the latter attacked the
French with knives. but gendarmes in
terfered, arrested several Italians and
stopped the fight.

Details of the Proposed Revolutionary
Movements.

Details of the Proposed Revolutionary
Movements
PANAMA, Aug. 23.-Documents found
on the persons of DR.. Perez, national
leader of the Liberal party of Colombia,
and General Modesto Garces, both Of
whom were arrested in Baranquilla, give
details of the proposed revolutionary
movements against the Governments Of
Colombia and Venezuela, and fully con-
firm the stories already cabIed to Amer
lea. They form a valuable supplement
to documents seized when the Liberal
headquarters were captured and together
completely expose the revolutionary
conspiracy. These documents show that
a general revolution was planned and
that there were to have been simultane-
Gus uprisings in all the States against the
Administration. President Nunes and
Vice-Presidents Casanas and Rosas, fol-
lowers of Andeza Palacio, the exiled
ex-Dlctator of Venezuela, were import
ant factors in the proposed revolution.
From their hiding place in Curacao they
were to attend to the work OF supplying
the revolutionists with arms and landing
them on the coast of the Caribbean Sea.
Men supplied with these arms, under the
command of Casanas and Rosas, were to
invade Magdalela and these officers were
also to direct the movements in Santander
and along the Venezuelan frontier. All
these movements were to be made in CO.
operation with the dynamiters of Baran-
quilla. who, in addition to blowing up
the public buildings in that city and the
Presidents house, were also to seize the
city OF Cartagena. By this movement it
was designed to obtain control of the
fleet of steamers on the Magdalena River
and thus be enabled to send munitions
to their partisans in the interior. 1t is
believed that more than S25O,000 had been
raised and deposited abroad subject to the
order of DR.. Perez, and this money was
to have been used to pay the expenses of
the proposed revolution.

Threatening Attitude.
New YORK, Aug. 23.-The longshore-

ing attitude toward the Italians who are
being used to fill their places. Nicholo

Ineligible. was roughly handled, but
not before clearing his pathway with an
inevitable stiletto, and had led for some
distance an exciting chase, in which over
200 strikers participated. Later a party
of six Italians leaving the wharf of the
Clyde line were attacked by number of
longshoremen. In the general melee that
followed several were wounded by the
paving stones and clubs that flew through
the air. Knives were freely used and
three Italians badly hurt.

Special to the REcoRp-uN1oN.

LONDON, Aug. 23.-Prince Bismarck
made another speech, this time at Kis-
singer, to party of admirers who went
there to see him. He made some rather
caustic comments on the policy of the
Government, and said he observed that
at recent conference of the Finance
Ministers of the several States at Frank
fort, the Presidents chair was occnpied
by Secretary of the Imperial Treasury,
who is a subordinate bureaucrat. This
he declared was unconstitutional. The
Emperor and Chancellor are only execu-
tive officers OF the Bundesrath and Reich
stag, and neither of them has a right to
attempt more than to publish laws en-!
acted by those bodies. The Constitution
cost hard work and blood aud lives
enough, and it made him anxious to see
it meddled with.
The Times publishes a dispatch from
Berlin severely commenting upon what
1t terms Bismarck's attempts to excite IN
dividual Diets against the new regime.
and attributes Bismarck's outbursts to
the bitter jealousy he feels in finding
that Germany does so well without him.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 23.-In the trial
of actor NJ. B. Curtis for the murder of
Policeman Grant, Joseph Holtz, the

fed the pistol found near Grants body
as the one which was brought to him a

to Holtz. He identified the pistol found
near Grant as the one he picked up.
This evidence is regarded as important,
as theStrong point of Curtis defense was
that he never owned a black handled
pistol like the one found.

Correspondence Relative to the Expul-

WASHINGTON, Aug %. = There has
been considerable correspondence con-
corning the forcible expulsion Of Italian
miners from Cripple Creek, Col, be-
tween Secretary Gresham, Governor
Waite and Baron Fava. Italian Minister
at Washington, but it is likely the ex-
PLANTATION offered the Minister by the
State Department and Governor Waite
will be satisfactory to the Italian Gov
ernment. and that the incident will be
declared closed. After correspondence
with Governor Waite, Secretary Gresham
wrote Baron Fava that the attack was not
due to race prejudice, but the feeling
against cheap labor. When the Amer-
cans found themselves underbid by the
Italians they took forcible measures of
securing the ends they desired, but did so
with no feeling against the unpopular
wOrkmen as Italians. Gresham ex-
pressed regret for the occurrence and
hoped 1t would not disturb the friendly
relations between the two countries.
