IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Annual Meeting of the State Far
mers Alliance.
The next annual state convention
of the State Farmers Alliance will be
held on the
SECOND TUESDAY IN JANUARY,
1894, in the city of Minneapolis, in
the Lumber Exchange hall. It will
probably continue for three days.
Addresses will be delivered by S. M.
Owen, w. w. Erwin, John Arnold
Keyes, and others. While the terri
BILE financial conditions will keep
many away we nevertheless hope for
a good attendance. The meeting
will be a very important one; and
many important subjects will be con-
sidered. Arrangements will be made
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1894-01-03

for reduced railraad rates and moder-
ate board at hotels. Let all hands
turn out and make it a love feast.
Besides the speakers named short
addresses are expected from Genl. T.
ii. Barrett, Hon. Chas. Canning. L.
G. Long, j. I. Vermilya, r. J. Hall
and host of others.
When 1t costs the entire crop of sac
acres Of acheat-land to pay the expenses of
the journey from the Red River Valley to
Minneapolis and return, we expect
many local alliances will go unrep-
resented. But let them club togeth-
er and unite to send one man to rep
resent several; or let them select a
represent ative from some alliance
nearer the place of meeting. Don't
let our enemies suppose that poverty
has stamped out of you the spirit to
resist oppression.
The selection Of Minneapolis was
made by the State Executive Com
mittee and afterwards approved by
meeting of all the alliance men pres
ent at the hearing on Nov. 23d, be-
fore the railroad commissioners. Ap-
plication was made to St. Paul for
hall, but the mayor would not even
answer the secretary's letter; while
the Minneapolis authorities prompt
ly replied, as they did last year, offer
ing US free hall. While we feel
grateful to Minneapolis for this act
of courtesy; some of US think that
the farmers should get all they can
out of the Mill-City; and that the
meeting of 500 delegates and alter
mates with the money they will spend
will make the free hall wise invest
ment.

partment of State has received the first
ofiiciai information Of the operations OF
the British naval forces at Bluefields.
near the mouth of the Nicaragua canal.
It came In the shape Of a despatch from
United Suites Minister Baker at Mana

The Minister says that the United
States Consul at San Juan del Norte.
Mr.. Braida. telegraphs him that soldiers
from the British warship Cleopatra have
been landed at Bluefields. and strongly
urges that a United States naval vessel
be sent there at once There is no ex-
PLANTATION in the Minister'S despatch OF
the reason for the landing of British
forces.
The preceding reports of Consul Brai-
da show that when the Nicaraguan Gov
eminent forces occupied B.uefields, the
reigning Mosquito chief appealed to the
British Consul at San Juan del Norte
for protection. n the question of In
terest at this stage Of affairs ID
whether the British troops have been
landed to afford that protection to the
Mosquitoes. or whether the landing
was made to protect British citizens
only.
Senator Morgan has reported from Com.

BRIDGE TRUSTEES MAY Co.
State Senate Passes Bradley's
Bill Removing Them.
Figures Quoted to Show Overvalua-
ton OF Property Acquired.
(By AsJociated Press.)

ALBANY. March Estate Senator
Daniel Bradley this morning put In more
plain words his charges against the
present Brooklyn Bridge Trustees. He
said:
II have stood the attacks of persons
who say I haven't any proofs long
enough. II anything is needed to show
that the affairs have been grossly mis-
managed. Just look at the prices paid for
property to build what Is now known as
the plaza.
The records Of the trustees show that
they paid $4,000 0 for property acquired
that by the books of the city assessors
was shown to be assessed at only $3.50. 900.
or two and one-third times less than its
appraised value: and yet all property in
Brooklyn Is assessed Tor at least one
tenth more than you can sell 1t for. II
is easy to show that the trustees vast
ed In that one transaction $780, 900 of the
taxpayers money.
why, the Brooklyn City Railroad
gave SO. 900 for a piece of church prop
erty on the plaza for q terminal station.
A few months after the bridge trustees
paid $4,000 for the same property. and
now they have granted to this same
Railroad Company. without compensa-
ton. the right to lay tracks on this very
ground. I shall present these and other
facts to the Assembly Committee, II
there Is an attempt to stop the bill
there"
The Senate passed Mr.. Bradley's bill.
The vote on the bill was 10 ayes to
nays.
When the bill was up for final pass
& e Senator Cofey moved for recon-
initial.
Senator Bradley objected, and during
the course OF the debate said: II have
been threatened by some of the people
but / am ready to meet them outside
as plain Dan Bradley"
Senator Cantor made a defense OF
the bridge trustees n Senator Bradley
said: II to show up this corrupt
ness In municipal affairs. this stealing
from the peoples pockets. Brooklyn ID
dominated by a disreputable lot OF loot
ers. and we must begin somewhere to
clean them out"
