President Loucks DzveIIs on the Enormi-
ty of Issuing More Bonds.
There was a large audience present in
Representative hall last night at the
open meeting of the National alliance to
hear President Loucks who il was an
nounced would deliver the principal
address.
The meeting was presided over by
Marion Butler of North Carolina, who
introduced the speaker
President Loucks talked about the
financial condition Of the country and
said
These periodical panics are legiti-
mate results of an insufficient volume of
money circulation, compelling vast
credit system Of doing business, and the
attempt to pay higher rate Of interest
than industries can afford. During the
special session of congress it was stated
and not denied, that the Indebtedness Of
our people individual, municipal, state
and national, aggregated $3O,O0O,OOO,
OOO The mere thought Is appalling.
How is it to be paid1 The wealth of the
nation is less than $4,000. 100000. When
we made that immense gain in wealth
of $4,000. 100000 in ten years
our annual increase was only about per
cent If the average Of interest on our
Indebtedness is only per cent it would
amount to $2.100.O00,0O0 a year. Sup
nose our annual increase of wealth should
continue at 3 per cent (Which it is not
doing) it would not pay the interest alone
on our debt. How can the principal be
paidc Ut never cam 1t Is physical, q
financial, a mathematical impOssibility.

is THE ORDER FAILING
Which Accounts For the General
Reticence.
A Flood of Cheap Oratory, but
No Facts.

The Alliance speakers last night
roasted the newspapers for not publish
ing fuller reports of their meetings and
distorting their news. The latter charge
lacks the necessary element Of truth,
and if there be any grounds for the
former, the responsibility rests upon the
Alliance men themselves. The present
meeting is a case in point. lit is q fact
the newspaper reporters of Topeka have
been following Secretary Duncan ever
since he arrived here on Monday beg
ging him for some data and statistics
with which to embellish their reports,
but he has regularly put them off.
Whether he is ashamed of the showing
his reports would make. or whether he
he has no figures to give, the reporters
have been unable to learn. Another
thing in the way of more complete ace
counts of the alliance meetings is the
custom of their officers and speakers to
spin out their utterances to an enormous
length. If they would practice brevity,
they would have no cause to complain of
newspaper unfaIrness. AS for the set
speeches made in public they are not in
teresting and the public doesn't want
them. What is wanted are the facts and
figures on the condition Of the order
This mornings session was devoted
chiefly to haering the reports of the dele
gates from the several states. Senator
James Shearer reported for Kansas. and
the report of each state was discussed as
1T was presented.
When the reports had all been re-
ceived the various committees were
called together and the doors were
thrown open to the general public.
There were about three hundred people
in Representative hall when J. H. Nc
Dowell, of Nashville Tenn. editor of
the TOiler, was Introduced and made "a
political speech. He said that the Grover
Cleveland-JOhn Sherman com bination
are making more votes for the Peoples
party than all the P0pulist campaign
orators and newspapers combined.
lie said that ia the south the POpu-
lists averaged 10000 voters in each state
while in the north fwo-thirds Of that
number had not yet been reached.
The election Of officers has been set
for tomorrow and it is the general un-
derstanding that both President Loucks
and Secretary Duncan are to be re-

BERLIN, Feb IA special to the
Yossisehe zeiung, from Perm Russia,
says that riot has taken place at
the iron works situated at Nizhnee-ta tagh-
Ilsk in the Ural mountains, and that
5000 workmen took part in the disturb
ance, which is attributed to low wages
and to the nihilistic propaganda.
The local authorities were utterly un-
able to cope with the disturbance and
sent for a strong force Of troops
to Queu the rioting. The soldiers
were ordered to fire upon the rioters. A
fierce conflict followed during which
many Of the rioters were either shot or
stoned to death
The rioters finally made such fierce
attack upon the troops that the
latter were repulsed and driven to
shelter ia a position which they fortified
while awaiting assistance. An addi-
tiOnal force of troops was SUM
moned, and the combined force
Of military moved upon the
rioters and succeeded ia driving
them from the works and in quellIng the
disturbance, though many more were
killed and wounded on both sides during
this last engagement.
The troops and police made number

said that the nIhilists are spreading their
propaganda In similar manner in many
parts of Russia and that the authorities
have been called upon to take the most
energetic steps to resist them.

PITTsBURG, Feb THE New York
anarchists are making strong effort to

ed Ii. q. Frick. Edward Brady of New
York has sent q letter 10 Thomas M.

York group is collecting money and IS
willing to spend il to help Berkman. the
lover Of Emma Goldman, out Of the PEN
itentiary, where be has been sentenced 20
twenty-five years imprisonment
The letter is plain In its statements and
wording, and apparently shows that Berk-
man went to PiUtsburg with the knowl-
edge of his New York compatriots and
for the express purpose Of killing Frick.
This is Indicated by the Outcry the
epistle makes against the anarchist being
given an additional sentence for assault

order was carried out. then the sergeant
