THE ALLIANCA FIRED UPON.
Throe Solid Shots Aimed at Her by a
Spanish Han-ol.Waf,
BUT THEY FELL SHORT OF THE MARK.


NEW YORK. March l2.-The mail
steamer Alliance, Of the New York and
Colon line, which arrived to-day, was
fred upon and chased by a Spanish gun
boat, when off the east end of Cuba on
March sth. The affair Is likely to lead
to international complications. The
owners of the line are very indignant at
the insult, and say they will demand a
reason for the attempt to stop an Ameri-
can mail steamship on the high seas in
time of peace. The following letter has
been sent to Secretary Gresham:
THE PROTEST.
ITO the Hon. Walter @. Gresham, Sec
retary of State:
''The American mail steamship ALI
anca, under my command, while on her
homeward-bound voyage from Colon to
New York, was, on the morning of March
Sth. off the east end of Cuba. At $50
a barkentine rugged steamship was sight
ed under the ,and, bearing directly for
us. At 7l5 she set her colors, proving
to be a Spanish gunboat. | Immediate
ly ordered the American ensign hoisted
on tne Alltanca, ana Saluted the Spaniard
which salute was duly returned by her.
L then saluted once more, and supposed
the matter was at an end.
But about five minutes later the Span
lard fired blank cartridge, and a few
moments later another one, followed
shortly afterwards by three solid shots,
all Of which fell short of the Allianca,
but showing conclusively that the Span
lard was firing at us.
81 being six miles Off shore, paid no
further attention TO the Spaniard, but
kept upon my course. The Splni,rd kept
up the chase. although gradually drop
ping astern. fully twenty-five miles.
II desire to know II the Spaniard had
any right to fire on my ship, with the
probable chance Of endangering the lives
of the passengers and crew under my
charge or compel me to helye-to, as he
subsequently intended.
II respectfully ask fer information on
that subject, as I did not and do not
propose to heave-to, thereby losing time
on my voyage. TO oblige Spanish gun
boats or any others, except in cases of
distress. Respectfully,
JAMES A. CROSSMAN.

Northwestern Farmers Have Mars etet1
100000 Bushels Of Wheat. .ss
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 2.-The Journal
srys: One-half the marketable wheat
crop of the Northwest has been sold and
delivered by the farmers. Minneapolis
and Duluth have received since Aug. /,
$4,000, 900 bushels Of wheat. That is
more than one-half received in three
months of what was received the entire
crop year preceding. Country ele-
vators have 1S,000,O 900 bushels of wheat
in store, and some of the elevator
companies place the amount at
100000 900. It is considered con-
sentative to say that country
mills in the Northwest have ground 49,
600, OO0,bushels since Aug. Il, and that
100000 bushels have been shipped out
of the three stat es by routes other than
through Minneapolis and Duluth. This
makes q total of 81 100000 bushels sold
from the new crop, leaving less than
that amount to be marketed in the next
nine months. Receipts will necessarily
have to fall off soon and the situation
would appear to favor higher prices for
wheat e= III &5t

LITTLE ROCK. Nov. 22.-T There is now
a probability that the big fight viii
come off. The time will be within q
week and the location some where in
Louisiana, the exact spot to be deter
mined. This much was decided upon
late in the AFTERNOON after the trials Of
Corbett and Fitzsimmons had been adj
journed. Brady was cross and out of
temper with all the trouble and delay
he had been though. Els interview
with the governor upset him still more
and an announcement that Dan Stewart
had left Hot Springs for Little Rock
with a proposition to have the fight
come off at Ell Paso for a purse Of $780,
900, reused his ire to a greater pitch.
II will not go to Ell Paso," exclaimed
Brady, holly, "for $40, 900 or any other
amount. If go down there will have
the same trouble with the courts as I
have been having here and Twill be bull
lied and badgered in this way no longer.
The governor has informed me that he
will drop the cases against US if we will
not fight in Arkansas and now will
make this proposition, i a..e
And 1t Is Ny Ultimatum.
If it is not accepted within "a hours of
the dismissal of the warrants of the
governor, the whole thing is off and
the championship goes North with Cor
bett. will accept one man for referee
from the list prepared by Julian and
select the battle-ground. If he is not
willing that should select the fighting
ground, will let him select one news
paper man, will select second, the
two to choose a third and let them
pick out the place for the fight. We
will fight him for $4,000 a side and for
nothing less than that. Now, what
more can do? We have agreed to al
low his own man for referee. We will
even fight OH his own ground, if he
knows of place, or let a jury Of news
paper men decide it for him. Now let
him quit or fight.
~: Julian Accepts for Fitzsimmons.
When the proposition to fight at once
was first submitted to Manager Julian,
he was not inclined to commit himself,
but being pressed hard finally said he
would accept the conditions. He was
asked if he could put up his $4,000 at
once and replied that he did not have it
then, but would get it inside Of "a
hours. ,H,s..,r G1@:..:% g.. -.
Il This leaves the situation thus: Brady
for Corbett, has made proposition to
fight; Julian, for Fitzsimmons, has 40
cepted it and if the latter's money goes
up the battle will probably come off at
place as yet in doubt. The Maher-
O'Donnen and Ryan Smith mills at
Hot Springs have probably been ef-
fectually squelched by the injunction
proceedings in Little Rock.

AS the aged foreman, pale and
trembling, read the words that fixed
Durrant's fate, low, rumbling noise
like the roar Of mob arose from the
rear Of the courtroom. The next

Attorney Barnes arose and asked that

fort to rise to his feet, but before he
could do so his mother, with half sigh,
half moan, threw her arms around his
neck and sunk back into her chair, and
it was some time before she could leave
