Editors Progressive Farmer:
Bro. ii. NJ. Gates, the State Lee
turcr for the Alliance, returned to
his work i'll Halifax this week. He
will reorganize the County Alliance
there Saturday, January 80, and
then 60 to Pitt. He will reorganiz"
Pitt County Alliance at Greenville.
Saturday, February 9th. l hope the
brethren of Pitt will turn out and
attend that meeting in large mum
hCrs. From Pitt he will go into
Greene County probably the Ormonds
Vile. ! Will take the liberty of an
nouncinr hal he will speak at Or
mondsvillc, Tuesday, February 9th.
at , o'clock, D.. m. This will give
them time to effect an organization
so the brethren can return home be-
fore night. Permit me to ask the
good people of Greene County who
want to better the condition of them
selves and their fellow farmers, and
who believe in a good, healthy, strong
and progressive farmers organiza-
ton &c turn out and hear Brother
Gates, and to give him all the assis-
lance in his work while in their
midst they possibly can. Substan
tial encouragement, such as they can
give him, will prove very helpful to
him, and will bring to him pleasant
memories in after years when he
thinks of his work there and the
many good people. he had the pleas
ure of meeting. No man need fear
taking him into his home for he will
prove himself to be an agreeable and
acceptable guest.
In this connection. it is a pleasure
for me to state that the Alliance is
growing in the eastern part of the
State. The farmers there seem to
be alive to their interests and to the
opportunities opened up to them
through organization. I am just in
receipt of a letter from a brother in
Martin County making some inqui-
ries on business matters. but Incl
d~entally he said:
"Since you we're with US at Rober-
sonville the farmers are organizing
rapidly. Our Sub Alliance has
grown from a membership of nine 10
twenty, and others have grown ir
proportion"
The same mail brought in a lotter
from Bro. S. W. Williams, of Cam
den County. Tie writes

lance has been revived. This is in
docl gratifying. Why will not Tire
brethren all over the State do Just
as those brethren did-meet and re-
vivc the work without waiting for
the State Lecturer? 1t is impossi-
bic for him to meet all the demands
tho brethren in all parts of the State
are making on him.

where they think he can accomplish
most. He will get around just as
fast as he possibly can In the mean
time let the farmers in any section
who desire to enjoy the benefits OF
organization, do as these Camden
County farmers did-organize within
themselves and not wait for a lee
turer. l also had a letter from a
Columbus County brother stating be
had organized an Alliance with IS
members, and about 25 more were
ready to join as soon as the Sub
could get in working order.
The above are examples that are
worthy of imitation all over the
State. I shall be glad to send to any
one interested such information as

Alliance, so there may be no excuse
for delay in effccting an organiza-
ton.
Brethren, let me hear from you I
am ready to serve you.

AUSTRIANS WILL
INCREASE ARMAMENT
Budget Contains Over Forty Millions for
the Army and Navy.

BUDAPEST. Hungary. May 1.-THE
common budget of Austria Hungary for
1905 has been submitted to the delega
tons. The net amount required is $73,
S2S,576, an increase of $227, 587 as COM
pared with the previous year. The or
binary requirements are $50, 800, 696, and
the extraordinary Sc, SIS, 303. The Gus
toms receipts are given as $24, 549, 900.
The estimated surplus of the customs rev.
enue over expenditures is $22,943, 346, an
increase of $25S, 662 as compared with the
estimated customs surplus of the previous
year. bill has been drafted providing
for an extraordinary credit OF ST 600, 900
for the army and further amount Of
$1O,0O0,0O0 VIII be assigned during 1905
for the provision Of new field artillery.
A bin providing for an extraordinary
credit for the navy states that the ships
already being built with their engines,
armament, etc, will require in the next
year $9.577, zoe. In addition there is neces-
sary new construction, namely, a fleet
of torpedo boats costing $500, 900 and
submarines. The total requirements of
the navy bill amount to So, 49,, 200.
According to an urgency statement ae-
companying the budget, the demands for

excessive as compared with the provisions
for the arming and equipping Of other
armies. 1t is more necessary, the state
ment declares, for Austria-Hungary to
be in the forefront of preparedness than
for many states The war in Asia shows
the value of timely military readiness.

at St. Louis In Ancient Way.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 1.-THE mag
nif1cence and completeness of the Ger
man educational exhibit, in the palace
Of education, has resulted in an inter-
change Of cab1egrams Of felicitation
between President Francis and En-
peror William. The exhibit occupies
over. 5000 square feet and is the larg-
est display by any nation in the pal
ace of education. The following was
received from Emperor William to-
night; dated at Frankfort on the
Main:
President Francis: 1t gives me great
satisfaction to hear by your kind telegram
of today that the German section of the
international exhibition has been finished
in time, and that my commissioner gem
eral and all his staff have shown them
selves alive to the great Importance of
their tasks. Accept my best wishes for
the success of your great worlds fair,
which am sure will contribute to the

peting nations for mutual study.

The crack of a pistol, instead Of the
graceful waving of palm leaves, as
was the custom at the opening of the
Olympic games of long ago, marked

worlds fair at stated intervals. The
Olympic games will comprise repro

The first feature of today's pro-
gramme was the opening of the Bel

pavilion is one of the most unique on
the grounds, a curious feature being
that it is entirely without windows
The ceremonies were unique in that no
invitations had been sent to any off,

dignitaries. The guests of honor were
over 800 young girls from the different

Republicans Adjourn Till Mon
day After TWenty-four Bal
lots for Governor.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May 14.-After
another day of fruitless balIoting TO
select a Republican candidate for gov
ernor, the vote Of the 1902 delegates
being distributed much the same on
the twenty-fourth ballot as on the first
taken early yesterday, the Illinois Re-
publican convention, after breaking all
records for stubbornness, this evening
adjourned until Monday afternoon.
The most exciting scene today was
a small stampede to Attorney General
Rowland j. Hamlin on the twenty
third ballot. Hamlin, who Is fourth in
the list of aspirants. gained more votes
than had been gained or lost during
the balloting by any other candidate
on any one ballot. Hamlin's sup
porters increased from ITO to 148, but
on the twenty fourth receded to 1875.

375; Rowland J. Hamlin, 1S5 As;
Lawrence Y. Sherman, 40; Vespasian
Warner, SO Us; John H. Pierce, 81.
The scenes attending today's session
of the convention were similar to those
Of yesterday and the demonstrations
in favor of the various candidates were
calculated to sweep a less deliberate
gathering from its feet, but with every
outburst the determination among the
delegates to resist anything in the way
of a stampede became more pro-
nounced.
Life and Death Struggle.
This Is a Iife-and death struggle be-
tween two great factions in Cook
county, headed respectively by Con-
gresham William Lorimer and States
Attorney Charles S. Deneen, with the
country delegates holding the whip
hand, but so jealous and loyal to their
favorite sons that they will not COM
bine to exert their powers.
Supporters Of Gov. Yates for re-
election hold just as steadfastly to
their purpose, while Deneen, HamIin,
Sherman, Warner and Pierce are stoI-
idly supported by their friends.
Tonight the delegates and leaders
are in conference and it is hoped that
some solution may be reached by Mon
day afternoon when the balloting is re-
sumed.
