One of Their Race Be
Minister to Haiti.
BIG REVOLT THREATENED
Against the Republican Party it a
White Man Is Sent There.
HAERISOX MUST ACT SPEEDILY.
Eecretary Foster Says That the Gold Ke
Eerve Is in Xo Danger.
SIX HU-VDEED CENSUS CLERKS ADRIFT
"Washington, Aug. 15. "Will President
Harrison dare to appoint a white man as
Minister to Haiti to succeed Fred Doug
lass? If he does so there is every indication
of war in the Republican camp, and a defec
tion of colored voters from the Republican
ranks in Ohio that may prove disastrous in
IXoveniber.
The rumor, 'which remains uncontradicted,
that the purpose of the administration is to
ignore the claims of the negroes and send
a white man to Port au Prince, has
thoroughly aroused the colored leaders in
this city. They demand that their race be
given recognition in this appointment, and
if their demand is refused they threaten to
leave the Republican party in the lurch
in Ohio this vear and Indiana and Illinois
in 1892.
It ha been stated on good authority that
President Harrison purposes postponing a
settlement ot the matter untH after the -November
elections. This ha increased the
indignation of the colored people, who now
ins-ist that the vacancy be filled before the
next election They are in earnest and will
consider any dallying on the part of the ad
ministration a an inult that can only be
wiped out by the defeat of McKinleV in
Ohio, in which State the negro vote is abso
lutely necessary to Republican success.
A COLORED MAX WASTED.
Mr C A. Johnson, a colored clerk in the
5urceon General's office, is one of the lead
ins spirits in the movement to send another
necro as the United States representative to
Haiti. He, with J. E. Bruce and A. G.
D is, are conducting a new syndicate here
in the interest of the colored race. Mr.
Johnson is a man of more than ordinary
ability and is resolved that his race shall re
ceive the recognition at the hands of the
Republican party that its long allegiance
and service demands. He said to-day:
"I am determined that so far as mj- influ
ence and that of m; frietids is concerned it
t-hall be ucd to bring to the negro the rights
he has earned. "With many others who are
deeply interested in the proper treatment of
the race I have sent a letter to the President
at Cape May, urging the appointment of
Utiomas i jrortune. ot ew lore, as Minis
ter to Haiti. The letter states in a modest
way the qualifications of Mr. Fortune for
the office, and the right the colored people
have that one of their race should recen e
the appointment Our allegiance to the
.Republican party has been constant, and we
do not propose to be ignored. The promises
of the Republican party in their platform of
J..N- nave not been Kept.
"The elections bill was allowed to be
defeated and the Blair educational bill,
which held out great hopes to the Southern
negro, was scared- heard of. Xoi that an
office which has been filled, and very ac
ceptably, too, by negroes since Grant's ad
ministration, is vacant, we demand that the
proper appreciation of our services to the
party be shown, and that a colored man be
made Mr. Douglass' successor.
HARBISON MUST ACT.
"We propose that this vacancy be filled
before the "November election, so that there
may be no chance for political juggling. If
President Harrison listens to the arguments
of the personal enemies of Mr. Douglass
and enemies of the colored race and ap
points a white man to the Haitian Minis
try we propose to withdraw our support
from the Republican ticket in Ohio, where
5t is so much needed. I do not say that the
colored people will vote the Democratic
ticket. They will merely stay at home,
which means Republican defeat. "
"I expect to leave Saturday for Ohio and
will see Major McKinley and Secretary
Foster. I shall impress upon them the ex
act state of allairs, and if they do not use
their influence with the administration to
prevent the appointment of a white man,
then let them take the consequences. There
are in Ohio 37,000 negro voters and thev all
vote the Republican ticket. That surely is
an element that the party cannot afford to
ignore. I hat e advices from that state from
the leaders among our people and they are
all alive to the import of the situation. They
demand that the race be recognized when a
man of ability can be found to fill the posi
tion. "While we are backing Mr. Fortune at
present, if he should not be acceptable on
auy other grounds than his color, we have
many others to urge who are in everyway
competent to represent this Government.
The colored people of Ohio are united in
this matter. I shall make it my business to
see all their leaders and make "our position
even stronger than it is."
PERKY CARSON'S VIEWS.
Perry H. Carson, or "Colonel Perry," as
he is familiarly called he who controls the
colored conventions that annually meet in
"Washington, and who is also a member of
the National Republican Committee said:
"As a political stroke I do not think it
would be wise to substitute a white man in
the place of Frederick Douglass.
"I believe it would be disastrous to the
Republican party to inaugurate such a
policy at this time and at the same time
would be a direct insult to those negroes
who have heretofore filled the office."
WOO LEE MUST EETUBN".
He Smuggled nimsrlf in on Another China
man's Citizen Certificate.
"Washington. Aug. 15. The Acting
Secretary of the Treasury has directed that
s Chinaman named Cheng, alias "Woo Lee,
who was convicted at New Orleans of tin
lawful entry into the United States, be de
livered to the custody of the Collector of
Customs at Sau Francisco, for deportation
to China. This man arrived at Xew Or
leans on the 26th tilt, per steamer Hutchin
son from Havava and asserted that he was a
naturalized citizen. He produced a certifi
cate to that eflect, dated 1878, and also had
witnesses to prote his identity.
It was shown at the trial that he was not
the person named in the certificate and that
his witnesses had sworn falsely. The Col
lector of Customs at Xew Orleans has been
instructed to submit to the United States
Attorney the question of the liability of
the steamship Hutchinson for aiding the
immigration of the Chinaman.
S0EB0WFUL CENSUS CLERKS.
Six Hundred More of the Unfortunates Get
Their Walking Papers.
fFBOM A STAFF COKRESTO.N DEVT.
"Washington, Aug. 15. Six hundred
more census clerks were dismissed to-day
and the lugubrious scenes of the first of the
..month were repeated. As on the former
occasion, it does not appear that special
attention was given to records or merit, but
that rather, the favorites were retained. A
good deal of gossip has been going around
about possible trouble for Superintendent
Porter on account of an alleged diversion of
money contrary to law. For the work of
collecting and compiling statistics of "homes,
lands anil mortgages" a special appropria
tion as made.
For a time upwards of 300 clerks em
ployed in the work were taken from it and
put on population statistics, but they were
paid out of the appropriation specifically
made for the homesand mortgages statistics.
There is an express provision ot law against
such diversion of money, but no penalty
seems to be provided, other than the possi
ble dismissal ot the offending official. Evi
dently Mr. Porter did not fear such a con
clusion. NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
SECRETARY FOSTER SATS THE GO-CD
BASIS TVUJ-. BE MAINTAINED.
A Statement From the Secretary on the
Treasury' Refundlne Operations
About 818,500,000 Four nd a Half Per
Cent Bonds Extended So Far.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Washington, Aug. 15. Secretary
Foster made the following statement to-day
in regard to the refunding operations and
the financial situation generally:
"About f 18,500,000 of 4$ per cent bonds
have been extended, and applications have
been received covering about $2,500,000
more. "What the final outcome may be, of
course I do not know. It is probable, how
ever, that a considerable portion of the
balance (530,000,000) will be extended. It
will be no hardship to the Treasury to be
called upon to pay those not extended. In
fact, such payment will add, by the amount
paid, to the money in the hands of the
people. By the extension, we succeeded in
preventing a decrease of National bank
notes, and in fact have so far increased their
circulation nearly five millions. The out
look is that considerable more of an increase
will be effected.
"I am not finding any fault with the
action of the banks, as might be inferred
from recent publications. I saw Mr. Sher
man at Mansfield. I always find it profit
able to discuss money matters with him. I
do not recall a single disagreement between
us. The statement telegraphed from Mans
field regarding our conference is a pure
romance. "While there is less money in the
Treasury than for many years past, it is in
a comfortable condition. Because of less
money in the Treasury, it follows that more
money than ever before is in the hands of
the people, thus facilitating the conduct of
the business of the country.
""We are on a gold basis, and there is no
occasion for alarm as to the ability of the
Government to maintain this condition.
The Secretary has ample power to maintain
or increase the present reserve of gold. I
may add that Mr. Sherman fully agreed
with me regarding the legal power ot the
Secretarv as above expressed. I do not see
any occasion for the exercise of this power,
but I do not hesitate to say, should the oc
casion arise, I shall not fail to use it."
The Treasury shipments of small notes to
the "West, for use in moving the crops, ag
gregate to date 56,250,000, of which amount
nearly 54,000,000 were shipped during the
present month. The movement; began on
July 15, and will probably continue tor
some time.

This Time a Brooklyn School Teacher Risks
Her Happiness With Him.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.)
New York. Aug. 15. Dr. E. C. Seguin,
the famous New York specialist on nervous
diseases, has just made his third marital
alliance. He was married quietly last Sat
urday to Miss Sadie A. "Wessels, a teacher
in one of the public schools at Brooklyn, at
her home in "Woodsburg, L. L On the day
of the marriage Dr. and Mrs. Seguin sailed
for Europe for their honeymoon.
About ten years ago Dr. Seguin's family
affairs were first brought to the public atten
tion through the suicide of his first wife, a
beautiful young woman, after she had first
murdered her three little children, shooting
each of them with a pistobwhile they were
blindfolded. The murders and suicide
made one of the greatest sensations
that New York had heard of for mnv a day,
for Dr. Seguin and his wife moved in high
social circles. Dr. Seguin spent several
years abroad after the awful tragedy, but
returned to New York and took up the
practice of his profession' again. A few
years ago he married again, and six months
ago his secoud wife obtained a divorce from
him, and the old sensation was revived in
the papers then.
VALUATION OF FARMS.
Interesting; Figures Obtained by the State
Board of Agriculture.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Harrisburg, Aug. 15. The State
Board of Agriculture has obtained the
values of 4,832 farms in various counties of
the State; these values were placed upon
the individual farms by persons who were
well acquainted with but in no
way interested in them. The total
valuation of the 4,832 farms is
534,032,025, and the total amount
of tax paid upon them is 5295,934 75, or at
the average rate of 8.69 mills. The valua
tions include nothing but the farm itself,
and these figures therefore may be taken
as representing the actual average taxation
upon the land itself.
Secretary Edge has found from the aver
age rates o'f taxation in each countv that
if 5100,000 is invested in farms in each
county the average rate of tax paid upon
them will be 9.9l"mills on their value.
In obtaining this data it is found that
great irregularities exist in the assessments
in different parts of the same county, and
that even in the same towroship the relations
of assessment to real value vary greatly.

A BROTHER AMD SISTER DROWNED IN
THE MOKONGAHELA.
While in Bathing, Harry Conrsin and His 8-Ycar-Old
Sister, of McKeesport, Go
Down Both Bodies Recovered Sad
Scene at Their Home.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TOE DISPATCH.
McKeesport, Aug. 15. The saddest
drowning accident that has happened in
this vicinity for some time took place this
afternoon at Frantz's station, about two
miles above this place. The victims were
Harry Coursin, aged 22 years, and his sis
ter, Edna, aged 8. The young man, accom
panied by his sister and several other chil
dren, had repaired to the Monongahela
river, just below the Conrsin residence, and
donned bathing suits to swim.
Frank Trich, an eye-witness to the affair,
states thai young Coursin placed his sister
on a water-soaked plank and began towing
her out into the stream. "When about 20
feet from shore the plank suddenly sank,
leaving them struggling in the deep water.
Coursin, although an excellent swimmer,
lost his head, and before Trich, who was
several hundred yards distant, could arrive
at the spot, both'the young people had gone
down for the last time.
Trich dov e se eral times, and at last suc
ceeded in bringing the boy to the surface.
His sister had to be searched for with grap
pling hooks. Both bodies were recovered
within half an hour after the accident. Dr.
S. Harper Smith was called, but after work
ing for over two hours he declared life to be
extinct.
The scene at the Coursin residenco this
evening was a sad one. On each side of the
wide parlor lay a body, and between them
the aged mother walked to and fro, ever
and anon raising the cloth from their faces
and gazing broken-hearted at her loved
ones. Gathered about in the hallways and
yard were little groups of sympathizing
neighbors discussing the sad affair in low
ered tones.
The children were those of F. H. Coursin,
a prominent business man of this city.
Harry "was on? of the best known young
men in McKeesport.

caped the penalty of his alleged offenses,
but Superintendent JenkinB, of Mr. Gerry's

HOW MAINS PROHIBITION WORKS.
No Medicinal Liquor to Be Had For the
Case of the Late Editor Jones.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn.
Lewiston, Me., Aug. 16. The attempts
'at a rigid enforcement of the prohibition
law is developing bitter opposition in
most unexpected quarters. Politicians
all over the State stand ready to vote
with any party that will make an
effort to repeal the law. "When the late Ed
itor Jones, of the New York Tunes, was
sick at Poland Springs, it became neces
sary, in the judgment of the phy
sician, to administer brandy to him.
It was called for at the
house, but no one had it. A messenger was
sent to Lewiston. There was plenty of
cheap whisky, a little beer and bad rum to
be had, but no brandy.
The City Liquor Agency has been closed
for some time, but if it had been open it
would have made no difference, as agents
are not allowed to sell liquor to out-of-town
parties; no matter how sick they
are. The result was that the
physician had to telegraph to New York for
the much needed brandy. The attitude of
the Democrats toward the law is unmistak
able. The party sentiment is almost unan
imous in favor of again placing a license
plank in the platform, with some important
modifications.
THREE CHINESE FORGERS.
Their Bogns Labels for Opium Fail to De
ceive Custom House Officers.
San Francisco, Aug. 15. Revenue
officers last night seized in Chinatown 10,000
forged labels similar to those used in dis
tinguishing manufactured opium, which
was held by Chinese ship owners. Prior to
the passage of the McKinley bill genuine
labels all bear the stamp of Assistant
Revenue Officer Thomas, and he pronounced
the stamps seized last night to be forgeries.
"Wong Lee Ong and two other Chinese were
arrested as forgers on strong circumstantial
evidence. To-day an extensive raid was
made in Chinatown, and over 5150,000 worth
of opium was taken to theCustom House
for examination as to the genuineness of
the labels. Had the forged labels been used
successfully it would represent a loss of
about 50,000 to the Government.

MOSBY WANTS BLOOD;
The Old Colonel Sorry That Count
llitkiewiecz Was Not Killed.
f
INTERVIEWED IN SAN FRANCISCO.
A. Leo Weil Says, He Never Recommended
J. W. Miller to Anjbody.
THE LATEST CHAPTER IN THE ROMANCE
Nothing has been heard from J. W. Mil
ler since he left this city Thursday to secure
evidence of his innocence of the Catfish rob
bery. However, matters of interest in con
nection w.th this interesting case crop out
daily. Last night The Dispatch received
the following special from San Francisco:
Colonel John S. Moseby, the famous Con
federate guerilla, who makes his home here,
gave the following facts in regard to the
shooting by his son at Count Mitkicwiecz:
"I'm sorry Beverly was so poor a shot. I
suppose, however, the Russian was running
very fast. The circumstances are" these:
Mitkiewiecz's wife was Mary Marshall,
of Marshall, Fauquier county, at which
place I lived for many years.
She is a granddaughter of ex
Chief Justice John Marshall. The
family was reduced to poverty by the war
and I succeeded in inducing General Grant
to appoint Mary to a position in the Treas
ury Department. Her uncle, who was a
son of the famous jurist, I had placed in
the Department of the Interior. In "Wash
ington she met Mitkiewiecz and married
him. He is a modern Cagliostro. During
the last winter season in "Washington he
rented an expensive house and lived in
snmptuous style. He claims to have Chi
nese concessions of great value, and he told
me last spring that Senator Blair, who had
just been appointed as Minister to China,
was interested with him. He and Blair are
great chums.
CAUTIONED AGAINST MITKIEWIECZ.
"My mother and daughters spent last win
ter in Washington and lived on the opposite
side ot the street from Mitkiewiecz. Natu
rally Mrs. Mitkiewiecz, who is an excellent
lady, felt grateful to meet and show a good
deal of attention to my daughters. I
cautioned them about Mitkiewiecz, but for
sake of his wife told them to be civil to
him. He introduced one of his pals named
Miller to my daughters. I never heard of
Miller until two months ago when I re
ceived a letter from him, asking
my consent to his marriage with my daugh
ter. I regarded it as a piece of imperti
nence for a man of whom I had never heard
to write me such a letter without furnish
ing some credentials of his character, and I
treated his letter with contempt. I wrote
to my son to inquire about him. It seems
from the telegram that my son discovered
he was an imposter and very properly held
Mitkiewiecz responsible for introducing him
to his sister."
A. Leo "Weil telegraphed the following to
The Dispatch last evening from Phila
delphia, where he is stopping:
"The statement of Count Mitkiewiecz in
to-day's Dispatch, that J. "W. Miller came
to him with letters of recommendation from
me, is false. I had nothing whatever to do
with bringing Miller and Mitkiewiecz
together. I met the latter when in "Wash
ington, on professional business for clients
with whom Miller was associated, and on
this fact and his audacious mendacity the
Count has predicated his statement."
A PART OF MILLER'S ROMANCE.
It has long been known that Miller
claimed the ability to prove his innocence
of the crime, and he is now in pursuit of his
evidence. Yesterday his attorney, "W. D.
Moore, made the statement that Miller is
not Miller at all, but that he is entitled to
hold a name not quite so promiscuously
claimed. In fact, he is said to be the son of
wealthy parents, who live in New YofkJ
His father and mother had some trouble and
separated, and he was deserted by his father
when he was but three years old. Since
then he has hated the name of father, and
uould not recognize the old man. He
adopted the name of Miller in preference to
going by the name of a man he detested.
Mr. Moore says he has positive proof that
Miller did not commit the Catfish robbery,
and has written Miss Mosby a letter telling
her the facts in the case. The man who
committed the crime confessed to the at
torney and hired him to. defend Miller.
But the most interesting part of the story is
yet to come, and when Miller returns "he
will show that his life can give fiction ten
yards start and beat it the hundred.
PRICE ON HIS HEAD.
A MEXICAN GOVERNOR'S REWARD
FOR A TEXAS EDITOR'S LIFE.
Enraged at an Article He Offers S1.000 Re
ward 1,400 Armed Mexicans Gather
to Ljnch the Offender The Adjutant
General Will Protect the Man.
rsrrciAL telegram to the dispatch.!
Austin, Tex., Aug. 15. Adjutant Gen
eral Mobry, of Texas, was decidedly
shocked to-day by receiving a letter from
an editor in one of the border counties
stating that a Mexican Governor had
offered a reward for his head.
The writer, Catrine Garzia, is the
son of one of the wealthiest
Spanish families in Nueces county, and is
editor of a paper at Alice, Tex. The paper
is printed in Spanish, and the particular
issue in question contains a two-column
article denouncing one lieyes, who is Gov
ernor of one of the Mexican border States.
This article contained a number of per
sonalities regarding Governor lieyes, who
became mortally enraged at the editor, and
issued a proclamation offering a reward of
51,000 for the capture of Mr. Garzia or his
head. His capture was not so easy
as was thought, and proceed
ings were then brought against
him in Texas. "Warrants were
issued for his appearance before
the authorities in Laredo. The dep
uty who was to take him to Laredo learned
that an armed band of Mexicans were pre
paring to wreck the train and kill Garzia or
carry him over the border. The officer im
mediately telegraphed Captain McNeil
who, with nine men, boarded the train at
Alice and made the trip without the officer
and editor.
" On arriving at Laredo they found fully
1,400 armed Mexicans waiting for the train.
On finding that their man was not aboard,
the mob quietly dispersed aud nothiug seri
ous happened. The rangers and Texas au
thorities are on duty and equal to any
emergency. The Adjutant General of Texas
will have the matter thoroughly investi
gated, and accord Mr. Garzia all the protec
tion due an American citizen.

rage account.
The. Pittsburg and Lake Erie have the
papers drawn and will sue Sunners Brothers
& Co. in court here for $600. The Lake
Shore and Pennsylvania Company will file
their suits in the United States Court at
Cleveland. Several months ago the mem

Childhood She Once Lived in Iowa
Her First Marriage.
Tulare, Cal., Aug. 15. Considerable
interest has been manifested here in the
publication some time since of the fact that
a sister of the great actress, Sarah Bernhardt,
resided in this 'county. Sarah's sister was
said to be Mrs. L. E. Bell", of TVhite Kiver.
Further evidence of this fact'and of the ad
ditional statement that the divine Sarah is
an American by b'rth is contained in the
followfnc letter, received here from Mrs.
Bell:
You ask me if Sarah Bernhardt is my
sister. Yes, sho is my own dear sister Sarah.
Hon I last saw her she was a pretty, near
little girl. It was in 1832. I left her living
with my sister, Mary Finefleld, in Rochester,
Cedarcounty, la. I cametoCalifornia when
but a little girl, with my bi other and his
wife, and after u time my older sister wrote
me that my sister Sarah had gone away; that
she had quarreled with my sister Mary and
had told her that as she was always
qnai reling she would go away, and if any of
them ever came where she was sho would go
where they would never hear of her again.
Sho Tent to Davenport, la., to work in a
dressmaking establishment. After she had
been there some time, John Fmefleld, my
sister Mary's husband, visited Davenport on
business, and called at the dressmakers' to
get Sarah to go home with him. When
Sarah saw him she went out by another
door, and when he had gone, came back, col
lected her wages and left forTerew, 11L,
where she again secured employment at
dressmaking. She became acquainted there
with a gentleman from New York City and
married him, after which she went to New
York to live.
We beard no more of her. I was almost
crazy about her, for she was our baby sister
and I always thought so much of her. I
wrote many letters, directing them to New
York and Tcrew, but with no result, so I
ceased writing and mourned her as lost. I
never ceased inquiring for her, however, of
every person I met from New York, but
heard nothing until 1 got a letter this spring
from my brother, John King, saying that my
sister, Sarah Bernhardt, had written to my
niece, Mary E. Mum, stating that she had
married a man by the name of Bernhardt
and was an actress and would bo in the
United States in the spring. She said she
would be in San Francisco April 24 and re
main until May 2. So you see sho is my
sister. She told my niece she would travel
all over the notld and that she had her son
and his wife with her.
I could tell you many little anecdotes re
girding Sarah, but I will relate only one.
When we were little girls going to school we
had an exhibition and all of us were to
speak. Sarah was a wee bit of a thing.but was
down for a recitation. She would not tell us
what she had, and when she came out we all
wondered what her "pioce" would be. She
looked like a little fairy, and she said:
He re I stand as fair as the lilies
Which grow from here to Uncle Billy's.

MANY LIVES IN DANGER.
A Building in Wheeling ' Suddenly Wavers
and Collapses.
tSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
"Wheeling, Aug. 15. People in the
vicinity of Main and Twentieth street were
astoni-hed and alarmed at 2:30 this after
noon to see the three-story brick Goshom
building begin to waver. Almost instantly
the building collapsed into a shapeless mass
of ruins with a terrific crash.
The north wall of the building runs along
Wheeling creek, and excavations were
being made there for the building of an
abutment forabridge just at the corner of the
block. A month ago a portion of the north
building fell, and two weeks ago the front
of the next house toppled into the street.
This afternoon, luckily, sufficient warning
was given, else the inmates of the block,
with a dozen workmen, would have been
buried in the ruins. As it was, no one was
injured, but half the town was frightened.
The loss of the building and contents, which
will fall on Paige, Carey & Co., the bridge
contractors, will be heavy.

President Polk Announces the Plans
of the Farmers' Alliance.
BALANCE OP POWER THE OBJECT.
He Declares That Senator Sherman's Goose
Is Already Cooked. -
CAMERON MARKED, BUT QUAY ESCAPES
FROM A'STAPr CORIlESPOSDEJrr.
"Washington, Aug. 15. Colonel Leoni
das L. Polk, the President of the National
Farmers' Alliance, is again at Alliance
headquarters m this city after a tour over
several states and the collection of much
information.
"Oar campaign at present," said Colonel
Polk to-day, "is not to elect a President or
to secure the governorships of States. "We
are striking at the monopolists in the
United States Senate. So far we have
landed three. The first was Senator Hamp
ton, of South Carolina, then John J.
Ingalls, of Kansas, followed by Gideon C.
Moody, of South Dakota. The next one to
go into retirement will be John Sherman,
of Ohio. Matt Hanson, of North Carolina,
will also be retired. The fate of these two
Senators is just as certainly sealed as that
of John J. Ingalls.
"We made two mistakes that will not be
repeated," continued Colonel Polk. "With
complete control of the North Carolina
Legislature we allowed Senator Vance to be
re-elected on the strength of his promises
that he would be a faithful political servant
to the interests of the people. The election
of Governor Gordon, of Georgia, was also a
mistake as he has shown himself to be far
more interested in his own personal success
than that of the Alliance.
WTXI, NOT TBTJST POLITICIANS.
"Hereafter no promises of the politicians
of the old parties will be accepted."
"How do you propose to defeat John
Sherman?"
"We have him defeated. In the legisla
tive districts the Alliance will support can
didates pledged to vote against Sherman.
The voting strength of the actual organiza
tion is 40,000. Our members, however, are
dointr missionary work among the farmers
generally and thousands of voters not con
nected with the Alliance itself will be ral
lied against Sherman. If you would look
over the correspondence from Ohio you
would be convinced that it is now an im
possibility for him to succeed himself"
"Is the fight being made on McKinley
also?"
"It is not. As I stated, we are now
cleaning , out the United States Senate.
Governorships are not valuable to us at the
present time. It would have a good moral
effect to elect State officers, merely as an
evidence of the strength of the organiza
tion, but our primary object is to
SECURE THE BALANCE OF POWER
in the Legislatures which enact the laws
and elect United States Senators. Proba
bly many Alliance members will support
the People's ticket in Ohio, but there is no
movement to have them do so. Conse
quently the Alliance is not fighting Mc
Kinley; but do no infer from that that I
think he will be elected."
"Can Senator "Wilson, of Iowa, be re
turned?" "We are figuring much on results from
Iowa," replied Colonel Polk. "The organ
ization in that State is weak, though the
popular assumption is that we are making a
great ngnt tnere. That idea is a mistaken
one. The most we expect to get out of the
contest in Iowa is to determine what
strength the movement is developing there.
No scalps are expected. In the Northwest,
however, the voters seem more ready to
break away from the old parties than in
other sections of the country."
. "Wilt the Alliance undertake to dictate
the successor of Senator Quay in Pennsyl
vania?" NOT AFTER QUAY'S SCALP.
"As matters stand now I think not. The
State is not yet sufficiently organized. How
ever, the work is progressing rapidly. You
do not see much about it in the newspapers,
but about two local Alliances per day are
being organized in the State. By the time Sen
ator Cameron's term expires" we will prob
ably be ready to supply his successor. In
New York State the situation is much the
same. Nevertheless, Senator Hiscock will
be retired in 1893, though other causes will
operate to that end besides the spread of
the Alliance movement."
"The reports from Baltimore are to the
effect that Senator Gorman has captured the
Maryland Alliance."
'That is an invention. I was present
throughout the recent convention. If the
Maryland Alliance is true to its principles
two Alliance Senators will be elected from
that State next winter, and Arthur P. Gor
man will not be one of them. He is too
much of a straddler on the silver question
to suit our principles, and is unacceptable
in other ways. The two Alabama Senators
must also be relieved from further service
in the United States Senate. Mr. Morgan
will come first, then Mr. Pugh. Congress
man Oates, who has openly declared against
the Alliance, will head the procession of
those who go out of public life from that
State. This fall we expect to secure com
plete control of Virginia."
QUITE A BUSINESS ASPECT.
The Alliance headquarters are not main
tained on mere talk. There is apparently
plenty of money at command. At the
principal offices there are stacked up hun
dreds of hugh packages of printed matter
for distribution. The typographic work is
first class and there is nothing cheap or
shoddy about it. On North Capitol street,
almost within the shadow of the Senate
wing a four-story printing house has been
established and within it is as bnsy as a
beehive.
A large force of women are employed in
the mailing department and in clerical work,
showing that there is no prejudice against
the softer sex. In short, one of the secrets
of the success of the Alliance has been the
interest taken in it oy tne women. An ex
tensive literary bureau is also maintained.
In all these departments there is a spirit of
enterprise and enthusiasm, which may give
the key to the success that has been attained
in Alliance undertakings and which lias
caused such a fright in old political circles.

Terrible Torture of a Boy Suffering
With Trichinosis.
MOTHER MD SISTER AFFECTED.
The Slightest Touch Males the Sufferer
Crj Out with Pain.
THE TROUBLE IS A TERI RARE ONE;
New York, Aug. 13. In a room where
the sun rarely shines, a boy is tossing from
side to side of a big bed, showing in every
look and movement the most excruciating
agony. No need to wonder at the pain, for
his disease is trichinosis.
The boy is Charles Deicke. He is 16
years old, the son of Dorothea Deicke, a
widow. Up to July 4 Charley was errand
boy for a printer on Ann street. But the
boy has not worked since July 4, and the,
chances are that he will never'work again.
On that holiday Mrs. Diecke thought that
the evening meal should be of a better qual
ity than usual. So she sent her little girl to
buy some meat. The girl bought two pounds
of cooked ham from the grocery of J. P.
Inborf. All three Dieckeses ate heartily of it
ALL THREE ATTACKED.
That night each was taken with a severe
spell of vomiting. The next day the
mother and daughter were fully recovered,
with the exception of a feeling of weakness,
but Charley was in bed, the victim of a
burning fever. A physician said that
the boy was suffering" from scarlet fever.
Two days passed and the physician called
another in consultation. The second doctor
pronounced the disease typhoid fever
Another day passed and the boy acted so
queerly, tearing at himself with his nails
and complaining of an insufferable itching,
a third physician was called. He said that '
he had inflammatory rheumatism. The boy
was dosed accordingly.
At the end of two weeks he had recovered
to such a degree that he could walk. He
secured work at a carpenter shop and was to
have gone there a week ago last Monday.
But on Sunday of that week, while sitting
in the kitchen, he gave a great cry, ran
over to the bed and threw himself upon it,
tearing at the sheets and shreiking aloud in
the frenzy of pain.
"Oh!" he cried, "they're eating me up!"
YOUNG DraCKE'S TORTURE.
His mother, almost in hysterics, ran for
the nearest physician, Dr. H. Freeman.
He came and looked at the boy. After a
moment he began to pinch the pain-racked
figure. "With every pressure on the flesh
there came a cry of pain. All parts of
young Diecke's body excepting the ears and
nose, were abnormally sensitive to the
touch.
"Trichinosis," said Freeman.
Mrs. Diecke protested that the boy had
not eaten pork since July 4, but this only
added to Dr. Freeman's certainty, his
diagnosis having convinced him that the
death-dealing parasites had reached the
muscles of the lad.
For nearly two weeks Dr. Freeman, br
use of stimulants, has managed to keep
Charley Diecke alive, despite the tortures
which rack his little. body. Yesterday, how
ever, the case had reached such pitch that
Dr.
Freeman notified Dr. Cyrus Edson, of
the Board of Health. Dr. Edson will investi
gate the case and ascertain if any action
should be taken concerning the seller of the
diseased meat.
A RARE DISEASE.
Trichinosis is a very rare disease in. this
city. Dr. Ereeman says these are the first
cases that he has seen in all his medical
practice, and many physicians'go a lifetime
without having any experience with it. ,
This may acconnt for the fact that it was
not immediately recognized by the physi
cians who were called in by the Diecke
family.
The disease i' produced by a multitude! of
tiny worms which are communicated to the
human system through the diseased meat.
They develop in the intestines and theii
maketheir way in myriads to the muscles,
especially the voluntary muscle, where
they cause the patient great agony and
generally death.
The lad was seen by a reporter last even
ing. He had been lying in a kind of stupor
air day, but roused up when the reporter
entered the room. He screamed with pain
when the muscles of his arms, face or body
were touched, but said that he suffered
little pain except when he was touched.
Last week, on the contrary, he was in great
pain, and he cannot yet bear to be moved.
The ham which is supposed to have
-caused the trouble was f purchased at the'
grocery store of J. P. Indorf. 3rr. Indorf
says that he has never had any complaint
from any of his customers, and he never
heard of the ham making anybody sick.
Shoe Soles of Stone.
And now we are going to be'able to cover
slippery surfaces with ease and safety, for A
German inventor proposes to make boots
with stone soles. He mixes with a water
proof glue a suitable quantity of clean
quartz sand, which is spread on the thin
leather sole employed as a foundation. The
quartz soles are said to be very flexible and"
almost indestructible, and enable the wearer
to walk safely over the mdst dangerous of
slippery grounds and roads.
Another Great Smoker.
Seward was a great smoker, especially
during seasons of hard and laborius study.
He usually wrote witfi a cigar in his mouth,
and rarely smoked less than half a dozen a
day.
