THE FARMERS' ALLIANCE. A Candidate for Speaker Coddle It in Hib Remarks. Washington, Nov, l'.. Sinco the election of Governor Gordon as a I'nited States Sen ator from Gii r.ia, there is less fear among ti e politicians in Washington that the Farm ers' Alliance can run everything its own way pn the next Congress. Congressman Outh- waite, a candidate for the Speakership, ti- dav expressed the opinion that the Allianco would not puss tho mb-trca-.- nry scheme, but would bo satisfied if they could sivure a reduction and equaliza tion of luxation, and an enlargement of tho circulating medium to meet the demuuds of trade and business. He thought it not un likely that tho conditions might be such, the vuluo of silver being increased, "thut the Peiuociuts could adopt the free coinage of silver during the Fifty-second Congress. They could, he thought, make a reduction und equalization of the tarill" by taking up ono item at a time and passing it through the House and then through tho Senate with the assistance of certain llepublicuns, "The Farmers' Alliance," he said, "is ad vancing from tho West into tho North und Fast and some of the lea.-t digested und least well-considered features of the move ment arc being toned down, ull not agreeing to principles which soma would udvuncc. I have been watching tho movement with considerable interest. I cannot discover that there has been any combination formed between tho Farmers' Allianco and the La bor pxrty In the cities, though such a union has been announced. If tho wage-workers of the cities should join with the Alliance I believe they could elect the next President of tho I'nited Stutes." On Stanley's Trail. Messrs.

OFFICIAL REPORTS. RESTRICTION OF IMMIGRATION. Surf eon General Hamilton's Repot to Secretary Wind01" Washington, Nov. 21. Surgeon ffbncral Hamilton has made a report to the Secretary of the Treasury, giving the results of visit paid by him to the principal foreign ports of embarkation of Immigrants bound for the United States. He says he visited the" ports of Naples, London, Liverpool, Glasgow, Bremen, Trieste am! Hamburg, and found that there is at present no systematical medical exami nation of inimigaants at any port of em barkation. "Home of our steamship lines," be says, "require tlivir surgeons to make a prelimin ary examination, which, however, in no case compares with the examinations made at New York hy the efllcers of the Marine Hospital service, as the purposes are entirely different, the purpose of the steamship com pany being to pa's, all that can ba pussed, while the purpose of the Marine Hospital Inspection are to report to the Superinten dent ull caes thas are likely to become a public charge from rnianeut disability cr present disease. It may be positively as serted, without fear of tucceisful contradic tion, that the immigrants bound to the United States are not generally required to undergo a proer iiuertioti." Ir. Hamilton further says : "So faros my observations extend, and so far as I can learn from tho literature on this subject, there Is no country in the world in which citizenship is so cheaply obtained as in the United States. The general question of re strictive measures as against tho incoming muss is one of the most important that can be considered from an economic or iiolilical standpoint, and, viewed from tin American standpoint, thero is no doubt that the welfare of the country demuuds more restrictive measures thun tho present laws seem to lo able to furnish. The advocacy of restrictions uoii Immigra tions does not fnvessarHy imply hostility to foreigners, nf legislation adverse to the in terestsof those naturalized citizens now in this country. On the contrary, it is believed to bo for the general interest of those now on the soil who, having been invested with the rights of citizenship ure entitled to ull the protection that our laws can give, and it is in their interest, not less of the natural born citizen, that further inllux of persons not bringing skilled labor or .material wealth to the country should be restricted. "It is suggested that tho law bo amended to provide that any crson intending to emi grate to tho United States Khali produce, to the United States Consul nearest him, evi dence from tho priqier local authorities satis factory to the Consul that ho has not been convicted of any crime; that ho has not any time been a public charge in the country w hence he comes, nor lias he at any time re ceived public assistance; and, further, thut be also produce to tho Consul a certificate from a legally qualified resident physician to the effect thut such emigrant is at the time suffer ing from no contagious or epidemic disease or disability such as would make him a pub lic charge; thut on the production of these certificates to the v oiisul, he bhall issue to the intending immigrant his certificate."

COMMERCIAL 11W Business Stands the Great Financial Strain. f DTJ N CO.'! ,'S WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADF, The Number cf Failures Smaller Than j Was Apprehended. N'Jw York, November 22. U. 0. Dun A Co.'g weekly review of .trade says: Tbs fuarrel to-day is that the business world bas beon able to stand, with so little disturbance thus far, such shock and strain as tho past two Weeks have brought. With the cases of the largest commercial banking house In Great Britain turned over to the Bank of Engtxnd, with several large stock fail ures here and one at Philadelphia, and some saving banks besieged by Ignorant depositors in a panic, the legiti mate business of tire country has hurdly tsren affected at all as yet. Stringency has checked some buying, difficulty of making foreign exchange threatens to retard move ments of cotton and a. more conservative temper Is seen In trading, but everytning thus Tar Indicates a sounder condition of legftmate business than muny suppose. The collapse of many great speculations lias brought heavy losses, but the public has not been taking much part in such oeratioiis. It may be hoI that financial institutions, forced at last to drop s-culutions which utisurbed enormous capital, will have more available money after the storm has passed for the use of industry and commerce. British losses by the shrinkage in Smith AuiRrican stocks, nitrates, cedillas and South African securities ure estimated at UlW.om.ooo. The depression iu American s'oifcs since Inst spring has involved the bxis of more than t.MO,iM),ouo, ami in w heat and other products losses have been heavy. Hut the number of failures up to this time has been smaller than was apprehended: While money markets aro generally tight, there is still no unusual complaint as to collections, thosgh renewals and rediscounts have been large. The volume of business continues to exceci thut of any previous year at all clear ing houses outside of New York about 141-2 per cent for the month thus far. Kxsrts have been cluecked, New York falling V per cent below last year's for the month, but the lmKrts here in half of November exceed lust yeur's by 151 r cent. F.ren at Boston and ut Philadelphia the great failures are Ml less iu commercial cir cles than might have leen expected. At Philadelphia money is tight, and commercial paper almost unsalable, but trude Iu wool Improves; in groceries trade is good, though In tea and coffee is dull; in produce trade is fair, though collections are slow. The business failures occurring throughout thenmntry during the past seven days num ber 1.74, as compared with 1.1)0 last week. For theiorrcsponding week of last year the figures wen 277.
