IOWA, S. MtAYAH, THIRD FARTT CLAIMS. AN ADDRESS FROM THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. ed by Their Capture of the Farmers' Alliance at InittanapolU TUey Clam That All Labor Will In a Concentrated Political Movement. The National Executive committee 1s- an address to tho people of the country from Indianapolis which says that the People's party will have a candidate for President in tbe field for 1892; that no Influence of the old political organizations or aggregated capital can prevent a hearty and unanimous coming together of all labor forces of the country, whether employed In the work shop, mine or farm.

"The people have beheld," It says, "with growing alarm continual advance of conditions carrying the country every day further away from the principles and traditions of the founders of the Republic and nearer the abyac in which can be seen only a crashing oligarchy or the dreadful alternative of eevflution and anarchy. It Is for the purpose of saving free institutions by tbe peaceful instrumentalities of education and the ballot that the People's party has been organized." The address devotes some space to the scoring of railroad corporations, corrupt legislatures, debauched juries and judges, and banking associations which make or wreck as their interests dictate, and says the dolly newspaper press has become coerced by its business necessities Into becoming the ready instrument to bind the shackcls of serfdom on tbe limbs of free people, to confuse their minds by sophistry, fill their ears with falsehood, uphold everything destructive to the public good and crush everything that woaU help the people. "As a striking instance of the colossal lies with which the people are misled," says the address, "we point to the vote of tbe People's party thto In Kansas. Nine- tenths of the population of this country, In consequence of the gross misrepresentation of the press, believe that the People's party vote In Kansas this year fell off greatly from that of last, while the fact Is that It actually increased about per cent. Tbe Republican majority in South Dakota waa reduced from 10,000 in I860 to 2,700 thto year, while In Nebraska the People's party came within 3,000 votes of defeating the combined power of both the old parties and elected eleven District Judges." men, restaurant keepers, hotel men and others, who pmploy Chinese In any Way.

Tho heads of families are requeued not to employ Chinese as cooks or servants. 1 The fight promises to be a hard ono. There are over 4,000 Chinese in Montana, and 1,600, in Butte alone. CIVII. WAR IN A Seceding- Province to Meet the Dictator's forces In the Flelfk The late dispatches say that the jealousies between the insurgents of the'seced- ing State, Rio Grande do Sul, have been silenced and a provisional government has been agreed on to prosecute the war against tho Dictator, Fonseca.

They made one of their number, Dr. Assize Brazil, Minister of War. Active measures are being taken to improve the defences and increase the effective strength of the army. The mouth of the Rio Grande, tbe principal river of the State, was obstructed by sinking two ships In the channel, and the river la protected by heavy artillery. The Junta Is in full control of all the military stores In the State and of the government factory for making munitions of war.

The provincial banks and private persons are offering to furnish the Junta with ample funds to carry forward the plans that may be decided upon for maintaining the Independence of the State. Tho officers sent by the Dictator to take places of those who cast their fortunes with the insurgents in Klo Grande do Sul have arrived at Monte Video and propose to proceed at once to their destination. They assort that several men-of-war are now on their way to Rio Grande and others are being made ready to follow. Tbe refugees from Rio Janeiro who reached Monte Video express the opinion that Fonseca will not be able long to maintain himself. His cause is lost, they say.

Only tbe fear of mob violence in their opinion, now restrains the discontented opposition at the Brazilian, capital from active steps against Fonseca. PAID SECKhT REBATES. THE FBEK SILVER DEHAND. Denver Mining Congreca Declares In Favor of Plenty of Money. Tbe committee on resolutions appointed by the Mining Oongreca at Denver reported declaring that the certificates of the government backed dollar for dollar by gold or silver coin on deposit in the Treasury of the United States Is a safe and sound currency and has been approved by the people; that the first National Mining Congress is unalterably fan favor of the principle of bl-met- allsm; that gold and ono to tbe exclusion of the the money metals of the constitution; that gold and silver ahouM hare by law equal rights, uses and monetary purposes, and to that end It demanded of the Congress of the United States the enactment of laws by which silver abaU be coined tree in all mints equally with geld and to have with it a full and unrestrained Monetary power, and that they be In the ratio of to 1.

The federal grand jury at Chicago returned a number of indictments against shippers and one railroad man for practicing a system of secnet rebates. Indictments were returned as follows: For obtaining rebate less than the card tariff, the following members of tho firm of Swift Gustavus 8. Swift, Edwin C.

Swift, Louis F. Swift and D. Edward Harpnell; for the offense, George and John Flrmenlchs, glucose manufacturers, of Marshalltown, for giving rates less than the established tariff, George B. Sprlggs, general freight agent of the New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railway.

The members of the firm of Swift Co. were Indicted for obtaining rebates on the legal tariff rates from the Nickel Plate Road. In the last six months Swift Co. received over $30,000 In rebates for meat, shipped over that road alone. The violation of law committed by the Firmenichs was even greater than tho charges against the Swifts.

The glucose company they control at Marshalltown is an immense concern, having brarches all over tho west and an office In Chicago. It was shown that over 980,000 in rebates was paid to the flrm in the last six months. That the only railroad Indicted was somewhat of a surprise, but not a few other railroaders barely escaped. The evidence against them was not sufficiently strong. None of those indicted were arrested, but they will be compelled to appear and give ball for trial.

The penalty for freight discrimination is sot down in tbe law at a fine of 81,000 to $5,000, and imprisonment froiu one to three years, or ooth, In the discretion of the court.

The Commissioner says that in order to maka the tariff law effective, several amendments are required, among them one allowing the forfeiting of illicit factories as well as duly authorized factories where there is a.serious violation of the law. The quantity of spirits produced and deposited in distillery warehouses during the year was 119,902,380 gallons, an Increase over 1690 of 6,666,461 gallons The quantity of spirits In distillery warehouses Juno 80, 1801, was tbe largest quantity so held at the close of any fiscal year, it being 113,000,000 gallons.

THIRD PABTV V1CTOKY. C'ap- The People's Party Claim to Have tnred the Alliance. The People's party men claim to have captured the Alliance as a result of the general election for officers at Indianapolis, President Polk was unanimously re-elected; L. Loucks, of South Dakota, chosen Vice President: J. H.

Turner re-elected Secretary and Treasurer, and J. F. Wllletts, of Kansas, natlonel lecturer Mr. Polk, in his annual address Tuesday night, so se'verely condemned the old parties and so strongly Indicated bis tendencies to the People's party movement that his re-election is regarded as a groat victory for the People's party. Tho election of Mr.

Loucks as Vice President is regarded as a greater vidtory, from the fact that bo is a member of the National committee of the People's party. Tho fact that a large number of Alliance delegates are also members of other industrial organizations and working together would Indicate that the trend of their action was to unification of all and in the dlroctiun of Independent political action.

A Spirit of Revolt Growing In the Northern Regions. Advices from Alaska state that the poo- pie up there are much incensed because Congress has not taken notice of their desire for a proper territorial government. An Alaskan newspaper, in a recent issue, suggests, in view of tne injustice suffered from appointive officers under KiicpAwiivn adiuinistrationa, that tnto people assemble Ut convention, prepare a bill fora territorial reform government and demand Its approval by Congress. If Congress refuses to pass it, every resident of Alaska Is advised to rise, unfurl the motto of "Alaska for Alaskans," elect their own judicial officers and resist all processes emanating from officials whose tenure of office Is under tbe original act Pneumatic Mall Tubes. Postmaster General Wanamaker will probably ask Congress to appropriate something for experimenting with the pneumatic tubes for mall service in the largo cities.

The department has no money available for such a purpose. Inquiries, however, have been made into the possibilities of system. It is said that the pneumatic tubes work better in Berlin than In other European cities. There tho system costs 9700,000 and it bos proved profitable. It has also Increased the telegraph receipts, and as the government controls the telegraph, that bos been a gain.

The fire started in the millinery store of Penny Gentles, corner of Iranklln avenue and Broadway. A second and third alarm were sounded within fifteen minutes, and the almost complete fores of the fire department responded.

The flames spread at a rap laVj, the material which they fid upon being of a highly Inflammable character; A strong west wind blowing at time, which tbo work of the firemen perilous and for a time fruitless. Within half an hour tbo large dry goods store of gonnenfelds. wjiich adjoined Penny was ahro, and the flames were working their way to the Famous mammoth shoe house on the corner of Broadway and Morgan street Four firemen were caught In the Famous Building and were ercome by smoke. They were rescued by their companions. The weather was bitterly cold ana the firemen, hose, wagon and all matter not in the immediate vicinity of the flames was covered with ice.

Within an hour the entire block on the west side of Broadway, between Franklin avenue and Morgan street, was a mass of flames, which were being fanned by a strong wind, and, beinvr carried across the street, threatened destruction to tbe immense dry-goods house of D. Crawford and the furniture store o( Koppleman otyCo. The Bremen poured thdr streams of water Into the flro blindly, as the smoke was so dense and tbe odor of burning ribbons feathers, cloth and shoes so strong that they could not remain on the windward side. Thn fire raged for two hours, and it was. only by the almost superhuman work of the firemen that a tremendous conflagration was averted.

The wind had died away considerably and the firemen were able to do battle with greater success. The whole block on the east side Broadway, between Franklin avenue and Mornap street, Including the establishment D. Crawford was dam- axed by flrn and smoke. It took hard and active work to prevent the flames from fotng down Morgan street to as all the buildings and inflammable. Whet control was gained, tho block of buildings, which before was filled with holldayj goods, was a mass of charred timber, and tho main part of tho walls had fallen.
