HlmpMo.i WunlH a Ttalrd I'artjr, While MvlugHtoi.e Does Not Watson Hides Will. Hl.i.pHou and a Row KunueH Had Feel ing la Very Maulleat. Washington, Jan. 21. There was a grand row in the alliance wigwam iu this citv Inst night, and the representa tives of tinancial reform are adrift on a stormy sea of uncertainty. The meeting was called for last night, and between twenty-five and thirty persons attended. Jcre Simpson, of Kansas, Tom Watson and Col. Livingston, of Georgia, were the conspicuous figures in the conference. It was under, loud, that all friends of financial reform would be welcome, and the object was to ugiec upon some plat form which would be broad enough to contain all similes ot alliuncemen. Jere Simpson took the lloor and de clared that it was useless for the alliance men to fool their time with either the democratic or the republican patties, and be advocated the establishment of a third party, to act independently of the two great political parties. Jcre had about eight followers in his line, but Col. Livingston, who is one of the strongest men iu the alliance movement, advocated another course, and there was considerable "hair pulling" between the rival factions. Col. Livingston was attacked lor participating in the demo cratic caucus, but he justitied his course and that of other members of the house who went into the speakership tight. Tom Watsou, who was the candidate of the people's party for speaker, de clared that the representatives of bis party will cease to attend any further conlcrences held under the auspices of the Livingston faction. A wrangle en sues at each meeting, and personal and party allusions are made which cause ill lecliug on ull sides. There is such a vital dili'erence of policy between the Ocala men who do not go into party caucuses and those who do nut harmony seems impossible. Under the circum stances it would be wiser for those who hold the Ocala demands to be independ ent of party caucuses to stand bv them selves and light the battle straight out. It seems that the trouble arose be tween Jere Simpson and Col. Livington over party polities. This threw the meeting into contusion and Mr. Lverett. ol Georgia, declared the conlerence was a failure, and accordingly moved un ad journment sine die, so that each member ol the alliance could act as he thought oesi on me noor ol tne house ol represen tatives. Capt Alexander, of North Carolina. applealcd to the members present to act win more Harmony, and suggested that hereafter no allusion in these meetings should be made to purty politics. To tins proposition Mr. watson agreed. General confusion here ensued and there is a misunderstanding among the members whether the motion to adjourn sine die was carried or defeated, lioth tactions make dilferent claims. One savs there will be no lurther conferences, while the other taction insist that they meet again iu a week from next Fri day. Mr. Simpsan declined to discuss the subject with outsiders, but Messrs. Wat son and Liviugton were more communi cative. The impression is that the alli ance party has lost its uselulness so lar as the present congress is concerned. Charleston News and Courier. NK.

Komk, Jan. 23. There were several severe shocks of earthquake felt here last night, which caused a panic in the more crowed quarters of the city. Tiie inhabitants of houses in these places thought their dwellings about to fall and they rushed into the streets, many of them en dishabille, not waiting to save any ot their personal effects so thoroughly frightened were they. And so much did they fear a repeti tion of the shocks that nothing could induce'theni to return to their dwellings, and they remained on the streets all night, seeming to think they had far bet ter security in the open places where they would be out of the reach of any falling buildings. Theatres shook with the violence of the shocks, and persons present at the performances were greatly frightened. The panic soon subsided, however. Most of the clocks in the city stopped at 11:27. The ground shook so violent ly that street lamps were put out, and it is feared damage may have been done to underground pipes. 1 he pone was aroused by the earth s tremors. He immediately sent to the Vatican observatory to inquire it they were likely to prove serious. His holi ness was assured that there was no dan ger or any prospect of any, and he there upon returned for the night. PALACE DESTROYED An Ancient Landmark and lt CouteutM Destroyed.
