Intense dullness in transactious, and
stagnation in fluctuations. , Both
sides of speculation are confident
that when the change comes it
will be in their favor, and there
fore no desire to liquidate i seen
resulting in the present dullness! The
market is narrowing from day tjo day
and no real activity s seen. Only St
Paul and Chicago gas were traced in
u i ay to any - material extent! The
latter aud bugar refineries were also
tbe ouly ones to show any material
change in price during the sesbiou,
while -peculation in tilver certificates
seemed to have come to an unltimely
end. The supporters of the move
ment evidently having chosen the
wrong time 10 start a boojm in
metal. A slow but steady deprecia
tion went on, while the final change
was not of special importance.
The opening of tbe market was
dull and steady, and covering of fshoi ts
served to give t firm tone to the early
trading, but no material change in quo
tations was made, and dullness lor the
tim-4 of day was most excessive. I Gold
shift later reversed tbe position of
traders as the market and fresh lines
of shorts were put out, e-pecially in

was there any movement of importance;

THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE
TROUBLE AMONG PROMINENT
OFFICALS. !
A Conflict of Opinion on the Sub
Treasurr Scheme Bids Fair to
Develop a New Organiza
tion at Their Next
meeting, j
Jacksonville, fc'la., June 24. A
Jackson (Miss) special to the Tima
Union says: During the visit here of
Polk, Livingston, McDowiell and Wll
letts. Alliance lights, some interesting
developments came to the surface in
relation to National Alliance matters.
The National Alliance legislative coun
cil met in Washsngton last February
and created a legislative committee
consisting of three members, of which
O. S. Hall, President of the Missouri
Alliance, was 'one. The functions of
this committee were to formulate
m a ail rai irinvlnrr nnt Af tKa rtn.il. At
mands to be presented to the 524 Con-i
gress. Hali, from the inception
of the Sub Treasury measure, has been
one of its strongest opponents. When
ne was selected as a member oi tbe
committee, it was regarded as a victory
for the anti-treaurites, and as an indi
cation of the ultimate abandonment of
tbe scheme. Ball; after! his election,
commeuced to work with increased
vigor agaiubt the scheme, and with his
coadjutators had succeeded in organi
zing a movement covering the entire
Southern States, a- is shown fiom the
call for the meeting of the Anti-Sub
Treasury League, at Dallas, Tex
as, July 10th next. 'this meet
ing promises to be j larg 1 at
tended, and organized opposition to the
sub-treasury measure and McCuneism
will be definitely inaugurated, and on
this circumstance hangs an inu restintr
tale. Within the last month remon
strances have been sent to Hall by
members of the legislative council and
members have also urged udod PreaU
dent Polk the advisability of taking ac
tion against Hall. Polk has hid con
suieraole correspondence: with Hall,
advising him to; deeist, and very re
cently submitted to him .due of the two
alternatives, either to cease his oppo
bition to the sub treasury bill, or to
tender his resignation as a member of
the legislative committee.! In the event
of his non compliance he was g ven
plainly to understand that he would be
suspc r.ded and wajs given until July 25ih
to mane his ansiwer. Its Is believed
this is a decisive stroKes of Polk to
frustrate the objects of tho AutiSuh
Treasury League at Dallas. Tex , and
to inflnence lesa intrepid opponents to
the measure than Hall to steer clear of
the Dallas circuit.- Those who know
President flail assert positively that
he will decline to be coerced and to
give up his convi ;tions, but on the con
trary he will resign and tight the Sub-
Ireasury scheme harder than ever. It
is believed by many that this will split
the National Alliance and an organiza
tion will grow out of tbe Dallas meet
iug as a result, with a more liberal
policy in many respects, and especially
as to membership
DYNAMITE GUNS. .

The Kxperlmeuta to be Repeated a
Fort Monroe,
Washington. June 24.-4As a result
of the report of ! Commander Evans'
board, which conducted j the recent
teft- of the dyuanait" gun Of t he Vesu
vius at Fort Monroe, Va , the Navy
Department has decided to make fur
ther tests of the guns. The board asked
lor 10 proj-ctlle. As these are expen
sive tbe Department ha reduced the
number to be allowed to i seventy-five
projectiles, and these, it lis believed.
will be sufficient to determine the court-e
and establish ihe range of the
guns. The vessel will also be fitted
with a range tinder of a new design, to
so that the distance of the target from
the guns can be ascertained instantly,
with close approximation jto absolute
accuracy. Sights are to hie fitted to
the guns, and sme alterations sug
gested by the last trial will be made in
the mechanism which admits the com
pressed air to impel tho j projectiles.
when these things have been done and
the projectiles procured, which will
require two or three months, final and
thorough tettvvlll be mace to ascertain
the actual value! of pneumatic dyua-
mite guns ou shipboard. ;

THE FINANCIAL QUESTION-
The Only Question to be Considered
at the Next Cabinet Meeting. .
Washington, Jane 24. It; is" stated
on the best authority that the only
financial question to be considered by
the Cabinet at its regular meeting on
Friday is whether the coinage of
standard silver dollars shall be con
tinued after the 1st proximo, and that
data on that subject and on no other
are now being prepared at the Treas
ury department for the information
and guidance of the President and his
advisers, a great many communica
tions on this subject have been re
ceived at the department since It be
came known that the financial
retary was seriously considering
such a policy. A large' major
ity of them favor the propoei ion
and the only one so far received op
posing it came from certain bankers
in New York. While there is consid
erable diversity of opinion as to the ad
visability of such a course, the ore-
valUnf sentiment
with the leading
t treasury omciaia la thrtt it will be
adopted. One of them Bald that, while it
was necessary that this question should
oe disposed oi before the first proximo
there is! no other Question affecting
national finances that requires imme
diate consideration. The question of
tbe extension of the 4 per cent loan of
50,ooo,000, he said would probably be
disposed of some time next month,
although there is no particular neces
sity for action so soon as that. The
offers so far received in response to
Secretary Foster's suggestion for such
t-xtension, have been few in number
aud represent lets than 93,000,000 of the
bonds. Holders of about one-half this
amount agree to two percent extension
and others say they will accept tbe rate
finally determined upon. The official
already quoted, said that there was not
the least doubt of the Government's
ability to meet all its obligations during
the coming fiscal year, even to the full
extent of the appropriations made at
the last Congress.
THE r THREE C" RAILROAD.
Arrangements for Its'Reorganlzatlon
and Early Completion.
V hiladelphia, June 23. Those in
this city who are interested in tbe
Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago
Railroad, better known as the "Three
Cs," have about completed arrange
ments for the reorganization of the
road and the floating of a loan suffic
ient to to far complete the road that it
will be enabled to earn 'the interest
upon its bonds. It is proposed to take
tbe'road out of the hands of the re
ceiver and complete a large portion of
it. Those directly interested in the
road's future some time ago prepared
a plan of reorganization and submitted
it to the creditors.
Engineers were sent to Tennessee.
Georgia and other States through
which the road ls'to run, and the re
ports they brought back were so en
couraging that a general agreement to
the plan of reorganization was pro
posed. During tbe week just passed
nearly every creditor has affixed his
signature. Now only a few small ones
have not signed, and these are expect
ed to come within tbe next day or so.
As soon as this is done application will
be made to hand the property over to
the stockholders.
The engineers' examination resulted
n ascertaining the fact that if between
$600,000 and $70o,000 is expended on the
road at once it can be so far completed
that interest may be earned upon all
the bonds that have been issued.
'Arrangements have been made."
said a gentleman heavily interested in
the road, to borrow the money neces
sary to do this work, and iust as soon
as tbe plan of reorganization goes
through it will be forthcoming. We
propose to immediately put a large
force of men at work, and before tbe
end of the year we will have several
hundred miles of the road in operation
and paying a good return "
COLLEGE BOAT RACING.
Columbia's Crew Win, Maltlne
Tbe
Best Time on Record
New London, June 24. Columbia
wins by three lengths; time 9:41. Yale
second, two lengths ahead of Harvard;
time 9:53. Harvard, third time 9:56.
Columbia's time is now the best on
record. Tbe result of the race is a big
surprise to nearly every one who has
watched the practice work of the three
crews. Harvard was generally piciced
as the winner with the Yale pushing
ber closely, while Columbia was almost
counted out of tbe race.
All the morning a stiff breeze blew
down the river and the waves threat
ened to ewamp any shell that ventured
out. Toward noon, however, the wind
died away and the water calmed down
bo that it was decided to start. The
water and wind favored the crew most
decidedly, there being a strong tide
running out and the wind blowing with
the tide. This accounts largely for
fast tim-i made by all of the crews.
Tbe Sun's Cotton Review.
New York. June 24 The Sun's
cotton review says: Futures opened
at 4(rf5 points advance, presently de
clined, further declined, partially re
covered, losing quiet at 8 to 4 points
decline from yesterday s closing prices.
The early advance was in reponse to
an advance of a 64:3-64 lor futures at
Liverpool, and much more activity In
spot cotton there. But a slight reac
tion there caused heavy selling to
realize. The best prices were made in
the first call when prices broke. The
decline was not checked until they
had receded 12(gl3 points. August
dropped from $810 to $7.97 and
January from $8.63 to $8.50. The buy
ers of yesterday tumbled over each
other in their eagerness to sell. Tbe
lowest figures were made about noon
after which speculation was desultory
and values uncertain; a partial recov
ery not being well sustained. The
crop accounts were good; excessive
rains in the northern belt had ceased
Spot cotton was steady.

Setzure of Fertilisers.
Raleigh,, June 24 Special.
Today at Oxford, Inspector Terrell, of
the Agricultural Department, seized
131 sacks of fertilizers for the Farmers'
Alliance official fertilizer manufactured
by the! Durham Fertilizer company,
the cause of the seizure being that the
fertilizer was of a lot of 200 sacks,139 of
which had been delivered to the farm
ers without having the license tax tags
required. The sacks seized were
tagged, yesterday. This is the third
time In the past few weeks this com
pany has gotten into trouble.
The executive committee of the State
Press Association met here this after

It was decided that it should be held at

excursion to Wilkesboro, on a railway
which will be' by that time completed.
CHINESE PERSECUTION.
J
Our missionaries in Cblna Persecuted
by tbat People.
Washington, June 24. The Navy
Department has received a few short
cablegrams from Admiral Belknap,
commanding tbe United States squad
ron on tbe China station, confirmatory
of the i news received by way of San
Francisco, of the persecution of foreign
missionaries by the Chinese. The Ad
miral has sent all of his available t-hips
to Shanghai, point most threatened.
The Alliance, Monocracy and Palos
constitute this force. These are three
vessels of antiquated build but one of
which would dare to go to sea. But
from their light draft they are very
useful in Chinese rivers. The squad
ron will be strengthened in the course
ot time by the Lancaster, now at New
York; which is expected to sail for
China in a few days under the com
mand of Admiral Harmony. The ves
sel is a slow craft and will go by the
way of the Cape of Good Hope, so that
it will take some months for her to
reach her destination
Blessings of Co-operation.
TOPEKA, Kan., June 23. Van Buren
Prather, State lecturer of the Kansas
Alliance, has adressed a communica
tion to the congressional alliance set
ting the plan for organization in com
pliance with the plans the national
council formulated at Washington last
February. ,
The address is important in that it
gives the first official declaration,show
ing that the system of co operation is
to hereafter form the substructure of
the Alliance government. On this point
the address says:
We have been working upon the com
petitive plan until we are nearly a na
tion i of wealth-producing paupers.
Other have been working upon the co
operative plan, and are wealthy. Show
the difference to our people. We
are the masters of the situation, not
only politically, but from a busi
ness 1 standpoint buying or sell
ing - if we will only learn the
great lesson of co-operation. I would
advise not less than two days for lectu
rers' meeting and schooling upon the
different topics for discussion. Present
an unbroken front and march on to
victory by following the pricciples of
co operation. Then millions of wage
slaves will Boon be emancipated and
happiness and prosperity will be our
reward. The laborer is worthy of bis
hsre, and by the eternal he shajl have
t."
f Tbe Cblcas;o Market.
CHICAGO, June 24. Wheat was ap
parently friendless today.having wound
up the deals in the dangerous months,
shorts were ready for scalping trades,
and proceeded to offer selected lots on
a descending scale; while the longs
were with them in an effort to get rid
of their holdings. The result was a
very weak and declining market. July
opened 93(fl$93c, sold up to ,934c, re
acted to 92ic, grew steady for a time,
but weakened again, selling off to 92
and closing at 921
July corn opeued at 54c, against 54ic
at the close yesterday. There
was little or no demand but the
selling was persistent and aggressiye
almost from the start. Long corn was
sacrificed freely. Short selling was on
an enormous scale and the exe jutioa of
stop lots)orders completed the demorali
zation. After touching 54c, the de
cline began and with one or two minor
reactions dropped to 631c. Then there
was a rally to 531c. a id at tbe close it
was 52f c.
Oats had a strong start owing to tbe
fact that only 84 cars were re
ceived when 130 had been expected.
July sold early at S5i(a33, then broke,
in sympathy with corn and sold off to
35c; reached to 35J. again weakened
and closed at bottom price of ihe day.
Provisions ruled weak, influenced
chiefly by the weakness in the grain
pits. . Trade was generally dull and
fluctuations were confined within an
extremely limited range.
A Grave Question
Nashville, Tenn., June 24. An At
lanta, Ga special says of Will Osburn
who is to bang on Friday, that this is a
question which all Atlanta is discuss
ing, Osburn is a well connected young
man who in a discussion over fifty cents
worth of potatoes brutally murdered J
M. Bradley, a groceryman. Osburn
was In the brokerage business. He was
tried, convicted and sentenced to bang.
Case appealed, but tbe Supreme Court
refused to interfere and Friday next
the hangiLg is to take place. Osburn'e
physical condition is terrible. He
wasted away to almost nothing and tbe
county physician has beeu so certain
his mental strength is gone, 'hat be
has made affidavit to that effect, and
to-day officials decided that an
examination be a made. Last evening
he was visited by many medical ex
perts, who are to testify in the case
There is with them a diversity of opin
ion as to tae man's sanity. He Is cer-
tiinly, however, a physical wreck, and
strong fforts are being made to induce
uovernor Northern to delay execution
and prevent the spectacle of hanging a
man who has to be held up by main
force while the noose is being . ad
justed. The whole city is discussing
tbe case.
Crimes Attributed to Frank Cooler
P ttsbdrg, June 24. Frank Cool ey

but Union town officers frankly say they
will not risk their lives for the petty
reward offered. The Cooley gang num

mountains where a regiment could not
find them.

A FEARFUL STORM.
Wind and Rain Does Its Certain
Work.
WATERLOO, Iowa, June 24. A terri
ble wind and rain storm prevailed last
night along the llinois Central railroad

All Disputed Points A mlcablj Settled
and the Work Will Proceed.
CHICAGO, June 24.At a meeting of
the World's fair directors last night
the lake front site question was finally
settled. The question was where to

making a united site. A resolution
was passed reaffirming the action of
the late board of directors in locating
the entire exhibit at Jackson Park, en
dorsing the action of the committee on
grounds and building in reference to
this matter and declaring that any
