Chagrin in Katieas.
Fort Worth, Tex., July 11.—The prin
cipal feature of the state alliance conven
tion this morning was the speech of U. S.
Hall, president of the Missouri alliance. He
charges that Dr. Macune had sold out for a
money consideration to the protectionists,
and in furtherance of that bargain the third
party ruovo was inaugurated in the south
to divert democratic votes. He said
that it was no disgrace for such a dishonest
man as Macune to get into the alliance, but
it would become a disgrace if he was not
turned out. President Hall was loudly
applauded. Last night Harry Tracy Ma
cune, the chief apostle iu Texas, gave an
open challenge for a debate on the sub
treasury scheme. Mr. Hall aocepted. The
debate occurs to-night. T racy claims to have
some unsavory facts about Mr. Hall’s ca
reer, newly discovered, which he proposes
to turn loose to-night. The sub-treasury
ites, of whom a squad walked out of the
convention yesterday, are red hot. It is
believed that the outcome of the conven
tion will beasplit of the state alliance into
factions, one representing the third party
and the other the democratic wing.
KANSAS LEADERS CHAGRINED.
Topeka, Kans., July 11. —The alliance
leaders in Kansas are greatly chagrined and
worried at the notion of certain lenders of
the southern alliance, in calling on the Fort
Worth (Tex.) convention to resolve
agiurist the sun-treasury Idea. They claim
that it is the scheme of southern demo
crats to break up the alliance, and
that prominent democratic congressmen
are at the bottom of it. The Kausas load
ers swear that this action is but the begin
ning of a movement that will disrupt the
organization in Kansas, as thousands of
republicans who affiliated with the People’s
party iast year would follow the course of
their southern brethern and go back to
their old party.
A DSNUNCJIATOBY RESOLUTION.
The antl-sub-treasury bill state ponveu
tion of the farmers’ alliance today adopted
the following resolution:
That we denounce the sub-treasury and land
loan schemes and icnverA mental ownership of
railroads as a Violation of the first principles of
good government, as paternal in
their character, as centralizing in
their tendencies, and if enacted
Into law they would create such a horde of na
tional officeholders as would fasten the
clutches of the party in power upon the throats
of the people so strongly that the voices of
honest patriotic citizens would no longer be
heard in the control of the government affairs,

Fighting the Flames.
Baclt Stk Marie, Mich., July 11. —
The entire wooded portion of Chippowa
county and Canadian territory north of it
are on fire. The settlers are being burned
out and everybody is fighting the flames.
Dotour, Mills, Gatos, Haber, Wellsburg,
Boammon. i.heve and many other places
are in imminent danger. At Detour people
have their household effects (tacked ready
to take to Lake Huron by boat. There has
been no rain for over three months, and tho
country is in a s.milar condition to that dur
ing the dreadful fire of 1873 when
hundreds of people perished all through the

difficult, and so dense is tne air with smoke
that the St. Mary’s river is navigated with
difficulty, resulting in the grounding of five
boats.

St. Ignace, Mich., July 11.—One of the
most destructive forest tires which ever
swept through the northern peninsula is
raging between Marquette and this
city, along the line of the Duluth.
South Shore and Atlantic railway. For
hundreds of miles nothing can be seen but
one mass of flame, and the density ■ f the
smoke is so pronounced that the beaming
sun appears like a golden ball. Railroad
officials have large crowds of men stations l
along the track, battling against the Are,

around Escanabia bay.

democrats will be victorious. Speaking of
tho probable attitude of the southern re
publicans in the next republican national
convention, he said that it was simply not
worth while to mention the name o' any
one but President Harrison in connection
with the nomination. All the republicans
of Mississippi aro for President Harrison,
and so they are in the other southern stares.
He will have the southern delegation in tho

eral election in Great Britain, home rule
may carry the day. Mr. Parnell is severely
criticized for his com so. Following is an
extraot: “Let us learn from the lesson
taught by Mr. Parnell. Let us speak to the
people of Ireland at the present
crisis with no uncertain voice.
Their splendid action at the by
elections prove they have even
anticipated our wishes. They must lay
aside forover hero worship and one-man
leadership. Full representation, free as
semblage, fair discussion nnd temp-rate
rule of tho majority must be the guiding
principles, and with a single mind the union
must resolve that for no man must the
oause of Ireland be saorifioed."

Berlin, July 11.—Tho papers of this city
overflow with accounts of the popular
triumph of the Emperor William in Lon
don. Semi-official papers, in commenting
on the reception of the German emperor in
Eugland, adopt a remarkably guarded
tone, and avoid all reference to
au alliance with England as an
accomplished fact. These papers simply re
echo the emperor’s speech at Guild hall.
Thus the North German Gazette remarks
that the emperor’s utterances at the Guild
hallcolnoideoompietaly with the views of
the industrious and energetic people of
Great Britain iu favor of the maintenance
of peace.
DON’T INDORSE SALISBURY.
Independent papers criticize the emperor’s
reception us emphasizing the friendly senti
ments of England toward Germany and
toward the emperor as a relative of the
royal family without being a popular in
dorsement of the policy of Lord Sails jury.
The t'reissinniye Zeitung holds that the
general charaotor of the celebrations iu
honor of tho emperor, and especially thoss
of the court and government accordingly
must be taken as an open declaration of
Knglanu’s adhesion to the dreibund. Ar
ticles in the Russian and French press, illus
trating the Intensity of the Irritation felt in
Russia and France toward England are
largely qaoted.
A FRANCO-RUBSIAN scheme.
A startling report which has caused con
siderable tali in diplomatic circles, has re
cently been circulated here. It is to the ef
feot that M. Blbot, the French minister of
foreign affairs, has approached the Russian
government on the subject of a coalition
against Eugland, offering to co-operate with
Russia in the seizure of Constantinople and
the formation of anew Turkish state in
Asia, embracing Egypt, under Franco Rus
sian protection. Apart from the question
of tho probability of its truth, the report
has value as indiuating the tendency of
Lord Salisbury’s dreibund policy. Nobody
believes that the French and Russian gov
ernments will accept Lord Salisbury’s ver
bal assurances of friendlinesr iu the face of
England’s practical adaasiou to their ene
mies.
A GAME O'P DIPLOMACY.
The game of diplomacy against Eng
land's retention of Egypt has been already
re-opened. According to the Cologne
Gazette, the sultan, acting under tae
promptings of tho French and Russian
ministers, recently held a council, at
which it was proposed that
the ports should call a con
ference of the European powers
to consider the question of the evacuation
of Egypt. Telegraniß received here from
Constantinople, with reference to diplo
matic movements hostile to England, say
that the porte has invited the French gov
ernment to resumo the initiative ia a move
ment against English occupation of Egypt.
SPLIT OF THE SOCIALISTS.
Internal feuds among the socialists are in
creasing in their intensity, and meetings
held during the past week mark a stage of
open and declared rupture between the
young and old sections of the party. In a

fended his recent patriotlo declarations that

of the integrity of the empire should it be
assailed by France or anv other foreign
nation. He advocated moderate progress

According to a decision recently rendered
by the supreme court, socialist? are as much

tho journeymen painters, which began ten
weeks ago, against the uew rules laid down
by the master painters was ofllcially|declared

hostility in their own ranks.
The plumbers have also surrendered, and
will start to work next week under the

The bricklayers are the only ones now

Beven Thousand Regulars and 18,000
Militiamen in the Line—The Emperor
Accompanied by tho Prince of Wales
and H s ttaff -A Big Crowd Out to
Bee the Suow.
London, July 11. —Tho Emperor of Ger
many remaiued at the btato ball given at
Buckingham palace until 3 o’clock this
morning. At h o’clock he took breakfast,
and attended to busineae with his secreta
ries. He afterward reviewed the Yeoman
of the Guard.
Tne emperor and einpres3 and their suites
at 3 o’clock left London by rail for Wim
bledon station to witness the big event of
the day, the review of England’s volunteer
soldiery. From Wimbleton station the
route to the parade ground was lavishly
decorated with flags and flowers in almost
endless prof 1191011.
ARRIVAL OF TriE TROOPS.
Early in the morning the British volun
teer regimei.ta and regime..fcs of regulars
detailed to assist in the parade began to ar
rive at \\ irnbledon from all directions.
W ith the early regiments crowds of people
from Loudon and the country
flocked toward Wimbledon common,
tho old Croodmor of England, and
began to take up favorable positions from
which to see tho troops. The regiments
which were among the first to arrive did so
iu a smart soldier-like manner. It was
evident at a glance that their commanding
officers had done their u'most to turn out
the “citizen soldiery” in a-< clean cut an a
business-like a manner as possible.
THU OFFICERS WELL SECONDED.
The men themselves appeared to have
seconded the endeavors of their officers to
the utmost of their ability nud seemed to
be determined to make ns good a showing
as they eouid before the emperor, who
had beau reported to have re
marked that he did not care
to see •• tradesmen masquerading
as soldiers.” The weathsr was glorious.
The embarkation of the troops upon the
railroad trains was accomplished in a quiet,
orderly, soldierly manner. Many of the
volunteer regiments in order to show the
emperor that they were not such
"rear rankers" as some pe iple
supposed, preferred to march
in full heavy marching order all the way to
Wimbled in Instead of taking the cars, and
in not a few cases, back again to their regi
mental districts, some of these regiments
thus falling in for a good twenty to twenty -
flve miles tramp.
CP.ECK ORGANIZATIONS.
Detachments of the Life Guards, Horse
Guards, dr ago ins, lancer*, hussars and
artillery arrived early in the day, and th so
picked cavalrymen were soon followed by
the regular infautry of the line and
after them came the Grenadier Uuards,
Coidstream Guards and Boot’s Fusl
leer Guards. If these really flue
troops were well received by the crowds
which had by that time gathered on Wim
bledon's sward, it was as nothing to the ap
plause when the gallant Highland regi
ments, England's bunny 8c its, marched to
the front with their bagpipes playing.
23,000 MEN OCT.
By 2:30 o’clock all the regulars, number
ing from 6,000 to 7,000 men, were in the posi
tions assigned to them, though the volun
teers were still pouring in living streams
upon the common. The entire body of
troops was under the supreme command
of his royal highness, the Duke of
Cambridge, commander-in-chief of the
British array, and the troops, estimated at
about 16,000 voluntee sand about 7,000
regulars. This force was divided Into two
brigades of infautry, under command of
the Duke of Connaught and of Sir Evelyn
Wood, K. C. 8., respectively.
ARRIVAL OF THE EMPEROR.
At 4 o’clook the artillery thundered out a
salvo and the German imperial standard
was run up on the flag staff at the review
