Mr. Cutcbeon, Chairman of the Mili

create what is to be known as “the Sea
coast and Frontier Reserve of the United

bill the Secretary of War may from fimt
to time accept for such scacoast and frou
tier reaerve a regiment from each of tin
States, with the exception of New York.
Pennsylvania and California, from which
he may accept, at his discretion, two
regiments each. These regiments are to
belong to the regular State militia or Na
tional Guard, but for one month in each
year tfity are to be encamped at some for
tified place or military post, and to be
grilled jp the manning and defense of
teacoaat and frontier fortifications, and
:n the us aid operation of heavy ord

tuch as submarine mines, torpedoes, etc.
While encamped for this"exercise and in
itruction under United States officers the
men are to be paid and subsisted by the
United States the same as though they
were regular troops. Under this scheme
it a very moderate cost the Government
would secure an experienced body of men
who would be of great service in defend

The bill, as agreed upon, changes the
boundaries of the proposed territory of

that as soon ns the ludian claim to this

Secretary Proctor lias transmitted tc
the house the report of Quartermaster-
General Robinson in regard to the condi
tiou of affairs in the overflowed di-tricl
of Bt. James and Ascension parishes, Lou
isiana. General Robinson says that the
situation is deplorable, and hundreds ol
planters have lost their crops, while thou
sands of laborers will soon be thrown out
of employment. At Grande Point, where
there were probably 00 to 80 families, the
people escaped in skiffs, and the whole
precinct is underwater. Opposite the
levee break at N’ita numerous poor whites
and colored |>oople lost all but their lives.
He recommends instant action tending tc
the relief of the sufferers by the United
States. There is liable to be in Bt. James,
St. Johns aud Ascension parishc a total
of s,tEiO persons destitute within the
month.
The secretary of State, on Monday
morning, telegraphed Captain Bonrke, iu
charge of the special train that was car
rying the Pan-Americans on their South
ern tour, to return to Washington from
Richmond, Va. This was done because
so few of the delegates desired to make
the excursion. Thirteen of the foreign
delegates accepted the invitation, but
only two of them—Martinez Silva, of
Columbia, and Zegarra, of Peru, —left
Was ington with the party. The others
sent letters of regret, giving various
reasons for withdrawing their ac
ceptance. Some were detaine 1 by
important business; some were
called to New York by telegraph;
others had decided to start at once for
their homes, and the rest were ill or too
tired to make the journey. Several
promised to join the excursion at Rich
mond, Mondqy,but were un ble to do so,
and the secretary of state decided that
the number of those going would not
justify the expense of the journey, which
would cost as much as if the entire con
ference had gone. The secretary said
that he sincerely regretted that the com
mercial organization and citizens of the
south who had made preparations to en
tertain the delegates had to be disap
pointed, but felt that they would appre
ciate the circumstances which compelled
the abandonment of the excursion.

Thu Green county, Ga., Alliancemen,
at a recent meeting, adopted the follow

“Whereas, Legislation in the past,both
state and national, Ims beeu largely of a
class nature, favoring in many instances
the interests of monopolies und trusts,
which we believe to be diametrically op
posed to the true spirit of our govern
ment ; and
Whereas, AVe believe the agricultural
interests have been, to a large extent, ig
nored, and farmers unjustly taxed to pay
the sal rics of legislators and others for
services not rendered; therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the Alliancemen of
Green county, Ga.. pledge ourselves to
support no man for governor, legislature,
congress or other oflice of trust in the ap
proaching elections, who has not proved
himself to be in full sympathy with the
principles of our order, and who is not
avowedly opposed to the payment of the
“per diem” of legislators absent from du
ty, without providential cause, and who
will not agree to nive to the agricultural
interests his best support, first last and
all the time. And we do earnestly ap
peal to all the County Alliances 'hrough
out the -tate to pass similar rcso.utions,
and abide unfalteringly by them.
Resolved, That we will stick to cottov
bagging, aud th t hereafter in purchas

etc., v e will give preference to such as
are put up in cotton sacks.”
It is learned from the officers of the
State Farmers’ Alliance of North Carolina
that there have been issued ninety-three
charters to county Alliances, and 207 to
sub Alliances, of which latter only thirty
two have been returned. All the counties
v avo Alleghany, Dare and New Haven,
have county organizations. Wake leads
in the number of sub-Alliances, having
fifty-seven, Chatham coming next with
tifty-two. The gain in membership in
the past year has been over sixteen
thousand. The state business agency of
the Alliance is doing an immense work.
It has furnished two sub-Alliances this
season twelve thousand tons of its special
fertilizer, and its sales of ohter supplies,
mainly provisions, average forty
thousand dol ars per month. The state
business agent says that other effects of
the sale of special brands of fertilizers
made for the Alliance at a special rate has
resulted in a decline of prices charged for
the brands aud he estimates that this
season alone the business agency has
saved the farmers over half a million dol
lars in the matter of fertilizers alone.
