Tie State Farmers' Alliance Denounces Them. Proceedings of the State Convention at Fresno. Bread and Work Demanded In Response to the Grlea of Hunger, Inetead of Bullets and Bayonets. Coast Vote. By the Associated Press. Fribno, Oct. 18.—At the convention of the state Farmers' alliance this morning, the committee on resolutions made a report denouncing monopolies of labor-saving implements and wealth producing agencies, as being directly responsible for over-production and over-supply of labor, and expressing the opinion that the responsible persons should either be compelled to render back to society a.i their special privil eges, or to care for the unemployed. The committee also condemned the implied threat of the state authorities to respond to the cries of hunger from the unemployed with bullets, bayonets and getting guns, instead of bread and work. Another resolution submitted and adopted condemns all projects looking to the cession of the arid lands by con gress to the states and territories, «h a scheme of corporation and monopoly agents to gain control.

Adjourned till tomorrow. Delegates from the various industrial legions of the state met ard reported a measure for raising funds for campaign purposes.

London, Oct. 18. —At Glasgow last night Henry Asqnith, secretary of state for home affairs, announced, contrary to the impression made by Gladstone's late speech, that the home rule bill would not be taken up at the next ses sion of parliament, but that the New castle programme would be carried out. This means that the Irish question is shelved for some time. Half breeds Barred. Washington, Oct. 18. —The secretary of the interior has approved the decision of the assistant attorney general that halfbreede who were paior scrip under tbe act of 1854 are not entitled as "In dians" to allotment.

Sevoral Large Factories Horned - Tin, Kntire Fire Department of the City Called Out—No Loaf of Lire Koported. New York, Oct. 18.—Several men were engaged in the extensive wall paper bouse of William Campbell & Co., on Wejt Forty-first street tonight, get ting ready samples for the road, when fire broke out in the engine room, and then like a flash spread through the entiro structure. The entire lire depart ment turned out. Borne of the sur rounding buildings which were sup posed to be doomed, were saved. T'le men in the sample room were rescued with difficulty. The tire spread so fast that the police decided to clear out all the occupants of the block. The first property destroyed • was the six-story factory of Hart As Nevius of Tenth avenue and Forty-second street. Then came five dwelling houses and_»_t.l)Tee-fctory frame store; th»u the factory ol William Camptoeil & CO.

Union Paclllo Receivers Will Abide by the Northwestern Coutraol. Omaha, Oct. 18. —The rumor that the receivers of the Union Pacific me con templating as the first step toward put ting the property in stronger shape the abrogation of the contract made a num ber of years ago between the North western and the Union Pacific, is stren uously denied at headquarters. Gen eral Passenger Agent Lomax said: "It is foolish to think the receivers will abrogate a contract that is mutually advantageous. All this talk about the abrogation of the contractis both prema ture and illy warranted by the facts in the case. There is no possibility of the Northwestern completing its line to Ogden, thereby depriving the Union Pa cific of the business which now cornea to it by right, as long as the contract is in effect. The contract stipulates what shall be done and what shall not be done during the life of the agreement, and building into our territory is ex pressly prohibited. The contract is ad vantageous in many ways and the talk of abrogation is decidedly wrong." — -~ Yellow Fever at Boston. Boston, Oct. 18. —Thirteen of the cre*V of a British steamer which arrived here yesterday from Froteegesso, Mexico, are sick with what is supposed to be yellow fever. The vessel ia held at Quarantine and will not be allowed to come to the city until the nature of the disease has been determined. Two died at sea. Dr. Durbtn tonight says there is noth ing in the history of the cases that war rants the diagnosis of yellow fever. A further examination will be made to morrow which may result in a positive statement of the case. Later. —There is no yellow fever in Boston. It is true several men on board the English freight steamer Merkfull, who arrived hero today from Progneso, Yucatan, were ill during the voyage, but it was not yellow jack. Found Dead In Bud.

The Anniversary of His Elevation to the Episcopacy, Many Dlatlngulahed Churchmen Pres ent—The Pope's Congratulations and Blasting; by Latter and Phonograph. By the Associated Presi. Baltimore, Oct. 18.—The festivities in honor of the episcopal jubilee of Car dinal Gibbons began today. The ca thedral and Catholic institutions of the city are elaborately decorated. The faithful children of the mother church gathered by thousands early to witness the procession :>f church dignitaries, which included, besides the cardinal himself and Monsignor Satolli, every archbishop in the hierarchy except Ri ordan of San Francisco, Kendrick of St. Louis and Salpointe of Mexico, besides a large number of bishops, priests and seminarians. The procession moved from the archepiscopal residence to the cathedral, where the pontifical high mass was celebrated with most imposing ceremonies. Gibbops and Satolli occu pied tbroneß. The cardinal celebrated mass and the sermon was delivered by Archbishop Corrigan of New York, the ceremony closing with the reading of a letter from the pope bestowing the apos tolic benediction on the cardinal, after which the procession reformed and marched to the cardinal's palace. Immediately after the sermon Rev. Father Hooker, vice-regent of the Amer ican college in Rome, read the pope's letter of congratulations as follows: "Leo XIII, pope, to our beloved son. James Cardinal Gibbons, archbishop of Baltimore, health and apostolic benedic tion. In the month of October next re curs the auspicious day on which five and twenty years ago you were raised to the episcopal dignity. We, therefore, prompted by your devoted attachment to ua and by our affectionate regard for you, express feelings oi the heartiest congratulations wherewith we welcome this occasion, that is no less joyous for as than it is for you. And while we render thanks to Almighty God, who hitherto had you in His holy keeping, we humbly beseech Him in His Roodnets to grant you the privilege which he has this year mercifully vouchsafed to us (of celebrat ing the golden jubilee of onr episcopate.) In the meantime we send you a memor ial of this gracious anniversary, intend ing it likewise as a token of our earnest good will towards you, We, moreover, invoke upon you every blessing for your happiness and welfare, and lovingly im part to you, your clergy and the faithful intrusted to your care, our apostolic benediction." In'presenting the letter, Dr. Hooker made an address felicitating the cardinal and expressing the affection of . the American college at Rome and repeating the cordial .good wishes which His Holi ness in his letter expressed to him. The musical programme was the most impressive feature of the occasion. The mass was sung by a very large choir, with organ and orchestral accompani ments, while the Gregorian chanting of the Credo and the Te Deum by semina rians, 300 in number, was even more impressive. Immediately after mass at the cathe dral, the prelates and clergy went to St. Mary's seminary, where they were en tertained at dinner by the president. From the dining hall the cardinal was escorted to the manette, where an ad drees of congratulation was presented by the venerable Monsignor McColgan. Responding to the toast the cardinal spoke grateful ly of the honors tendered him. In closing he proposed a toast to the papal nuncio, and the toast was drank standing. Archbishop Satolli responded in Latin. "The Seeof Baltimore" was responded to by Archbishop Kain of St. Louis, and "Our Country," by Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia. "Our Hierarchy," by Bishop Hennessy of Kansas. Then followed an interesting feature. Dr, McCarty brought out tho phono graph and those who were near enough could hear a message in the pope's well modulated tones: "From the city of Rome, Leo XIII sends to the people of America cordial greetings and best wishes. Most heart ily do we congratulate the country flourishing in civilization and wealth and the glory of growing industries. We take pleasure and joy in the honors fittingly rendered to Cardinal Gibbons. We wish you, through the blessing of Heaven, a copious increase of happi ness and pleasure. The pilgrims of the Catholic church we embrace with you, and especially we bestow upon them the apostolic benediction." This concluded the exercises. In the evening pontifical vespers were celebrated at the cathedral. Arch bishop Ireland delivered a sermon. Storm Ravage* in Mexico. Guadalajara, Mex., Oct. 18. —The recent storm which swept along the Pacific coast, west of here, did more damage than was at first reported. In undations in Te.jic territory caused many thousands of dollars of loss to stockmen and farmers, and entire vil lages were swept away. The number of lives lost is now placed at 150. Many bodies have already been recovered, and search for the missing ones still con tinues. MaoMahon Lying; In State. Paris, Oct. 18. —The remains of ex- President MacMahon are lying in state at Monstcresson. The family agree to a public funeral, which takes place, at the end of tbe montb. It is important to know that a correct fit in fine tailoring can be had at moder ate prices from H. A. Getz, 112 West Third street. TWELVE PAGES. THAT MISSING MONEY. The American Express Company Said to Have Lost 5850,000. St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 18.—The reticence of the American Express people regard ing the disappearance of $50,000, is im penetrable, but from another source, which has at least more than a shadow of credibility, comes the statement that the amount was $250,007, .ustead of $50,000. New York, Oct. 18.—The officials of tbe American Kxpreee company here admit that a shortage of $22,000 was discovered in a package shipped to New Orleans, via St. Louis, when it reached the latter place, but decline to say more, believing the money has been mislaid at some point. SAVED FROM Til X DEEP. Eighty-nine Lives Saved by a Bteamer Arrived at Galveston. Galveston, Tex., Oct. 18.—The. steam ship Palmas from Liverpool, via Ten eriffe, arrived this afternoon. The Palmas has on board 8!) of the passengers and crew of tbe French steamer Mar seilles, picked up October lOtb, the Marseilles having been lost in a gale while bound from Bordeaux for New Orleans. Four passengers and one of the crew were lost and 8!) saved. The passengers are in a most destitute con dition, having saved nothing except the clothes they wore when the Marseilles went down.' JOURNEYMEN FARMERS. SECRETARY MORTON SPEAKS ON THE SI LVER QUESTION. Be Give* tUe Populleta m Touching I> and Denounce* the Granco end Alli ance Org-anlaatlone as of No BeneHt. Chicago, Oct. 18.—Secretary of Agri culture Morton epoke on the silver question before the national world's fair commission today. He gave the Populists a touching up incidentally. He epoke in part as follows: "To be Bure, as your president liaa intimated, underlying all sciences and arts is agriculture, and it has just begun to dawn upon the agricultural minds that it needs individual development and self reliance in each citizen, rather than gregarious organizations, which may be deputized or given a power of attorney to think for the farmers, "We all understand that so far the Grange and Alliance organizations have attended to something else than farm ing; they have beeu worked, to use tbe parlance of the day, by journeymen farmers who for political purposes farmed tbe farmers. These organiza tions, as a rule, Attended to everything except agriculture. Many fallacies which have been evolved for the allure ment of the farmer are very catching. Tbe teaching of many of the journey men farmers has been to the effect that the money of the .country is simply a legal fiction. That what our people need first and foremost fs an honest, unfluc tuating measures of values. If gold is the best money in the world then the United States wants gold. We must have a permanent standard of debt set tlement, a permanent and unfluctuating measure of values and a medium of ex change. It seems to me this great con gress of all nations illustrates fully the fact that the commerce of tbe world is the exchange of products, and the money only settles the unadjusted balances." Hon. Patrick Walsh of Georgia then spoke briefly in response to Secretary Morton and invited him to be preeent at tbe Augusta exposition. WORLD'S FAIR NOTES. A Cordial Reoapttnn {liven Iha Earl and Countess of Aberdeen. Chicago, Oct. 18—Another glorious autumn day greeted the school children at the fair, and they fairly overran the gatekeepers in their eagerness to get in side. Thousands of Canadians and Canadian- Americans gathered at the Canadian pavilion today to pay their respects to the earl and countess of Aberdeen. An address wan presented to the earl on be half of the Canadians, assuring him that bis appointment as governor-general was regarded with tbe highest satisfac tion. The earl responded at some length, exDressing thanks for tbe warm greeting, and extended a cordial invita tion to the gueßts to meet himself and Lady Aberdeen at the Irish village to morrow. Tbe total admissions today were 323, --941, of which 290,121 were paid. A Retrenchment mil. Washington, Oct. 18. —Representative Curtis of Kansas today introduced a bill to discontinue the office of collector of customs at a large number of portß in the United States. Among the places specified are: Humboldt (Eureka, Cal.), Southern Oregon, (Coos Bay, Ore.), and Yaquina, Ore., the ports to be closed in 30 days and consolidated with the ad joining districts, as tbe secretary of the treasury may deem prudent. Curtis Bays the receipts at these ports are less than the expenses. Death of Widow Conkling. Utica, N. Y„ Oct. 18.—Mrs. Roscoe Conkling died at her hotel in this city this afternoon. Mrs. Conkling was a Bister of the late Horatio Seymour. She was more than 60 years old, but retained traces of ber original great beauty.

Efforts Being Made to Heal the Breach. The Senate Steering: Commit tee Again at Work. Brogress Made Toward Agreeing; on a Compromise Bill. An Attempt to Get the Party to Go Into Caucns on the Sliver Question. Acrlmonlons Debate la the Senate. By the Afsociated Press. W a sin not on, Oct. 18. —The Demo* cratic steering committee of the senate was in session a great part of the day trying to devise a scheme for the settle ment of the differences existing on the financial question on that aide of the chamber, and appearances at the close of the day indicated that aorne progress was made. It is asserted that the com mittee progressed far enough to prepare a rough draft of a bill which ii to be submitted to the senate as soon as the majority of the senators can be con sulted upon its merits. The members of the committee refused to confirm the report, as did also those with whom they consulted. The story afloat also asserted that the bill which was to be submitted would simply provide for the extension of the present law for a year from the first of next July. One great obstacle which apparently stands in the way of progress is the attitude of the repeal advocates. It is stated that r,n effort is being made to bring these members to see the im portance of a settlement of the question, and the scheme to bring about a party measure will be dropped if this is uu successful, and the Republican senators will be asked to join the Democrats, so as to make a majority of the senate The Democratic conference for the present has given way to a consultation of senators individually, and it will not be decided upon until iate in the week if at all. In a discussion of the situation th s afternoon, Senator Pett grew eaid: "The Democrats as a party cannot agree, nor can the Republicans as a party. There are 38 senators —Republicans, Demo crats and Populißts— against repeal and eight are counted with the repealers wto nre anxious for a compromise. When either of the parties can agree upon a measure, the silver and eompromiee men will get together and frame a bill which wiil go through because they will have the voteß to put it through." Vest is circulating a call for a caucus of all the Democratic senators. It pledges them to abide by the result, if any ia reached. Tbe silver men sign it readily, but the repeal mtn are holding off. It is doubtful whether Gorman will issue the call unless the desire for it beams pretty general, as he thinks it ia likely it will do more harm than good. Voorhees said to day he would make an effort to continue for the present the recess system inaugurated last evening. His plan is to have the senate sit each day from 10 a. m. to 6p. m. He is of the opinion that this will prove tbe best plan for turning out work and getting rid of long speeches. He thinks the end of the long debate is near, and intimates that the present wet-k may close it. SENATE PROCEEDINGS. Morgan Replies to Hill Daniel and Mill* Lock Horns* Washington, Oct. 18,—On reconven ing this morning tbe senate listened to Morgan of Alabama on tbe motion of Dolph of Oregon to amend Monday's journal so as to show tbe presence of Allen at 6:30 p.m. of that day, Allen having failed to answer when his name was called. Morgan devoted most of his remarks to a reply to Hill's speech of yesterday, taking occasion to charac terize the latter as an astute politician, rather than a fair-minded lawyer, in twisting a decision of the supreme court to serve bis purpose, adding that it took an easy conscience to follow the su preme court in all its decisions. Morgan continued at great length, touching on his part in the rebellion, oi which he was not ashamed, and saidl "Tbe clock struck at the White Hons* and the cuckoos in the senate put their beads out of a box and responded, and informed us of the time of day." At the conclusion of Morgan's speech Voorhees moved to lay on tbe table tbe motion of Dolph to amend the journal. It was agreed to: Yeas, 45; nays, 3. Teller (Rep.) of Colorado then moved to amend tbe journal so that it would show his presence on a certain roll call when he did not respond to hie name, and he addressed the senate. He quoted from a statement of Carlisle in regard to insisting upon the passage of the repeal bill and said: "What right has the secretary of tbe treasury to in terfere with us in this matter? 1 recent it myself as a breach oi privilege. When we surrender our convictions, whether it be on the advice of the pres ident or on account of public clamor, tbe degradation of the eenate will begiu and the usefulness of the senate will be at an end." He eaid when the senate declined to be stamped by boards of trade, etc., it would command the respect of tbe American people. Allen of Nebraska here suggested that no quorum was present. Roll call de veloped the feet that 48 senators were present, and Teller proceeded. Speak ing of his right to refrain from voting, Teller referred to the fact that Cockling. Carpenter and Blame when members of the senate, had frequently taken ad vantage of the privilege, and declared that no one questioned their knowledge of the constitution and parliamentary law. Daniel (Dam.) of Virginia regarded those who called themselves the major ity on the pending question more re- , sponsible for the delays, which had
