6 CONVENTION POSTPONED. Anti-Subtreasury Alliance to Meet After Feb. 23. \Vashixgtox, Dec. B.— W. S. McAl lister, chairman of the national execu tive committee of the Anti-Subtrcasury Alliance, who has been making a tour of the states wherehis party is strongest, found awaiting him here letters from his fellow comir.itteemen urging him to postpone the date for a national conven tion called to meet at Memphis, TVnn., Dec. IG. This call was issued from In dianapolis upon the refusal of the supreme council to receive the protest of tho Anti-Sub treasury party, and make the same apart of the record, it had pre viously been determined, in Ihe event of such action by the supreme council. to perfect a distant organization, with the object of restoring the Farmers" Alliance to its original state of fidelity to its constitution. The proposition to postpone the convention until a later date was acted upon by Chairman Mc- Allister, who tonight issued the follow ing: To members of the AnllSubtreasury Al lianee: In obedience to urgent requests from many member of tbe Anti-Snbtreasury Al liance, the national convention called to meet nt Memphis, Term., Dec. US, is hereby postponed to a duie which will be hereaiter named. \Y S. McAi.usTKK, Chairman, for the Committee. The reasons fortbis action were given by Mr. McAllister in an interview as be was taking the train to-night lor his home in Canton, Miss. "V\ hen our call was issued/ he said, "the supreme council had taken no action on the third party question. Subsequently it ap pointed twenty-five delegates to the third party conference set for Feb. 23 at St. Louis, Mo. Notwithstanding this action the National Alliance leaders are denying that it is their purpose to turn the Farmers' Alliance into a political party. The result of the St. Louis con ference will determine their real pur pose in the premises, and hence the propriety of postponing our national convention."

Testimony Secured With Dif ficulty and the Result Withheld. brts to Be Made to Revive the Busted Boycott on Alton. Other Roads Join the Erie in Its BP3ak Away—Pull - man Answers. Chairman Finley, of the Western Pas senger association, arrived in tlui city yesterday and took up his headquarters at the Kyan hotel. lie was met at the station by several railroad officials, and greeted cordially by them. Accompa nying Mr. Finley were F. W. Pringie. a Chicago lawyer and accountant for the association, and T. EL Seaman* assist tant secretary, and his wife. As a mat ter of convenience, Chairman Finley came to St. Paul to hear evidence in the case of the Omaha versus the Milwau kre,and the complaints of Chicago lines against the Kansas City, in making an under rate to the Minneapolis-Wash ington delegation, and otherwise vio lating the rules of the Western lassen- Ber association. These cases have come up befoie, but sufficient evidence could not bo had at the time of the hearing of each case to warrant an impartial trial, so both were post poned until yesterday. The chairman decided that St. Paul would he the most convenient place to hold the meeting, as most of the testimony of witnesses which was needed would be from the Twin Cities. Mention was made in this paper last week of the chartres in both these cases. Additional affidavit* and witnesses from both cities were pro duced at the hearings yesterday. It is understood that in the Kansas City case witnesses were procured with the great est difficulty. Only a few responded. as it is understood they did \u>t care to lie mixed up in sucii a matter. In the Omaha-Milwaukee case, in which the St. Paul & Duluth figures as the connecting line of the Milwaukee, bet ter fortune was had in obtaining the necessary evidence; in fact, this case has been practically ended. This is not so witli the Kansas City; there are two or three more affidavits to be sent to Mr. Finley befoie he can jrive any decision. Chairman Finley said lie was rot in a position to talk at length on cases of "this kind that come before him. as the decisions were not rendered yet and would not be for some time. He said that evidence had been collect ed in each case, and could only be made known to the public when they were decided by him. The Omaha-Milwau kee case was first called. J. S. McCol lough. J. 11. O'Brien. G. M. Smith, tieorge Getchel and W. T. Peterson, of the Omaha, testilied for the prosecution and \V. H. Dixon, George Marsh and Patrick Scanlon appeared for ihe Mil waukee. The Milwaukee claims that there is no such agreement in the West ern Passenger association bearine; on this particular case; that the limit on their Duluth tickets has always been as it now stands. If this is a test case it seems rather Strange that it has been brought up lately. The Milwaukee says it is a case of persecution. It is said one of the lines endeavored to impeach one of the witnesses' testimony, but on second thought withdrew the charge. Otherwise the trial was peacefully con ducted, and will be quietly settled at Chicago in a few ctays by a compromise. The Kansas City makes a general de nial of the charges against it. The depositions produced by it would lill a ship trunk, and it is understood that they are not all in yet. It will take some time to settle this case. THE BUSTED BOYCOTT. An Effort to Tie Made to Get It In Force Again. Chicago, Dec. B.— Speaking of the action of the Erie lines in resuming the sale and acceptance of Chicago & Alton tickets, a member of the board of rul ings said today that it was a flagrant violation of the agreement entered into by the Eastern roads last winter. Every company that subscribed to that agree ment pledged itself to give thirty days' notice before withdrawing from it. The Erie not only failed to give sucli notice, but broke a promise made by one of its representatives last week that no action should be taken until after next week's meeting, bo says Vice Chairman Don ald, of the Central Traffic association. It is reported this evening that the Baltimore ft Ohio and the Niagara Falls shnit lint 1 have fallen into line with the Erie, and will immediately lestore tariff relations with the Alton. Strange to say, the board of rulings does not ac knowledge itself defeated even yet. The other roads will be asked to defer action until a conference can be held with the higher officials of the Erie, in the hope that the boycott may be patched up and again put iv running order. Every effort is being made to turn the tide. General Passenger Agent Eustis, of the Burlington, has been tailed upon to furnish the board of iniintr" with a detailed statement of how, whore and by whom the agreement niHUe by the board with his road was broken. It is now practically settled that the Eastern agents will receive commissions from all the Western roads lor the month of December and thereafter. PUL.LMAX ANSWERS. Charges of Fraud Denied Point Blank. Chicago. Dec. B.— The Pullman Pal ace Car company today tiled an answer to the bill of the Chicago, Milwaukee it St. Paul Railroad company chareing the Pullman company with fraud in connection with the oner?tion of the forty-live palace, sleeping and dining cars furnished by the defendant. The answer denies the charge in toto. The history of the agreements between the two companies is reviewed at length. The Pullman company, it is declared, has already accounted tor the joint busi ness, and tl'.e pretenses to the contrary, the answer avers, were ••fictitious and unfounded and invented solely to post pone the purchase of and the payment lor the cars according to contract." THE ERIE'S MOVE. It Cannot Be Compelled to Keep the Agreement. Ni.w York, Dec. S. — The Erie rail road today served formal notice on the Trunk Line association that they had withdrawn from their agreement mule last spring and will, qji the 10th inst., resame their former relation with the Chicago ft Alton railroad, selling tici:et& and checking baggage over that road. The joint committee of the Trunk Line association and the Central Traffic asso ciation wiil meet next Monday to pass upon the matter. Commissioner J. F. Goddard, of the Trunk Line association, said today that the proper course for the Erie road to have pursued would have been to bare brought the matter to the attention oi the passenger committee before issuing notice of withdrawal. When asked whether the agreement would now be abandoned. Commissioner Goddard said: "1 presume so, but whether the roads will all go back to their old rela tions with the Alton is another matter. ■' "This is cousidered by tome to be a THE PAINT PAUL TALLY GLOBE: WEDNESDAY MORNING, ODE< step towards the old custom of paying commissions?" " "1 can't say why the "Erie has seen fit to take this course. 1 suppose they find the agreement with the committee did not work to their advantage. Ido not think the other lines in this association will think the same way." "Could the Erie be compelled to ad here to its agreement of last spring?" •vas asked. "No," was the reply. "There are no shotguns behind our agreements. They are all made voluntarily. The only thine out of the way is the manner in which- they withdrew and have gone back to the Alton." Lifting a Blockade. Chicago, Dec. 8. — The Michigan Central has given notice to its .Western connections that it is ready to : receive freight again for local points in Michi gan, and hopes to be able to say in- a few days that the freight blockade on through freight has been raised. Rumbles. George S. Marsh, assistant passencer and ticket agent of the Milwaukee, is in ib c : city. P. B. Groat, general emigration- ngeut of the Northern Pacific, went to Chicago last evening. W. \V. Finley left last evening via Omaha for Chicago. P. P. Shelby, traffic manager of the Great V. Shelby, traTic manager of the Crept Northern, lias returned from a pleasure trip to the Pacific const. He was present at the formal opeuin£ of the ureat Northern's new line, the Seattle & llnuttua road. The new line runs from Seattle to Westminster, a distance of 140 miles. The celebration was in the form of an excursion of all the promi nent people of that section, some 3'JO in all. The opening of this line is considered as a great deal of importance to the people ot Seattle, as It is a new eastern outlet which, in time, will be very beneficial to them. Mr. Shelby said he was highly pleased with the creat improvements that had been made in Seattle since the old town was burned. He thought that it was destined to be the t-econd city on the Pacific slope. »on the I'acilie slope. KANSAS MORTGAGES. Eastern Holders Get the Little End of a Deal. PEntl of Dec. B.— A meeting lAIXBTOX, N. V., Dec. B.— A meeting of the holders of mortgages of the Ne braska & Kansas Farm Loan company residing in this vicinity has been held to consider what action is proper to take to ascertain the true nature and valid ity of such mortgages and the present status of such loans. The company had its offices in Red Cloud, Neb., and Al bany, N. V., and obtained money from parlies in this section and sent it West tor investment in farm mortgages, which it took from the settlers at ten per cent per annum and assigned them to their patron, the latter to receive seven per cent. About 5400,000 was thus placed in the hands of this company for such investment. Some doubts having arisen of late as to the validity and present tenure of these liens, this meeting was called to take action thereon. About fifty of the mort gage holders were either present in pei son or by counsel or proxy, representing £150,000 of these loans. Letters from county treasurers and other officials and also " from owners of the mortgaged lands in Nebraska and Kansas were read, setting forth tnat no taxes or interest had been paid by the mortgagors in many instances from the date of the mortgages ; that also in many ether instances the property thus mort gaged had been sold for taxes and pur chased by J. A. Tulleys, of Keel Cloud, vice president and treasurer of the com pany. Some of these tax sales date as far back as 18S8, and in no instance had the mortgage holder been notified of such sale. This fact was first ascer tained recently by writing to the differ ent county treasurers. to the cliffer t county treasurers. It was admitted at the meeting by the company's representatives that llenrv Clark, of Albany. N. V.. formerly presi dent of the company: Mr. Tulleys and A. L. Wiley are no longer interested in the company, but have sold their stock, and that the company has no money and no office. A representative of the mortgage holders will be sent West to investigate and report what further action is necessary. By the terms of the assignment to the mortgage holders the company guaranteed tlie payment of these mortgages, principal and interest. It was also admitted that 10 per- cent of the mortgagors had surrendered their lauds. «a» Winter Excursions.

Chicago University Will Lose But Little of the Bequest. Chicago, Dec. --The Chicasro uni versity is likely to lose little if any of the Ogden bequest. President Harper, who lias just returned from New York, said today: "I find that it isjiot only true that the larger part ot the property in the case does not come within the scope of the decision, but that the heirs of the estates involved manifest warm sympathy in the Chicago university's progress. If we lose anything of tin; bequest it will be trivial." The Ogden estates are in Illinois, Wisconsin, New Jersey and New York, and aggregate vast sums. His will was contested in a way similar to that of Samuel J. lden. Found Then Innocent. Special to the Globe. Cam/ton, Minn., Dec.

Little Disposition to Sell Ap parent and Shorts Very Nervous. Everything on the List More or Less Up in Price on the Day. Bull Market on Wall Street in Everything but Gould Shares. Chicago, Dee. 3.— The bears in wheat, were in trouble today. The news was decidedly against them, and they were compelled to re tire before the onslaughts of the bulls. The enthusiasm engendered late in the session yesterday by the heavy decreases shown la the visible supply report was carried over to this morning and reinforced by additional bullish figures. The amount of wheat on ocean passage de ereawd during the week by 3,540,000 bu: the worl .'. s shipments decreased by bu dtirir.g the Eume time: the receipts In the Northwest were very light; cable* were strong. Liverpool beiug quoted ljd higher mid Paris 20 centimes up, with domes- tic markets stronger; a bullish govern ment winter wheat crop review was expected Thursday, and the export clear ances were large, aggregating l,:«il,00) bu from the six ports. New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston, New Orleans and Montreal. About the only crumb of comfort the bears had was a dispatch from New York, baying that a London bouse had resold there at a reduction of la per quarter a cargo of wheat boueht for export. There was but, little dis position to sell, while shorts were nervous and apprehensive and disposed to cover. Cudahy was understood to be a large buyer to cover shorts, and, while Pardridge sold some early, he was generally thought to have taken it back latet at some loss. He talks bearish still, however, and denies covering except where he wets a pood scalp. Mitchell. Logan, Baxter, Harry Lester, Mor ton Worthinsiton and Kenuett-iloDkins were all good buyers. Rolison and other provis ion men bought a good deal of wheat, which was understood to be for Cudahv. May opened nt 9J^©9OV2C against KUhe at the close yesterday, but rather heavy longs, who had rather good profits in the stuff, pro ceeded to realize, their sales breaking the market to We. When this pressure was re moved, however, the market rebounded to Uo%e. fluctuated frequently within a narrow range, weakened in the last hour under ham mering by the beers and free realizing sales and touched i).»c again. This was fol lowed by another rally to 99<,2C. then weakened again. and closed at '.KHfec. The cables were all higher with the single exception of Antwerp. Trie enrly London showed a decline of the shil ling on the cargo, but this was generally evi dently an error, as the late advices noted 3d advance from yesterday. Corn was fairly active, strong and higher. The Receipts were B.*>S cars, but included only 25 cars ot contracts. Shorts were uneasy, principally from the poor inspection, and partly from the strong tone in wheat, and covered freely. A further decrease in the already small stocks iv store here was also a strengthening factor. The trading in De cember was very light, and was tempered by a realization of the fact that there might be a very light squeeze in it before the mouth is ended. In fact, this condition of affairs is likely to extend into the more remote future unless the inspection improves materially. The shorts are beginning te realize this fast, and are inclined to cover their deals In all futures. The result of it all is a strong market. December opened at 4775 c, touched 47*ic, held steady for p. time, then bulged to 4f-Sge, weakened to 4SUcv advanced to 48% c, aw closed Vie lower. May. fluctuated be tween 43Vic to 4378 C, closing at 43«Uc, against 43% cat the close yesterday. Oats were dull but firm, and closed with a substantial advance over yesterday's last figures. - '.....V,',, --*he provision trade appeared to be badly mixed most of the day. The market started with a sort of bound because the hogs at the van!.- were half the estimate at 25,000. and prices 10 cents higher. The offerings, were quiet, and free at the advanced prices but went back to the closing figures of Monday. Later dispatches from - the yards reported heavy hogs 15c up at $4.15. This was 25c higher in two days, and cut tb.9 profit of packers materially. On this showing the price of pork went again to the best price of morning. Packers bought back pork and ribs sold early. Toward the close the pit be cams 'lull and prices held steady at little change from last night. The leading futures ranged as follows: Open-, High- Low- Clos- Articles. ing. I est. est, ing.

B.— The market today acted more lise a general bull market than it has for some time, but there was one weak spot and that was the Gould shares, espe cially Western Union. Tnat the Vanderbilts are ranged on the side of higher figures the course of that stock sceins to leave little room fordoubt. London did not do much today, but there was no selling orders of im portance from ihnt center as far as could be seen, but the West was ngaiu a buyer to some extent of it? favorites, though, with the ex ception of Chicago gas. none of them was prominent in the dealii gs. and the rest of the general list rose only small fractions. The industrials were again remarkable for strength, and Sugar advanced on the report of an i!icrense in the dividend; it receded a^ain ou the declaration of the usunl amounts. Distillers, however, were very active and decidedly strong, scoring the largest gain for the day. The ooening was quiet and firm, and while the market dis played a disposition to advance it was met in the early trading by a continuation of the pressure upon Mrssouri Pacific mid Northern hanific preferred, which in the former oc casioned a loss of 1 per cent. The decline made no further progress, however, and while Western Union became the weak stock. the rest of the list broke away from it. and pticos steadily mounted, though only in the few stocks mentioned was the improvement of any particular Importance. Even Western Uuiou closed with only a fractional lass. Canada Southern was me special feature, its nctivity being something unusual for that stock, and its advance was steady and rapid, while Michigan Central, on smaller transactions, kept pace with it in strensth. The rest of the list failed to de velop any special feature of note, and the strength remaiued unimpaired till the close. which was active and strong at the highest prices of the day. The important gains in clude Canada Southern, Michigan Central. and Distillers', each 1%, and Lackawanual per cent. The Post says: Today's curious market is explained by a consideration of the position in which the bear operators have recently placed themselves. They have put out large amounts of shorts' stock in a few quarters, without making the ieast impression on the general market. There cr.u be but one out come of such a situation. The raiding of the Gould stocks today, especially the spas modic attack upon Western Union, did not luck evidences of desperation. The efforts to spread broadcast gloomy sentiments ou these and other properties were naturally all the more strenuous, in view of the unex pected buoyancy developed in other quarters of the market. This occasioned the apparently perplexing movement In prices. One or two special groups of btocks at times declined steadily, while others were advanc ing with even greater rapidity. The vet re suit of the day's movement was a rational tribute to the underlying soundness of the market.

Insane Through Spiritualism. Moxuoe, Wis., Dec. B.— Miss Carrie Mack, of this city, has become violently insane. The cause of her insanity is the spiritualistic revelations, which have been the craze here for some time. She has been very much taken with the craze ana her confidence was so great that she made a trip to Darlington last week, because she had been told some property was to come to her possession there. The disappointment.it is thought, was the the cause of her unfortunate condition. Miss Mack is an elocutionist of no little ability, and her condition, la a shock to her many friends.
