It is how certain that the Farmers’ Alliance combined with the demo- crats have a majority on joint ballot of two or three. Unless enough of the alliance men go to the republicans to elect a straight republi- can—which would probably be Moody—then the democrats will go to the alliance rather than the alliance to the democrats; the alliance people outnumber the democrats two to one. The latter proposition, carried out, might mean the election as Senator of Representative Pickler. Mr. Pickler is un alliance man, believes in free coinage, holds anti-protection opinions, is en- thusiastically favorable to the subtreasury scheme, is & prohibitionist, works day and night in behalf of female suffrage, thinks the government ought to take control of all cor- porations and altogether thoroughly represents sum total of South Dakota's political eccen- tricities. A number of republicans whe would like to succeed Mr. Pickler as Representative are urging that gentleman to press his sena- torial claime on the legislature. THE FINANCIAL SITUATION, Treasury Officials Watching Carefully the Movements of the Market. Secretary Windom and his official family in the Treasury Department are keeping an acute observation upon the financial situation during these days of nervousness and anxicty, but there is really little that can be done beyond the purchase of 4!¢ per cent bonds, which will be continued for the pres- ent, As yet no definite proposition has been received to buy 4 per cents and give fractional silver in payment, which has been suggested in New York as # means of relief, but inasmuch the purchase of 4 per cents offers the ly new outlet for money to the market it likely that such an offer from the bankers would be regarded with favor. One effect of such purchases would be to in- crease the nomiual surplus, since the fractional silvercoin in the treasury, amounting to over $19,000,000, is not counted as part of the funds available for the reduction of the public debt. The surpltis just now is about $11,000,000. In pursuing the policy of freeing as mach money as possible the Secretary has already caused the poche of 4.50000 ounces of sil- ver during November, this being the quota for the entire month. This will, of course, neces- sitate a halt in the silver operations for a few days, but the purchases will be resumed De- cember 1, THE APPROPRIATION COMMITTEE. Members Hold a Preliminary Meeting at the Capitol. $ There was quite an assemblage of Congresa- men atthe Capitol today. A meeting of the House appropriations committee was called for today. Estimates for the District of Col- umbia, the pensions and the fortification bills were furnished by the Secretary of the Treasury. Mesera. McComas, Coggswell and Sayers were present and after waiting scme time for the ar- ival of other members of the committee Mr. McComas called the meeting to order. The clerk, Mr. Courts, luid before them the esti- mates in his possession and announced that he had dispatches from other members of the committee stating that they would be here not later than Monday next. The work of the com- mittee was then distributed among the old sub- committees and an adjournment was taken subject to the call of the chairman, HEAP SOLDIERS. And What They Will Do if There’s an Indian Outbreak. Gen, Miles is not given to soft speeches when in conversation with semi-hostile Indians, and testimony to this effect is produced by an urmy officer who has just returned from the seat of trouble in the Sioux nation. When the general visited the Cheyennes two weeks ago he had a lengthy conversation with a number of the more prominent chiefs and head men, The redskins wanted to find out the white man’s program and asked Miles what “Wash- ington” purposed doing if there should be an outbreak when the Messiah made his appear- ance. “The Great Father will send soldiers,” re- plied the general. “Heap soldiers?” was the apegn “Yes, heap soldiers,” said the general, “More soldiers than any of you ever saw, and when they come J'll whale hell out of you. THE LIEVUTE: ‘iT BLAMED By Those Whose Liquor License Appli- cations Have Been Rejected. Just at present Licut. Amiss’ lot is nota happy one, and bis unhappiness is caused by the “turned down” liquor dealers. Lieut. Amiss is in charge of the first precinct station, and that is the only precinct thus far in which the liquor men’s applications have been acted ‘upon and that is why he is the only lieutenant thus far who is being besieged by those whose applications the Commissioners acted unfavor- ably upon, They place the blame on the lieu- tenant, and want to know the whys and where- fores. The reasons for rejecting the applica- tious differ. Some applicants who have the requisite signers and who have complied with other conditions have been among those who have fallen under the Commissioners’ ax. The police think that if the same ratio of rejected applications holds good in the other precincts the number of licenses will come within the 400 rule, In some instances objection was made where the places were kept open all night and on Sundays, and where the cating and drinking bars were in the same room #o that on Sun- daysand after hours drinks might be served without any danger of prosecution.

Purtapevraia, Pa., Nov. 20.—A great flurry was caused in the stock exchange about noon today when it became known that the large aud well-known banking house of Barker Brothers & Co, had made an assignment. A8 soon as the announcement was made there ‘was @ general fall in stocks, Vico President Bachman of the exchange, when asked about the suspension, said: “All 1 know about it is that we received a note from the Barkers stating that they would be compeiled to make an assignment. I do not know any- thing about their assets or liabilities. In fact, Ido not even know the name of the assignee. Stocks fell, but it will not make much differ- ence in the stock market, as they have not been dealing in stocks to any extent. They have been interested in outside speculation, I sup- pose, and to this probably is due their assign- ment.” Inquiry at the office of Barker Brothers & Co. this afternoon failed to elicit any informa- tion farther than they had made an assignment, and that, perhaps, some statement would be made later in the day. The firm consists of Wharton Barker, Abram Barker and Joseph Wharton. Mr. Wharton Barker is president of the finance company. The firm also controls the Wharton Swi! Company and gained a world-wide reputation some time ago by its Chinese intertelegraph- ing banking scheme. They are also the Phila- delphia correspondents of the Barings, the great London bankers who were in difficulty recentiy, DULL A) STEADY. No Feature of Special Moment on the Stock Exchange. New Yorn, Nov. 20.—The stock market this morning, under the influence of the reas- suring advices from London, continued the strength of yesterday and first prices showed advances over the final figures of last evening of from 1; to 4 per cent generally, whilo Mis- souri Pacific was up 1{ and New England 134 percent, A few stocks made further slight gains in the early trading, but a natural re- action set in in a short time and before the end of the half hour Missouri Pacific, Burling- ton and sugar were down 1 per cent from the opening prices, while Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred, which had shown unusual strength, was 194 higher. The reaction halted at this point and the market became quite dull, w:ih no feature of material movement aud the market remained without change for the re- mainder of the hour. The market at 11 o'clock was dull and steady. but generally at email fractions below the opening figures. THE RUN CONTINUES. The run which was begun yesterday on the Citizens’ Savings Bank here was continued this morniug. As early as 9 oclock there wore at least from 15,000 to 16,000 excited Poles gath- ered in the vicinity. In facta number of the unfortunate people who have fears that they have lost alltheir hard earnings paraded up and down the neighborhood all nicht. Within the bank President Quinterd and the cashier sat watching the preparations for the day. The president said toa reporter, “We made about 21.000 in interest money yesterday lost by the frightened depositors. In ali we paid out over $113,000 and took in about 216.000. The run will probably continue today und tomorrow, but we expect al! the money back next week.” There are plenty of police present to keep the agitated depositors in order. Money at noon was easier at 6 per cent. The stock market continued very quiet after 11 o'clock, only Western Union, the Villards ond Atehison showing any real animation, but prices displayed a firm tone and slowly ad- vanced until in most cases the opening figures were again equaled. The dealings, however, developed no feature of interest, and at noon the market was quiet and firm, generally at about opening figures. A dispatch from Philadelphia says the fail- ure of Barker Bros. & Co. has just been an- nounced on the stock exchange. The an- nouncent of the failure on the stock ex- cbange here bad the effect of depressing the market. 2:15 p.w.—The stock market advanced slight fractions farther after 12 o'clock, but the im- provement was then checkea and considerabie pressure brought upon the list, with the result of driving prices down to the lowest level of the day, ‘The granzers, Louisville and Kead- ing were the principal sufferers from the raid and St, Panl dropped 154; Illinois Central, 14g; Burlington and Loaisville, each 13;, and Mis- souri Pacific, 1;, while Reading at 28% was 11¢ lower than its best figure. The weakest stock on the list, however, was Rock Isiaud. und with a marked increase ii activity it was forced off from 66% to 63%. There was no news of developments to canse selling of long stocks, and the pressure by the bears alone seemed responsible for the decline. The decline was checked toward 2 p.m., but the market failed to rally, and at 2:15 it was dull and steady, st ornearthe lowest of the day. ilver opened at 983{; highest sale, 100; low- est sale, 98%; last sale, 100.
