Hudson of Topeka, Kan., are at Willard’s.——W. P. Jones of E. Hutchinson of Allentown, N. J., Mrs. J. D. Houston of Mobi of Wichita are at the RECIPKOCITY WITH PERU. A Rather Distinguished Trio in Consultation on the Subject. Among the guests at the Arlington today are Messrs. Michael P. Grace of New York and Ed- ward Eyre of Peru. In the same hotel is Senor Solar, the new Peruvian minister. It is understood that the meeting of these three persons in the city at his time is not ‘an accident, but is significant. Mr. Grace is a member of the New York firm which is supposed to have large interests in the resent Chilian difficulties, and is also a mem- of the syndicate of European capitalists re- cently organized for the assumption of the Peruvian national debt. In return for this act the syndicate has been given control of the commercial interests in Peru. Mr. Eyre is the representative of the Graces in Peru and is also the president of the Peruvian chamber of commerce. ‘The report is that the trio intends to make preliminary arrangements for a negotiation which will lead to the establishment of a reci- rocity arrangement between Peru and the United States under the tariff act. A consulta: tion is being held today at the house of th Peruvian minister, who will present his letters of recall in few days and make room for his successor. ee THE FARMERS’ ALLIANCE, Ex-Representative Wade Says the Movement is Retrograding in Missouri. “The Farmers’ Alliance movement in Mis- souri is retrograding,” said ex-Reprosoatative Wade of Springfield, Mo., to @ Star reporter today. For six years “Farmer” Wade (for that was the cognomen tied to him by affec- tionate friends) cared for the interests of the thirteenth Missouri district in Congress, but in the last grand populer political up- heaval the cheerful agriculturist was deposed by a democrat who will acknowledge the re- ceipt of $5,000 per annum for at least two anuums over the autograph of Robert W. Fyan. ~As I remarked before,” Mr. Wade continued, “the Farmers’ Alliance, after climbing the hill and indulging in a good deal of vociferous self praise, is now sliding down the declivity with accelerating ‘There never was even promise of solidity in the plans of the alliance, and talk that institution indulges in about carrying Nebraska and Kansas and a few other of the sovereign states in the next presidential election is like unto the conversation of the truly foolish. So far as Missouri is concerned there is no hope for a third party. The alliance in our state is adem- ocratic affair and that is why the state is not represented at the convention which will to- morrow be in session in Cincinnati. “Yes, I'm willing to admit that just now the alliance is attracting some attention and a great many people seem to favor it. ‘The situation is about the same as to the free coinage of silver. You ask the average man if he is in favor of the free coinage of sil- ver end he will say ‘Yes.’ Ask him why he favors free coinage and if he is sensible he will say ‘D—d if I know.” “Will we ave free coinage soon? | I hope not. The experiment would be dangerous one. There may be evil in it; there cau be no ood,” and the gentleman who represented the |d-Knobbers in three successive Congresses walked away rattiing at least two £20 gold ieces in the right-hand pocket of his trous— No! pants.

Remey Says That He Will Take the Itata. SECRETARY BLAINE BETTER. THE NEW PARTY MOVEMENT, Representatives of the Dissatisfied Ele- ments Gather in Cincinnati. ‘Special Staff Dispatch to The Evening Star. Crxcrsxatt, May 18.—A picturesque assem- blage of political reformers fill the corridors of some of the hotels here today, and men of rustic appearance with badges on their coats which announce that they are delegates to the political alliance convention to be opened to- morrow mingle with strangers on the principal thoroughfares. : 4 CONFERENCE OF THE DISSATISFIED. The convention begins at 10 o'clock tomor- row. It cannot be described as a Farmers’ Al- liance convention, for it is not called by the alliance nor is it upon the call of any party or organization. It is an open-for-all conference of the representatives of the discontented elements ‘of all classes from all sec- tions. It is the gathering together of the atoms which are expected to crystalize and form the basis of a great third party, but the Farmers’ Alliance seems to be the strongest element, and the St. Louis platform is substan- tially @ declaration of the faith of all. AT THE HEADQUARTERS. ‘The principal headquarters is at the Palace Hotel and the scene there this morning asthe delegates arrived had all the bustle and con- fusion of a great political congregation. Bat the representation there was something different from anything the foliowers of the great parties have seen. The ward workers, the political sharp, the dignified statesman and the wire puller of the ordinary political convention were all absent. Most of ‘the men present looked as if they had just let 60 the handle of the cultivator. ‘The estimate of the number of tes varies from a thousand to 3,000. When the convention meets tomorrow it will probably be found that about 800 delegates are present. PLANS OF THE ALLIANCE. The leaders of the Farmers’ Alliance are not the promoters of this movement, but they will try to get control of it, and will probably euc- eced. Mr. Polk, the president of the alliance, is not here and is not expected. His object in staying away is understood to be to from giving the conference too much the ap- Pesrance of an official alliance convention. Representative Jerry Simpson, McCune, Kalph Beaumont, Lee Crandall und others associated with the alliance national headquarters at Washington are on hand. Mr. Simpson was the center of attraction at the Palace Hotel during the day. Calamity Weller and Gen. Weaver are prominent figures. Powderly and Peffer are expected tonight. There seems to be no well-detined plan for the conference and there is nothing organized or official in its character. Some of the delegates are regularly electea and others—a majority probably— come without any credentials. Every man, however, has an idea to express, and some are loaded with shes of length which they are repared to deliver with earnestness and evi- ty no lack of vociferation. UNANIMOUS ON A NEW PARTE. The one object all have in view is the organi- zation of a third national party, but there isa difference of opinion as to the suitable time and place for forming the organization and issuing the proclamation. Over this question # very lively fight is expected. A large number of the delegates want to get at it at once, adopt a plat- form, appoint a national committee and set a time for a convention to nominate candidates for President and Vice President. Others want to act with more expedition than this even. They insist that the candidates should be nom- inated here and now. WHAT THE CONSERVATIVES WANT. What the conservative element, of which Representative Jerry Simpson may be regarded as leader, expect is that they will be able to compromise on a declaration of principles and the appointment of a “provisional” national committee, leaving the formal launching of a third party until next winter at most. ‘The conservatives think that they are going to be able to control, but every one e: a lively fight. There are Bellamy men, Henr: George men, Knights of Labor, Citizens’ Alli ance, Farmers’ Alliance and men representing almost every idea of reforming the present po- litical and social status of man. Nearly ev sort of opinion antagonistic to “present eondi- tions” is represented and the work which the leaders are now engaged in is that of trying to crystallize these opinions into some sort of form against the meeting of the conference. State delegations are holding meetings today to decide on their line of ection, Probably eacl tion ve some rT wich they will Iadst on putting in any’ plat. form or declaration of principles that is pro- mal ‘There are delegates from “away up ecst in Maine,” from Rhode Island, Delaware and Con- peoticnt, from Teanay Albumen ed Georgia, from Iowa, South Dakota and Kansas, field at the next bampaign ularly abous starting the Tor ton oF twelve faonths Sot few men who will take part in the whoare not enthusiasts and the belief is veryge erally e: among them that they wipe out the old parties.

It says e formal interview took place yesterday between Capt. Remey of the Charleston and the captain of the Esmeralda. The latter stated that the Charleston should never take the Itata until the Esmeralda was sunk. Remey replied: “I have orders to take the Itata. The fact that the Esmeralda is present will make no differ- ence whatever. In Acapulco # fight is expected if the Itate rs. “PRtw Your, May 18.—The Herald's Acapulco dispateb, daicd yesterday, says the coaling of the Charleston has been pushed vigorously and that the vessel was to sail last night with» sufficient coal supply to bust ton days at a big! speed, and continue the chase of the ltata. No ‘one but Capt. knows what course the Charleston will steer after she gets outside, bat it is not improbable that be will continue straight on for Chili, stopping for coal at Pan- ama, in order to jon the other ships of our navy at Iquique. As the Iteta must turn up there eventually, perhaps that will be the surest way tocatch her. The Esmeralda still is near the harbor entrance, but has not yet coaled up. Her capiain is apparently as ignorant of Atata’s whereabouts as Capt, Remey is. A special from Washington says the hint was accidentally dropped by « high naval official on Friday that the efforts to capture the [tata bave embittered the ineurgents toward us a that American interests at iquique, the insurgents’ headquarters, are consequeutly in danger. This accounts for the hasty mobilization of em American fieet in thai harbor. New York, May 18.—A special from Aca pulco, Mex., says: The United States cruiser Charleston ‘left Acapulco last night about 9 o'clock after filling her bunkers with eoal enough for a ten days’ run. She steered e general southerly course, but no one here knows what her plans are. The commander of the Esmeralda is t to establish « tele- graphic credit at New York or Paris. If suo- cessful he can probably obtain coal bere with drafts thus drawn. The opinion is general that the Esmeralda communicated with the [tate outside the harbor Friday night and obtained provisions, alter which the Itata continued soul ee Kansas Senators Friendly to the President.

THE NEW OKLEANS TRAGEDY. Consul Corte and the Bey Grimalde Are in This City. THEY ARE SEEN BY 4 STAR REPORTER AND TALE FREELY OF THE APFAIR—TE CONSUL THINKS BE WAS BEEN UNFAIRLY TREATED AND MB LANGUAGE MISKEPRESEN rED. A foreigndooking, rather youngish, well- dressed man and a boy of fourteen, a hand- some black-eyed Corsican, arrived last evening in this city and went at once to the Metropoli- tan Hotel, where they took rooms. These two | are perhaps of all men the most familiar with the Italian side of the New Orleans troubles, | beginning back before the time of the Hen- nessy murder and culminating in the tragedy at the Parish Prison. The elder of the two is Signor Corte, the con- sul at New Orleans. The younger is Gaspari Grimaldo, though he is better known as Asper Marchese: Grimaldo is the boy, who, it was charged,gave the whistle,as asigual that Hennes- sy was approaching on the night when the chief was chot to death in the streets of New Orleans, Grmaldo was confined im the prison at the time the mob broke in and took vengeance for the death of Chief Hennessy, and 1s the one who, it will be remembered, saved his life by hiding under a boa in a cell across the covidor from the one in wich bis father, the elder Marchese, was crouching wheu his body was riddled with bullets. ‘Consul Corte and the boy are on their way to Rome to give Marquis HMudiui a personal ac- count of all that transpired in New Orleans. They intend leaving for New York this after- noon and will sil for Europe either on the Majestic or the City of Berlin. co! ‘L CORTES STORY. A Sram reporter called on Mr. Corte this afternoon and found him at home and willing to talk upon the subject of what he had done and what he intended to do. The consul English only indifierently and at times found great difficulty in expressing himself. At such times he would let large pieces of Italian drop into his sentences. The mterview was conducted in French and badiy broken Englixh. Mr. Corte spoke freely and decidedly and began by protest vigorously | agninst the treatment be had received et the hands of the newspapers. “I pray you,” said he, “make it to state in your paper that all that has been said about me | is false absolutely. ‘Ihe very fact that the mar- quis has summoned me to Kome to confer with me on the situation is a proof of the confidence imposed in me by my government. They de- sire me to talk over matters more freely and moro in detail than cun be done the medium of letters. SHOULD BE No BREACH WITH ITALY. “There is one thing 1 want to my right here to you for your paper and that is that I do not see auy reason why the troubles in New Or- jeans should make any breach between two such friendly nations as Italy and the United States and nothing that I shall say will be of « nature either to create or widen such # breach, In the first place 1 do not have any fault to find with the population of New Oricans. They are a fine set of people, andas a rule they are ° to all that has been done. The trouble is that there isa large class of know-nothing people there who are hostile to the foreigners and the difficulties were all brought about by them. Lalso hold Mayor Shakespeare respon- sible for much that has taken 4 When reference was made to the letter from the mayor to the governor of Louisiana asking that Mr. Corte’s recall be demanded the latter became very much excited and said that he had been unfairly treated on all sides. “But then,” he continued, “hundreds of law-abiding citizens have’ called upon me at the consulate to express their val mitted upon those poor Italians. Since then I have been misquoted and much that I have said has been omitted or distorted into mean- ing what I never said. One trouble, you know, is that Ican take no official nition of tua’ extra-judicial body, that committee of fifty. lonly know the governor, the mayor and the Judiciary. A SHOCKING OUTRAGE, “Oh, but that was ® shocking outrage that was inflicted upon those helpless imprisoned men in parish prison! Outrage, yes, for while there may have been criminals among their men that were killed that day “Da it ne te ye & a frie i 3 3 Ent Fy i if Hil pA il iil ft i Uy is i ! i Fi o8
