Convening of the Conference of Third Party Leaders at St. Louis. 8r. Lovrs, Mo., Feb. 22.—The year that marks the quadro-centonnial of the intrepid Italian Voyager upon the shores of an unknown land and the day upon which all loyal Americans pay homage to that father of his country who was firet in war, first in peace and is today first in the hearts of his countrymen has been signal ized by the greatest gathering of representa- tives of disaffected political elements that the world has ever seen. The bewigged patriots who met in the Carpenters’ liall of the Quaker city to bring into existence a new der of things were nominal in comparison. The chartists that, more than a century later, gathered from the four quarters of the father- land to protest against the continuance of mon- archial abuses, and their successors, under whose auspices the gates of Hyde Park were leveled to the ground, were but a forecast of latter-day radicalism 2nd new world advance im the svcial ethics of civilization. In the throng that Yaced the platform in the exposition hali this morning there wero men and women who have made their impress upon the social pro- gress of the age. Frarces Willard was there as the representa- tive of the opposition to the rum power and the saioon. The veteran A. 7. Streeter sat as the champion of the anti-monopolists and Repre- sentative Teubeneck of Llinois and Kol Schilling of Wisconsin in behalf of the people’ party. Grand Master Workman Powderly, with Secretary Hayes and Congressman Davis, oocu- pied front seats as the delegates from the Knights of Labor. W. A. Carsey of the New York City Anti-Monopoly League, sat side by side with Judge Snyder of Kansas. In other of the front seats were Post of Georgia, Washburn of Massachusetts, Repre- sentative Taubeneck of Illinois, Gen. John B. Weaver of Iowa, L. L. Poik of North Carolina, Congreseman Livingston and C. A. Rankin and Ignatius Donnelly, the sage of Minnesota. Back of these were the rank und file of the v: rious delegations, the credentials of which rep- resented neurly every state and territory of the United States. TUE PLATFORM. Whether or not the discordantelements could effect a coalition upon grounds that would be satisfactory to all concerned was the question that engrossed the consideration of tbe leading spirits of all the movements yesterday atter- noon and last night. As an outcome the draft of a platform was prepared which deais only with the questions of land, finances and trans- portation and leaves all other questions se- verely alone. ‘This program is not agreeable to certain elements of the delegations, and as a result the entire platform will be fought out on the floor of the convention. CALLED TO ORDER. The gathering was called to order at 2 p.m. by Ben. Terrell of Texas. An address of wel- come was delivered by C. P. Waldridge of St. Louis and rosponses made by L. L. Polk on behalf of the Farmers’ Alhance and Industrial Union, T. V. Powderly in the name of the Knights of Labor and Ignatius Donnelly. The appointment of committees occupicd the most of the day. The convention will not get down to the real business before it until tomorrow afternoon. ME. POWDERLY'S VIEWS. Prior to the convention some of the leaders of the different elements that make up the gathering expressed themselves. T. V. Pow- derly said: “The representatives of the Knights of Labor are hers in obedience to # resolution of the general assembly of the order directing that we attend the conference and assist in Preparing political platform upon which we can all stan! je are here, therefore, in a representative capacity, and while there is nothing obligatory upon the members of the Knights of Labor to indorse our ac- tion, it is but legitimate to suppose they will. We will certainly formulate a platiorm includ- ing all national points of vital interest on which we can harmonize, and then, asa natural se- on. James B. Weaver.” What will be the effect of the new organiza- tion on the old parties” “It is easy to see to look at one alone. If we ean get the temperance to bands with us at will be the worst blow the republican party bas ever received. Ihave only one more word to say: We have come to- gether to accomplish something and we mean to accomplish it emeemegifinemese THE CLEVELAND MOVEMENT. Arrival of the Ex-President at Destroit—Die- cussing Plans Dernort, Micu., Feb. 22—Mr. Cleveland ar rived at Detroit yesterday, accompanied by Messrs. Bissell of Buffalo, Gilder of the Gen- tury and ex-Postmaster General Don M. Dick- inson of Detroit. A large crowd were waiting at the depot, but they had but a glimpse of Mr. Cleveland. The party went at once to Mr. Dickinson's house, where a conference with local leaders which is expected to Michigan, which is now badly wavering Hull, back into the Cleveland ranks. Senator Viles of Wisconsin, ex-Gov. Campbell of Obie and Daniel Lamont will soon join the party, ich will breakfast in Ann Arbor preparatory fo the meeting tonight. They then return te etroit Tuesday, where elaborate have been made for Mr. Cleveland's teeption. Cicaoo, Feb. 22--Sonator John M. Palmer is sil true to Grover Cleveland despite the temptation of a presidential nomination freely offered by the democracy of Ilimnoia. In to @ letter from Wm. Florence, a resident Irving Park, Ill., under date of February 1, Writes: “I aim interested in your remarks re- garding the national ticket and certainly . ‘with You in” one particular, that ‘Cleveland would arouse the enthusiasm of the masses of the people. The contingency of my noraina- tion for President is so remote that it is hardly worth considering atall. I would not under Any circumstances accept the vice .

WATCHING Police at Xeres Kaid Their Homes and Cap- ture a Lot of Kifles, Mapnip, Feb. 22—A dispatch from Keres states that the authorities have been keeping close watch upon the anarchists at that place, fearing that they might perhaps attempt to carry out their threats to avenge the death of the four anarchists who were garroted there recently for leading the mob which some time ago attacked the town with the object of pil- laging it. Thef vigilance was rewarded by the discovery that some of the leaders of the anarchists were securing arms and ammuni- tion for the purpose, it is believed, of arming their followers and ‘again attacking the city. Today the police made a raid upon 's house fa San Fernando much frequented by the anarch- ists and succeeded in capturing fifty-four riftes and 1,000 cartridges. ke as not stated whether any arrests were made, but it is thought here that the anarchists had received warning of the intended raid and managed to elude the police. —_—. BURNING FORK TWELVE YEARS, Coal Veins Under the State of Wyoming oa Fire. Carresxe, Wro., Feb. 22.—One-third the area of this state is underlaid with coal. In several districts deposits have been on fire for years.

Becrast, Feb. 22.—A decided sensation was created yesterday at Port Rush, five miles from Coleraine, by the action of parish priest, Father McDonogh, who warmly espoused the cause of Mrs. Ann Margaret Montague, accused of feloniously slaying ber little daughter by causing its desth from suffocation. Mrs. Montague, it will be remembered. fastened the arms of her child, who was confined in « dark room by the governess, behind ber back and then tied her to a ring in the wall. Sowe three hours later the little girl was found suffocated, it being inferred that a stocking, used in bind- ing the child, slipped around neck and that it caused death b; Mre. Montague te now out on bail, pending ber trial upon the charge mentioned. ‘ather McDonogh in the parish church at Port Kush, after mass yesterday, declared that the coroner's jury which beard the evidence furnished against Mrs. Montague and which found her guilty of causing her child's death was composed entirely of Protestants and that they wore persecuting the lady referred to om account of her religion. Mire Moutague, Father McDonogh added, attended mass regu- Jarly and, be said, the healthy, happ; ance of her” childros was gencrally noted and quence, ali the industrial organizations partici- Pating in the conference will support in the coming election that political party which comes the nearest to adopting our platform. While I do not hope for either of the old parties to adopt our platform, I am for giving them all the show in the world’ for them to be with us. ‘There is little doubt that we can harmonize on the three great questions of the hour, viz, land, transportation and money, but still if trouble shouid come up I believe that amajority of the delegates are uctuated by a spirit of conces- sion and conciliation. For instance, while the Enights of Labor demand that the government shall own the railroads they are willing if this does not meet the views of the convention to accept a clause calling for government control of the toads, for’ this would st. lesst most fi ly commented uj According to Father McDonogh she was pe culiar in her manners and a belicver in strict discipline, but there was no reason to believe that sbe so ill-treated her child as to cause ite death. Continuing, the priest remarked that Mrs. Montague was Indy who did not know what fear was, as she had frequently shown her daring conduct in the hanting Finally, Father MeDonogh expressed the opin- thai the Montagues were the victims of = conspiracy, the object of which was to perse- cute them on account of their ‘The utterances of Father Me! are be- ing much commented upon and will be called to the attention of his bishop. —— Courtesics to Washington Correspondents, The reports from Albany that the demo- cratic state convention of Now York will not instruct for Mr. Hill is not regarded in political circles as very important. Itis very well un- derstood that the convention will do about as Mr. Hill desires they should, and if they do not instruct for him, but are satisfied to merely recommend him to the convention as a candidate, it will be because the shrewd Senator believes that it will be to his interest to have the thing done in that way in order to avoid the criticism of being forced on the convention by the Tammany machine. It is suggested also that the anti-Hill men, who are protesting against this mid-winter convention and propose to cali another later in the spring, will be embarrassed in this movement if the present convention fails to instruct the delega- tion to Chicago. ‘The Hill men are said to be greatly disap- pointed in not having the support from Gor- man and Brice that they expected. It is re- ported that both of these gentlemen have de- clared their inability to turn over the dele- gations from their respective states to Mr. Hill at the national convention. It is expected that both Maryland and Ohio will send Cleveland delegations. ‘A great many well-informed southern met ators say, however, that thesouth- bers and ern delegations will be largely com of Hil mens ‘There is a Bera agit in View ginia between the Cleveland and Hilf folks, the state having been heretofore pretty safe for Cleveland. ‘The following program was played on the bells of Metropolitan Church, 434 and C streets northwest, from 11:80 to 12:80 by James R.

As toa third political party, I think it is not only a necessity, but that it al- ready exists in people's party recently inaugurated at Cincinuati. By this, if by no other party, I believe that we can confidently hope to see our demands incorporated in their platform. President Polk said thet they expected to get through in two or three days. ‘The sub’ scheme and the Ocala platform would be in- dorsed.
