A Butler, of South Carolina, arrived here to-day from Edgefield, S. C., having com- A Pr pletely used up two sub-treasury cham pions in opon joint debate at Prosperity. In relating his experience at the latter place Senator Butler said he went there determined :o give the people a plain talk SA on the financial question. He did not em ploy any confusing statistics, but simply terdi told his hearers how foolish it was for Allia them to be l-d away with the idea that the Governraent is going to lend money appr to every m; n or woman who wants it Of th without sect rity. meni There wece a number of interrupters thin, scattered through the crowd, but the Sen- diffe ator's long experience in the Senate as a running debater er-abled him to dispose To n of his suppo-d tormentors without much spaci trouble. Or. every hand to-day he was inter congratulated upon his success in the joint debate, and also because he was not. injured in the row which followed the whic meeting. He says the reports of the row Cou were greatly exaggerated, as it had noth- the z ing whatever to do with the political mee l ing. It appears two men in the crowd un?.,ook to get even with a police officer Pr who had on a previous occasion arrested Farr them. The officer, who was a young and giant, knocked his 'en out one after the other in a truly S-.llivan-like manner. Several pistol shots were fired and there tion was some cutting dorie, but the partici- 1. tants were in no way connected with the agri( meeting. econ Senator Butler will go to New York to non join the members of the Senate commit- 2. tee on naval affairs, who were authorized essei at the last session of Congress to sit dur- char ing the recess for the-purpose of consider- 3. ing the question of the reorganization of mor the navy.

We don't see any signs of the nmil lennium in this movement. Dr. Pope in his letter to the Cotton PL:.xt last week says in substance that the applause of Biutler's speech came from "forty or fifty of these opposed to the sub-treasury bill"' or plan. We do r.ot know whether those who cheered were oppocsed to the sub-treas E ury plan or not, but, however this may be, our observation was that of those who cheered.the ma jority were farmers, and presutaably Alliance men. 8 - The National Econmist never lets and opportunity pass to have a fling at the News e nd Courier.

The circular concludes as follows: "This meeting will be a protest on part of lovers of the constitution of the Alliance against seeing that organiza tion prostituted by a body of men who have no iutercst in farming, and whose love for the organization is limited by the amount of personal gain they can get out of it. This is an ettort on the part of conservative members and real farmers of the order to emancipate the Farmers' Alliance fronu the control of scheming politicians and designing demagogues. That we will succeed in this eflbrt we entertain no doubt." The letter is signed by U. S. Hall, Chairman, of Hubbard, Mo.; W. S. McAllister, Canton, Miss., and W. L. Sargent, Rayner, Texas.

Geti ing at the Truth about the Recen1 Mexican Earthquake. e SAN FnANCJsco, Aegust 14.-The aChronicle's Yuma, Arizoon, corresponi e deut has made a trip to the town o1 0 Lerdo, Mexico, which was reportec , destroyed by an earthiquake'on July 30. C Hei reports that the accouuts of tIhe -earthquake have been greatly exagger -ated. No houses were destroyed anc( he failed to find the p)lace where th< -Colorado River was reported to be U pouring inito a issure in lie earth. There was no tidal wave in the Gulf o: .California, and the shock was hardly -felt there. The statement that the bill: - dlisappeaired is explained by the fac1 1 that a p(irtion of the sand bluffone hun. t dred feet high fell into the river. gThe correspondent also invest igate( C the silegedi disappearance of the rive; II on the day of the earthquake. Hi -found that opposite Lerdo is a larg< island. A nmumth ago the river flowet r ih the east channel nearest to Lerdo .1 Then it began to chauge inIto) the wes s channel. TIhe cause was the gradua "eating away of the sand blull on the mainland, which fell iinto the east chan o nel and blocked it up.
