k Act Patriotically
POINT OUT DANGER OF DIVISION
The Populists Seem to Realized
' tne Position
WHICH REFORM PARTIES ARE PLACED
Wy tne Time Has Come When Minor Diff
erences Should Be Put Aside and Lines
Closed Up For the Fight—Senator But
ler Talks of the Action of the Execu
tive Committee*
■a •Chicago, Oct. 14 —The Populist na
~’’"'tioual executive committee has given
out the following address:
To the People’s Party Voters of the United
States:
Your national committee indulged the
hope that the patriotic action of the Peo
pie’s party in natio lai convention, in sub
ordinating the interests of the party to
the success of the vital issues involved in
this campaign, would be met by equally
unselfish devotion to a combination in the
present Democratic party, and that all the
friends of silver could present a solid front
against the minions of greed by support
ing one ticket, the truly co-operative
ticket—Bryan and Watson. But this hope
being disappointed, there were but two
courses left, one of which must be
adopted.
First, to run a straight Bryan and Wat
■on electoral ticket in every state, which,
on account of the failure of the Demo
cratic party to support this ticket, would
have effected the same result in this cam
paign that would have followed the nom
ination of a straight Populist ticket at St.
Louis, namely, the election of McKinley
and the triumph of the gold standard.
The other course left open to your com
mittee that was consistent with the action
of the convention in nominating Mr.
Bryan was to do everything in its power
to unite the voters of the country against
McKinley and to overcome the obstacles
* and embarassments which, if the Demo
cratic party had put the cause first and
the party second, we would not have en
countered.
To Divide tile Electoral Vote.
This could be accomplished only by ar
ranging for a division of the electoral vote
# in every state possible, securing so many
electors for Bryan and Watson, and con
ceding so many to Bryan and Sewall. At
the opening of the campaign this, under
x the circumstances, seemed the. wisest
yiourae for your committee, and it is clearer
today than ever that it was the only safe
and wise course if our votes were to be
cast and made effective for the relief of an
oppressed and outraged people.
Following this line of policy, your com-
S, mittee has arranged electoral tickets in
- three-fourths of the states, and will do all
in its power to make the same arrange
ments in nil of the states. By perfecting*
this arrangement, and every sincere op
ponent of the gold standard giving loyal
support to these joint electoral tickets,
the People’s party will not only secure in
the electoral college for Bryan aud Wat
son several times as many votes as we
could have possibly secured by making a
straight ticket, but we will secure the de
feat Os McF’nley and the gold standard,
which shouia hjW be the greatest desire
of every citizen who believes in the prin
ciples of true Democracy.
By this arrangement we can unite a
large majority of the voters on our joint
-electoral tickets, therefore the only hope
of the money power and trusts is to divide
and conquer. The Republican managers
and their Democratic allies realize this
and are putting forth every effort to ac
■complish this end.
An Appeal For United Action,
Some of the Democrats of the revenue
stripe, who are not yet weaned from the
flesh pots of Egypt, but are sticklers of
regularity and are nominally supporters
of Mr. Bryan while secretly and in every
underhanded way trying to accomplish
his defeat, and advising against the joint
electoral tickets, and failing in this, they
advise Democrats to scratch the People’s
party electors, and already a few socalled
Populist leaders are advising the rank and
file of our party to strike back for refus
ing to support the Democratic electors of
the joint electoral tickets. This is a trap
set by the goldbugs, who are rejoicing
that a few honest men have fallen into it.
These reports today are the only ones that
buoy up the hopes of the Republican man
agers, and the Democrats and Populists
4 who are thus enleagued are doing just
what the gold men desire.
Therefore, we appeal to every Populist,
who may have been misled by such mis
taken or false pleas of pretended loyalty
to the People’s party into refusing to sup
port such joint electoral tickets, to stop
Sind consider the result of such conduct
and refuse to be influenced by either mis
guided or corrupt men.
The revolution of the American people
against these boodle men during the last
ten days has so united them that victory
is now assured
“There seems to be a wrong impres
drion regarding the action taken by the
Populist executive committee,” said
Senator Marion Butler. “The address
issued by the committee does not in any
way reflect upon Mr. Watson and will
undoubtedly be approved by him. Com
mitteeman Reed of Georgia came di
rectly here after spending two days
With Mr. Watson, and our ad ress is
entirely approved by him. Os course
the situation as regards fusion in sev
eral of the states is not entirely satis
factory to the committee. Since a union
of forces is necessary to win there ought
to be a union ticket. That ticket should
be Bryan and Watson, but we are not
going to divide our forces.
•Tn Kansas and Colorado where there
are no AVats-in electors the situation is
especially unsatisfactory to the commit
tee and Mr. Watson. But since the
electors in those states cannot be re
divided and give the Populists repre
sentation, we are not going to turn
them over to McKinley. Nothing can
be done in those states now that will
•endanger the success of our success, as
it is the best thing that could be done
to unite the silver forces was our duty
sabove all things.”
Whut Air. Keed Has to Say.
In response to a telegram of innuirv
THE ROHE TRIBUNE.
rrom tne Atlanta journal, if. W. Reed,
Tom Watson’s personal representative
in the national Populist committee, in
session at Chicago, said:
“Mr. Watson will never be satisfied
that the fusion policy is the correct one,
as he has repeatedly expressed himself,
and several members of the national
committee agree with him. The com
mittee concluded it was too late to con
sider another plan, and do not intend *o
be held responsible in case a reform ,
president should not be elected.
“I do not anticipate any friction be
tween the committee and candidates.”
THE REPORT IS RIDICULED.
Cruiser Bancroft Will Not Try to Force a
Passage of the Dardanelles.
Washington, Oct. 14.—The closest
inquiry fails to disclose any change in
the policy of the state department to
ward the Turkish question, and in par
ticular respecting the movements of the
little dispatch boat Bancroft.
From the first the officials of both the
state and navy departments have been
reticent on this subject, and have re
fused to state where the boat is going
further than to make public the official
orders to her commander. These or
ders directed him to report on arrival
at Gibraltar to Admiral Selfridge, com
manding the European squadron, and
to take all further orders from him. It
can be stated positively, however, that
no orders have gone forward since the
original instructions to Admiral Sel
fridge, nor are any on the way now
touching the future movements of the
Bancroft.
The vessel upon arriving at Gibraltar
was ordered by Admiral Selfridge to
proceed to Smyrna, and she is due at
that place in a day or two. The Cin
cinnati is also on the way to the same
point. At Smyrna are now assembled
the flagship San Francisco, the Minne
apolis and the Marblehead. The pur
pose of the gathering is to meet the
Cincinnati and the Bancroft, which
bring out drafts of new men to take the
place of sailors whose terms of enlist
ment are about to expire, for if they are
kept longer the government must pay
them extra compensation. The men re
lieved are to be placed on the Marble
head, whose place on the station will be
taken by the Cincinnati and the Mar
blehead will come home.
Naval officers And others all ridicule
the suggestion that the little Bancroft
will undertake to force a passage of the
Dardanelles, for this would be abso
lutely impossible singlehanded, and as
even if she succeeded she would be help
less when she arrived off Constanti
nople. The probability is that she has
been sent to Turkey to serve whatever
useful purpose she can, whether as a
dispatch boat to communicate between
the larger vessels of the United States
naval squadron or to accommodate Min
ister Terrell.
WHERE IS THE DAUNTLESS?
OuwrnmeA Official* at Jacksonville Wor
ried Ovor tho Little Tug.
Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 14.—Gov
ernment officials here are worried over
the whereabouts of the tug Dauntless,
and it is intensified by a rumor from
Washington that the officials there are
displeased over the disappearance of
the tug.
The steamer Commodore asked per
mission to go out Tuesday night and
the treasury department was asked In
regard to it, but no reply has been re
ceived. The Three Friends and the
Commodore will be looked after sharply
now.
Mr. Bisbee, the owner of the Daunt
less, says the tug is in legitimate busi
ness off Brunswick and that she is not
in any filibustering expedition.
The Spanish consul is Very active and
several additional Spanish detectives
are here. The consul professes to be
satisfied with the action of the gov
ernment officials here, saying that they
could not do any more than they did.
No news has been received from the
Dauntless.

with devotional service led by Rev. J.
O. Roper of Toronto, Canada. About
100 delegates were present, but when
the business sessions begin at least 100
more are expected. The most impor
tant matter to be considered is the re
port of the committee on arrangements
for an international convention next

embraces 1,800 chapters with a total
membership of 18,000 in all. The sole
object of the order is "the spread of

The convention will be in session for a
week.

Been Partially Insured But the Cotton
Was a Total Loss and Falls Very Heavily
On Both the Proprltor and the Men "Who
Had labored So Hard to Make the Crop.
Woolley’s Station, Oct. 14. —The
gin house and machinery on the planta
tion of Captain Woolley were totally de
stroyed by fire yesterday evening about 10
o’clock.
There were about 17 or 18 bales of cot
ton in the gin house, a great deal of
which belonged to the tenants on the
plantation, and it was a total loss.
The building .is said to have been

on the tenants who lost their hard earn
ings for the year in the flames.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Banditfl Hold Up a Train lu Utah.
Salt Lake City, Oct. 14.—A Union
Pacific train due here at 3:15 a. m. was
held up a short distance east of Uintah,
near the mouth of' Weber canyon, and
about eight miles from Ogdefl. It is
supposed that two men did the work,
but how much booty they got is not
known. The engineer, who left the
train, ran ahead to Uintah and reported
the holdup. He believes from the con
versation of the men as they went
through the train, that they intended to
blow up the express car with dynamite.
A train was made up at Ogden and dis
patched to the scene of robbery and or
ders were given to organize a posse and
run the robbers down.
To Settle a Disputed Boundary Line,
San Francisco, Oct. 14.—Colonel
Henry Brady and R. P. Hammond, Jr.,
have left here for Oregon as members
of the government commission to settle
the disputed boundary line of the Kala
math Indian reservation. The original
survey, which was made by the settlers,
leaves a discrepancy of 60,000 acres in
the reservation, which the Indians claim.
It is said that the young Kalamaths
went to school, received a liberal educa
tion and studied the question. They
interested Senator Mitchell of Oregon
in the matter and the last congress
made an appropriation of SIO,OOO to ap
point a commission to settle the boun
dary question.

has given out the following signed
statement: “I see that it is stated in
the press reports that I have ‘bolted’
Mr. Bryan, my law partner, now candi
date for president on the Democratic
ticket. I have always been and am
now a Republican, but no man has a
greater admiration or higher regard for

integrity and patriotism cannot be ques
tioned. I have not ‘bolted’ Mr. Bryan,
and any statement to that effect is
un true. ’ ’

the conference held on Sunday by the
Marquis of Salisbury, the secretary of
state for the colouies, Mrs. Joseph
: Chamberlain, and the British ambassa
dor at Washington, Sir Julian Paunce
fote, was most satisfactory, and it is be

ACTION TAKEN IN A FIT OF ANGER
Dugald Crawford Sees thejError
Os His Ways
AND EXPRESSES' REPENTANCE
lhe Millionaire Dry goods Merchant of St.
Louis Writeit a Letter to His Former Em
ployes Telling Them Their Poiiltions Are
Open to Them If They Care to Return.
Only Two Have Accepted.
St. Louis, Oct. 14.—Dugald Craw
ford, the millionaire drygoods merchant
of this city, who, on last Saturday, dis
charged 12 men because of their an
nounced determination to vote for
Bryan, has written a letter to the press
publicly apologizing to his former em
ployes and telling them that their posi
tions were open to them if they cared
to return. Two men have accepted his
apology and will return to work at once.
Crawford says in his card to the news
papers that his action was taken in a fit
of anger.
A warrant has been applied for in
Crawford’s case by the Democratic state
central committee and the issuance of
it has been taken under advisement. It
is understood that the warrant will not
be issued, as according to the most emi
nent lawyers in the city Crawford has
offended in the spirit of the law only,
not in the letter of it.
No incident of this presidential cam
paign has aroused the people of St.
Louis to such an extent as the action of
Mr. Crawford in discharging 12 men for
the reason that they proposed to vote
for Bryan. Mr. Crawford’s proceeding
was discussed almost to the exclusion of
other topics.
The Democratic state committee took
steps immediately to have the law en
forced against him, and $ 1,000 was sub
scribed to a fund to defray the expenses
of prosecution.
Meetings of various organizations
were held, and resolutions of an omi
nous character passed.
Informal gatherings of ladies resolved
to contribute their share to the rebuke
by patronizing only such establishments,
as do not attempt to coerce their em
ployes. j
The Democrats claim that Crawford’s
action will make thousands of votes for
Lryan in St Louis.
A DENIAL FROM HARCOURT.
The Lender’ of the Liberals In the House
of < ommbns Has Net Resigned.
London, Oct. 14—The St James .Ga
zette, alluding to the reported resigna
tion of Sir William Harcourt as leader
of the Liberal party in the house of
commons, says it may be stated that he
has arrived at bo hasty decision. He
has been dissatisfied at being obliged to
seek a Welch seat, and is also danger
ously surprised at so many Liberals ral
lying to Lord Rosebery’s side.
Continuing, the St Sames Gazette
says that the report of his intended res
ignation is semiofficial and that beyond
doubt, Sir William Harcourt contem
plates a sensational move.
Sir William Harcourt, replying to an
inquiry on the subject, telegraphs that
there is no truth in the report that he
has resigned the leadership of the Lib
eral party in the house of commons.
A BIG STRIKE IN PROSPECT.
The Employes of the Grand Trunk Rail
way Have a Grievance.
Toronto, Oct. 14.—Much dissatisfac
tion among the employes of the Grand
Trunk railway may terminate in a
strike. The men complain that they
are unjustly treated by the foremen and
superintendents, and that their com
plaints are not listened to.
The njost serious point is at Stratford,
wlwre orders were given on Saturday
that the 700 employes there should work
but 45 hours a week, instead of 50 hours,
as heretofore. If the employes at To
ronto and other centers are placed under
a similar regulation, some action will
probably be taken by the men to have
their wrongs redressed.
JORDAN MAY BE APPOINTED.
The President of Stanford University Will
Probably Succeed Goode.
Washignton, Oct. 14?— President
Jordan of Leland Stanford University,
California, is most prominently men
tioned to succeed the late Professor
Goode as assistant secretary of the
Smithsonian institution and director of
the National Museum. The appoint
ment is not likely to be made before the
January meeting of the board of regents
of the Smithsonian institution, but the
question is already attracting much at
tention in scientific circles.
The directors of national museums in
England, France and other European
countries are from the ranks of the fore
most scientists, and the hope is ex
pressed that the successor of Professor
Goode will be one of the first of the
scientists of this country;, one capable
of expanding the museum and making
it truly national. New buildings will
be built and will afford the new direc
tor an opportunity in administrative
work.
The appointment is made by the board
of directors, usually on the recommen
dation of the secretary of the Smithso
nian institution, Professor Langley.
The lutjgr has recently return \1 af’.er
an Kbsetlce or somff tlm’e and has not
yet taken up the question of Professor
Goode’s successor. It is said, however,
that in an appointment of such import
ance, the members of the board will
take a personal interest in it. deferring
largely to Professor Langley’s judg
ment.
The executive committee consists of
ex-Senator Henderson, Hon. Gardiner
Hubbard and Postmaster General Wil
son, who reside in Washington, and a
special meeting can be held to make tho
appointment, but this is not expected.
TO GOVERN SEAL TRADE.
The Form of a New Treaty Will Be Pre
sented to United States by Russia.
San Francisco, Oct. 14.—Baron Nich
olas A. Grebnitzky, governor of the
Russian fur seal islands, is here on his
way toWashington, D. 0., where he
intends to present, through the Russian
ambassador, the form of a new treaty
governing the seal trade between his
country and the United States. He
said:
“I am sorry to say that our seal rook
eries are falling off very noticeably.
Every year the seal life of the islands is
diminishing. This is principally owing
to the work of the poachers, who en
croach on our limits continually. With
the small force at my disposal and only
the occasional assistance of two Rus
sian warships, I do the best I can to pre
vent these inroads, but all oar work
seems to be ineffectual. Next year I in
tend to establish a complete patrol.
“We have a 30-mile treaty limit with
England, and the one object of my visit
to this country is to try and bring about
some agreement of the same kind with
the United States. The sealing schoon
ers of the United States and Canada
bother us more than any others.”
A DON’SSHARPPRACTICE.
Tried to Swindle the Spanish Government
In a Shipment of Mules.
Tampa, Fla., Oct. 14—The Morgan
line steamship Aransas, from New Or
leans, touched here for Havana. Aboard
it were 150 mules for the Spanish gov
ernment, also General Marin, an aide of
the Spanish army.
From a party on board it was learned
that some time ago the Spanish govern
ment contracted with the Morgan line
to convey mules from New Orleans to
Havana at sls each. The commission
to purchase the mules was placed in
Marin’s hands, and up m arrival in New
Orleans a Spanish captain was found
who would convey the mules to Havana
for $8 each.
The bulk of them were sent by his
ship, a few only by the Morgan line to
complete the deception, but the full
Srice was charged the government. The
(organ line detected the trick, and
wrote Marin that if all the stock was
not shipped by their line they would lay
the facts before the Spanish govern
ment. Marin's present trip over was
the result.
From employes onzboard it was ascer
tained that Marin would recognize the
contract in future. Two hundred and
fifty mules will be carried over on the
next trip. They are for use in the
Spanish army.
SENSATIONAL SUIT FILED.
Receivers of the Eagle .nd Phenix Mills
Are After Judge Bigby.
Atlanta, Oct. 14. —A sensational suit
was filed here by the receivers of the
Eagle and Phenix mills of Columbus
against Judge John S. Bigby, former
president of the company, for $59,292.56,
which they claim he owes the corpora
tion.
The bill recites that Judge Bigby was
president of the company at t-he time of
the filing of the bill asking for a re
ceiver and for several years prior to that
time, and that during that time he kept
two accounts with himself, one an in
dividual account and the other as presi
dent. They say in the bill that he be
gan his personal account in July, 1891,
on which he is entitled to a credit of
$14,074.22, and as president his account
began in November, 1«93, on which he
is due the company $73,366.78.
Judge Bigby denies that he owes the
money.
Keane Will Be Succeeded by a Priest.
New York, Oct 14.—According to
Bishop Farley, who was seen at the
residence of Archbishop Corrigan, it
can be officially stated that the succes
sor to Bishop Keane as rector of the
University of Washington, will be a
priest and not a bishop. Bishop Farley
was positive in his announcement, and
additional weight is lent to it from the
fact that he is one of the directors of
the university.
To Hang For Killing His Slates.
Seals, Ala., Oct. 14 —Jackson Young,
a Russell county negro, was sentenced
to hang here ca Nov. 28. Young’s
crime was a particularly fiendish one.
A few weeks ago he assaulted his sister
and killed her. The principal witness
for the state was the prisoner’s own
father, whose testimony convicted his'
son. Th* jury was out a short time,
when it returned a verdict of guilty of
murder.
Serloo. subteM-anean i;xplosloz.
Dumbarton, Scotland, Oct. 14—A se

much like an earthquake on a small
scale, took place here. The liner Cir
cassian, which was lying off' a quay be

and violently moved 30 feet by a com
motion under its stern. The bank was
heaved up for a distance of 100 feet, and
the shipyard was considerably damaged.
The workmen on board the Circassian
were panic stricken.

one Distressed Crew
AND WAS IN TURN THE VICTIM-
When Rescued by the Evelyn, the Crew oU
the Lovise Were Almont Crazy and Pre
■ented a Pitiful Sight—The Captain’*
Graphic Description of the Disaster..
Heroic Work of Sailors.
Philadelphia, Oct 14.—The crew-of
the Norwegian bark Lovise, which
foundered at sea Sept. 25, was lauded in
this city by the British steamer Evelyn,
from Huelva, Spain. Captain Anton
Emendson tells a remarkable story, ot
how his bark rescued the crew of the
ship Marshall on Sept. 9 and landed
them at the Bermudas, and was in turn
rescued by the Evelyn. Captain Emend
son says:
“We left Mobile, Ala., Aug. 16,Joaded
with pitch pine for Bosario, Argentine
republic. We had a light wind until
we leached latitude 35 and longitude
73, when, on Monday, Sept. 7, a hurri
camo struck us. On the ninth .the Lo
vise sighted a ship right ahead, plung
ing helplessly into the heavy sea, Draw
ing closer we saw people on the ship
frantically waving to us and endeav
ored to get near enough to. launch a
boat. Two men with Mate Tallakseu,
at the risk of their lives, after: we ran to
the lee of the wreck, went over to the
side of the boat and took off the Mar
shall’s crew. Four trips in all were re
quired before the entire crew was saved.
The Marshall hailed from Digby, Nova
Scotia and was loaded with pitch pine.
She sailed from Savannah and was
bound for Santos, Brazil.
“We set sail for the Bermudas in or
der to land them, and on Sept. 17 we
did so and proceeded on our way. The
wind continued light and calm until
Wednesday, Sept. 23, when, in a stiff
breeze, the Lovise sprang a leak. I or
dered both pumps manned, and the
crew worked heroically, but the water
gained rapidly. We abandoned the
Lovise on Sept. 25 in latitude 35 longi
tude 50. The boats were well provided
and we had plenty of; water, but the
heavy seas kept the boats half full of
water, so that we had to lighten them.
I put the men on short allowance aud
doled out to them twioe a day.
"It was pitiful to hear the men as the
days went by begging for water, but I
could not give it to< them, for our sole
salvation rested on what little water
we had left. Themea contracted salt
water boils, and finally two of the crew,
Vansen and Thehul, showed symptoms
of insanity. Wc had all we could do
to prevent them fsom killing their mates
or throwing themselves out of the boat.
Captain Horner of the Evelyn, at
midnight of Saturday, Oct. 8, sighted
the two boats manned by a crew of half
crazy sailors. These were the ship
wrecked crew of the Lovise.
“Two boats were swamped trying to
reach them,” said Captain Horner, “and
I brought the steamer under the lee of
the castaways, and, although the Eve
lyn was rolling heavily, I managed to
get the sailors on board. Two of them
were almost crazy and presented a most
pitiful sight. We brought them warm
clothing and made them comfortable
and soon had them all right.”
Rescued the L. M. Reynolds* Crew.
Liverpool, Oct. 14—Captain W. W.
Green and six men, crew of the schooner
Luther M. Reynolds of Frederica, Del.,
were picked up at sea from their dis

weather of it until Monday last, when
three or four heavy seas washed aboard,
starting the deck load and opening
seams so that the vessel began to leak
badly.

stuck to them, in spite of the fact that
the water steadily gained on them un

hatches. The hurricane struck the
