HID 10 RVOID FUSIONS. POPULIST CHAIRMAN, NAMED AT NASHVILLE, ISSUES ADDRESS. PLEADS FOR UNITY IN THE PARTY. Jle Advises Populists to Sever all Rela tions With Mr. liutler aiul Work Together In Harmony. Milton Burke, who at the national ■conference of populists at Nashville, Temi., July 4th, was appointed chair man of the national organization com mittee, created at the conference, is sues a lengthy address to the populists of the United States. He reviews the origin and organiza tion of the party, naming the abuses which led dissatisfied elements of the old parties to create a new' one and coming to personal conditions, declares that “the trusts, the monopolies, the corporations, the moneyed interests of fire country are organized. Their •strength is concerted into the action of one man; hence their power, their suc cess. If the people’s party would hope to succeed they must organize, they must unify; they must concen trate their strength. We are confront ed today by obstacles and enemies within and without.” After reviewing the action of the conventions at Omaha and St. Louis and deploring the events of 1896, the ad dress continues: “As chairman of your organization committee I urge every populist, every where, to avoid, repudiate and reject I all fusion or alliance with the demo- [ cratic or the republican party. “I suggest that throughout the en- | tire country wherever there are two or j more populists in a ward, precinct or | township they go to work at once, per- | sisteiitly, to perfect a focal populist j organ izat' ,a in their midst. Press the ! work fiutil you shall have secured a ! compact organization in every county in your state. “If y ur state chairman is not in sympathy with the policy declared at Nashville, yon should select one who is as soon as practicable. In those states where the state chairman and national executive committeemen are in harmony with the policy declared at Nashville, the national organization committeemen will aid them in every manner possible to strengthen the party organization. In this way an enthusiasm can be developed that will know no defeat, no surrender. Pre serve and perpetuate it by the peace ful means of the ballot.” TELLER RIVES WARNING. Advice* Free Coinage Republicans to Hold Aloof From McKinlcyiteft. Senator Teller arrived at Denver, Col., Friday. In an interview he ex pressed himself as strongly opposed to a combination of the silver republi cans with McKinley republicans in the state this fall. On the money ques tion he said: “It is the purpose undoubtedly of this administration to retire the greenbacks and treasury notes and perfect a system by which the national banks will be authorized to issue all paper money. “Their next move will be to retire silver and then bank notes will not be legal tender. ‘What will be the result: The administra tion will have sm ceeded in making gold the only money by which debts can be paid. All debts will have to be paid in the yellow metal.*' FORGAVE THE ASSASSIN. 'toiicliiiij; Scene at the Funeral of Senor Canovas del Castillo.

The incident of the Sontli Carolina senatorial campaign meeting at York ville Thursday was the withdrawal of Candidate Mayfield. Mayfield had made his customary speech attacking the tariff views of McLaurin and in sisting that he was not now nor had ever been in a combination. He then said that on Wednesday and on previ ous occasions he had charged McLau rin with having written the populist platform and attempting to organize that party in South Carolina. At Spartanburg McLaurin had de nied the charges, but after getting what he regarded as further evidence, he offered McLaurin that if he did not prove the charges he had made he would withdraw from the race, and if he proved them, McLaurin himself should withdraw. Mayfield said he had made the charges in good faith, and that he never misrepresented any one. He was now satisfied from what he had heard and from conclusive proof shown him by McLaurin, that he did not dictate the populist plat form and that McLaurin did succeed in striking out that portion relating to organization in the state, and to Mc- Laurin more than any one else was due the credit that there was no popu list fight made in South Carolina.

FOB DUEL WITH SWORDS . ITALIAN AND PttENCRMAN SEEK SATISFACTION ON FIELD. CRIMSON GORE ACTUALLY SHED Combat Who Fast anti Furious From the Start—Prince llenri Wan Filially Placed Hors (In Combat. A dispatch from Paris says: The | count of Turin and Prince Henri of Orleans fought a duel with swords at 5 o'clock Sunday morning in the Bois : <le Marecliaux at Vancressen. M. | Leontieff acted as umpire. The fighting was most determined and lasted twenty-six minutes. There were five engagements, of which two were at close quarters. Prince Henri received two serious wounds in the right shoulder and the right side of the abdomen. The count of Turin was wounded in the right hand. Prince Henri was taken to the residence of the Due de Chartres and received medical attendance. The seconds of Prince Henri of Orleans were M. de Leontieff, gov ernor general of the equatorial prov inces of Abyssinia, and M. Raoul Mourichon. The count of Turin’s were General Count Avagradorde Quinto and the Marquis Carlo di Ginori. The condition of Prince Henri is reported as satisfactory as could be expected. The doctors, after consul tation, have expressed the opinion that no important organ was touched, but absolute rest was necessary for re covery. Owing to rumors at Naples and else where the public had not expected the duel to come off. It was therefore quite private. The official account, furnished by the seconds, recites the circumstances leading up to the en counter. It says: “The count of Turin, considering the letters of Prince Henri of Orleans : to Figaro offensive to the Italian army, wrote to him on July 6th, demanding a retraction. This letter could not be answered until August 11th, the day of the arrival of Prince Henri in France. The prince replied to the count’s demand by telegram, maintain ing the right of a traveler to record his experiences.” The official account then describes the arrangements for the duel and j gives the names of the respective seconds, and says at the first interview they agreed that the encounter was inevitable. By common accord the conditions were settled as follows: The weapons to be duelling swords; each combatant to use that of his own country, but the blades to be of equal length, either combatant to be at lib erty to maintain the ground he gained and each to be allowed the space of fifteen metres within which to advance or retire; each assault to continue four minutes. The combat to be re sumed in the positions occupied and only to terminate on the decision of the four seconds or the advance of the doctor, when one of the adversaries was manifestly in a state of inferiority; the conduct of the meeting to be en trusted alternately to the two parties, lots to be drawn at the commencement. This latter feature of the arrange ment was due to the formal objection of the seconds of Prince Henri of Orleans to the direction of the en counter by a fifth party. At a later meeting the seconds decided upon the rendezvous. The details of the duel show that the encounter was very sharp and de termined. ASSASSIN (JOLLI TRIED.

He rose to the rank of brigadier gene.”a' of state troops before tlie close of the war. When the civil war closed Mr. George returned to Carroll county, re suming the practice of his profession, and later entering politics. In 1879 he was appointed to the supreme bench and soon afterwards was elected "chief justice, in which capacity he was serving his state when first elected to the United States senate in 1881. Had he been permitted to serve his entire term he would, on the 4th of March, 1899, have completed his eighteenth year in the senate.

Both were left for dead, but their cries had reached the ears of a man passing by before the woman became unconscious. The information was wired to Chattanooga and later a posse was organized and started in pursuit. STRIKE SITUATION MUDDLED. "West Virginia Miners Claim That Big Mistakes Have Been Made. A special from Wheeling, W. Va., says: The beginning of another week of the coal strike in the Wheeling and eastern Ohio districts shows a mud dled situation. A vigorous opposition to the course of the United Mine Workers in closing down the mines that supply the sever al iron manufacturing plants has de veloped among the workingmen them selves, many asserting that a big mis take has been made. The situation at the Laughlin mill mine across the river has been straightened out by the declination of the miners to work as long as the campers are in the vicinity. The Laughlin and other plants are now getting coal from Fairmont. RELIEF FUND EXHASTED. Consul General Bee Gives an Accounting of the Money Spent. Consul General Lee, in a report to the state department, says that the SI 0,000 placed to the credit of the re lief fund on May 2‘2d last was equiva lent to $10,975 Spanish dollars.

HON. J. lIOGE TYLER IS NOMI NATED FOR GOVERNOR. PLATFORM IS FOR FREE SILVER. No Deviation From the Cliieago Platform. Edward Echols Named For Lieu tenant Governor. The democratic state convention of Virginia was called to order at noon Wednesday in the Academy of Music at Roanoke. Nearly, if not quite all, of the 1,548 members of the body were present or represented by proxy. The convention began its operations at noon, and had an afternoon session, but nothing was accomplished until the night session, because of some complicated fights before the commit tee on credentials. Major J. Hcge Tyler, a free silver man, was unanimously nominated for governor. The contest over the lieutenant governorship was a close drawn one but resulted in tb e nomination of Edward Echols. The convention then adjourned until 10 o’clock Thursday morning. Special emphasis is laid upon the four great demands of the platform formulated which are; For a tariff for revenue in the lan guage of the Chicago platform. For an income tax and a constitu tional amendment, if it is necessary, in the accomplishment of that end. For the complete regulation of trusts and combines. For the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at the legal ratio of 10 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of other nations. On these points the platform reads as follows: “Wo reaffirm the platform of tho demo cratic national convention adopted at Chi cago in July, 189 C, and upon which William Jennings Bryan was nominated for tho presidency of the United States, and we extend our congratulations to a noble champion upon the able and brilliant man ner in which he discharged his trust. Tho fact that he received more votes than any previous democratic candidate for the pres idency and more than any candidate of any party, barring alone his successful oppo nent, is evidence that democratic principles are still dear to a vast mass of the Ameri can people and that democracy is living in the hope of an early and complete tri umph. We especially indorse the doctrines of the national democratic party upon the four great issues which are before the peo ple of this country, viz: The tariff, the in come tax, the regulating of trusts and the currency. Tariff duties should bo levied for revonue purposes, and only for so much revenue as may be needed for an economic administration of tho government. Upon the subject of currency, we declare ourselves unalterably opposed to the British system of monometallism which has aggrandized that empire at tho expense of the nations producing food supplies and raw material anil its adoption has only aggra vated our financial servitude to Londoa. It is not only un-American, but anti-Ameri can, and it can be .fastened on the United States only by the stifling of that spirit and love of liberty which proclaimed our politi cal independence in 1776, and caused the war of the revolution. We demand an un limited coinage of both gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation.” The platform calls for tlie repeal of the 10 per cent tax on state bank issues, and then goes at some length into state affairs. Asa separate plank, by the narrow margin of 15 votes to 14, the commit tee adopted a resolution providing for the nomination of United States sena tors in the primaries. Details of the plan are gone into at some length. It is an elaboration of the South Carolina plan. GIANT POWDER EXPLODES Resulting In the Death of Two Men and the Injury of Four Others. Advices from Bonne Terre, Mo., state that about 300 pounds of giant powder exploded in the St. Joe lead mine, near that place, Wednesday night, killing William B.

A special from Paris says: The sec onds of Prince of Orleans and General Albertone had a brief conference Fri day and, it is said, postponed tbe dis cussion of the proposed ditel betw’een the general and the prince, in conse quence of the intervention of Prince Victor Emmanuel, count of Turin, the second nephew of the King of Italy, who claims precedence over all others in the matter. The count is n major of cavalry in the Italian service. A local newspaper of Borne says that the Couut of Turin, who is under stood to have challenged Prince Henry of Orleans to fight a duel, left Italy secretly for the purpose, his departure being unknown eveu to the commis sioner of police. It is added that the count w r as accompanied by the Mar ques di Ginori and an aide-de-camp. Swords are reported to have been selected as the weapons to he used. The causes which have led to the challenging of Prince Henry by Ital ian officers are of unusual interest and sufficient in themselves to make this the most famous duel of the century, aside from tlie prominence of those in volved. The trouble all arose over the prince’s comments published in the Paris Figaro on the conduct of the Italian prisoners at the Court of Menelik. The Italians were furious, and every officer who survived the terrible battle at Abbey Abeba an nounced bis determination to fight, tbe young explorer upon his return from Abysinnia. Prince Henry, who is persom 1 y very brave, immediately signified bis willingness to sustain bis position in tbe matter, and offered to meet the chief in rank among his challengers. This man was General Albertone. Many other challenges, however, were hurled at the young prince, and al most the entire Italian army wanted to fight him. Prince Henry returned to Paris a few days ago from his expedition and immediately took up the mutter of the challenges. Preliminaries and ar rangements for the meeting with Gen eral Albertone were commenced and the duel between the two was regard ed as inevitable, when another, and even higher, personage, appeared on the scene and demanded the right, by reason of rank, of crossing swords with the scion of the house of Orleans. If the princes are brought together on the field of honor it will be the most remarkable and important duel of the present century. GEO R< G A l'K N SlO N MIX-UP. The Appropriation Was Not Quite Suffi cient to Go Hound. There is a curious complication in the Georgia pension fund this year. The legislature appropriated $150,000 for invalid pensions, thinking there would be 2,500 applications. There were 2,000 on the rolls last year, and it was estimated that there would he 500 more. Instead of that there would be by the time the origi nal 2,000 were paid that there would be 1,000 more. There was full pay for only half that number, so, after a consultation between the governor and the pension commissioner it was decided to divide the remaining $30,000 among the applicants whose claims had been ap proved. These applicants got $3O each. Now it is said that these $3O men having received pensions under the same law as that which gave $6O each to the first 2,000 have a claim on the state for $3O each to put them on the same basis with the others. SHERMAN CAUSES WORRY. If is Utterances and Actions a Tliorn In the President's Side. A Washington special says: That something serious is pending in the state department no one at the capital denies, hut just what turn tilings are going to take is problematical. The foreign diplomats in Washington all notified their governments the condi tion of the secretary of state, but it is none the less embarassing for the ad ministration to read nearly every morning some undiplomatic expression from the head of the cabinet. It is injustice, not only to this coun try and its public men, but to the aged Sherman himself, for papers to print interviews with him at all. Everything he says is promptly tele graphed abroad and public sentiment here is judged by these interviews. GEORGIA LUMBER MEN To Devise a Plan XVhereby the Cutting: of Prices Will be Stopped. The lumber men of Georgia have hit upon a unique plan to maintain and advance prices. They have a device which is intended to minimize compe tition without making the stockhold ers obnoxious to the anti-trust law. The p'an is to organize a company with $50,000 capital and ten or fifteen of the largest mills in the state arc to take the stock. This company will have offices in Atlanta and Savannah or Brunswick, possibly at both Savan nah and Brunswick. The company is to act as selling agent for the mills in terested.

BLOODSHED MAY BE THE RESULT. Strikers Will Defy Orders of Court unci Arrests Will Follow* Causing Serious Complications. A Pittsburg special says: Sweeping and far-reaching injunctions now fig ure in the coal miners’ .strike in the Pittsburg district. The developments of Thursday tended to make the situ ation a strained one and it appeared that a crisis was near at hand. The strikers have demonstrated that their assemblages, marches and mis sionary work have materially affected the output of the New York and Cleve land (fas Coal company, while at the same time - public sympathy lias been enlisted in tbeir cause. The sheriff’s proclamation, issued two weeks ago restraining the men from assembling and marching, has been a dead letter and the marches have been continued daily. No dis turbance of any kind has occurred, the officials of the miners contriving through the ivliole time to keep their men w'ithin peaceful bounds. A preliminary injunction was issue.'!’. Thursday by Judges Collier and Stowe, which now brings the matter to the county courts for settlement. The order includes President Ratcb ford and Lee Pierce, of the United Mine Workers of America, and Presi dents Dolan and Warner, of the Pitts burg District Mine Workers. The hearing of the case and the de cision is looked forward to with much interest. The miners and their offi cials claim that they are keeping within the law and have the right to assemble in peace and demonstrate to the world that they are being wronged by a rate of wages that keeps them constantly at the point of starvation; also that they have a right to use their presence and influence among men who are militating against their in terests by continuing at work. The New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company, on the other hand, as sert that the inarches and assemblages are unlawful and a menace to their employes, many of whom, they say. are willing to work provided the strik ers remain away. Looking at the matter from this standpoint, the com pany made its radical move in the courts to bring about a condition un der which the company can operate its mines. The hill for an injunction against the United Mine Workers’ was filed in the county courts about noon by coun sel for the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company. The defendants named are the United Mine Workers of America, Patrick Dolan, president; Edward McKay, vice president; Wil liam Warner, secretary and treasurer, and others. Judge Collier granted a preliminary injunction restraining order and en joining the defendants from assem bling or marching or encamping in proximity to the mines and houses of the miners for the purpose by intimida tion, menaces, threats and approbious words, of preventing the miners of the plaintiff from working. It further restrains the defendants from inducing or compelling any em ploye or miner to quit w - ork. A hearing was fixed for August ICth. The injunction is regarded as the most sweeping yet issued. President Dolan expressed surprise when informed that it had been granted, and added: “It will make no difference to us.
