plH* ns He Eiponndi Them.
Think. He Polled 500,000 Notes.
NeW York. Nov. 13.—Thomas E.
Watson to-day gave out the following
statement:
It should be borne in mind that at
the time the Springfield convention
tendered me the presidential nomina
tion. the People’s party had had no
real existence as a factor in national
politics for eight years. In the presi
dential election of 1900 it gave to its
nominee only 5.000 votes. To that ex
tent the fusion of 1896 swallowed up a
movement which in 1894 counted nearly
two million of votes and about 1,500
active newspapers, and therefore, we
had to build from the ground up in
!904. We had almost nothing to start
with in the way of party organization,
campaign funds and newspapers sup
port; we had only three months in
which to work.
"These things being first considered,
some fair idea of what was accomplish
ed can be had only when the official
returns are known. Up to this time, no
official statement has been made of
the vote, and I can only guess what it
was from information conveyed to me
hy friend* in various parts of the
country. These sources, of course, are
not very reliable. Basing an estimate
upon them, however, my opinion is
than I received something like 500,000
votes, scattered through many
states, North, South, East and West to
indicate that the sentiment which
gives its moral support 'to the People's
party is national and not sectional.
Want Jeffersonian Democracy.
"I have found everywhere that the
current was strong ‘and deep in favor
of Jeffersonian Democracy. I believe
to-day that if all those who believe in
that theory of government could be
united in harmonious political action
we could sweep the country. Mr.
Roosevelt's overwhelming majority was
not so much due to the fact that our
people believe in class legislation ‘and
the reign of special privileges. It was
not by any means an indorsement of
corporation tyranny, the greed of the
trusts or the methods of combined cap
ital.
"Mr. Roosevelt's majority over Mr.
Parker was due mainly to two things,
one was the immense personal popu
larity of Mr. Roosevelt himself, and the
other was the immense unpopularity
of Mr. Cleveland’s second administra
tion. Unfortunately for Mr. Parker,
he became so completely identified
with the marauders who plundered the
government during Mr. Cleveland’s
second administration ttfat he had to
bear all the odium which they had in
curred.
Hatred of Cleveland.
“The people have never had a chance
to show just what they thought of
that second administration. Mr. Bry
an s two campaigns did not give them
the opportunity; it w‘as only when the
old Cleveland combination secured the
defeat of Bryan and Hearst and dic
tated the nomination of Mr. Parker
•hat the masses got the opportunity
to tent upon a national candidate the
intense hatred which they had been
nursing for years against such men
as Olney and Belmont and Carlisle and
Cleveland himself. They knew that
I could not be elected, and they were
60 eager to make the best of the op
portunity to safeguard the country
against a repetition of that saturnalia
of class legislation which marked
Cleveland's second administration that
ey rus hed to Roosevelt and gave him
a majority which does not under or

THE PRINCE WILL BE
THE GUEST OF HONOR
At Social Functions at the National
Cauilal.
Washington, Nov. 13.—His imperial
highness, Prince Sadanaru Fushimi,
who is on his way to Washington from
Japan, visits this country by order of
the Emperor, with a double purpose:
first, to deliver to the President a spe
cial message of good will from the £m- t
peror of Japan, and, second, to visit
the World’s Fair at St. Louis, where
Japan has a large exhibit
While the Prince is in Washington
the President has designated Mr.
Peirce, third assistant secretary of
state, as his personal representative to
attend upon the Prince and arrange for
his entertainment. Mr. Peirce will be
assisted by Col. Symons, and already
several functions have been planned,
including a dinner at the White
House, a visit to the Capitol and Con
gressional Library, a luncheon by the
Secretary of State, a reception by the
Prince to the gentlemen of the diplo
matic corps at the Arlington Hotel, a
trip t 6 Mount Vernon and a dinner by
the Japanese legation.
From Washington, the Prince wilj go
to the World’s Fair, where preparations
for his reception are being made by
the fair authorities and the Japanese
commissioners. He will assume his of
ficial character only In Washington and
St. Louis,. apd thereafter will travel
incognito to Netv York, Boston, Phil
adelphia and Chicago. He may also
visit several other large but
as he will sail from San Francisco on
the Mongolia on Dec. 28 his stay in this
country is necessarily much restricted.
The Prince is essentially a soldier
and has followed that profession from
early boyhood. He distinguished him
self in the Chino-Japanese War of 1894
and in the early stages of the present
war with Russia.
FUSHIivFAT CHICAGO.
Japanese Prince Is on His Way to
Washington,
Chicago, Nov. 13.—Prince Fushimi,
member of the Japanese royal house
hold, and special representative of the
Mikado, accompanied by three of his
countrymen and retinue of servants,
arrived in Chicago to-day on his way
to Washington to call on President
Roosevelt and to visit the capital and
government offices. On arrival in Chi
cago the party was taken in charge by
t*e Japanese consul, who looked after
the entertainment, of the visitors un
til to-night at 6 o’clock, when they left
for the East.
"There is no question of national im
portance nor any phase of eastern con
ditions that I care to discuss,’’ said the
Prince through his interpreter. “While
Japan is not at peace, we hope for a
cessation of hostilities before long. My
visit has no particular significance, ex
cept in so far as it may serve to
strengthen the friendship that exists
between Japan and the United States;
but this visit has no connection with
the war with Russia.”
WANT NO POLITICS.
It Is Said the Federation of Labor
Will Tarn Socialists Down.
San Francisco, Nov. 13.—The Ameri
can Federation of Labor will begin a
two weeks’ session in this city to-mor
row. The session will be open to the
public except on the last two days,
when officers will be elected.
The first train from Chicago, bear
ing President Gompers and the mem
bers of the ’ executive council arrived
late to-day.
In speaking of the convention, W. D.
Mahon of Detroit, president of the
Amalgamated Street Railway Em
ployes, said that the labor outlook was
decidedly hopeful and that this would
be one of the busiest sessions in the
history of the Federation. Regarding
the. action of the executive council in
revoking the charter of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, Mr. Mahon ex
pressed himself as at a loss to account
for the council’s • action. He' spoke in
very decided . terms against the in
troduction of politics into the federa
tion. He said the Socialists delegates
to the convention had tried at nearly
every yearly meeting to have
the federation committed to
Socialism and that they
would be again turned down, as would
the delegates of other political parties
that attempted the same object.
Regarding the formation of an In
ternational organization of labor
unions, Mr. Mahon said that the only
steps in that direction were taken by
the Longshoremen of the International
Transportation lines. He added it was
a hard enough Job to get the labor
unions of the United States Into line.
JACKSONS CAPTURED.
Went Virginia Desperadoes Were
Hidden In n Coal Mine.
Charleston, W. Va., Nov. 13.—Ed. and
George Jackson, the two brothers of
Montgomery for whom rewards have
been offered by both city and county
authorities, surrendered to-day and are
now in county Jail at Charleston.
The men had been secreted in an
abandoned coal mine Just outside Mont
gomery and were driven to surrender
by hunger and cold. Word was sent
to Montgomery by a mountaineer, and
on arrival of Squire Davis and a con
stable the men gave themselves up
without a struggle.
Since the shooting of Sheriff Daniel
Thursdsy, and their subsequent disap
pearance the men spent the time in
the coal mine and bloodhounds were
put on their track. The officers took
the men around the town of Montgom
ery end by a roundabout way. brought
the prisoners to Charleston to avoid a
riot or lynching, which would have oc
curred had the citizens of Montgomery
discovered that tha Jacksons had baen
captured.
There are now sis prlaonara Impli
cated In tha Montgomery shooting in
tha Charleston Jail. It Is not consid
ered safe to hold the hearing of any of
them at the pit-sent time.

and windstorm, which developed here
early this morning and continued
throughout the day and night, caused
an almost complete prostration of elec
tric light, telegraph, telephone ’ and
trolley wires. A number of accidents
were occasioned by the heavily charged
wires during the day, and this even
ing, but so far as known there have
been no fatalities.
With the exception of a few West
ern Union wires to Philadelphia and
New York, Baltimore is cut off from
communication with other points of the
country.'

Terrible Explosion Occurred at the
Rear of His Hoase.
Virginia, Minn., Nov. 13. —A terrible
explosion occurred in the rear of the
residence of Mayor Fay early to-day,
and the handsome building is a mass
of ruins.
Fortunately no one was injured, but
it would seem that dynamite was
placed in the rear of th 4 house with
the intention of killing the Mayor as
well as wrecking his house.
For some time past the Mayor has
been waging a vigorous campaign on
the violators of the saloon law and
many threats have been made against
him. There is no clue to the prepetra
tprs of the crime.

WILL INCREASE DUTIES.
Hon Japan Will Provide for ltn
Wnr Expcnaea.
Tokio, Nov. 13. — A draft of the war
tax measure, which the government
plans to submit to the Diet, which is
to meet on Nov. 28, shows a proposed
increase in * import duties of $750,000.
Divided among a large number of ar
ticles the increase on individual arti
cles 1s small, except in the case of to
bacco, glassware, beverages and kero
sene. *
Among the articles on which it is
to increase the duty are ob
jects of art, ammunition, compasses,
crucibles, cutlery, electrical machinery,
agricultural implements, fire extin
guishers, musical instruments, surgical
and scientific instruments, photo
graphic apparatus, spectacles, tele
phones, thermometers, confectioneries,
preserves, grates, safes, stationery,
inks, straw paper, syrup, felt, spirit
ous liquors, carriages, bicycles, pic
tures, alcohol, spirits, chemicals, cot
ton, brass, copper, lead, steel, gold and
silverware.
Duties on a number of articles ex
clusively of Chinese production are in
creased.
The budget to be submitted to the
Diet will practically be the same as
outlined in the previous dispatches of
the Associated Press, except that fur
ther reductions have been made in or
dinary governmental expenditures,
i Baron Arasuke, Minister of Finance,
answering the criticisms of the terms
of the recent foreign loan, said that
the loan was unsatisfactory to the gov
ernment, but the delay In capturing
Port Arthur and the departure of the
Russian Baltic fleet had created a
hitch In the negotiations, and had com
pelled the acceptance of terms less ad
vantageous than those of the first for
eign loan.
' A dispatch from Tokio Oct. 31 said
that in the preliminary estimates of
the budget covering January and Feb
ruary and March, 1905, and the fiscal
year commencing in April, the war ex
penditures were estimated at $385,000,-
000, and the ordinary expenditures at
$60,000,000. It Is proposed to provide
for the war expenses by increasing the
taxation by $45,000,000, by retrenching
from the advance expenses and the
suspension of public works by the
amount of $35,000,000 and to raise the
balance, $35,000,000, by loans.

ed that the armored cruiser Gromoboi
struck a rock and was severely dam

still camped north of the Shakhe river.

Auburn, Cal., N6v. 131—Adolph Web
er has been placed under arrest charg
ed with the murder of his parents, sis
ters and young brother last Thursday
night and with-having set the family
residence on fire afterwards to con
ceal the crime.
Weber took his arrest coolly.
The arrest took place immediately
after he left the witness stand and
after he had reluctantly answered the
questions‘asked him by Coroner Shep
ard, the district attorney and several
of the Jurymen.
The latest theory in the Weber mur
der c'ase is that the murderer shot the
father first, then as the sister appear
ed in the hall, he shot her and then
the mother, seeing what had been done
screamed and started from him, when
he shot her. She continued on across
the room and, raising her left hand,
took down the telephone receiver to call
for help, at which time she received
the second shot, which penetrated the
body Just under the left arm.
The child being the only one left,
the murderer struck him over the head
and felled him.
The operator at the central telephone
office says that the line that the Weber
residence is on showed “busy” at about
a half hour before the fire was dis
covered .

Are Felt.
Woodsholc, Muss., Nov. 13.—The two
-1 masted schooner Eareulurius, Capt.
Nason of Rockland, Me., went ashore
in the northeast gale Hhortly before
dark to-night about three-quarters of
a mile west of Tarpaulin Cove, on the
Island of Naushen.
At sunset the seas were breaking
over the craft, masthead high. No
trace of the crew has been found, and
fears are entertained for their safety.
The vessel is in a particularly ex
posed condition, and the chances of
her being sa'ed are slight
Keeper Carson of the Tarpaulin Cove
lighthouse and a man named Robinson,
one of the keepers of the Forbes es
tate, saw the schooner when she
struck. It was Just before 6 o'clock
and a terrific gale was blowing.
The schooner was coming through
Vineyard sound and was proceeding
*under her foresail, the gale being too
fierce to permit more, canvas being
carried. The schooner tacked and tried
to work into the cove for anchorage,
but the wind bora her off and as she
swung away she struck a ledge of rock
not more than 100 yardß from the light
house.
Carson and Robinson were unable to
render any assistance to the men on
board the schooner. The crew num
bered four men, and all were plainly
seen when the vessel struck, but dark
ness set in almost immediately, and
nothing more was seen of the men or
the vessel.
Keeper Carson had no boat that
could be launched. No lights were
shown from the schooner after she
struck, and no answer given to the
frequent hailings of Carson and Rob
inson.
A careful watch has been maintained
since the schooner struck, in the hope
of rescuing any sailors that might be
swept ashore.
At 9 o’clock to-night It was feared
that all on board had perished. The
seas were breaking over the craft, and
it was not believed that she would
hold together until daylight.

Fred Tharpe, lies wounded. No further
attempt has been made by friends of
the dead man to secure the person of
Christian, since Dr. Elder, the resident
surgeon, drew his revolver and Inform
ed the mob that he would kill the fiist
mao who crossed the threshold. The
members of the mhb evidently believ
ed h# meant what he said for they
took their departure from the premises,
and have not reappeared.
While no anticipation of immediate
trouble Is felt by the authorltlea, a
force of officers is still doing guard
duty, and no effort to protect the
wounded man will be left undone.
Christian, who waa cut In the atomaeh
during the affair which ended in
Tharp'e death, is reeling quietly to
night and the attending surgeons are
still of the opinion thst he will recover
fiotn the effects of hla Injuries,
