WATSON NOT VISITED.
NATIONAL CHAIRMAN BUTLER
IN WASHINGTON.
He U Somewhat Iletlcent and the Whole
.Matter Is More or Less Mysterious
Satisfied With tlia Itesult of the Popu
list KiecutWe Committee Meeting
Fallon Arranged In Nearly All the
States.
Olialrman llutlrr In Washington.
Washington, Oct. 17. Senator But
ler, chnirman of tho Populist national
committee, did not go to Georgia to
see Thomas E. Watson, I'opullst nomi
nee for Vice President, as was reported
from Chicago, but camo here, instead,
because, as was declared, it was abso
lutely necessary for him to do so. It Is
also reported from Chicago that Com
mitteeman Heed and Subchuirman
Wnshburn have not started for Georgia,
and tho whole matter is more or less
mysterious.
Mr. Itntlcr refused to talk of the
Watson mutter this morning, but ex
pressed himself as satisfied with tho
result of the Populist executive com
mittee meeting nnd the general out
look, and said that fusion would be ar
ranged in all States but Georgia and
North Carolina. lie regarded Ohio as
doubtful, Indiana as safe for Bryan,
and Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota nnd
Iowa In tho balance. He classed Ken
tucky aB safe and Maryland and West
Virginia as doubtful.
Senator Ilntler at noon stated that
lie bad not received Mr. Watson's let
ter of acceptance, and declined to dis
cuss tho probable character of the let
ter or to say whether he would give
out the letter when received. His
friends say that It Is probable he would
not consider it his province to make it
public In case it should be received by
him before It should be given to the
press. They argue that it is customary
lor the candidate to make public such
documents nnd that there is no ques
tion of etiquette involved.
Senator Butler docs not admit that
there are any differences between Mr.
Watson and the party managers, but
it is no secret that the committee has
felt considerably annoyed by Watson's
attack upon its fusion policy. It is
stated to be a mistake to conclude, as
appears to have been done in certain
quarters thut an effort will be made to
secure Mr. Watson's withdrawal from
the ticket.
Atlanta. Ga., Oct. 1 . Mr. Watson
wired to the Atlanta Journal to-duj as
follows, regarding the publication of
his letter mailed to Chairman Butler
accepting the nomination: "Mr. Hut
ler must decide as to the letter. I did
not wire Uutler not to come. On the
other hand, 1 expressed a willingness
to see the committee here."'
KILLED BY A MANIAC.
Murders Ills Sinter, llrothcr nnd an
Old Man.
?TKnV:;.;.K, Mo., Oct. 17. A triplo
tragedy occurred In this, Reynolds
county, yesterday, on Logan's creek,
near Ellington, formeily Hnrnesville.
John Imboden, with an ax, brained hiB
sister, about 15 years of nge. bis
brother, some older, who was sick in
bed, and a very old man named Jacob
Wilhelni. The girl and Wilbelm were
killed in the yard. He then entered
the house and killed his brother. Two
younger sisters escaped to their father,
who was at work in a cornfield. They
then went to a neighbor and gave the
alarm, fearing to return to thu house.
When the citizens and constable col
lected and returned, Imboden was in
the yard, where two of his victims lay,
with the bloody ax in his bund. Tho
officer had to threaten to shoot him be
fore he would surrender. Two months
ago Imboden lost his wife and two
daughters suddenly, and it is supposed
that this, together with a hard spell of
sickness, has deranged his mind, tie
was a prominent citizen. Excitement
is very hltrh.
WATSON STILL BITTER.
Gencls a Telegram Satagely Denouncing
tho Fuslonlsts.
TorKKA, Knn., Oct. 17. Tho follow
ing telegram was deliverd to Abe Stein
bcrger, secretary of the so-called middle-of-the-road
State committee yester
day: Ulcerated throat will prevent my
keeping appointments. I greatly re
gret this. The middle-of-the-roud
Populists all over the union have
ray sympathy and admiration.
They have been sold out and their
party made a foot-mat for Demo
cratic politicians to wipe their feet
on under tiie hypocritical pretense of
patriotism. The fuslonlsts nave aban
doned principle nnd gone into a mad
scramble for the pie counter. If Bryan
is defeated it will bo the fault of the
traitors in his party and ours, who
have ignored the St. Louis compromise
and tried to force tho Populist vote
for Sewall, the bondholder, national
banker, corporation plutocrat and gold
cluuse millionaire.

AFTER "DYNAMITE DICK."
Deputy Marshal Tlionim of Oklahomt
Vainly Knters a Had Missouri Section.
Bkdalia, Mo., Oct. 17. United State?
Deputy Marshal Heck Thomas ol
Guthrie, Okla.. who killed Mil Doolin,
passed through here yesterday on the
trail of Charles Clifton ("Dynamite
Dick"), who was believed to be at a
farm house near Clifton City, twenty
miles northwest of here. To-day tho of
ficer returned empty handed, but loft on
the cast-bound morning train and re
fused to dlvulgo tho whereabouts of
his destination. "Dynamite Dick" and
six other desperadoes robbed a South
west City bank In 1804. Five of tho
seven were killed In a ruMnlng fight
with officers and others, who, on tliolr
side, lost State Senator Scarboro and
another. Later "Dynamlto Dick's'
surviving nssoclato was killed In tho
territory.
Tho country around Clifton City has
often been frequented by outlaws.
More than twenty-five years ago tho
James boys and their companions had
a rendezvous there. Tho Laminc river
passes through that section, running
south from Clifton City toward Otter
villo. Twice wore Missouri Paclflo
railway trains held up at tho latter
place. Early in the '70s tho
James boys, after corralling a
number of citizens in a black
smith shop, robbed a train in a deep
cut near tho Lamlne river bridge, just
cast of tho town. A few years ago
bandits again stopped a train near
Ottervllle. Several sacks of money
which the robbers had been compelled
to drop In tholr flight wero afterwards
found in an adjoining field.
Tho country is broken and densely
covered with timber, precipitous hills
and bluffs forming the shores of tho
Lamlne river, and offering almost in
accessible retreats. Bill Dalton is bald
to have been in camp there two years
ago, and other desperadoes, to elude
officers In Oklahoma nnd Indian terri
tory, have secreted themselves among
the Lamine river hills.

MR. BOUTWELL EXPLAINS.
The Secretary of the Treasury In 1873
Advised Silver's Demonetisation.
Boston, Oct. 16. Tho principal
speaker of tho Twentieth Century Club
last night was Ex-Secretary George S.
Boutwell, who discussed the silver
question. Ho said: "My part in the
preparation of tlio mint bill of 1873 was
very considerable. The bill was tho
result in no small measure of recom
mendations which I made to Congress,
aucr cureiui consiaerauon ox me ex
isthitr eurruncv svstem when T wiu nn-
pointed to tho office of the Secretary
of the Treasury. The bill contained
seventy-ono sections, one of which
culled for tho demonetization of silver.
If 1 am asked the pertinent question
of why I sought to work a change in
tne tinancial question,! will answer
that I had come to believe it was for
every nation of the world to recognize
and maintain the gold standard."
Mr. Boutwell denied that the bill
was forced upon tho nation secretly,
fraudulently and stealthily. Concern
ing these charges he said that "There
was not the least suspicion about the
fealty of anyone until 1878, when the
failure of the trade dollar was the slcr-
nat lor tiie crusade against the
1873."

by what routo he would reach Kansas
City, but, although five duys have
elapsed since, Watson hus not replied.
From this Steinberger believes that
Watson Is on the wny, and that he will
hear from him this afternoon or to
morrow. Although it is stated in dispatches
from Chicago that Watson's friend and
representative, II. W. Reed, was satis
fied with the manifesto Issued by tho
executive committee yesterday, Stein
berger declares that he is near enough
to Watson to know that the latter will
not submit to any such terms, that, on
the contrary, Watson will be more de
termined than ever to make a fight in
Kansas and Colorado for his rights as
the candidate Of the People's putty for
! vice president
' While Steinberger is thus positive,
I there 5s a growing belief in the minds
oi other politicians that since Reed's
acquiescence yesterday Watson will
i abandon his proposed Western tour
"ml submit to the Inevitable. The poll-

, Watson's throat is so sore as has been
published. "I never belloved he had
such a sore throat," a man said in the
Copeland hotel this mornlog. "He has
only been waiting to see whether thoso
fellows at Chicago would undertake to
put him off the ticket"
