Less Extravagant iu His Ante-Election
Claims Than Obairniau Jones.
ADMITS THAT SOMESTATES ARE DOUBTFUL
Chairman of the I'opiillnt National
Committee ClalniN a I'li
Clinnee for Ilryan In
.Mlilillc Statex.
WASHINGTON , Opt. 16. Senator Butler ,
chairman of the populist national committee ,
returned from Chicago this morning. He
expressed himself as satisfied with thu result
ot the meeting of the populist executive
committee , and also with the general out
look. "Thcro are only four states , " said he ,
"In which fusion has not been arranged
Ocorgln , Florida , North Carolina and Ten
nessee. An adjustment will bo reached In
Florida and Tennessee without do'ibt. ' So
far as Georgia is concerned , the state will
Fo cither for liryan and Watson or Bryan
nnd Scwnll. An adjustment In North
Carolina Is difficult because the democrats
rejected several very fair propositions which
were made.
"Hcnardlng the middle western states
Ohio can bo classed as doubtful ; Indiana ,
with the fusion arranged. Is safe for Ilryan
nnd Illinois. Michigan , Minnesota and Iowa
nro In the balance. I regard It as safe to
assume that the chances nro even In these
mates ; that Is. that two ot the four will gc
for Bryan and silver. Kentucky Is nnfo ;
\Vc-A Virginia nnd Maryland ore doubtful ,
with the chances , I think , strongly In favor
of Brynn In the former. In Maryland the
result will depend upon the republican
farmers. If there Is enough disaffection
among them to offset the gold democratic
defection In Baltimore , Bryan will carry thr
fitate. For the population there Is a greater
pold democratic defection in Baltimore , I
think , than In nny city west ot Now York. "
Senator Butler nt noon ntntcd that ho had
not received Mr : Watson's letter of ncccp-
tance , which the latter Is quoted ns saylnc
ho had mailed to the senator on Wednesday ,
Mr. Butler declined to discuss the probable
charnctcr ot the letter or to Bay whether he
would give out the letter when received.
but his friends say that It Is probable he
would not consider It his province to maku it
public In. ease It should bo received by him
before it should bo given to the press. They
orguo that It Is customary for the candidate
to make public such documents , and that
them Is no question of etiquette Involved.
Senator Butler and the national commlt-
tco arc represented by a subcommittee con-
nlHtlng of Vice Chairman Washburn nnd Mr.
Heed , the Georgia member , who nrc now
on their way to Georgia to confer with the
vice presidential candidate and they will be
Joined by other members of the general
committee In cane there Is nny call for their
prcscncu nt the conference. The purpose of
the visit Is understood to bo to prevail upon
Mr. Wntson to accept with good grace the
re n era I committee address Issued from Chicago
cage ns the proper policy for the party , to
imvn iho detail of party management to
the committee , and to cease his public criti
cism of the. committee's course. Senator
Butler does'not admit there are any differ
ences between Mr. Watson and the pnrty
management , but It Is no secret that the
committee has felt considerably annoyed
by Watson's attack upon Its fusion policy.
H Is stated to be a mistake to conclude ,
as appears to have been done In uncertain
quarters , that the visiting committee will
ninke nn effort to sccuro Mr. Watson's with
drawal from the contest , or that the na
tional committee IH desirous of accomplish
ing this result. On the contrary , It Is their
earnest desireto keep Mr. Watson's name
on the ticket as being In the best Interest
of Mr. Bryan and the populist party. There
lias been some apprehension on the part of
name members , though apparently It has
not been shared by Chairman Butler , that
Mr. Watson might carry hU resentments
against the fusion policy lo the extent ot
declining the nomination or of putting his
'acceptance on the condition that fusion In
ouch states as Kansas and Colorado should
be arranged so as to Include a Watson
representative , and apparently this feeling
etlll exists to n degree.
Senator Butler denies the story which
originated In Chicago that there had been
n personal difference between himself nud
Vli'3 Chairman Washburn , but states that
on the contrary the best possible feeling
exists between them.

CHICAGO , Oct. 16. Theodore Itooscvclt of
New York spoke nt the Coliseum last night
on thu Issues of the campaign. He had an
Immense audience and was enthusiastically
received. The address was long and covered
the principal Issues of the campaign. The
speaker wns particularly severe In his char
acterization of Candidates Bryan nnd Alt-
geld. Ills denunciation of Governor Altgcld
brought forth cheers from his republican
hearers. In speaking ot Candidates Bryan
and Altgcld , Mr. Itooscvclt said :
"It Is not merely school girls that have
hysterics , very vicious mob leaders Iiava
tlirni nt times nn.l so do well meaning dema
gogues when their heads arc turned by the
applause of men of little Intelligence and
their minds Inflated with the Idea of ncqulr-
Ing solid leadership In the country. The
dominant note In Mr. Bryan's utterance
nnd In the campaign waged In his behalf Is
the note of hysteria.
"For Mr. Bryan we can feel the con
temptuous pity we always feel for the
small mali unexpectedly thrust Into a big
place. Ho does not look well In a lion's skin ,
but that Is chiefly the fault of those who
put the skin on him. Hut In Mr. Altgeld'a
case we see all too clearly the Jaws and hide
of the wolf through the fleecy covering. Mr.
Altgcld U a man moro dangerous than Mr.
Bryan. Ho Is much slyer , more Intelligent ,
much less silly , much more free from all the
restraints ot some public morality. The ono
plans wholesale repudiation with n light
heart and bubbling eloquence because he
lacks Intelligence nnd Is * Intoxicated by the
hope of power ; the other would connive at
wholesale murder and would Justify It by
elaborate nnd cunning sophistry for reasons
known only to his own tortuous soul. For
America to put men like this In control of
her destinies would bo such a dishonor as It
Is scarcely bcarnblo to think of. "

NO REPUDIATION IN .MONTANA.
Governor Itlekariln llefeiiilx the In-
trirrlty of Illx State.
HELENA , Mont. , Oct. 10. Speaking .of on
article In a New York paper attacking the
financial Integrity ot Montana , Governor
nickards In an Interview says :
"The statement that Montana docs not
honor her outstanding obligations is false
and malicious. The warrant Issued to
Laurltzcn & Co. , for $500 * , was drawn against
the state capital fund , and so states upon
Its face. The fund Is created from the sale
nnd leasing of 183,000 acres of land , granted
to the state by the federal government for
the purpose of erecting buildings. The
warrants Issued against this fund are largely
In the nature of bonds drawing 7 per cent
Interest nnd redeemable ns money accumu
lates in the fund. They nrc lsued with that
understanding , nnd show upon their faces
that they are not payable out of the general
fund of the state.
"Because the state refuses to nay out of
the general fund a warrant drawn on n
specific fund , the assaults on the credit and
tgood name of the state of Montana , and at
tempts to make politic ! ) capital by crsumlng
that it Is a dishonest and poverty stricken
silver state are outrageous. If tlio warrant
In question had been against the general
fund It would have been promptly cashed.
It will bo paid out of the state capital build
ing fund precisely upon the terms which it
was Issued , namely : from the moneys that
accumlato therein from the sale and leasing
of state lands tcfcrrcd to. Mr. Laurltzen
knows the conditions under which this fund
IH created , and the terms upon which war
rants against It are Issued. If he has mis
led his bankers It affords no excuse to any
one to libel the great commonwealth of
Montana. " _ _ _ _ _ _ _

WASHINGTON , Oct. 16. The European
reports of the Agricultural department Issued
by the chief statistician show that the crop
of Great Britain has been somewhat re
duced In the north and In Scotland by the
persistent wet weather In September , which
practically ruined most of the wheat then
ungathcrcd. In the southern counties
harvesting operations were completed before
the bad weather set In , and the wheat Is of
n finer milling quality than has been known
for years. The report says : Fifty million
bushels would be a liberal estimate for the
product of Great Britain. The barley crop
has been shortened and seriously Injured In
quality by the rain. Hay and oats are short ,
ot only here , but on the Baltic. Hence It
lay bo expected that there will be a good
market for Imported hay nnd that the
normous consumption ot corn In the United
: ingdom during 1895-90 will be equaled In
10 coming year. It Is practically certain
lot the end of the current harvest year will
co nogreat surpluses , nnd It Is reasonable
o suppose that we shall see no further rc-
uctlon of wheat areas such as have been
bservablo In the records of the last year.
France There Is no material loss In wheat
rom bad harvest weather. The barley crop
s , however , somewhat affected. The cstl-
late as to the wheat crop of the National
Association of French Millers , Issued last
week. Is higher than the official estimate ,
'ho millers' figures are as follows : Acreage ,
C.9Gfl,000 ; bushels , 344,000.000 ; official acre-
go , 17,103,000 ; bushels. 327.000,000. Last
car's crop grown on 17,360,000 acres was
33,000.000 bushels.
Germany The wheat crop Li a poor nver-
ge , except In Prussia , where It Is officially
eportcd below the average. The annual
production of this cereal , however. Is small
n comparison with that of rye and potatoes.
'
The estimate of the rye crop , 316.000,000
mshcls , Is considerably over the average and
s believed to be excessive. Potatoes are
xpected to give only half n crop. It may
e expected that the wheat Imports of 1896-97
vlll exceed the average , and that a larger
iroportlon than usual will come from the
Jutted States. This would , of course , bo
nullified by any material advance In the
rlco of wheat , a not unlikely contingency.
Denmark Wheat Is a good average. The
owlngs of winter wheat are now well along.
Spain In the estimate by the Hungarian
minister of agriculture of the wheat crops
of the world , ho considered that Spain
vould harvest 72.3C6.000 bushels. The , fled-
It of the year Is estimated by him to
exceed 34,000,000 bushels , more than double
hat ot last year.
Austria-Hungary Wheat under average
and reports as to corn crop are not opti
mistic.
Italy An average crop all around.
Roumanla The estimate Is 69,600,000 bush
els ot wheat. The corn crop is extremely
disappointing , and the same statement Is
nadn nbout all the Danublan countries ,
lurlfis the harvest year endued July , 1895 ,
IICBO countries shipped more corn to Eng-
and than did the United States , while dur-
ng the year Just ended shipments may cut
a small figure.
Tlussla There Is a big deficiency In the
Russian wheat crop. The highest estimate
puts the crop at 374,000,000 bushels , the low
est under 300,000,000. General opinion In
clines toward the lower. Russian phlppcrs
now nrc holding persistently above the
market.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 16. The October
fruit report of theAgricultural department
shows a heavy apple crop , and an especially

Prices are extremely low. Tills Is particu
larly the CESC In Michigan , whcro the mar
kets are glutted. The disastrous storm of
the first week In September did much
damage to fruit along the Atlantic coast.
The October returns on hops show nn
Incrcajo In New York nnd Wisconsin. There
Is a languishing condition of the hop growing
Industry , particularly In the latter region ,
many yards throughout the country have
been neglected and a part of the crop will
not be harvested. The continued low prlco
Is the reason for this neglect. The report
says that In view of the great Increase in
the production of malted liquors , this cqndl-
I'nu ' of things ought not to exist , and adds :
"It Is , however , but another Instance of the
Injury of the farming Industry brought
about through the substitution of chemical
for the moro healthful agricultural agent
In manufacture- which seems the Inevitable
trend of Invention. "

little one detailed WhllchoAd's conduct * and
the arrcsl followed.
At the preliminary hearing , Whltehoad
denied the crime. The defense proceeded
on the theory that the lltile Klrl had been

County Commissioner W. I. Klcrstcad re-
timed yesterday morning from a brief visit
o Chicago and Mlchlgsn. Ho was In Chicago
urlng the celebration of the rejuvenation
f the Windy City and saw the parades of
ho McKlnley and Ilryan forces. Mr. Klor-
tead says words cannot express the fccl-
ngs created by thfc monster parade of the
IcKlnlcy contingent , which took place In
he daytime , Jusk ono week ngo yesterday ,
ho parade started from the rendezvous at 10
o'clock In the morning and reached the
lotcl whcro Mr. Klerstead was stopping at
ust twenty minutes after starting. From
hat tlmo until 3:30 : In the afternoon Mr.
vtcrstcad says there was n steady stream
of marching men passing along the street
n front of the hotel. At no time wcro
licso marchers less than eight abreast ,
nnd the majority of the companies marched
sixteen abreast. They kept close together
and formed n solid body , marching at a rapid
gait. The sidewalks were crowded with
ipeclators , and those who took up positions
vhero they" could see the parade were com
pelled to remain there until the long parade
md passed , as the 'crowd was so dense
hat It wcs Impossible to pass through It.
The most careful estimates , Mr. Klcrstcad
says , placed the number at 68.000.
Mr. Klerstead says ho went nbout the
trccts on the south olde of Chicago nnd
ook note of the flags end banners displayed
> y the business houses. There were thou
sands of these banners , the decorations
icing on the most liberal scale. There was
carccly n Bryan banner or .flag to be scon ,
vcrythlng being McKlnley decorations.
While In Chicago Mr. Klcrstead says he
made It a point to Inquire Into the political
Uuatlon nnd took particulnr pains to con-
uH with worklngmcn nnd mechanics , rather
ban with business men. He says he talked
vlth employes on the street railways , with
hop men , and with laboring men , nnd the
result was most favorable to the election
ot McKlnley. Ho Is convinced , he says , that
Chicago will go for McKlnley by a majority
of nt lenst 50,000 , nnd the figures may be
loublcd.
Mr. Klcrstcad also says he met several
men from various parts of Illinois , mostly
armers , and all expressed the opinion that
ho tide wns running strongly toward Mc-
tlnley and that ho would carry the state
by a majority ranging from 100,000 to 200-
000.
KICKERS ARE PLANM.NO A REVOLT.

There Is no small amount of Indignation
expressed by members of the Seventh Ward
Republican club at the action of a number
of alleged politicians In that neighborhood In
trying to concoct a revolt from the council-
mania ticket In the nnmo of the club. A
lozcn of the most nronilnent republicans o'r
ho ward called al republican headquarters
yesterday morningto declare that
; bo movement In no way repre
sented the sentiment of the club.
Last night the club had adjourned to
attcnuV the Allison meeting , and In the ab
sence of the members John C. Thompson ,
Sam Maclcod and a few other malcontents
met and appointed a committee to Investi
gate alleged Irregularities at the primaries.
Among those who protest against this action
are ono or two who wcit ! appointed on the
committee , but who declare that they were
neither present nor In sympathy with the
proceedings. They cite the fact that the
highest vote received by nny of the candi
dates who nre now endeavoring to defeat the
regular nominee was twenty-eight , and that
the movement represents merely the effort
at novcngo of one or two men who were
snowed under and don't like it.
These candidates seem to have company
In their misery , however , for In the Third ,
Fourth , Fifth and Eighth wards the de
feated candidates are also trying to mid er
mine the prospects of their successful com
petitors. In the Third and Klghth both
Prlnco and Taylor signed a written agree
ment to get out of the race If they were
defeated at the primaries. This would
ordinarily prevent honorable men from run
ning Independent , but they are neverthe
less trying to accomplish the same object
by running some ono else. Prince Is
grooming Will liutler , who was for a long
tlmo employed by him as chief clerk at the
Windsor hotel , to pull his chestnuts out of
the nre , and E. W. Heed Is also being pushed
an an independent candidate.
In the Eighth Taylor has not yet shown
his hand. During the past day or two he
has circulated among his friends , telling
them to withhold their allegiance from
Crocker , the regular nomineeHo says
that ho will not run himself , but that some
ono clso will bo In the field In a few days.
The Identity of his dark horse Is not dis
closed.
0. A. Askwlth , who was beaten by A. J.
Lunt In the convention , Is an Independent
candtdato In the Fifth , and while his friends
have no bopo of electing him , they declare
that they will beat Lunt and secure the
election of a democrat.
F. IJ. Kcnnard , who wns turned down by
nearly four to one In the Fourth , has also
raised the cry , of "traud , " and while he
has not announced himself as an Inde
pendent candidate , ho Is said to bo favoring
Dr. Pcabody , the populist candidate , against
W. F. Bcchel.
Whllo. there are some symptoms of dis
satisfaction In the Sixth ward , the discon
tented contingent has been unable to find
any ono who Is willing lo take up tbo fight.
Members have approached H. C. Ucttorman
and Ethan Wollcott , who were candidates
at the primaries , but both men have refused
to take the field against Karr. The boltIng -
Ing Individuals declare that since Karr only
received about 300 votes out of 1,100 cast ho Is
not the popular choice of the ward , although
ho received nearly twice as many as the
next highest candidate. This dissatisfac
tion Is not regarded as Important by the
republican managers , as the same condi
tions prevailed during the last two council-
manic campaigns In this ward , and In each
case the regular nominee was elected by a
largo majority.

"Th" meeting of the Nebraska Bert Sugar
association , which v.lll bo held at Grand Is-

J. Nnson yesterday , "according to present
ndlcatlons , promises to be ono of the most
mportant and Interesting meetings held by

light to have delegates from every com-
nunlty In the state interested In
ho rapid development of this Inv
lorlant Industry. The experimental
icrlod Is pas * , nnd It has been clearly
emonstrntcd that the soil and cllninto of
Nebraska arc as suitable for the production
f auger beets as nny territory in the United
Slates or Europe , whcro beet sugar has bein
ucci'sstully produced. The main thing
icccssary now to make Nebraska a great
ugar-produclng state IB sufllclcut manufac-
urtng facilities to utilize the vast product
vhlch Its agriculturists stand ready to sup
ply. Many communities have already do
lared their willingness to make five-year
ontracts for an annual product of frott
i,000 to 10,000 acres It suitable factories are
ocatcd for their convenience and the con-
umptlon of the product.
"U should bo but a few years nt most
vhcn It will he possible to observe the clilm-
icy smoke of n sugar factory continuously
on all our great trnnk railway lines west-
vard from the Missouri river to the Colorado
Ine. This association , through Us ofllccrs ,
s exerting Itself In every way possible In
ho endeavor to secure from three to flvi
actorlcs In time to utillzo the crop ot 1897 ,
vlth fair prospects of success. The crop o !
tils year Is assured and the Grand Island
Mid Norfolk factories are In suc
cessful operation. It has been found
hat this year's product ot beets
shows n larger gain in tonnage 'per acre ,
tercentagn of saccharine matter and purity
linn nny previous yWr , which goes to show
hat our farmers have mastered the In-
rlcacles of seed and cultivation and are
anxious to push sugar beet cultivation to the
Initt. The Grand Island meeting will at-
ord the best possible opportunity ot consid
ering the whole subject and ample oppor-
unity will be afforded all delegates to dc-
talc the Important questions which wll\
come before the meeting. "

cage headquarters to tbo effect { hat the rate

this Is the announcement of the tlmo whei
the old rates will be restored. It has bcci
supposed all along that the advance \voiilc
bo made about the first of the romlnf ,

It Is generally believed that tlio oilier rates
will be restored to the position they occu
pled before the late rate war at the came

Tlio snlo oC n ticket between tills city anil
an Francisco at less than the rnto rcgu-
arly agreed upon by nil roads members of
lie Transcoiitliu'titnl Passenger association
las again occasioned trouble nmong the local
lasscngcr men. For the fifth tlmo within
fortnight a second-class ticket lias been
urchascd from hero to the coast for $39 , or
I less thnn the regular rnto. The route , of
II three tickets has been the fame , namely :
'la the Burlington , the Colorado Midland ,
lie Hlo Grande Western and the Southern
'aciflc roads.
The latest purchase was tnado by a rcpro-
cntatlvo of the Union I'aclflc Thursday
ftcrnoon , when ho bought such a ticket
rom a local broker for $ .19. The broker
md purchased It from the Ilurllngton office
n this city at the regular rate , $40. The
Jnlon Tactile at once filed charges with
Secretary Munn of the local passenger nsso-
latlon against the Ilurllngton. charging that
oad with the violation of rules 7 and 17
f iho loc.nl agreement. Ono of these provl-
lena Is agclnst paying commlMtlons to out *
Ido parties , and the other stipulates that
no passenger agent shall deal with brokers
or In any way old the brokers' business ,
'he- case has been set for trial this morn-
HK at 9 o'clock.
This case Is on exact repetition of ono
hat was up before the "low Joints" two
vecks ago. At that tlmo the Ilurllngtou
vas found guilty of violating the name two
irovlstons , but Chairman Caldwell of the
Trnnscontli't-ntal Passenger association rc-
pMe.l the diclslon , as ho had already ts-
abllshed a precedent In n Kansas City ease.
Thursday Secretary Munn purchased two of
ho same tickets at the rate cf $39 each.
N'o ease can bo brought on the strength of
Ickets found by the secretary In testing the
nnrkct , but the lUirllngtan was called upon
o redeem them at the rate of $10 each.
It Is apparent that the Omaha brokers are
veil stocked with tickets from hero to the
coast. As they nro all of the same route
and arc all now tickets. It Is generally con
ceded that ono of the four roads Is paying
a generous commission to the brokers deal-
ng In the tickets. It Is expected that the
oca ! association will merely develop the
atcst case , and then ask Chairman Cald-
vcll to find out the guilty road and deal
out the proper amount of punishment.

Wheelmen Demand IjeK
The wheelmen of Wisconsin have prepared
a bill which' will bo Introduced In the next
session of the atato legislature making It
unlawful for the roads to make a charge for
the carriage ot wheels. The roads will make
a determined fight against the passage of
the bill. They say that In many cases they
liavo been compelled to add extra baggage
cars to their trains for the purpose of
handling bicycles , and several times last
summer the Milwaukee was compelled to add .
so many buggago cars for the wheels that it
was found necessary to run Its trains In
sections. The matter will bo hard fought on

nothing will settle It finally , tavc a decision
