General Weaver on the Situation

General Weaver on the Situation.
In an interview at Des Moines,
General Weaver, candidate of the
Peoples party said:
The Populists succeeded in the
late eleGtioa fAr beyond their ex-
peotations, and have demonstrate
ed their strength as political
factor in American politics. They
hold the balance of power in 8
large majority Of tho States of the
Union. and will hold the balance OF
power in the United States Senate
This will enable them to act as a
breakwater against vicious legisla-
ton and will equip them to force the
great economic issues to the front.
"The Populists will now commence
vigorous campaign, and will push
the work of organization and eduoa~
ton in every county in the Union.
The party organization is now
national. A conference Of the lead
ers will doubtless soon be held at
some central point for the purpose of
thoroughly marshalling the forces
throughout the country.
THE DEMoGRAOY's PREDIcAMENT.
"The Democratic party goes into
power as the result of violent reac-
ton and without any we'll defined
policy, not even upon the tariff If
the Democratic party carries out its
pledges as to the tariff reduction, it
will be brought face to face with a
Treasury deficit, and as the party is
opposed to levying an income tax to
compensate for the loss from i'm
ports, its campaign pledges have
placed it between the devil and the
deep sea.
There is no relief for the people,
either for wage earners, the day
laborer, or the producer, except
through an adequate increase of our
currency, commensurate with our
present population and volume OF
business, and this increase must
keep pace with the future increase OF
population.
The question as to whether the
currency of the country ahsll be
issued by the Government or by the
banks. either national or State, is OF
tremendous consequence-in fact
will oyershadow ell other issues in
the long run. There is not a single
phase of the money question, con-
corning which the Democratic party
is in accord with public sentiment
neither free coinage, the banking
question, poetal savings banks OIL
any other feature of the great con-
troversy.
cite Democratic party has task
on it's hands which it can never solve
from its standpoint. Not a single
element OF progress will cluster
around the incoming administration
nor will the three great reforms just
mentioned have single resolute
representative in the incoming Cab
met. Friends of the free coinage OF
silver have gained an immense
vantage ground in the late contest
They will not be slow to take ad-
vantage of the power which they
have had placed in their hands"

AN OPEN LETTER.

The Late General Manager of the
 New York and New England Rail.
 road Issues a Document Giving
 Figures and Statements From His
 Last Annual Report Which He
 Claims Were Suppressed by the
 Bostwick.Corbin Directory.
 BOSTON, April 25.-Mr. Charles Howard, late general manager of the New York and New England railroad, has given to the press an open letter in which he gives cer- tain figures and statements from his last annual report which he claims were sup pressed by the Bostwick- Corbin directory. The letter is in reply to charges of mis- management on MT. Towards part. His statements show: That there was deficit of SIPS, ,173 in 1891 as against surplus of $S6, ,S24 in 1890; that the fixed charges in- creased $124. .03S, and that railroad con- struction was embarrassed for want of money; that freight earnings increased 54,613; that the New England rail road was systematically "bled" in the interest of the New England Terminal company, Eastern States line and freight route via Wilson's Point; that there was advanced to the Terminal company $1S,- 925 and in addition $30, 900 was loaned them; that freight revenues were reduced $43, 1925 by the transportation via New England Terminal instead of by the com pany's own route via New York city and Northern and Brewsters; that two freight trains via this route dropped $3,771 and that other losses all along the line were caused by arbitrary orders to run these trains on time, tying up the regular through passenger and freight business of the road; that the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and MT. Howard, be- ing left to his own resources, raised $6O0,- 900 and retired the floating debt. MT. Howard endorses the Providence and Springfield and Pascoag leases, but says the extension of the first named was not completed as he recommended. The oom- pany's accounts were kept in the ordinary way; that coal was purchased by contract approved by the directors and had been bought of one firm for fifteen years; that "Kem Rom" cost $2S, 900, being given six months trial without expense to the com pany and WAS then adopted on recom- mendation of the superintendent of mo- tive power; that it saved coal, consumed smoke and was a good investment for the road. He says that transportation sched- ules were not tangled and concluding says there is hope for the property if General Mellen is allowed to manage it without interference and if present excres- cences arc cut off

 Headlong Upon the Propeller
 Shaft.
 NEW YORK, April 26.-Joseph H. Gray, the engineer of the screw ferryboat Cin- cinnati of the Pennsylvania railroad, was killed this afternoon ss the boat was about entering the slip at the foot of Cortland street, New York. Gray was oiling the machinery just over the crankpin and los ing his balance was pitched headlong upon the propeller shaft and was ground to death. George Bowman, the assistant, saw the accident and stopped the engine. Captain Tuthill, who was at the wheel not knowing the trouble, signalled to back the boat to prevent her rushing with great speed into the slip and toward the bridge. Not having auy response to several rings deck hand was sent to determine the trouble. In the meantime the boat struck the slip glancing blow that threw sev- eral passengers down. When Captain Tuthill had been informed of the accident to the engineer the distress signal was blown. Four tugs promptly responded, and the boat was got out of her dangerous position. It took thirty minutes to remove Gray's remains from the machinery. The head escaped uninjured, but the rest of the body was ground to @ pulp. Gray leaves Q widow and four children.

THE DAVIS MURDER TRIAL.

Examination of Witnesses Com.
 menced-The Mother of the Victim
 on tho Stand-The Case Likely to
 Last Two Weeks-Flfty Witnesses
 Will be Called by the Defense.
 BOSTON, April 26.-In the Deltena Davis murder case to day, the examination of witnesses was begun. Mrs. Davis, the mother of the victim of the tragedy, was the principal witness this forenoon, and testified in detail to the relations between Tena and Trefethen, her alleged mur- derer. Mrs. Davis said she first learned of Tena's condition from Tens herself. Ex-Governor Long, counsel for defense. objected to this testimony being admitted as incapable of corrobation and the objee- tion was sustained.
 At later point in her testimony Mrs. Davis was asked by District Attorney Cooney if Tena stated, on leaving the house on the night of her final disappear ance, where she was going. Governor Long objected and considerable argument followed. The justices reserved decision upon the disputed points. Mrs. Davis said Trefsthen denied having seen the girl af-
  then with having ruined her daughter, and when she asked him what she should say when people asked where she was, he cried and replied: "Say she has gone out, but don't mention my name." He never expressed any doubt that she would return. He came back two or three days after her disappearance and intro duced his brother-in-law, Smith Gone of the defendants, as detective; he had engaged to try and find Tena. Trefethen said 'I better not say anything to the officers about it."
 Officer Tufft testified to seeing a buggy with horse attached standing near Ire fethen's stable on the evening that Tena disappeared, and as he passed he saw Smith standing by it; also saw DOT tion of woman's dress in the buggy. The car riage soon disappeared in the direction of Maiden.
 Matilda A. Davis testified to seeing Tena Davis in the neighborhood of the stable on the same night
 John N. Kelley, an Everett policeman, also testified to seeing the horse and buggy on that night.
 Frank H. Fitzpatrick, a coschman, told of hearing horses footsteps on the We'll ington drawbridge and what sounded to him like 8 woman's scream on the night of Tena's disappearance, and Draw Tender Lshey testified as to the finding of the girls body.
 Adjourned till tomorrow. The trial is likely to last two weeks, and fifty witnesses will be called by the de- fence,

WILLIAM ASTOR.

Tho Father of Mrs. '. Coleman DraY.
 ton, After Worrying Much About
 the Borrove Hair, Dies of Heart ! Disease in Paris-Worth Sixty Mil.
 lion Dollars-A Short Sketch of His Life.
 PARIS, April 26.-William Astor, the New York millionaire, died ct the Hotel Liverpool last night. The cause of death was heart disease.
 Mir. Astor was the father of Mrs. J. Coleman Drayton, who has figured so prominently in the Drayton-Borrowe scan dsl. MT. Astor was terribly worried about the scandal, and his daughters misfortune greatly hastened his death.
 Next to his nephew, William Waldorf Astor, and Jay Gould, MT. Astor was the richest man in America. His fortune ranged between $50, COG, ,0OO and $6O, ,0OO,- 900. This property, to very large e1- tent, consists of real estate in New York city. He was brother of the late John Jacob Astor and son of William B. Astor.
 William Astor, who was born in New York city on July 12, 1880, was the younger son of William Blackmore Astor
 
 Jacob Astor. He was educated at Colum- bia college and was graduated at the head of his class in 1849. Immediately after ward he started on @ tour through the east, which extended over several years.
 In 1858 MT. Astor settled down in New York city and since then has been engaged in looking after the Astor estate, assisting his father at first and later managing his own property. In the same year he mar ried Miss Caroline Schermerhorn. Of his five children one, Emily Van Allen, died in 1881. The other children are Mrs. J. Coleman Drsyton, John Jacob Astor, Mrs. Orme Wilson and Mrs. Roosevelt.
 MT. Astor was not known as e sporting man, but he was fond of yachting and horses. It is said that he spent large sums in charities in an unostentations way, though he has never figured as philan- thropist. Like the rest of the Astors he was an Episcopalian and attended Trinity chapel in West Twenty-ffth street, New York city.
 It had been MT. Astor's custom fer many years to spend the winter abroad. He went to Earope the last time early last fall and was expected to return in a few months.
 MT. Astor had been i'll only few days. The immediate cause of his death was the rupture of an aneurism. The body will be embalmed tomorrow and on Saturday will be placed on board of a steamer which will convey it to New York.
