Talk OF Caiting All Of siiver's Friends
Into One Big Party.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-There 10 move
ment on foot among the populists and
free silver men to join forces for the next
presidential campaign. To this end it is
proposed that the populists shall hold
their organization in abeyance, together
with their doctrines as to the government
ownership of railroads, bond loan policy,
and tho issuing of paper money, which the
silver men. as q body, have never en-
braced, and under some such name as the
national party make united pull for tho
presidency and free silver in 1896. A
rumor to this effec, reached hero from
Kansas, and Il is said, w. r. Rightmeyer
of Topeka, who was instrumental in CALI
ing the Cincinnati conference in 1891,
when the populist party was formed, had
taken the initiative in the movement for
tho reorganization Of tho party on lines
which would command the allegiance of
the silver mon.
Senator PETER, when seen by an as
sociated press reporter, admitted that the
report was true as outlined above. He
said he was not in favor of making now
alignment until after the congression al
election next year, when tho new party
would get ready for tho presidential cleo
tion of 1896, and expressed the utmost
confidence IN it's ability to carry tho
country. In the new organization the
populist party would have the same rela-
ton as the free soil and aboiitionists
parties to the republican party. In the
new party the paramount question would
bc one Of money. The question now is be-
tween the money power on gold basis,
and the producing masses, advocating q
gold, silver and paper basis. On that
people would join in 1896, regardless of
former party affiliations. This was the
first step and the populists recognized it as
good craftsmanship TO lay aside their
other tenets for time in order TO get the
help Of the silver democrats and republi-
cans in settling this great question on
which they agreed.
While fighting this battle many preju.
lices would be swept away and when il
was won, there would be q solid mass OF
voters for the accomplishment OF other
needed reforms. He looked, he said, for
success in 1886, and the election of n con.
gress in 1900 which would put on tho
statute books the leading doctrines Of the
populists OF to-day. So far there had been
no interchange OF Vows with the silver
men of either OF the old parties, and hc
did not favor any till after tho next con-
gressional elections; though some popu.
lists wanted reorganization in 1884.

troIler General. He saw at once that success
was impossible, and that money was being
squandered recklessly Upon men whose princi-
pal aim was to get as much as possible without
doing the work which they had agreed to do.
Etienne Martin, once Chief Secretary of the
Canal Company, described with gusto his
experiences while in Office and the scorn he
felt at the methods of the directors. The I'M
vanished corruptness of the contract system,
he said, often rendered him so indignant that
he protested to the Board at their meetings
against the scandalous abuses with which the
whole canal work was honeycombed.
Eventually he resigned rather than sign con-
tracts for machinery and supplies with French
firms whose bids, taken together, were 2S ,O00,-
300 francs higher than the bids of English and
Dutch firms,

Charles de Lesseps admitted that two checks,

Charles de Lesseps was recalled to testify as
to the bonds payable to bearer issued by the
Panama Canal Company. He was white and
haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and he spoke
apparently with difficulty, as he kesitated re-
peatedly and often sank his voice so that onl!
persons within few yards could hear hi
testimony.
He explained that Of some 100000 francs In

More awkward in his kindliness than
in his simple business condolences, but
apparently equally earnest in both he
shook Courtland's hand and walked
away. CORTLAND turned towards the
house. He had seen the farm and its
improvements; he had found some of
his own ideas practically discounted;
clearly there was nothing left for him
to do but to thank his hostess and take
his leave. But he felt far more uneasy
than when he had arrived; and there was
singular sense of incompleteness in his
visit that he could not entirely account
for. His conversation with Champney
had complicated-he knew not why
his previous theories of Miss Bows, and
although he was half conscious that
this had nothing to do with the bust
ness that brought him there, he tried to
think that it had. If Miss Sally was
really -a-a-distractin element to
contiguous masculinity, it was some
thing to be considered in matter OF
business of which she would take a
managerial part. 1t was true that
Champney had said that she was mot

testimony of one who was clearly under
her influence. He entered the house

THE cHEsTERToWN EXECUTION.

Four of DIR. Hills Murderers Pay the
Penalty of Their Crime.
CHEsTERTowN, Md, Jan. 14.-Business
in this little town was almost wholly
suspended yesterday. TIE streets were
almost entirely deserted, except by the
posse summoned couple of days ago by
Sheriff Plummer. These guards in twos,
and threes armed with guns, rifles and pis-
tolls, patrolled the streets nearly all night
long and until the execution of the four
negroes took place.
The day dawned clear and cloudless
The Rev. A. A. Murray began his religious
attentions to the prisoners at Z o'clock.
He called separately upon Brooks,
Comegys, Williams and Brown to pray.
Between each prayer hymn was sung.
Comegys' prayer was the most affecting
of all. 1t was an agonized cry for help
and succor, delivered in the peculiar sing
song information of the plantation negro,
and it's burden was: 80 Jesus, save my
SOUL"
A hearty breakfast was served to the
prisoners. They apparently relished and
enjoyed their last meal on earth.
Shortly after II o'clock Sheriff Plum
mer began the first preparation for the
execution. The members of the posse
who were inside the Jail, the reporters
crowded into the corridor, where they
were admonished by the sheriff to get
ready.
Waterman Storks opened the four
| doors and two deputies went into each
cell and handcuffed and pinioned its occu-
pant.
The sheriff ordered the crowd in the
corridor to stand back and the short
march to the scaffold co mmenced.
Brooks led with Comegys next, followed
| by Williams and Moses Brown.
The sheriff was waiting on the scaffold
| for the men and he silently motioned
zach of them to his position.
The heavy, awkward looking cotton
| nooses with their tremendous hangman's
| knots were soon arranged about the necks
| of the four men after the black caps had
been placed over their faces, and their
legs bound at the ankles.
| The sheriff took a last look at the beam,
| the ropes, the traps and finally at the men
| themselves. The people waiting in the
| yard below could see nothing, so effective
1 ly was the gallows boarded up.
| They heard the creaking OF the traps,
| how ever and waited with bated breath
/ for the noise of the lever.
In a minute it came. At II 80 o'clock
the bar controlling the triggers slipped
| easily along the CREASED surface.
There was a crash as the eight battened
| trap doors fell to the ground, and four
black bodies shot through the holes.
| Four of the murderers of DR.. Hill had
| expatiated their crime on the gallows.

MORE DEPUTIES INCRIMlNATED.

Evidence Discovered y %iinst Twelve
Members of the Chamber.
LONDON, Jan. 14.-The Paris CORES
pondent of the Daily News telegraphs
IN. Franqueville has acquired fresh
evidence, betraying twelve deputies, four
of whom are Boulangists The incrimi-
mating entries on the counterfoils of the
checks are in NJ. Arton's handwriting,
together with the amounts fingered.
They do not afford legal proof of guilty
but will oblige the deputies to submit to
examination and probably will lead to
stronger testimony. A search has been
ordered among the photographers whom
Arton ordered to photograph the Panama
papers.
Mr.. Perivier states that the trial of the
directors ought to have been a civil one.
That would have been impossible, since
NJ. Brunei, the original liqudator of the
company gave NJ. Eiifel and others a re-
lease from their civil responsibilities.
