News of the Storm.

PARIS, October 1.-The Debats
has a dispatch from San Do
mingo stating that half of that
town was destroyed by the re-
cent cyclone.
HAVANA, Oct. 1.-The terrific
storm which ragged throughout
the island Of Cuba from early IN
the evening of September 23d
until the following night de-
stroyed forty-seven houses on
Santa Cruise Del Bur. A pier
there was also wrecked,
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. Cap
tain Halsey and his crew and the
passengers of the steamship
Knickerbocker had a thrilling
experience in the storm of last
week, and the vessel arrived this
morning at her pier very much
battered and with two of her
crow missing. The Knickerbocker
steamed away from New York
on last Saturday evening and
had good weather until Tuesday.
That evening she encountered
a tremendous storm and for
thirty-six hours was at the
mercy of one of the worst gales
that her officers have ever ex-
Derienced. AS soon as the hur-
ricane struck the vessel the pas
sengers were ordered below and
Capt. Halsey made every prep
aration to ride out the gale if
possible. On Wednesday, while
the sea was washing furiously
over the Knickerbocker, a big
wave carried away her mainmast
and her bulWarks were stove in.
The crew were set to work at
once to clear away wreckage and
while performing that task and
holding on to the life-lines for
safety a tremendous mountain of
water struck the ship and car
ried into the sea Second Officer
|O'Neill and Seaman Hansen.
Nothing more was seen of the
two men. The gale subsidized
on Thursday morning and then
the damage was repaired and
the Knickerbocker, which had
been blown out Of her course
and considerably delayed, pro
ceedcd again on her journey.
She reached the mouth Of the
river two days overdue and there
was fear as to her safety here
and in New York. The vessel
had about forty passengers,
about fifteen of whom We're

THEIR STATEMENTS VARY.
Butler and Holton Are Here, but
Their Stories as to their Purposes

Butler and Holton Are Here, but
Their Stories as tt their Purposes
do not Agree.
Another link was added to the
fusion chain yesterday, when
Marion Butler, Chairman of the
Peoples Party State Executive
Committee, and A. E. Holton,
Chairman of the Republican State
Committee, met in conference at
the Park Hotel.
Nh. Holton spent the day here,
and went to see Chairman Pou
and Secretary of State Coke in
reference to the forms for returns
sent out by the latter. 1t seems
that there is nothing on the blank
to indicate which Judge is being
voted for for the different terms.
Mr.. Holton insist on having this
done, and says that the canvass
ing board will have no right to
name a choice between the judges
elected if it is not done.
Mr.. Butler arrived on the 4
o'clock train and spent the earlv
part Of the night in conference
with Messrs. nolton, Ohio Wilson
and others.
When a reporter called at Mr..
Buffers room at half past eleven
o'clock he found him in earnest
conversation with Judge Whit
aker, and he declared that his
visit here was on business and ut
terly without political signifi-
canoe. He said that he did not
have an appointment with Mr..
Holton, but that he was just pass
ing through the city and would
| go west this morning. He added
that the fusion movement was
succeeding beyond his most SAN
guine expectations and that
further than that he had nothing
to say.
Mr.. Holton, however, was Oc-
cupying an adjoining room and
told quite a different story. He
was in his shirt sleeves and was
lying at full length on his bed
talking to J. A. Ramsey, of the
PROGRESSIVE Farmer, and S. Ohio
Wilson. He declared that he had
nothing to say about State poll
tics, but that he Didn't mind say
ing that he and Mr.. Butler were
here in conference by appoint
ment and that the appointment
had been made by himself. He
added, however, that the result
of the conference would not be
made public.
Yes" said Mr.. Holton in reply
to a question as to who his secre-
tary would be though the official
appointment has not yet been
made. My secretary will lie Col.
w. Fl. Martin, Of Raleigh. Tyre
Glenn could not serve on account
of his business. [ have indicated
my choice Of Col. Martin to the
committee, and they will appoint
him.
you may also say, he con
tinued. that there will be at an
early date a joint meeting of the
State Committees of the Popu-
lists and Republicans to look after
the interests of the fusion move
ment."
When asked about q joint can
vass between the county candi-
dates, Ohio Wilson, who was il
Mr.. Holton's room, said he
couldn't tell yet whether there
would be a joint canvass OF not,
it depended very much on what
kind of poll-holders the Commits
sioners had appointed .-Roleig7

What Populism Means.
Webster's Weekly.

No man, who is not blinded by
prejudice, can fail to see that
Populism has in it the germs Of
strife and disaster. Wherever it
has obtained foothold, strife and
disorder have resulted. Kansas.
Oregon and other Populist States
have been brought to the verge
of ruin and bankruptcy by it.
The only safe course for our PEG
pie is to stand together against
all evils. A good beginning has
been made towards reducing the
burdens that Cypress the people,
and the work will be carried on
from the vantage ground gained.
Let us remember that patience IS
as necessary as courage, and we
have everything to gain by
pressing forward.
How can sensible farmers fell
iowship with such cranks and i'm
practicables as the Western
Popoulist?
But some of our Populist
friends will say that their party
in this State does not endorse
these wild measures. They are
mistaken. Not only does the
platform reaffirm the Populist
creed in all its fullness, but it
glories in the record made by the
Populists in Congress. We quote
from section II of the platform:
I'm striking contrast to the
above we point with pride to the
clean records made by our little
band Of Peoples party Senators
and Congressman. Always at the
post of duty never arrested to
make q quorum, unselffish, fear
less, incorruptible, like true
ISpartans, they haYe stood by
their pledges to a man."
Read to above again. How
could a heartier endorsement
have been framed?

WAHs1NGroN, Aug. 22,-Ihe bill rat
living the Nez Perez Indian treaty ana
providing for the opening OF the reser-
walton which passed the conference COM
mittee of the two houses of congress
some days ago has row become law.
The bill carries with it an approprla-
ton of 81 ,G26,222 Of which $G26,222 Is
to be paid as soon as the department
can arrange the necessary deteils. This
work according to Representative Sweet

partmeut officials, is progressing rapidly.
The division on accounts is preparing a
list Of those entitled to payments under

land will be sold at 1918 per acre, MN
eral, stone and timber land at $500 per
acre.
The Nez Porce reservation lying
south Of Latah county, Idaho, and be-
tween the Sn Ike river on the west and
the south fork Of the Clearwater river on
the east, comprises about 100000 acres
of the finest agricultur, ], timber and
mineral lands iu the northwest

point of view of productivity are lot
surpassed by the famous lands Of the
Palouse. The treaty entered into with

WASHINGTON, Au+. 2l.-A strong re.
port favonng rigid exclusion and de-
portation Of alien anarchists has been
made by the committee on judiciary.
The report SAYS: at is admitted on all
hands that the question is one Of very
great Importance and Legislation on the
subject is called for by every cOnsidara-
ton Of public .afety The committee
advises that owing to the severe legisla-
ton recently adopted by France and
Italy a great many dangerous anarchists
are making their way to the United
States, and, as under the existing laws,
they cannot be denied admission to our
territory. The United States viii soon
be rendezvous Of the human monsters
unless the proposed Legislation is speed
lily adopted" The report lakes up the
various objections made to the proposed
measures and disposas Of each of them.
Concerning the objection that the bill
is faulty in not defining anarchy, the re
port saws: AS the meaning Of the word
is defined as "abseuce of government a
state of society whore there is no law or
supreme powe, state Of Law lessness
political confusion,' its meaning will
not be considered necessary TO encnm-
Der the acl with special definition.
The committae meets the objection that
"a person should noy be charged with
anarchy and deportad wilbou, a jury
trial, by saying;
at would hardly be contended, we
suppose that the government ought to
maintain a jury at every port of entry
tor the purpose of passing upon the
qualifications Of immigrants who desire
to enter. and as am immigrant who has
been permitted to enter acquires no
rights not possessed bv a foreigner who
desires to enter, we are unable to per-
ca1ye upon what principle q jury trial j.
insisted upon in order to deport an alien
whose residence ia this country is con
siderad detrimental TO the public vel
fare" III conclusion the report states
that there is full executive power for the
enactment OF the proposed law and there
is urgent necessity for tine immediate

Hard UP for Something to sax.

The democrats held meeting at the
Evans Quarry last night and Fred
Schuler with other good republicans
were there to hear what they had to
say. Fred informs us that Applegate
in the course of his speech, for want of
something else to say, compared John
Burke, the republican candidate for
county treasurer, to certain long
cared animal. 1t made Fred hot. and
he wants us to say that he has bill of
s176 against democratic candidate,
which he will put up against 81 that
Mr.. Burke has not used one disrepect-
full word against any democratic candi-
date now running for office and he, with
all others, is thoroughly disgusted with
such unreasonable excuses for argu-
ment or charges against the republican
candidates.

Travelling Mcn,s Home.

A meeting of the travelling men of
the northwest was held at Chadron a
few days ago when an organization was
perfected for the purpose of interesting
other commercial men and the public
at large in the project of building a
home for disabled and infirm travelling
men west of the Mississippi. They
hope to erect home somewhere in the
middle west where old timers can spend
their remaining days free from care.
They expect to pattern after the nation
al institution in New York.
After discussing the matter in all its
phases and electing the follwing officers
the meeting adjourned to meet in
Omaha December o, 1894. Jud Grant,
of Deadwood, chairman; G. E. Green, of
Norfolk, secretary. A committee of
three .rasappointed to preparea circu-
lar letter to the various travelling men
and associations of the west regarding
the project. Representatives were in
attendance from Chicago, Omaha, Nor
folk, Council Bluffs, and other places.
1t is very probable that these knights
of the grip will favor Hot Springs for
the location of such a home as they
have under consideration, and truly
they could not find more pleasing
place.
