The leaders of the new National par
ty'' held business meeting at Pittsburg
one day this week. The chief business
transacted was the figuring out that there
are 100000 prohibition voters in the dem
ocratic party, as many more in the re-
publican party, and 100000 in the popu-
list party, who could possibly be induced
to join the new organization, and provid-
ing for the raising of fund of So, 500.
with which to effect their change of af-
filiation. The new party evidently places
too low valuation on fioaters.

Where the Battle WIN Be Fought.

The republicans expect that the real
battle over the Wilson bill will be fought
in the Senate. They say they do not ex-
pect to make much of a stand in the
House against the bill because the House
is overwhelmingly democratic, and it has
rules by which debate can be cut off and
the bill brought to vote.
The situation in the Senate is different.
The democratic majority is small and
there are no rules for limiting debate
The republicans think, also, that
there are a few democratic SEN
ators who, urged by some of
their constituents, are inclined to
oppose certain features of the Wilson
bill. They may be mistaken if they are
depending upon democratic senators to
assist them in defeating the bill No doubt
there are few democratic senator's who
object to portions of the bill, but if they
cannot have those portions changed, they
will vote for the bill. 1t is doubtful if
there is democratic senator who would
help to defeat it. 1t makes little differ
ence, therefore, what efforts the republi-
cans make to kill the bill in the Senate,
or how many petitions against it are sent
to the Senate, it will be passed Its pass
age may be greatly delayed, and it may
be amended in some particulars, but there
is as yet no reason for supposing there is
any danger of it being defeated.
The republicans had the Mckinley bill
passed when the situation in congress was
not so favorable for that bill as it is for the
Wilson bill now. 1t would, therefore, be a
pretty severe criticism on the democrats
if they should show themselves less
shrewd and capable than the republicans
were when the Mckinley bill was passed.
The democrats, however, are not going
to fail. They understand fully the diff
culties that are to be encountered and are
prepared to overcome them. Senator Voor-
hees being chairman of the finance COM
mittee, will have charge of the bill, and he
talks about putting the bill through
the Senate in short order.
He will allow a reasonable time for de-
bate and then he will demand that vote
be taken, and it is probable that his de-
mand will be complied with. Dilatory
tactics if resorted to will accomplish
nothing substantial. The passage of the
bill is on the democratic programme and
the programme will be carried out.

A TELL TALE LETTER

Which Corroborntes tho Story of ARM
strong ImpticatinG au Attorney la
Hedgepeth's Attempt to Escape.
ST. LOUIS, No., Nov. 2l.-In connec.
ton with the affidavit OF Jail
Guard Armstrong, duplicating Attorney
Jeptha D. Howe, in the attempted
escape from jail OF Marion Hedge
peth, the notorious express robber,
and the vigorous denial Of that state
ment by Howe, Chief OF Police Harri-
gan to-day made public letter written
by Hedgpeth while in jail, corroborating
the statement OF Armstrong.
The chief stated that after Hedgpeth's
fret attempt to escape, he had prom
ised, II he behaved himself, to inter:
cede with the express company officials
to secure him lenient sentence. Hedg-
peth, no said. promised faithfully not
to make another attempt at escape.
Shortly after this promise was made
a key was found in Hedgpeth's eel, and
the chief, supposing the prisoner had
broken faith with him, called all nego-
tiations of, and also forbade the jailer
allowing Mrs. Hedgpeth access to her
husbands presence.
A week or so after the order was en-
forced, Chiet Harrigan met Mrs. Hedg.
peth in the Four Courts corridor with q
letter In her hrnd, He took the letter
from her. against her protest, and read
its contents. The letter was addressed to
herself and in 1t the husband begged his
wife not to lose faith In the promise he
had given her to behave himself
and make no attempt to escape,
while the chief was interceding for
him. He told her, in the letter,
that the key which had been found in
his cell had been furnished him long
before by Jeptha Howe, who told him
to keep it and to be prepared to embrace
the first opportunity offered for escape.

tiOnal character Sheriff A. ]. Nc
Carver, father Of "Buteh" Carver, the
infdel witness, was put on the stand
this morning.
Counsel for the defense objected to 3
question asked, whereupon General
Peters arose and addressed the court.
He accused Sheriff McCArver Of being
in sympathy with tho prisoners and
thwArting every effort OF the state TO
secure conviction. He Accused him
OF suppressinG from the grand jury his
some knowledge OF acts pertaining 70
the lynchinG; Of providing the accused
every facility for defense by driving
them over the country and by going 10
their homes and placing the prisoners
In communication with characters
whose services might be useful on the
trial. The sheriff listened TO this ar
raignment speechless aud open mouthed
and skunk out Of the court room after It
was over.
Butch" McCarver was placed on the
stand. He related how, q few days be.
fore the killing. no had been invited
by Smith aud Jim Sisley to take part
in the killing. Smith told him then, hs
SAYS, that Richardson was employed 70
mako the arrests and that they wanted
McCarver to help Richardson at that
part OF the work. 1t was McCaryer's
effort to intimate that Richardson was
to make the arrest in good faith. Nc
Carver was then to have gone to Smiths
house, near Kentville, on the morning
before the killing. A body Of men was
to meet Richardson that night as he
came toward Memphis, oyerpower him
aud kill his captive negroes. All these
facts were axtricated from McCarver
with the greatest difficulty. and many
other statements OF a material charac-
ter that he made to the grand jury he
would not repeat to-day. saying that he
had forgotten.

wAsmseTos. D. O., Nov. 2l.-Mr.
John W. Gof, the prosecuting attorney
Of the Lexow investigating committee,
who Is stoppingin Washington forafew
days, has given the Evening Star an in
.srestiug interview Of nearly three col
umns on the work Of the committee.
ut was, rs you may imagine" he
said, "a tremendous task that confront
ed % when We started the investigation.
We knew positively that the police de-
psrtment of New York, most magnia-
cent organisation as regards Its own
strength, was systematically black
mailing all classes Of citizens.
"You may be surprised when I say
that New York, under the rule OF the
police department as 1t was controlled
BY Tammany hall, was far worse as re-
eards the individual comfort Of citizens
than ST. Petersburg under Its most
violent police regime. This was acci-
dentally illustrated by a witness who
took the stand one day. He was Pole
who had been sent to Siberia as result
Of the Polish insurrection. He had
escaped and reached this country and
about year after his arrival he was un-
Justly arrested and cruelty beaten.
When he was asked how the police OF
New York compared with those OF St.
Petersburg, he answered that the Rus
sian police are gentle and humane COM
pared with those OF our city.
"The lower classes OF citizens were
made to believe that blackmail was
lawful and regular. They came to con-
slider the captain Of their precinct as
tho source OF all municipal authority.
In effect, he was such to them.
"You ask me if think this power 10
now crushed. do most emphaticaily.
/ think that the public conscience hav-
ing been once aroused, the machinery
OF this napseous system exposed will be
perpetual bar against the development
Of such an organization in the future.
n cannot answer that question as to
where the biackmaiiing money went or
In what proportions 1t was distributed,
for that is q personal matter, which
would force me to mention names. Nor
can tell you Just what lines the COM
mi.tee will take upon the resumption
Of its work a week from next Monday.
There are still many points to investi-
gate and great deal Of rounding up

cannot say. We will try to finish the
work by the frat OF January"
