JONES IS A P0PULlST
Nevada's Senator Creates a
Sensation by Renouncing
Republicanism.
GOES TO THE THIRD PARTY.
Entire Nevada Congressional
Delegation Now Populist
in Belief.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The Evening
Star says: A genuine sensation in po-
litical circles is furnished by the state
ment that Senator John P. Jones of
Nevada, who has represented his state
in the United States senate for over 21
years, has formally renounced his ale
glance to the Republican party and cast
his lot with the Populists. Senator
Jones has written letter to his constit-
uency announcing to the people of that
state that he has doffed the political
garment which he has worn with such
distinction for SO many years and will
don the garb of the third party. Sena-
tor Jones left Washington during the
day for New York. His bolt makes the
Nevada congressional delegation solidly
Populist, Senator Stewart having left
the Republican party some time ago and
Representative Newlands having been
elected as a Silverite.
Jones Interviewed.
Senator Jones arrived in this city
during the evening, and was inter-
viewed by a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press. In response to remark
that the change in his politics had oc-
casioned great surprise, the senator said
he had not changed. The views that
he advocated now were the same that
he had been upholding in congress
since he first entered that body. He
regarded, and his constituents regarded,
the money question as being Of greater
Importance than the tariff or any other
matter the late congress had acted upon.
The senator dwelt at some length on
the Importance Of fixing standard Of
money.
If were asked,'' he said, s'to define
in a word the cause of such depres-
sion should say it might be laid at the
door of falling prices
''The Populist party was growing in
the West for the reason that it was evi-
dent that the two d parties had out
lived their usefulness. Parties, like
men, have their periods of usefulness
and periods of senilty."

Estimated as dead in the woods

About fifty men are busy with
picks and shovels digging trenches for
the dead and covering them up as the
naked bodies or those in boxes are de.
pcsited.
The third trench was begun Tuesday.
The first one, dug Monday, had been
filled to the length of 80 feet with bod
les placed crosswise. The second
trench is the one containing the un.-
known dead that are not placed in
boxes or caskets. This one
Contains Nearly Sixty Bodies
that are packed in the trench beginning
at the north end, and are covered with
the earth dug from the extension
trench. In several places hands and
feet protrude out of the thin covering
of earth. The trench will be extended
as other additions to the number are
made. The third trench was packed
with boxes placed alongside of each
other. A fourth trench was begun
Tuesday afternoon, and still others will
be needed for the many boxes and cof-
fins that are waiting to be placed under
ground.

ANOTHER COLORADO FIGHT.
Business Not Easily Done in the People
Party Convention.


Business Not Easily Done in the People's
Party Convention.
PUEBLO, Colo, Sept. t.6.-Pandemonium
broke loose at the Populist state conven-
tion when it was called to order.
The majority report Of the committee
on credentials favored the seating of
the Waite delegates from Denver, and
the Barela delegates from Las Animas
county, indicating that Waite and Bar
ella have reached an understanding, and
that Senator Barela, who has been
already nominated for state treasurer
by the Democrats, will also receive the
Populist nomination f. that office.
Thomas NJ. Patterso.., leader of the
opposition to Waite appeared on the
stage and endeavored to speak.
The convention refused to hear him.
A motion was carried allowing Mr..
Patterson five minutes to address the
convention.
Mr.. Patterson said he was hissed out
of the Populist convention as he was
hoWled down in the last national Dem
ocratic convention when he was making
a fight for silver.
Nothing he could say in five minutes,
he said, would make any impression
upon the delegates and he would there
fore simply enter the protest of the
minority.
Ed Holden, anti Waite, attempted to
speak but was howled down.
Thereupon the Patterson delegation
from Denver left the hall, followed by
about dozen other delegates.

the letter is here given:
I, Grover Cleveland, President of the

wishes for your own personal prosperity.
Written at Washington on the 7th day

Mr.. M1NIsTER-Iti is with sincere graft.
dcation that have received the informa.
tlon that the president of the United
States has confirmed the recognition SO
promptly extended by your excellency to
the republic of Hawaii.
Permit me on behalf of the Hawaiian

ment expressed by you toward this gov
eminent, and assure you of our desire that
relations of comfy and of commercial
intercourses which shall be mutual and
advantageous may ever exist between the
two countries
Trouble Brewing for the Government.
The confirmation of the reported
recognition has taken the wind out of
Of the Royalists' sails, and the most
rabid of them acknowledge the cause Of
the ex-queen is now dead.
Slight trouble seems to be brewing in
the government camp, in spite of the
recognition news.
The Schutzen club, an organization
formed Of all nationalities, has sent a
set of resolutions to the government
announcing that if some of their men,
bers are not given government positions
at once, the club as a body will with
draw it's support from the powers that
be.
No answer has been given.

What the St. Cloud Relief Party Found
There.
ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Sept. 6.-The re.
lief train sent to Pokegama with Cal
load of provisions for distribution
among the fire sufferers has returned.
Alderman John Deleo, who was one OF
q committee from the city council ac.
companying the train, says they found
the utmost destitution and everything
is badly needed. There is not a ham.
mer, axe or any other tool or implement
to be found with which to provide any.
thing in the shape Of temporary build.
ings. Clothing is also badly needed, as
none Of the sufferers have saved any.
thing except what they wore at the
time OF the fire, and in many instances
these clothes are badly scorched.
An additional car load of supplies,
consisting Of provisions, clothing and
other necessaries, is now ready in the
Great Northern yards for shipment tc
Pokegama. The car is consigned to DR..
Kelsey, who will superintend the dis
tribution. Alderman G.. w. Stewart,

DENVER, Colo, Sept. 6.-The national
irrigation congress is down to hard
work.
The state irrigation commission pre-.
sented important reports dealing with
the question of national irrigation
policy and also with local laws which it
is hoped may be made common to all
the states.
There is strong sentiment among
the delegates in favor of having the
national policy expressed in the form of
bill, to be presented to the national
congress.
This would be preferable to leaving
it to any individual to formulate here
after on the ground that if the results
Of the congress are embodied in clear
cut measure, the people can support it
with the knowledge Of just what they
are favoring, and political meetings and
conventions will have no difficulty in
understanding the proposition.
Favors National Control of the Work.
Representative Sweet of Idaho is a
member of the the national irrigation
committee. He says irrigation work
should be done by the national govern
ment, and not be allowed to pass under
state control.
Mr.. Sweet also says the proposed plan
of turning arid lands over to the states
is impracticable and would start sys-
tenn of landlordism that America should
never have.
Provision has been made for survey
ing the arid lands, and no doubt con-
gress will provide funds for reclaiming
all such lands.
Representative Sweet believes so, at
any rate.
