AS TO WILLTTs. ELECTION
Judge Webb Tells n story at the PopuIist
League Meeting.

Judge W. G. Webb made an address at
the Populist league last night in which
he discussed the election of 1890
He said:-ssI did not think at the time
that Willis was elected, but L am satisfied
now that the whole Populist ticket was
elected and that the Republicans were
seated through fraudulent returns. l
went TO a man who was high in the
councils of the party and asked him if
Willis was not elected He told me
that he was not and that they were only
holding back the returns to get bets so
that they could win back some of the
money they had spent IN the election.
Mai. Hudson of the Capital. had Civ
en- it up, and had written letter ack-
nowledging Republican defeat The ar
ticle put in type, but before the pa
per went to press members Of the state
central committee went to the Capital
Office and had the article suppressed,
saying that they had additional infOrma-
ton which would change the face of
things, and this L am ready to prove"

CARLISLE MAY GO.
He Is to Be Asked 20 Leave the Cablnet
It Is said.

1t Is said.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S-Closely fol-
lowing the fact that the president is very
angry because the secretary of the treas
ury sent letter to congress prUtesting
against the passage Of the popgun tariff
bills in the senate, comes the runor that
Mr.. Carlisle is TO be asked to leave his
place in the cabinet. 1t appears, from
undisputed authority. that Cleveland had
hoped to force through the free coal bill.
He cared for none of the others and in
fact would have remained in favor Of the
tax on sugar, TO fit the understanding Of
the trust, but he had not given up the
fight to get Nova Scotia coal into this
country.
The Carlisle letter which antagonized
him in that matter came to him not only
as a great surprise, but also thwarted
him in one of his own calculations.
Then comes the report that Chairman
Wilson, of the ways and means. is 20 be
made secretary Of the treasury. tbs be-
Iieved by many Of the members Of the
committee that Wilson has been invited
by the president to get ready 70 come
into his ca binet.

vast Deal In Diamonds.

Less than three months ago the en-
tire stock of the company controlling
the output of the world was sold to
London syndicate for S6,25O, 900 the
price per carat being in advance of
that paid at a large sale just previous
to that time. The stock of the COM
pany then advanced several per cent,
and the advance is still maintained.
1t is also untrue that shrewl buyers
can now obtain small stones at bar
gain in the European markets. Tho
market was stripped of well-cut stones
by American buyers last year and the
tendency of prices is now upward, the
fine goods being bought up by Eu-
ropeans as rapidly as the cutters can
turn them ont. There is no immedi-
ate prospect of a decline from present
prices. Joseph Barrnato represented
the London syndicate that purchased
this big stock of diamonds, and deal
ers say that they do not anticipate any
depreciation N the market.
