HUTCHINs-DAvIs DEBATE.
Much Interest in Next Friday Nights
Contest.

The public interest in the approaching
debate on the financial question now con-
fronting the country between Mr. Stilson
Hutchins and Mr.. Henry E. Davis, which
will take place at Convention Hall Friday
evening, is steadily increasing, and among
those who take an active political position
IN the campaign the event seems to over
shadow every other passing consideration.
Both gentlemen are almost universally
known in this city, and the adherents CT
each are emphatic in the expression of the
opinion that their particular favorite will
get the best of the argument in the dis
cussion. The demand for tickets of admis-
SION to Convention Hall is almost as great
as was that for cards to the Bryan meet
ing held here some time ago, and both
principals and the gentlemen representing
them are deluged with applications for The
coveted pasteboards Mr.. Lawrence Gard
ner has charge of the distributing of the
tickets on behalf of Mr.. Hutchns, while
Mr.. c. V. Gates is doing the same service
for Mr.. Davis, and probably the largest
audience ever assembled at an indoor po-
ntical meeting in the national capital will
test the capacity of Convention Hall Fri
day night
Senator Charles J. Faulkner the chair
man of the democratic congressional COM
mittee, will preside, and the official stenog-
raphers will be Mr.. Robert Boswell and
Mr.. Hunter Calf. The debate will begin
at o'clock and will be opened by Mr..
Hutchins, who will devote fifty-ive min
utes to presentation of his views on the
all-important topic under consideration.
Mr.. DAVIS will follow and occupy similar
period in upholding his side of the argu-
ment. Then Mr.. Hutchins will devote twen-
ty minutes to q closing argument, and Mr..
Davis will do the same The debate will
thus occupy two and one-half hours, equal
ly divided between the principals.

Was Veteran.
Capt Simon O'Kane was a member of
the 18th Wisconsin Volunteers and was
about tifty-five years old He had been in
the soldiers homes at Milwaukee and Ma
rion, Ind, practicing at both places as
claim agent. About a month ago he came
here from New York, having taken his dis
charge from the Indiana home. On his way
here he stopped a short tiIne in Phiiadet-
phia When he reached here he was with
out funds. Then he made application Ior
admission to one of the branches of the
national home for volunteer soldiers, pre-
terring Hampton.
He was cared for temporarily at the
Temporary home on Missouri avenue. Fur
ther than this Captain Campbell, who Is
agent for the home in this city, knows
nothing about him. 1t is thought that
the news he got about his chances OF get
ting in the Hampton Home at an early
date was not very encouraging, and for
this reason he ended his life.

OFFERS TO POPULIsTs.
Democrats Trying to- Eject Fusion on
the State Ticket.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
RALEf GH, y. C, October 13.-The demo-
cratic campaign committee has made
proposition 10 the populist state chairman
to fuse or the state ticket The PROPOSE
ton is that the populists shall take lieu
tenant governor, secretary of state, treas
urer and associate justice of the supreme
court. 1t is part of the proposition that w.
A. Guthrie, now populist nominee for gov
ernor. shall be joint candidate for lieuten-
ant governor and the democrats pledge
themselves TO support him for United
States Senate. The proposition also asks
for division of the congressman, so that
the populists may take those from the first,
third, fourth and seventh districts. This is
one less Congressman than the republicans
have contracted to give the populists.
The populist state chairman has called
the state committee to meet here Wednes-
day. AS soon as Populist State Chair
man Aver read the democratic committees
proposition for complete fusion, he said:
THAT is an extraordinarily liberal propo-
sition from their standpoint But you say
from me that it will not be accepted"

POPULISTS IN CONFERENCE
Meeting of the National Executive Commit

Chairman Butler Expresses Himself
Hopefully-s"ys Brsan:~ Rapidly
.,,..,-. Gaining in Ohio.

CHICAGO, October 13.-A meeting of the
pOpulist national executive committee was
held at the Sherman House today to con-
slider the question Of fusion in Kansas
and Colorado, over which considerable fric-
ton has arisen It is probable that action
will be taken looking toward the displace-
ment Of some of the democratic electors in
the states named and putting popuist cleo
tors in their places.
The meeting was held behind closed
doors, the committee going into executive
session at IL 30 am.
Chairman Butler sent out word about
1890 pm. that the committee would prob
ably remain in session until some time this
evening.
All of the members of the national exec
utive committee were present, with the eX-
ception of Secretary L., u. Stone of the
national committee and Chairman Dorr of
California.
Senator Butler; chairman of the national
pOpulist committee, when asked If Mr.
Watson would come out inSa letter cppoS-
ing the fusion arrangement made in the
pected.
I'VE are all milling TO defeat MCKINLEY >,
said MIR. Butler, ''and while there is some
friction over the division of the electors in
several of the states. no action will be
taken that will in the least jeopardfze the
chances of our ticket. This will be dis
cussed today, and i am sure will be .d-
justed amicably. You can state authori-
tatively that Mr.. Watson will remain on
the ticket. No thought of his resignation
is entertained by us
Brynn's Chances Improving.
What do you think of the political out
look?" was asked.
'Bryan's chances are improving every
day. There has been a perceptibIe change
in the last two weeks. One of the strong
est factors in the republican campaign un-
til recently is now its greatest weakness,
and that is the prodigal use of money.
There is a revolt among the workingmen,
especially against the apparent use of
money by the republicans. 1t would have
been far more effective If they had de-
pended more Oh the live issues OF the cam
palgn. AS 1t is now, the money that Mr.
Hanna Is using is the. party.s greatest
weakness"
Illinois DoubtfuI. t.----
What do you think OF the situation in
Illinois,
Illinois is doubtful. Bryan, however
can be elected without Illinois, Michigan
Minnesota or Iowa. Ohio is trembling in
the balance. The reaction in that state In
favor Of free silver is simply tremendous
and 1t is an even money bet that the state
will go for Bryan. If our treasury would
permit 1t we would flood it with speakers
IL the sentiment continues to grow In our
favor in that state at the rate it is now
growing there is no doubt that the state
will go for Bryan, and by large majority

on THE VERGE OF A DUEL.
Kentucky Politicians Quarrel Over q
Nomination.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, October l3-A spe-
cial to the Times Star from Lexington, KY,
says.
1t is stated here today. on what seems
to be reliable information. that State Sem
ator Charles J. Bronston and John d. Car
roll are on the verge of duel The trou-
BILE grew out of the late Frar kfort con-
vention, when Carroll caused Bror ston's
defeat by throwing his strength to Evan
E. Settle of owen county. 1t seems that
Bronston had counted IN Carroll to nomi-
nate him, and was mad when his oppo-
nent was benefited by the Withdrawal OF
the Henry county man.
The report says that Bronston cursed
Carroll roundly and that Carroll cooly told
him to think over the matter. and apollo
gize for his remarks. Bronston proposed
to settle then in personal encounter, but
Carroll refused and told him that he
should have time in which to take back
his Objectionable language.
Letters have passed between them, but
ii is stated by those close to Bror ston that
he does not intend to -stract what he said,
and they sec no way out of the trouble
except in accordance with the code adopt
ed in settling such grievances. Both are
brave men, and if the field is rosorted to
as the only way of settling the matter, II
is believed each will face his foe gamely.

George Mathews Took Advantage Of
the Jailer's Negligence.
CHARGED With JAS. IRWIN'S MURDER
Organization of a Pursuing Party
by the Sheriff.
REWARD FOR RECAPTCRE

Special Dispatch The Evening Star.
LA PLATA. MI, October l3.-George
Mathews, who was held in Jail here await
ing trial for the murder of James j. Irwin
at Aliens Fresh in August, escaped from
Jail this morning at about O'clock The
old colored jailer. Washington Burch, was
having the breakfast Of the prisoners who
are contiEed in steel cages the second
floor carried to them, and in coming out of
the cage corridor he failed to fasten the
cage doors securely When he left to go
down stairs Mathews, one of the prisoners,
pushed his cell door open and then opened
the outside cage door and climbed on top
of the cages Immediately after the taller
went down to get breakfast for the other
prisoners and hid himself on top of the cage
just over the corridor near the stairway
leading to the first floor.
When Burch came upstairs again in a few
moments and walked around the outside
corridor to the south door leading TO the
cages Mathews dropped from his hiding
place TO the corridor on the outside and
ran down stairs and out the front door
neither the door at the head OF the stair
way nor the outside door being locked
Mrs Irwin and a colored woman con-
lined for larceny Were in the kitchen be-
low and saw Mathews as he ran The
colored woman called to the jailer to know
who II was that ran out. This was the
first intimation that the jailer had that
Mathews had escaped.
Burch gave the alarm, but Mathews was
soon hid in the woods beyond the jail
States Attorney Posey was in town, and,
with others, secured the ne.ghborhooI in
hopes of catching the escaped murderer.
Sheriff Wade summoned a posse who are
on the track of the criminal, and hopes
are expressed that he may be retaken.
Great indignation is being expressed on
every side at what ID termed the criminal
negligence and carelessness of the ja,ler.
Mathews, the escaped prisoner, is about
thirty years of age, about five feet eight
inches high and a well-built, muscular
man; weight, about leo pounds; has light
several weeks growth. As he is wafer
man, it is thought he will make TO city
and ship aboard some foreign-bound vessel.
He is a desperate man. and will not be
taken without a struggle.
The crime for which Mathews was con-
fined in Jail was the brutal murder of
James j. Irwin, at his home at Aliens
Fresh. in Charles county, while asleep in
bed on Sunday night, August o. Mrs. 1r-
win, wife of the murdered man, the self
confessed paramour of the murderer, was
held an accessory to the murder by a
coroners jury, and she is confined in jail
here.
After the escape of Mathews this morning
Mrs. Irwin appeared to be pleased.
States Attorney Posey ordered the sheriff
to lock her in a cell and not to allow any
communication with her. The sheriff has
offered reward Of $3.50 for the apprehen-
| sion of the murderer.
