Butt B 1ER TO w A TSON
LETTER WRITTEN BEFORE ELECTION
JUST MADE PUBLIC.
The Chairman Of the Populist MAJ
tional Committee wrote Asking
Mr.. Watson to Strike From HIS
Letter Of Acceptance q REQUEST
That Popu1ists Refrain From Vo-5
ting for sewnll Electors.

Washington, Nov 17.-In view of.
the fact that the letter Of Tom Wa tson,
accepting the vice-preside Dental nominal
ton Of the Populist party has been
published, Senator Marion Butler to-
day made public his reply, written
when Mr.. Watson's letter was re-
ceived, in which he took exception to
its tone. The reply is as follows:
washington, Oct. 26.-HCn. Thomas
f. Watson, Thomson, Ga. Dear Sir.
Your letter of acceptance was re-
ceived Saturday night. It had been.
delayed in the postofice for want OF
sufficient postage. You, in effect, adj
wise Populists not to support the joint
electoral tickets that have been ar
ranged in large number OF states. Is
it possible that you fully appreciate
the effect of such advice? At least,
upon reflection you must know that II
enough Populists should follow such
advice it would mean the defeat OF
Bryan and the election Of Mckinley.
Besides, if your advice should be FOL
lowed by enough POpulists the Peo-
pies party would not have a single.
elector in the electoral college. In the.
states where we have joined electoral
tickets, we will get every elector that
we do get; and, besides, it is in those.
states where we will get the hulk. it
not all the Peoples party congress
men. In your state, and other states
which have followed your advice.
against electoral tickets, we will not
get single elector, and | fear not
many congressman, if any. You GER
tainly cannot mean, however much
YOU may have favored q miGdle-of-the-
road policy insthe beginning, to advise
our friends to do that which at this
time would be the most effective
agency in placing in power Mckinley
and his backers-the trusts and mo-.
nopolies. Can any personal OF party
injustice, however great, justify its
being responsible, either directly OF in
directly, for placing in power the
stockholders, mohopolies, trusts, the
British gold ring, and all of the COM
bined robbers of the people and enc.
mics OF good government?
"In the name of outraged and suf-
fering humanity whose prayers to-day
go up from millions Of homes for Will
lam J. Bryan in his heroic and marvel
Gus struggle against the minions OF
corporate greed and the hellish gold
conspiracy, let us sink every other con-
s1deration and hold up his hands and
do the full duty of Americans and
patriots. Let us remember that it is
suffering people and a betrayed re-
public, and not Democratic politicians
4 that to-day call for our help and de-
(mand our services. Bryan will be
elected and the government redeemed
if every patriot does his duty. Let us
do ours Therefore I beseech you to
change at least that part of our letter
which gives advice which, if followed,
would surely help the common enemy.
If you do not, then you. yourself, must
assume the responsibility Of giving
such document to the public at this
time. Yours truly,
-"Marion Butler

INDIAN LANDS.
They Cannot BE Sold Without the
q Governments Consent

TAey cannot he SOl0 without the
Governments Consent
Chamberlain, s. D.. Nov. 17.-Com-
missioner LalnoreuX. of the general
land Office, has made decision in a
local case that an Indian can relin-
Quish an allotment only by consent
ander the direction OF the Indian de
partment. Until REIMBURSEMENT is
delivered to the land office it is subject
to withdrawal by the Indian or by the
secretary Of the Interior; like a deed,
it takes effect only upon delivery, and,
like other ACCOMPLISHMENTS. must be
filed with the local land office or with
the general land Office to constitute a
delivery to the proper officers. In the
case at issue it was filed with neither,
and the general land office had no Of
fetal knowledge Of the existence IF the
REIMBURSEMENT until over four months
after it had been acted upon by the
acting secretary of the interior. The
commissioner contends that i'll consent
ing to the REIMBURSEMENT the secretary
acted only as trustee for the Indian,
and that the commissioner Of Indian
affairs could only act in a like capac-
ity; such acts in no way restored said
lands to the public domain.

The Shipment of>American Maize Ii
Urged by q Missionary

The Shipment of American Maize Is
Urged by a Missionary
London, Nov, IL. - A correspondent
telegraphs to the Times from Alfalfa
bad. India. as follows: Distress is
beginning to be felt in the .ceded dis
tricts of Madras. Rev Mr. Campbell.
a British missionary, writes from Cud-
dapen urging the importation Of Amer
lean maize which, he says, lis half the
price of wheat and would find ready
sale in our up-country villages 1t is
grown in many parts of the ceded dis
tricts and from its resemblance to
cholam would be preferred to either
rice or ragi, while it could be sold
much cheaper than any Of the Indian
grains. If the government will not
undertake such a work surely there are
merchants in Madras prepared to ben
eft the public with a prospect OF q
fair profit. Maize would also find a
ready sale in upper India 2
This correspondent also quotes an
article from the Pioneer dealing with.
the drouth. 1t expects a good rainfall
from the latter half of December on
ward, but none before that.

Strychnine Caused Fingers Death.
Milwaukee, Nov. 1S.-There is little
doubt now that Col. Fred Engel, who
was a member Of Gov. Upham's staff,
committed suicide. The post mortem
shows that there was strychnine in
the stomach, and the physicians who
conducted it reported to the coroner
that he died of poisoning. Col. Engel
did not tell his wife Of the trouble he
had with lis employers, but he con-
fessed to friend that he was short
to the amount of $500, He said that
he had been out of employment for
some time, that his creditors were
pressing him, and that he took the
money SO that his wages would not be
garnisheed. intending to return it as
soon as possible. lii The meantime the
shortage was discovered and he was
discharged. He said that he could not
tell his wife, and that he would kill
himself. His father. who is well-to-
do citizen of Kenosha, will take the
body to that city for, burial.

IN KENTS BEHALF
Judge Mcconnell Confers With Gov

Judge Mcconnell Confers With Gov
Allen.
Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 10. - It will
soon be known whether Kent now
under reprieve in the Fargo Jail, will
be hanged or sent to the penitentiary
for life. The unusual spectacle of
Judge who has sentenced man to
death appearing before the chief ex-
ecutive of the state asking commuta-
ticn of the sentance has attrtcted
attention. Judge Mcconnell arrived
from Fargo this morning and was con-
sulting with the governor and States:
Attorney Voss during the entire day.
Voss is decidedly opposed to executive
interference, but the general opinion
is that the sentence will be. committed.
Judge Nc Cornell began his plea by
quoting his telegram to GOV. Allin last
week, as. follows:
THAT the writing in the black book
should be SO ninutely written before
hand. the absence of rlichman on both
trials, and possibility Of his tamper-
ing With the black book, and the lack.
of Kent's motives are some Of the
things that caused me often to hest
tate and doubt. Many things occur
ring On the trial prejudicial to the de-
PENDANT, it is hard to tell their weight
on the jury in fixing the death pen
alty.'
He then reviewed the case at length
Oh these lines. and closed by saying
that there was such great room for
doubt at to Kent's guilt that justice
demanded that the sentence be COM
muted to Imprisonment for life. It
is thought here that Gov. Allin will
commute the sentence.
Fargo, Nov. 1S.-The strain on Kent
is beginning to be manifest, and to-
day while conference is being held
in Bismarck, and his life trembles in
the balance, he appears extremely
nervous. He expresses confidence that
the governor will commute the sen
tence. Kent is said to have given it
out that he would never walk to the
galloWs. and il the governor decides
that lie must hang he will have to be
carried from the jail to he grim in-
strument of death in the Enclosure in
the jail yard.
