SIGNIFICANT EDITORIAL.
IL Appeared In Vice Presidential Candi-
date Watson's Paper.

Atlanta, Ga. Oct. 3.-The publication
In this weeks issue of Thomas Wat
sons People Party paper. out Friday.
of an editorial attack on Chairman
Marion Butler OF the Populist national
committee, has excited comment here.
and is considered significant In view OF
the broad rumors abroad that Mr.. Wat
son may retire from the ticket. The
editorial In question is as follows:
Attempts have been made to show
that Mr.. Watson favored fusion in In
diana. This is not correct. Mr. Wat
son took the position at the beginning
of the campaign that no Populist could
consistently vote for a single Sewall
elector any more than he could vote
for a Hobart elector.
He filled with Chairman Butler a
written protest against Mr.. Buffers fu-
sion policy. Mr.. Butler has ignored Mr.
Watson's protest and gone steadily for
ward on his own line. Mr.. Watson
position is now what II was when the
Georgia state convention met. He Is
for a straight middle of the road
ticket. In no other way can the Demo
cratic managers be forced to abide by
the st. Louis contract. Mr.. watson:
position has been humiliating and EN-
barrassing, and he has been compelled
TO submit to policies he did not ap
prove"

RUPTURE NAY BE SERIOUS.
Incident Political InToItSrce Occurs
at Zanzibar

Zanzibar, Oct. 3.-lCopyright. 1895. by
the Associated Press.l- incident OF
great political Importance occurred
here Friday. resulting in decidedly
strained relations Between the British
and German officials ashore, and which
may lead TO international complica-
tions of a serious nature. After the
bombardment of the palace of Zanzibar
by the British gunboats Sparrow.
Thrush and Racoon. Seyyd Khalid,
who had proclaimed himself sultan on
Aug. 25 after the sudden death of
Seyyd Hammed BIN Thwain Bin Said,
sought refuge In the German consulate.
Demand was madeSpy the British au-
thorities for his surrender, but the
German consul acung upon instruc-
tions received from his government re-
fused to place the fugitive in the hands
of the British. This caused considera-
BILE irrita tion, and has been the cause
of considerable diplomatic correspon-
dence between Great Britain and Ger
many.
The situation took a new turn FRI
day. An unusually hish tide prevailed
and while it was touching the wall Of
the German consulate Knaiid was
placed under the escort of armed Ger
man sailors on board the German
cruiser Seeadler for conveyance. II is
believed, to one of the German colonies.
The British consul here. Mr. Basil Cave,
in charge Of the British agency I'm the
absence of A. II. Hardinge. the British
agent and consul general, who has
been TO England to consult with the
home government regarding the ad-
ministration of Zanzibar. was not noti-
fed of the removal of Khalid to the
German warship Seeadler. But. so soon
as he became aware of the action of
the German authorities. Mr.. Cave
lodged a vigorous protest at the Ger
man consulate against the embarkation
of Khalid, especially pointing out that
the question Of his surrender to the
British authorities was still under dis
cussion by the governments of Great
Britain and Germany.
Later. Mr.. Cave cabled a report of
the circumstances To his government
and is now awaiting instructions from
London. Viewed in the most conserva-
| tive light, the incident is regarded as
being an act of studied discourtesy
upon the part of the German repre-
sentatives toward representatives, OF
| Great Britain. and 1t can hardly fail Il

and 7lacents for a siX-hoop barrel. hand
work All the scales were based on the
hand work scale, although only one
shop, that of Joseph Fixter, is without
machinery. For machine work there
was a difference of AZ cents for eight
hoop barrels and cents for six-hoop
barrels. The men demanded that the
difference between machine and hand
work be reduced y cent a barrel. In
addition they demand the insertion Of
clause binding the manufacturers TO
employ none but union labor. No
change was proposed in the hand work
scale, but Joseph FiXter refused TO ac-
cept the union men clause. The en-
ployes of the different cooper shops
went to work in the morning, but about
9 o'clock, when their committee was re-

PlNeREe POTATO COMMISSION.

to the Poor.


Detroit oct S.-The Pingree potato
commission has just made a report on
its work during the last summer. The
report shows that the commission
started out i'm the spring with about
AS acres. which were apportioned
among 200 heads of families. repre-
senting 1913 children, or 1878 persons
in all. From this land had been pro-
duced with an outlay of less than
s.. 800 for seed and other expenses, up
wards of $4,000 bushels of potatoes, be-
sides a quantity of beets, cabbages,
corn, pumpkins. beans, etc. AT the
current retail market price of 90 cents
a bushel these potatoes would be worth.
the commission figures, nearly $4,000,
a profit on that crop alone of over 900
per cent. on the money invested.
Up to the 1st of August the crop OF
potatoes promised TO be phenomenal,
but the heavy rains interfered some
what with the yield. which has never
theless been abundant, and equal to
any previous year. II will average
over twenty-six bushels to the family.
The report concludes with glowing
account of the immense benefit the
poor families of Detroit will receive
from the crop and the superior ad-
vantages the potato patch scheme has

ity. The commission estimates that the
