WILL WATSON COME DOWN. A Man Who Is Close to Him
 Says So. AS HE HAS NOTHING TO GAIN The Tacturn Thomas Declines to Discuss the
 Subject, However. SEEMS TO BE SORE ON POP MANAGERS Reiterates His Opposition to Fusion-Col Buck Orders the Georgia Negroes
 to Vote the Populst
 Ticket.
;EMS TO BE SORE ON POP MANAGERS

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 1.-Thomas E. Wat son, who is here tonight declined to dis cuss the report that he contemplated re- tiring from the national populist ticket. He seems to be sore on the managers of the national campaign for allowing him to be traded off in the fusion between the populsts and the democrats in the sey- eral states. He has practically nothing in the states where there has been fu- sion, the populists having taken the local nominations and given the democrats the electoral tickets or a majority of the electors.
 In a speech at Stone Mountain, Ga., to- day MT. Watson defended his course in opposing fusion on the electoral ticket. lie said that he had refused fusion with the republicans in Georgia and in Texas. His reason for so doing was that the pop ul1st party was organized as a protest against the old parties, and fusion would be condoning their faults. If we were to fuse with either of them we would there after be estopped from attacking them, and would have to admit that they were right"
 A populist leader who is close to Wat son says tonight that Watson has noth- Ing to gain by running-no possible chance to be elected even if Bryan is elected-and therefore Watson will re- tire.

WE'LL CARRY THIRTY STATES
That Is the Claim of Senator Blackburn Ken lucky All Right = Believes There's
 Treachery in New York.

New York, Oct 1.-Senator J. C. S. Blackburn of Kentucky. who addressed the Bryan mass meeting on Tuesday evening, was still in the city yesterday and was at the Waldorf He practically admits that the state of New York is lost to the democrats, and talks bitterly about what he calls the treachery of certain leaders, but when he comes to speaking of the situation over the country he grows enthusiastic.
 Why" he said yesterday. Sin this cam paign have covered this country, south and west, pretty thoroughly, and l am convinced that Bryan is going to carry thirty of the forty-five states. I base the calculation upon the fact that there is a general uprising in favor of free silver over the country and upon what have seen and heard"
 Senator Blackburn says that the peo- pie of the east are lamentably ignorant about the situation in the west.

May Be Other Victims.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The southern hur- ricane, which swept over this city with such resistless force on Tuesday night, left one fatality and probably several more in it's wake here. The mangled body of James F. Fitzgerald was dug out of the ruins of Charles Beatty's saloon on Pennsylvania avenue, at 8:30 o'clock this morning Fitzgerald was employed in the navy yard as skilled mechanic. He was 34 years of age and a native of Maine.
 The police believe there are at least two more bodies in the wrecked building in which the remains of Fitzgerald were ex- humed. Charles Coleman, colored, waiter in Kelly's lunch room, has been missing since the storm. He was in the place a few minutes before the crash came and has not been since seen.
 As soon as the workman learned that there were probably others in the ruins they worked with redoubled vigor. The police say that the theaters were out at the time the storm broke in it's fury and they believe that others who sought shel- ter in Kellys or Beatty's saloons may be entombed in these great piles of debris

Colored Republicans May Break Up the
 Fusion Scheme

fuSlOn Scheme.
 Dallas, Tex, Oct. IA secret meeting of the republican leaders because of mutiny in the state campaign committee lasted until after midnight last night. Ferguson and Mcdonald, negro mem bers of the campaign committee, made bitter speeches against fusion with popu- lists, threatening to resign from the com mittee. Ferguson complained of lack of personal consideration from the lead CTS, and declared that they had made a special favorite of Cuney, his most bitter enemy.
 Cuney made red hot speech in defense of himself and declared uneauivocally in favor of fusion of republicans, populists and gold democrats from precinct to presidential offices. Many republicans openly declare Ferguson and Mcdonald to have fallen under the influence of the democratic leaders and desire to sell the negro vote particularly in Governor Gull persons interest. Ferguson is a special friend of State Chairman Green and lead CTS here are trying to hold things together till Green can arrive from New York to- morrow or Saturday.
 Another meeting of the leaders will be called at o'clock this afternoon Proni- nent republicans are arriving from all parts of the state and poulist leaders are uneasy.

sALVINI SERIOUSLY I'LL.
His Father Fears the Young Actor Cannot
 Recover.


 New York, Oct. 1.-The serious illness of MT. Alexander Salvini al Monte Catino, his fathers residence, near Florence, It. ally, was reported some time ago. For several weeks his manager, MT. w, J. Willzison, has heard nothing about his stars condition, but yesterday it was stated on good authority that the elder Salvini had cabled one of his friends here that he feared his son would not recover.
 The younger Salvini has won high place for himself among the romantic actors of this country, and his death would be a great loss to the dramatic profession. Ills strongest role is probably that of D'Artagnan in "The Three Guardsmen." Latterly he has essayed Hamlet with considerable success, and 1t was his intention to produce "Othello" and other plays with which his fathers name was associated.
 The elder Salvini was much opposed to his sons going upon the stage, but be- came very proud of the young man after he had made a hit as star. The old act or's last visit to this country was made about two years ago, on the occasion of his sons marriage to Miss Dixon, his leading lady.

Great Reception at Wheeling.

Wheeling, W. Va, Oct. 1.-William J. Bryan has every reason to be proud of the reception he received here today Wheeling celebrated his presence with great enthusiasm, pyratechnics galore and a gathering of humanity that has never before been seen within the bor- ders of the city. Ohio joined with West Virginia in the demonstration. From Stebbenville came many excursonists, in cludng the members of two free silver clubs. One of these organizations was called the republican free silver club and claimed 4000 men in line, carrying a trans parency sign, Mark Hanna don't own us." Pittsburg, Pa sent 1500 people.
 The vast throngs on the streets when MT. Bryan reached Wheeling were un- precedented in this town. How many were in the swarms of humanity along the sidewalks is impossible of estima ton, but an idea of their size may be gained from the statement that passage was all most impossible for pedestrians for the dozen blocks over which the street parade passed. The parade was quite imposing with its free silver clubs in uniform and it's troops of mounted men.
 The speaking took place on Wheeling island, in the Ohio river, and it's four bridge approaches, two from the Ohio side of the river and the others from Wheeling were tested to their utmost ca- pacity. At 4 o'clock this afternoon the grand stand on the island, said to hold 5000 people, was nearly full, and the as- semblage gathered in size until by the time MT. Bryan arrived there the crowd had become a remarkable one in point of the number composing 1t. Estima tes of it's size ran as high as 10000, and it is claimed that 10000 people were on the streets.
 Mr. Bryan was cheered wildly when he was introduced by Paul Reymann a democrat of local prominence He con cluded at 9:15 o'clock and at midnight his special train left for Charleston, where he is to speak tomorrow morning.

 Scare-W oman in 1t.

Constantinople, Oct. 1.--Up to Septem- Der 20. thirty wealthy Armenians, includ- ing one Armenian nobility had been ar rested on suspicion of having taken part in the recent revolutionary movements. The general opinion is that these persons are wholly innocent.
 Considerable excitement was caused in the Yoni Kapu quarter last evening by the explosions of bomb. The police say the explosion, which did no damage, was the result of an effort on the part or an Armenian woman to get rid of number of bombs which she had in her posses sion. She was in the act of throwing the bombs into the sea when one Of them exploded. The woman was arrested.
 A cordon of troops has been thrown around the Turkish quarter Of Peruza- gha. This action is believed to be pre- cautionary measure against the trouble growing out of the arrest of certain Turks connected with the growing dis content of Moslems with the present gov- prnmpnt

 "The brave and loyal stand that you have taken meets with responsive thrill in tn breast of every true populst in America. We car now all see that the action of Allen, Weaver, Taubeneek & Co. was for the express purpose of dis rupting the peoples party. They have all fell short of their purpose.

Keys has not been learned at Savannah yet. It is not probable, however, that the storm proved more destructive than at other points in the state.
 Other towns in Florida felt the force of the blow, but the damage done was trivial. None of the famous large ho- tels suffered to an extent worth mention- ing, and it is believed here that the fore going story covers the path of the blow in the state so fully that there is very little left untold.
