MR.. WATSON'S LETTER
It Will Become One of the Secrets of Political
History.
Chairman Buffers Trip to Indiana
Watson Will Boom Himself-
Chairman Jones' Fear.

National Committeeman Washburn's
statement that Watsons letter will prob
ably not b, made public is regarded as
official, and the red-hot document from the
fiery populist statesman will become one
Of the secrets of political history. unless
1T makes its appearance after the election.
Washburn is the friend of Watson and has
engineered matters all the way through in
the interest Of the Georgian.
1t would not, however, surprise the pop
ulist managers here to see anything come
from Mr.. Watson at any time. The de-
parture of Chairman B Itler for Indiana to-
day has some connection, 1t is believed, with
Watson's movements until the campaign is
Closed. 1t is Officially given out that Mr..
Butler may also go to Chicago. but will re-
turn here in two or three days. No busi-
ness is known that would call Senator But
Ter to indianapolis or any part of Indiana
uEleSS there should be something in con-
nection with the withdrawal of the pop
ulist state ticket or for conference with
M. c. Rankin, the national treasurer To-
Gated at Terre Haute. The financial end
OF the populist party is supposed to be in
fair condition. No large contributions, 1t
Is true have been made to the populists,
but no large sums of money have been ex-
pended I'm any way. 1t IS not thought tn 1t
the total expenses of the populist cam
paign will foot up $4,000. A portion of this
mas been spent in the printing of the can.
paign book, which has not appeared
therefore the supposed trip to Indiana is
thought to be to meet some of the populist
or democratic leaders about d particular
phase of the campaign.
Watson and His Game.
The Indefinite postponement of the Wat
son letter is construed by silver people to
mean that Watson will seize On the result
of the election to boom himself If Bryan
is elected he will give it out that he smoth-
cred his feelings, suppressed an indignant
letter and made everything suhservient to
the interests of Bryan. If Bryan is de-
feated his letter may be published and the
result summed up being brought about
by refusing to follow Watson's suggestions
of what ought to have been done If the
letter itself is never published Watson will
be sure to make statement embodying
the ideas incorporated in 1t. Whatever The
result, Watson will prove Watsons side
OF the case to his own satisfaction.
Will Keep Mr.. Jones QuakinR.
1t is alleged that Chairman Jones has a
wholesome fear Of Watson, and it is hinted
IN some quarters that this may come about,
if true, because the chairman is afraid
Watson will talk about the promises made
at the St. Louis convention. The demo-
cratic chairman will not rest contented IL
is predicted. until election night rolls
around, and he then sees nothing in sight
from Watson. Aside from what Watson
might give away of the past, Chairman
Jones knows that red-hot letter from
Watson at this time would hurt the chances
Of the allied forces.

WHEAT OPENED LOWER.
Unusually Large Northwest Receip1
the Cause.

Unusually Large Northwest Receipts
the Cause.
CHICAGO, October 27.-Wheat opened
weak this morning, and at q decline Of
nearly cent. The great factor was north
west receipts. which were more than 100
cars larger than last year. Traders ap-
peared to consider them too liberal for the
market to continue to advance. and looked
for further liquidation. Liverpool cables,
too. were disappointing, being reported dull
and unchanged.
LONDON, October 27.-At the Baltic this
morning business in wheat was very dull,
and the tendency was toward easier prices
The Evening Standard this afternoon
says that the tendency in wheat is for
higher prices. 1.-THE failure in india" says
that paper, will divert California and
Australian wheat from Europe there. Only
the tremendous effort in the United States
to hurry wheat across the Atlantic in ex-
change for gold prevented a much greater
increase in prices, and when the thrush is
past there will be further rise.'

Spccial Dispatch to The Evening Star.
AMESBURY, Mass, October 27.-The
friends of John L. Sullivan are alarmed
over a report that the champions right
arm is in peril. His hand has been at
tackled by a cancer. The cancer has been
cut out, but the danger is still imminent
Sullivan had been warned that II he does
not stop drinking liquor the whole right
arm may have to be amputated. Sullivan
is thoroughly frightened. and is doing what
he is ordered without question. His closest
friend, Billy Hogarty, Is with him con-
stantly and helping him to take care of
himself. Other friends also are exerting
their influence to keep him from forget
ting his danger He is surrounded by good
advisers and 1t is probable that under such
circumstances the trouble may not pro-
gress. The cancer has been developing for
q long time, but until within a few days it
seemed SO Insignificant that Sullivan gave
it little thought Finally the hand became
so painful that Sullivan could no longer
disregard it, and he showed it to a physi-
clan. 1t was diagnosed as cancer, and an
operation was advised and performed The
bardaged hand is an object of curiosity to
all of the big fellows" acquaintance.

NOT A FORCED TAX,
The Government Asks Voluntary
Subscriptions.

Subscriptions.
In an interview today with the Turkish
minister, Moustapha Bey, he said he had
seen in certain newspapers reports accord
ing to which the imperial Turkish govern
ment had imposed forced tax of 5 pias-
tres upon the Mussulmans. 1t being found
necessary by the imperial government to
raise funds for the arming and equipping
OF the imperial troops. he said, the govern
Hent mas had recourse 10 voluntary sub
seriptlons, by appointing a commission. IF
the Mussulmans have been specially in
vited to contribute, he said, it is on ac-
count or the special situation they occupy
in serving in the army, but the Christian
subjects are equally at liberty to contribute
TO the sane. 1t is not, therefore, as GER
tain newspapers contend, he says, a forced
tax, but subscription Of absolutely volun-
tary character.
