NOW FORANOTHERRATE VAR Seaboard Air Line Still in the
 Ring. A SATISFACTORY REPORT X ide to inc Stockholders of the Several Di- visions. HOFFMAN COULDN'T DELIVER THE GOODS And the Ryan Deal Fell Through-The Injunction to Be Quashed
 and a Black Flag
 Hoisted.
HOFFMAN COULDN'T DELIVER THE GOODS

Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 19.-The annual meeting of the stockholders and directors or the Raleigh and Gaston, Raleigh and Augusta, and Durham and Northern di- visions of the Seaboard Air line was held here today. The same board of directors were reelected and the latter reelected k. C. Hoffman president and E. St. John Vice-president. There were present Hoff- man, St. John, Walter B. McAtee. J. L. Mimms, W. w. Chamberlain and Charles F. Mayer, Ghe ex-president of the Bal timore and Ohio); Leigh R. Watts. of Portsmouth; George w. Watts and Ben N. Duke and w. H. Martin, of Durham. A. H. Bridges, of Henderson
 The reports made were said to be very satisfactory. Those for the quarters ending September 30, when the cut rates were in force, it is stated, showed rates of increase of $75O0O anually on the Ralaagh and Gaston division, and over $4O0,000 anual increase on the entire sys- tenn. Each of the meetings of the direc- tors adopted the following:
 Resolved, That the general manage ment of the affairs of this line meets with the hearty approbation of the stock holders of the company"
 Upon inquiry it is stated regarding the failure of the negotiations for sale to the Ryan syndicate that President Hoff- man wanted to sell, but the small stock holders were unwilling to do so and that this caused the breaking off of matters. President Hoffman and the other officials left this afternoon for Atlanta on a spec ial train. The annual stockholders and directors meetings of the Georgia, Caro- lima and Northern railway will be held there tomorrow

TOM WATSON AGAIN
Writes an Open Letter to Senator Ma rion Butler, Accusing Him of Having
 Betrayed Him.

Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 19.-The Constitu- tion will print the following tomorrow morning: Tom Watson has been rubbing
 more red pepper into .he wounds of Sen ator Marion Butler. In his paper, out yestreday, he publishes his answer to Butler, and it is without any appearance of conservatism In his reply MT. Wat
 son says, in part: You did not dare to
 publish it (the first letter. because you felt it's arraignment of you to be unan- swerable. MT. Washburn's telegram (to which I was no party) did not control
 you then in not publishing the letter any
 more than they control you now in sup pressing it. The truth is, senator, you feel yourself to be deeply guilty man as, indeed, you are. Instead of managing this great campaign in a spirit of broad patriotism and of courageous loyalty to your nominee and your party, you have allowed your personal ill-will toward me to divert you into tortuous, narrow, jealous and disloyal policy which has shipwrecked the peoples party and brought the success of Mir. Bryan to a crisis of extreme peril.
 You now plead with me to pull you out of the hole. shall do nothing of the kind You pecked your way into it; you must peck your way out
 Senator. you were selected as chair man to help me with this campaign. You were expected to act with me and for me You have not done so. You have acted without me, and you have acted against me. In nothing have you con- suited me. At no time have you told me of your plans or your purposes. "In all this you may be right, and I
 may be wrong. The committee called off at one side by you at Chicago has sus-
 tained you and censured me. Therefore,
 my position is most painful The Bryan
 Sewall committee is against me, and the
 Rryan- Watson committee is against me-
 'I stand alone.
 But, senator, I was populist while
 you were still camping with the demo-
 crats and I have always been middle
 of-the-road populist, while you never
 have been A fusionist you have always
 been. and you bargain with the republi-
 cans in one campaign and with the dem
 ocrats in the next. In this campaign
 you have bargained with both republi-
 cans and democrats.
 God only knows which bargain you in-
 tend to keep.
 "As for me, turn from you and ap-
 peal to the real, true-hearted populists.
 If I have sinned against principle and
 right in demanding that our party and
 it's nominees and It's creed be represented by the democrats who had come to us
 for help-then I want the party to say
 so, and ] yill bow to its degree: u,. =
 put me under the heels of the democratic tricksters and bosses, and shall contin- ue to claim the privilge of speaking and writing for the national nominees of the peoples party.
 .I do not believe that the time has yet come when the populists will say 1t is It is unnecessary for me to say that my letter of acceptance must stand just as 1t Is written. Yours truly,
 THOMAS B. WATSON"

VERY NARROW ESCAPE.
French Ministry Sorely Strained Be-
 cause of Dreyfus.

French Ministry Sorely Strained Be-
 cause of Dreyfus.
 London, Nov. 19.-A dispatch from Paris to the Pail Mall Gazette says that the ministry had a very narrow escape in the chamber of deputies yesterday, and nothing but the patriotism of a num- Der of deputies saved it from overthrow. The hostility of the chamber was aroused by the overwhelming attitude and tone of General Billet, minister of war, in his statement which Premier Moline at first was not disposed to supplement until he saw his own friends were leaving him. In view of the situation the premier was compelled to accept a compromise in the shape of modification of the motion of M. Castelin, demanding that the govern ment take action in the case of the re- ports that Dreyfus had been the victim of a plot and expressing confidence that the government would endeavor to pun ish the guilty persons. The opinion in the lobby after the debate was that the gov- ernment would be obliged to order new prosecutions in connection with the case of Dreyfus, many members expressing belief that 1t would be better for the country to have shot Dreyfus than to pay 2,500 pounds sterling year to keep him in confinement
 A dispatch from Paris says: "The Journal understands that as result of yesterdays debate in the case of Cap tain Dreyfus, the minister of justice has ordered reopening of the inquiry into inc ma tier
