though q few loans were made at that

and borrowers became more urgent In
thelr efforts 10 obtain accommodation,
so that shortly after noon money loaned
at 70 per cent. In the afternoon banks
that had agreed 20 loan money in the
morning cancelled their contracts,
making the situation worse, and no money
appeared from any source until the rate
reached CD per cent Then was supplied

advanced to 100 per cent, that rate being
paid on some loans TO be carried over

quantities.

Final Populist Work-probnbiIitie
All In Bryan's Favor.

CHICAGO. October 29-Chairman Wash
burn, OF the western Populist headquar-
ters, was in conference most Of to-day
with Senator Butler. chairman Of the Ma
tional Committee. Mr.. Washburn said
there was nothing done by them except
10 go over the general situation before
leaving their ticket IN the hands OF the
voters and TO attend 20 any details that
had been overlooked. The two chairmen
said they had done all that could be done
now, and the obstacles in the way OF
complete fusion would have 10 remain.
The campaign work Of the Peoples par
" National Committee is practically done,
and Mr. Washburn declared the probabii-
ties were al I'm the direction OF Bryan's
election. lie knew Of six combinations OF
electoral voters i'm States that were not
safely for Bryan or Mckinley, which
would work ont the salvation OF the silver
candidate. TO the one combination Of the
Republicans allowing them Illinois as
the decisive State. lie confidently de-
cared that Mr.. Bryan could not be beat
en-, with the boiling Democratic vote or
set by the silver Republican vote as ad-
mitted by the opposition and the addition
OF the 100000 Populist votes.

THE WATSON LETTER
MYSTERY IN REGARD TO IT NOT

TIE DELAY IN ITS DELIVERY.
This Hay Have been Due 90 the
Fact That 1t Was Insuficicntsy

cuiiarities.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., October o.
The mystery OF the Watson letter Is not
yet quite cleared up. Secretary Edger-
ton. OF the National Populist Committee,
to-day. replying to Mr. watson's state
ment that he CEdgerton could explain
the delay in the delivery to Senator But
Ter OF the missing letter OF acceptance
from Mr.. Watson, said
'The only reply l have 10 make to that
statement IL to oppose to IL the testi-
mony OF the Senate postmaster. that
neither the personal nor the official mail
OF Senator Butler is delivered to me.
never saw Mr. Watson's letter until Mon
day morning last. when Senator Butler
called me up TO his house and read II to
me-"
mo" he said. I'm reply TO p question, ~
have no copy OF the letter to make pub
lie. nor am l authorized to state the SUBJ
stance of its contents. Senator Butler
told me he received the letter on satur-
day night last"
This date being accepted as correctly
stating when the letter reached Senator
Butler. the mystery surrounding the nom
partly unexplained, inasmuch as twice
subsequently to that time Senator But
Ter told representatives OF the Southern
Associated Press that he had not yet
been placed in possession OF the latter.
Delays in the delivery OF insuficiently-
stamped communications TO Senators and
Representatives in Congress are by no
means unusual. They arise chiefly from
laxity of business methods on the part Of
cong ressmen themselves in the matter
Of small dues and charges. Insuffciently-
stamped letters to Senators or Represent
tatives are held at the city post-oiiice
until the Senate or House postmaster
sends the amount OF shortage. The SEN
ate and House postmasters. owing to
their inability to collect these amounts
from the members, especially I'm recess.
are in no hurry TO advance the amounts
due, and this may be the explanation
why Nh. WatsOn's letter to Senator But
Ter. being a stamp or two deficient. may
have lain in the Washington post-offico
eight days after its arrival here Never
theless. there seems 20 be much In the
incident which has not yet been satis-
factorily cleared up.
