BRITISH OPINION.
A London Journals Review of the
Political Situation.

LONDON, Oct. 29.-The Times, in
an article on the campaign for Presi-
dent in the United States, says: If Sem
ator Jones, Daniel Campau, respective
ly Chairman of the Democratic Ma
tiona1 Committee and the National
Campaign Committee, and other Demo-
cratic magnateS are correct in their
figures, 1T is conclusive that Mr. Rrvan
will be elected. Mr.. Campau estimates
that ~ Bryan electoral votes will be
cast by thirty-three States, including
Indiana. Michigan, Illinois, Iowa and
Minnesota, all of which the speakers
think are safe.
If, therefore, the State of New York
persists in the belief that Mckinley
will be elected, it is not for the want of
warning. If the East is blind, it is will
fully blind. A Shrewd observer in Chi
cago thinks that the prevalent Bryan
demonstrations mean Bryan votes.
Moreton Frewen, the English econo-
mist and bimetallist, who is now in
America, writes to the Times that he
has seen and heard all of the leading
men on both sides, and finds that
throughout Illinois, Indiana and Mich
igan the Republican farmers are work.
ing heart and soul for Bryan. Mr..
Bryan will also carry all of the South

OF Maryland and Delaware, and all of
the Western States except Oregon and
Wyoming.

A HUSBANDS RAGE.
Attempts to Murder His Wife and
Then Commits Suicide.

MCPHERSON (Kan.), Oct. 29.-Sher-
man Rowland, wealthy farmer, quar-
relied with his wife and beat her. They
then separated, after which reconcilia-
ton followed To-day Mrs. Rowland
expressed a desire to visit her rela-
tives, but Rowland objected.
She hired driver and called in City
Marshal Wolf to prevent her husband
from delaying her. Wolf no sooner ar
rived than Rowland began firing a 40
caliber revolver at them.
Mrs. Rowland and Marshal Wolf each
received a bullet in the arm. Rowland
then sprang on his horse and rode rap
idly into the country, where he shot
himself through the heart
Previous to the tragedy Rowland
bore a good reputation in the COM
munity in which he lived. He was a
quiet peaceable kind Of man and was
never known to quarrel with any one
He very seldom drank and when he did
he never imbibed to excess
The only motive that can be assigned
for his rash deed was jealousy. His
wife was comely and Rowland thought
that she was too much f1attered by the
attentions of other men,
1t is thought that he may have mis-
taken Marshal Wolf for one of his wife's 3
admirers.

FUSION MAY BE BROKEN.
A POPULIST EDITORS APPEAL TO
PARTY VOTERS.
Asked to Cut Loose From the Demo-
cratic Alliance the
National Committee.

WASHINGTON, Oct. ON. A. Dun
ming, formerly editor of the Populist
national orgain, has prepared an appeal
to the POpuHStS to cut loose from the
Democratic alliance. Mr.. Dunning also
defends the attitude of Mr.. Watson, the
Populist candidate for Vice-President.
The most interesting part of the docu-
ment is the attack he makes upon the
party leaders for willfully and treach-
erouSly leading it into it's present unfor-
tunate and precarious predicament"
As to this he says: Senator Allen,
General Weaver Jerry Simpson, Chair
man Breidenthal, Editor Patterson and
other prominent Populists in the West
.bartered the electoral vote of Kansas
Colorado and Nebraska to Mr.. Bryan
in exchange for Congressional, State
and county offices. The real popular
sentiment" he says, was subordinated
to official greed and the principles of the
reform party made a matter of mer-
chandise.''
The writer pays his respects to the
Populist National Committee as fol-
lows:
This committee headed by Senator
Butler, has betrayed the trust given it,
made merchandise of the party that
created it, and stands to-day guilty of
the crime of fraud, treachery and de-
ception against those it should have
honestly served. They have placed the
principles of our party on the auction
block and knocked them down to the
highest bidder. This committee nearly
two months after the convention refused
to recognize the nomination Of Mr. Wat
son, and nothing save the rising tide of
rebellion among the rank and file of
the party induced them to yield grudg-
ingly an insulting notification. This no.
tification was held off until the last mo-
ment, and while I am writing this ap-
peal Chairman Butler is suppressing.
the letter of acceptance sent him by Mr..
Watson.
This committee has spent its entire
time in the interest of the Democratic
ticket, and in no single instance has it
made a claim for the Populist nominee.
Every action of this committee since the
convention has been a studied attempt
to drive Mr.. Watson from the ticket
Senator Butler has betrayed Mr.. Wat
son at every turn.
The committee has followed It's own
dictatorial inclination, despite the pro-
test of the party and the injustice done
to Mr.. Watson. In States where the
people demanded Bryan and Waston
electors this committee has sought by
every means in its power to prevent
such action. This treacherous commit
tee has also cunnfngly arranged that
the Bryan and Sewall electors have a
majority in every State where fusion
has been made.
Even in North Carolina an elector
was given to the silver party which has
no existence in order to place Mr.. Wat
son in the minority. In this manner
the committee has conducted the entire
campaign. 1t sought to delay the noti-
fication of Mr.. Watson in order to fasten
fusion more securely upon the party
before his honest indignation could be
made public through his letter of ac-
ceptance.'

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION IN A MINE.
SIX MEN WERE KILLED AND

The dead are: William r. Jones, fire

The injured: David Williams, laborer,
overcome by gas; John Davis, laborer,
overcome by gas and bruised on the

Six others were brought to the sur
face uninjured.
When the explosion occurred William
Lacey, a contractor, was at work in a
rock tunnel about a mile from the foot
of the shaft with thirteen men.
Immediately after the explosion a res
cuing gang was organized by fire boss
William r. Jones and assistant foreman

the shaft, Jones and Joseph being far
in advance. Win about one mile from

There are several theories as to the
cause of the explosion. The mine is
known to be a dangerous one and extra
precautions have always been taken to
guard against explosions. All the men

safety lamps. SO that ii is not thought
the explosion was caused by a naked
lamp. The most plausible theory is that
the gas was ignited by a blast

NORRISTOWN Pa), Oct 29.-A
murder unparalleled in the annals of
crime in Montgomery County was COM
mitted last night on a public road in
Upper Mercer Township, near Bridge
port. Mrs. Emma Kaiser, the young
wife of Charles O. Kaiser, Jr., was shot
down as she rode along with her hus-
band. who an hour later was receiving
the coincidence of friends, but who to-
day stands accused of the crime.
The first information Of the tragedy
was received when Kaiser drove into
Bridgeport with the body of his wife
beside him. The only witness of the
crime was the alleged murderer him
self, and the only details to be had
were CLEANED from him first by Frank s.
Mancil of the Farmers Hotel and later
by the police.
Mr.. Mancil, accompanied by his
daughter, was driving to Norristown,
and when he reached a point on the
road skirting William p. David's farm,
near the Trenton cutoff on the rail-
read. he saw Kaiser running wildly
about in the road shouting, Murder,
Help" In carriage standing in the
road lay Mrs. Kaiser, dead
Alighting from his vehicle, Mr. Man
Gil listened to kaisers story of a high
way robber and the shooting of his wife.
Kaiser appeared TO be frenzied with
agony, and Mr.. Mancil suggested that
probably the woman was only uncon-
scious, and that the best thing to do
was to drive ahead of Mr.. ManciI's
team to the office of DR.. Mann, in
Bridgeport.
Kaiser propped the body between his
shoulder and the carriage curtain, the
blood streaming from the wound and
clottfng on his coat. The body was
carried in the office, and when it was
placed on the floor exposed a ghastIy
wound in the left temple Kaiser twice
tainted. He said that his wife was
shot as she was drawing her watch
chain over her head to hand it to the
bandit, and that he raised his arm and
received bullet in the shoulder that
was intended for his head
The police doubted the story, and
began an investigation of the story.
and this morning Chief of Police Roden-
baugh, Coroner Kurtz and Mr. Mancil
recovered the alleged stolen jewelry
FROM inmates of the boarding house
where the couple lived it was learned
that the Kaisers carried a Joint insur-
ance policy of $4,000 the death of
either making the other the beneficiary.
and that several weeks ago Kaiser and
his wife executed a will, each making
the other executor and sole legatee.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Fraudulent
citizens papers have been discovered
in possession of a number of Italians
residing in this county. These papers
bear the counterfeit seal of the Supe-
rior Court and the forged signatures
of its Chief Clerk. One of the Italians
found with one of the fraudulent papers
in his possession stated that he bought

says the seller made considerable
money disposing of the papers to Ital-

this district will be closely watched on

Casts His Ballot.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The fol-
lowing call was issued tonight from
Democratic headquarters:
To the voters of the United States:
In the preliminary battle of the peo-
pie against the plutocracy, the people
have already won. In spite of an ex-
penditure of money SO large that the
civilized world stands appalled, at its
magnitude, to-day a large majority of
the people of the United States are in
open revolt against the mercless gold
standard and the domination of the
country by the syndicated wealth of
Europe and America interested in Sc
curing or preventing legislation and in
controlling the exercise of the laws in
their interest. All that is necessary to
secure the registering of the peoples
will is to see that every voter comes to
the polls and casts an unpurchased bal
lot. Many Of the millions contributed
by the syndicates have been reserved

Beaten at every point, the last re-
sort of money is to buy ballots Of the
poor; purchasing his absence from the
polls or to coerce his vote by intimi-
dation. To prevent this is possible. if
every patriot will do his duty Every
member of a club must go to the polls
early in the morning on election day.
cast his ballot and remain until the
polls close and the result is announced.
Take care that every voter gets to the
polls and casts his vote. Note down
the names of every absent voter. Let
it be known that the citizen who fails
to vote unless prevented by extreme
illness has either been purchased by
the money of the corruptionists or is
otherwise unworthy to be called a
citizen.
