DEAL WITH BUTLER.
1t Is very evident to-day that the Re-
publican senators win not for some time
at least be able to realize on the deal
said to have been made with Senator
Butler, OF North Carolina, by which they
hoped TO thoroughly reorganize the Sen
ate Immediately. The action Of the six
Populist senators at their caucus OH Sa-
turday, while quite surprise TO the
Republican leaders, Is not the only OBJ
stacle confronting them, as the rumor
OF the dissatisfaction OF Senator Quay
and other Republicans gives color TO
the statement that the action OF the Re-
publican caucus WIN not be endorsed by
the Senate.
Senator Pritchard, who gets the credit
for engineering the deal left the city
this evening in disgust. He will go from
here to Chicago. and thence to his
home. In North Carolina. and does not
expect to resume his senatorial duties
here for at least two weeks.

case will close the hearings In all of the
Virginia cases. after which they will be
referred to a subcommittee, yet TO be
named but 1t is very probable that both
Congressman Jones and Walker will be
selected. on account OF their familiarity
with the election laws OF Virginia.

Political Speeches.

Tallahassee, Fla, Sept. 29.-William a.
Weeks, populists candidate for governor,
and J. Asakirk williams, candidate of the
same party, for congress in the First
district, spoke here on Monday. After
going around and inviting people to turn
out and hear them, they started their
meeting with an audience of a baker 5
dozen, one-third of whom were colored.
The speakers were introduced by w. R.
Schrader, candidate for clerk on the lily
white ticket, which was made up by the
notorious negro, William Peils.
Williams is not much of an orator, but
he managed to talk an hour about banRs
corporations, transportation rates, etc.
and was not honored by any applause
Weeks is fluent talker, but decidedly
ignorant of public affairs He made q
straightout populist speech, in which he
was specially severe on millionaires and
bankers. But when he came to the dis
cussion of state matters, especially the
Okeechobee drainage scheme and lands in
general, his lack of knowledge on these
questions was distressing to those of his
audience who were familiar with all the
details, and understood the trusts to which
those lands were donated by the acts OF
congress.
Weeks spoke over an hour and his au-
dience was increased to about fifty He
told joke occasionally that brought forth
applause, but when he sees the returns
from Leon county next week, he will be
sick populist.
