NASHVILLE, TENN, Oct. 23.-PopuIist
candidate Thomas Z. Watson was met
here to-day by National Populist Com
mitteeman Washburn, in con junction
with local Populists, and held confer
ence lasting several hours. All those in
the conference are very close-mouthed
about what was done. Mr.. Washburn said
he simply laid before Mr.. Watson the re-
suit of his conference with Chairman
Jones. He said since the conference with
Chairman Jones fusion had been refused
Popuiists IN several States, and therefore
nothing of any import occurred to-day.
He said that things would remain in statu
quo to the end OF the campaign.
Candidate Watson spoke here tonight
to an audience of 1000. lie reiterated his
opposition to fusion and attacked Mr..
Sewall. He said he proposed TO do all he
could to elect Bryan, but could not with
out violation of principles assist in the
election of Sewall.
1t is believed that as result of the con-
ference between Populist Committeeman
Washburn, acting for Senator Jones, and
PopuliSt Com mitteeman Reed of Georgia
and Thomas E. Watson, that Watson Will
withdraw.
The three were in conference all day and
again tonight after Watson's speech. Mr..
Watson was called out of the conference
by reporter and asked if he intended to
withdraw. He absolutely declined to say
anything one way or the other, but added
that he might have something important
TO say tomorrow

CONSIDERIND|AN SCHOOLS
Cardinal Gibbons Confers With
Archbishops Ryan and
Kain.
AS to the Catholic University There
Is Now the Utmost Harmony
in Affairs.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Oct. 23.-Car6inal
Gibbons and two other prelates of the
Catholic church-Archb bishops Ryan and
Kain-held conference in this city to-day
to further consider the subject of Indian
schools. In Washington yesterday Mon
signor Stephan, head of the Catholic
Bureau of Indian Missions. appeared be-
fore the churchmen and made statement
of the condition of the schools under its
charge, with view to determining what
course shall be taken when Government
aid is Withdrawn on July 1 next. He re-
ported that S1ss, ,22S of Government money
was available this year, which is so per
cent reduction from last year.
The Cardinal announced at the close OF
the conference that about $50, 600 had been
apportioned among the Indian aud negro
schools of the country. but declined to
give details of the apportionment. His
Eminence regrets that the impression has
gone out that there were any aissensions
in the directorate of the Catholic Univer-
atty.
at is due to the university" he says,
"that these ideas should be corrected, and
that the true state of affairs should be
shown.
"As the result OF the affair, from the re-
moval of Bishop Keane until the conclu-
sion of the meeting of the Archbishops
yesterday, there was more unanimity of
opinion, more friendly feeling and more
harmony among the prelates and board
than has been in evidence for some time.
"Whatever difference may have been in
the past, or may be in the future, it is as
sured that there are none existing now.
This gives strong hopes that the lines SO
sharply drawn Immediately after the re.
moval of Bishop Keane will entirely disap-
pear 1t will be the earnest effort of all
the members of the hierarchy to see that
this is done"

DECATUR, IND, Oct. 23.-The State
meeting of the Pentecostal band is now
in progress at Bluffton, and is creating
no little excitement. They have peculiar

floor until they can be heard for squares.
This was kept up all night and yesterday

sistance. One man lay for hours in a
trance with his arm rigid IN the air. They

DIsGRACEFUL 10 KENTUCKY.
Sentiment of the Indignities offered
Carlisle bu Siiuerftes.


Carlisle 6y SiiUerftes.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 23.-The
treatment OF Secretary Carlisle at Coving-
ton last night was the subject of earnest
talk among politicians of both parties in
this city to-day. Democratic leaders de-
nounce and disavow the actions of those
who assaulted the Secretary, and Republic
cans, while condemning the acts COM
mitted, profess the belief that the insult
will help the cause of sound money in
that State and elsewhere.
"The conduct of the crowd at Secre-
tary Carlisle's meeting in Covington last
night" said Chairman Babcock of the
Republican Congressional Committee,
cannot be condemned in terms too Sc
we're. Secretary Carlisle is an honored son
of that State, one of her representative
citizens, and went there to speak for the
cause in which he believed. He was en-
titled to decent treatment under any cir
cumstances, but especially was he entitled
to it in his own home town and among
the people with whom he was personally
acquainted. The conduct of the crowd in
assaulting the Secretary was an attack
not only upon the man, but upon the
high office lie holds"
This rowdyism, he said, will lose the
party represented by the men who COM
mitted this dastardly attack thousands of
votes.
CHICAGO, I'LL, Oct. 23.-Chairman By
mum of the National Democratic Party
Campaign Committee returned to head
quarters after an a bsence of several days
i'll Ind ana making speeches. He said
change of no mean proportions was OBJ
servabe throughou the State in favor of
the gold advocates, and that every day
would only add to the assured victory by
majority larger than ever before given
in Indiana at q Presidential election.
The indignities offered to Secretary Car
Isle in Covington las. night were dis
cussed at headquarters and the consensus
of opinion was that such treatment wonld
do more good to the Palmer ticket than
anything which has happened since the
campaign opened. Vice-Chairman Hop
kins said:
sit was an outrage, pure and simp pie,
and one that will be severely rebukeu by
the voters of Kentucky, as well as the
Nation, at the polls. While / don't say
that the assault was premeditated by the
leaders of the silver faction, do claim
they must have noticed that something OF
the sort was going 10 happen, and, there
fore, ought to have taken precautions to
prevent it. 1t seems almost impossible
that any crowd of Kentuckians could so
insult such distinguished fellow-citlzen."
Generals Palmer and Buckner will spend
one day in BANDS Congressional district
in Missouri, and another day in ST. Louis
General Buckner wired headquarters to-
day asking to be relieved from speaking
in Lincoln. Nebr., and the itinerary will
be changed accordingly in Nebraska.

the Supreme Costrt
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 23.-Just
before the Supreme Court of the United
States adjourned this afternoon the CT am
Der took on the appearance of carshop,
with that part of it where air brakes are
put on in full operation. This was due to
the exhibits made by counsel in the case
of the Westinghouse Air-brake Company
ct al. The litigation arose over the manu-.
factnre of an air brake for freight trains
by the Boyden Company, which the West
inghouse Company claimed was an in
fringement of their patent. The Court OF
Appeals for the Fourth Circuit decided
against the Westing house Com pany, hold
ing that there was no infringement OF two
claims of their patent, and that said
claim was fatally defective. The judg.
ment was in conflict with the decision OF
the Second Circuit Court of Appeals,
which sustained the validity of the patent.
The Supreme Court at it's last term or
dered the case brought before it for re-
view and advanced it on the docket for an
early hearing this term. George H.
Christy, counsel for the Westinghouse
Company, began the argument. but had
not concluded when the court adjourned.

EARLY STRAWBERRIES.
Some of the Varieties Which Have Given
Satisfactory Results.

Some of the Varieties Which Have Given
Satisfactory Results.
The very early strawberry fighting
for life amid the quickly alternating eX-
tremes Of heat and cold of early spring
is apt to be generally inferior to varie-
ties ripening later and under more ia
yorable conditions. Laboring under so
many disadvantages from weather it
must have all the advantages that soil
can give to attain any d"gree of excel
lcnce. With all these advantages many
more early Strawberries prove failures
than any other kind. After many years
experience and the testing of many
hundreds of varieties, L find that the
Murray and the Improved Westbrooll
ere the best. l have tested them fully.
Both ripen their fruit before Crescent
or such varieties called early-begin
to ripen at all. AS experienced growers
know, this is very early indeed. Both
are very prolific, of the most perfect
and brilliant red, and about the finest
and best shippers l ever saw. Their
size is good averaging with Crescent.
Being pistillates they should have
Meek's Early planted every fourth row
as pollenzers. Eleanor have not fully
tested, but experienced and reliable
growers pronounce it the earliest and
most valuable berry known. But like
ell very early varieties the above must
have rich soil and clean culture. One
hundred bushels of cotton seed r half
a ton of cotton seed meal, CT $50 pounds
Of nitrate of soda, or rs good loads of
stable manure, 300 pounds dissolved
bone or acid phosphate and $50 pounds
sulphate of potash, or 1CG bushels un-
leacned wood ashes per acre, thorough
ly plowed and narrowed in make splen
did crops of them on almost any soil.
Pipening so early and being so finn and
highly colored they command very high
prices.-O. w. Blacknall. in Prairie
