woLcorr.s LETTER.
a Warrington Correspondents Says he
Went on at Half Cock.


Washington, May 1.-The correspon-
dent Of Chicago paper says:
Senator Wolcott's letter announcing
that he will support the nominee Of the
st. Louis convention on any kind Of .
platform and advising the Republicans Of
his state to abide by the decision Of the
majority was written without premedfta.
ton or consultation with Senator Teller,
his colleague, or any Of the other silver
men In the senate with whom he has
been acting. and It rather upsets their
calculations. The effect Of his declara.
ton cannot yet be measured.
There was an understanding among the
silver Republicans that they should pre-
serve a discreet silence upon the subject
for the present until matters had shaped
themselves and all the delegates to the
St. Louis convention had been elected.
They agreed that they would dodge In
quirIes as to their opinions and intentions
and tell everybody that the time had not
vet come for them to take position. This
was for the purpose of preserving party
discipline and organization and securing
harmony upon state issues. In Colorado.
for example, Mr.. Teller and other Re-
publican leaders hoped to elect the candi-
dates for state offices and keep control Of
the legislature. although they did not ex-
pect that the electoral vote Of the state
would be cast for presidential ticket on
an anti.silver platform. The same pro
gramme was to be followed In Utah,
Idaho, Montana and other silver states.
But now Senator Wolcott, on the I'M
pulse of the moment, defines his position
and spoils the bluff which his silver asso-
ciates in the senate had been putting up
with the hope Of securing some modihca-
ton in the platform at st. Louis. They
are quite indignant at his Independence.
and think that he might at least have
consulted them before writing his letter.
It was only last Monday that they had q
conference. In which II was unanimously
agreed to preserve silence and keep up
the mystery. and wolcott was one Of
those who counseled such course. With.
In twenty.four hours afterward he made
his proclamation.
They do not accuse him Of treachery,
but simply Of indiscretion. Of acting upon
impulse. as he always does.
ED Wolcott never did d mean thing In
his lifc." said silver senator to-day.
"He could not do a mean thing II he tried.
but he always goes on half-cocked and ID
governed entirely by his impulses. There
fore. you never know where to fnd him
or what he Is going to do"
It IL considered doubtful now whether
Senator Teller will be able to carry out
his plan In Colorado with Wolcott com.
mitted to the Republican ticket and plat.
form. whatever 1t may bc.
II Is expected that Senators shoup
and Carter will sooner or later follow the
example OF Mr.. wolcott. No allurementa
that the Democrats can offer In the way
Of tnriff legislation. no degree Of d!sap-
pointment at the policy Of their party on
the silver question will intiace them to
leave the political associations In which,
they have been born and bred.

reach a crisis soon after the beginning
of the New Year, unless the Eastern
courts speedily agree with Judge Han
ford regarding unified set Of receivers
for the entire system. It is learned on
what appears to be good authority that
Receiver Burleigh has given the East
srn receivers to understand that he
will take complete control of the prop
erty within his jurisdiction some time
in January, if the courts do not agree
in the meantime. This means that Mr..
Burleigh will appoint his own general
officers to manage the property within
his jurisdiction, who will not report to
the present general Office at st. Paul
Evidently Intends to Force Matters.
It is impossible to gain any informa-
ton regarding Mr.. Burleigh's intention
further than his determination to oper-
ate the road entirely independent of
the St. Paul Offices. This means, Of
course, that he will not work in
thorough harmony with the Eastern
receivers, and also that Judge Hanford
has grown tired Of treating with the
Eastern judges for a unified receiver
ship. It means, too, Mr.. Burleigh con-
siders himself in position to force
matters to an amicable conclusion. He
is sole receiver for the property in Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho, and one Of
three receivers in Montana.

in the Taylor investigation and trial,
spent the day in this city. He stated
the bank would at he next term of
court institute proceedings to recover
from the state and from Illinois parties,
land to the value Of about $4,000. It
will be remembered that Taylor claimed
to have lost some $4,000 in the Gettys-
burg deal three months before his
fight, and that the state has levied on
the property belonging to the bank.
