Reed Have 1t.

Reed Have It,
Thomson, Ga, Oct. 19-George T.
Nashburn and II. w. Reed, members of
the Populist national committee, left this
place tD-day after a conference of twenty
four hours with Hon. Thomas Il. Watson.
Reliable information is ut hand which
shows that one object of the conference
was tn submit to Mr.. Watson some prop
ositions from Chairman Jones, the nature
of which both gentlemen refused to re-
veal. 1t developes that Chairmap Jones
had agreed to go to Atlanta and meet Mr.
Watson if the two committeeman upon
their arrival here should think it neces,
sary: otherwise he would send personal
representative who stands high in the
councils of the party Another object of
the meeting was to induce Mr.. Watson
to modify iii some particulars his letter
of acceptance, which the two committee
men had in their possession. The contents
of the letter were known to the Populist
committee mt Chicago before the recent
address was issued and Committeeman
Reed telegraphed Mr.. Watson under no
circumstances to give it to the public
until after conference with him.
Mr.. Watson thereupon consented to
hold it until his arrival. Mr.. Reed APP
peared to he very much pleased with the
results of his visit and stated to political
friends that Georgia PopulistS were very
indignant that he, IL personal representa-
tive of Mr.. Watson, should have signed
the address issued recently by the Popu-
list committee mt Chicago, but their judg-
ment and criticisms were premature be-
cause they did not have the information
he had when the address was issued and
intimated that his action had met the full
appreciation of Mr.. Watson. Mr. Watson
leaves here tomorrow for Atlanta, where
he will meet the representative of Chair
man Jones.

CHINESE UPHEAVAL LIKELY.
REFORM PARTY READY TO BEGIN
A REVOLUTION.
Present Dynasty Will Be Asked to
Step Down Off the Throne
Worldwide Conspiracy.

Chicago, Dec. 6.-According to
Wong Chin Foo, editor of the Chinese
News in this city, China is ON the eve
of an upheaval such as is now going On
in Cuba The gist OF his statement is
that there is in the floWery king
dom a society which is calle"
Hing Chang Wong which is allied to
the liberty league of the Americanized
Cinnamon in this country, and to
similar organization in England. He
said that the object of the organization
was to do. away with the exclusiveness
of the Chinese kingdom, and to open
it up to imodern civilization. The
present dynasty, according to Wong
Ching Foo, will be asked to get out
and if it refuses it will be put out.
Only peaceable methods will first be
employed and if these are not sue
cessful then an appeal will be made
to arms and England and the United
States will be asked to recognize the
reform party as belligerents. The
reform movement is scheduled to be-
gin active operations in the very
near future.
