NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-THE Evening
Sun publishes the following:
1t is said by well informed people
that negotiations are pending between
the American Tobacco company and
one or both of it's large competitors in
st. Louis-Liggett and Myers and the
Drummond company. The object is
to reach an understanding which will
terminate the present war between
the rival interests on plug tobacco and
cigarettes.
Present indications are that the nego-
tiations have made such progress that
developments of Importance may be ex-
pected at any moment. The St. Louis
concerna are understood to be in pO-
sition which permits the contamination
of a deal, or even an absolute transfer
of control.
1t is also said that the P. Lorillard
company is in a position to sell out
its property. as the period of three
years for which the organizers agreed
to tie up their common stock has now
expired Whether the negotiations now
pending embrace the last named COM
pany is not known with certainty.

CINCINNATI, Oct. ia special to
the Post from Atlanta, Ga, says:
Thomas e. Watson says editorially
today that it looks like the Democratic
managers wish TO defeat Bryan or else
they woefully lack wisdom, having
done all they could to drive away the
Populist vote.
Pie has been plentifully dished out
to the pie hunters" says he. In North
Carolina, Kansas and Colorado Popufist
principles have been ignored and the
national ticket set aside. Bryan is be-
ing slaughtered by his own managers.
They are sacrificing him to eastern
money powers as represented by Sewall
and their own desperate determination
to wreck the Peoples party"
Another editorial roasts Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, saying he was a
party to the crime of 49," and calling
him The Breckenridge" of the senate.

letter was received from him making
a confession which fully substantiates
the apprehensions of even those who
feared the worst.
The letter was dated at Philadelphia
and was addressed to his wife.
The most startling information the
letter contained was the assertion that
Mr. Rambusch contemplated taking
his own life. In fact, it is believed
that he expected to be dead before the
letter reached Juneau.
Today's developments in the case
Have shown that Rambusch had oper-
ated with a boldness that is startling.
This morning a set of keys was found
which proved to be duplicates for all
the offices and vaults in the court
house. and the further discovery was

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 15.-The
recent declaration by Arch
bishop Ireland for rhe gold
standard, has aroused the
clergy of his faith in this city,
who have hitherto kept out of
the turmoil of politics. Arch
bishop Kaine, who is known to
sympathize with the free silver
cause, had only this to say:

a politician"
Father Phelan. editor of the
Western Waterman, answers
TIE archbishop of St. Paul in
that paper soday. Following are
extracts from the editorial:

Archbishop Ireland is a good

a poor banker among the

Archbishop Ireland, intimate
that he is on the Republican ma

He gets nothing for his work
in the cause of gold.
THE great tribune of other

borrowed a half million dollars.
IF the cause were not SO
hopeless, he might
