The likeness of Mr.. Armstrong to

that; so that they all had a magnificent

WATSON INTERVIEWED.
Says He Would Lose His Head Before
Giving in TO Sewall.

New York. Oct 4.-The World will
print tomorrow an interview with Hon.
Thomas Watson. the populist candidate
for vice president, which is much the
same as Mr.. Watsons recent writings.
I'D lay my head on the block before
I'd retire from the race to make way
for plutocrat. a bondholder. a national
banker and protectionist like Mr.. Sew
all"
The interview continues:
If Mr.. Sewall is willing to get off the
ticket. | believe that even now there is
a chance to elect Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Bry-
an and | could at once make n tour to-
gether. and inside of ten days we might
restore thousands of votes
How could Mr.. Sewall be gotten off
the ticket:'
1T would be easy enough. The DEM
ocratic national committee could go to
him and say: Mr.. Sewall, you are a
menace to the ticket: you are endanger-
ing the chances of Mr.. Bryan.
There would be nothing TO do but re-
sign. If he wishes to see Mr.. Bryan
elected he will retire immediately
Mr.. Watson relates that Chairman
Butler of the populist committee asked
to see the notes of the first speech he
was to deliver. and coming to the at
tack on Mr.. Sewall begged him TO omit
il. Thereupon Mr.. Watson threatened
TO abandon the stump. and Mr.. Butler
relented.

concluded during the stay of Emperor
Francis Joseph at Bucharest, binding
both powers to prevent Russia from
crossing the Danube. 1t is further stated
that gigantic engineering scheme was
also considered at Bucharest, the plan
being TO connect Bucharest with the
Black sea by canal. and to make Bucha-
rest a sea fortress and port.
After long discussion the new Tunis-
ian treaty between France and Italy
has been signed. thus solving one of the
most ticklish questions between the two
countries. the adjustment of which
would have been impossible little while
ago. Italy. under the new treaty, sur
renders her rights to try her own sub
jects in her own courts in Tunis, and re-
ceives in exchange commercial conces-
sions. among which is the right to have
Italian vessels admitted TO French ports
under the same conditions as French
vessels, Italy making similar concessions
to France.
