Watson Receives 81 Letter Which He
Thinks Threatens His Life.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Sept. 27.-The
following telegram has been received
here from Thomas E. Watson:
81 will return to Kansas and support
the Populist national ticket-Bryan and
Watson. The fusionists in Kansas
have bolted the national convention,
defied the national law of the party,
rebelled against the national commit
tee, and treated with contempt the ma
tional nominees. Sewan is no more
our candidate than Hobart. Democrats
are running Bryan in the mad attempt
to compel Populists to vote for Sewall.
Democratic managers should stand by
the St. Louis agreement, just as the
Populists did.

The German papers are also much stung
by the taunts of the Russian journals,
which are asking why it is that Germany,
tary greatness for war, now shows itself
to be more awed than any of the other
powers before the phantom of war as a
consequence of an attempt to coerce the
sultan. These journals continue their
haunting of Germany by declaring that
neither Austria nor Italy betrays such a
degree of nervous eagerness to hinder all
practical stops toward sowing the Turkish
problem, YET Germany's interests in the
mediterranean are only indirect.

A new story of the late John P.
Spaulding, illustrating his unlimited
generosity and original methods of dis
tributing it, was told the Saunterer the
other day.
The "sugar king" Of Broad street was
confirmed bachelor, as everybody we'll
knew. His brother. the late Mahlon d.
Spaulding, used to live in Beacon street,
and was the father of happy family.
At the birth of the first child word was
sent to the rich uncle that the boy had
been named after him, "John p. Spauld-
ing, I'd. " Uncle John responded with a
check for $40, 900. A couple Of years
later another heir was born, this time a
girl, and Uncle John was again notified
that the little daughter had been named
after him. This was a sticller for the
uncle, and he wrote for particulars. A
day Or two afterward he received a re-
ply, something in these words: "There
is really no mistake. We named our lit
tie daughter 'Spaulding you. ;"
Uncle John sent another $4,000 check.

The Other Side.

New YORK, April 20,-Philadelphia
bapers of recent date contained advertise
'nents requesting the names and ad-
dresses of holders Of Northern Pacific
preferred and common stock. These ad
Refreshments are signed by Biddle &
Ward, counselors at law and directors
n admiralty, Philadelphia. The adver-
tisements aleo contain the name of j. G.
johnson as counsel acting for Biddle g.
Ward. In statement signed by that
firm they says: "We feel that under ex-
listing circumstances stockholders of the
Northern Pacific Railroad company will
have to co operate for the protection of
their own rights without relying upon
tte company
The following correspondence between
Bddle g. Ward and Brayton Ives, presi-
dent of the Northern Pacific, forms the
basis for the call:
The correspondence opens with let
Ter dated at Philadelphia, March 6,
1896, signed by Biddle and Ward and
addressed to Brayton Ives, president Of
the Northern Pacific railroad company,
chairman of the protective committee,
etc., New York. This letter calls aften-
ton to circular of the protective COM
|mittee addressed to the stockholders of
the company, dated March 16, 1896, and
eigned by the committee and general
council of the company, which recon-
|mended preferred and common stock
holders to become parties to the reor-
|ganization agreement of March l6, 1896.
|Biddle and Ward then say:
"The shareholders seem to want us to
|be asked to sacrifice very valuable rights
land interests without sufficient cause or
adequate consideration, besides being
required to pay the respective assess
|ments demanded by the plan, or be de-
|prived Of all interest in the properties of
the COMPANY. We proceed to state
these objections and sacrifices in general
terms and shall be glad to have them
met"
