WATSON AT GADsDEN.
He ReiterRtes His Statement That
He VIII Not withdraw.

Birmingham. Ala, Oct. ga special
from Gadsden, Ala, to the States-Herald
says: Tom Watson spoke here to-day TO
about 1000 people. He was driven around
during the day by Mayor Mitchell and
rendered the keys of the city. He spoke
for more than two hours in the open air.
He defended his position in refusing to
come down in favor of Mr.. Sewan. He
said that the democrats were responsi-
BILE for the situation here in Alabama and
In Georgia. Overtures had been made
there by the populists and they had oeen
turned down with scorn and contempt O.
b. Dean, the populist state chairman, had
made proposition to Gen. She1ey to take
i've electors and give the democrats six
but the proposition had never been con-
sidered In any of the democratic confer
ences. They said IL Bryan was defeated
II would be laid at his door. He denied
that the democrats themselves were re-
sponslble. He was not opposed to fusion
where II would result in insurlng the de-
feat OF the Mckinley electors. Therefore
II the democrats were In earnest for Bryan
and silver they should give and take
with the popullsts, who were willing to
meet them more than half way. II Bryan
was defeated the fault would lie with
the democratic leaders They know they
could not succeed without the votes of
100000 populists and they should have
been willing to divide electors. If the
democrats thought they could pull him
down they were badly mistaken, he would
carry his party to glorious victory or hon
orable defeat. No man should say that
he owned Tom Watson. No man could die
tate to him; no man could control his
opinion. He was in the fight to stay"
Mr.. Watson left on the / 80 train for Nash

CATHOLIC UNIVER SITY.
The Closing Session of the board of
Directors Very Brief.

Washington, Oct. 22.-The third and final
session of the board of directors of the
Catholic University of America, this
morning, was very brief, and the only
business transacted was that of changing
the annual meeting from the Wednesday
after Easter, which in practice has been
found generally inconvenient, to the Sec
ond Wednesday of October in order to
coincide with the annual meeting of the
archbishops. The board also issued the
following statement before adjourning:
''Phe board wishes 1t to be understood
by the public that there are absolutely
no factions or sectional differences
amongst the members. The election of
candidates for the rectorship was practi-
cally unanimous. To speak of the tri-
umph of this or that party, of conserva-
tism or liberalism. nationalism or Ameri-
canism, is to misrepresent the whole sit
uation. All the members of the board are
equally American In spirit They have
but one thought, and that is the welfare
of the university and its steady progress
to the highest Catholic education"

The Bulk of the Days Visitors TO
Canton Residents of Ohio.

tNhAOh ODlOs
Canton, o., Oct. 22--Maj. Mckinley
made six speeches to-day. Five of the
delegations were from Ohio and one from
the adjoining state of Indiana. The Ohio
people were so numerous and enthusias-
tic that Maj Mckinley told them it might
have been properly called Ohio day. The
weather was delightful. Maj. Mckinley
recognizing the fact that the arguments
are all in, made his speeches short, crisp
and inspiring. They elected generous and
at times tumultuous applause.
The notable delegation of the day was
the one from Marietta, the oldest town
In the state. gf the various delegations
were conspicuous for anything to-day It
was for the large number of men who ac-
companied them who have never voted
any other than the democratic ticket, but
who say they intend to support Mckinley
this year. 1t is estimated that nearly one
tenth of the visitors who came here to-
day are sound money democrats

REPUBLICAN RAsoALITY.
Chairman Butler Learns of a Plan 20
Buy the Election.


Washington, Oct. Ex-senator Marion
Butler of North Carolina, chairman Of
the populist committee. is said to be
about to issue a circular addressed to the
supporters of Mr.. Bryan to keep "every
'eye open," and to place cool, game men
on guard" to watch and expose game
which he says the republicans are con-
templating in the middle western states,
and which he describes as follows: "The
plan as now revealed IS for so much
money to be put into the hands of town
ship and ward managers, and 80 much
to be given for a special republican gain.
1t has been found impossible 10 buy
enough individual votes to carry the elec-
tion, and the plan forecasted is to be the
one. Instead OF votes the poll itself is
to be tampered with. Our information is
that this plan has already begun in Ohio"
Chairman Butler has not yet found Mr..
Watsons letter of acceptance.

TAXATION OF THE CENTRAL.
Argument Heard in the United States
Supreme Court.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Argument was
heard by the supreme court of the United
States to-day In a case involving the old
Central Railroad and Banking Company
of Georgia, the question at issue being
whether or not, under that charter certain
taxes levied for the years 1SS9-9O can be
collected by w. A. Wright, controller
general of the state. The railroad company
claims that the charter exempted 1t from
taxation on its roadbed and appurtenances.
The United States circuit court for the
southern district of Georgia, directed the
receivers of the road under Its juris-
diction, to pay the taxes claimed. From
this order the company and receivers ap-
pealed to the supreme court.

from per cent. to A per cent.
The Globe. in its financial aftlcle, says:
"The rise in the Bank of England's dis
count rate is not likely to affect trade,
though II will hurt imprudent specula-
tors, for a rise in the bank rate can stop
the American drain of gold the moment
it approaches the danger point. The

]. Andrus, secretary of the Arlington
Chemical Company of this city, who was
blown to pieces while in his office at 6S
Palisade avenue yesterday morning, seems
to be so far solved as to determine that
Andrus was the victim of murderer.
At first it was supposed that he either
lost his life while experimenting or was
killed by the explosion of a bomb attach
ment to his safe, intended for burglar
trap.
To-day, however, an electric battery
was found in the celler directly beneath
the scene of the explosion, which was
connected with wires running up through
the floor under Andrus' desk. The theory
now is that some enemy put an internal
machine in the office and set it off from
the outside of the building when Andrus
was alone,
