CONFERENCE OF poPULIsTs.
MT. watson Too III to Attend, but VIII
Send n Letter

WASHINGTON Oct Ex-senator Butler
chairman of the Populist national commit
tee. left for Chicago to-day to attend the
conference of Populist committeeman to-
morrow. This meeting is expected to be an
important one. 1t probably will deal with
the question of fusion between Democrats
and Popu1ists on the electoral ticket There
has been some criticism in certain quarters
OF the course of the Populst committee in
the matter of fusion, especially in the States
OF Colorado and Kansas, in which States Mr..
Watson receives no recognition There may
be an effort to secure a change in those
States so as to give Watson representa-
tion. 1t is probable that Mr. Butler will
make full explanation of his course to
the committee with the view to securing
Its Endorsement. and that effort will be
made to have the committee agree on an
address to the country. 1t is believed here
that Mr.. Watsons letter In regard to the
vice presidential nomination will not he
made public until after the result of the
conference Is known.
Mr. watson is still confined to his room
and ACTING under the advice of his physi-
cian, DR.: Harrison. The latter said to-day
that while Mr.. Watson was improving his
throat was still one complete mass of sores,
and under no cfrcumst tances could he speak
In less than ten or twelve days and that
1t was very doubtful IL he could take the
stump again during the present campaign.
Mr.. Watson intended to make a complete
tour. of Kansas and Colorado with the in
tention of smashing the present fusion ar
rangeMents in those two States 1t devel-
OPS that National Committeeman Reed last
week informed Senator Butler by wire that
unless some division. such as Mr. Watson
desired. was made there would be trouble
IN those two States. Senator Butler replied
3 that he was powerless to do anything. but
that the national committee would meet in
Cnicago some time in the near future and
ask Mr.. Watson to meet them there. II
was finally determined that Mr.. Reed would
inset the committee in Chicago and would
represent Mr. Watson. II a fusion could
be arranged for an electoral ticket in Kan
sas and Colorado Mr. Watson would bow
TO- the ruling of the national committee on
other matters and enter actively into the
campaign in the doubtful States. The con-
ditlcn OF Mr. Watsons throat, however
makes IL doubtful whether he will be able
to make any more sDeeches -

SUBJECT.
Editor Of he Registcr This gas APP
pears to excite the curiosity of every
body. II looks In the direction of dis
placing ordinary gas and electric light
principally on account of the cheapness
and the superiority of the light it pro-
duces. One ton of carbide will, it is
claimed, produce as much light AS 264 900
cubic feet of common gas, and the cost of
the ton is about $50. 1t is said that
acetylene gas is to be manufactured in at
least 2 States and the contracts for erect
ing the works have been made. The Chic
ago gas trust has purchased the right to
the exclusive use of it in the State Of llli-
nos, paving a million dollars for it, and
the other rights were sold for large fig
ures. The light is said to be equal to
sunlight. 1t is portable in solid or liquid
form and is claimed to be far less eXplo-
sive and less poisonous to inhale than or
dnary gas. There is little doubt that elec-
trc lighting must go IN the near future.
The Chicago gas trust proposes TO make
the substance from which the gas is pro-
duced, using the power of Niagara Falls.
Their plant is in process of construction.

Nacted to be built in other States, looks

effects follow its inhalation; but time will
tell. That the gas is explosive is not dis
puted. The question is, Is it more expIo-
sive than common gas? We do not yet
know.
The suggestions in your editorial of
last week are all right and timely. The
question OF the cost of manufacturing
the calcium carbide is a grave one. as
the cheapness of the LIGHT depends upon
how that question is settled. hope the
trustees will look the matter up careful
