WATSON'S RAID ON THE WEST.
SENATOR JONES ANXIOUS TO HAVE
HIM RECALLED.
Report That the Georgian VIII Aban-
don His Western Trip Until After
the Election in This State.

A press dispatch from Washington
says: Senator Jones, chairman of the
democratic national committee, was a
busy man today, and when he goes back
to Chicago TO. morrow he hopes to carry
with him the positive assurance that Tom
Watson will ne called off of the western
circuit by the populistic managers. Wat

Ter this subject was considered with great
earnestness. AS a result Of the confer
ence between the democratic and the
populistic leaders the statement was Civ
en- out that Mr.. Watson will voluntarily
abandon his western trip and return to
Georgia until after the October election
IN his own state. Then he is to have free
rope to go wherever he chooses.
There we're other conferences with Sen
s'or Jones today of equal importance.
Senators Dubois and Teller arrived here
unexpectedly this morning, and by apre-
vious arrangement, met Senators Jones
and Butler. The failure of the demo
Gratis and populists of Idaho to keep the
"riginai compact, in behalf of the return
OF Senator Dubois to the senate, was the
subject of the conference. Senators Tel
er and Dubois, who are usually commu-
nicatiYe onpOlitical subjects. were mys-
teriously. S lent, but some of their friends
say that tie leaders will see TO it that
Senator Dubois receives just considera-
ton in any combination that may be
finally agreed upon in Idaho. Senator
Jones and the members of the democra-
tic committee, are anxious for Senators
Teller and Dubois, especially Senator
Teller, to go upon the stump for Bryan
in New York and other eastern states.
He is willing to do some campaigning in
the east, provided his personal friend and
l'tica lieutenant, Senator Dubois. is
taken care of. Senator Dubois has stood
BY Senator Teller in all of his recent con-
tests for free silver, and Senator Seller is
not the man to desert tried and trusted
friend in the hour of need.

REPUBLICAN FRAUD.
The Work of Hanna's Doodle in the North
wests


James Creelman in The N. Y. World.
The worst element in the campaign is
the part which Mark Hanna's fund is
playing. Candor compels me to give
the facts without regard to whether Mr..
Bryan's election would be a good thing or
bad thing. There is plenty of evidence,
in my opinion, to show that this is rapid
ly becoming the most corrupt and cor
rupting political struggle known to the
American people.
Bryan may be defeated, but the influ-
ence of money and of Mark Hanna's
methods upon the voters of Wisconsin,
in common with the voters of others
states, will not disappear after election
day.
Let me give one example. I speak of
matter know and understand. The
Reliance Machine Works, owned by the
EDWARD P, Allis Company, are situated
in Milwaukee. There are employed in
this establishment something like 1900
men. Here the Bryan sentiment is very
strong.
1t is an absolute fact that eighteen
workmen in this establishment are at
this moment on tie pay roll of the re-
publican state committee as secret poll
teal .agitators. Their companions are
ignorant of this fact and do not suspect
it.
The results that these men have IN in
fuence which they could not possibly
WELD were the truth known.
The republican committee has also, 1
am informed, upon it's pay rolls large
number of men in another establishment,
which employs about two thousand work
ingmen. In several of the factories here
gold standard arguments are pinned each
week to the envelopes containing wages
The republican committee has also sent
menin the mining districts of Wisconsin
to offer SIS IN Mexican silver for 50 Is in
American money.
1t is impossible to make an honest
statement of the political situation in
Wisconsin today without revealing these
facts, but Mckinley will carry the state
without doubt.

NEW YORK HERALD on COTTON.
Interesting Comment on the Crop and In
dNstries.

interesting Comment on the Crop and In
dNstries.
From The New York Herald.
The yield of cotton for the year ended
September was twenty-eight per cent
smaller than that OF the preceding
"oumper" season.
Completed statistics co u piled by the
Financial Chronicle bring out this fact
and show that the crop fell about three
hundred and sixty-fve thousand bales
below that of the year 1884.
About twelve months ago profitable
season in the cotton goods industry was
anticipated, but the Venezuela scare gave
shock to trade. Thensthe free silver
clamor caused depression and decreased
consumption until the mills at Fall River
and other points agreed to shut down or
otherwise restrict production.
With the Outturn of print cloths re-.
duced nearly one-half the demand does
not seem equal to even this reduced sun
Ply If the people emphatically sup
press the fifty-three cent dollar craze.
however an improvement in business
is inevitable. Exports of cotton goods
for the year were the largest on record.
Less was sent to Great Britain, but the
exports to China more than doubled.
While our exports of cotton manufact-
ures during the year aggregated nearly
seventeen million dollars, Indlas ship
ments exceeded forty millions
AS to the cotton crop now being har-
vested, tie area is larger than last years
and the plant had good star. During
the last six weeks. however, complaints
OF damage from heat and drought have
been current, and the government
BUREAUS monthly report issued yester-
day notes the average condition as the
lowest in any September for twenty-sev-
en- years.

A BABY WITH Two HEADS,
THEY ARE JOINED TOGETHER AT
THE BACK.
A Freak Of Nature That Has Aroused
Much Interest Among tue Med.
ical Fraternity. Alive
and Doing Wei.

A two-headed child is causing great
doal OF interest in the vicinity of the
Manchester mills, says the Macon Tele-
graph.
The child was born ON Sunday and
since then the people in the neighbor-
hood have talked of nothing but the
strange freak of nature. The little babe.
who is 50 unusually we'll blessed with
heads, is male. It's father and mother
are Mr.. and Mrs. John BRYAN. verv in
telllgent and respectable factory people.
The child, which was seen by Tele-
graph reporter, isa well developed child.
and is of normal size and shape but for
the head, which is two heads. The
two heads are exactly the same size and
about the same shape.
Only one of the heads is Joined d.
rectly to the body of the child. The
other head is joined to the back of the
normal head, or the one attached to the
body of the child. The heads are Joined
together at the center of the back of
each head and the two faees are looking
IN opposite directions. The head which
is joined to the body is well formed as
to features and its eyes, nose, mouth.
ears, etc., are as we'll developed as on
any child of the same age. The other
head, however, has no developed feat
ures at all. The back of the head is
covered with hair and looks like the tn
head, but there are no eyes, and the only
appearance of eyes, nose and mouth are
Uadeveloped marks which look a little
winter than the surrounding flesh. This
head is, as stated, exactly the same size
and shape as the other head.
OF the several physicians who saw the
child none OF them had seen a parallel
case in their whole experience. A num-
b ar of photographs will be taken of the
child today for the -nedicaf ,urnals. 1t
is understood that the doctors are con-
sidering the advisability of having an
operation performed on the child and
remove the superfuous growth, but this
is regarded by some as wild idea, as
they say it would result in the certain
death of the child. Ia the meantime

along we'll enough. The baby does not
seem to be troubled by the plurality of
