THAT WATSON CONFERENCE.
REED AND WASHBURN HAD A
PROPOSITION FROM JONES
TO SUBMIT.
'FEAR WATSON 5 ACCEPTANCE Letter
So They Photographed Him Not to Make
1t Pubic-A Conference With Chair
man Jones' Representative Will
Be Held Today,

Thomson, Ga, Oct. 19.-George f.
Washburn and ii. +. Reed members of
the populist national committee, left here
today after Il conference of two hours
with Hon. Thomas Watson. Reliable
information is at hand which shows that
one object of the conference was to sub
nit to Mr.. Watson some proposition
from Chairman Jones, the nature of
which both gentlemen refused to reveal.
1t develops that Chairman Jones has
agreed to go to Atlanta and meet Mr..
Watson, if the two committeeman, after
their arrival there, should think it neces-
sary, otherwise he would send a personal
representative who stands high in the
rouncils of the party. Another object
If the meeting was to induce Mr.. Wat
Ion to modify in some particulars his
letter Of acceptance, which the two COM
mitteemen had in their possession. The
contents Of the letter were known to the
populist committee at Chicago before the
recent address was issued and Commit
teeman Reed telegraphed Mr.. Watson
under no circumstances to give it to the
public until after the conference with
him.
Mr.. Watson thereupon consented to
hold it until his arrival. Mr.. Reed ap-
peared to be very much pleased with the
results of his visit and stated to poit-
zeal friends that Georgia populists were
very indignant that he, personal rep
resentative of Mr.. Watson, should have
signed the address issued recently by
the populst committee ut Chicago, but
their judgment and criticisms were pre-
mature because they did not have the
information he had when the address
was issued and intimated that his action
had met the full appreciation of Mr..
Watson.
Mr.. Watson leaves here tomorrow for
Atlanta, where he will meet the repre-
sentative of Chairman Jones.

The particular advantage OF the various
news STYLES of pockets are not even adj

unusual number of these deceitful gar

pose.
A woman's skirt is an ideal garment
for the use of the thieyish. A man. no
matter how clever II thief he may be. is
at decided disadvantage in this re-
spect His pockets are small and badly
arranged. Any bulky object slipped into
one of them is likely to make it bulge and
attract suspicion.
Beneath the easy folds of one of the
full skirts which are worn nowadays
there is ample room and perfect conceal
ment for scores of pockets of every con-
ceivable size and design

The ordinary forms of skirt pockets

ENGLISHMEN AT
TEND A PROTEST DEMON
STRATION IN LONDON.
4 Letter FROM GLADSTONE READ.
He Hoped Something Would Be Done
to Strengthen Lord Salisbury's
Hands-Says Sultan Has Re-
corded Final Condemnation,

London, Oct 19.-St. James hall was
packed with an audience of 1000 people
tonight, a large proportion of whom were
women, to take part in the demonstra-
ton of protest against the Armenian
massacres. Nearly 1000 people applied
for admission to the hall.
The Bishop of Boston presided instead
of the Duke of Westminster who wrote
regretting that ill health compelled him
to be absent.
A large number of the peerage and
prominent people sat on the platform.
Ten peers twenty-eight bishops and
number of deans and non-conformist
ministers wrote expressing their regret at
their inability to attend the meeting.
Intense enthusiasm was manifested by
those present, especially over the read
ing of letter from Mr.. Gladstone, ex-
pressing the hope that the meeting would
worthily crown the Armenian meetings
of the past two months. which, he said
were without Il parallel during his polit-
cal life. The great object Mr.. Glad
stone said, further, was to strengthen
l-olu hpttHSDuIS > HultlS anu StOD Int
series of massacres, which was probably
still unfinished, and to provide against
their renewal. AS he believed that
Lord Salisbury would use his powerful
position for the best. personally he OBJ
jected in the strongest manner to
abridging Lord Salsburys' discretion by
laying down this or that as things which
he ought not to do. 1t was wild para
doX without the support of reason or his

treaty rights to stop systematic massa-
cres, together with effective security
against Great Britains abuses for selfish
purposes, would provoke the hostilities of
one or more of the powers. TO adver-
Use beforehand in the ears of the great
assassin that Great Britains action
would cut down what the most backward
OF the six powers think to be sufficient
would be the abandonment of duty and
prudence and would be to doom the ma
tlonal movement to disaster. The con-
| cert of Europe, said Mr.. Gladstone. was
valuable and important. but such an
announcement would certainly be fol
lowed by its failure

The meeting unanimously adopted reso-

them; appealing TO the powers to CO.

creeds to assist in the succor of the help
