cngo to nisrMsH Enslnn.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l2.-Chairman But
Ter of the populst national committee
left for Chicago today to attend the con
ference of the populist committeeman to-
morrow. This meeting is expected to be
an important one. 1t probably viii deal
with the question of fusion between dem
ocr1ts and popUlists on the electoral tick
cts. There has been some criticism In GER
tain quarters of the course of the populist
committee in the matter of fusion and
especially In 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 rep
rCsentation. 1t is probable Senator But
Ter will make a full explanation OF his
course to the committee, with the view to
securing its endorsement, and that an EFFORT
will be made to have the committee agree
upon an address to the country. 1t is be-
lieved here Mr. Watson's letter in reg
to the vice presidential nomination VIII
not be made public until after the result
of the conference is known.
ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. IA special to the
Journal from Tomson says: Hon. Thomas
Il. Watson Is still confined to his room.
His physician, DR.. +. s. Harrison, informed
the Journal correspondent this morning that
while Mr. Watson was improving his throat
was still one complete mass of sores and
under no circumstances could he speak In
less than ten or twelve days and that II
was very doubtful If he could take the
stump again during the present campaign.
Prominent populsts in close touch with
him state that Mr. Watson intended To
make complete tour OF Kansas and Colo
RADIO with the intention of smashing the
present fusion arrangements In those two
states National Committeeman Reed will
meet the committee In Chicago and rep
resent Mr. Watson. The journal correspond
ent has received reliable information that
II fusion could be arranged for an electoral
ticket in Kansas and Colorado Mr.. Watson
would then bow to the ruling of the ma
tional committee on other matters and en-
ter actively into the campaign in the doubt
ful states. The condition of Mr.. Watson
throat, however makes it doubtful whether
he will he able to make any more speeches

ing for Political Settlement.

MAD COW RUNS AMUCK.
She Hurt u Boy, Chased Children and
Terrorized Many People.

She Hurt u Boy, Chased Children and
Terrorized Many People.
A brindle COW, with a long rope dang
ling from her horns raj amuck on X street
northeast, near Kendall Green, about 6:3O
O'Clock this morning, and painfully injured
Frederick Stutz, a small boy, who was sup
posed to have the animal in charge.
The COW is the property of a man named
Samstag, who lives on the Bladcnsburg
road. The boy was bringing the beast to
the wholesale cattle market to be sold.
The COW was separated from her calf last
evening, Stutz said, and since the separa-
ton she has been acting in a wild manner.
He started for this city with her about day
light and she proceeded quietly enough until
a dog barked and snapped al her heels on X
street Then the animal plunged forward
and ran along at a mad gallop.
The boy clung to the rope and was drag
ged along at almost express train speed.
A cOlored man said he sped along, hanging
to the rope like the tail of a kite. FL
nally stutz missed his footing and fen
heavily to the ground, being dragged some
distance and painfully cut and bruised
about the face and body.
After the maddened COW had succeeded
in getting loose from the lad She ran up
Eighth street, and with lowered horns
charged Il group Of colored children in front
of Isaac Gray's house. The children only
escaped being gored by running into Gray's
front yard. The frantic beast then dashed
out Eighth street, towards the green woods
beyond, and was last seen going wildly up
Boyce's hill towards Prince Georges county.
The mounted police have been requested to
look out for. the animal. The boys in
iuries were dressed by DIR. johnson.
