Kansas City, Nov. 16.-William ]. Bry-
an was in Kansas City short while this
morning, arriving at o'clock from Lin
coin and leaving at 9:45 for two weeks
hunting and fishing trip in the Ozarks
He will join a party consisting of Gov.
w. j. Stone, Senator James K. Jones. of
Arkansas; Daniel w. Campau, of Michi-
gan; George H. McCann, of Springfield,
Mo-; Hon. Samuel B. Cook, of Mexico;
Maj. Harvey W. Salmon, of Clinton, Mo-;
and Col. M. C. Wetmore, of St. Louis
The two weeks will be spent upon 1000
acre game reserve in Taney county, right
in the heart of the Ozarks. The reserve
is stocked with deer bear, turkey and
quail.
During his brief stay in this city Mr..
Bryan gave the Southern Associated
Press representative a snort interview.
He said:
"I have no intention of removing from
Lincoln | see no necessity for 1t. L pro-
pose to do all can for the cause of free
silver 1 don't want to be regarded as
a leader but simply as an ordinary work.
er, confident that the sentiments | ad-
vocate mean prosperity for the country.
The cause is stronger today than ever
and will grow daily. When the people
are enlightened on a just cause, they Will
see its merit. Education can do nothing
to hurt the cause of silver. This year, We
got the heaviest vote in states where free
silver had been longest discussed. Where
1t has been presented to the people only
in limited way 1t did not do as well.
kentucky Is an instance. While the
democrats lost 5000 votes, the vote was
almost tie. This shows the result of the
silver cause. The people are seeing the
light and will learn for themselves.
1.-THE gold democrats, II they come back
to the democratic party, must come as
silver men. There is no room for two
republican parties in this country. The
gold democrats cannot come back to the
party and run it on republican IDEAS
They left because of the platform, called
me a populist long before the Chicago
convention, and unless they have chang
ed their views, must stay with the repub-
lieans The democratic party Is commit
ted to silver and will continue to fight for
1t.
Mr. Bryan is looking we'll and outside
of his voice, which is yet weak, Is In re-
markably good health.

WATS0N'S 'SLETTER WITHHELD
On the Grounds of Damaging the Cause Of
the People.
VAS HELD FOR NECESSARY POSTAGE
Admonished Populists Not to Sup
port the Joint Electoral Ticket
His Letter.

Washington, Nov. Ex-senator Marion
Butler. chairman of the populst national
campaign committee, today made public
the following letter, which he addressed
to Mr.. Watson two days after the receipt
of his letter of acceptance:
washington, Oct. 26-Hon Thomas e.
Watson Thomson, Ga. Dear Sir:-Your
letter of acceptance was received Satur-
day night. 1t has been detained in the
postoffice for want of sufficient postage.
you, in effect, advise popuists not to
support the joint electoral tickets that
have been arranged in large number of
states. Is it possible that you fully ap-
preciate the effect of such advice? At
least upon reflection, you must know
that If enough populists should follow
such advice, 1t would mean the defeat of
Bryan and the election of Mckinley. Be-
sides. If your advice should be followed
by enough popuists, the peoples party
would not have single elector In the
electoral college. In the states where we
have joint electoral tickets. we will get
every elector that we do get; and, besides,
1t is in those states where we still get the
bulk, If not all, of the peoples party con-
gressmen. In your own state, and other
states which have followed your advice
against electoral tickets, we will not get
single elector, and l fear not many con-
gressmen, IL any.
You certainly cannot mean, however
much you may have favored the middle-
of-the-road policy in the beginning, to
advise your friends to do that which at
this time would be the most effective
agency in placing in power Mckinley
and his backers--the trusts and monopo-
lies.
Can any personal or party injustice,
however great, Justify US in being re-
placing in power the stock jobbers, mo-
nopolists trusts, the British gold ring,
and all of the combined robbers of the
people and enemies OF good government?
In the name of outraged and suffering
humanity, whose prayers today go up
from millions of homes for William j.
Bryan, In his heroic and marvellous strug1
gle against the minions of corporate
greed and the hellish gold conspiracy, let
us sink every other consideration and
hold up our heads and do the full duty of
Americans and patriots. Let us rememr
ber that it is a suffering people and O.
betrayed republic, and not democratic
politicians, that today call for our help
and demand our services. Bryan will be
elected and the government redeemed if
every patriot does his duty. Let us do
ours.
Therefore, beseech you to change at
least that part of your letter which gives
advice which, II followed would surely
help the common enemy.
''If you do not, then you, yourself, must
assume the responsibility of giving such
q document to the public at this time
yours truly,
MARION BUTLER"

New York, Nov. 16.-Among the pas

to run her across the strait to Key West,
but the water gained go rapidly that at
5 a. m. they abandoned the steamer,
which shortly afterwards sank In deep
water. At Z a. m. the shipwrecked sea-
men landed on the Cuban coast, about
sixty miles west of Havana, where they
fell into the hands of Spanish soldiers.
The Spaniards believing them to be fill-
busters from the American coast, treated
the prisoners harshly, threatening to
shoot all hands.
Finally they were taken to Havana.

British consul, who sent them to New

Safely Landed Behind the Bars-Con-
fessed Their Crimes.
Numerous reports of attempted high
way robberies In the heart of the city
have been made of late and efforts have
frequently been made to apprehend the
guilty parties. Sunday night officers
Mcdonald and Perdue arrested two ne
groes, Burwell Graham and John Pur-
sey, on suspicion Of being the much want
ed personages. Later Officers Bodeker,
Duncan and Swanton ran in Henry
Thomas another negro, on the same
charge.
Two of the negroes made partial con-
fession of having made an assault with
intent to rob on an Italian at Avenue III
and Seventeenth street, and the other ac-
knowledged the whole thing, giving
away his partners who proved to be the
other two. One of the negroes was taken
before Mrs. E. Gluck, who fully identified
him as being the negro who attempted to
snatch her purse. The negro said the
reason he failed to get it was because she
hit too hard. M
