Union" Accomplished.

An account published in yesterday $
Record Union respecting a trunk be-
longing to Wilson Butt, which disap-
peared in this city about two weeks

The expressman to whom the trunk
was turned over took it to the freight

orders being received for its disposal, 1t
remained there until, through the col
umns of the Record Union" the rail-

PITCHER HARVEY.
The Gilt Edge Twir1er Has Been
Signed by Pittsburg.

With Hughes in the box for the Balti-
mores and Harvey doing like duty for
Pittsburg, Sacramento will be well rep
resented in the big Eastern baseball
league. The latter has been engaged to
pitch by the iron workers.
There are many Sacramentans who
regard Harvey as even better pitcher
than Hughes, or at least one who will
hold out longer. He has proved himself
a clever. puzzling man in the box, and
the 81 800 he will receive for the rest of
the season is the highest price ever
known to have been paid new man.

dice) why the silver forces of North
Carolina, could not come together. We
need for the time being at least, a
North Carolina party, combining the sill
yer forces, the anti-monopoly, anti-gov-
eminent by injunction advocates, such a
party would get some following from the
Republican party, a large majority of
the Democratic party, and all of the
Populist party. Why not make the eff
fort?
Enclosed you will find copy of let
ter addressed and sent to the acting
chairman OF the Populist party, last
September, which will explains itself.
These We're my honest opinions then,
and | have undergone no material
change since that time. The situation
in North Carolina is serious, and 1t de-
mands prompt action, and it behooves
every patriotic citizen, no matter to
what political party he may belong, to
come to the rescue.
Truly yours.

Bryan last night made the following
statement for the Associated Press in
answer to the question whether, in his
judgment, the time had arrived for the
United States to intervene in. behalf of
Cuba and bring the war to an end:
Yes, the time for Intervention has ar
rived. Humanity demands that we shall
act. Cuba lies almost within sight Of
our shores. and the sufrerings of her
people cannot be ignored unless we, as
nation, have become so engrossed in
money-making as to be Indifferent to
distress.
''Spain might not resist Intervention;
it is to be hoped that she would recog-
nize the right of the United States to
act and Immediately withdraw from
Cuba: but whether she resents inter-
vention or not the United States must
perform a plain duty. Our own interests
justify intervention. Spain has gov
erned Cuba so badly as to excite con-
tinuous revolt. and after exciting revolt
has shown herself powerless to restore
order and enforce law upon the island"
