T0WNE WITHDRAWS
As Vice Presidential! Candidate
on PopuIist Ticket.
Cannot Support Democratic Ticket and
Run in Opposition TO It.
So Pulls Out to Give Bryan and Stevenson
Clear Track.

Duluth, Mimi. Aug. Former Con-
gresham Charles a. Towne. who was
nominated for the Vice Presidency by
the Populist national convention. held
at SIOUX Falls in May, today, sent a
| letter to the committee of notification
The letter is addressed to Hon. T.. NJ
I.ingdal, chairman, and the members
of the committee on notification Of the
candidate for Vice President of the
Peoples party national convention
held at Sioux Falls. S. d., May and
10. After reviewing the movements
and the various conventions and the
causes leading UP to the present situ-
alton in a historical way Mr.. Towne
said:
1T was, of course, the expectation
Of your convention that its nomination
fer the Vice Presidency would prove
acceptable to parties called to meet in
Kansas City, on the Attn of July. The
Silver Republicans. 1880 delegates. rep
resenting rs states and territories,
were indeed eager to name the ticket
chosen at Sioux Falls; but to the Dem
ocratic convention another course
commended itself. The name of your
nominee was presented to that conyen-
ton and was received with remarkable
demonstrations Of approval by the en-
ormous number Of citizen spectators
and with the utmost respect by the del
egates.
But geographical considerations and
the fact that in certain parts OF the
country il was deemed wise to defer TO
sentiment demanding that the candi-
date should be a man already identi-
fled with the Democratic organization,
not only by holding it's principles and
advocating its cause, but also by name
and profession, determined the selec-
ton of the Hon. Adlai l.. Stevenson
of Illinois, a man of unimpeachable
character and of ripe political exper-
fence, who, as member of Congress
more than 20 years ago, was a close
associate and co-laborer of Gen. J. b. !
Weaver and other great leaders in the
reform political movements of that day
and who, as Vice President from 1893 to
1897, distinguished himself by rebeling
against the betrayal of Democratic |
principles by President Cleveland.
When Mr.. Stevenson had been nom !
1inated what was it my duty to do?
My name had gone before the conven
ton along with his and / had been |
beaten. The nomination had been made !
decisively and with absolute fairness. |
Manifestly it was my duty to support !
that nomination. | went before the /
Silver Republican convention and sue
ceeded in persuading it not to nomin- /
ate me and the Vice Presidential mat I
ter was finally referred to the Silver I
Republican national committee with /
full powers. Later in the night this l
committee placed the name Of Mr.. /
Stevenson on it's ticket as candidate |
for Vice President.

A MOTHERS LOVE.
Mrs. Dan'I Spearing, Bryant's
Pond, Burned 10 Death.
Rut Before Expiring, and Suffering the
Most Excruciating Agony,
CrawIs Quarter Mile on Hands and Knees 10
Place Baby in Safety.

Lewiston. Me, Aug. IA Bryant
Pond special TO the Lewiston Journal
says:
With every shred Of her garments
burned from her body. with her flesh
charred to crisp, suffering hideous
agony and knowing her death to be
near Young mother crawled and
dragged herself for d quarter of a mile,
last evening, in order to place her baby
in kindly hands ere she died.
The accident is the most shocking oc-
currence oxford county has reported
for many years.
Some weeks ago, young man from
Bethel. Daniel Spearng, took posses
sion Of an unoccupied house near the
village of Bryant's Pond and installed
there his young wife and his babe.
Mrs. Spearing was barely 20 years old.
Spearing was one of a crew hired 10
get out ship knees and his wife did
the cooking for the men.
Monday, shortly after o'clock in the
afternoon, she commenced to get sup
per. using an old oil stove for the pur-
puse. Her baby was playing near on
the floor As she was bending over the
stove it suddenly exploded and the
blazing oil was thrown in every direc-
ton. Much oft was dashed over thu
garments Of the unfortunate young
women and in moment she was on
fire from head to foot.
No one was there to help her. Her
husband and the men had not return
ed She was unable to do anything To
extinguish the flames. Every shred Of
her clothing was destroyed except the
collar about her throat. Her flesh was
blackened until it bore no resemblance
to the flesh of a human being. Her
sufferings We're such as may not be
imagined.
Mrs. Spearing knew that her hus-
band would not be home until late. She
feared that she would die there at once
and that her baby would be left alone
with night coming on. The nearest
house was fully quarter of a mile
away.
She took her baby in her arms and
bravely started to reach the next house
as her cries had failed to bring any
one. She could not stand. Supporting
her child as best she could and with
agony that cannot be comprehended,
the mother crawled on her blackened
knees and dragged herself over the
ground to the next house
II was dark when she reached there
faintins and only partially conscious.
Physicians were Immediately summon
ed. but she had been so badly burned
that they could do nothing. She died
at 4 o'clock Tuesday morning, her
death being a merciful release from
sufferings so excruciating that those
who were present could barely endure
to look upon her agony.

Another cablegran came to the state
department, late this afternoon. from
Minister COnger Pekin-the second
that has been received direct from him
since June u. 1t is the first which has
come direct from the minister since tn,
above date. the other having been re-
ceiNed through the intermediary of the
Chinese minister here, Mr. WI So
important were the statements con-
tanned in today's dispatch that a con
ference was held by wire between sew
eral of the officials here and the Presi-
dent at Canton, lasting for several
hours. AT its conclusion the cablegram
from Mr.. Conger was made public as
above.
The cablegram came in the official
cipher of the department. State de-
partment officials say it may be a date
not earlier than July 50 and perhaps
not later than Aug. ?. 1t is checked
by the telegraph company as having
been put on the wires at Isl Nan. a
large city about so miles southeast Of
Pekin, Aug. I.
Those who were at the White Housa
in conference with the President in
cluded Acting Secretary Adee of the
state department, Secretary Root and
Adjutant General Corbin. What the
result of the conference was the Of
icials decline to say.
The officials have been led to be,
lieve from the more recent dispatches
that the condition of the legationers
was much improved. but today's ad-
vices show a very different aspect OF
affairs.
Secretary Root stated. late tonight
that so far as he was aware there
would be no change in the Presidents
intentions to return to Washington
Aug. Is.
The word "Yamen'' following the
name of the city Isl Nan, at which the
from Mr.. Conger was put
on the wires. as understood here. prob
ably refers to the official building or
residence from which it was transmit
ted. or at which it was received by
courier from Pekin.
