Restraint in New York.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Luther Edger-
ton Newport, said to be O. prominent
young business man of St. Paul, Mimi,
was caught by the police during the
evening and turned over to the authori.
ties at Bellevue hospital. He is sup.
posed to be temporarily insane. His
actions attracted a large crowd and
when the police attempted to arrest
him he resisted stoutly. He is said to
be q son of General Newport of St.

at the exclusive Lenox apartments in
this city with his father, a brother and
two sisters. Several friends called at

Canvass Of That Body Shows
Strong Opposition to the
Plan Proposed.
Believe It Would Be Suicidal
Not to Have a Party Man
in the Field.

CHICAGO, Aug. %. The latest reports
received here indicate that the Populist
national committee, which is to meet
in this city on the 26th instant, may
not be as harmonious as when the ex-
ecutive committee was in session here
early in the month.
The meeting is called for the purpose
Of selecting candidate for the vice
presidency. When Mr.. Towne de-
clined the nomination Of the Populists,
it was generally supposed that Mr..
Stevenson would receive the Popuist
endorsement, by general consent. The
correspondence which has taken place
between the members OF the national
committee Of that party since the meet
ing Of the executive committee in this
city 10 days ago, makes II plain that
this result while apparently still prob
able, viii not be accomplished without
struggle. Indeed, it is understood
that many Of the leaders Of the party
are strongly urging that the committee
shall name an independent candidate.
Those who take this position include a
~ a3y: Ma3erity Of the onacers
coisl Aaunn SnenEs
being Chairman Butler and Treasurer
Washburne, who arss pronounced in
their views. Vice Chairman Edmisten
is also said to incline towards the opin-
ion that wisdom demands that the Pop.
ulists have q candidate Of their own in
the field. Secretary Edgerton is cred.
tied with being the only officer Of the
organization who is friendly to the en-
dorsement Of Mr.. Stevenson's candi-
dacy. Mr.. Stevenson's friends claim
that Edgerton is working effectively in
their behalf. The best canvass of the
committee they have been able to make
causes them to feel hopeful of the re-
suit. Still, those now committed to
this course are considerably below a
majority in numbers.
Senator Butler and others who agree
with him, contend that it would be sui
cidal for their party not to have can
didate of their own political faith in
the field. They also hold that unless
there is a Populist candidate for second
place many Populist votes will be
driven from Mr.. Bryan.

course of his remarks Congressman Lati
NOR spoke Of Senator McLaurin's
"trcachcr crous vote on tho Spanish war"
He said that McI,aurin's treachery to his
party was made even worse because of
the fact that not one month before no
cast the deciding vote that brought on
the war with Spain, for which McLaurin
was responsible, McLaurin had made n
constitutional argument on exactly tho
opposite side of tho question. Con-
gresham Latimor regretted to make

to score him vigorously.
