mittee.
Inc Democratic party could have
no better representatives on the
National Advisory committee than
Senator Allen and General Weaver.
II was Allen whosuppressed Bryan
telegram at St. Louis four years
ago, thus making his nomination
by the Populist possible, only by
traud and deception. Tn that tele-
gram Bryan fatty refused to accept
Tom Watson as his running mate. }
Gen. Weaver has become so lost to
all sense of gratitude or honor as to
nave voted in the National Com
mlttee meeting last February, to
strike from the roll of the National
committee the name of the Hou.
frank Burkitt of Mississippi, who
was regularly elected member of
said Committee.
The Hon. Frank Burkett carries
scars on his face today that he re-
ce1Ved while defending Gen. Weav-
ers lite against Democratic mob
at Okalona in 1892.
1t seems strange to us that the
Populists of Nebraska, afterdestrov-
Ing all chance of party success in
their own State by the abandon
ment OF all principle and inaugural
ing the three cornered scramble for
Office, called fusion, that almost de-
stroyed the Peoples party in Ne
braska and every other State where
it has long been in vogue, should
still favor the continuance of the
fusion policy.
Mr.. Edmiston, you very well
know that the Republican vote has
increased in every election of your
State since the fusion policy was
1naugurated. You know that the
present fusion State office holders
were only elected by a small ma
]orlty two years ago, and you know
that your State ticket cannot be
elected at all in Nebraska this year,
as result of the fusion policy that
you seem so anxious to have us
adopt.
Fellow Populists of Idaho, in &C.
cepting the nomination for Secre-
tary of State by the Peoples Party
convention at Pocate1lo, 1 did so
with distinct understanding and
the condition that there would be no |
fusion, but that we should have a |
Populist ticket all the way |
through, and under no other cir
would I accept the
nomination. This I stated in plain
md unmistakable terms at the
ime.
1t is going to be a crime to be
Populist and we can no
onger be true to our principles
without arousing the suspicion of
he National vice-chairman; if we
an no longer stand for true Popu-
ism all oblivious to the two parties,
Without being branded assuspicious
characters, then I ask you, Popu-
lists, to think, investigate, and try
O find out for yourselves what kind
If medicine the Democrats have
'een giving your National Com
nittee to make them talk in such
anguage Of people whose only
wrong has been a steadfast adher-
nee to the Populist party and to
he principles of Popu1ism.
Dated, Boise, Ida, Oct. 20, 1900.
Very truly yours,
MELANcTHoN F. EBY,
Peoples Party and Populist Nomi-
lee, and Candidate for Secretary of

CHINESE SAID TO HAVE DIS
COVERED AMERICA.
TOLD BY ANCIENT RECORDS
United States officers Make I'm
portant Find-Corroborat-
ed in Mexico.

Monterey, Mex, Nov. 15-The re-
port that American officers have un-
earthed ancient records in Pekin show
ing that the Chinese discovered
America 1900 years ago and erected
temples in Mexico have aroused the
greatest interest among the scientific
men of Monterey and throughout this
country.
The Chinese temples alluded to are
in the state of Sonora, on the Pacific
coast The ruins of of the temples
was discovered near the town Of Urez,
in that state, about two years ago.
j One of the large stone tablets found in
the ruins was covered with carved
Chinese characters which were partly
deciphered by a learned Cinnamon,
who visited the ruins at the request Of
the Mexican government. This China
man made the assertion at the time
that the ruins were those of a temple
which had been erected many cent
uries ago by Chinese, but his state
ment was received with little credence.
It has been long claimed that the In
dians of the state of Sonora are de-
scendants of these early Chinese set
tiers. Thy possess many traditions
and characteristics of the Chinese.
If the reports Of the finding Of these
records in Pekin are verified an expe-
dition will 60 from here to explore
further the ancient temples of Sonora.

OFFICER PROTECTS MURDERER.

Denver, Nov. 15-At 9 O'Clock to-
night it was announced that Sheriff
Freeman Of Lincoln county had de-
cided not to take John Porter, the
confessed murderer of little Louise
Frost, to that county at present.. He
declares that he wishes to avoid a
lynching if possible and thinks that
when the people have time to cool
down they will be willing to allow the
law to take it's course. The friends Of
the dead girls family are deeply in
censed against the sheriff and threats
of violence against him are freely
made. The day has been an exciting
m in Denver. Thousands have sur
rounded the city Jail where the negro
was confined and it kept the police de-
partment busy clearing the streets.
There as no Indication that any motive
other than curiosity prompted the
gathering. Late this afternoon Porter
was transferred to the custody Of the
sheriff of this, Arapahoe, county and
taken to the county Jail. Porter spent
today reading the bible and praying.
He expressed penitence for his crime,
but retains his remarkable nerve.

HEALTH OF GEAR.

London, Nov. 15-The impression
prevails at most European capitals
that the illness of Emperor Nicholas
IT. is more serious than is reported.
But this is based upon the knowledge
that the czar's constitution is not
strong and unlikely to Withstand a
YER attack. At Copenhagen the
illness of the czar is attributed to
worry over the Chinese situation and
there is also a suspicion at Copenhagen
that the hygienic conditions and
water supply at Livadia may be
faulty.
The dowager czarina receives news
by courier twice each day. Her de-
parture from Fredensburg has been
officially fixed for November 26.
Preparations have since been made for
her to leave at any moment and the
fact that she has not started indicates
there is no immediate danger. It is
feared, however, that even if no COM
plications ensue the attack may be
of long duration. There is no news
from st. Petersburg on the subject be-
yond the official bulletins, which indi-
cate that the attack is only Eslight, 10
high temperature having yet been re-
ported.

Washington, Nov. 15-Steps have
been taken for resuming the important
work Of the Anlgo-American commits
sion, made up of representatives of the
United States, Great Britain and Can
ada, and consideration Of the subject
now in progress will possibly deter
mine in a few days what course will
be pursued.
Correspondence has passed recently
between Ottawa and Washington rela-
tive to 1esuming the work, and nov
that the elections on both sides Of the
border are over there is felt to be more
time and opportunity to devote to the
serious questions involved before this
commission.
1t is understood that the American
commissioners desire to remove the
possibility Of such Intellectual results
as occurred at their last sitting. The
indications are that this can be done
through the cooperation Of the state
department. by emitting the Alaskan
boundary question from those to be
considered, thus removing the chief
obstacle to progress. On the Alaska
question the commission was prac-
tically deadlocked and it made no
report of progress on other questions
because of its inability to include this
question. Since then, however, the
modus vivendi on Alaska has been
agreed upon and while this lacks per-
manency, it is felt that the question
can be best left to direct legislation
between the two governments, thus
permitting the commission to proceed
with the many other important ques-
tions involved. What arrangement
can be made in this particular will
depend upon the conferences now go
ing on. The purpose Of the commits
son is to frame a new treaty between
the United States and Great Britain
covering the various questions along
the Canadian border and thus dispos-
ing Of a wide range of controversy.

DEFENSE SCORES A POINT.

E%ldorado, Kansas, Nov. 15-The at
torneys for Jessie Morrison, who is in
Jail here, charged with the murder of
Mrs. Olin Castle by cutting her throat
with a razor, and whose trial will
commence next week, have secured
an order from Judge Shinn directing
County Attorney Brumback to deliver
the papers which he has in his possess
sion Or a copy of the same which con-
tain the dying statement of Mrs.
Castle, Dr. any other written state
ments Of Mrs. Castle that he may
have, to Miss Morrison's attorneys.
These statements form a strong link in
the chain Of the states evidence and
possession OF them gives the defense
an opportunity of meeting such evil
dence. The attorneys for the defense
tried to get possession of the state
ments before the preliminary hearing,
but failed. Miss Morrison's plea will
be self-defense.

ARMOR PLATE CONTRACTS.
Largest Orders Ever Placed by the
Government.

Washington, Nov. Is ~ Secretary
Long today announced the conclusion
of the long controversy over the price
of armor plate for naval vessels and
an agreement with the Carnegie and
Bethlehem companies for Krupp armor
at $500 per ton with a possible addi-
ton of royalty fees making the maxi
mum price $455. SO a ton. The amount
of armor involved is the largest ever
placed at one time by the government
and is said to equal all the armor pur-
chased by this government up to 1896.
It covers armor for ships now in var
ious stages of construction, including
eight battle ships, six armored cruisers
and three protected cruisers.

WAR x

Winona, Mimi, Nov. 15-Congress-
nan James A. Tawney, of the ways
and means committee, speaking of the
meeting in Washington November 30,
says:
The object is to consider the extent
to which the war revenue taxes can be
removed and amendments to make the
law more satisfactory in it's admins
tration. The problem as to what taxes
shall be removed will be a perplexing
one. I think, however, it is safe to
say that the stamp tax upon instru-
ments of conveyance, such as notes,
deeds, mortgages and inheritances for
charitable and benevolent purposes,
will be removed, and possibly the
taxes upon proprietary medicines and
some other articles. It will be the
desire Of the members of the commit
tee to emove just as many of the
stamp taxes as possible, but like the
removal of stamp taxes under the old
civil war revenue act, it will probably
have to be done gradually.

FEAT IN

Minneapolis. Nov. 15-Prof. L. P.
Leavenworth photographed the as
teroid Eros through the telescope at
the state university observatory last
evening. Considering that the dim
inutive planet is said to be 81, 900, 600
miles away it was a long shot. The
professor said that the planet could
not be seen with the naked eye or
through the telescope. By a close
mathematical calculation he ascer-
tained its exact location and a sensi-
tive plate caught it's likeness, even
though it was::beyond human ken.

MID OCEAN.
.AFL0AT. ON SINKING SHIP
Thrilling Experience of Crew of
Norwegian Bark as Relat-
80 Hf 5tG .I+. e.N=s - y" E
ed by Rescuer.

Philadelphia, Nov. 15-After float
ing on the ocean in a helpless condi-
ton on a sinking vessel for five days,
Captain Andersen and his crew of Is
hands Of the Norwegian bark High
flyer arrived here today, having been
rescued by the British steamer Georg-
ian Prince, Captain Flett, from Hull.
During the five days the crew were
at the mercy of the waves they saw
only two steamers. The first one, ac-
cording to Captain Andersen, came
within half a mile of his vessel, but
steamed away without giving any aid.
The second ship sighted was the
Georgian Prince.
The Highfiyer sailed from Campbell
ton, P. E. l., for Newport, Wales,
on October 10, with a cargo of lum-
Der. When II days out the bark
encountered a evere gale, which tore
away her sails and strained the vessel
SO that she sprang a leak of nine inches
an hour. All hands were kept busy
at the pumps SO that the bark could
be kept afloat until a passing vessel
could render assistance. Four days
passed and on the morning of the fifth
day a transatlantic liner passed
but only answered the distressed
vessels signal by rsising her flag.
Captain Flett, of the Georgian
Prince, made report Of the rescue in
which he said:
cat 4 p. M, November 5, we sight
the Norwegian bark Highfyer, Of
Chrlstiana, showing signals of distress
and on coming neal I found that the
captain and crew wished to abandon
the ship, as she had sprung a leak and
vas in a sinking condition. I then
ordered my boats to be ready to take
them on board my vessel. The cap
tain reported to me that the whole
crew had been continuously working
at the pumps for five days and nights
and that they were exhausted, a fact
I could see when they came on board,
as they were scarcely able to get on
the Georgian Prince without help.
After consulting with the captain,
who said the derelict would be water
logged before morning, as the water
was gaining nine inches an hour and
vas lying in the direct track of
steamers from the east west bound, I
decided to destroy her and sent a boat
back with my first and third officers
and crew and set fire to the bark"

News from Limon, Colo, says a mass
meeting Of citizens from all parts of
Lincoln county vas held there tonight
and resolutions were adopted request
ing Sheriff Freeman to bring John
Porter, the negro murderer Of Louise
Frost, to that county at once. 1t was

mitted. An organization was per-
fected and it: was positively asserted

isfaction was expressed at the decision
Of Sheriff Freeman to hold the pris-

cUBANs IN
Work Of Framing Constitution at Last
Fairly Begun.

Havana, Nov. 15-The Cuban con
stitutional convention held a short
session today in the Marti threatre
and adjourned until tomorrow.
The report of the committee on Gre
dentials sustained the election of all
the delegates from the province OF
Havana. Some Irregularities, the
committee asserted, had been dis
covered and some Lvotes had been
thrown out, but. not enough to change
the general result. The report was
laid upon the table for discussion to-
morrow. The committees finding
with reference to other provinces was
accepted by the convention.
The Havana Trades union is en-
deavoring to interest individual dele
gates in a proposal to incorporate in
that monopolies< r a detriment to
native labor and must be prevented.
The petition, by it's terms, shows that
it is directed against the Spanish cigar
manufacturers.
Ell Diaro del Marina denies that any
discrimination is now being made
against the Cubans in the tobacco
business.
The resignation of Horatio Ruebens,
special. counsel to General Wood re-
garding Cuban matters, has created a
stir among the leaders. At first they
understood that Mr.. Ruebens consid-
cred the movement in the cause of in
dependence lost, but in a letter to
Discussion, he sassy that he has full
confidence that the United States gov
eminent will keep all the promises and
that he is retiring for a short time
from his labors in behalf of Cuba in
order to attend to some personal
affairs. The future of Cuba, Ruebens
asserts, now rests with the delegates
of the people in constitutional conven.
ton assembled.
