NO u. S. MARSHAL
WAS in THE CASE
Captain Williams Causes a Furry
by Similarity in
Work.

For few hours yesterday afternoon
there was large amount of exc tement
in certain portions Of the city. and il was
all because of the misunderstanding of a
name by Captain George a. Williams, of
the schooner A. DenilSe, now loading with
railroad t,es at the dock.
Captain Williams went into the United
States Mnrshals Office yesterday after
noon to see about certain matters in con-
nection with the probable libel of his ship
In the conversation that ensued CAPITA II
Williams intimated that a man had been
to him and represented himself as a
United States marshal. and sad that ne
intended to libed the ship for the sum Of
s54. alleged to be due the Virginia Pilots
Association.
The department had sent no one to see
Captain Williams on such an errand. and
inquiry was made for the man who wns
thought 10 have represented himself as a
United States marshal
1t was learned later in the evening,
however, that Air. Oscar Edwards. presi-
dent of the Virginia Pilots Association,
md Judge John II. Ingram had been IN
conversation with Captain Williams con-
cernins the claim Of the Association. and
that General Counsel Marshalrs name
had been mentioned.
Cartnin Williams had mistaken the men
ton of Mr.. Marshalls name for tha, of a
United States marshal, and thus the con-
fus.on arose.
It appears. however, that the Pilots,
Association may libel the vessel for the
sum mentioned alleged to be due for

MAY NOT BE HARMONIOUS.
some Popu!ists Want a Candidate OF
Their Own.
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated IfeSs.)
CHICAGO, August 21.-The latest reports
received here indicate that the Popullst
national Committee which is to meet in
this civ on the oSth instant. may not be
harnoric,ls. as predicted when the Exc
c,tiva Committee was in session here
early in the month.
The meeting is called for the purpose OF
selecting a candidate for the Vice-Pfesi-
dencv. When Mr.. Towne declined the
nomination of the Populists it was
generally supposed that Mr.. Stevenson
would receive the Popuiist endorsement
by general consent.
This result. while apparently still proba-
HE. will not be accomplished without
struggle Indeed it is understood that
many of the leaders of the party are
strongly urging that the committee snail
name an independent candidate.
Those who take this position include
majority of the officers of the National
Committee. among them being Chairman
Butler and Treasurer Washburne, who are
pronounced in their views. Vice-Chair-
man Edmiston IS also said to incline to-
wards the opinion that wisdom demands
that the Populists have candidate OF
their own in the field. Secretary Edgerton
is credited with being the only officer or
the organization who is friendly to the
endorsement of Mr.. Stevenson's candidacy.

Edgerton is working effectively IN their
behalf. The best canvass Of the committee
they have been able to make causes them

Senator Butler and others who agree
with him contend that 1t, will be suicidal

OF their own political faith in the field,
They also hold that unless there is a

Populist votes will be driven from Bryan.

Referring to the difficulties of controlling

other nationality. The Germans and Rus
