partnens had been approached on the
subject.
That something along this line was
done, 1t is said. was admitted by the de-
partment official, but it is understood
that the .ntimation had been conveyed in
reply hat the time for interposition Of
friendly offices of this character had
passed. and that the United States could
not consider suc.4 an offer. 1t was stated
positively by a cabinet ticer that no Of

to had been made.

WATSON OUT FOR GORE
oopulist Leader HeadG Armed Faction
in Georqia Feud.


Thomson, Ga, Nov. 10.-Thomas E.
1896, some time leader Of the populist
party and author of THE Story Of
France and NAPOLEON has for the
past two days been at the head of an
armed faction representing the ultra
prohibitionists of the town, which for
a time threatened to meet in bloody
combat the so-called liquor element,
which was also under arms waiting for
trouble.
McDutfie county is dry under the
Georgia local option law, but there
nave been numerous charges that blind
tigers were being operated. In these
Mr.. Watson has taken a hand and for
some time great bitterness has existed
between the former congressman and
the leaders Of the faction which was
charged with encouraging the viola
tons of the liquor laws.
Matters were precipitated a few days
ago, when Mr.. Watson was Informed
that a young man OF the town had app
piled some opprobrious language to
him before u crowd in a local barber
shop. Meeting the young man or the
street a few hours later, MI. Watson
told him what he had heard. He not
only admitted his remarks u repeated
them with curses. BystanderS pre-
vented a personal difficulty.
Mr.. Watson's antagonist and his
brothers proceeded to arm themselves.
w~hereupon Mr.. Watson also armed
himself. Friends of both sides We're
quickly under arms as we'll and for a
time it seemed impossible to prevent
1bloodshed. Every dealer in the city
handling firearms and ammunition was
bought out and trouble of a Q seri-
Gus aatur was expected. The matter
was finally adjusted through the inter-
- - II - IT, ,,l.~ {.,S L~,
Intermediates. Both factions have
now laid aside their arms.

Mr.. Brvan'a Explanation.


Lincoln, Neb., Nov. Nv. j. Bryan
in his paper. declares he had no alter.
native as an honest'man except to carry
out the wishes of Philo S. Bennett
who bequeathed him $50, 900 and made
him executor of his estate.
In order to combat statements of un-
friendly papers, Mr.SBryan made a long
explanation, saying, in substance:
Bennett was a democratic elector in
1896 and 1900. In 1896 Mr.. Bennett
wrote a letter, which Mr.. Bryan did not
recall until after the election, express
ing qualification at the work OF Mr.
Bryan and Offering 5000 in case Of de-
feat. Bryan inquired, found out thai
Bennett was not a silver min owner
took the money, and Bennett added $500
to the original contribution. In April.
1900, Mr.. Bennett came to Lincoln, de-
sired Bryan to draw up mis- will and
incorporate in it a bequest for $50, 900
Mr.. Bryan said he would not need the
money in case he was elected.
IF you are elected you'll need il
worse than if defeated" said Mr.. Ben
nett.
Made a Compromise.
An agreement was made that if Mr.,
Bryan did not need the money at the
time Of Benefits death he was to give
to charitable and religious institutions
any part he did not care to accept. AT
Mr.. Bryan's SUGGESTIONS, the money was
given to Mrs. Bennett, in trust for him.
If the money had been given as Mr..
Bennett proposed, spot cash, there
would have been no room for a con
test. II the will is broken the sum will
go to the Bennett family.
Two months after Mr.. Benefits
death Mr.. Bryan notified the widow
that he would not accept the legacy
without her consent. If she objected
he would distribute the money among
charitable institutions.
Mr.. Bryan argues that the relatives
are no poorer by his being named in
the will. If the clause had not been in
serted the money would rave been do
mated AWAY.
Bryan declares that the fact that
Bennett travelled 1,500 miles to make
the beQuest relieves him from the
charge of exercising undue influence.
Morally, he asserts, there is but one
thing to do-accept the money ard fol-
low the wishes OF the testator. The be-
quest was intended to advance the
views Mr.. Bennett held.
Bryan declares the newspapers have
ovestimated his income. In seven
years he has contributed $4,000 to
charity and politics. His income was
sac, 900, and a part of this was invested
in his home. The Commoner pays $4,000
a wear,
