TOM WATSON HAS
FRIGHTFUL DREAM
IMAGlNES THAT Mr.. BRYAN HAS
WON OVER NEGRO VOTE ON
PROMISES OF PATRONAGE AND
OTHER ALLEGED PRIVILEGES.

Powder Springs, Ga, September 25.-In
his speech here today Thomas E. Watson,
nominee for President of the populist
party, spoke at length on The manner in
which Bryan is Africanizing the dem
ocratic party" saying that the negroes
were at war with the republican party
because the latter had acauiesced in the
southern disfranchisement laws, had dis
charged the colored soldiers who shot up
Brownsville, and appointed an ex-Confed-
crate Gen. Luke E. Wright, secretary of
war
Mr.. Watson continued:
THE negroes claim that they have been
in communication with Bryan and that
he has made them satisfactory pledges
as to recognition, division of patronage
and the enforcement Of the constitution.
What are the pledges? The south has
q right to know. Bryans insane ambi-
ton, selfish and INSCRIPTIONS, threatens
the south with a return of the negro trou-
bles of the past, and they will be more
of a curse to us than in the days of re-
construction

from the governor of California for
the extradition of James S. Durham,
now in Jail at Sherman, and who is
wanted at San Jose, Cal, to answer to
the charge of numbering six persons,
including Mrs Durham, 10 years ago.
Sheriff A. B. Langford of San Jose

OTHER ADVANCES
ARE CONSIDERED
VICE PRESIDENT n. r. SMITH OF
NASHVILLE, CHATTANOOGA AND
ST. LOUIS is ONLY WITNESS BE-
FORE INTERSTATE COMMITS loN.

Atlanta, September 25.-Rate advances
other than those under investigation here
have been decided upon or are under adj
visement according to the testimony
given before the interstate commerce
commission by H. F. Smith, vice presi-
dent and traffic manager of the Nash
vile, Chattanooga and st. Louis railroad,
today. Mr.. Smith was the sole witness
examined and he will be on the stand
again at the next session.
His testimony related in large part to
the condition of the railroads and the ne
cessity for getting more revenue. Dis
GUESSING the reductions made in 1906, which
amounted to present advances on several
commodities, he said that the same were
under coercion by the railroad commits
sons and trade bodies of different states
and cities.
The commission held a night session,
at which the examination of Mr.. Smith
was concluded.
T. c. Powell, vice president of the
Southern railway and an officer of several
of the subsidiary companies of the South
ern, was next placed on the stand by
the railroads. He entered into lengthy
discussion of the rate situation as affected
by the advances. He estimated that the
increase would add about s5S5,00o to the
annual revenue of the companies handling
the traffic.

CHOLERA EPIDEMIC
REACHES MAXIMUM
viii Gradually Decline With
Coming of Winter
SANITARY WORK is SLOW
Narrowing Scenes at Cemetery Where
an Average of 1850 Dead Are Buried
Daily-Most Collins Are
Rude Boxes.
SANITARY WORK is SLOW

st. Petersburg September 25.-The chol-
era epidemic in st. Petersburg, IN the
opinion of experts, now has reached Its
maximum and henceforth the number of
new cases daily is expected to remain
about stationary for a week or ten days
and then to gradually decline under the
influence Of the cold weather.
Little progress has been made in clean
ing the court yards of tenements, the fac
torv districts, the slums and other breed
ing centers of the disease and the neces-
sary conditions exist for renewal of
the Epidemic in the spring. Should this
occur the extent of the westward pro-
gress of the disease through Europe Is
problenlatical. but 1t may sweep down
TO the Russian frontier to the neighbour
ing regions of Germany and Austria and
of northern Europe
A visit today to the Preodrajeck eeme-
terry, where most of the victims are be-
ing Inferred, disclosed the fact that tbs
burial squads still are unable TO keep
pace with the number of dead received
there. The cemetery is a low lying tract
near the river, above the city and is
reached by the railroad. Mortuary trains
which run there twice daily convey an
average of over $50 bodies for burial.
In a shed near the entrance to the
cemetery were found about 100 collins
piled in a confused heap. Some of them,
according to the statements of attend
ants, have been awaiting burial for a
week.
Many of the collins were without Wis
ible marks of Identification.
Coffins Stacked.
Sixty or seventy more caskets were
stacked outside the cemetery chapel,
while inside that building were the cof-
fins of 100 victims for which the influ-
ence or opportunities of relatives of the
dead has secured the privilege of i'm
mediate burial. Among them were
few caskets of some pretensions, but the
majority were rude board boxes with
gaping cracks.
While waiting for the funeral service
to begin the mourners crowded around
The rows of collins endeavoring to iden-
tify their dead, sometimes wrenching
loose the lids as a last resort in this
direction.
At various places in the grounds,
squads of weary sections labored inces-
sanity at graves-shallow holes barely
three feet deep into which water oozed
from the sodden earth.
The funeral services in the chapel were
conducted over 100 dead at a time, num-
her of priests taking turns at chanting
the long Russian funeral liturgy. As
soon as the service was finished, a
group of peasants dressed in their work.
ing clothes, shouldered the Baskets and
bore them off to the place of interment,
followed by the mourners. Priests were
scattered among the graves, and said
short prayer and chanted the usual re-
sponses as each coffin was lowered into
the earth. The graves are so shallow as
to offer danger from infection for years
to come.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nav 4-The
Speakers power is broken. The Speak
er's power is not broken. The Presi-
dent has Congress at his feet. The
President has a recalcitrant Congress
on his hands and will have big fight
before the session is over. He will not
get what he wants. He will get what
he wants. The Republican party is
split wide, open. The Republicans are
fighting like grim death but will fix
it up in the course of a few weeks and
be as harmonious as a prayer meeting
by late May.
These are some of the very diversi-
fed conclusions that are being drawn
as the result of the big conflict of the
last ten days between the President
and the House of Representative 1t
is undoubtedly a conflict of historic
proportions, although it remains to be
seen whether the Republican voters
generally. will know much about it or
will care to be reminded of it when
the Presidential campaign has begun
in earnest.
The conclusions one may draw to
date depend very largely upon his tenn
perament and point of view. The Pres
ident and the Speaker are certainly at
it good and hard and, of course, there
must be some outcome. 1t will hardly
be a drawn battle. Just at present the
Senate has little to do with this latest
development of executive interference.
1t fought the four ship program for
the navy to a standstill, was enraged
because the President and Senator
IrrA 49,
they and not the Republican Senators
had won a victory because two ships
were voted, and is now waiting to see
what the House is going to do with
regard to the Presidents legislative
program.
Unquestionably the President broke
the Speakers power in the House the
other day when he and his friends,
allying themselves with the Demo-
cratic minority, forced an amendment
upon the Sundry Civil Appropriation
bill providing $3.50, 900 for special agents
to inspect the books of railroads to
ascertain whether they were comply
ing with the uniform accounting pro-
visions of the Hepburn railroad rate
law. The Speaker and his House lead
ers were willing to give but $4,000 for
that purpose and the President insist
ed that would in effect emasculate the
railroad rate law. The combination of
House Democrats and administration
Republicans by which that amendment
was enacted unquestionably constituted
a severe setback for the House or
ganization. 1t was a matter of bad
generalship, however If the Speaker
and Chairman Tawney had quietly
compromised on some intermediate
figure, the Presidents attitude on the
matter would hardly have become

impel individuals and families into the
pauper state and keep them there. as
we'll, such as want of employment, dis
vagrancy. ignorance, disease, intemper-
anee, prostitution, etc, and to investi-
gate and report on the influences and
conditions which tend TO prevent in
dividuals and families from drifting
into pauperism, as well as to escape
therefrom, such as wage paying en-
ployment away from home, the same at
home, employment at home in the manu-
facture of articles for sale. school at
tendance, opportunity for recreation,
religion, good health athletics, etc.
Also to ascertain whether there is such
a thing as a race presdisposition to pau
perism.
The effort is being made by the subl
committee to so divide up this work
among the eight subcommittee as to.
equalize as far as possible the work
among them. Considerable progress was
made. and Judge Dole and Mr.. Rath
were appointed a special committee to-
still further formulate the matter and
report to another meeting of this sub
next Tuesday afternoon.
