Senator Pritchard Says Their Personal Re
lations Have in no Wise Changed Till
man on the Floor Washington Topics.
Special to The News.
Washington, Jan. 30 In spite
of the rumors of a split t between
Pritchard and Butler, ' Senator
Paitchard told me yesterday that the
personal relations between him and
the junior senator had in no wise
changed, that he had no reason to
think that there was any concerted
movement, as stated by me, on the
part of Butler and Mott to unseat
him in favor of Mott Nevertheless
the surmises sent you yesterday came
to me from good sources, and I am
convinced that they are well founded
and need only time for vindication.
Senator Pritchard said that his
present position was well defined and
unchanged, namely, that he was in
favor of a mixed electoral ticket one
half to cast their votes' in favor of
the nominee of the Populist party
and the other half for the nominee
of the Republican party. As to sil
ver, I suggested that he might not
be taking an extreme enough stand
to suit Butler. The senator said he
wanted it understood clearly that his
position was .this: He was a silver
man, but a silver man within Re
publican lines. The Senator said he
had received letters from the ma
jority of the members of the .Repub
lican Executive Committee in Xorth
Carolina, endorsing his position in
the matter of Electoral Fusion, and
letters had come to him of like na
ture from numberless farmers in the
state.
The sensation of the session cul
minated yesterday in the appearance
of Tillman upon the '.Senate floor.
There is an atmosphere of malice
social malice about the man. His
step and gesture, his features, ex
pression all betoken revenge for
some imagined giievance. He is no
doubt typical of the sentiment he
reprtgfenU in South Carolina, namely
that of vicious resentment bv the
masses against the class regime rep-
jitrbeuted by the blue bloods of the
Wade Hampton and M. C Butler
stripe. It took a brute, to head the
revolution, and South Carolina and
Tillman was forthcoming. For
with many elements of strangely
dramatic force, sometimes a coloring
just a coloring of pathos, there
rises the brute above them all
There was simply no standing room;
nor was there a whisper; the atten
tion was complete and enrapt.
While disgust was plainly to be seen
on the faces of many of the Senators
such as Gorman, for instance, whose
face refused to respond to Vest when
the old Missourian would laugh in
spite of himself at some specially
startling arraignment of Cleveland.
Hoar seemed to be bewildered, and
Morgan laid back his head in a sort
of hopeless collapse keeping his eye
on the young South Carolinian in a
pitying kind of way as a mother
might be expected to look upon a
sou who had just committed crime.
It was simply a heartless wrench of
all the Senate customs, and
there wTere certain parts that
seemed to bring a kind of gratifica
tion to many of the older Senators,
and even Senator Teller smiled
broadly, (a rare thing with him),
when Tillman enlarged the phrase
used by him some days ago to read
"incompetent and dishonest," in
stead of "or," as used by Teller, re
ferring to the Democratic adminis
tration. The speech added nothing
to me stiver argument, it was one
impassioned burst of venom queer,
rattle-snake venom. And yet there
was now and then spontaneous out
bursts of passion, wiiose dramatic
thrills were felt for an instant, only
to give way to feelings of pitv, dis-
i gust, deprecation ana other emo
j tions of resentment. For example,
referring to the refusal of the Presi
dent to take anv Democat in his
OPIUM WHISKEY 'counseIs. lillman wheeled himself
witn vengence m tne swiit move
ment, and facing upon the whole
chamber, he almost shrieked at the
top of his voice, referring to the
Democratic Senators, who had grown
gray in the service before the "man
from Buffalo" had been heard of.
"Has he called you into his coun
sel's !,; he exclaimed. "Speak !" he
almost screamed, "if there be one
among you !" In spite of the lurid
atmosphere of it all, not a Senator
left his seat, all listened, nor did any
go up to congratulate the speaker at
the close, except Kyle of South Da
kota, and a few friends from South
Carolina who had been listeners. He
had fallen into the midst of the Sen
ators like a dynamite bomb, and cu- j

An Extraordinary ce'in Lond m.
London. Jan. 30. An extraordi
nary scene Was witnessed in Trafal
gar Square, early this morning the
anniversary of the execution of
Charles I of England, who was be
headed by order of a special high
court of justice, appoiuted by the
House of Commons. The king was
executed in front of the Banqueting
House, Whitehall, which leads up to
Trafalgar Square, from Westminster,
in 1749, January 30th. To the as
tonishment of the policemen on
duty this morning, many small par
ties" of SO called "Legitimists' ar
rived at Trafalgar with floral
wreaths. The police compelled
them to take the floral wreaths away
from the foot of the monument.
The crowd obeyed, but with uncov
ered heads, repeated the collect re
ferring to the so-called "Martyred
Sovereign. The "Legitimists" then
offered prayer, but when the demon
stration began to attract too much
attention, they were dispersed.

PANY. . ' '
A Deal to Hand the Populists Over to the
KeTMibitc&, Bag aud Baggages-New s
Fiora YPahington.
Correspondence of the News. .
Washington, Jan. 29. There is
frost in the wind up here. Skinner
went home last night a mad man.- It
can be put down as certain, if my
well-based; surmise is correct, - that
he and Butler haTe split irrevocably.
Nor does tRe split come from con
siderations of political policy alone,
! that if. directly. At the silver. con
vention, one morning last week,
Skinner made a rattling speech,
, which gathered the big ones around
him, and he was slated for a talk
that night, but he did not talk,
j Whether he was choked off the pro
'. gramme or not by Butler, I have rea
son to think that Skinner thinks
(but Ifhave not seen Skinner) that
Butler did the work, and out of
! Sheer' jealousy at that For it is
i said that since Butler has been feed
i ing gii fashionable Q street tender
loin, his ambition has grown great,
and one who should know, savs that
both his ambition and plans are well
defined toward the Populist nomina
tion for the Presidency He even is
said to believe that he could 'get the
constitution changed to suit his eye
in case he got it. Anyway my in
formation is that he has burnt all
bridges and has made a close alli
ance with Mott. Mott is openly ac
cused of having left the Republican
party to join Butler in a sil
ver movement, and Skinner
representing the Populists, resents
this as equivalent to an attempt
; by 1'utler to disorganize the Popu
i list parry and deliver it bag and
! baggage to the Republican party,
i Yet his game will be to make it ap
! pear that he is bringing the Repub
j licati party to him. It is the elo-
quen ce of Mott to be taken to per-
buasively when he says that he is
i for silver against everthing even
! Republicanism it may be put down
i that Mott is fusing with Butler to
j bring his crowd to the Republicans,
and that Butler is willing, and that
iho i.vo will unite to displace
'iVitciiard with Mott. I am told
that Marshal Mott is disturbed at
the remarks of Dr. Mott seeminglv
so far from the Republican party.
But Marshal needn't worry. This
last move, it is said, is the death
knell of Populism in the State. The
party will divide at once into Butler
Populists meaning Republicans,
and Anti-Butler Populists. At the
head of the Antis, it appears that
Mr. Spier Whitaker has placed him
self. The story goes so far as to
credit Mr. Spier Whitaker with the
authorship of the Wood letter, which
is vovched for by a responsible party.
It is entirely likely that Mr. Whit
aker has hopes of getting the Demo
crats to meet him half-way
with his Anti-Butlerites and
conceding the gubernatorial nom
ination to him. How wild
all these things read, and yet
they are in the air. There is simply
the devil to pavin the camp. Pritch
ard knows the whole game, .and had
close conference with Skinner yesterday-
Skinner's movement in the
state will tell some kind of a story.
As to VVhitaker's authorship of the
Wood letter, it is thought that Mr.
Wood is the brother of Dr Wood,
who it is said follow ed Dr. Grissom
at the Raleigh asylum, through the
influence of Whitaker. Moreover, I
am told that VV ood is a cousin of
VV hitaker's, and that the letter is an
open bid by Whitaker for Demo
cratic help. The tried and true
Democrats will hew to the line, lis
tening to none of these clap-trap
schemes, but the schemes are on tne
string for all that. There will be
three district tickets in the field,
and Jim Boyd expects, confidently
to capture the governsnip, in tact
appears to be buovant over his pros
pects. . W.E C.
A Boy's Narrow Escape
Last Sunday Mr. Will Wallace,
who lives near Hnntersville, mount
ed his horse and rode over to Mrs.
Brown's, who lives in the same
neighborhood. As he was hitching
his horse a little son of Mrs. Brown
asked to ride and Mr. Wallace gave
his consent. The boy jumped into
the saddle and the horse started off
and ran away. As he was turning a
curve the saddle slipped underneath
throwing vounsr Brown to the
ground but not injuring him serious
ly. The horse's feet soon got tangieu
with the stirrups throwing him
against a tree and breaking his back.
It was lucky for the boy that he fell

ed against the tree.

Resolved further, that this Repre

will in a friendly spirit use the good
