Washington, April 17. Senator
Piitchard left for Raleigh last night.
Senator Pritchard went to Ral
eigh to meet the select Populist com
mittee today in order to determine
upon the matter of Fusion I asked"
him on the train just before leaving
did he think that fusion would re
sult from the deliberations today.
He replied: "Not if the editorials
recently printed in the Caucasian are
expressions from Senator Bntler."
Senator Pritchard said he wanted
it understood that they took him,
they took him with the McKinley
attachment.
It comes straight and perfectly
authentic to me today that Cleveland
has decided not to consider thenom
inat on unless it vis forced upon him
unanimously. It has been decided
iu the administration ihat Carlisle is
to be Cleveland's candidate, and
Carlisle is now busy working up his
organization with W. H. Pugh, of
the Treasury Department as his head
manager. Cleveland doesnot expect
any contingency to arise whereby. he
will be named, and Carlisle, my in
formant says, has no idea that he will
be nominated. It is said son Logan
is kicking aud blowing up fo ks
right and left because they did not
begin his father's canvass just after
his Memphis speech.
Today thiDgs are blue in White
House circles, and for the first time
they admit that the silver movement
looks almost like a stampede.
Linney comes back reporting that
Settle has gone to McKinley.

I asked Senators Prilcl ard aud
Butler yesterday what was their
plans now that fusion had failed.
Butler said there was 70,000 Popu
lists in North Carolina 'and they
would stand alone until November
unless they were joined by others
Pritchard said the Republicans
would "just go along as if nothing
bad happened. He said that nine
tenths of the counties favored co

were talking abont,J and that Mr.
Butler couldn't deliver them to the
Democrats. Mr. Pritchard will give
me an interview in a few days, which i
promises to be red-hot. He said
Skinner told him that the Republi

in the Populist committee by only
one majority. Butler asked me to
state that every proposition before
the Populist committee had been
adopted unanimously.

not be bothering about Butler not
being able to deliver the Populist vote
to the Democrats, that he (Pritchard)
could not even deliver the Republican
silver vote to himself.
Skinner told me today that as
surely hs the Populist partv
played the "middle of the road"
game in this campaign, so surely
would thev turn over the State to the
Republicans. Skinner seems to be
verv level -headed, and never for a

of North Carolina should have of

Took His Coffin Along.
San Francisco, April 20. Ed
ward Evang of Shanghai, who was
among the passengers on the steamer
Gaelic, says that Li Hung Chang,
the eminent viceroy, now on his way
to Moscow to attend the coronation
of the czar, tcok with him on his
trip a casket, in which he expects to
be buried if he dies.
"It is not an unusual thing for
Chinese to buy their own coffins and
keep them in their houses the same
as any other kind of furniture until
they shake off this mortal coil," he
said. "To carry a coffin with one's
self on a long journey to guard
against any inconveniences in case of
death may seem ridiculous to Ameri
cans, but that Li Hung Chang has
done this I know to be a fact I have
the story from a missionary in China
who knows."
Iiuluwayo Cut Off.
"Capetown, April 23. Telegra
phic communications with the town
of Buluwayo which is partly surroun
lied by an army of fifteen thousand
hostile Matabeles, has been cutjoff at
Figtree, a small place near Mangwe,
on the west of Buluwayo. This
break cuts off the means of com
munication with Buluwayo, and in
view of the most serious state of
affairs there has caused considerable
anxiety here. A repairing and
scouting squad was sent from Man
gwe in the direction of Figtree.
There was no change in the. situation
when Buluwayo was last heard from.
It is hoped the break naay be due to
accident or simply a marauding band
of Matabeles.

until the next session of Congress.
That is because it is feared that
the bills will be shelved on accouut
of certain congressmen not caring to
usher in new states on the eve of a
presidential campaign and the desire
of the Republicans to adjourn early.
