Special to T:;i- N'kws. 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. In a conversation yesterday with Mr. Bell, Populist member of the XT r . t i t nouse irom ooioraao, ana wno was hia n-irtv'o f A ir! a f a fnv Sno'i tor he said to me that if the Democrat ic convention put; a man who was unequivocally for free silver, that he (Bell) would be persona!! v iu fa vor of the Populists endorsing him.

This is among the latest inside tips on the situation. It is certainly fair to say that there is considerable latent strength in Stevenson. 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 operation and they knew what they 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 can proposition had been rejected in the Populist committee by only one majority. Butler asked me to state that every proposition before the Populist committee had been adopted unanimously. It looks now as if Congress will remain well into June. W. E. C. The Resignation Announced. akis, April 23. Almost imme- ately On the aRHPmhUrnr nf trip. hamber of Deputies today, the purgeois announced the resignation X the cabinet Bayard at Stratford.

Those pre sent are of the opinion that Char lotte will be able to meet the requirements. resident Winston, of the University, Vice President Stevenson, who consented to come with bis family to the Chapel Hill commencement in June. Dr. Kilgo read an able paper to night before the Educational Con gress. Dr. A. B. Hawkins returned home tonight. Dr Mott today, referring to Pritch ard's utterance in yesterday's News & Observer, said that Pritchard need 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 moment seems to los sight of the righteous fear that the white people of North Carolina should have of negro rule which is involved in Re publican rule. Shafroth, Republican, of Colorado, t-'aid todav to Skinner that the west ern silver Republicans would endorse any free silver man put up at Chi cago in preference to a gold man put up by the Republicans. The question is asked why does Butier seem willing to join the Re- pnblu&ns on a high tariff issue and yet refuse to endorse a genuinely free silver .Democrat put up at Chicago. W. E C. 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. nantly to your correspond"iit yester day but went on at length frankly and without evasion, as, is his wont, to give your correspondent a full outline of what might be the hopes and fears of Democrats of North Carolina. Gov.
