'Zs- Fusion in "VVke isaicornplished.
The deal was r manipulated today
; and ; there was not a ripple or an
feasant thing to mar the happi
ness of the occassion, when the con.
. ferring committees met this after-
'- noon in the Court house, fell on each
" .others necks and wept' for joy. Fu
; : sion is truly, a thing of happiness
and joy forever. .
At noon the. Populist county exe
cutive committee, of which S. Otha
Wilson is chairman met at the court
house. The county convention was
. called to meet Thursday, September
, 24th in this city. The following
committee was appointed to . confer
with the Republican committee ap
pointed to arrange fusion, and agree
' upon terms: Otho Wilson, chairman,
R. W. Wynne, J. W. Smith, Dr. B.
S. TTttej, J, J. Penny, A. It. Huney

The Republican committee was ap
pointed at the early county conven
tion and all the members had been
notified toe here today to consult
. wjth the Populists. The committee
"- is as folldws: Buck. Adams, chair
man, Jim Young, Ham Jones,' T. R.'
.-; ; Purnell, Jerry Smith, R. S, Morgan,
3 Chas; McNamaro.
. . ' The committees were not long in
. getting together and both had prop
ositions to submit, though there was
little,differepce in either. The Re
publican proposition provided for a
- division of all offices on the basis of
fusion in '94. Two of the three
-county commissioners which, are
elected this time were demanded.
ThePbpuHst proposition differed

The Washington Times says: The
' announcement of Chairman Baboock
of the Republican Congressional
committee on Tuesday that no cam
paigwliterature whatever had been
sent to Arkansas by the Republi
cans, caused some surprise even
among, the prominent politicans of
all parties.
But now the Congresssional com
mittee is out with the statement to
The Times that no work has been
done in any of the distinctly South
ern States by the literary depart
ment and that it Is likely little or no
effort will be made to convert the
-people to Republican beliefs.. Not
' only Arkansas," but South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, , Louisi-
- ana, Mississippi,: Tennessee, Texas,
. and, in fact, : all the far Southern
, t States are included in the neglected
: list ' . -V' '-" : '
The reason for this is the almost
tacit admission that the Republican
, national ' committee "cannot hope to
. carry one of those States in the
coming election. .

Kansas Cm', Sept. 12 Bryan
arrived here at six thirty this morn-
ing The. recejian , committee met
the party at, Leaven wocth.. Several
thousand wqrkmert of the car shops
and packing houses mat the train
and demanded a speech: Bryan
said: "'It is a little earlier than
usually begin the day's work,"
but I am glad to speak-to you even
a moment. Some opponents tell us
the thing to do is to open the mills
instead of the mints. That reminds
me of a man who said his horse
would go all right if be could just
get the wagon started. What is the
use of opening the mills unless the
people can buy products. How can
they start them as long as those who
produce the wealth of the country,
particularly the farmer, are not able
to get enough out of. what they, pro
duce to pay taxes and interest.

' Days Notice.
NO ACTIQN TAKEN.
Case Conies Up Again on the IHtli The
Seaboard Took No I tccption to the
Order of the Commission-Promi--
nent Railroaders Present.
Perhaps so many prominent rail
road men and counsel as assembled
in the offices of the Railway Commis
sion at ' 1 1 a. m., have not been in
Raleigh in years.
It will be remembered thatonh
7th day of the month the Commission
issued an order reducing local tariffs
of railroads operating in this State
to correspond with the reduction
made by the last cut in through
rates. The officials of the Southern,
Seaboard, Atlantic Coast Line and
C. F. & Y. .V. wore summoned
to appear heretoilay and show cause
why the ordcrshouldnot be put into
effect.
The matter was taken up this
morning soon after 11 o'clock by the
commission, all three members, Maj.
Wilson, Messrs Buxldingficld and
Wilson being present.
The Seaboard was represerrted by
Capt. W. H. Day, aii'l Ex-Judge
MacRae. Maj. J. B. Batohclor and
Supt. Moncure were present. The
Southern was represented by Col.
A. B. Andrews, First Vice Presi
dent, W. H. Bladwin, Jr., Second
Vice President, Col. W. A. Hender
son Assistant. Gcne-ral Counsel, Mr.
Patterson of Washington oiie of the
Counsel of the Southern, J. H.
Drake, Assistant General Freight
Agent, N. J. O'Brien, Supt. of the
First division, F. H. Busbee and J.
B. Munson. Mr. Rose, Mr. Fry
and Mr. Kyle appeared for the C F.
& Y. V. The Coast Line was not
represented.
A little sparring was indulged in
by Col. flenderson and Capt. Bill
Day, which added something to
the gaity of the occasion.
The hearing was continued until
the 18th of the month, the Seaboard
requiring the ten days notice from
the time the papers were served
upon the officials,, which was on the
Sth.
Capt. Day, representing the Sea
board stated that he had nothing to
say against the order issued on the
evening of the eighth, but he re
served the right to appeal from the
final decision.
Col. Henderson made the -point
that the commission formulate spe
cific questions to be asked of the
representatives ofallthe systems at
the meeting on the IHth.
At 1 o'clock the commission coll
uded the session.
SECT PATTERSON TALKS.
Sees No Reason Why Populists Should
Not support McKinlcy Men.
r Mr. Robert O. Patterson, Secre
tary of the Republican central com
mittee went out to Wake Forest to
day where he has a son.
Before leaving Mr. Patterson stated
that he believed Senator Butler was
acting in good faith with the Repub
licans. "I see no reason why Popu
lists should hesitate to support
McKinley men; we are going to sup
port Bryan men. I do not think
there will be any number
of Populists to amount to any
thing who will bplt their ticket.
They will vote just as their party
tells them to do. No man can kick
against his party. While fusion has
not gone so far as I would like for it
to have gone, theVe is no tacit un
derstanding, as has been intimated,
of a further combination on the State
ticket.
Mr. Patterson stated that he was
surehat Senator Pritchard opposed
Russell's being taken down and that
he did not desire to trade the gover
norship for the senatorsbip with the
Populists. . ' -' ' . s ' ' '.

Southern and Seaboard File New Schedules
With the Interstate Commission.
Washington, Sept. 12.- Vice-Pres
ident Baldwin of the Southern rail
way says that the, action of the road
n reference to the injunction issued
by Judge Speer o the southern dis
trict of Georgia, is now in the hands
of the legal department of the com
pany. His opinion is that the road
may continue to carry at the reduced
rates up to lines of the district pre
sided over by Judge Speer.
The Southern State, Freight As
sociation has filed with the inter
state commerce commission its new
schedule to go into effect Sept. 14,
reducing its rate on first class freight
from New York to Atlanta from
$1.14 to 75 cents. Atlanta is the
central point, but other points also
come under the reduction.
The rate from Providence and
Boston to Atlanta is reduced to 85
cents and from Philadelphia to 71
cents.
The Seaboard Air Line also filed
its schedule of rates to go into effect
Sept. 14, cutting prices for New
York to Atlanta via the Old Domin
ion line steamer to n cents on all
points reached by the system.
I nscttlcd Weather.
The pressure is now high over the
lake region and the North and mid
dle Atlantic coast, and is low in
the west from Texas to Nortli Da
kota. Light rains have occurred at
a few widely scattered points, and
a. m. it was raining at Norfolk.
Ya.
Cloudiness has increased at a
large number, of places, especially
in the lake region and Atlantic coast,
and it is probable, if the high area
moves to New England, that north
east winds with cooler, rainy weath
er may prevail Sunday.

Populist l.i
Kan
Senator Butler denied to a Wash
ington reporter that there had been
any fusion in Nortlv Carolina be
tweea the Republican andPopu
lists on Congressmen, a was pub
lished 'during this week. He said
the probability was that there would
be a Populist nominee in every dis
trict inNorth Carolina. If tlie Re
publicans supported any of the
Populist nominees it would be be
cause the Populists would support
Republicans fir State or count
offices.
'"We are determined," said Sena
tor Butler, ''that the Democrats shall
not get hold of the State administra
tion, but at the same time we are
determined that the State shall not
go for McKinley. We are also de
termined that the Democrats shall
not control the legislature. What
ever may be said of the Populists it
can not be said that they will sup
port McKinley.''
Candidate Tom Watson's course
in his western campaign is not suit-
fhg the Populist managers in Wash
ington, and it is said that something
sensational may drop before long.
Senator Butler is placed in an em
barrassing position about criticising
the Georgian, but there are other
leaders who are not so fixed, and
who do not hesitate to talk . One of
these leaders was at Populist head
quarters today and had a conference
with Senator Butler. He is ex Re
presentative Harris of Kansas, prom
inently spoken of for the Senate at
the time of Senator Better's elec
tion. The news from Kansas of the call
ing of another Populist convention
was receivep at headquarters today.
It was in the nature of a surprise to
some, l lie convention is called to
put out an electorial ticket for Bryan
and Watson in opposition to the fu
sion ticket, which was agreed on
some time atro by Ponulists and
Democrats. By that fusion the Pop
ulists got tho State officers and the
Democrats the electors; the Demo
crats agreeing to vote for whichever
candidate for Vice President hud the
most votes in the electorial college.
The fusion did not suit some of the
Populists and they took action yes
terday on the arrival of Watson in
that State,
Chairman Butler and Mr. Harris
differ somewhat in their opinions
about the situation in Kansas, and
the calling of a new convention. Mr.
Harris said : "This latest movement
in Kansas is engineered by a lot of
disgruntled men, and will not
amount to anything. The same set
tried to get up an opposition ticket
in 1894, but did not succeed. When
ever they cannot have their own
way they take a few matches and
sulphur and start a factory of their
Offn. ut course, such a movement
temporarily checks enthusiasm, and
might do a little harm. "
"I am free to say that Mr. Watson
is making a mistake personally, and
is hurting his party. The western
people and the western populists are
determined that Br van shall be
elected, and they do not want any
thing like discord brought in their
ranks. I also want to say that all
combinations with gold standard
democratsandjrepublicanson elector
al tickets or Congressmen is abso
lute destruction to the party. It is
an abandonment of every principle
of the party, and will result, if it is
done, in ruin."

The Liverpool news today was
uepressing and prices here declined
15 to 21 pointsatthe opening. Liver
pool declined on the expectation of
a large crop estimate by Neill Bros.,
and some long selling againstSouth
ern purchases; later on 10 to 17
points of the loss was recovered on
improved financial news from New
Orleans, some covering, and an
absence of sellers; but still later
prices reacted again and closed easy
at a net decline of 10 to 16 points
with sales of 167,100 bales. The un
settled European political situation
contributed to the weakness, Liver
pool declined 8-32 on the spot, with
sales of 6,000 bales. Futures there
declined 6 to 7 points. New Or
leans declined 12 points. Spot cot
ton here declined i cent, with sales

The Chronicle states that the
weather in the South during the
week has favored the rapid gather
ing of the crop; that rain has fallen
in a number of localities, but gener
ally the precipitation has been light
and in a large part of Texas the
drought continues. There came into
sight during the week 217,799 bales
vs. 73,084 the same week last season,
making the total in sight 304,175
bales vs. 109,357 last season. North
ern spinners have taken thus far this

season. The worlds visible supply
