foreign powers and already England

A Fight foe Control of the People's Party.

- The Washington Star of yesterday
says ! . , t , .
The'publication of Tom Watson's
letter of acceptance in his own pa
per causes no surprise in political
circles. .The populist leaders have
been expecting Mr, Watson to pub
lish the " letter, accompanied by an
"I-told-you-so" ylew of the situa
tion. They were confident that
Watson wouldtake advantage of the
defeat of Bryan to exploit his - own
wisdom and the folly of Senator
Butler in ' managing the campaign
that U over. , . V ;
The effect of .Mr. Watson's attack
on1 Senator Butler, however, Is to
widen the breach that exists be
tween the two men and to make war?
fare from now on a certainty. " j
; ,When Mr. Watson 'sletter reached
Senator Butler after the delay in the
post office, the Senator went over it
carefully with Sooretary Edgerton
of the populist national committee.
They' saw: nothing in. the first part
of ,the epistle to which . they could
make serious objection.. The letter,
it is stated, 'was an adroit pieoe of
work, typical' of ' Wats6nf: It was
characterized by in tense prejudice
against the democrats. Toward the
last part there was a page devoted
to 'an attack 6n Sewall, who was
said to be a tool of Wall street and
put on the ticket to catch the Cleve
land democrats.' Watson viewed the
election of Bewail; ' with alarm, say
ing that if Bryan should be elected
and die the country would be in the
hands of another Cleveland. . i
From now on there will be a hard
fieht for r mastery in the people s
party between Butler and Watson.
They will both play fof four years
from now. Senator , Butler- is be
lieved in this city to-have the best of
the beginning of the contest. .The
dispute between . the two men is to
be settled over the policy each
adopted . in the campaign. It -is
claimed that in every' state In. which
Senator Butler s policy wasiuiiy
carried out the populists profited in
more ways than ever before; that
they " secured more . Congressmen,
governors ;and 1 state officers than
ever in their history." This, was by
means of a close fusion la the close
states, j Watson 's policy was against
fusion, and the consequence was, it
is claimed, that . his- party was laid
in a grave in Georgia, . Texas, -Tennessee,
Alabamaand allstates where
his advice was taken. , ,-,
-Watson will keep up the fight,
and will leave nothing undone to
cripple Butler, i The war will: get
merrier as the time approaches for
the next campaign. ...

SOUTHERN COMMERCE.
Mr. Spenser Plan to Develop It by Regu

By Telegraph to thePress-Visitor.
Baltmorx, Md., Nov. 14. Mr.
Samuel, Spencer, president of the
Southern railway company, has made
public a plan to develop Southern
commerce and direct Southern ex-
port traffic. The scheme, which was
arranged when Mr. Sponcer was in
England last summer, is that cer
tain Southern porta where the prin
oi pal railways have their termini
shall have regulan lines of steamers
to run to the chief European ports.
The Johnston Line, owned by Wil
liam Johnston & Co., limited, of
Liverpool, will furnish the bottoms.
'Johnston A Co., limited," Mr.
Spencer is quoted as. saying, "are
among the strongest people on the
North Awanticln regard to cargo or
freight boats.' tThree lines will be
established, - one from Norfolk,
another from Savannah and a third
from Brunswick; A-
We expect to have the initial trip
made from Norfolk between Novem
ber 2 and December 1. It will ben
fortnightly line for Z the present
The first trip will be 'made from Sa
vannah November 15. : Tbls, too
will be fortnightly line. As to
Brunswlok, owing to existing char
tors, we cannot start until some time
in January. This will be, until ,it
Is developed, a fortnightly line
"The business at these ports here
tofore haa been done with chartered
tramp steamers. The Southern rail
way will profit by this new arrange
ment Its business will be better
done at loss cost," "
