BUTLER TO PRESIDE. THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD POPU LISTS IN DEFIANT MOOD. They MBit Aggressive War Against In. dorsement of Democrat le Nominees. Presidential Rooms For rbs and Don nelly Vie President From the F-Mt PT. Lovta, July SI Tho Populist na tional committee decided upon Senator Mnrtnn Butler of North Carolina for tem porary ohalrman. The election was affect ed without much apparent opposition, hut there was an adverse element present, Which would neve manifested Itself If the committee had not been to evidently fa rornhle to Hutler. II fa selection Is accept ed as a victory In theooinmlttee at least for those who are opposed to the Domination of both Bryan and Scwall. It wn at first the plnn of the Bryan and rewatl advo cates to put up Hnnernl Weaver for the po Itlon, but they uhnnged at the last mo ment to treneral Fields of Virginia, who waa on the presidential tloket with Gen eral Weaver four yo.irs ago. They believed that the opposing faction would be divided between ltutler and Mr. Illnes of Georgia- Mr. Hincs was, how ever, not planed In nomination, leaving the straights united upon Senator Hutler. General yields was plauod In nomination, but when It became apparent that Hluos waa out of the race and when the commit teemen from one state nfter another rose to second the Butler nomination Hlnes' friends withdrew his name and allowed Butler to be nominated by noolamation. Senator Butler was placed In numlna Iton by W. A. Guthrie of North Carolina, who eulogised blm as the son of a North Carolina farmer and spoke of him as a patriot and philanthropist. He said that Senator Butler was the youiMest man who had occupied a seat In the senate Inee the days of Clay, and that h had won and worn his laurels there most worthily. Numerous seconding speeclos were made, and the nomination was made by aoolaiuatlon amid a volley of applause. J. W. Hayes of the Knights of Labor and W. I). Vlnuent were ohosen temporary seui tary. Middle of the Road Men Oppose Butler The middle of the road men were In ses sion onuouslng upon the subject of tempo rary organization when they received the news that the national committee by an almost unanimous vote had selected Sena tor Marlon Butler for temporary chairman. At the moment this announcement was made Cyclone Davis of Texas walked through the oonfnronoe from one door to the other, and It was during bis pilgrim age that, In speaking of a man for tempo rary ohalrman, a delegate announced that Cyolone Davis was the man for the mid dle of the road men to select. After several speeches had been made Jerome Klrby, Populist nominee for gov ernor of Texas and who was presiding at the meeting, was roost favorably mention ed for temporary ohalrman and the declara tion made that he would be satisfactory to the middle of the road Populists. The an nouncement was received with cheers The meeting had been going on for some time before this stage was reached, but little progress had been made In a busi ness way. The real Interest centered around the position of Butler as a middle of the road oandldate. SENATOR BITLF.H. It Is apparent on the eve of the conven lng of the Populist convention that there will be three factions lu the convention the middle of the road eloment, headed by Cyolone Davis of Tolas, which will stand out against all compromises prior to the convention and to the election ; thofaotlon favorable to the Indorsement or nomlna tlonof Bryan and Sewall, and the compro mise men headed by Senator Butler of North Carolina, who favor the Indorse ment of Bryan, but who oontend for the right to name a southern Populist lu plaoe of Mr. Bewail for the position of vice pres ident. The Bryan people are still holding out very stlllly against any and all compro mises, and some of them go so far as to aay that l( they ure not successful In their contention they will leave the convention. Senator B.ntler Is strong tn the position that Mr. Bryan should be Indorsed upon a Populist platform, but says the southern people would never aooept Mr. Bewail, cot only because his affiliations are not with them, but because, above all, it they sur rendered both ofiioes It would mean the destruction of the People's Party. He olalnis to have almost the solid south be hind him and a strong following In the northern states. Mr. Davis oombats this position, claiming a majority In the con vention of over SOU tn favor of traveling tn the middle of the road, by which he means that no compromise Is possible In the oonveutlon. Mr. Davis contends that tn taking this position he Is not only conserving the In terests of his party but that he Is pointing to the sure road for the suocess of the free coinage of stiver and for other Populist reforms. He would have Populist candi dates for president and vice president named by the oonveutlon on a Populist platform, ooupled with a resolution bind ing the Populate to a fusion of electors. In advocating this plan, he says there would ba no oouulot tn the northwest, but admits there would be In the south. He asserts, however, that tn all sections the Demoorats would poll their full strength, and that even In the south th deflations to the Populist tloket would oome entire ly from the Hopublioan party. His plan la to divide the electors In the various states according to the ratio of the Deuiooratlo and Populist votes In those states. Sr. Donnelly Would Aooept. 8t. Louis, July 83. Mr. Ignatius Don nelly was asked if he was a oandldate for tha proeidanoy. He replied that he waa not, but, that he would aooept If the nom ination should be tendered, with the hope of promoting the Interests of his party. Sr. Donnelly holds that the party should ba maintained intaot, and that this can not he done by the Indorsement of Bryan and Bewail. He said that his name had been suggested by five of the congression al dlatrlou of his statu, but he had consid ered the movement In the nature of a per sonal oompllmeut, growing out of local pride, until the present time. He thinks that a fusion of electors la possible and aooept Cyolone Davis' plan with favor. He sold: "There Is a great battle waging hero. The Beform Press ashoclattun had the lurgoet meeting It ever held representing the Populists of the country. It resolved Imost unanimously ag:imst air. uryan. 1 bat will have a great effout I learned loifATirs noMJEI.LT. that the southern vote Is almost solidly against lilin. Of course I only speak at random, as 1 am told this by delegatus. The sentiment Is very bitter In the south because, they sny, they have been for years fighting the Demoorats. The fight has been to the death In many cases. Thny say the southern Democrats have treated them badly, depriving them of their votes, and to turn them over to the Democrats now, would mean the death of the Popu list party." A Vloe Presidential Candidate. ST. Louis, July 28. E. Gerry Brown, member of the Populist national oommlt tee from ' Massachusetts, will bo presented as a candidate of practically the whole of the New England dutcgatlon for vice pres ident.

They say further that while Mr. Sewall has been a large employer of lahur, he has never been known as a friend of the labor ing man. Mr. Brown Is brought forward as a man who has been aotlve in many lines of endeavor looking toward the bet terment of the laboring olasses. He Is the editor of the Brnokton Diamond, the or gan of the Populists of Massachusetts and the Brockton Central Labor union. He Is called by some the father of the Populist party, having made the motion In the committee on rules at the Clnolnnatl con ference whloh resulted tn the foundation of the party.

"When oertaln delegatus to the national Republican convention repudiated the flnanolal plank of the platform and with drew from the convention, we determined that wo would give our support to such oandtdatvs as should appear most willing and capable In aiding in the restoration of silver to Its rightful plaoe as standard money. - "The Democratic party In Chloago con vention has taken a position In Its plat form so pronounoedly favorable to sliver and has nominated candidates of such un usually unquestionable oonvlotlons In fa vor of the bimet al Ho polloy and of suoh high personal oharaoter that we have de termined to give them our support. We support suoh candidates booause they rep resent the groat principle of bimetallism, which we believe to be the cause of hu manity and civilization and the para mount question now before the American people. "Wo therefore announoe that we shall by voice and vote support Messrs. Bryan and Sewall for president and vlos presl dent, and ws appeal to all citizens, and especially to Republicans who feel as we do that gold monometallism 'would be of lasting Injury to the oountry to act with us In securing thslr election. "This Is a orltlcal period In our national history. Our industrial and financial in dependence of other nations and peoples Is Involved In this campaign, and we firmly believe there will be no return of prosper! ty until we shall have changed our finan cial systora so as to restore the bimetallic system established by our fathers of there public, and, so believing, we urge all friends of gold and sliver as standard money and the opponents of a single guld standard to give to Mr. Bryan and Mr. Sewall their hearty support. "In advising this oourse we do not ooo sldar it neoeesory that they shall abandon or surrender their political views on other questions." Ex-Mayor Oravos Dead. Syhaousb, July 83.

A repoVtor was able to get a statement from Lester Monk. He says: 'At the time of the mnrder I occupied an apartment between the ohartroom and the captuln a oabln. To the right of the oabln was the room ooouplod by the sec ond mate. At the time of the murder the onptaln was In the ohartroom. 'We all retired about 11 o oioox on tne night of Monday, July IS. Toward 1 o'clock on Tuesday mornlug I was awak ened by screams. I thought I might have been dreaming And turned over on my side. A fow scoonds after I board another soream. I realised that the alarm oame from Mrs. Nash. "I grabbed my revolver and took time only to put on my trousers and ran out, with the revolver In my hand, to ascertain the cause. I had to pass the captain's ohartroom. The light was burning. I saw the oaptain lying on the floor. "I heard footsteps In the companion- way and followed them to the deck. There I confronted the first mnte. He had a bil let of wood In his hand and assumed a threatening attitude. I leveled my revolv er at him and asked hltn who had com mitted the murdor. 'The first mate said he did not know, and we deotded to Investigate. All hands were called up. The oolored steward and I and the mate deolded to put Charles Brown, wbo was at the wheel at the time, tn Irons. The First Mate Accused. "In the morning I made the following report In the logbook, vis. : " 'On this day the steward of the said Herbert Fuller came to me and told me that the sailors all came nd made an open statement to him In reforenoe to one of the sailors, whose name Is Charles Brown. The statement was as to his guilt tn regard to the murder whloh took place on board said vessel. At once got each man's statement On the strength of these statements we oonoluded to put him In Irons at daybreak. At T a m. all bands wore mustered aft and thor oughly searched, and not other weapons were given them but their knives. " laoh man was then placed a oertaln distance apart from each other until after hours. Myself, the steward, and made were stationed amldshlp and a good look out kept until daylibt. " 'Charles Brown, the seaman who was put in irons, made a subsequent state ment, accusing the mate of the murder. He said ha saw him kill the oaptain through the transom over the ohartroom. "The steering of the ship was Intrusted to the first mate. The steward, who knew something of navigation, looked at the oompasa two days after the murder and said the first mate was not steering the oourse given him. He was steering the ship in an opposite direction. This looked suspicious, and tha steward and myself, after consultation, deolded to have the first mate placed under arrest. He was taken unawares and placed tn Irons. Tha steward then navigated the vessel to port off Halifax harbor. We tried to get the ship baok to Boston, but owing to tha wind at the time we wore obliged to maks for the Nova Sootlaa ooat and brought up near sable island. "We drifted about In the fog for soma time and finally saw a pilot, who brought the Fuller into this port. "We kept tha bodies for' three days, as long as we oould. The odor of decomposi tion then became unbearable and we de olded to plaoe them tn a boat and ' cover tbem with canvas. "The boat was towed behind the vassal. The oxperieuoe on board waa enough to make the stoutest heart quail, and it was a great relief to my pent up feelings when we cams to barbor in Halifax. Statne of Patriotism. Kingston, N.

In not a fow cases tbe gloves and shoes this season match the oostume. The norfolk style of oostume will be in high vogue all summer for yachting, cy cling, traveling and tennis wear. Crossed oorsages and many pretty fichu effect appear upon some of the dainty ana most poetlo creations of French genius. Gloves this summer will more frequently match the gown than they have done ot lato, the white and tun colors being less ot a universal livery. Jacket bodices of dresdon brocado in dainty colorings are worn with stylish aft ernoon toilets of mohatr, plain pcau da sole, fancy silk or etamlne. The linen duck, holhtnd, Rnsslan crash and pique stilts are very natty and stylish this year, but they Bhare honors with the handsome grass linen toilets. Among the dainty French novelties of the season are sabran vest fronts of bead wrought or spangled moussellne de solo, ohiffon and cream white net. Laos wrist ruffles partly veiling the hand are in great favor. This soft beautiful gar niture falling over delicate white hand enhances its charm and is also so aooom modatsng that It tends to oonoeal the Im perfection of a hand that Is too large or norm or exhibits other defects. Some very stunning Paris hats stun ning is the word received by a Fifth ave nue Importer this week are In broad brim med Rembrandt and pompadour shapes weighted with chaplet of grasses, brambles and hazel haves, this pale green foliage taking the place of the Ivy and green wheat so popular last year.

A recently opened guano eave In Georgia was found to be Inhabited by great swarms of white files having yellow logs and pale pink eyee. In India there Is a species of butterfly in which the male baa the left wing yellow and the right one red. The oolors on the female are vloe versa. In Hawaii and other islands of the Sand wich group there Is a species of flying ant which moves through the air backward as easily aa it can forward. The atlas moth, a gigantlo fur ooatod. night flying insect of central Brazil, is said to be the very largest winged bug In tba world. It measures 14 Inches from tip to tip. The air fox, or flying mouse, of Borneo la a moth but two inches loss in wing- spread than the Brazilian wouder men tioned above. This queer creature has a bead shaped something like that of a fus or a mouse. tit. Louis Republic. Mo a Case of Kavy. The mermaid sat on tho eold gray stone And looked with a kludluig eye At the smooth, white beach a mile away Where a pair of bloomer maidens gay Were wheeling merrily by.

Your own home is a protty gtxxl summer resort, after all Is said. Cans of potted meats or fish may be kept some time after they are opened and partly uaod, if they are covered with a little molted but ter or lard and kept in a cool plaoe. This makes the contents air tight and is easily removed when needed. When clothes become wrinkled from packing or from any cause tho wrinkles may be removed by hang ing in a heated room over night. Keep your rooms dark while the morning sun is on them and yon will find them much more habitablo in the evening. Charcoal lisone of the best friends of the housowife. All sorts of uten sils which have become mnstv through disuse or impregnated with the odors of strong vegetables through constant use may be puri fied by rinsing in water In whicli powdered charcoal is sprinklod. Charcoal placed in the compart ments of a refrigerator in which strong smelling foods are kept will prevent the odors from reaching the buttor, milk and other odor ab sorbing foods.

If desired a few drops of lemon juice may be added to tha sardines before spreading on bread. An TJp-hlll Fight. (From tho Cincinnati T linos-Star.) The attempt to make out a list of Democratio papers which support the Chicags ticket, to offset the list of bolting papers, was inspired by a laudable spirit cf fair play, but it ran up against so many geographical obstacles that it had to be abandoned. It started out like this : Cincinnati (O.) Enquirer. Tombstone (Ariz.) Epitaph. Red Cloud (Col.) Zephyr. Crazy Woman's Gulch (Mont.) Topknot. Mattawamkeag (Kan.) Sunday Kazoo. Hermit's Roost (Mo.) Tomcat. Moostocmagantio (Me.) Tin Horn. Canquomogomoo (Minn.) Weekly Blizzard. Cabin John (Tonn.) Latch String. In Scotland' there is a law that only genuine travelers who have journeyed at least seven miles can obtain a drink upon "the Sabbath," aa Sunday is called so universally. Formerly this worked fairly well, at it required a party to hire a wagon ; but a seven mile bicycle run is no thing nowadays, and a man who has a regular Sunday thirst upon him need not suffer either from lack of liquor or too much exercise. The sign in Glasgow saloons so often seen, " Remember the Sabbath," need not be obeyed. That sign, by the way, is nothing more than a caution to tho drinker to provido for the day when the saloon is closed. Let us learn to taste and to see that He ia with ns ; all things are His doing, and that is enough. Cardinal Manning,
