Co?operator in Affs
DEMOCRATS ANDINDEPENDE
HARRI3BURG, Pa., Dec. 30.?Senator
Washburn, of Crawford county, who
was elected two years affo, as a Populist
with Democratic nnd Prohibition
endorsement. Issued a formal statement
to-night, announcing that he had
allied himself with tho Republican
party and shall participate In Its councils
and orgaoiizatlon. Mr. "Washburn
voted "with the Democracy at the last
session for George A. Jenks for United
States senator and took part In Its
councils and voted for oil party measures.
His statement follows:
"I was elected two years ago as a
Populist, receiving the support of the
Prohibitionists and a larger share of
the Democratic voters In my district.
Hoping to secure results along reform
lines, I co-operated with the Democrats
during the last session, but was
disappointed in the outcome. The
Democrats of the state have seemed to
be more intent upon partisan and pergonal
advantage than In a desire to cooperate
with all other forces to secure
needed legislation.
The Case of Towne.
"The example of the national Democratic
convention in refusing to endorse
Towne because he was not an old
line Democrat, is an illustration of the
spirit which has largely prevailed
among Democratic leaders In this commonwealth:
nor have the insurgent Republicans
shown any desire to co-operate
with others for nnv numo^p Avronf
personal or partisan sain for themselves.
The disrepute Into- which .the
regular Republican organization was
brought previous to 1893, was caused by*
the scandals and corruption of which
the members of the Pittsburgh and
Philadelphia political rings were guilty.
It was not. Quay as much as the unscrupulous
work of his .followers in the
two cities that precipitated the factional
fight in the Republican party. Now
the members of these rings, who are
the real culprits the people ought to
punish, have raised a cry for 'reform,'
and under cover of opposition to Quay
cunningly seek to profit by the reaction
against their party that their own misdeeds
have brought about.
Old Issues Permanently Settled.
"Since the last election I have considered
most of the Issues fought out
during that campaign as permanently
settled, and while I do not regret my

I believe that the tremendous
popular majority given to the Republican
administration takes out of the
realm of practical consideration, most
of the problems then discussed. Desiring
to be a co-operator rather than
a fault Under, recognizing, that the
People's party in Pennsylvania la extinct
as a state organization and that
the overwhelming majority of the people
of this commonwealth desire an instant
cessation of the factional strife
that has for years corrupted the politics
and prevented the proper administration.
of the affairs of the state, I
6hall henceforth ally myself with the
Republican party. In this course I believe
I shall be upheld by the majority
CUDAHY RECEIVES AH
LETTE
? OMAHA,
Neb., Dec. 20.?The Cudahy
family remained at home toLday, and
beyond giving out an exact copy of the
text of the latest letter received by him
from the kidnappers,. Mr. Cudahy refused
to see any representative of the
press. The orthography of the letter is
poor, as is also the writing, which is in
the same hand as the letter of December
19, demanding tho ransom.
The postmark shows that the letter
was mailed at the postofllce at 8, a. m.,
Saturday, December 22, showing clearly
that one of tho gang of abductors was
In the pOBtoillce on that date, If the letter
had the same origin as the letter
demanding the ransom. That the origin
wtin the same is attested by General
John C. Cowin, who saw both missives.
The letter reads:
Wording of tlie Letter,
"Cudahy, if you value the boy's life
at the Trice of A Bullet, you will withdraw
the Reward at once. And let well
enouKh aione, if. You don't do this we
will finish (bo Job with ,a Bullet. If any
man, whether guilty or Innocent, In ever
arreted a Bullet, will closc the Boy's
mouth. You will think of thla warning
When It I* to late."
The only marked difference between
this letter and the letter demanding a
rnrmom In in the greater number of mln?pel!cd
words. Thin, however, may ho
an affectation, for the most difficult
words are npclled correctly, while Home
of the simple words are misspelled.
The letter was given out by General
John H. Cowln, attorney for Mr. Cudahy.

"In allying myself with the Republican

Created Great Surprise.
Mr. Washburn's declaration created
much surprise, as he was counted on by
the Democrats to vote with, them on the
organization of the senate and for the
party nominee for United States senator.
His desertion gives the friends of
Col. M. S. Quay cbtftrol of the senate
und practically insures the election of
William P. Snyder, of Chester, as president
pro tem.
The Washburn incident has made no
material change in the calculations of
Colonel Quay's opponents. They still
insist that the former senator will not
be elected and that the anti-Quay Republicans
and Democrats will control
the organization of the house. Senator
William Flinn, of Allegheny, the leader
of the anti-Quay Republicans in Western
Pennsylvania, said to-night that the
defeat of Quay for senator and William
T. Marshall for speaker, was absolutely
assured. Colonel James M. Guffey, of
Pittsburgh, the Democratic leader, In a
statement to-night, says:
Try Fusion Organization.
"At a meeting of the house Democrats
to-morrow mohilng a committee
will-be appointed to meet a like committee
of Independent Republicans to
go over the question of a fusion organization
of the house. My Information
is that If the independent Republicans
have sufficient votes to accomplish Jt,
that the Democrats will be unanimous
for a fusion organization on a fair and
equitable basis."
Air. .u;irbii;ui says puaiuveiy taut inc
stalwart Republicans tvIH organize the
house and that he will be elected speaker.
Colonel Quay's friends are Jubilant
over the accessions of Senator
Washburn and profess to be absolutely
confident of his election. A caucus of
the anti-Quay Republicans will he held
to-morrow to formulate a plan for fusion
with the Democrats on the organization
of the house. A candidate for
United States senator may also be
chosen. The stalwart Republicans of
the senate and house will hold caucuses
to-morrow evening to select officers
and employes, and on Tuesday evening
to formally nominate Colonel Quay for
senator.

but I advised strenuously that

I thought It was to the Interest

Mr. Cudahy states that he has not

SATISFACTION EXPRESSED
PEKIN, Dec. 30.?Tho Chinese plenipotentiaries
have been unexpectedly ordered
to sJgn the preliminary Joint note
and have notified the foreign envoys to
that effect.
Tho Chinese themselves were greatly
astonished at receiving the imperial Instructions.
Neither LI Hung Chang
nor Prince Ching had expected success
in persuading the court under ten days.
The emperor's Instructions are to
agree fully to the note but to endeavor
to get the best terms poslble, particularly
In the matter of limiting the number
of the legation guards and also as
to the places where these are to be
located.
The plenipotentiaries are Instructed to
endeavor to limit the number of army
posts along the line of railway to as few
as possible and finally to request the
powers not to destroy the forts, but
merely to disarm them.
Earl LI in Bad Health,

Instrument delegating his powers to
Prince Chlng until another plenipotentiary
has been appointed. Ho was

chair to the residence of Prince Chlng,
with whom he held a long consultation.
Prince Chlng then called upon the Doyen
of the diplomatic corps, the Spanish
minister, Senor De Colognn, and requested
him to notify the other envoys
that the instructions had been received
from the emperor to sign the note.
Americans Greatly Pleased.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.?Tho report
that the Chinese plenipotentiaries hod
