BRYAN - DODGING
THE POPULISTS,
Notification of the St. Louis
Nomination Not
Desired.
ANGERED CONSTITUENTS
Bateman of Maine Says if He
Don't Accept Somebody
Else Will.
SEWALL IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
People's Party Men Insist That the
Nebraska Orator at Once Say
"Yes" or "No."
LJSWISTON, Mx., Aue. 23.— "Mr. Bryan
will be notified of his nomination by the
Populists." So said L. C. Bateman, Popu
list candidate for Governor of Maine, and
secretary of the notification committee of
the St. Louis Populist convention. Con
tinuing, ne declared: "This conspiracy to
dodge the Populist nomination will not
work. We refuse to be used as a door mat
for Mr. Bryan to walk on ; we will notify
him of his nomination witn Watson, and
he will have to answer. If he doesn't
accept, we have the power to pull him
down and fill the vacancy. He sent his
mrikers to St. Louis, Senator Jones and
others, and fairly begged us for the
nomination. Now he thinks he can injure
us. We will show him whether he can
or not.
"Senator Allen of Nebraska," said he,
"has been playing into the hands of the
Democrats in this notification matter, but
he is only one out of foity-four members
of the committee. Apropos of Sewall, we
beg to remind our Democratic friends
that cutting off the ears of a jackass and
ginning a few feathers on his tail doesn't
make him a canary bird.
"Again, if William J. Bryan is going to
stand for a bank president and trust mana
ger, as against Tom Watson, he will wake
up after the November election with his
crown of thorns still on his head."
MeKIXjLEY'S MAUD WORK.
Has Made Fifty Campaign Speeches and
If ill 3lafee> as Many More.
CANTON. Ohio, Aug. 28.— After a week
, of uncommonly hard work Major McKin
ley enjoyed a day of absolute rest. . The
weather was inclemen in the morning
and he remained &i home. In the after
noon he tooK Mrs. McKinley out for a
drive.
Charles G. Dawes, a member of the Na
tional Executive Committee, and Major
Charles S. Dick, who is also an importan t
factor in the Western headquarters, came
to Canton to-day to consult with Major
McKinley. They had a long talk over the
situation in the West, whicn seems to
present many more difficulties than that
in the Eastern States.
Major McKinley expects to be very busy
this coming week. He will make two
speeches on Monday, one to a delegation
of farmers from Knox County, Ohio, and
the other to a number of potters aud
other citizens of East Liverpool.
There have been a great many farmers
in several of tne delegations which have
come to Canton, but there has been no
delegation composed exclusively of farm
ers, and the one coming to-morrow will be
the first of that description. The farmers
have not come in large delegations, for
the reason that they have been very busy
since the nomination of McKinley with
their harvests. During the months of Sep
tember and October a large number of
agriculturists will call. Upward of a
thousand are coming on excursions and a
good many letters have been received here
from farming communities indicating
that the desire to see Major McKinley is
steadily growing.
The demand for Republican political
literature is widespread, insistent and
earnest. Not only are all committee
headquarters burdened with requests for
documents, but Major McKinley's mail
contains daily a score of letters of similar
purport. These letters are referred to
the State or National Committees and the
writers would save time by so addressing
them in the first place.
Between the first of this week and the
third day of November Major McKinley
expects to make a great many speeches,
probably not fewer than fifty. He has al
ready made half a hundred since his
nomination and they have been collected
and printed in a neat pamphlet, which is
ready for distribution here to-morrow.
There will be another edition of his
speeches about October L
The demand for them is so great, not
withstanding the fact tuat they are all
published in the newspapers, that it has
been found necessary to print them in
book form. Major McKinley still insists
that be will take no holiday during the cam
paign, but he has promised to go to Zoar,
about eighteen miles from Canton, where
he hopes to remain two or three days.
He will also make a few very brief visits
to Cleveland during the campaign. All
the rest of the time he will spend in
Canton.
SEIAN AND HILL, TO MEET.
Arrangement* for the Senator and the
Sebmskan to Launch Together.
TARRYTOWN, N. V., Aug. 23.—Ac
cording to present arrangements William
J. Bryan will lunch with Senator David B.
Hill in Albany on Tuesday afternoon. Mr.
Bryan will not say so, but the statement
is nevertheless true.
When a representative of the United
Associated Presses asked the Democratic
candidate about the matter this evening
Mr. Bryan would not give any informa
tion on the subject.
There was a rumor at Upper Red Hook
the day Mr. Bryan accepted the invitation
to be the gaest of Chairman Hinkley of
the State Democratic Committee, at Win
nisook Lodge in the Catskills, that Sena
tor Hill would meet him in the quiet of
that mountain camp, where they would be j
The San Francisco Call.
free from interruption and from the like
lihood of having too much public atten
tion drawn to their conference. Mr. Bryan
and Senator Hill have undoubtedly
reached an understanding, through those
who conducted the negotiations for their
consultation, as to the ground on which
each shall stand when they come together.
With such a foundation to start from they
can perfect any mutual agreement in much
shorter time than they could if there had
been no prearrangement.
When Mr. Bryan leaves Winnisook
Lodge Tuesday afternoon he will be more
familiar with what the Democratic State
organization proposes with regard to his
candidacy. Chairman Hinkley will in ail
likelihood make him better acquainted
with the position Senator Hill intends to
assume. Mr. Hill and Major Hinkley
stand very close to each other in political
matters, and the beliei has been that the
State chairman has been authorized to
speak with some degree of authority for
the Senator. That visit to Winnisook
Lodge will extend from tomorrow evening
until the next afternoon.
Mr. and Mrs. Bryan will say goodby to
Upper Red Hook at noon to-morrow and
proceed to Rhinecliffe by carriage. A tug
will be at Rhinecliffe at 2 o'clock to carry
them across the Hudson at Rondout,
where they are to take a train for Big In
dian, from which place they will drive to
WinnisooK Lodge. Tuesday they will
leave Winnisook Lodge in time to catch
th '. New York Central train arriving in
Albany at 4:05 p. m., and will start for
Syracuse at 7:55.
Mr. Bryan attended services at the
Dutch Reformed Church in Upper Red
Hook this morning in company with Mr.
Perrine. There was no unusual crowd
present.
Rev. G. D. Lydecker, the gpastor of the
church, conducted the services, and in his
prayer thus referred to Mr. Bryan : "And
specially bless thy servant whom we have
in our midst, thy honored servant. Fili
him with wisdom and power for the anx
ieties and fatigues of the coming days and
fill him with hope and confidence in all
thy purposes concerning him and these
people." The sermon was preached by
Dr. Robert H. Barr of the Associated Re
formed Church ot Newburg. He made no
direct reference to the Democratic candi
date nor to the political situation.
After tne services both ministers came
down from the pulpit and shook hands
with Mr. Bryan, many of the congregation
following their example.
The position taken by President Lewis
Miller of the Chautauqua Assembly con
cerning the report that the Democratic
candidate would speak at Chautauqua
next Sunday, is indorsed by Mr.
Bryan. Several newspapers contain
a statement from President Miller
denying that Mr. Bryan would
speak there, unless an arrangement could
be made to have Major McKinley appear,
and when this was shown Mr. Bryan he
said:
"I shall not speak there. Being inter
ested in Chautauqua work my wife and I
will avail ourselves of th« opportunity to
see the parent association. The work of
the association is non-partisan and the
president is quite right in saying that
neither candidate should speak there un
less both are invited."
A number of people called at the Per
rine residence to-day to see Mr. Bryan.
Mr. and Mrs. Bryan presented them with
buttons bearing the picture of the candi
date.
SOUND-MONEY DEMOCRATS.
Prospect* of a Large Attendance at the
Indianapolis Convention.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. 23.— Sound
Money Democrats from throughout the
country who drop into the headquarters
of the National Democracy here to look
over the ground and size up the prospects
for the convention declare that the move
ment is gathering strength beyond their
expectations, and is developing a force
they little hoped for when they launched
it.
It is generally understood among the
members of the National Committee that
the New York delegation shall be permitted
to name the temporary chairman of the
convention, and it is the supposition that
it will select Bourke Cockran, though this
can hardly be determined until the dele
gation arrives on the ground the next day
after the members are elected. For per
manent chairman there has been
much talk of Senator Vilas of
Wisconsin, but during the last
few days Vilas has loomed up in large
proportions as a possibility for the Presi
denial nomination, and if this seems
probable when the convention meets the
permanent chairman will probably be
taken from the South. There is much
talk of Senator Caffery of Louisiana and
ex-Governor Jones of Alabama for the
position.
The correspondence of the executive
committee indicating a larpe attendance
upon the convention is borne out by the
hotel engagements that have been pouring
in since Friday night. Among tbe prom
inent Democrats from various States who
have engaged quarters for the convention
are: Ex-Governor Roswell P. Flower,
John R. Fellows of New York. Senator
Vilas and General E S. Bragg of Wiscon
sin, Governor Walter, Joel A. Sperry and
David A. Wells of Connecticut, W. P. C.
Breckinridge and W. H. Haideman of
Kentucky, J. E. Outhwaite of Ohio, Gen
eral Palmer, Controller Eckels and John
P. Hopkins of Illinois, ex-Secretary Fair
child of New York, Senator Caffery of
Louisiana. ex-Governor Jones of Alabama,
Governor Why te and Congressman Kayner
of Maryland, Secretary Morton of Ne
braska and Senator Gray of Delaware.
LETTERS OF ACCEPTANCE.
McKinley and Hobart Will Declare
Themnelves Ttiltt Meek.
■ NEW YORK, N. V., Aug. 23.-The Sun
to-morrow will say: It is stated on the
best authority that the letter of the Hon.
William McKinley, accepting the nomina
tion of the Republican party for the Pres
idency, will be made public this week.
The candidate will break the record In
sending in hi« letter thus early, as it has
been usually well into September before
the candidates for the Presidency have
published their formal acceptance. Mr.
Hanna and the other campaign managers,
nowever, have recognized this as an ex-"
ceptional year.
The campaign is further advanced than
it has ever been before in a Presidential
year since the organization of the Repub
lican party, and it was concluded that it
would be well that the candidates should
get out their letters and declare them
selves in unmistakable terms on the
chief issues as >-oon as possible. Vice-
Presidential Candidate Hobart has only
been awaiting tl.e action of the head of the
ticket, and his letter will be maae public
immediately following that of Major Mc-
Kinley.
SAN FRANCISCO, MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 24, 1896.
William Jennings Bryan declines to discuss the issues of the campaign with any one other than
Mr. McKinley.— Press Dispatch.

Chihuahua.

ASCENSION RODRIGUEZ SHOT.
A Leader in the Uprising Executed
at Oj naga — Desperados Join
the Revolt.
NEW YORK, N. V., Aug. 23.— A Re
corder special from San Antonio, Texas,
says: Another battle has occurred be
tween the large band of Mexican outlaw
fanatics and a force of Mexican soldiers,
who attacked the revolutionists in the
Pequas Canyon, Chihuahua, Mexico, just
across the Rio Grande from Presidio
County, Texas. Three bandits and one
soldier were killed. The bandits were pat
to flight.
Ascension Rodriguez, one of the bandit
leaders, who was captured a few days ago,
has been shot at Ojinaga. A large num
ber of desperate characters have disap
peared from Texas border counties, and
are believed to have joined the outlaw
band, which now numbers over 500,
The Dandits pretend to be revolution
ists, and allege that their operations are
directed against the Mexican Government.
They claim to belong to the same army as
the band of fanatics which recently at
tacked Nogales, Sonora.
Santa Teresa Urrea, the wonderful
leader of the fanatics, reached Valentine,
Tex., yesterday. She is on her way from
Nogales to join the band of men operating
across the river from the Texas border. A
force of Texas rangers has gone to Pre
sidio, Tex., and will prevent trouble on
this side of the Rio Grande.
Nearly 1000 Mexican troops are on their
way from Chihuahua and other points in
that State to the scene of the trouble.
Sheriff Dan Knight of Presidio County is
tnere and the latestadvices from him say:
"I have crossed tne river from Ojinaga.
The officers have just received word that
they will be attacked this evening. Fifty
armed men left Ojina-a to meet the
fanatics, twenty miles from here. There
are fifty or sixty of them, but the officers
at Ojinaga think there are more hiding in
the mountains. Two days ago the soldiers
made a raid on the fanatics and they
"os-ed to this side.
'•Things look gloomy here and the
officers ask for protection from this side,
as the bandits will cross to this side when
they are overpowered. I think Captain
Hughes should come at once, with all the
help he can bring. I have telegraphed
him to do so.
'•We expect every moment to hear of a
right on tne other side. People at Ojinaga
are excited, as they think the town will
probably be destroyed when the outlaws
cross to this side, so they can't get at
them. The telegraph wires were cut again
\
yesterday. If possible, we ought to have
a company of soldiers."
RUNAWAY TROLLEY-CAR.
Jumps a Curve on a Steep Grade — No
One Killed Outright, but litany
A~e Badly Injured.
NEW YORK. N. V., Aag. 33.— A special
to the Herald from Frederics, Md., says:
A runaway trolley-car carrying more than
100 passengers dp.shed down the Catoctin
Mountains this evening, and in rounding
a curve upset aud was smashed into
kindling wood. Although going at the
rate of sixty miles an hour at the time of
the accident, no one was killed outright,
but forty were injured, some of them
seriously.
The line had just been started and ex
tended from Frederick City to Catoctin
Heights, a distance of five miles. It was
soon after dark this evening when car 101
started down the mountain for home. It
accommodated only sixty passengers, but
the crowd fought to get on in spite of the
conductor's protests.
After traveling at a high rate of speed
about a mile, Motorman Mutz tried to
stop, but found that while the brake
worked on the front wheels, he could not
control tnose in the rear. The passengers
became panic-striken, and the car shot on
until about two and a half miles down the
mountain, when it jumped a curve.
Thomas Anderson, a native of Frederick,
was injured internally and w*i!l die. Miss
Annie Buckles, aged 40 years, is badly
bruised and suffering from the shock.
Others had arms and legs broken. Relief
was sent from Frederick.
PREACHER AND REPORTER FIGHT
Disgraceful Seen' in- a Georgia Howe of
JTovhlp.
MACON, Ga., Aug. 23.— A sensation was
caused in the leading Methodist church of
this city to-night by a difficulty between
Rev. Alonzo Monk, pastor of the church,
and Tilden Adamson, a reporter of the
Daily Telegraph. Adamson reported the
reverend gentleman's sermon last Sunday,
which was pronounced by the pastor to be
incorrect.
At to-night's service the Rev. Monk was
particularly severe on the reporter and
reflected on him in such a manner as to
cause Adamson to resent it at the end of
the sermon. Going to the pulpit the
young man demanded an explanation of
of the doctor's remarks. An exchange of
.words angered both gentlemen, whereupon
they grappled each other.
Deacons of the church rushed forward
and an exciting exchange of blows be
tween them and the reporter followed.
The newspaper man stood firm and de
fended himself as best he could against
odds. Police were sent for. The con
gregation was greatly excited, more than
1000 people being present. Women and
men stood on tiptoe to watch the outcome
of the scuffle. Finally order was restored,
but the services were shortened by the
scene.
The trouble to-night was the outcome of
his sermons on the barrooms of jviacon.
SE RIO US STRIKE SITUATION.
Tin plate factory Operatives Propose to
Use the Boycott.
ELWOOD, Ind., Auk. 23.— The strike
situation at the tinplate factory is serious.
When asKed what they would do when
tho men were brought here on Monday to
take their places, one of tne leading
strikers said :
♦'We will let them go to work if they
want to. We will not try to prevent them
by force."
Their plan, it is learned, is to boycott
every business man in the city who owns
stock or is interested in the company in
anyway. The tin plate company is* ar
rangine to start on Monday, and it is
lojirned that to-morrow morning a special
train will arrive here from Pittsburg,
bringing non-union men to take the strik
ers' places, and they will be taken into the
factory and put to work regardless of any
interference on the part of the strikers, if
any is made.

Charges of Treachery on the
Part of the Engineers

TART TALK AT TERRE HAUTE.
Members of the Various Orders Ad.
vised to Do as They Please
Politically.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Aug. 23.— The
union meeting of the railroad brother
hoods to-day was made sensational by
reason of the fact that the local trades
unions declined the invitation to attend,
and did so in such terms as caused Chief
Arthur of the engineers and Grand Master
Sargent of the firemen to. make bitter re
plies to the assaults on the old brother
hoods. It was known that Eugene V.
Debs, president of the American Railway
Union, is the admired labor leader here at
his home, and what Arthur and Sargent,
especially the former, said to-day is ac
cepted as replies to the statement often
made by Debs, that the old class organiza
tions had passed the day of their useful
ness.
There were four or five hundred railroad'
men present, many accompanied by
women members of their families. The
Terre Haute trade union men were not
represented by as many as a dozen. Sar
gent showed his feeling in the intense way
in which he defended his organization
from the implication that it had not been
fraternal in its relations with trade un
ions; that it is an aristocratic labor organ
ization. The Central Labor Union had
said in the resolution that the brother
hoods had held aloof from tne labor or
ganizations and that Chief Arthur had
said the engineers' organization is not a
labor union. Sartent said the Firemen's
Brotherhood takes no exception to the
vie ws of others in regard to labor, but it
will not permit to go unchallenged the as
sertion that it is dying and in disgrace.
It remaius in Terre Haute, by its lodge,
composed of good citizens, and it is going
to remain here. Referring to the political
issues of the year, he said the men should
discuss the issues among themselves,
without regard to party. They must not
wait until some one in authority over them
told them how to vote. In the lodgeroom
they shoulo strip themselves of the in
fluence of party or clique or corporation.
When they do this the day of salvation
for the wage-earner will be here.
Chief Arthur followed Sargent, begin
ning with the assertion that he was there
to defend the engineers. He had seen the
statement that he had said the brother
hood is not a labor organization, and he
wanted to brand it as a wicked falsehood.
He has always said it was a labor organ
ization, composed of men representing a
branch of labor he considered to be skilled
labor. It is true it is confined to one class
of labor. If all classes of labor were thor
oughly organized in their, respective •
classes there would be no difficulty in each
securing its demands. Tf all firemen were
in the organization and there should be
occasion for all the firemen on one road to
quit work, the company would be unable
to get men to take their places.
"To show that P. M. Arthur is not what
he has been represented to be," said he.
"I want to say that I commenced as a
wiper and was promoted to be a fireman
and then an engineer. I always knew my
place. I would advise men to shun sa
loons and gambling dens. If that is
preaching aristocracy I am an aristocrat.
If I had my way I would close all the sa
loons and there would be no occasion for
a Keeley Institute. The workingmen are
their own worst enemies, but the Brother
hood is making better men of the men in
the train service. It is said that the En
gineers' Brotherhood has failed to give
protection to its members. Wherever it
has so failed it has been because of the
perfidy aud treachery of the members
themselves on the road where the griev
ance existed."
He challenged any one to truthfully
contradict this stoteraent.
This was in reference to the statement
by Eugene V. Debs recently, that thirty
engineers had been discharged from tbe
Plant system as part of the policy of the
managers of that system to drive organ
ized labor off' the road, and that no at
tempt was made by Arthur to protect
them. Chief Arthur said that the broth
erhood had paid $6,000,000 insurance. To
day it has 107 written contracts with rail
road companies as to wages. In one year
it expelled 370 members for drunkenness
and it was steadily raising the moral
standard of engineers.
Chief Clark of the conductors also spoke,
but in a general way.
Grand Master Morrissey of the train
men, in the course of his remarks said the
politicians were filled with promises or
dire predictions, but the only way in
which tbe wage standard can be main
tained is through organized labor. The
political parties will not do it.
Secretary Austin of the Order of Teleg
raphers also spoke.
UNIVERSAL SEAMEN'S STRIKE.
A Demand for Better Wages and Conditions
That Will Extend Throughout the
World.
NEW YORK, N. V., Aug. 2a— lt is re
ported here that preparations are being
made for a longshoremen's and seamen's
strike all over the world.
Andrew Furuseth of San Francisco, sec
retary of the Pacific Coast Seamen's
Union; E. T. Eiderkin, secretary of the
National Seamen's Union, and H. E. Bar
ter, secretary of the International Long
shoremen's Union, have been correspond
ing with seamen of different countries
about arranging for a universal strike.
They believe that a strike of seamen and
longshoremen to be successful should be
universal. The leaders here have been
corresponding with seamen's unions in
England, France, Austria. Germany, Italy
and Portugal.
One of the leaders of the Atlantic Coast
Seamen's Union said yesterday that the
big dock strikes in England were only a
prelude to bigger strikes, and the time was
nearly ripe for a strike of seamen and
longshoremen everywhere.
Conferences were being held in Great
Britain and other shipping centers, and
there was a general feeling that a great
struggle was near.
The demands are for better wages and
conditions, and for guarantees that sea
men will be protected against the tyranny
of unjust captains and shipping masters.

SOON RELAPSES INTO STUPOR.
Peculiar Condition of a Woman Who,
by S ight Chance, Escaped
Burial Alive.
PORTLAND, On., Aug. 23— Mrs. Mary
S. Albertson, wfio by the slightest chance
escaped being inhumed alive in tuis city
several weeks ago, is again undergoing a
living death, attended by circumstances
so remarkable that physicians and scien
tists are completely nonplused. Mrs.
Albertson was believed to have died of
typhoid fever on the morning of July 27,
and two days later preparations were made
for her interment. Frank Tnurman, an
old hospital nurse and a friend of the
woman, believing that he detected some
spark of life in the remains, almost got
into several personal altercations because
of his refusal to permit the burial until
more certain evidences of death had mani
fested themselves. The old nurse's pre
mises were correct, for with the aid of a
galvanic battery and other restoratives
the seemingly dead woman was brought
to life on the morning of August 4. Dur
ing all the time that she was laid out for
burial she was cognizant of what was pass
ing about her, yet unable to articulate a
sound or move a muscle.
Mrs. Albertson had sufficiently recov
ered on August 10 to visit friends near
Grants Pass, and on the evening of her
departure from Portland she seemed in
excellent health. But now she is once
more in a cataleptic state.
Tnurman to-day received a letter from
B. S. Biochxneier, whose family Mrs. Al
bertson is visiting, announcing that she
became very iil two days after her arrival
there and on the third day she was dead,
to all appearances. But for her narrow
escape from being buried alive here, she
would have suffered the most horrible
fate conceivable by the human mind.
The galvanic battery was again applied,
but it proved useless until noon on Tues
day. Then the cataleptic trance gradually
released its hold on tbe patient and at 4
o'clock she asked for a drink of water.
She, however, failed to realize where she
was and complained bitterly at being re
moved from the society of her parents
(both dead), with whom she was having a
delightful visit.
In this instance she had been abso
lutely unconscious of passing events and,
as the theosophists have it, her astral
body had been wandering about in celes
tial realms. It was almost impossible to
convince her that she had for several days
been in a death-like trance.
For several hours she raved like one
demented for having been brought back
to earth. At 9 o'clock that night she
grew more lucid and able to grasp her
phenomenal condition. When bright
enough to realize her second frightful
escape she went into convulsions and at
midnight was again in a trance. The
letter adds that since then, up to Friday
evening, Mrs. Albertson's reason has but
once been restored by means of the gal
vanic battery.
A remarkable feature in connection with
this case is that while in the trance Mrs.
Albertson's respiration and pulsations are
absolutely imperceptible. Her medical
attendant says her life hangs on a frail
thread and death is likely to ensue at any
moment.
