It THE SILVER WAVE GROWING That is What Gen: A. J. Warner Asserts to Be the Oase. Reports of the Founding of Demoer: tie Clubs—Alleged Discrimination by Telegraph Compantes. Senator Faulkner's return to the city re- sulted in a rush of visitors to democratic headquarters today. On the return of the Senator, Secretary Gardner left for Chica- go. He is supposed to be going there on bustness relating to the organization of clubs in certain middle western states. Assistant Secretary McKean announces that he enrolled fifty-seven clubs yesterday, and that he received ninety-three clubs from Minnesota for enrollment today. He says the Minnesota list is a partial one. Mr. McKean and Secretary Gardner are in correspondence with the railroads of the country in behalf of getting reduced rates to the St. Louis club convention. They be- lieve they will get the same rates accorded the conventions of the political parties. Mr. McKean declares that his letters become more encouraging each day. Richard G. Bregel, secretary of the sixth ward club of Newport, Ky., writes him that the club has eighty-seven members, and that one-third of them have heretofore voted the repub- lican ticket. Gen. Warner's Enthusiasm, Gen. A. J. Warner, the founder of the sil- ver party, was at democratic and silver headquarters today. He talked enthusias- tically on the situation to Chairman Faulk- ner and others. General Warner says that Iowa and Ohio are both certain for Bryan. “The miners and farmers of Ohio,” said General Warner, ‘‘were never more worked up over a matter in their lives. They know that their future depends on silver, and they are almost to a man for Bryan and the white metal. You can say that I say that, instead of the silver wave abating, it is growing every day. It cannot be stopped, and there is no use trying it. It is going to march on and sweep the country in Novem- ber. It will sweep everything clean.” Gen. Hunton’s Campaign. Gen. Eppa Hunton of Virginia spoke at Woodstock on Thursday. He will speak at Stafford Court House on the 16th, at Fair- tax Court House on thé 20th and at Hali- fax Court House on the 28th. He has re- cently been in Page, Rockingham, Clarke, Shenandoah, Loudoun and Culpeper coun- ties, and says the enthusiasm for Bryan is unprecedented. “We shall carry Virginia for Bryan by upward of 50,000 majority,” said General Hunton, “and shall send a solid democratic delegation to Congress. There is but little disaffection among the gold democrats—too little to talk about— and I was assured that we should gain from the republicans manyfold more than we lose from our ranks.” Mr. Difenderfer's Charge. Secretary Difenderfer of the silver party charges that the Western Union is frank- ing all the messages of the republican con- gressional committee, and declares that he can prove what he says. He considers this favoritism, and says his committee has to pay hard cash for all the messages it sends or receives. He believes that such a\ course on the -part of the Western Union will strengthen the demand for go mental control of telegraph lines. —— A Personnl Encounter Feared. The New Mexican of Santa Fe, N. M., prints a letter from Gov. W. T. Thornton, in which he declares Congressional Dele- gate T. B. Catron to be a poltroon, a liar and a coward. Catron is alleged to have dictated to the Albuquerque Citizen an abonymous communication which seriously reflects upon the personal and official char- acter of Gov. Thornton. Mutual friends of thé two parties fear a. personal encounter between them. Se en The Indispensable Wheel. Mr. Henry Demaine,who is now associated with the Remington agency, F. G.

AFFAIRS IN GEORG ETOWN “Catfish Joe” Badly Injured by Being Struck by an Electric Car. Accident to a Clergyman—Other Hap- penings of Interest in That Section. This morning shcrtly before 7 o'clock Jo- seph McPherson, better known as “Catfisti Joe, a familiar colored resident of this sec- tion of the city, was struck by car 223 of the Metropolitan raflroad on P street a few yards from the corner of 32d street. The negro attempted to cross the tracks in front of a moving train, pushing his wheel- barrow, which contained remnants of, sev- eral meals which he sold at the market houge. One car was standing near the cor- ner, ad the man evidently thought he had plenty of rocm to pass before the second car came up. His wheelbarrow was sma: ed to pleces, and the negro badly injured abcut the back, and bruised terribly on the legs. He was removed to his home at 1516 Valley street by Policeman Housel, where a physician was summoned. To Succeed Mr. Sweeny. The board of directors of the, Potemac Fire Insurance Company held a meeting last evening, at which a successor was elected to the late president, Mr. H. M. Sweeney, and the ranks of the board filled out. Mr. W. Riley Deeble, the vice president, and for many years the secretary, was elected pres- ident. Mr. M. J. Adler was elected to fill the vice presidency, made vacant by the promotion of Mr. Deeble. The vacancy on the board was filled at a previous meeting by the election of Mr. Archibald Greenlecs. Accident to a Clergyman. A slight accident occurred to Rev. Dr. Sweeney, the temporary pastor of St. Al- ban’s Church, on Wisconsin avenue near the Woodley Lane road. While riding up 32d street on an electric car he fell off in some manner and was slightly bruised about the body, receiving quite a Jar. He was taken to the home of Mr. Weaver, in the immediate vicinity of the accident, where some attention was paid to his in- juries. Found an Old Gun. Last evening a message was received at the police station from the Sisters of the Academy of Visitation, on 35th street, an- nouncing the finding of an old gun in one of the windows of the institution. How the weapon came in the place is not known and there is no clew. It is of an ancient style, with the lock rusted, and the stock rather light, with several initials carved on it in a crude way. The gun was found by Sister Theresa, who notilied the police. The weapon was turned over to the sev- enth precinct, and, if not claimed, will be turned over to the property clerk. Wife Would Not Make the Charge. Richard Frizzell, who lives on the Fox- hall road, was arrested last evening by Po- liceman Bradley of the county mounted force ard locked up on a charge of profan- ity. Later he was released on $5 collateral. It seems as though the young man had some trouble with his wife, and her screams attracted the policeman. The hus- band was arrested on a charge of assault- ing his wife, but at the station house she refused to make the charge. The police- man, however, preferred a charge of pro- fanity against the man, and on this ac- count he was locked up until collateral could be furnished. ° Notes. Since the return of Rev. Dr. Alexander, pastor of the West Street Presbyterian Church, the regular services will be re- sumed. Morning service and the Lord’s sup- per will be held in the morning at 11 o'clock, while the Sunday school will start at 9:30 o'clock. ‘The Young People’s Society of Christian Endeavor will meet at 7 o'clock in’ the evening.

All his property will be divided between the two surviving children, Col. Oliver H. Payne of New York, Mrs. Charles C. Bingham of Cleve- land, and the heirs of the late Mrs. William C. Whitney of New York. The approxi- mate value of the estate, which consists mostly of gilt-edged bank stocks, real estate and mining property, is about $8,000,000. This sum is much smaller than the late Senator was generally credited with possessing, but it is said that Mr. Payne had practically withdrawn from his once vast business interests several years ago and stopped trying to accumulate wealth. - sf ——____+«+_____ E.

The State Officers and the Legislature w it They Particularly Desire —Fasion May Come Later. The prettiest game of state politics in this country is being played in North Car- Olina, and the leaders of it are the shrewd- est men to be found in their party. On the result will depend the electoral vote of the state, the matter of nine Congressmen and the election of a legislature which will se- lect a United States Senator to succeed Senator Pritchard, republican, and a warm supporter of Maj. McKinley. To an outsider the situation in the tar- heel state is simply a mers, from which there appears to be no extrication. Senator Butler, who is credited with being the sharpest campaign manager in the national fight, finds himeelf with both hands full in one little state. There is more difficult work for him in his own state than in the national campaign. Fighting for Supremacy. In short, each of the three parties is fighting hard for supremacy, and the other two are fighting against it. The matter of the electoral vote of the state enters largely into the machinations, but the con- trol of the state is the feature to which the managers of the three parties are di- recting all their efforts. The electoral ticket 1s involved in the state fight. It is believed that ultimately there will be fusion between the democrats and pop- ulists on an electoral ticket, but the two parties may play each other until two weeks before the election, and then ar- range the fusion. There is nothing to pre- vent them doing this. Play for the Offices. While the effort to fuse is going on, how- ever, the contesting parties are playing the best games they can for members of Con- gress and for the legislature and county officers. ‘The populists say that when the demo- crats proposed an electoral fusion with the Populists they had a great game behind the scenes. The populists believe if they had accepted the plan for fusion it would have involved them in an informal under- standing to vote for democratic members of the legislature. This would have been equivalent to giving the democrats the leg- islature. This is what the populists are determined shall not he the case. They know they cannot get the legislature them- selves, but they don’t want either of the other parties to have it. They want to hold the balance of power. They want the legislature aivided up about equally. Then, when it comes to the election of a United States Senator, they can dictate the man, as they did when Pritchard was elected. They intimate that they want the legis- lature worse than anythirg else. Senator Butler denies that the populists have indorsed any of the republican cundi- dates for Congress, and says that the Pop- ulists will run nine candidates in that state. He intimates that the republicans will support the populist candidates in a majority of districts. For this Support the populists will give the republicazis the ma- jority of the county offices in the state. An immense amount of bluffing has been done by both sides. Some time ago Senator Pritchard stated that the republicans would carry the state without the assistance of the populists and said he did not believe the populists would carry 35,000 votes. lotwithstanding this, he went into fusion avrangements with the populisis the other lay. Candidate Bryan’s Visit. Candidate Bryan will make a big display in North Carolina on his way east, and the effect of his visit will be watched with ® great deal of interest. It is said that great preparations are being made for Mr. Bryan’s reception in the state. He will cover about fifty of the ninety-six counties of the state, speaking at the four largest cities, Asheville, Charlotte, Raleigh and Greensboro’. At these places there will be men from five to ten surrounding coun- ties. .Mr. Bryan will enter the state from the Tennessee side on next Wednesday morning, and will be met by a committce of prominent populists and democrats. | He will first stop at Asheville, and from there will proceed toward Salisbury, making short speeches at Hickory, Morgantown, Marion and Newton, reaching Statesville in the evening for another speech. Thursday he will be in Charlotte. Friday he will speak at Raleigh and Greensboro’. From Raleigh Mr. Bryan will go eastward and will speak at Wilson, Rocky Mount and elsewhere, going from North Carolina to Richmond, from which place he will come direct to Washington. ——-o+___ Bottlers’ Association.

British Pablic Opinion Prepared for Grave Events at Constantinople— France and Germany's Wishes. Special Cable Dispatch to the New York Sun. LONDON, September 11.—Even European diplomacy now recognizes the fact tha: the immediate settlement of the Turkish ques- ticn is imperative and inevitable. It still is true that only in Great Britain has the Fressure of publiwopinion upon the govern- ment become irresistible, but popular sen- timent in France and Germany is begin- ning to pror.ounce the doom of “the great astassin,” as Gladstone today describes him. It is persistently reported that the powers have decided to dethrone Abdul Hamid by force and to install another sultan in the Yildiz Kiosk. It is doubtful if thig action really hax been agreed upon. It fs prob- able, on the other hand, that the report that no agreement has been reached may be accepted as true. However that may be, the powers all admit the necessity of adopting. radical measures which will in- velve the stripping of the present sultan of his power for mischief. This is a dix- tinct advance from the position taken by Russia and the other powers in the crisis of last November. It means practically their consent to the reopening of the east- ern question and the grappling with the enormous perils of that situation. New indications appear almost hourly tending to show England's determination to face, and, if necessary, to force the cri- sis. Public opinion is being prepared care- fully for this action by the London govern- ment organs. There are other signs of a crisis at hand. Even yesterday's unexpect- €d increase of the bank rate and the fall of consols receive a political interpreta- tion, and the order of the admiralty today for the immediate commissioning of six new commerce destroyers has a similar significance, It is by no means clear how the sultan’s deposition would be accomplished, even if decided on. Nothing less than the forcying of the Dardanelles by the combined fiee:s nd the landing of a large force at Con- antinople would be likely to be effective. That would involve heavy fighting and many complications, unless, indeed, the Turkish power of resistance should collapse unexpectedly, as did the Chinese two years ago. It is suggested that the moment has now arrived for the young Turkey party to act. The powers might give them tacit encouragement to put a new sultan on the throne by promising immediate recognition and moral support. The opinion is gaining ground in Europe that Abdul Hamid is one of the most cun- ning of madmen, and this strengthens the conviction that it is necessary to be rid of him. The latest news from Constantinople is that popular apprehension is increasing. All Europe believes that a series of dra- matic events is impending. see Transfers of Real Estate. Walter B.
