KANSAS CRY, June Ia Joint meet.
ing Of the democratic and peoples parties
of Kansas was held here today which
may ultimately result in not only de
fcating the republicans again at the
coming state election, but also in their
transferring Kansas from the list OF re.
publican states to at least the doubtful
column. The meeting today decided
that it would be well for the democratic
and peoples parties to form Il coalition
against the republicans ia the coming
election.
The meeting went into secret session
at II o'clock and did not adjourn till )
in the afternoon. During the intcrvcn-
ing hours the whole matter of fusion
was thoroughly discussed and il rcsolu-
ton was adopted giving the sense Of the
meeting as in favor of "a fusion. The
resolutions set forth the advantages Of
fusion and arrangcs the details of the
coalition as follows: Democrats are TO
be given candidates for chief Justice of
the supreme court and congressman at
large. The rest of the state ticket is to
be given to the peoples party. The
candidates of the two parties will be
nominated at separate conventions, dem
Ocrats on the democratic platform and
peoples party men on "a reform platform,
the object being to avoid Endorsement
by either party Of the others principles.
The matter Of presidential electors
was discussed thoroughly and it was
decided that a coalition should be
formed also in that direction. Details
of the fusion on that quarter were not
definitely decided upon the matter be
ing left to a meeting to be held later.
The reason for %postponing action on the
fusion on the presidential electors was
IT," desire of the alliance to get the
whole plum. They want all presidential
electors while the democrats think they
are entitled to half of them considering
concessions they have made on the state
ticket. They want to divide electors
equally between both parties. It is be
licvcd the difference between the two
parties on this lucftion will be amicabiy
settled.
The general sentiment Of melting was
anything 10 heat the republicans. RIP
rcscntativrs Of both parties were willing
to make almost any concession to attain
that end. The man most prominently
mentioned in connection with the nomi
option by the democrats for the demo
cratic candidate for chief justice Of the
supreme court is Judge John Martin, u
life long democrat. Dave Ovcrmcyer Of
seemed to be the ~favoritc for
the nomination for congressman at large.
The peoples party men wanted Attorney
General Ives for governor but the demo
Gratis did not think hlm strong enough.
That opinion however was gwen only IN
and advisory may the nomination being
left wholly with the peoples party.

OF the coast. When the Miranda was
making port her captain was warned by
the American consul that the town was
not only full Of yellow fever but that an
instruction was in progress against
President Leida. The steamship an
chored in a bay off the custom house
and from there witnessed a battle. The
force of rebels was u small one, but was
sufficient to take the town. The rebels
set fire to the public buildings, including
the custom house, which were, however,
saved from destruction by the leaders of
the revolt. After the insurrectionists
had been in possession Of the town for
some time the government forces rallied
and drove them out. At about this
time the captain of the Miranda thought
it wise to withdraw. When he left port
the fighting was still going on with odds
in favor Of the government forces. The
reason for this sudden outbreak is un-
known. Near where the Miranda was
anchored was the American schooner
Fred p. Meicheca Of New Orleans. A
shell from the slOop carried away a por-
ton Of the schooner's bowsprit, a flying
fragment injuring several Of the crew.
The American flag was run up on the
Meicheca and the rcvolutionists ceased
firing at the vessel.

THE FLOOD or WATERS.
The Missouri and Raw Rivers Rising and
Danage Npprehendeh

KANSAS Cry, June |. The Missouri
and kaw rivers are again rising ut this
place. The rise is due to local rains and
is not the annual June flood which is
anticipated with much apprehension. It
has been raining continuously for two
days and a great quantity Of water has
fallen. Harlem. a little village across
the Missouri, is again flooded, but not
to SO great IA depth as during the May
inundation. The bottoms on this side
are also covered with water, but no dam
age has been done. In Kansas City,
Kan, the Kaw has risen two feet, but
has not overlooked its banks. 1t will
take a rise of three feet more to do that.
Sewers, the imperfect construction of
which allowed the water to back up
through them into the town, have been
provided with flood gates and the dan
ger Of a flood from that source is passed.
The Missouri river at 6 o'clock this even
ing was eighteen feet above low-water
mark and slowly rising. The signal
service predicts Il discontinuance of the
rise by morning.

Of artistic temperament, Russo is high

The Durham Coal Miners Go Back to
Work at 10 Per Cent Reduction.
LONDON, June l.. The long strike Of
the Durham coal miners ended today
and the men will Immediately resume
work at the reduction in their wages
which the strike was inaugurated to pre-
vent. A meeting Of the representatives
Of the Durham miners federation and of
the miners association was held at which
the question Of wages was discussed at
great length. For a time the masters
held out against letting the men return
to work at 10 per cent reduction which
the miners offered to accept and insisted
upon making 49, per cent reduction.
Finally, however, they changed their
attitude and accepted the proposition
made by the men to go back to work at
10 per cent reduction. The strike began
on March II when nearly all the miners
in England quit work for the purpose of
causing such an advance in the price of
coal an would prevent mine owners from
having an excuse to reduce wages.
