ST LOUIS, Mo, July 27.-The Popu-
list national convention was tardy in
assembling this morning and the
weary, wornout patriots who had
struggled and wrangled since last
Wednesday had very tired look, but
that there was plenty of fight left in
them was developed beyond a perad-
venture when two or more Peoples
party delegates got together, for there
was sure to be an argument, and
sometimes wrangle, and often noisy
contentious. All these were noticea-
able on every side as the delegates
came together to finish the work of
the convention.
Some of w. Bryan's enthusiastic
admirers declared before the conven-
ton was called TO order that they
would nominate him regardless of his
wishes 1om Patterson of Colorado
and Ex-Governor Lewelling of Kansas,
however, said that this would not do.
They counseled an Endorsement of
Bryan instead of nomination, point
ing out that an Endorsement -"hich
did not require an acceptance ; the
way out of the tangle.
Senator Jones, chairman of the
Democratic national committee, was
much sought by Bryan leaders who
were anxious to know il he had re-
ceived any information from Mr..
Bryan indicating that he would recon-
slider the decision made yesterday that
he could not accept the nomination
for President unless Sewall was also
named. Mr.. Jones did not expect any
reconsideration and so informed all
Bryan men who called uron him.
Cyclone Davis and other radicals
insisted that Bryan could not refuse
and, IL he did, the responsibility of
disaster at the polls would rest on the
Democracy, not the Populists.
Called to Order
When Senator Allen called the CON :
veDtion to order ut 9:35 o'clock the
hall had not been pat In order, and
one delegate, who had probably re-
manned in the hall all night, was
slumbering peacefully, stretched out
on the floor in a remote portion of the
hall.
After the invocation a Connecticut
delegate arose to protest against
further display of lung power that
had characterized the first three DAYS
of the convention. He thought it
about time the convention exercised
little 'horse sense" His statement
was given round OF applause.
Chairman Allen announced that the
first thing in order was the selection
of members of the national committee

In Rochester the other evening,
says the Rochester Union, & woman
got on u street car, carrying an APP
pie and her purse in her hand. She
sat down next to "a young man, and,
as she supposed, put her purse and
the apple in the side pocket of her
sack. The young man got out at
Union street and the car went on.
A passenger happening to look out
of the rear window saw him rushing
after the car, wildly calling for it to
stop. Finally the bell was rung, and
the young man caught up and got
on. Going to the woman who had
sat beside him, he said: Madam,
here are your apple and purse. You
put them in my pocket by mistake "
Everybody in the car laughed but
the woman. She looked angry and
did not even thank the young man
who had gone to so much trouble to
return her property. If he had not
returned the articles, she would have
been certain that he had picked her
pocket.

BRIEFLY RELATED.
The British Attack the Matabeles Camp
near Buluwayo, hut are Forced to
Retreat After IL Rather Hot Battle
Disgraceful Fight ut the u. y. Capitol.
Bloody Battle at Buluwayo.

Dispatches from Cape Town, say that
communication with Buluwayo has
been reopened at intervals and news
received of u battle with the Matabeles.
The report says that shortly after mid
night the British force was quietly
called to arms and 800 men under Capts.
Napier and Duncan, with one Maxim
rapid-tirc gun and IIotchkiss quick
firing gun, marched silently upon the
entrenched camp of the Matabeles,
only four miles from Buluwayo. They
unexpectedly found pickets had been
thrown out, and these gave the alarm.
The troops charged, but were met with
a warm fire from the earthworlls and
driven back. A constant firing was
kept up by both sides until daybreak,
when, under cover of the rapid
fire guns, the British charged and
a handto-hand encounter of rare spirit
and courage occurred between the
mere handful of we'll armed whites
and the small army of poorly
armed Matabeles. Gradually the Ma
tabeles pressed onward by sheer force
of numbers and almost surrounded the
British who, to avoid being encircled,
retreated fighting foot by foot, but
being driven steadily backward. One
squad, for a time, was quite cut off,
and only extricated itself by brilliant
charge through the Matabele Gordon.
Eventually the British were very hard
pressed and gave ground fast; then,
rallied by Napier and Duncan, they
again assumed the offensive and drove
back the swarms of natives under a
well-directed fire, when, suddenly, the
retreat was ordered and the British re-
treated towards Buluwayo, which
place they reached considerably the
worse for wear and tear. Much hero
ism was displayed by individual British
troopers and volunteers in rescuing
their wounded comrades. The loss of
the enemy is said to have been very
great No correct estimate could be
made, but the reports place the num-
Der of Matabeles killed at anywhere
between 400 and 600. The loss of the
British is not stated, but it is believed
to be more severe than the commanders
at Buluwayo are willing to admit.

Serious Crisis in France.

France is confronted with another
cabinet crisis owing to the resignation
of the Bourgeois ministry. The action
of censure by the senate is responsible.
President Faure promptly accepted the
resignation. The socialists were much
displeased at the action taken and made
noisy demonstrations crying Down
with the senate" as they marched
through the streets of Paris, and there
were numerous combats with the police.
particularly at Tivoli Vauxhall where
huge socialist meeting was held and
demands made, in fiery speeches, for
another revolution.
NJ Sarrien, who has been minister
for the interior in the Bourgeois cabi-
net, was called by President Faure to
the task of forming new ministry.
But after considerable effort he had to
abandon the field, as he was unable to
form a cabinet of Cancellation.

Gigantic Engineering Feat.

The most stupendous feat of mining
engineering undertaken in the Lake
Superior iron ore region in many years
is the redemption of the Mansfield mine
in the Crystal Falls district by chang
ing the course of the Michigamme river.
The Mansfield is the only producer of
Bcssemer ore in the district. The de-
post extends under the bed of the river.
and three years ago its workings were
inundated by the stream breaking into
the underlying levels. At that time
the lives OF 80 men were lost The
course of the river will be diverted by
the construction of new channel, 1900
feet in length. The water will be
turned into the new channel by a
mammoth dam, located 900 feet above
the shaft and prevented from return
ing to the mine by a similar dam 900
feet below.

Venezuelan Dispute Looks Dangerous.

The London Times has dispatches
from it's Washington correspondent,
saying that 1.-The Venezuelan dispute is
in dangerous state and that no agree
ment as to principles has been reached.
Negotiations between the United States
and Great Britain are at standstill
and nobody knows when or how the
deadlock will be removed. Instead of
continuing the negotiations Lord Sails
bury has submitted an unacceptable
draft of a general arbitration treaty
from which it is understood the Vene-
zuelan dispute is to be excluded. This
<ic,ay is most perilous. President Cleve-
land still shows strong desire for an
honorable and reasonable agreement,
but it takes two to make treaty"
Other London papers commenting on
the dispatch seem greatly disturbed
and indicate that Great Britain cannot
concede a point to the United States.
On the other hand the Westminster
Gazette urges Salisbury to settle the
Venezuelan question out hand at even
the cost of lowering his pride.

was the scene of double tragedy as u
result of attempting to stop the course

put the revolver to his own head and
killed himself. Young Luce had been
keeping company with Camburn' S
daughter Eva for the past year or so.
but her parents objected. The girl
therefore avoided him which only
served TO make him more determined.
Eva and Ethel Hampton were in the
Camburn home alone when young Luce
called and they refused to let him in.
He raised so much noise that neighbors
sent for Camburn. When he arrived
nc began to speak to Luce, but the
youth pulled a revolver and shot him
three times and then sent "a bullet into
his own temple, dying an hour later.
Camburn cannot live. Luce was a
young man of good habits and respected
