convention met this afternoon DR.. J. T.
Paalson. the temporary chairman. said
political eyeats were eliminating so rap
Idly that the people were learning that
they must cooperate in order 10 success
fully conduct the affairs OF this country"
The roll call developed two contessing
delegations from the Twelfth district.
After a sharp and bitter wrangle both
delegations were permitted 10 participate
in the temporary organization and tha
contests sent 10 the committee on Gre
dentiais for settlement. The committees
retired at .. IN.
While the committee was out several
brief speeches were made. Finally a tele-
gram announcing that Senator Butler.
chairman OF the national Populist COM
mittee. would pass through Sedaisa at
s o'clock was read. and the convention
voted TO meet him in a body. and took
recess until o'clock. Senator Butter de-
ciined to stop over, owing 10 pressing en-
gagements In Texas. When the conven-
ton reassembled tonigh; permanent or
ganization was effected. $. a. Wright. OF
Springfield. Was elected chairman, NJ v.
Carroll secretary. 5. A. Pike sergeant-at-
arms.
The committee on resolutions then came
In with a long address and declaration OF
principles, which were read 10 the con-
vention but not acted upon. An adjourn
ment was taken until o'clock tomarrow
morning before a vote could be had.
The address presented by the commit
tee or resolutions deals with the fusion
question. and demands that the Populist
electoral vote In Missouri shall be cast
for Bryan and Watson. This question
VIII probably bring on lively fight in
the convention tomorrow. The platform
as presented tonight declares for a United
States note or greenback based on the
credit of the nation. a fun legal tender
for all debts and redeemable only In debts
and revenues due the government, 10 be
issued to an amount Which VIII increase
the per capita circulation TO $50"
A radical feature OF the platform favors
the calling OF national convention to re-
wise the Federal constitution. In addi-
tion. the platform demands a legislative
system OF initiative and referendum:
the enactment of a law providing
that all evidences of debt shall
be presented to the assessor and
assessed and have his stamp on them, to
be collectIble by law. that no aliens shall
own lands in the state. and that no rail-
road or other corporation shall hold any
land not necessary to the exercise OF Its
duties as a common carrier.

This is the second fire in the neighbor

directed by this last case toward an indi-

and his future actions Will be closely

arrived to-day and has promised to deliver
| two lectures on Soudan and the Soudanese.
One of these will be at the Y. M. c.. A.
Hall Sunday afternoon and the other at
the First Christian Church on Sunday
evening.
DR.. Lewis has just completed two years
of travel in the Soudan and adjacent
countries and has compiled mass of in
teresting data relating to that country.
He has studied the people, their country
and their manners, and is well posted on
the Egyptian question, which is now
puzzling the powers of Europe.
II have paid particular attention to the
differences of opinion that exist regarding
the Soudanese," said DR.. Lewis, land /
have come to the conclusion that they
cannot be controlled by any foreign power
any more than a leopard can change its
spots,
1.-THE diplomats of Emo do not under
stand the Soudanese nature, and until
they do, the reports OF guerrilla warfare
and events such as the death of General
Gordon must be expected. They are
vanced in what we call civilization than
they were Thousand years ago. They are
not cruel race, as some of the reports
published make it appear. When an out
rage is committed 1t is made to appear as
bad as possible, and as most of the dis
siminators OF news from that country are
English, nothing is said of the circum-
stances which wrought the outrage.
.Soudan is not country rich in natural
resources. There is not much to develop
and the Soudanese are as nomadic as they
ever were. 1t is an impossibility to adapt
them to western methods OF life and gov
eminent and the sooner this is realized
the sooner the periodical loss of life
through intermittent warfare will cease.
That country has cost Great Britain a
mine of money, and as a matter of fact
she is not any nearer to reducing it to sub
lection than when General Gordon's life
was sacrificed nearly twenty years ago.
When lecturing DR.. Lewis wears a Sou
denese gaIb that was presented to him by
noted sheikh, who was highly interested
in the traveller. 1t consists of large flow
ing robe, turban and an enormous hat,
but it cannot be said that it is picturesque
to a western eye. 1t is just little less
attractive than boomers.
He has made America his home for
many years and is forceful platform
speaker.

feature will be great attraction.
Assistant Superintendent Evans has re-
ceived an additional list of proposed ex-
hibitors, and he has reported to the
executive committee that all through the
county the greatest interest prevails in the
exposition.
Notification has been sent out to the
manufacturers and producers that the

fair applications for such pamphlets were
received from several parts of the county,
and could not be supplied.
The Associated Charities has asked to
be permitted to give an entertainment on

ceive the net proceeds. The association
has also asked for donation for space to

Next Thursday the committee will re-
ceive and open bids for concessions. The

that the Musicians Union has fixed q
price OF $25 per man per week for each

EXPLOSION AT SAN JOSE.
One Man Killed and Two In
jured by the Blowing Up of
a Boiler.
The Victims Frightfully Mangled by
Flying Metal and Scalded by
Steam.

SAN JOSE, CAL, July 10.-An engine
used for pumping water from Coyote
Creek, at the foot of Empire street, ex-
ploded this morning, killing Antonio Cam
ocia and seriously injuring James Parish.
Giovanni Barbegel alta was scalded about
the face and hands.
The engine was being used by G. Mala-
test to irrigate his vegetable garden near
by. 1t was an old affair. and had been used
for so me years by paving company. The
engin was moved into the creek yester-
d ay, and was III charge of Parish. At the
time OF the explosion there was about 100
pounds of steam on. The inspector was
running cold water into the boiler, and
the explosion may have resulted from a
lack of water in the boiler.
Camocia was standing near the engine,
and Parish and Barbegeiata were some
fifteen feet distant. Camocia was hurled
distance of sixty feet. The right side of
his head was crushed in and his body was
frightfully scalded. His right arm was
broken and lay twisted under his back,
and his face was cut. A part of the left
foot was blown away and the clothing was
drenched in blood.
Parish has bad wound two and half
inches long on the left side of the head
and forehead. His legs ana arms are also
scalded.
