The f" LiIanta Constitution Tries In
Vain 10 Pind Out.
roruLrsr DEMOCRATIC FUSION.
The Newspapers Effort Is 20 Learn
what the Peoples Party Nominees
idea IL as to Apportiontmcnt Of
Electors.

ATLANTA, GA, July D.-The Atlanta
Constitution. desiring to learn just what
Hon. Thomas Il. Watson. the Peoples
Party vIce-presldsntial nominee, thinks OF
the present peculiar political situation
telegraphed him to-day as follows;
'In your letter sent out last night from
Augusta, you say that II the Democrats
are ready for a fair division OF electors,
so are you: and, IL not, then two sets oil
electors will be put in the field. Please
wire the Constitution, upon receipt OF
this, your idea Of a fair division. On
the basis Of what vote do you THINK the
apportionment Of electors in the several
States should be made? Kindly define
your position on this point, in order that
we may give 1t publicity"
To this Mr.. Watson replied as foiows'
"Replying to yours, I state that what
I have heretofore said was based upon
the idea that your party would snow
some patriotism and retire Mr.. se"aii'
II he remains on the ticket, and your
marty declines the st. Louis overtures
there can be no division on electors.
There can only be a straight fight. me
Democratic managers must not ueTldnu
that the Populists do all the yielding
You must do some OF 1t yourselves
sewall can come off the ticket without
hurting his party. My withdrawal would
kill mine. Our people cannot be led 10
the support of Bryan and Sewall. Unless
Sewan retires, the masses OF our party
WILL in my judgment, demand straight
Populist ticket.
(sicned) THOMAS f.. WATSON"
Upon receipt of this. the Constitution
telegraphed Mr.. Watson as follows:
"Your telegram does not answer our
question In your statement sent out
last night you say that unless Sewall
retires you know OF but two plans
first. two distinct electoral tickets, and
second. electoral tickets composed parity
OF Democratic and partly OF Populists.
on the basis that neither you nor MT
sewall will or can retire. how can fusion
on electoral tickets be accomplished, ana
on the basis Of what vote should appor-
tIonment between Populists and Demt-
Gratis be nader

BRIEF BUT FURIOUS
THE STORM IN PETERSBURG TUES.
DAY NIGHT.
Torrent of Rain and Fierce Wind
A Very Sudden visitatfon-The
Damage to Property-A Citizen
Hurt.

PETERSBURG. VA. July 2.-tSpe-
burst over this city last night, fol-
lowing the hottest day OF summer,
was of very short duration. but. never
theless, very notable one. Five minutes
before Il broke the stars were shining
brightly, and not breath OF air was
blowing. Twenty minutes later the sky
was again clear, and onfy gentle breeze
was felt. But, mean time, food or
rain, which swept through the streets
In miniature torrents. had fallen. and un-
rooted houses and Frustrated and broken
trees told the story of the force Of the
wind. The fall OF rain resembled cloud
burst, and its suddenness was such
that people who were sitting on their
porches watching the approach of the
cloud were in some Instances almost
drenched before they could get into their
houses.
The large three-story brick building
on Bank street adjoining the Exchange,
the old bonded warehouse, in Blandford;
the old storehouse in the yard OF the
Norfolk and Western depot, were
unroofed, and many other buildings OF
less Importance were damaged by the
wind. A great many beautiful shade
trees were ruined or badly disfigured.
Mr.. Greenway Balm, residing in the
rear OF Central Park, attempted to lower
one OF the windows, when the wind
blew the shutters together with such
force as to shatter the glass. The frag-
ments OF glass cut through an artery In
Mr.. Bain's right wrist and severed the ten
dons of two of his fingers. At the resi-
dence of Mr.. r. II. Godsey. on Old street,
a student's-lamp, which had been lighted
in the parlor was blown out Of the
window into an adjoining lot and shat
tered.
The body Of the Italian. ]. Bassara,
who died last evening OF sunstroke, was
taken TO Baltimore this afternoon by a
relative.
Mr. Oscar Hollinsworth and Mr.. r.
T.. Stevens, two well-known young citi-
zens. left this evening for Atlanta, Ga,
where they will in future reside. The
former is to take charge OF the Hotel
Marion. in that city.

SOCIALIST TRIBES CONGRESS.
Another Uproar over Anarchists,
Precipitated by an American.

LONDON, July 29-The international
Socialist Trades Congress resumed its
session to-day. Up TO the present time
the congress has done nothing but exam
inc the credentials OF delegates, and Of
those examined thus FAR only two thirds
have been passed upon as emitting their
holders to take part In the deliberations
of the congress.
Harmony prevailed during the early part
Of to-day's sitting but was broken by
the rentroduction Of the question OF the
admission OF the Anarchist delegates. VINO,
though nominally excluded from taking
part in the proceedings. are actually at
tending the sittings and voting as trades
unionists. The whole affair Is considered
a hopeless muddie.
The French Socialist delegates to-day
expressed a desire TO be separated from
the French Anarchists, and this gave rise
to an exciting debate. which eliminated
in the spokesman OF the American dele
cations crying out. America favors the
Separation of the Socialists from the An
archists" Immediately scores of oppo-
nents of the separation idea rose to their
feet. believing and shrieking In fury:
Chairman Hndman rang his bell and
called for order. amid wild cries: The
chairman then peremptorily adjourned
the sitting. and the delegates separated
amid the greatest uproar.

Gently fitted with a gas engine. She was

A TRIP TO THE sEAsHoRE.
Mrs. CLIPS Excursion One of the Best
of the Season.

of the Season.
One of the most delightful excursions
of the season was run yesterday to Old
Point, Norfolk, Ocean View, and Virginia
Beach, under the excellent management Of
Mrs. ]. r. Gill. superintendent OF the Male
Orphan Asylum. Seven coaches left the
Chesapeake and Ohio depot at $50 A. NJ,
and they were comfortably filled. not
crowded, with many Of the best people
of the city. the party being one or the
most select that has left this summer
for a days trip to the seashors.
There was not an occurrence or any
kind to mar the pleasure OF the excur-
sionists; the most perfect order prevail
ing. Many OF this party stopped over at
Old Point, while others took the steamer
to Norfolk, and from there proceeded by
rail 20 Ocean View and Virginia Beach
The bathing at both OF these resorts, es-
pecially the latter, was especially hne
Every one of the big party seemed TO
enjoy the day to the utmost.
Among those who went down were many
lady "rooters," and they were prepared
to root" for the Richmond team. They
went to the grounds at Norfolk and
witnessed their team gain a victory over
the Clam-Eaters.
The success OF the excursion was large
" due to the efforts OF Mrs. Gil, and
probably another one will be run very
shortly, under the auspices of the Male
Orphan Asylum.

action was right and proper, and is like
