SOME SENSATION CAUSED
BY Advocates of Resistance to the

WASHINGTON Aug. 4-Word reach
ing here from British Guiana indicates
that the high court of policy, or legisla-
ture of the colony, is further inclined to
resist the London authorities on mat
ters connected with the Venezuelan
boundary trouble. Coleman Minister
Chamberlain policy has been to
strengthen the colonial military forces
and buy Maxim guns. He found diff
Guilty in securing the guns and now the
high court has passed a resolution re-
spectfully urging the government to re-
duce military expenses Mr.. Hunter,
who introduced the resolution, said in
supporting it, that the Venezuelan
boundary trouble had resulted in swell
ing the cost of police from $175000 to
5000 900. They were, he said, simply
sent up to the Venezuelan boundary tos
be made dummies" of. He understood
a number were sent there fully armed
to protect the boundary, and if the en-
envy approached they were to say boo"
and retire. Mr.. Hunters further STRIFE
lures on the military and police caused
something of a sensation.
He was supported by a number of
members, and the resolution calling for
retrenchment passed. Sir Augustus
Hemming, the governor general, then
brought forward a novel plan for
strengthening the military branch by
enlistinG Indians as colonial troops. 1t
was explained that the system would be
somewhat similar to that conducted by
Great Britain in East India where the
native troops are one of the most effec-
tive branches of her majestys military
forces. The encouragement, in sup
porting the proposition, said it was pro-
posed to give them regular commissions
and titles as captains, etc, as the In
dian thought a great deal of himself if
he bore title and staff of office. The
commission would permit the Indian Of
ficer to exact homage and respect from
the natives. The Indian captains, con-
stables, etc. would be used, the govern
or-general said, both to keep the gov
eminent informed as to events in the in
terror and also to suppress any disturb
ances along the Venezuelan border.
The plan was discussed at length, but
it has not yet passed.

About forty delegates We're in attendance
and the meeting was harmonious The
question of advisability of putting a
Democratic gold ticket in the field was
discusses at some length and the main
question being whether it would be bet
ter not to vote for Mckinley than put
a gold ticket in the field, which was con-
sidered equivalent to helping the Re
publican ticket in a left handed manner
The majority was in favor of another
ticket because the Republicans stand on

STATE FUSION
There Are Difficulties. but They VIII Be
Overcome


Overcome
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 4.-The state
executive committee of the Peoples
party was in session today until late
hour wrangling over the question of flu .
sion. The party representatives at St
means, and they will have a hard time
satisfying their constituency in this
state. One of those admitted to the
councils of the committee said after
leaving the committee rooms:
"The truth of the matter is that when
those fellows got back to St. Louis they
stampeded and ran themselves into the
very dangers that alarmed Them
Members of the committee, however,
take a widely different view of the mat
ter. Some of them, especially those
from the rural districts, are glum and
downcast. They say they see no other
but that fusion means the swallowing
up of the Peoples party by the Democ-
racy.
Thomas V. Gator was present at the
morning session and made powerful
plea in favor of fusion. Among other
things he said that the Populists must
not lose sight of the fact that at the last
election they cast only small propov-
ton of the vote while the Democrats
cast large percentage.

speech will astonish the country
