Will 1t Be Alabama Fusion

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Jan. 90
Chairman Mosely has called a meet
ing Of the state republican COM
mittee for Thursday in this city.
The populist state committee
meets here the same day. The
two meetings coming together
gives strong color to the general
belief that the republicans and
populists will unite this year, in
opposition to the democracy, state
and national. The two committees
will have separate meetings, but
they will be in close communica-
ton, and the question of fusion,
which is agitating both parties,
will be finally decided.

FlNING HIS SONS.
Delegate CatrOn Puts One at An

nap01ts and One at West Point.
Delegate Thomas b. Catron of New Mex
leo is breaking the record in the appoint
ment CT memters Of his own family TO
cade;ships at Annapolis and West Point.
He Is the first member of Congress known
TO the officials Of the War and Navy de-
partments who has sought to place q son
in each OF these military schools. One son
has just been admitted to the Naval Acad-
emy, with high standing among those VINO
competed for these honors. Another son is
entered to take his examination for ad-
mission 10 the Military Academy mex.
March.
Delegate Catron took extra precautions
against failing in his effort to have his
SInS secure these places. Each son was
named an alternate for the other in the
schools for which they Were respectively
entered for examination. If the first SON
had failed on his examination at Annapolis
the second son was to have been given a
chance to ter that school, and the same
method was to be used a = West Point. AS
the case now stands, if the second son
should fail to enter West Point he would
have no further chance to enter either Of
these branches Of the public service, unless
the boy entered as a cadet at Annapolis
should fail at his semi-annual examination
in January, in which case his brother could
be an applicant for entrance at Annapolis,
while he could be given chance to enter
West Point.
These methods of a member Of Congress
for placing his sons in the two government
academies ave regarded as unique. Ambi-
tious Cong, essmen are generally very care
full about dispensing the appointments to
these academies. as unusual favoritism to
their own families has frequently cost
them their reelection, but Delegate Catron.
