DISAGREE ON DETAILS.

Fusion Between Democrats and Popullsts
In Illinois Not Completed.
CHICAGO, Aug. lS.-After spending
the entire day in secret session yester-
day, the executive committee of the
silver democrats and the leaders Of the
populists failed to agree upon the de.
tails Of the fusion plan decided upon at
the state convention, and the matter
was referred to the entire state central
committee. The vexed question was
to decide what democratic electors
should retire from the ticket to make
room for the populists who are to take
their places.

Republicans, Populists and Gold Democrats
May Unite In Some Southern States.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 17.-lt Is
not at all unlikely that a com bination
ticket will be put in the field by the
republicans national democrats and
populists in some OF the southern
states. The executive committee Of
the national democracy is in receipt Of
propositions looking to this end from
Alabama, Texas and Florida, and is in
clined to look upon them with favor.
The leaders Of these three parties in
the south have not yet discussed mat
tiers of detail in the proposed fusion,
but it Is probable that if it is to be car
ried out they will fuse on the state
tickets as nearly as possible in proper
ton to the strength that each one pos
sesses and that electoral tickets will
be made of men pledged to vote against
Bryan and Sewall. In all three Of
the states mentioned the populists
have declined to enter into the
fusion with the democrats arranged at
st. Louis, and are strong enough, in
combination with republicans and
sound money democrats it is alleged,
to swamp the Chicago ticket in each of
these states This looks more
rational when 1t is considered that
under these circumstances the colored
republican vote Of these states will be
protected and counted. That element
alone is almost sufficient to carry them.
The executive committee will consider
these propositions at its meeting in
Chicago on Monday. The republicans
in the states named have not submitted
the question to their national commit.

FEARS A SPLIT ~ THE DEMOCRACY
Mayor Steele OF Helene Talks on Silver
10 Chicago Reporter.

Chicago, Feb. Mayor William L.
Steele and Miss Steele, who recently
christened the gunboat Helena at New
port News, are at the Auditorium on
their way home to Helena, Mont. In
an interview the mayor said he was a
staunch democrat, also a free silver
man.
II fear" said he, that the democratic
national convention will probably split
on the silver question. A straight free
coinage plank with a candidate we
know to be an honest friend of silver is
what we want. If the convention will
not give us that then the democrats of
the west will probably go to a free sill
Yer party. Montana republicans have
no idea the st. Louis convention is going
to do anything for silver. Montana's
delegate to Chicago probably will cast
their votes for Morrison, although they
will be friendly to Morgan of Alabama
or Daniel of Virginia. With a free sill
yer plank, any of these men can carry
every mining state of the west"

tally wrecked. Meehln heard the
cracking of the building in time to
make his escape and he directed the
rescuers to the place where the others
had been at work when the crash
came.

his groans aiding the men in finding
him. He was badly cut and bruised ard
unable to move. He became unconscious

surgeon thought he could not posi-.
BILE recover.
Quigley had been buried under many
feet of bricks plaster and heavy tim

been killed instantly.
