WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-(Spccial Telo-
gramJ-R Representative Mercer speaking Of
the Transmississippi Exposition today, said:
81 have received almost absolute assurances
that the secretary Of the treasury In his re-
port. will recommend that the appropriation
for the holding Of the Trausmississippi EX-
position be increased from 100000 to $780,
900, and that 100000 Of that amount be set
apart for the construction OF a government
building .,
MIR. Mercer Is anxious that $500 900 be APP
prnpria'cd but he Is somewhat doubtful OF
securing so large an amount under the pres
ent stressful conditions Of the treasury and
the known objection OF Speaker Reed to as
suming any more obligations than those the
government can legtimatcly take care OF.
Nothing has been done with the certhcateS
now before Acting Secretary OF the treasury
Curtis. but II Is understood that pressure
will be brought to bear upon him to certify
their validity within very sholt time
The money OF the South Omaha postofice
site will probably be paid to the parties own
ing the same within the next fortnight some
difficulty has been experienced IN setting
this long-drawn-out controversy on account
of suits which have been commenced against
the property in question, but n letter from
District Attorney Sawyer Is now on file IN
the Treasury department, wherein he states
the selection for the site by the government
had been made prior to the commencement
of certain suits pending in the courts. The
government Immediately inquired into its
legality in acquiring the property and from
District Attorney Sawyers letter 1t is be
licved that the right Of government is prior
to the commencement OF the suits.

POPULGSTs MAKE COUNTER CHARGES.
The pcpullsto, as an Offset to republican
charges OF colonization, allegc that gross
Irregularities were committed by the rcpub-
licans In several counties, notably McIher-
son. In tnat county they say the official
ballots were printed in both English aud
German, TO accommodate the Russians who
compose nearly the entire T. pulgton or the
county. They are ignorant OF our language,
and we're compelled to depend on the clec-
tion judges to mark their ballots for them.
The populists allcgc that I'm one OF the pre-
cinots every vote was returned and united
for the straight republican ticket, while
dozen or more voters are ready to swear
on the witness stand that they instructed
the Judge to mark their tickets for the
STRAIGHT pOpulist ticket. In other precincts
chprEcs Of stu.Hug the ballot boxes are
made ana tt is claimed that such crooked
ness viii be unearthod, 1t is said that one
Il tho arguments used by the republican
workers among the foreign-born residents
Of that county was to tell them that
when thCy took the oath OF allegiance TO
Uncle Sam and took out the'~ first pape.G
they also swore allegiance to the republican
party. curious feature OF this statement
is that a great many Of the Russians are
alleged to have been so foolish as to con-
found the government with a partisan organ
cincts the returns are claimed to show three
timCs as many votes cast as there are men,
women and children residing in the town
ship.
In discussing these counter charges the
republican leaders simply smile and say that
the charges made by the republicans will
be substantiated when the proper time

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.-The agility
and presence of mind of Bob Fitzsimmons
today prevented the postponement of his
fight with Sharkey and probably saved the
life of the lanky pugilist Bob was out on
the road near Sausalto today taking hi;
final run before the fight. He was being
paced by a boy on a bicycle, while Mrs.
Fitzsimmons drove a cart behind. Behind
Mrs. FitZsimmOns was a four-seated trap
drawn by spirited horse. This animal be
came frightened and dashed down the road
which wound around the hillside. The
frightened animal passed Mrs. Fitzsimmons
and was almost on top of the pugilist be
fore he became alarmed by the clatter. Bob
jumped for his life and rolled over and
over down the hill. The wheels of the trap
missed his head by about three inches but
he escaped uninjured. The boy on the bicy-
Gle was not so fortunate. His wheel was
smashed and he was severely bruised. Two
children who were riding in the trap were
thrown out and badly hurt.
Interest in the fight tomorrow night is
increasing and the Mechanics pavilion will
probably be crowded to witness the ten
round contest. Sharkey is still confident
of the decision. although the betting is all
against him. The most favorable betting
for him today is even money that he will
not last six rounds. The wagers on the
entire ten rounds are about to l in favor
OF Fitzsimmons. When Fit2simmons puts
on the gloves tomorrow night he will weigh
close to 175 pounds and Sharkey will scale
about the same figure. No referee has yet
been agreed upon and If none is chosen by
noon tomorrow the National club will Sc
lect q referee without regard to the wishes
of the contestants.

PIERRE, s. D., Dec. 1.-(Special)
numerous and from indications when the
legislature meets at least a majority of
the republicans will find their seats con-
tested. The reason for this comes from the
different senatorial aspirants. The follow
ers of Kyle assert that the Pettgrew ele-
ment started contests in districts which
would, II the contestants succeeded,
strengthen the Pettigrew forces in the leg
islature and give them an advantage over
the Kyle element. This started the Kyle
forces to initiating contests and the two
factions will fight it out on the floor Of
the houses. The factional fight is likely
to kill the chances of the contestants OF
either faction and leave the republicans
in their seats, as the members of neither
faction will be willing to vote to seat men
who would strengthen the opposition, ana
this strength, with the republican members,
will be enough to retain the repub-
leans in their seats. Again, the beginning
Of the contests has carried the matter so
far that it is likely to bring reaction and
many of the contests be dropped and never
be pushed to a finish. If crowded too far
it is not improbable that the republicans
will withdraw and, forming a trump" leg
islature, select a senator of their own
chOsing and send him to Washington to
make a fight before the senate for his seat.

not satisfied with their working majority of

The Cheyenne plant is the sixth put In

In this city and at Evanston, Laramie, North

more pipe laid at Cheyenne than at any of
the other points, owing to the length Of
