favor Of compelling the citisens Of the

has sturdily maintained that courts In

tion looking TO the reconstruction Of the

complish the reversal Of its decision.
while we condemned the use Of that

nounced an appointment made by Re

There was great excitement during and

And What They Stand For-Bryan and
Anti-Bryan Conferences.
Few of the delegates TO the Populist con-
vention have arrived, but among the
leaders who have reached the city very
bitter war has already developed They
seem TO be aligning themselves for three
cornered fight; first, those who favor a
straight Endorsement or nomination of
Bryan and Sewall; second, those who de-
sire fusion electoral ticket. and third,
what are known as the middle of the
road" Populists, who favor an inde-
pendent platform and ticket and who
oppose fusion in any form. The latter if
present indications count for anything,
will eventually be overruled. The middle
of the road men, however, will prove
strong and valuable allies Of the leaders of
the second class.
Senator j. X. Jones, Of Arkansas chair
man of the national Democratic commit
tee, arrived last night He said that he
was on his way home from Washington
but admitted that he had stopped in St
Louis for the purpose of making u note on
the draft OF events in connection with the
Populist convention. He declined to ex.
press any opinion as to whether the con-
vention would indorse Bryan and Sewall,
though he confessed that such a course on
the part of the convention would be graft
flying. He expressed himself as very much
pleased with the indications of Democratic
success.
During the evening there was meeting
at the Lindell hotel at which twenty
states were represented and which Jones
attended. II was decided to push the
Bryan movement with vigor, either for a
nomination or an Endorsement. Senator
Jones was asked as TO what the Populists
could expect in the way of recognition in
case Bryan should be indorsed by the
Populist party. Jones replied that In the
event of Bryan's election to the presidency
he would know no party, and would recog-
nize all those who would rally TO his sup
port. Populists were not TO be looked
upon as stepchildren. The recognition of
all silver men would be equal. This an
nouncement was received with applause
by the Bryan Populists present.
Except at the Lindell, where most Of the
Populists and silver men make their head
quarters, the hotels contain few politi-
clans. The two conventions do not meet
until Wednesday, and most of the dele
gates will not arrive until tomorrow. A
number Of prominent leaders came in on
yesterday mornings trains, and more ar
rived last night. With the exception of
Lawrence McParlin, of New York, all the
members of the Populist national execu.
tive committee are now here.

DEAD IN HIS TENT.
William L. Russell of Massachusetts Called
Very suddenly.

Very suddenly.
Boston, July FIX Governor Will
lam E. Russell, Of Massachusetts,, was
found dead this morning in his fishing
camp at ST. Adelaide. near Grand Pabos
Quebec. 1t appears that the people who
accompanied Ex-Governor Russell were
his brother and F. Peabody, from Boston
Their camp was near the Little Pabos
river, where they had been fishing all day
yesterday, when the ex-governor seemed
In the very best of health. The tent in
which they slept was divided into two
compartments, and as the ex-governor
slept alone the others never knew that he
was dead till late this morning when
they thought ii was time to awaken him. +"
This was the news received from Quebec
yesterday in this city and It was heard
with almost absolute incredulity on the
streets. Even members Of the law firm
with which he was associated refused to
look upon the matter seriously when asked
If they were able to veryify the rumor of
the ex-governor death.
1t was not until after the press wires
had been busy for some time that verifica-
tion of the sad news was obtained and
there was no further hope that the story
was unfounded. The most that could be
learned here until late yesterday afternoon
was contained in the following telegram
to Mr.. Joseph B. RUSSELL brother of the
ex-governor, signed by Colonel Harry K.
Russell "Will found dead In bed this
morning Death painless. Probably heart
disease. Start for Boston at once" Mr..
Russell was In Canada by invitation
of Mr.. r. +. Dutton, of Boston, for the
purpose of rest
Mr. Russell's body Is expected TO reach
this city next Sunday. Funeral arrange
ments have not vet been completed.

TAueENEc< TAKES HIS POSITION ON

Declares Against Indorsing the Chicago
and Offers His Services ON the Stump

Populist Leader.
ST. LOUIS, July 20.-The fight that was
only q skirmish last week Is rapidly be-
coming a general engagement in the ranks
of the Populists and silver men gathered
and gathering here for the conventions Of
the Ed. Certain facts have developed since
last report that make the situation more
interesting. In the first place Of import
ance so far as silver Republican action Ia
concerned IL the letter written by Teller
to Bryan In which he declares his adhe-
sion TO the Democratic candidate and
offers his services as a speaker when and
where il sees fit TO the Democratic ma
tional committee, There is nothing half
way about Teller. He burned his bridges
behind him when he went out of the Re-
publican national convention.

neck, chairman of the Populist national
committee, just back from somewhere
said to be Chicago though no one at Chi
cago says he saw him there-has spoken
out and put himself at the head of the
anti Bryan men. The pith Of his declara-
tion is that under no circumstances will
he vote TO indorse Bryan and Sewall, be-
cause, in his opinion, that would mean
death TO the Populist party organization.
He favors nominating a complete ticket,
and then combining on the electors.
Silver Men All for Bryan.
The silver convention men seem bent on
indorsing Bryan, and unless Taubeneck Is
beaten in the Populist convention the two
meetings will fail of one of their objects
fusion TO advocate silver. Senator Stewart
Is here, a delegate to the silver convention,
and says: 1--WE must indorse or nominate
Bryan" PETER says the same thing
Governor Lewelling, of Kansas, is on the
same side and pooh-poohs the idea that
the Populists would lose their party or
ganization by Endorsement. Said he: II
cannot understand Taubeneck's present
view. A week or so ago he thought fu-
sion very desirable" Senator Allen is
claimed as an advocate OF Endorsement
and, in fact, the Bryan wing Of the Popu-
lists claims over 800 of the 1850 delegates
to the Populist convention.
Colorado Man to Taubeneck.
And now comes Thomas NJ. Patterson,
chairman Of the regular Colorado delega-
tion to the Populist convention, who in a
very long statement replies to Taubeneck's s
declaration that he will not vote to indorse
Bryan. Patterson 8 argument Is that the
Endorsement of Bryan is a necessity In the
circumstances, If the silver men want to
win. He claims to be as solicitous as Tau
beneck for the perpetuity OF the Populst
party, but disagrees with him when he
says Endorsement of Bryan would disin-
tegrate the party. On the contrary he
holds that TO nominate an independent
ticket would be not only to lose the fight
for silver and elect Mckinley, but TO prac-
tically annihilate the Populists as "A party

KEY WEST, Fla, July 20-The Span
iards, under General Suarez Inclan, have
sustained crushing defeat at the hands
of the insurgents under Antonio Maceo.
Not only was Inclan's column defeated
with heavy loss, but it is currently re.
ported in Havana that the Spanish gen
eral himself was captured and is now held
as a prisoner by Maceo. The battle is said
to have occurred on July 10 near Maceo's s
stronghold in the province of Pinar del
Rio. For the last two weeks the insur-
gents have been very aggressive, and
small parties have repeatedly attacked the
trocha, causing the Spaniards much an
noyance
General Inclan was ordered To drive
back these detached bands of insurgents,
and for this purpose took with him 1000
men. Maceo seems 10 have expected such
movement and arranged to ambush the
Spaniards. He stationed large force in
favorable position and ordered his de-
tached bands to draw Inclan into the trap.
The Spaniards followed the insurgent
skirmishers incautiously and fell into the
ambush. Then the Cubans opened fire
from all sides, which threw the Spaniards
into confusion. While the Spaniards
were thus disordered the Cubans charged,
completely routing their foes.
HAVANA, July 2O.-Twenty six volun.

urday was sprung at night when formal
announcement was made that Chattanoo-
ga, and not Denver, is TO have the conven-
tion of 1898. This decision was reached by
the board Of managers at q session held
Saturday afternoon. At the same time it
was decided TO give the 1899 convention to
Denver. The action Of the board Of man.
ayers was ratified by the convention.
Though none of the members will ad-
NIT the fact, 1t Is surmised by those Of the
delegates who are in a position to make a
good guess as to motives that the develop
ment Of sectional feeling in the south has
much TO do with the change. The south
ern delegates came up here, they said, with
the hope that the convention might come

and thus wipe out all idea of any separa-
