impetuous instinct of the amateur cy-
clist, as soon as he saw him he was con-
strained to run the boy down. He was
so taken up with uttering piercing
screams of warning that he forgot to
apply the brake; and the bicycle by
this time was giving small jumps
foot or two high, and was increasing the
height at every jump.
The boy was surprised, to put it mild

NOGALES, Ariz., Aug. 19.-The In
dian, Joseph Salcedo, who was brought
in last night, is on the list of the orig
inal nineteen rebels, and has been
identified as one of those engaged in
the fight on the morning of the 18th
inst. All the prisoners were given a
hearing yesterday before United States
Court Commissioner Taylor, and
pleaded not guilty. There is much
speculation as to whether they can be
turned over to the Mexican govern
ment. Once across the line, short work
would be made of all of them.
1t is reported here that the Mexican
government has already made a re-
QUESTION on the United States for
Lauro Aguirre and Teresa De Cabora
and her father, who is with her at Ell
Paso. The Indian prisoners say her
father is more to blame than she, as
the girl does about as he wants her
to. Aguirre is the worst, they say, as
he has complete control over Santa
Teresa's father. Aguirre is a highly
educated man in his language, but is
said to be dissipated. 1t is estimated
by the Mexican officials here that he
and Santa Teresa. by their influence
have caused the death of more than a
thousand people in the last six or seven
years. None of the Yaquis who quit
work on the railway and who were
around town the day before the attack
on Nogales, returned to work or ap-
piled for their pay.

Evidences of an Agreement Be-

Especial 10 The Herald.l

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 10
1t looks as if Senator Butler, chair
man OF the Populist national com
mittee, had come to some sort of
an understanding with the Demo-
cratic managers.
The Populist headquarters are to
be opened in the Wormley building,
where Senator Faulkner's commit
tee is and where the sub-commit-
tee of the Democratic committee
will have headquarters.
The Silver party national commit
tee will have headquarters in the
same building.
This indicates close fusion and
joint work by these various COM
mittees.
A comprehensive programme ap-
pears to have been mapped out by
Chairman Jones before his depart
ure this morning for Chicago.
All committees are to work in
conjunction.
Senator Faulkner, chairman of
congressional committee, is to have
charge of the distribution OF docu-
ments for both his own committee
and for the national committee.
1t is probable that Democratic,
Populist and Silver forces engaged
in distribution of documents will
all work together.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Aug. 19.-It is
well understood among the small army
of Chinamensin British Columbia that
Lii Hung Chang, viceroy of Pechili,
fears to return to the orient by way of
San Francisco, owing to the hostility of
his countrymen in the state of Califor-
MIA. In British Columbia there may not
be the same organized hostility to the
viceroy, but the i'll feeling towards Ii
is, nevertheless, universal among the
orientals here. One prominent agitatoT
makes a bold suggestion through the
local press, that the great statesman
be seized and taken to the leper settle
ment OH the lonely Darcy island, B. c.,
as a life prisoner.
1t is settled fact that Ii Hung
Chang will return to the orient by the
Canadian Pacific railroad, and steamer
via Vancouver; but to avoid any pos
sibility of a hostile demonstration he
will be quietly conducted to the steamer
in waiting with other passengers. No
civic reception will take place. Promi-
nent Cinnamon here give as Their reas-
on for this hostility that Ii has spent
his life making money out of his coun-
try and people, until he is the richest

FORT WORTH, Texas, Aug. 19.-The
state Democratic convention recon-
vened at o'clock this morning. Hon.
c. L. Potter of Cook county was elect
ed permanent chairman without oppo-
Sition, The convention voted almost
unanimously to abolish the tWo-thirds
rule under which the party has always
worked. A committee representing taa
Texas Populist party called on Chair
man Dudley of the Democratic execu-
tive committee and requested that he
appoint a similar committee of his
party to confer on proposition to fuse
on Inc electoral ticket, composed of
seven Populists and thirty eight DEM
ocrats. Dudley refused to appoint such
a committee. The Populsts now
threaten to fuse with the Republicans,
giving their vote to the Republican
electors in return for Republican votes
for the POP ulist state ticket.
At the afternoon session the following
ticket was named:
Fer Goyernor-C. A. Culberson.
For nant-Governor-G. 7. Ges-
ter.
For Attorney-General-M. H. Crane.
For Comptroller-B. W. Finley
For Treasurer-W. b Workman.
For Land Commissioner-A j. Baker
For superintendent OF Public In
struc1ion-J. NJ. Carlisle.

of the Chicago convention. There is

broken spars He was not thrown
into the water, as was reported yester-

the Least,
PUEBLO, Col, Aug 19.-The Demo-
cratic state convention organized to-
day at o'clock with NJ. B. Gerry of
Laplata county in the chair.
No contests appearing, the temporary
organization was made permanent
Washouts west delayed the arrival of
many delegates, and the progress of
the convention was slow.
Owing to a concert in the evening,
under the auspices of the Trades as
sembly of Pueblo, for the purpose of
raising a fund to send speakers into
ments before labor organizations, the
convention took recess until 10 p. m,
at which time the committees ON reSo-
lutions and order of business will re-
port. The delegates have arrived at no
definite plan for making overtureS of
fusion with the silverites of other par
ties, whose conventions meet next
month, and they cannot agree upon a
plan in caucus. They are willing to
agree to endorse Senator Teller and
Congressman Bell and Shafroth for re-
election, but on all other points great
diversity of views are eXtant. Whether
by a committee with delegated power,
or by an adjournment of the conven-
ton to meet again, the fusion ticket is
to be prepared, only a vote in the con-
vention can determine.
The situation of the convention is
made more perplexing by reason of
numerous gubernatorial candidates in
the field, whose respective friends are
working to save them in the fusion
compromise.
The two committees will Jointly re-
port, endorsing Teller, Bell and Shat
roth and suggesting the election of four
presidential electors. Then a commit
tee of seven is to be named with full
power to act jointly with other par
ties in other conventions to effect a
union of silverites upon a fusion state
ticket Before this convention al
journs, however, a full state ticket is
to be named, from which the commit
tee must select candidates given to the
Democrats upon such fusion ticket.
The report of the committee on reso-
buttons was adopted, but before the re-
port of the committee on order of
business, which included the fusion
question. was considered the conven-
ton adjourned upon roll call at

sILvER's Low FIGURE.

NEW YORK. Aug. 19.-Sfiver reached
the lowest figure in several years when
today commercial bars sold at So.
Later they rallied and closed at 659l-
Mexican silver dollars also declined,
reaching 81 cents from SO CENTS Silver
bullion in London slumped 3-16 to 80
3-5d per ounce. The decreased demand
in London for Indian exchange as weE
as the falling off mere of the demand for
China exchange affected the local mar
ket and depressed the market for sid
yer.
Talk of gold imports is believed to
have also tended to depresS silver.
Bullion brokers have made special in
quiry in London in the matter of future
delivery of silver in bars and learned
that in the last three weeks contracts
registered for future delivery of silver
have amounted to only about 60 per
cent of what they were at The CORES
ponding time last year. It is contend
ed that Mexican silver dollars cannot
be purchased at the Mexican mint for
the quoted price here and that the de-
cline in the price of silver is more spec,
ulative than usual
