BAD MAN NAGEL.

Guilty Not Ended Yet.

San Francisco, Aug. 5.-David Ma
gel, ex-United States deputy marshal,
who killed David Terry, seven years
ago, while acting as body guard to
Justice Field. of the United States
Supreme court, became involved in a
serious alteration last evening with
James II. Barry, editor of the Star,
a weekly paper of a strong anti-cor-
poration policy. In the latest issue of
the Star was published biography
of Nagel in which the latter's record
and character was severely criticized.
The two men met on Montgomery
street. Pointing to the article in the
Star Nagel demanded: Did you put
that in?"
Il not only put it in, but I wrote it,"
replied Barry.
Then take this" said Nagel, spit
ting four times in ,Barry's face. With
his hand in his own hip pocket Nagel
then said:
Now fill your hand"
Barry said: II have been warned
you would try to kill me. You are
armed and 1 am not"
Bystanders interfered and separat,
ed the men before any blows could be
exchanged. .. ....
In an interview subsequently Barry
said he had been warned that Nagel
would endeavor to provoke a quarrel
and upon the slightest provocation
shoot him, having witnesses near by
who would swear that the shooting
was justifiable

Queen at Osborne. He was received
at Portsmouth by a number Of dis

leaving Portsmouth the yacht made

traveller a view of the large fleet of

and also permitted him to see about
as large and attractive fleet of pleas

POPULIST CONVENTION.
MIDDLE-0 -THE-R0AD MEN HAVE
III A MAJORITY.
A Peculiar Prayer Registered Followed
By Aliens VillifCatiOn of
Mckinley,

Galveston, Aug. 5.-(Special.) Just
before the Populist state convention
was called to order this morning
Dornblaser, of Hill county, came into
the hall with a banner bearing the
words: "Middle-of-the-road, st. Louis,
1O3," which was received with cheers.
Chairman Ashby of the executive
committee said that he was glad to
know that the convention approved of
the action of the 1903, and they would
do as they had already done in st.
Louis, if the grounds had to be gone
over again.
There are 600 delegates here, about
3 per cent of whom are colored.
The convention was called to order
at 1915 o'clock with prayer by Rev.
+. V. Evans, of Bowie county, who
district and asked the Lord to take
them all to glory when done fighting
plutocracy. ... ....
Mayor Fly welcomed the conven-
ton on the part of the city and con-
gressional nominee Noah Allen well
coined them on the part of the local
Populists. Allen made a red-hot Wat
son speech, saying the Pops took Bry-
an because he was one of them, but
repudiated the bourbonism of the
ticket, and the convention went wild,
indicating a majority strictly in the
Middle-of-the-Road When he said,
IF we have discord IN our ranks on
account of Mr.. Bryan how can we as
much as smell Mckinley" the con-
vention went wild and hallooed 'Bry-
an, Bryan" There was mild pro,
test and the chairman arose and call
ed Allen down, saying such questions
were not to be discussed at that time.
1t would be done later, he said.
Allen, in concluding his address,
said if Bryan was elected Watson
would be too. IF we are true to each
other we will place crown of honor
upon the brow of Populism and cruel
fly bourbonism upon the cross of in
sincerity" prolonged cheering).
1t is evident from the reception given
Allen that the convention is not in a
temper to accept Bryan unless he
takes Watson and that they are not
in favor of the proposed Republican
gold standard fusion. This PROPOSE
ton, however. will not come before
the convention straight out. An eff
fort will be made to have a commit
tee appointed with plenary powers,
but the fight will come up on that
proposition. .... ....
Chairman Ashby in responding said
the Democrats ought to serve in the
ranks of reform awhile before asking
all the positions of trust. Let them
go their way" said he in referring
to the st. Louis convention. He said
the papers had misrepresented them
but the 103 stood firm in the middle
of the road (Cheering). He referred
to Judge Nugent's last words to him
to stand firm for Populistic principles,
turning neither to me right or left,
but stay in the middle of the road.
Great enthusiasm)
At noon temporary organization was
effected by the adoption of the report
of the executive committee recon-
mending Burney, of Kerr county, an
ardent Middle-of-the-Road man, as
temporary chairman. The convention
then proceeded to the selection of a
committee on credentials.
After selecting the credentials com
mittee the convention adjourned I'M

THE MRINLEY WAVE.

Last week was decidedly a Mckinley
week. A New York dispatch says it is
now conceded that Mckinley will have
eight votes in the New York delegation.
Tom Platt has given up all hope of en-
forcing the unit rule. for Editor
Matthews of the Buffalo Express de-
clares that he will fight him on the
floor of the convention If he attempts
to apply the gag. When the break
comes, it is said, Chauncey Depew will
vote for Mckinley and fully one-half
of the New York delegation will follow
him.
If this is true. McKinleys nomination
would seem TO be practically assured.
The New York World goes so far as to
predict IL as an absolute certainty. 1t
figures out that Mckinley will have at
least 564 votes out of a total of 9O9.
The World says that Mckinley is al
ready the chosen candidate of the West
and South" and that combination has
never been beaten i'm a national con-
vention."
The st. Louis convention. however. is
three months ahead. plenty of time for

sums of money are being expended in
McKinley's behalf. No such extrava-
CANT outlay was ever before made in
