KANSAS DEMOCRATS
Fusion Will Follow the Convocation to Be
Held Today

HUTCHINSON, Kan, Aug. 3.-Demo-
cratic leaders have already begun gath
ering for the state convention, which
will be opened tomorrow. There has
been absolutely no talk regarding the
personnel of the state ticket. Interest
is completely absorbed in the probabl
action of the joint committee, which will
be appointed by the Democratic and
Populist conventions to arrange for fu-
sion. All of the Democratic leaders be-
lieve that fusion on some basis will re-
suit, but as to just what that basis will.
be, no one Is willing to hazard a guess
today. The strong claims of victory by
the Harris faction in the Populist county
conventions Saturday strengthen the
probability of fusion, as Col. Harris has
expressed a willingness to concede to
the Democrats the Bryan and Sewall
electoral ticket on a fusion basis. 1t was
strongly asserted by several of the most
influential party managers that under
no circumstances would any fusion ar
rangement be agreed to unless the Popu-
list Endorsement of the Chicago plat
form, with Bryan and Sewall, should be
made first.

Tie Irish Question

LONDON, Aug. 2.-The Chronicle this
morning gives a summary of the report
OF the commission appointed last year
through the instrumentality of the Rt.
Hon. d. +. Plunkett, Conservative
member of parliament for Dublin Uni
versity. to consider any practical means
of benefiting Ireland. The McCarthyites
refused to join his commission, which
was formed of Unionists and Parnell-
ties, including DR.. Kane, John Red
mond, Joseph kenny, NJ P. for Dublin,
and Mr.. Gill.
The report favors the creation of a
department headed by a minister and
responsible to parliament for the devel-
opment and furtherance of Irish indus
tries. agricultural and otherwise, with
a consultative council of the members
representative of Ireland's various COM
mercial and industrial interests
The scheme would involve state aid.
and the Chronicle learns that the gov
ernment is seriously inclined to take
some action in the direction suggested.
The department would give bounties
to promote agricultural experiments,
and encourage cooperation in dairy and
other industries.

Il HUNG Changes MISSION
England Reproached for Her
Waning Friendship
MORE REVENUE IS NEEDED
And Import Duties Seems to Be the
Only Source
The Question Of Foreign Relations Asitates
the English Politician, In View Of
Possible War
Associated Press Special Wire,

Associated Press Special Wire.
LONDON, Aug 3-The Times this
morning has an article regarding Ii
Hung Changs views and the object Of
his mission to England. The Chinese
statesman considers, the article says,
that England could, if she had chosen,
have prevented China's disastrous war
with Japan. He therefore reproaches
England with waning friendship and
contends that China was taken by sur
prise when entirely unprepared for war.
He now desires as an evidence of SYM
pathy that England should concede to
China the right to make a substantial
addition to the duties charged under the
treaty upon goods entering Chinese
ports.
The fall of silver, Ii Hung Chang con-
tends, has rendered the revenue deriv-
ed from these duties only half of it's
original value. Japan has already Sc
cured similar relaxation of the old re-
strictions.
LII Hung Chang hints, according to the
Times article. that this increase in
China's revenues will be devoted to the
purchase of warlike stores in Europe.
N''SA 10 uSi say > tile lines,
He assures us says the Times. that he
including provoison for fleet and an
army which within five years will place
China in a position that would render
impossible any such defeat as she re-
Gently endured"
Inc Times says in an editorial on the
foregoing: When definite PROPOSALS
are made England will be ready to dis
cuss tbs on business footing. I'm
less the increase in duties is accom-
panied by greater facilities for trade in
other directions, it can only operate to
restrict the volume of business. If on
his return to China, Ii Hung Chang will
make a beginning by insisting upon an
elnclent protection to Europeans in the
interior and the abatement of vexatious
internal imposts and will guarantee
equality in treatment between the sea-
board and the land frontier trade and
by satisfying us that the concessions
will not be used to carry out secret
Undertakings with our rivals he NAV be
assured that England will not fail to re-
'spond in a practical manner"
Inc Times says further that Ii Hung
Chang asserted that Russia, France and
ne believed Germany would also assent
TO the raising of Chinese duties to an
average of 10 per cent.
Lii Hung Chang holds strongly to the
OPINION that China's new navy should
be built in England, on English lines,
and manned by English officers
The attempt to raise funds in Amer
lea for railways in China has failed, and
the projected Chinese-American bank
has collapsed.

form of co-opposition should be adopted.
by the way" said Mr.. Cochran, "in
the comments on my interview published
this morning l noticed singular appre-
hension on the part of some of the news
papers. 1t Is assumed that the plan
suggested by me contemplated merely
the assembling of a convention which
would adopt genuinely Democratic
platform, nominate Mckinley elecaors,
and stop there, when I said the Demo-
Gratis meeting in such a convention as
I suggested, while nominating Mckinley
electors, would provide for really DEM
ocratic opposition to the Mckinley ad-
ministration during the period of its ex-
istence. I thought it would be clear
that I meant substantial and effect
i've opposition. Such an opposition
could find an expression nowhere but in
congress, and it could therefore be main-
tanned only by bringing these Demo-
Gratis who in the time of treason and
cowardice remain unyielding and un-
terrified, into a new organization which
would nominate candidates for state Of
fees, for congress, and for the state leg
islature in every state where the ex-
isting organization had denounced the
ancient creed Of the party by endorsing
the Populistic platform and candidate.
Every Democrat who refuses to support
the Chicago platform regards the de-
feat of the absurd propositions for which
Mr.. Bryan stands as the paramount
issue of the campaign, and since the
simplest and NOSE effective method of
accomplishing that result is to nomin
ate Mckinley electors, l believe in fol-
lowing that course. In contest Of this
character I believe the people would
prefer a direct to an indirect method of
expressing their adherence of commu-
nism, Populism and anarchism. With
Mr.. Bryan and his socialistic program
disposed of, opposition to Mckinley and
McKinleyism would become the duty of
the Democratic party. No organization
which had endorsed Bryan could ever be
considered Democratic. If we are to
have Democratic party in the future,
those who cherish its principles must
be organized to take up the defense of
them in city, state and nation, the mo-
ment the so-called regular organiza-
tions join the Populistic forces.
ILtSe are lily lHuINluudi We've anu

Nevertheless, have no doubt that if a

wisest method of dealing with this cri-
