of Fusion.

HASTINGS, Neb., Aug. 5.-The Popu-
list state convention convened here to-

main question in controversy was the

ported it's inability to arrange to give
the Democrats any part of the ticket.

BUTLER ASTOUNDED.
Cannot Believe Jones Said What
Was Credited to Him.

Was Credited to Him.
ATLANTA, Ca, Aug 5-Senator
Marion Butler, chairman of the Popu-
list national committee, telegraphed to
the Atlanta Journal this morning the
following signed statement in regard
to Senator Jones interview, criticising
the Southern Populists:
You wire me purported interview with
Chairman Jones' and ask me for a statement
with reference to the same. I am not pre-
pared to believe Senator Jones was quoted
correctly. The election of Mckinley would
mean not only four years more of Sherman
ism and Clevelandism, but also many addi-
tional and cumulative resulting evils No in
tellfgent patriotic voter, no true American
citizen, can by his action or fnaction be re-
sponsible, directly or indirectly for such a
threatened calamity. The only possible way
that 1t can be averted is by complete har-
monious and enthusiastic union of all the
parties opposed to the destructive rule of
corporate greed and British gold upon the
candidates for president and vice president
that represent just the opposite of what
Mckinley and Hobart represent
Those upon whom is the great response
bility of the contamination of this end should
not do or say anything that would produce
friction, but should the other hand sub
ordinate all minor differences and bend every
energy for harmonious union and victory
when the cause of outraged and suffering hui
manity is trembling in the balance when
victory for American Independence and pros
perity is in sight.
What humiliating and sickening specta-
Gle 1t would be, should the folly of personal
ambition and the demon Of party spirit step
in to confuse and divide the allied majority
and deliver our people into the hands of the
enemies Of Republican institutions. But this
cannot this will not happen. The Ameri-
can people are not now in any humor to be
trifed with. They realize the cause of our
evils, they fully appreciate the threatened
danger. They will this year, drive the
British money changers and their American
q he arIn 0P A-I-.
charge Of their own affairs. It would be bet
ter for candidates and chairman to do less
talking for the present. But in spite of the
indiscretions of individuals and so-called
leaders, the American people have determin-
ed to win this fight, and they will do it.

FIREMAN M'DoNALD MISSING.
Sensational Features Connected
With His Disappearance.

William Harry Mcdonald, lieutenant
engine company No. II, Minneapolis
fire department, located at Second
street southeast, corner Central ave-
nue., is missing from his post of duty
and from his home, and his where
abouts is at present unknown. He left
the engine house Monday noon to take
dinner at his home, as was his custom,
and has not since been seen. Not re-
turning that evening, Captain Sandy
Hamilton sent man in search of him,
but secured no tidings. In his room at
the engine house was found his star,
suggesting the inference that he left
the engine house with the intention Of
not returning.
Members of the department are I'M
able to explain his disappearance. He
is known to have recently undergone
domestic trouble, resulting in a sepa-
ration from his wife, and alleged pend
ing divorce suit. Last week Mcdonald
appeared in the municipal court as
complainant in warrant charging
three east side residents with kidnap-
ping his twelve-year-old child.

cussion at meeting of the Union league at
the league parlors last evening. From the
sentiment manifested there and the reports
from committees of arrangement there is
every indication that Senator John NJ Thurs

only by the capacity of Exposition. The
Union Veterans league will form at the
West hotel and act as body guard to the
distinguished gentleman on his way to the
Exposition. The Fifth ward Republican
club will accompany the veterans. There
will, however, be no parade of clubs.

TRAVEL AT AN END.
John w. Arctander Returns From a
European Trip.

european TIP
John w Arctander, who for two
months has been sojourning on the
continent, returned Tuesday, accom-
panied by his wife, who has been
spending the last year in Paris. His
experience in Europe has been of the
pleasantest character. His first point
OF visit was Paris, where, together
with his wife and Alexander Bull, he
enjoyed the Grand Prix. From there
he and his wife went to Norway while
Mr.. Bull left for Ireland, where he is
now spending the summer.
Most of Mr.. Arctanders time was
spent in Christiana, the capital, where
he commingled with the artists and
literary lights of Norway. One of his
most interesting experiences was a
visit to Bjornstjern Bjornson.
Mr.. Arctander had long and inter-
eSting talk with Bjornson, in which the
latter declared that 1t was his intention
to soon leave Norway forever He has
become thoroughly Disguised with the
manner in which his suggestions in
political affairs have been treated. It
seems certain now that the Radicals
will be defeated at the next election as
their management of the business of
the country has been of q most miser-
able character.
BjornSon expressed a wish to visit
America some time in the future If
he does so, it will not be as lecturer
but simply to observe American con-
ditions, as he has always been inter
ested in American affairs, and In spirit
is thoroughly American.
Mr.. Arctander spent one week in
England on his way home. At Land
ednow, Wales, he attended session of
the Estedfod, the national singing
tournament of Wales, and where there
were several thousands of people pres
ent. He also spent some time in the
northern part of Wales, wandering
among the cid haunted castles, in the
hope of becoming acquainted with
some of the nocturnal visitors
