CHICAGO. ILL, Sept. "A meeting OF
the executive committee of the Western
Passenger Association was held to-day
for the purpose of considering the future
OF the association and the best methods
to be employed In trengthening the or
ganizatlon. The association has not been
able to accomplish all that the chairman
and executive committee would have
liked on account of the strong lines that
have refused to become members. 1t was
decided that Chairman Caldwell should
arrange for meeting of all the lines in
the West which have interested territory
in the association and q discussion will
be made to strengthen the association
and remove some of the handlcaps under
which the chairman and the executive
committee have labored ever since the
prom u CATION of the Supreme Court de-
cision which dealt such body blow to
railroad associations.
The meeting, which will be held some
where about the middle OF the pre- sent
month, will be general in its character
and as much for the purpose of obtaining
the views of the different roads as any
other reason.
The Burlington, Atchison, Northwest
ern and other Interested lines have met
the rate OF the Rock Island for the con.
ven ton of letter carriers at San Fran
cisco. 1t is not likely that there will be
any generalization over the rates as the
business is very light.

TIE FoREsT Y PROBLEM.

Secretary Bliss IL Becoming Much In
t-rsstpd in the System.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 2-Secre-
tary Bliss is taking great interest i'll the
forestry problem, and is watching the de-
velopmeuts in The compre hensive system
of employing special tents with assigned
districts for the complete supervision and
surveillance of the segregated tracts.
Some time ago under the auth thority of
Congress the States embracing the vari-
Gus reserves were placed in districts each
in charge of special agent appointed bv
the Secretary of the Interior, with au-
hority for employing such assistants as
were necessary. This scheme, though
limited in effectiveness by a meager p
propriat ton, is being put in force as rap
Idly as circumstances will permit. The
results so far attained are regarded with
satisfaction BY the department. One of
the most important results has been to
check the ravages of forest fires. This
feature especially has met with the ap-
proval of the settlers and has secured
their hearty cooperation. Commissioner
Hermann OF the General Land Office is
now making a personal inspection OF the
new system and its workings on the Pa
cifc Coast. He re ports seeing one forest
fire, which would ordinarily have been
very destructive, promptly checked by the
new forestry CORPS,

FUSION PLAN
GOES THROUGH
Three Parties of Ne
braSka Join in Making
Up a Ticket.
Nominations for Supreme
Judge and University Re-
gents Agreed Upon.
Democrsts, Popullsts and Silver
Republicans Are .nally Induced
to Combine.

LINCOLN, NEBR. Sept. 2-As predicted
by the party leaders, the three parties
Democratic, Populist and Silver Republi-
cans-joined hands in fusion and the
ticket placed in the field is:
For Supreme Judge, John j. Sullivan
Dem }, Columbus; for State University
Regent, Evan Forell (Pop.} of Kearney
and George F. REMOVER (SiIver Rep.) Of
Wisnsr
Many delegates maintain that the fu-,
sion was perfectly harmonious. while
there are others who claim that there
may vet be dissension on the Silver Re-
publican side, as about one.third OF their
delegates went home early this morning
before fusion was effected.
For while in the three conventions
it looked very precarious for harmony, as
the Silver Republicans had very warm
time, mum Der of ''middle- Of the-road"
delegates talking in favor of the nomina-
ton of straight ticket in order to pre-
serve their organization. Finally 1t was
announced that the Democrats and Silver
Republicans had agreed upon John L.
Sullivan for Supreme Judge ana signs OF
fusion began 10 appear. Even then 1t
was not until Judge Neville urged the in
dorsement of Mr.. Sullivan that the Popu-
lists gave in. At noon the agreement to
fuse was finally reached and the rest OF
the proceedings were of short duration.
1t became very evident near the close
that neither Scott, Neville nor Thompson
could be nominated by any two OF tie
conventions and the maneuver OF the
Democrats in substituting Sullivan was
considered a coup d'etat that cut short
what might have resulted in along-drawn,
knotty convention, full of fight and ulti-
mately separating the three parties so
widely that fusion would have been an
unknown condition for years to come.
This is the condition freely expressed on
every hand.
There were fifteen counties unrepre-
sented in the Populst convent ton, and
about the same number absent from the
other gatherings.
The delegates began leaving the city as
soon as fusion became an assured thing
and by evening there were scarcely score
at any OF the hotels.
