THE HUMBOLDT SAILS.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. lit was
not until 4:45 o'clock this afternoon
that the steamship Humboldt dropped
out into the stream and headed for
the Golden Gate.
At st. Michaels the vessel will have to
anchor some six hundred yards or more
from shore, and the lightering must be
done with the boats carried upon the
ship.
Owners and masters of vessels famil-
lar with Alaskan traffic and the trip
to the Yukon country, make the fol-
lowing calculation: The Humboldt will
get to ST. Michaels about September
1st. Having no wharf to land at, it
will require a long time to discharge
her cargo. Without machinery it will
take from three to four weeks to put
the river barges together That will
bring the time up to about October 1st.

WAS A STUBBORN FIGHT.
Colonel Hunters Capture of Abu
Hamed.

CAIRO, Aug. 11.-Oficial dispatches
from Assouan, on the Nile, near the
first cataract, give details of the cap
ture of Abu Hamed on August 7th by
the Anglo Egyptian troops under Col
onel Hunter, after an eighteen hours
march from Merawi.
After carrying the high ground over
looking the town, the Anglo Egyptian
troops advanced to the attack upon the
village. A stubborn house-to- house
fight ensued, and Colonel Hunter was
obliged to bring up the artillery before
it was possible to carry the position
The total loss was twenty-one killed
and sixty-one wounded, of which the
Tenth Soudanese Battalion lost four
teen killed, among them two brother
officers, and thirty-four wounded. Ma

leading his men to the attack, and died
in five minutes. Lieutenant Fitz Clar-
enee was shot almost at the same mo-
ment through the heart. Three Egyp-
tian officers received severe gunshot
wounds.
The village is a network of crowded
houses and twisting narrow alleys, so
that most of the fighting was done at

FUSION REPUDIATED.
OHIO POPULISTS WILL RUN A
STRAIGHT TICKET.
The State Convention Sewers It's
Allegiance With the Demo-
cratic Party.

COLUMBUS (O), Aug. 11.-Fusion
was repudiated to-day by the Populists
of Ohio in a manner so emphatic as to
leave no chance for controversy regard
ing the future policy of the party. The
Populist State Convention, by an over
whelming majority, severed the alliance
made a year ago with the Democracy
on the free silver issue and nominated
a full State ticket, headed by Jacob
Coxey of Commonweal fame as the
nominee for Governor.
Turbulent scenes marked the opening
of the convention this morning. The
nti-fusionists had swept everything
before them, capturing the temporary
and permanent organization and all the
committees, and they were on their
mettle. Nor was the policy adopted by
the fusionists calculated to temper the
feeling which had been aroused among
the middle of -the-road delegates.
The threat of the fusionists to ex-
plode a bomb in the convention was
like Haunting a red flag, and when the
convention assembled the delegates
were ready for any surprise that might
be sprung. The report of the Commit
tee on Rules and Order of Business
DfOuSnI OUT lIlG SSHSdtlOIl.
The report provided that no speech
should exceed five minutes, regardless
of the subject discussed, claiming that
it was contrary to the fundamental
principles of the Peoples party, and an
amendment was reported to strike out
of the report the obnoxious section.
Finally Peter Witt of Cleveland Sc
cured recognition from Chairman Seitz,
and mounting a chair proceeded to de-
nounce the committee making the re-
port, and asserted that the convention
had been bought out by Mark Hanna.
He claimed he had proof that delegates
had been bribed by the Republicans,
and had the proof, providing he was
given an opportunity to produce it.
The matter could not be presented in
five minutes, nor discussed in that time,
and he charged that the committees
report was aimed to prevent it. AS
Witt waved aloft in his hand a piece
of paper, which he claimed was a check
that had been given one of the dele
gates by an agent of Mark Hanna, he
launched into a bitter inveetive against
the anti-fusionists, charging that all
of them had been corrupted by Hanna
money.
A score or delegates were on thelr
feet in an instant, crowding around the
chair on which Witt stood. When one
of the delegates attempted to pull Witt
off the chair the latter struck at the
delegate, and general melee ensued,
in which several blows were exchanged
and chairs raised aloft in a threatening
maner. A policeman who was present
rushed in and interrupted hostilities,
and a few minutes later a platoon of
police reached the convention hall, and
Witt proceeded after quiet had been
restored with a blue coat in the aisle.
The police remained until the conven-
ton took a final adjournment.
The anti-fusionists were not in the
least dismayed by the charges that had
been made, and the report of the Com
mittee on Rules and Order of Business
was adopted in it's original form by a

wishes repeatedly charged through the
narrow streets. Finally their cavalry,
having lost over half their number, fol-
lowed by about 100 infantry, fled. The
Dervishes' commander, Mahomet Zein,
was captured. Another well-known
Fmir stubbornly defended himself with
his followers in a strongly fortified
house, and was only killed at last when
the house was destroyed by the artil-
lery.
A large number of prisoners, arms,
stands, camels and horses with other
property were taken.
