son OF the last campaign will fail of re-
SUR. Ihose the most eager for fusion are
now chary of it,"
II. D. Barney thinks the late message or
auutess Is good enough to express what lie
THINKS personally. In his oplniop it is "a
clever proposition
Ihere are good many of the reform
parties L would be willing to fuse with -
ne sald, such as the Social Dem ocracy.
have always heen of that beiisf, but it is
a mistake TO think there was any fusion
with the Buckfeyites. Certain Buckley
m IN came before US for our indorse mem.
ana they got 1t because nobody in our
party happened TO want to run. They
realized tul we'll that they had not the
ghost OF show, and believed if these
Buckleyites wanted to be submerged they
should be permitted 10 follow their own
sweet VIII. why, We even lndorsed some
OF the RalneyIteS for the same reason"
This view of Mr.. Barney Is novel one,
and doubtless causes him to look on the
results OF fusion with a kinder eye than
most OF his colleagues. There is little
doubt that many of them would sleep bet
ter II they could bring their minds to this
righteous conclusion.
But George d. Gillespie, who was de-
posed from the position OF secretary of the
county committee under tue Haskell re-
glme on suspicion of looking on The wine
OF fusion when 1t was red. can't believe
just as Mr.. Barney does. This is what he
saws:
The People party has reached the con-
cluslon that fusion on the lines of ths last
campaign is an utter failure. The rank
and hle of the party would not consent to
II again under any condition. Under cer-
tain conditions fusion with a desira hle
element might be carried ont. The TX
amlner took many votes away from the
party while ostensl bly favoring fusion by
generally advising the voting of the
Democratic ticket. Many good Populists IS
thought from this that the votes might
not be aggregated, and voted the Demo-
cratic ticket.
Notwithstanding this the Secretary of
state official register shows that the
Populists got $4,000 votes in this State,
and we know now that we are stronger
than we ever were before. But there is TO
be no more love teasting between the
lam b and the lion, with the lamb for the
ieast'
Carleton H. Johnson has always op-
posed the idea of fusion and is more bitter
toward it now than ever.
AS for Burnette G. Haskell, he repre-.
sents the political therm nome ter His posi-.
lion as boss depends on it. When the
rarty is against fusion his voice can
be depended on 10 decry it as positively
wicked.

WAS BATTERED
BY HURRICANES
Narrow Escape Of the
American Ship Cyrus
Wakefield.
The Steam Pumps Kept Going
Constantly for Over
Sixty Days.
There Was Never Less Than Three
Feet of Water in the Hold OFF
Cape Horn.

The American ship Cyrus Wakefield,
which is now being oYerhauIed at the
Steuart-street wharf, had a narrow escape
on her last voyage. For sixty days there
was never less than three feet of water in
the hold, and the steam pumps were kept
going constantly. When the coast of CAL
ifornia was reached more heavy weather
was encountered, and in consequence the
vessels seams opened more and more.
and at times Captain Henry feared that
his vessel would go down bodily.
Off The River Platte the Wakefield was
caught in a hurricane that blew away
nearly q whole suit of sails and strained
the vessel terribly. Captain Henry made
a thorough examination OF the hull and
in spite OF the fact that the vessel was
leaking he decided to hold on. Twice the
attempt was made to round the Horn, but
the vessel was driven back. Each buffet
ing made her leak a little more, and the
ca plain decided t hat if the third attempt
failed he would run to Montevideo for re-
pairs.
On the third attempt the Wakefield got
into the Pacific, but that did not end her
troubles. Another gale was encountered
and the steam and hand pumps had to be
kept going night and day. At this point
80 men out OF 100 would have run for the
nearest port, but the captain of the Wake
field held on and broug ght his vessel to
her destination.
A considerable portion of the vessels s
cargo was damaged and some OF it Is use
less. When nearly all of it was out the
ship was put on Hunters Point dry dock
for an overhauling. New waterways
were put in, the ceiling was wedged fore
and aft, quarter stanchloIs were put i'll on
each side, the hanging knees in the tween
decks were rebolted. a new maln-deck
beam was added and new hatch comblngs
put on, the decks were calked and the
hull was stripped. calked and coppered.
The spars also suffered in the gale, and a
new miZzen- mast, main topmast, lower
main yard and topgellant yard had to
be put in.
The timber used IN the waterways has
a history. 1t was 24x24X117 and came
from Washington. 1t was on exhibition
during the Midwinter Fair and the gen
eral opinion was that no other country in
the world could produce such perfect
timber. w. A. Boole, who Is repairing z
the Wakefield, purchased 1t and whip.
sawed ii into two tim bers, each l2x24x1l7
In order to get them into the vessel a
port had to be cut in her bow. Other
timb 65 feet long were scarfed onto
these immense tim bers and the whole
placed in position on each side of the ship.
Hydraulic presses held the timbefs down
while they were fastened 70 the lower
hanging knees with four-foot bolts. Then
they were square fastened both inside and
out.
During her overhauling the Wakefield's
tim bers were bored and not rotten plank
was found in the hull. A firs;-class job
has been made of the repairs, and the IN
spectors now consider The ship, if any,
hing, a better vessel than the day she
was launched. The repairs to her will
cost in the neigh borhood Of $50, ,000

Queer Facts Brought Out
in a Suit Against G. ].
StilWell.
A Friend of Valet Herbert
Clark Acted as a Private
Deteotive.l
The Son of the Dead Millionaire
Was Anxious About His
Fathers Movements.

The fact that Charles Fair, son of the
deceased millions aire, had his father under
detective surveillance about the time OF
his marriage in 1895 was brought out in a
suit that was tried In Justice Groezin-
gers court Yesterday.
G. J. Stillwel, the private detective of
Delmss- Y Dung fame, was sued by A. G.
Reddan for S299 for services rendered as a
detective.
From the testimony it appeared that
Charles Fair was anxious TO know of his
father movements and language regard
ing himself and put the matter in Still
wells hands. Reddan testified that Still
we'll, finding that be was friend OF
Herbert Clark, Senator Fairs valet, EN-
ployed him to reach" the valet and find
out what the Senator was saying about
things that interested the son. He was
also, if possible, to arrange a meeting be-
tween Charles FAIR and Clark.
StiwelI, he said, had agreed to re
munerate him handsomely, out all he re
ceived was $37 50, which was advanced to
pay the expense o! taking Clark to the
theater and other places of amusement
For his forty.two days work he received
nothing.
Charles Fair testified that he had en-
ployed Stilwell to do certain work, and
that in an i;emiZed bill rendered by Still
well he was charged 500 for the services
rend cred by Reddan.
Detective Curtin testified that such se-v-
ices as those rendered by Reddan were
reasonably worth S. per day and expenses.
Detective Stilwell testified that he had
never employed Reddan, but that the lat
ter had gone to work on the case in the
expecta ion of receiving position at the
hands OF Charles Fair.
The court took the case under advise

co hubiera lido parar a manos de pequenos
propietarios jornaleros, compensando en- parte
la depreciation cada dfa mayor de nuestro
merario circulante la carestfa accidental de
muohos artfculos de primera necesidad.
No hay, pues, que alarmarse por las ex-
portaciones que estan realizando para la isla
de Cuba, nj mucho menos tratar de impedirlas.
Lo que urge es llevar d cabo 10 que ya hemos
dicho: emprender sin perdida de tempo gran
des siembras de frutos memories en- toda la isla,
