AUBURN, Me-, June 19.-William Jennings
Bryan need cast no hopeful eyes on the pros
pect OF populistic support and fusion in Maine
In 1900. Judging from the overwhelming victory
OF the go-it-alone Populists at the meeting of the
State Populist mmit here this afternoon.
Prof, L. @. Bateman of this city. erstwhile
Populist candidate for Governor of Maine, able
politician and relentless Toe OF Arthur Scwall
and the Brynnite Democrats Of Maine, won a
great victory and took the Maine Populist party
into the middle OF the road. and, incidental
thereto, into the Wharton Barker Presidential
boom camp.
When tho coming Nashville conference was
first preached thore wero abundant signs OF a
Populist bolt In Maine. Several leading Pop
ulists who had supported Bryan and Sewall
opposed Il and Snt"E9PizSd Bateman;
today Went almost .nnanimously tor what

These sentiments fairly express the over
whelming view of tho convention, with the adj
ded assertions: mo more Democracy, no moro
fusion" These red.hot resolutions were carried
with but two dissenting votes:
y. The Peoples Party State Committee, in
conference do hereby declare that the
late alliance with the silver Democracy has
proven a failure and should no longer be con-
tinued.
"2. We condemn in unqualified terms the bru-
tai Treatment accorded by the Democratic party
TO the Populists, and especially TO that great ma
uonnl leader, the Hon. Thomas +. Watson.
-. That the leaders of the silver Democrats
have. by their insincerity and hypocrisy. proven
that they are unworthy to longer lead the re-
form forces OF this nation, and we therefore de-
mand that there shall be no further fusion with
that faction OF the Democratic party"
After scoring the Republican Administration
the resolutions concluded:
That the delegates selected to attend the
Nashville conference be instructed to use all
honorable means to recall our party to the sup
port Of straight Populist principles, as set forth
In the Omaha and st. Louis platforms"

The matter has developed very rapidly OF

was working hard to secure the abrogation OF
the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty, but many Sen.

unfair TO practically abrogate by a tariff measure
a provision OF a treaty which called Tor twelve
months notice OF intention TO abroRate, and
many others believed the United States was
getting the better OF the bargain under the treaty.
On our part. we have felt that annexation was

Peculiar Aetion OF Mexican Authorities In .
Murder Case on tho Border.
SAN DIEGO. Gal, Juno 1e.-The body Of Q
young man, unknown and well dressed. was
found by q Mexican yesterday at Tia Juana, on
tho line between California and Mexico. He
notified the authorities Of Mexico and the latter.
after perfunctory examination. buried the body.
There was a bullet hole In his head and o re-
volver In his hand. but the wound showed that
1t was a case Of murder. and not suicide. There
was nothing on the body to identify It. To-day
an international Inquest was held, Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Kirby Of San Diego representing
this country. 1t was shown clearly that the man
was murdered. The Mexican officials refused to
allow the body to be exhumed on tho ground
that It would endanger public health, and only an
order from the city OF Mexico can change their
decision. They gave as a reason for burying the
body in tho public road that tho case would
thereby be kept alive in the minds OF the rest
dents. and efforts would be made to apprehend
the criminal. II the case was one, Of suicide 1t
was fitting that the grave should he plared
where It would serve as a warning against such
acts. This wisdom fell from tho lips Of the JUS
tice of Peace at Tia Juana.
