SILVER FUSION
In Nebraska Is an Assured Fact.

safe to say that harmonious fusion of
the three silver parties in Nebraska

operation of forces was dispelled by
the two goodwill mass meetings held
last night and this morning. The
sentiment on every tongue is to fuse
regardless OF which party furnishes
the nominee for Supreme Judge.
Judge William Neville is strongly
urged by the Populists for the nomina-
ton, but his supporters are not arbi-
trary and express themselves willing
to stand by nominee from one of the
other parties if it is necessary for
fusion. The Democrats who favor w +.
II. thompson express great confidence
in victory, but frankly admit that
their hopes are not iron-clad. What
they want, they say, is fusion above
all things. The Republicans are ready
to support the popular candidate. The
interest in the contest for the Judge
has reached a point Of great enthusi-
asm, and in the crowded hotel Hobbies
names are being mentioned almost by
the score.
The Silver Democratic State Central
committee met this morning at the
L1ndell and agred to recommend E. A.
Shellenberger, of Alma, to their con-
vention as temporary chairman. At
torney General c. J. Smythe. Of
Omaha, will be recommended for per-
manent chairman. The Silver Repub-
lican State Central Committee met in
the Lincoln and agreed to recommend
f. F. LOOMS, Of Edholm, for tempo
rary chairman, and to leave the nom
ination of permanent chairman to the
choice OF the convention. The COM
mittee also agreed to recommend that
the convention adopt as the emblem
of the Silver Republican party the
Goddess of Liberty seated with
shield in her right hand, staff in her
left, and cap ON top of the staff as de-
picted on the dollars of 1873.
The Populists have agreed to wait
until their convention opens before APP
pointing a temporary chairman. In
this connection, G. w. Berge, of Lin

Careful to Say Little About the Proposed
Settlement of the Coal Strike.
Columbus, Ohio, September l.
President Ratchford, of the United
Mine Workers, returned from ST. Louis
to-day, and several members of the
national executive board are also here
to attend the meeting which has been
postponed to Thursday morning. The
board will consider a proposition from
the Pittsburg operators for the miners
in that district to return to work at
"a cents a ton pending arbitration of
differences. President Ratchford has
not received the formal proposition,
but it will probably be presented to the
executive board tomorrow. He has
extended an invitation to the operators
to have representatives present and
explain their proposition fully. None of
the operators had arried during the
evening and none Of the resident Ohio
operators had been advised of their in
tentions. President Ratchford refuses
to talk on the probable outcome of
the national board meeting until more
is known of the proposition of the
Pittsburg operators. The miners Off
Gals are not disposed to regard favor
ably any proposition for an agreement
for the remainder of the present year
officially. If any agreement is made
they desire that it shall be for a full
year.

nation which will require the attention of

The lawmakers will be asked to ratify
the annexation treaty recently signed in
Washington, and as a majority of the
members favor annexation, the matter
will be rushed through.
A Senator is authority for the state
ment that Minister Hatch brought word
from President Mckinley that he had re-
solved to call Congress two months earlier
than usual for the purpose of disposing
of the treaty before the regular session;
and this theory, it appears, finds favor
with other Senators. Another matter to
be considered by the Hawaiian Senate
is that of rendering assistance to the ex-
ecutive in the unravelling Of the Japanese
muddle, as it is said that Japan's accept
ances of the offer of arbitration is so
vague that the President and his cabinet
are in quandary. There are rumors Of
a split in the cabinet over the question
and it is said that the intervention of the
Senate is required, to prevent an open
rupture.
1t is said that a call has been made for
a mammoth demonstration September IA,
against closer political union with the

great struggle will soon be over all
profess ignorance of the negotiations
now said to be in progress with that
end in view.
Cameron Miller, ex-vice president of
the United Mine Workers of America,
received a telegram from President
Ratchford this morning denying the
statement that he had made a prOpo-
sition to the operators and saying that
he had received an offer that he would
submit to the executive board.
This proposition comes from Thomas
Young, who represented the M. A.
Hanna interests. The leading lake
Shippers WHO are III TltlSUuTS Supudl-
ically deny that Mr.. Young is on the
executive committee Of the organiza-
ton, or that he has any authority to
represent them. The offer of Ga cents,
they say, is higher than they are will
ing to make, but if it will bring about
a settlement it would likely be accept
ed.
Some of them said the proposition
reported to have been made by Pres
ident Ratchford to start the mines at
50 cents, five cents of which was to be
retained until decision had been given
by the board of arbitration, would be
satisfactory. They were inclined to
believe that settlement Of some kind
would be made within a few days.
They still contend, however, that if
an agreement is reached at the miners
terms the benefit will be only temporary
and the rate will go down again as
soon as navigation closes.
