Fusion Between the Republicans
and POpuIists.

RALEIGH, y. c.. September 2.-(Spe-
ial)-As far as the Republican ana
Populist State committees can effect it,
fusion is again arranged in North Caro-
lima. from top to bottom"
The Republican State Committee met
last evening and appointed a Conference
Committee composed of a. +. Holton'
E. c. Duncan, John C Dancy, J. a. Nor
wood. and William Il. Clark. This com
mittee met with the Populist conference
Committee. OF which Cyrus thompson
H. w. Aver j. b. Lloyd, }. Il. Schulklh,
Zach. T. Garrett, and A. S. Peace were
present
The conference. which was absolutely
secret, lasted until 1890 this morning.
Then the Joint Conference Committee
gave out a signed statement, which was
drawn up by Aver the Populist secretary
and signed by State-Chairmen Holton
and Thompson.
A HARMONIOUS CONCLUSION.
The statement says the conference re-
suited in a unanimous and harmonious
conclusion to the effect that II was al
visable and necessary TO effect complete
cooperation Of the two parties ior inc
election of 1898, the details or such CO
operation 10 be arranged in Difference to
( the expressions of the various CONVEX
tons Of the two parties, and recommends
that the various counties ana dl-t.ici -
proceed to nominate cooperative tickets
on mutually agreeable conditions. luS
committees give the assurance that their
best offices and assistance will be given
in any matter necessary TO effect the CO
operation above recommended and ad-
vised. Later the full Republican STATE
Committee met and endorsed what mad
been done
The Populist committee did not meet
to-day. but the Republican committee
did. Ii was learned that the Populist de-
mand was that that party should have
all the congressman il had named so Tar.
and all the judges and solicitors it had
nominated. The Republicans want the
CONGRESSMAN in the Third District. II
looks like they will get him, as the Popu-
list committee has no regard whatever
for John f. Fowler. Populist nominee
there whom The Republicans are bent
on crushing.
ANOTHER MEETING.

ulist committeeman say. They further say

IN ACTUAL NEED.

when men who have been investi-
eating the condition of the Florida camp
say we have not been in actual need of
food and medical assistance they do not
know what they are talking fabout. My
men cannot march in straight lines, on
account of their weakness. They cannot
carry their rifles at the right position.
They cannot march any distance without
many Of them having to drop out OF the
ranks TO rest l think that our coming
home has saved the lives of hundreds
in the regiment"
The officers of Colonel Studebaker's
regiment hesitate about fixing blame on
any particular government official They
saw they are still in the service, and
court martial might meet the man who
talks too much.

June 1t was happy day for us when
We received orders to leave there.
But when we moved we did not bet
ter our condition much. The fevers fol-
lowed us and day by day the regiment
became weaker. At Fernandina we had
the same difficulty in obtaining proper
food. The United States authorities
seemed willing enough TO provide us with
what we needed, but Fernandina is such
an out-of- the-way place that 1t is diff
cult 10 reach it. Only one railroad runs

Colonel Studebaker's Tigers" the 18th

from the South this morning. The regi-
ment left its camp at Fernandina, Fla.
last Tuesday evening The soldiers were
given an enthusiastic reception by the
citizens: Colonel Studebaker said:
This is not the same regiment l took
away from Indianapolis last May. The
personality is the same, but it Is made
up of a different lot Of men. They have
fever in their bones, they are hungry
and their strength is wasted. 1T is all
due TO the cess-pools in which we lived
in the South.

Washington Letter.
Washington, Mar. "a, 1s9s.


Although Secretary Long has again
officially denied the renewed statement
that the president had been informed of
the nature of the report that will be made
by the naval court of injury, there is no
doubt that the president, in common with
almost everybody else, fully expects that
the report will be that the explosion was
on the outside of the Maine. OF course,
he cannot act until the official report is
made, but he can get ready to back up
his action, and that he is doing. Every
ship that can possibly be made use of in
case of war with Spain is being care
fully looked after by naval experts, and
every mandatory with plant for making
guns or ammunition, has received assur-
ances that the government will, until
further notice, buy everything in that
line they can make.
The only actual enlistments yet being
made are of men for the two new artillery
regiments, authorized by congress, and Of
men for the navy, but the war depart
ment is getting together arms, ammuni-
ton and accoutrements for 100000 men,
so that there will be no delay in getting
any army together at short notice. We
are already going ahead too fast for Spain,
which is now showing an anxiety to delay
matters. 3
Nearly every day brings new and more
or less elaborate scheme for some sort of
Intervention In Cuba by this government
before the public, but President Nc
Kinley's scheme, If he has one, is still un-
known. The latest idea Is that the U. s..
shall demand of both the Spainards and
Cubans that hostilities cease, and that
some sort Of an arrangement be made
whereby the Cubans are to control Cuba,
and to remain nominally under control OF
Spain. The advocates of this scheme
think 1t an all around good one because il
would obviate the necessity Of this govern,
ment assuming control Of Cuba. They
say that the Cubans are untitled for In
dependent self-government, and that un-
til the population becomes much improved
the island would not make a desirable ac-
cession to the q. s.; therefore that the
logical outcome is Cuban government
under the Spanish auspices. But all this
Is put forward In the belief and depend
emit upon the contingency that Spain will
satisfactorily meet the demands that may
be made on account Of the loss of the
Maine, and that we shall not have to
fight to enforce those demands-a belief
that is heavily in the minority.
II the talk OF an alliance between Eng.
land and the U. S., which was started
several days ago, because Of message o.
congratulation brought to President Nc
Kinley from Queen Victoria, by the
British Ambassador, was intended as a
feeler of public sentiment, those respon-
sIble for 1t must be convinced that such
alliance is desired by any considerable
number Of Americans. This country
would need no assistance to whip SPAIN.

Judge Dwight Loomis has given his de-
cision in the two Tolland county superior
court cases which were heard by him in
Hartford few weeks ago as state referee.
The first was brought by the Rockville
Savings Bank in the form of an inter
pleader to determine who was entitled to
$3.50 which was on deposit in the bank to
the credit of Arnold Converse, late of
Somers, and which was claimed by Angie
s. W6lcott, who has been housekeeper
for Mr.. Converse for many years before
he died, and also by Carlos A. Converse,
as administrator of the estate of his
father. The other action was brought by
Miss Wolcott to recover for services
rendered Mr.. Converse for many years
prior to the time of his DEATH Somers
people had a great interest in the case and
during the two days Judge Loomis took
testimony many residents of the section
where Mr.. Converse lived were called as
witnesses. Judge LOOMS has decided the
cases in favor of Miss Wolcott, that she
is entitled to the money on deposit in the
Rockville Savings Bank and that she is
entitled to receive 1927 from the estate OF
Arnold Converse for services rendered
him.
James P. Andrews and Judge Briscoe
appeared for Miss Wolcott and Charles
Phelps for Carlos Converse.
