The dead body of Mrs. McFarlane,
the old woman who wandered from
nome and was lost in the Kaumanu
woods about two weeks ago. has been
found. Continued search since her
disappearance has been kept up
thursdays Herald has this to say of
the matter:
Search for the missing Mrs. Me-
Farlane was continued until late on
Tuesday afternoon, when her body
was found by her son John McFarlane
and his son Howard. These men had
searched every day since the mother
disappeared, and on Tuesday they
went into the timber in the vicinity
of the house where the old lady had
left her cloak.
"They pursued their search farther
than usual and about half mile in
the dense forest the body was discoy-
cred. The old lady had evidently sat
down to rest and when death over
took her she fell over on her side.
Clinging on a broken branch near her
was handkerchief, evidently placed
there by her TO attract attention.
"The body was i'm Il fair state of
preservation and was not disturbed bv
the finders until the arrival of Sheriff
Andrews and Captain Hitchcock about
dusk. Notwithstanding the careless
rumors there is absolutely no ground
for suspicion of any foul play. The
body was brought to Hilo Yesterday
afternoon and Inferred i'm the Gene

FUSION IN OREGON
Is Opposed by Populists Unless They
Can Be the Whole Thing.

Portland, Ore, March 23.-The Demo-
Gratis, Populsts and Silver Republicans
of Oregon held state conventions in this
city today for the purpose OF nominal
ing two congressman and a full state
ticket from governor downward. The
Democrats and Silver Republicans are
almost unanimously in favor of fusion
but there is a division in the ranks of
the Populists, which threatens to cause
a serious split in the convention. J. P.
Young, chairman of the Populist state
central committee who has a large fol-
lowing is opposed to fusion. The mid
die of the road POpuhstS, however, are
believed to be in the minority and in
case the Populist convention insists up
on fusion with the Democrats and Sill
yer Republicans, it is said that a num-
Der of delegates will walk out of the
convention.
Fifty-twO middle Of the road dele
gates, including Chairman Young, Of
the state central committee, held a eau
Gus last night and after reciting that an
attempt was being made to disrupt the
Peoples party and deliver it over to
the Democracy under the guise of fu-
sion, adopted the following resolution:
Resolved, That we demand that any
union or fusion shall be on the Peoples
party platform and under Populist
leadership"
They say if their demands are not
complied with, they will nominate
separate ticket
