passenger. This portion of the train
is the one most fancied by the expert

he is safe from the observation of the
trainmen, but the getting on is a diff
cult and quite dangerous feat. This
is how it is done. You plant" your

rod that runs along the side of the
car, you place one foot on the rear
truck and proceed craftily to swing
under When you have wormed your
body safely through between the floor
of the car and the top of the trick you
will find your feet touching two iron
rods which cross each other at right
angles in the space between the truck
beams. You double up, seat yourself
on the rods, and brace your feet against
the beam. Then when you have
lit your cigarette, you settle
yourself patiently to endure the
dust and smoke sustained
by the thought that you are reasonably
sure of making a division jump. Woe

to sleep and allow your feet to drag.

SAYS THEY WILL GO It ALONE
PoPULISTS WILL DECLINE TO
FUSE WITH DEMOCRATS.
Chairman Rankin Says His Party
Has Always Received the Small
End In Fusion.

Terre Houte, Ind, July 6.-Mortimer
C. Rankin, chairman of the Populist
national central committee, was inter
viewed this afternoon in regard to
whether the Populists would form a
fusion with the Democrats for the COM
ing campaign. Mr.. Rankin said they
would not for the reason that the Pop
ulists will hold their national conven-
ton one month prior to either the Re
publican or Democratic conventions.
For this reason the Populists will pre-
pare their own platform and nominate
their own candidates.
The time for the national Populist
convention is not determined yet, and
cannot be determined until one Of the
big political parties names the date for
its convention. Mr.. Rankin stated that
the party was split up in its views, but
it was hoped that every one would be
brought to one course before the con-
yention met.
The Populists of Nebraska, Mr.. Ran
kin said, We're in favor of fusion, should
they be allowed to name the nominee
for vice president on the Democratic
ticket. While this might be allowed in
Nebraska, the other states will by no
means submit TO such an action The
Populists are tired of fusion, for they
have found that whenever they entered
into a fusion with the Democrats the
latter party received the benefit, while
the Populists were there merely TO
fill up.
Mr.. Rankin stated that the party
was split upon the matter of holding
the Philippine islands. In his opinion
the object of the government should
be to tear down all the monarchieS pos
sible and construct upon the debris the
foundation of republics-the more re-
publics the better. He said if the Dem
ocrats fight the policy of the admins
tration in holding the Philippines until
a suitable form of government has been
formed, they will find themselves
showed under far worse than they were
in 1896

MORE CASES AT HAVANA.
Doctors, However, Do Not Believe
Epidemic Will Be Serious.

Havana, July 1.-TWO cases of yellow
fever have been reported today. One
of the patients is an old Spanish
woman, who is in Cuba for two years,
and whose disease is in a mild form
The other case is that of an American
whose symptoms are still doubtful. al
though it is believed by Surgeon Major
Davis and other officers to be yellow
fever. Both cases were discovered in
a part of the city little frequented by
Americans.
Surgeon Major Davis does not believe
there is now much danger that the dis
ease viii spread. He says that at this
time of the year there are always a
few cases of the fever. Every effort
will be made to prevent its increase.
General Ludlow is satisfied it is i'm
possible as yet to keep yellow fever
out of Havana, and especially such dis
tricts as that at the southern end of
First street. The health of the troops
is remarkably good, and makes a better
showing than at many posts in the
United States.
