GREAT CROWDS
 AT THE REGATTA AmeriCan-Canadian Contingent Was Well Represented
 in All Events.

Henly-on- -the-Thames, July 6.-Despite somewhat omnibus morning the greatest crowd of the week attended the regatta today, the club house and the house boats being full of well-groomed men and wo- men. The American and Canadian con tingent was well represented, and hundreds of transient visitors were present. Amer ican interest centered in the race between the Canadians and the London Rowing club, which proved a race worth seeing. It looked like a good thing for the visitors, but the old adage about youth and it's day came painfully in view again. The Cana dians rowed a wonderfully game race, but the Londoners certainly improved as they went along.
 The seventh heat of the diamond souls was an attractive event. The winner of this race would qualify for the final heat of this classical event. The fact that Hem merde, of the Londoners, had rowed so consistently all through the practice mak- ing his half courses in times which ranged between four minutes and four min utes and ten seconds made him an adversary to be reckoned well. It was thought that he might make the Anglo-American row out and so es- tablfsh a new record. Nothing what tever marred the days sport until it was near ing close Then occurred the first mis- hap. This was when the bad steering of the Trinity college four caused them not only to lose the race, but to break their boat. At the first attempt at a settlement Cambridge fouled Megdalene. At the next attempt Cambridge tried to carry away a plie, but ended with a smashed rgger. This was the end of magnificent ouartette of oarsmen, but they had no one to blame but themselves.

WILL NOT FUSE
Populists Will Not Meet Ahead of
 Other Parties and Frame Platform

Terre Haute, Ind. July 6.-Mortimer Crankien, chairman of the populist national committee, said this evening that the popu- lists would not form a fusion with the democrats for the coming campaign for the reason that the populists will hold their national convention one mo, sooner than either the democrats or republicans.
 The populists will prepare their own plat form and nominate their own candidates. The time for the national populist conven- ton will be fixed when one of the big politi- cal parties names the date for its convene tion. MT. Rankin stated that he was not willing to say much concerning the party's views for the approaching campaign, as it has been the desire of the central commit tee to leave the other two political parties in the dark as regards its movements and plans
 However, he stated the party was split up In It's views, but it was hoped that eyery one would be brought to one course before the convention met. The populists of Ne. braska, MT. Crankien said, were in for fr- sion should they be allowed to name the nominee for vice-president on the demo- cratic ticket. While this might be allowed in Nebraska, the other state will by no means submit to such action. MT. Cram kien stated that the party was split on the matter of holding the Philippine islands. MT. CranKien in this connection said that the object of the government should be to tear down all the monarchies possible and construct upon the debris the foundation of republic; the more republics the better, He said if the democrats go to work to fight the policy of the administration 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.

Pretoria, Transvaal, July 6-i1he volks- raad sat in secret session today, President Kruger and the negotiators from the Or ange Free State being present. It is un- derstood that an agreement was reached to grant the franchise immediately to all settlers prior to 1880 and to other classes of residents within seven years, the nat uralization clause to be optional.
 These proposals will be adopted in open session tomorrow. Although Sir Alfred Milner, on behalf of Great Britain, de- manded at the Bloemfontein conference that residence of live years should be qualification for the franchise, 1t is be- lieved that the terms said to have been agreed upon today in the volksraad might be acceptable to the Uitlanders.

STOOD MANY HARD KNOCKS The Regular Army Has Vigor-
 ousIy Fought Him.
 MABS0N GETS A COMMISSION
Will Be Second Lieutenant in the Pro visional Army-The Gall Issued for the Ten Additional Vol
 unteer Regiments

Washington, July 6-(special)-General Wheeler today received orders to report to General Otis at Manila, and he is now speeding away across the continent to go on board the first transport leaving San Francisco.
 In securing orders to go to the Philippines General Wheeler overcame many seem- ing obstacles as any he encountered before Santiago He had to show as much en- durance and stand as many hard knocks. His efforts have been crowned with success, unless between now and the time he leaves San Francisco his enemies do not again get his orders changed. The president told Rep- resentatives Bankhead and Clayton and several members of the Alabama delega- tion this morning he had given orders for Wheeler to go to the Philippines. One of the humorists in the party said:
 MT. President, you have made two men happy, the man who would like to succeed Wheeler in congress and Jesse Stallings, who wants to be governor"
 The president added quickly: "But he may help restore peace so soon that he can still come back to give them trouble.'
 Wheeler will Stay Until Peace Comes
 The general,belief is expressed here today that once General Wheeler embarks in the Philippine campaign he will not quit there until order is restored and his name added to the victors of that archipelago. While boo do authentic statement as to what he intends doing, 1t is very doubtful whether he will care to retain his seat in congress. It seems to be the concensus of opinion among his friends that he will now leave the gu- bernatorial field open to Stallings, if, indeed, ,Nhe does not resign his seat on reaching the Tphilippines. The probability is that he will remain in the army, and at the end receive a soldiers and not statesman's burial.
 -. General Leaves for West
 General, Wheeler, when speaking on the subject<'to me just before leaving for the west, / said:
 ..Tft is difficult for me to say what I will do. Though be ordered to the Philippines 1anQ uBntlnB continues tO US uSCtoSaiy, I jwould not have to accept or hold any place of political honor.'
 The president in sending General Wheeler to the Philippines runs counter to the reg E ular army organization. It was only last e week that it was officially announced that (Eeneral Wheeler would not be sent to the philippines, but the pressure on the presi- dehN has been too much. From all parts of the Scountry the demand that he be sent to Manilaahas come The business men of the north \ have especially asked for Wheeler to be, sent east. He may not be any better soldier than any of the others out there, but as Ntlpus pointed out the peo- ple have the utmost confidence in him, and believe that he would state the case just as it appears to him there.
 The president today appointed Marian Mabson, son of MajoE A. A. Mabson. of Montgomery, to a second lieutenancy in the provisional army.
 The Alabama delegation has united in recommending Captain J. Q. Dixon. of AL abama, for a Majority. A w. 5.

private car No. 991 and perused a news
paper. One of his private secretaries
guarded the entrance and his confidential
messenger stood near the steps leading to
the private car.
The trio composed the party. The train
to which the private car was attached lay
on the most northern of the depot
tracks. With the exception of the rear
portion Of the car 1t was unlighted. There
are few employesof the depot, ferry and

Those who were mot busy gathered at
the rear of the car and gazed through
the window near which the gallant Mill
tary Colonel and Governor Of the Empire
State sat reading. There was not a dozen

gazed curiously at the figure upon which
the eyes OF the nation are more or less
