NEBRASKA POLITICS.
Democrats, Popu1ists and Silver
Republicans Likely to Fuse.

OMAHA, Aug. 20.-The State con-
ventions Of the Democrats, Populists
and Silver Republicans of Nebraska,
will begin in this city on Tuesday Au-.
gust 22d, to place in nomination q can
didate for Justice of the Supreme Court
and two members of the Board of
Regents of the State University There
will be a strong attempt made to fuse
the three parties with good prospect
of success. Ex-Governor Holcomb,
Populist, is the leading candidate for
the Supreme bench, and the present
outlook is that he will receive the nom
ination.
Colonel w. j. Bryan is a delegate TO
the Democratic convention, and it is
reasonably safe to predict that his
wishes will govern the action of that
body This means that fusion will be q
go and the platform will declare for
free silver There is likely to be some
friction before fusion is effected and a
long drawn fight on some of the details,
hut the general feeling here is that the
three parties will come together. On
the question of the Philippines the plat
form will in all probability declare
against expansion and criticise the Ad-
ministration for it's conduct of the war.

IN AN INSANE ASYLUM.
Miss Viola Horlocker Will Proba-
bly, Not be Tried.

OMAHA, Aug. 20.-A special to the
Bee from Hastings, Neb., says:
Word comes to Hastings that Miss
Viola Horlocker, who is resting under
$4,000 bond. charged with having at
tempted TO take the life of Mrs Charles
F. Morey by sending her box of pois-
oned candy on April 10th, is now in an
insane asylum at Jacksonville, Ill.
About two months ago Miss Hor-
locker went to New York City to visit
her sister and recuperate, but it was
generally thought at that time she
would not return to Hastings to attend
the continuation of her hearing, which
was to come up in the equitable term
of the District Court September 18th,
after she was, to have been bound over
to the jury term of the District Court
in December. 1t is the general feeling
here that Miss Horlocker will be prop
erly judged insane, and this celebrated
case will thus be brought to a close.

TRANSvAAL GOVERNMENT.
Has Sent It's Reply to Sir Alfred
Miner.

CAPE TOWN, Aug. 20-The Trans
vaal Government, it is reported, has
handed it's reply to the British agent at
Pretoria to be forwarded to Sir Alfred
Milner, British High Commissioner for
South Africa and Governor of Cape
Colony.
Strong feeling has been aroused here
by the fact that the Government is
sending large quantities of war ma
terial for distribution among it's sup
porters in Cape Coloney and the Or
ange Free State. Over seven tons have
been landed at Port Elizabeth on Della
goa Bay and sent over Cape railway
lines to Challwalox for distribution.
The Cape Colony Government COM
plains that it could not prevent their
transport to friendly State, and if
permission had been refused the sup
plies would have been sent to Delagoa
Bay 1t is probable that the matter
will now be referred to the Imperial
Government.

Believed That More Than One Army Can
Operate.
He is Studying Lines of Transpor-
tation and Learning the Geo.
graphy of the Country-When
All the Troops Arrive, Two or
More Armies May Operate From
Different Points to Crush the
Insurgents and Hold the Coun-
try Conquered.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. - The maps
of the Philippines and especially of that
portion of the Island of Luzon north
and south of Manila, which have beer
prepared for the use of Secretary Root
may assume a more important part IN
the coming campaign than has been
given it heretofore. Secretary Root
has not only ascertained where the
United States troops are located and
has them nicely marked on the map
but he has also taken into considera-
ton such information as can be OBJ
tained relative to the population of the
adjacent country, the kind OF people
and their disposition toward the United
States. The Secretary has been study
ing the lines of transportation and
learning what he can of the geography
of the country.
1t is believed that more than one
army can operate to advantage in the
Philippines and the suggestion has been
made by some army officers that an
army should start from different points
and operate in such manner as to dis
tract and destroy the Filipino forces. AT
the present the United States forces do
not occupy the line Of railway half way
to Lingayen, on the Gulf of the same
name.
1t has been suggested that If one
force were to start from Lingayen and
move south at the same time that an
other were moving north there would
be a very great probability of soon Sc
curing the entire railway for the use
of the army and the Insurgents would

west by the railroad as they are now
divided into northern and southern
bands Between Angeles and Lin
gayen is Tarlac, a town of considerable
size and situated in a province where
the natives are said to be unfriendly to
the United States. If this province
could be occupied it might be of great
advantage to the Government.
While these are merely suggegt ions,
it may be that when the army in the
Philippines consists of 10000 men in
stead of about 10000 or 25,0OO, it will
be possible to have four or more armies
operating instead of two, as during the
last campaign. The locations of troops
as marked by pins on the map prepared
for Secretary Root, show the places oc-
cupied as follows:
North of Manila, under General Mac
Arthur, point above Angeles General
wheaton, Angeles, Porac, Calucul, San
ta Rita, San Fernando (MacArthur),
Bats, Canadaba. San Luis, Calumpit,

Until the arrival of the permanent

that a majority of the foreign news
papers have been bribed by the Jewish
syndicate. General Mercier considers
anything he might say explaining his
position, which is that of a majority of
the French people, would be useless.
The best reply to Dreyfusards' state
ments abroad will be the condemnation
of Dreyfus.
This condemnation is only matter
of ten days or a fortnight, for con-
demned Dreyfus certainly will be. For
eigners will then see that their journals
have deceived them, for they will rec
ognize that the mass Of the French ma
ton, which will receive the news Of the

the majority of the French applaud the
condemnation, it will be because it is

The Associated Press correspondent

lives within 200 yards of General Mer-
cier, the houses of both being guarded
by gendarmes and detectives who sit
in chairs in the roadway in front of the

M Labori was taking the air in the

from insomnia and to-day was feverish
and excited The wound has not made
the progress the doctors hoped for, al
though there has been no relapse.
In view of his general condition, his
medical advisers oppose his going to
court tomorrow as he desires. They
predict that the exertion would so over
tax his strength as to compel him to
take to his bed, which he would not
probably leave in that event for a
month.
Tuesday or Wednesday, therefore, will
more probably see his temperance in
court. He will be provided with spe-
cially constructed chair that will enable
him to conduct the cross examination
at the outset without rising from his
seat NJ Labori is intensely anxious
to return to court, even if he has to be
carried there in an ambulance. He is
dissatisfied with NJ. Demange's conduct
of the case thus far and on his return
he intends to have General Mercier ana
the other Generals placed upon the Wit
ness stand After reading the evidence
he is confident of his ability to crush
Mercier and he expects to use the
Schneider and Panizzardi telegrams
also to confound Mercier.
