THE POPULlSTS ARE HOPEFUL
THINK THEY SEE A CHANCE IN THE
FUTURE WORTH STRIVING FOR.
No Hope OF Success Now, hut Ticket
Was Nominated In order 10
Keep MP the Organization.

Waco, Texas, July 25.--The populist
convention which adjourned last night at
the close of a busy and enthusiastic days
work, was a surprise to everybody, even
to the members themselves, Nobody
dreamed that they could muster 250 dele
gates to a Stpte convention after whist
has happened to that party, but they did
and they were as enthusiastic set OF men
as ever met on political mission. From
the first tap of the gayel yesterday morn
ing till sine die adjournment last night
at midnight, tha enthusiasm never abated
in the least They seemed really to think
there is a chance for hem to win some
thing.
But populiste are noted for noisy en-
thusiasm whether they have hopes of win
ming or not, and perhaps they think that
is the best way 10 win converts Just
what specific purpose they have in view
in launching gubernatoral ticket a
this time does not appear in any of Their
deliberations here. OF course, they can
not entertain any hope of victory not
wlthstanding their pretended confidence
in the result. They mast know that they
are not so strong as they were when
Judge Nugent was their standard bearer
and he lacked many thousand votes Of
winning with the democrats divided aad
two tickets in the field The democra s
now are united and stronger perhaps than
ever before in this Stue and it would
appear to be the height Of folly for the
popuists, themselves rent BY factionai
strife TO undertake a campaign.
they have q DlirpOsp--nOt clearly de
fined perhaps, hut in process OF incuba-
tiou. The fusion element came near wip-
ing out the organization. The rally to
Bryan has cost the third party its brain
est leaders and its etaunehest supporters
The most the middle of the readers could
hope for since 1896 was the preservation
OF an organization and this they believe
can bettor be done by determined 6gh,
all along the line. They see a possibility
of fractional strife in the democratic par y
in Texas two years hence and In the Ma

Washington, March 1.-The resolu. tion adopted by the senate calling for . complete record of the court-martial which tried Adjt.-Gen.

.Reubens' Famons Picture Seized aD New York by Treasury Agents
 for Undcrvaluati0n.

New York, March TIA special in- spector of the customhouse and a spe- cial agent of the treasury have selzsd Reubens' famous picture. "The Holy Family" at the gallery of Fifth ave nue dealer. The painting was entered at the local customhouse, on Decem- Der 17 last, by Eugene FichofR. an art dealer. It was valued at $25,O0O, and was passed by the United States ap- praiser, and duty was paid on tho fixed valuation. It has been nscer- tained that the painting was under valued some $20,O0O, having been sold at executor's sale of the estate of Sir Cecil Miles, bart. in London, last May, for R8,715, or about $43,0OO. The seiz- ure was ordered because of this al- legged undervaluation. The case will bo resubmitted to the United States gem eral appraisers, and should they order . 5O per cent. increase on the original valuation, the picture will, under tho law, become an absolute forfeiture to the United States government.

DIR. BoRNE's INFLUENZA CURE.
A French Physiclan Gives the World the Nenefit of Careful and Suc-
 cessful Experiment..

London, March 6.--After having nearly recovered from its usual epi- demic of influenza, London receives from Paris safe cure for the com plaint. The discoverer is Dr. Borne, deputy for Doubs, who cured NJ. Wal deck-Roussean in three days, and was also successful with President Loubet brother deputies.
 :! Dr. Borne's remedy is as follows: As soon as one feels the influenza one should have the two following pre- scriptions made up: Firstly, chloro- form water, ? ounces; water, ? ounces; magnesia, drachms; salol, IS grains; betol, 15 grains; antifebrin, IS grains; lsirup of orange flowers, 1 ounce. This must be we'll shaken and tablespoon lful taken every fifteen or twenty min Iutes during the first day. On the fol. lowing days one should take two each cts on rising in the morning and twe on going to bed at night, composed as follows: Magnesia, 2H drachms; be- ,tol, 75 grains; salol, 45 grains; tcrpine. As grains, for twenty cachets.
 !. Dr. Borne says his principle is that all the digestive and respiratory tubes should be disinfected. He had experi. mented with all the antiseptics capa' ble of combination, and had eventually arrived at the kinds and doses given in the prescriptions. Of course, the } doses were modified according to the
 age and condition of the patient.

Bates expedition to southern Luzon. consisting of the Fortieth and Forty- n1th regiments, total of 2,3OO men. mas occupied Nueva Caceres, province of South Camarines; Daet, province of North Camarines, and the peiphboripv smaller towns. The enemy resisted at one point, and two Americans were killed, including Lieut.. John B. Galle- her, of the Forticth regiment.
 On February 20, the expedition ar- rived at San Miguel bay, landed, and in three columns immediately pushed inland, converging upon Nueva Ca. leres, and attempting to control the enemy's routes of retreat.
 At Jibmanan, north of Nueva Ca- ceres, the enemy was concealed in n rice field, and resisted battalion of the Fortieth regiment which engaged them at close quarters with bayonets. After 40 minutes fighting the enemy fled, and Libmanan was occupied.
 The Americans buried 64 of the ene- my, whose total loss in killed and wounded is estimated at 14O.
 From Libmanan the expedition pro. ceeded to Neuva Caceres, the gunboat Paraguay arriving ten minutes ahead of the troops. The town was found practically deserted. The Americans, daily scouting in the vicinity, report that the enemy have retreated into the mountains.
 The insurgents around Legaspi and Albay,. province of South Camarines, are harrassing the Americans nightly. Foreigners doing business at Legaspi are living on ships in the harbor or in the American barracks.
