quarters.
Bryan win Only Visit Large
Cities This Year.


Lincoln, Neb., July 9.-Plans for the
national Democratic campaign Of 1900
were outlined and practically agreed up
on today at q protracted conference be-
tween the leaders of the party. The plan
includes the appointment of a campaign
committee consisting of representatives
Of the Democratic, Silver Republican and
Populist parties, and perhaps also Demo
Gratis not members OF the national COM
mittee, but prominent in the councils.
This committee win have charge of the
practical working of the campaign and
viii work for fusion on state and con-
gressiona1 tickets.
The press and executive committee, it
is expected, win, with one or two excep-
tions, be the same as last year. The per-
sonnel Of all the committees was left IN
the hands OF Chairman Jones as we'll as
the question of national headquarters. It
was stated that Chicago would probably
be selected Mr.. Bryan said today that
he had made no plans as to the part he
would take in the campaign. The subject
was discussed at the meeting, as well as
the amount of campaign work to be done
By Mr.. Stevenson. This feature will not
be fully decided on until after the formal
notification OF their nomination has been
given. Committeeman johnson of Kan
sas, however, stated after the meeting
that Mr.. Bryan VIII not tour the country
as he did in 1896, but viii make trips to
the larger cities, remaining in Lincoln a
great deal Of the time.
Mr.. Towne may not announce his de-
clsion in regard to the Vice Presidency
for several days, although several Popu
list leaders IN the city stated today that
he might announce his Withdrawal to the
Popuhst executive committee tomorrow.
Democratic leaders, however, state that
the whole question has been postp poned
until after the Middle-of-the-Road State
popanst convention to be held at Grand
Island, Neb., July 20. The attitude taken
by that wing Of the Populists and the
strength developed by them, will be close
" observed. Should no serious detection
from the regular PopuIists on account Of
Mr.. Towne's defeat in the Democratic
convention be noticed, conference with
the Populist leaders viii then be held, at
which time, it is expected, Mr.. Towne's
withdrawal win be announced.
A number OF changes are expected in
the ways and means committee. True L.
Norris of New Hampshire, will, it IS
stated, take the place Of Alexander Troup
on the press, and Norman E. Mack, the
place of Frank Campbell on the executive
committee.

Niagara Falls, July 9.-Peter Nissen of
Chicago, or Mr.. Bowser, as he styles
himself, went through the whirlpool raps
ids OF the Niagara river this afternoon In
the presence of about 10000 persons, in
his craft the Fool Killer IKE boat was
towed to a rock about one mile above the
rapids. At 81 the start down stream
was actually commenced. The tickle
eddies, however, kept thesFool Killer
drifting about until 4.5O, when she got
into the whirlpool current and started
for the final plunge The crowd then saw
the craft rise on the crest OF a smooth
wave and then sail like fish
hawk into the leaping spray and disap-
pear. She soon shot up again, rolling and
plunging until she passed bend in the
river. The buoyant craft kept on the
crest of the waves until submerged
again on the verge of the whirlpool.
Shooting into the whirlpool the Fool
Killer swung around and went down like
a fishing bob but arose again quickly.
Shortly before O'Clock the Fool killer
was carried out to the edge of the rapids
and line was thrown by Bowser to men
on shore, who hauled him in. His first

TO TAX CUBAN ESTATES.
Important Order Issued
by Gen. Wood.
Owners Must Work Estates or Sell
Out.
Order -Pleases Leading
Natives on Island.
GOy. BetancOurt's Hopes As to
University.

Havana, July 9.-General Wood viii
issue tomorrow an important order.on the
recommendation of the secretary of
finance with regard to the power of mu-
inequalities concerning the taxation of
rural estates. It is intended particularly
to prevent injustice to those whose estates
have been ruined during the war. The
most important feature of the order con-
fers the right OF taxation OF estates which
were not destroyed and have not been
worked. There are many estates such as
these in Cuba, the owners of which have
been retarding the prosperity of the ISL
and by refusing to work their plantations
until some definite form of government
has been decided on. Many of these own
ers who are mostly Spaniards, but include
a few Americans, Will now be compelled
either to pay for keeping their estates
in idleness or work or sell them.
Civil Governor Betancourt of Matanzas
called upon General Wood today and ex-
pressed his appreciation Of the steps the
governor has taken towards giving the
Cubans Independence and also of his atti-
tude in endeavoring to lift up Cuban
public life. He mentioned particularly
the reorganization of the Havana univer-
sity and said he hoped that in the future
it would be university in fact as well
as in name and that its professors would
be chosen rather for their fitness than
because of their relation to politicians.

answered for itself. The powers are not
in a hurry to formulate more remote
plan of political action in China, as the
first thing necessary is the relief OF
Pekin."
Lu Hair Houan, the Chinese minister
to Germany, told a representative of the
Associated Press that he had received to-
day Il despatch from III Hung Chang,
dated July z, saying;
