DENVER, Col, Sept. 13-Fusion of the
Democl attic, Silver Republican and Pop
ulistic parties was accomplished at 3:45
o'clock this morning, when the Demo
cratic state convention adjourned, after
being in continuous session since clock
yesterday. The following ticket was Sc
lected:
Congressman, First district, John F.
Shaft 9th, Silver Republican; Second dis
trict, John c. Bell, Populist; governor,
James B. Orman, Pueblo county, Demo-

lican; attorney general, c. c. Post, Clear
Creek county, Populist; auditor, G. w.
Crouter, Weld county, Democrat.
After the ticket had been ratified by all
the conventions, the Democratic conven-
ton reconsidered the ratification of the
nomination of Calderwood for lieutenant
governor and referred the case TO the
state central committee. Gov. Thomas
claimed that Calderwood, who is a prom
inent labor leader, is Objectionable.
AS a result of the objection raised in
the Democratic convention to John Cal
derwood, who was nominated yesterday
by the Populist state convention for lieu
tenant governor under the fusion agree
ment, another session of the convention
was held today to consider the matter.
Mr.. Calderwood rendered his withdrawal
from the ticket, which was accepted, and
David G. Coates, of Pueblo, president of
the State Federation of Labor, and editor
Of the Pueblo Courier, the official organ

To the People of Minnesota: The ap-
Dalling disaster that has befallen the
people of Galveston and other cities in
Texas has prompted the governor to take
action for their relief. In furtherance
Of this he has appointed the following
committee to receive subscriptions:
Messrs Samuel Hill. James Gray and
George H. Partridge, Of Minneapolis: ::
Frank B. Kellogg, E. A. Young and Ru-
dolph Schiffmann, of ST. Paul; George F.
Leland, OF Duluth; J. G. Armson, of Still

Currier, Of Mankato. This committee
having met and organized by the election
of DR.. Rudolph Schiffmann, of ST. Paul
as chairman; ]. o. E.iel, of Minneapolis
as treasurer, and H. p. Hall, of ST. Paul.
as secretary, sends this appeal to the
people Of Minnesota.
In order that as prompt assistance may
be given as possible, your committee in
vites subscriptions, either by Individuals
through local organizations, commercial
clubs, or municipal bodies Your commit
tee has appointed the mayor or chief pre-
siding officer of the municipal organiza-
ton of each city and village in the state
as committee to solicit and forward
SUBSCRIPTIONS The organization of other
relief societies is invited. We suggest
that only money be contributed until the
governor of Texas can be conferred with

what supplies are needed. If Other. sup
plies can be utilized later on, the public
will be promptly advised
Contributions will be credited to the in
dividual, association or community for

ies3 have gener eHsly offered to forward
any money to the committee free 4of
charge. Local committees, individuals
and communities may therefore forward

sofa do, the generous assistance that the

KILLED BY A STREET CAR
WIFE OF REV. ELWoOD HANSON.
OF MINNEAPOLIS, MEETS
HORRIBLE DEATH
BODY TERRIBLY MANG1ED
She Was Trying to Catch the
Car and Fell While
Crossing the
Tracks.


Mrs. Mary Hanson, wife of Rev. El-
wood Hanson, minister in the Friends
church, residing at 2S01 Second street
north, was run down by an fnterurban
car at Washington avenue southeast and
Walnut, early last evening, and instant
ly killed. The body was terribly man
gled.
Mrs. Hanson had for some time past
been washing for families in this secti n
of the city. She was yesterday employed
at the residence of w. j. Newton, a mail
carrier, Cos Oak street, and left Tor home
about 6 o'clock in the evening. She
walked down to Walnut street, evidently
intending to take car there She had
crossed Walnut street, when the car was
about 100 feet from the crossing. Tie
woman crossed the street diagona .lv. and
Motorman A. Axelson says that her ac-
t1ons were such that he was unable to
conjecture just what her intentions were
He rang the gong incessantly, and as ii e
car was in the middle of Walnut s.r5 ct
the woman started to run across the
tracks to the side of the street where the
car would stop. Tt is not known in what
manner it harpeEed, but it Is believed
that she was tripped by stepping on her
skirt, as she fell across the tracks. The
motorman Immediately set the brakes.
although then but few feet from the
prestrate body. The car gave a great
lurch, but its momentum was too goeat,
and the front wheels passed over the
body. The car was stopped, however, be-
fore the rear wheels reached the body.
The body was picked up in a terrfs1y
mangled condition, and removed to the
premises of DR.. George D. Head, 300 wal.
nut street, and later taken to the county
morgue. The woman laid in such a po
sitfon that the right shoulder was stru.k
first. For some feet the boiv vaa
dragged by the trucks, but being badlv
crushed the while. The wheels passed
over her. from the shoulder to the left
limb.
1t was the general consensus of opin-
ion among the passengers or. the car thai
the nlotorman did everything in his
power >to avert the accident, and ttat
no blame can be attached to him. He
has been in the employ of the company
a. long time, and this is his first accident.
The remains were first identified by ].

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 13.-The Rus

Great Britain to follow. 1t is explained,
however, that Russia recognizes the i'm
possibility of the allies leaving Pekin.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-The crisis
that was near at hand yesterday over
the evacuation proposal of the Russian
government has been averted for time
at least and the diplomatic side of the
matter has become again the object of
attention. The order to Gen. Chaffee to
IeaVe at once, which was expected In
some quarters, did not issue today. In
stead, earnest efforts are making To ar.
range the preliminaries for the negotfa-
tlons which are expected finally to settle
the Cnlnese troubles. Ii Hung Chang's
message today removed perhaps the last
eOstacIe to the speedy beginning to these
negotiations; and the only doubt that
now exists is as to his ability to redeem
his Pledge to protect American interests
and stop the outrages upon the mission
aries and native converts If he can do
this, and thus manifest the exisrenee of
de facto government, there is no reason
70 doubt that negotiations will be imme-
