GOLD DEMOCRATS
 TO HAVE NO TICKET
Resolutions Passed Saying Nom-
 nations Were UnWiSe.
HALDERMAN LEFT MEETING
He Also Withdrew From the Committee and From All Connection With the Organization-Many Ex-
 pressions of Regret

Indianapolis, Ind, July 25.-By unani- nous vote of the national committee of the National Gold Democrats this afternoon the scheme for fusion with the anti-imperial- istic movement originating with the recent mass meeting at tho Plaza Hotel in New York City, was defeated, as was also the plan to place a gold Democratic ticket in the field this year.
 Of the thirty-nne members of the Ma tional Committee there were present nine teen members. Eastern and Western men opposed the proposition, all taking the ground that there had been disaffections and withdrawals from the ranks of the National Democratic party; that the plac- ing of a third ticket in the field this year. with the new issues before the convention, would in no way tend to the accomplish ment of the end and aim of the organiza- tion of the National Democratic party in 1886. It was agreed that those gold Demo- crats who stand today where they stood in the campaign of 1896 on the money question and against "Bryanism' would be left free to vote in support of the Republican plat form, which was unchangeably in favor of "a sound and stable monetary system"
 w. ID. ildlOeIdil, or the Louisville Courier-Journal and member of tho Ma tional Executive Committee, sprang a sen sation by making speech supporting Bryan.
 To most members of the committee this was entirely unexpected MT. Heideman in 1896 contributed valuable aid in actively raising funds for the organization and maintenance of the work of the gold Democracy, and was member of .hc au- diting committee of that party. He stood not three feet away from John F. FrenzeI as he talked, and apparently demanded his attention. While he was talking a hush fell upon the gathering, and when he had concluded he picked his hat from the floor and left the room.
 The withdrawal of Mr. Haldeman from the meeting was understood as a with drawal from the committee and from all connection with the organization. Expres- sions of regret were made by a number present.
 After adopting the following resolution, which Is given in part, the convention ad- journed until 10 a. m. tomorrow:
 Resolved, That in the opinion of this committee the nomination of candidates by the National Democratic party for the of- fees of President and Vice President Is unwise and inexpedient."

INTERSTATE RATES
Southwestern Freight Committee Meets
 to Devise Plan

St. Louis, July 25.-The committee of members appointed by the Southwestern Freight committee to devise a plan for the revision of interstate rates to Texas points met here today and later in the day submitted the report at an adjourned meeting of the general body. The details of the plan were not given out, but it is understood that the revised schedule of interstate rates to points in Texas via Shreveport and Texarkana provides for an equalization of rates between points within the state along the lines of the plan sug- gested by the Texas Railroad Commission,
 A committee was appointed to submit the plan of revision to the members of the Texas Railway Commission at Austin on next Monday. If the plan is approved, as it Is hoped 1t will be, the commission will rescind its order for 20 per cent re- duction on present rates, which does not become effective until August l.

= New Orleans, July 25.-one negro dead, two fatally shot and twelve men seriously wounded is the known result of a mob's desperate work in this city tonight. Three of the wounded are white men who were hit by stray bullets Public feeling has are searching various parts of the city in an effort to apprehend Robert Charles, the negro who shot and killed Police Captain Day and Patrolman Lamb at an early hour Tuesday morning.
 Tonight mob composed of several thous- and persons formed at Lee Circle and marched out St. Charles avenue in a body. It was reported that the mob would march upon the parish prison and demand the ne- gro Pierce who was with Charles when the police officials were killed. The police ac- -cordingly sent strong endorsements to the prison and when the mob made its appear ance its leaders were told that an effort to secure the prisoners would be resisted to the bitter end. Wise counsel prevailed and the members of the throng shortly dis persed Small bands of men and boys were formed and scattered to several parts of the city. Many negroes who were on the streets and riding in cars were fired upon with more or less serious results
 The police board was in session when reports of the marching of the mobs were received and an adjournment was promptly taken so that the officers in attendance might hurry to the scene and put down the disorders. Not since the lynching of the Italians several years ago has there been such general excitement.

EUROPEANS HAVE
 LOST ALL HOPES Believes Messages Sent Are to
 Give China More Time. STILL PREPARING TO FIGHT Reported That an Entire Army Corps is Being Mobilized at Odessa For
 Transport to Taku By Vol unteer Fleet
STILL PREPARING TO FIGHT

London, July 26.-4 a. m.)-Mr. Conger's transmitted to the United States Secretary of Navy through Captain Thomas of the United States cruiser Brooklyn, has in creased the belief in London that there is no hope of the foreign legations in Pekin and that the elaborate fabric of the dis patches which the Chinese are building to persuade the civilized world that the Min isters are still alive is only intended to en- able them to gain time to complete prepa- rations for warfare.
 The Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Mail asserts that Chinaman who was em- ployed at the British legation as writer and interpreter has escaped from Pekin to Nlu Chwang and that he declares that at the time he left Pekin four members of the legations were dead and the condition of the others was hopeless. He says that Sir Robert Hart, director of Chinese imperial maritime customs, died on July 9
 The correspondent goes on to say:
 NO other dates are given in the message from Niu Chwang. The leading Chinese newspaper here published dispatch de- claring that it was all over with the mem- bers of the legations. The president of the minor board at Pekin wrote to a relative In Shanghai under date of July g, saying:
 ' The foreign legations are still uncap- tured, but owing to the daily fighting it is reported that only about 300 persons are left alive in the legations, and if there is any delay in the arrival of the relief force fear that none will be left to receive it."
 Recorded as Authentic
 This letter is regarded in Shanghai as authentic. Strange enough, it says nothing of any assistance to the legations by Prince Ching or General Luig Lu.
 While these bright side lights as to the fate of the Europeans leave little ground for hope, Shanghai sends a batch of re- ports indicative that preparations for hos tilities on the part of the Chinese. It is alleged that the Yang Tse viceroys have sent deputies to Shanghai to induce as to the prospecting of raising foreign loan, ostensibly to pursue military operations against the Boxers, whose movements are extending rapidly southward, with con- stantly growing strength, and have reached a point where the provinces of Shan Tuig Ho Man and Shan Si meet leaving behind it trail of burned missions and murdered Christians.
 Simultaneously there Is movement northward of southern Chinese troops to join the main army gathered to oppose the foreign advance on Pekin. The strength of this principal force is now estimated at $3OO, ,000 men.
 It is believed that another two or three weeks must elapse before the Chinese pre- parations are completed It is reported that 5000 Chinese troops and more guns are being sent to reinforce the garrison of the Kiang Yin forts, commanding the en- trance to the Yang Tse Kiang, ninety miles east of Nanlin.

man Lamb took place this afternoon and served to intensity the feeling of their friends. There was talk this afternoon of mass meeting to be held at Lee Circle, and discuss the killings, but officers were on hand and dispersed the meeting.
 The body of the dead negro is in the morgun, and half a dozen badly battered colored men and women are in the charity hospital Among those badly wounded is Pullman car porter, who had just arrived on his run from Chicago. He was pulled from a street car and shot twice. His re- covery is doubtful.
 It is generally believed that Charles is in hiding in the home of some friendly negro. The greatest vigilance is being exercised to apprehend him, and he will unquestionably be lynched if caught
 At midnight the Mayor issued proclama- tion commanding all good citizens to go to their homes.
 The wounded are as follows:
 Charles Moyle. white, laborer; above the knee.
 John Deeds. white, aged 23 years; both hands.
 Isaac McMahon, white, 15 years; in the thigh.
 Both men were wounded by shots from a mob which fired at negro at the market.
 The negroes shot during the night were Alex Ruffin, George Morris, T. B. Sanders and Dan White. They were pulled out of street cars or pursued on the streets
 The negro who was killed has not been identified and his name Is unknown.
 He was the only person killed tonight.

And break the spell OF this fair dream.

TRIM YOUR LIGHTS.

The police have established the prin-

vehicles and bicycles at night means a
reasonably good light, a light that will
reasonably fulfil the purpose intended
by the law. In the case which the
question was raised the driver of a We
hicle had a light but the evidence was
that it was so dim and small as scarce
ly to be seen. Judge Wilcox decided
that it was not compliance with the
law and reprimanded the defendant.
