Stevenson.

Kansas City, July 7.-Practical fu-
sion between the populist and demo-
cratic parties on the presidential .ticket
has been decided upon by the populist
national committee. Unless the present
plans are changed the democratic vice
presidential candidate will not be en-
dorsed. whether or not Towne decides
to withdraw his name as the candidate
Of the populist party. as this, 1t is
feared, would result in large defec-t
ton to the middle of-the-road popu-
lists. TOwnes leaves for Lincoln tonight
at the invitation of Bryan. The whole
situation Will be thoroughly discussed,
and upon Bryan's views on the matter
will depnd In a large measure Towne's
decision regarding the vice presidency.
He will not announce his decision until
after the conference with other leaders
in both the dmocrat and populist par
| ties. In case Towne decides to with
draw his name as the candidate for the
vice presidency OF the populist party
1.-The national committee will select an
l3other candidate Sentiment is appar-
entity against the endorsement Of Stew.
enson, on account OF the peculiar cc,idi-i
tions existing in several western states.
where the populist vote is larger than
4 the democratic and where the populist
Headers fear straight endorsement Of
the democratic ticket would jeopardize
4 the success OF the ticket. But the par
lties will work together IN this way: In
4 the western states where the populist
strength is greater. the understanding
/ will be that the electors on both tickets
will favor Bryan and Towne. In the
eastern states and otner sections where
the populists admit their party is dis
tasteful to the democrats the electoral
votes will be for Bryan and Stevenson.
In the electoral college. according to
4 the general plan as outlined, 1t is the
intention to unite the vote. probably on

the Philippines to China was the prin-i

must get large force into China at
once. The circumstances will not per-
nit the delay of two months necessary

There seems no alternative but that
Gen. Macarthur will be ordered to send
reinforcements from Manila.
The failure Of the declaration OF pol
Icy in China issued by Secretary Hay
to bring responses from the European
governments ix complicating the situa
tion so far as the United States is cons
cerned. 1t had been expected that the
governments approached would
promptly acquiesce in the disinterested
policy adopted by this government and
signify their intention to follow a sim-
liar course. Their silence, however, is
light and as indicating that they intend
to remain unpledged concerning the
dismemberment OF the Chinese empire.
This is taken to mean that after peace
is restored they will insist upon the
acquisition OF territory, a policy the
United States opposes.
1t cannot be safely predicted at this
time what complications might arise
out Of an attempt to partition China.
1t is not believed, however. that the
United States In its eagerness to pre-
serve the empire intact would go to the
extent of making war against any of
the European nations. "A serious weak
ness in the opposition which the inter-
national forces are trying to make is
the jealousy that prevails, and espe-
cially between Russia and Japan.

efforts to reach an agreement between

The trial bids fair to be considerably
shortened by reason of NJ. Mamontoff's s

Stock Company of this city, Disappeared
from his home here on June 5. Two days

man was found in the woods in Anne

body is that of Marshall, and that he
was murdered.

had been eaten by buzzards. a wom-

to which he is supposed to have hanged
himself no thicker than human finger.
Around the jaws. which We're detached
