VIII Accept a Nomination For
Presidency
WITH JOB HARTMAN
As Running Mate on the Ticket
Put Up
By the Amalgamated Socialists
at indianapolis.

Indianapolis, March 9.-For president
Eugene V. Debs, of Indiana
For vice president-Job Hartman, OF
California
This is the national ticket OF the
Social Democratic party which will alb
sorb the Hilquit-H Hartman faction OF
the Socialist-Labor party, by agree
ment. The Social Democrats were happy
today. They say the candidacy OF Debs
wiH attract hundreds of thousands OF
voters to their party. They profess to
see the beginning Of a great national
victory. The convention in ogreeing to
unite with the Socialist Labor faction,
retains the party name-Social Demo-
amalgamation are to be approved by
majority of each party, according to
the referendum.
Mr.. Debs had previously refused to
accept the nomination but finally sue
cumbed to persuasion. 1t seems from
the explanations of friends that DeoS
has been applying his earnings to the
extinction of a debt against the AIneri-
can Railway union ana that he did not
want to cease until the debt was paid
The debt amounted to several thousand
dollars. Debs received assurances that
the debt would be taken care of and
that he would receive a rest of three
months before entering the presidential
canvass.
At this mornings session of the con-
vention the nominations OF DebS ana

London, March 9.-5:42 p. m.-The
Ameer of Afghanistan has authorized
his agent in London to publish the fol-
lowing statement of the policy of
Afghanistan edwards Great Britain and
Russia. After saying that he had de-
voted much anxious thought to the pos
sibility of Russia taking advantage Of
the Transvaal to advance through
Afghanistan on India, his highness
adds:
Il have come to the conclusion that
Russia feared Afghanistan, as a war
with the Afghans would mean a general
rising of all Islam, which would spread
through Russian Asia. Russia had not
troops enough to combat such a rising.
Her hold on the Mussulman countries
she has conquered is insecure. They
hate her, and with ten times her power,
Russia could not fight Afghan and
India successfully. The Afghans prefer
death to slavery and their women and
children being taken by the Russians
After saying he is willing to send
numerous troops to help Great Britain
in the Transvaa1 but adding that the
Afghans are unacctEstomed to the sea,
the Ameer adds.
But England's troubles are always
my troubles, her strength is my strength
and her weakness is my weakness. Eng
land must remember that 1 am always
ready to fight for her on land, here or
in India"

BIG RAILROAD MEETING.
Officials of Western Roads Will Con
fer in Chicago Monday.

Chicago, March 9.-The Times Herald
says: Probably the most important
meeting of railway officials held here
since the meeting in January, when lines
east and west running from Chicago
adopted the resolution providing for the
carrying out of the presidents agree
ment to cease the payment of commits
sions to third parties, will be held next
Monday Orders for the call were re-
ceived yesterday and notice was imme-
diately sent out all lines west of Chi
cago by the Western Passenger associ-
alton. This includes every road from
the Ohio river to the Pacific coast and
from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada 1t
also includes the Canadian Pacific rail
road, the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern roads.
No particulars of the object of the
meeting could be learned because the
presidents and general passenger agents
of nearly every western road are in
New York. That important topics will
be taken up and ratified, in line with
action already taken by the presidents
in New 7 York, there is no question.
simultaneously with the call for the
meeting announcement was made that
the Great Northern had decided to
withdraw the $25 co1onist rate from ST.
Paul to North Pacific coast points and
that rates would be restored to normal
tariff by all gateWayS.

CAGES PLANS
For Carrying Into Effect the
New Financial Bill.

Washington, March 9.-At the cabinet
meeting today Secretary Gage outlined
his plan for carrying into effect the
new financial bill which it is expected
will pass the house next Tuesday and
be approved by the president. The sec
retary explains that in all probability
from 35 to 45 per cent of the outstanding
bonds under the new law will be pre-
Sented for exchange in a. comparatively
short time. This would involve cash
payments as premiums to the holders
of the old bonds amounting to from $780,
600, 900 to $35, 900, 0G0 A question which
has occupied the attention of the Secre-
tary of late is whether this
amount should be taken from the funds
now in the treasury or from the gov
ernment deposits with depository banks,
or whether a part should be taken from
the treasury and a part from the banks.
Attention was called to the fact that
even if considerable sums were drawn
from the depository banks in these set
Elements it would only amount to a
transfer from one bank to another or
from the credit of the government to
the credit of the party Surrendering to
bonds in the same bank. Therefore the
total amount of money held by the
banks would not be materially changed.
In the determination of this question
much will depend upon the rapidity
with which old bonds are presented for
exchange and also upon whether the
their present mark.
The secretary's purpose, as stated to
the cabinet, is to create as little finan-
cial disturbance as possible in the set
tlement of premium accounts. If the
treasury receipts continue large and
the applications for exchange of old
bonds for new is not excessively heavy
at the outset, it is altogether probable
that a considerable share of the prem
iums will be taken from the treasury
but should there be a rush for the ex-
change of bonds, it is quite likely that
the banks would be called upon to share
in the payments. On the other hand
the secretary Dies not propose that the
present available cash balance in the
treasury which now amounts to about
$500, 100000 including the $100, 600 gold
reserve shall be largely encroached
upon.
The question therefore whether the
cash to be paid as premiums shall come
from the treasury, the depository banks
or both, depends for it's solution largely
upon conditions which can not now be
foretold. The new bonds will be dated
be paid on the old bonds will be cal
culated from that date, the rate in all
cases being the same, which, according
to the terms of the new act, is such as
shall yield a return of "a per cent per
annum. These details were fully ex-
planned to the cabinet and the plans
and purposes of the secretary met with
general approval.

BULLS WOULDN'T FIGHT.
Disguised Mexican Audience Sets Fire
to the Ring.

Chicago, March "a special to the
Record from Austin. Texas, says:
A desperate riot which came near re-
sulting in the lynching of several bull
fighters took place at San Luis Potosi,
Mexico. The affair is described in a
letter received here today as follows:
"The bull fight of Sunday afternoon,
under the leadership of Jose Marrero,
of Havana, with seven assistants.
proved a failure. Five arrogant and
valiant bulls had been promised. The
first bull led out put up little show of
resistance and was killed, but not one
of the others would fight at ALL The
audience began to hiss and groan and
threw oranges, lemons and stones into
the ring. Finally the disappointed au-
dience tossed the chairs. benches and
hand rai1rings into the ring and then
set fire to the pile. This stopped the
performance. But even this exhibition
of ire did not satisfy the belligerents,
who laid violent hands on the bull
fighters and were in the act of lynch
ing them when the police interfered."
