1eEe 1t Is Proposed to Unite on One
Candidate Probably Stevenson.
Kansas City, July 7.-Practical fusion
between the Populist and Democratic par
ties on abe presidential tickets has been
decided upon by the Populist National
Committee. Unless present plans are
changed, however. the Democratic vice
presidential candidate will not be indors-
ed. whether or not Charles A. Towne de-
cides to withdraw his name as the can
didatc Of the Populist party, as this. 1t
is feared, would result in a large defiec-
tion 10 the Middle of the Road Populists
In case Mr. Towne decides to withdraw
his name as the vice presidential caudi-
date of the Populist party, the National
Committee will select another candidate
he sentiment apparently is against the
Endorsement of Mr.. Stevenson on account
of the peculiar conditions existing In sew
eral Western states, notably Kansas, Nc
braska and South Dakota. where the
Populist vote is larger than the
Democratic. where the Populist leaders
fear the straight Endorsement of the Dem
ocratic ticket would Jeopardize the sue
cess of the ticket.
But the parties will work together in
this way: In the states where the Popu-
list strength is the greater, the under
standing will be that the electors on both
tickets will favor Bryan and Towne. This
will apply especially to the Western
states. In the Eastern states and other
sections, where the Populists admit their
party is distasteful to the Democrats, the
electoral tickets will be for Bryan and
Stevenson.
In the electoral college, according to the
general plan as outlined, 1t is the intention
to unite the vote probably on Mr.. Steven
son.

ceptiOn to British Troops.

London. July THE war office to-day
issued the following dispatch from Lord
Roberts:
Pretoria, July Cen. Butler arrived
this morning. He looked very well, and
Is apparently none the worse for the hard
work he has gone through during the
past eight months.
The inhabitants of Potchefstroom are
much interested in hospital accommoda-
tions for the British troops. A concert
there realized $40 5000. which was handed
over to the medical officer In charge for
the Krugersdorp station. The managers
of some OF the local mines have placed
several houses at the disposition of the
medical officers in charge. and a large hall
has been set apart as reading room for
the troops
Another dispatch has been received by
the war Office from Lord Roberts as fol-
lows:

Lord Roberts also transmits the follow
ing:

AN AMICABLE AGREEMENT
Finally Reached by the Parties on
the Plan of Campaign.

Kansas City, July THE Conference
Committees from the Silver Republicans,
the Democrats and the Populists, in ses-
sion last night, finally came to an AMIGA
bic agreement ON a plan OF campaign,
whereby political work will be run on
lines entirely harmonious to the declara-
ton of the Democratic Convention. Their
An Advisory Committee OF three members
from each of the parties was appointed,
and this committee wherever possible,
will work to effect fusion on state and
congressional tickets.
The Silver Republican National Commit
tee, in session Immediately after the close
of the conference, voted unanimously to
place Adlai e. Stevenson in nomina tion
fer Vice President, and TO cooperate IN
every way with the Democratic party for
the success of the ticket
The Populist Committee met at the Ly-
ceum and did not adjourn until o'clock
this morning. The debate over the result
of the conference covered wide range on
account of the peculiar conditions existing
In some of the Western states, as viewed
from a Populist standpoint. Several of the
members advocated requesting Mr.. Towne
to withdrawn in the interest of the prin-
ciples which they all advocate and for
the sake of insuring harmony and con-
certed action, thus allowing the indorse-
ment of Mr.. Stevenson. This course was
strongly opposed by the more radical
members of the, committee, who insisted
that the party retain its integrity II was
finally decided to take no action until Mr
Towne shall have had a conference with
Mr.. Bryan.

MET DEATH AT A FIRE.
-Four Men Killed and Six Injured at
PittRburK.

Pittsburg. Pa, July 7.-Pittsburg's down
town section was visited by another fire
to-day, the second within. week. As a
result. four men are dead and six others
are in hospitals. suffering from injuries
which may prove fatal. All of the VIC
tins were hremen.
The dead: John Griffin, St. Clair Craw-
ford, both of Engine Company No. 4; Max
Butterbaugh, John Lewis, both of Engine
Company No. II.
The fire originated in the basement of
T. G.. Evans & Co.'S china and glassware
establishment on Fifth avenue. The cause
is supposed to have been a spark from
steam roller at work on the asphalt street
in front of the store falling through a
basement ventllator into box OF excel
sior. The dense smoke from the burning
excelsior and other material used In pack
ing chinaware. baffied the firemen for
long time. Before the men could get fair
~ at the fire, It broke out in the rear, and
the building was soon at the mercy of
the flames.
At about $50 p. m, when all danger
seemed to have passed, ten members OF
engine companies 4 and II were working
on the second floor. knee deep In water.
The weight OF the water. with the already

made by the remaining fremen TO rescue

to release them.

MEN OF THREE PARTIES.
Met and Discussed the Outlook for
Bryan and Stevenson.

Kansas City, July THE Democratic
National Committee resumed its session
to-day at the Kansas City Club. The rep
resentatives of the Populists and Silver
Republicans attended the meeting.
Nearly every state in which the Popu-
lists and Silver Republicans have strength
enough to carry it for the Democracy was
pledged to Bryan and Stevenson. The ex-
ceptons were Nebraska, Kansas and
South Dakota, the representatives of these
states saying they thought it extremely
doubtful whether they could be carried
for Bryan unless a Populist should re-
main in the field At the same time, they
claimed they did not care to sacrifice Mr..
Towne and force him to become a Watson
even on smaller scale.
The Silver Republicans and Populists
representing the three states named did
not talk very encouragingly. They said
Populists and Silver Republicans might
TO the same extent vote the Republican
ticket, while other Populists who had
heretofore acted with the regular organiza-
ton would go over to the Middle-of- the
Road ticket nominated at Cincinnati.
Stress was laid upon the danger of los
ing four senators in three states. The
Silver Republicans said there would be
no doubt about carrying the mountain
Pacific coast.
The matter of running a third ticket
probably will be determined after a con-
ference of the leaders at Lincoln, as 1t
is understood many will meet Mr.. Bryan
there on Monday.
Acting Chairman Edmiston, Gen James
B. Weaver and Thomas Patterson spoke
for the Populisis, while Chairman Tillot-
son, ex-senator Dubois and Representa-
tive Shafroth spoke for the Silver Re-
publicans. All of the Silver Republicans
pledged their hearty support to the Bryan
and Stevenson ticket, and the Populists
said they were earnestly in favor of the
election of Bryan, but pointed out the
difficulty of indorsing this ticket by the
Populist committee without being placed
in the position of dictators of the party
something that the Populists Of Kansas,
Nebraska and South Dakota would not
stand.
The Silver Republicans presented the
names of Chairman Tillotson, Senator
Teller and ex-senator Dubois for repre-
sentation on the Democratic Executive
Committee The Populists did not pre-
sent any names for this committee, say
ing that until they could confer with the
leaders in the various states, they would
take no action.
1t was determined that addresses In
favor or che Bryan ana stevenson ticket
should he issued soon by the Democratic
and Silver Republican parties. TO be fol-
lowed later by an address from the Pop
ulist party when 1t is ready to act.
Chairman Jones said everything Is
working toward harmonious action by all
OF the reform" forces, and that indica-
tions are that all parties will be pulling
together for the Bryan and Stevenson
ticket
At 1890 p. m. the committee ajourned

for Lincoln this afternoon to confer with
Mr.. Bryan.

MORE THAN O,OOO REGULARS
Will he Dispatched at Once for
China or the Philippines.

Washington, July 7.-As a result of a
thorough consideration of the subject by
the Secretary of War. Lieut. Gen. Miles and
Adjt. Gen. Corbin, orders were issued by
the war department this afternoon for the
dispatch of 6,254 regular troops to the
Philippines with view to their utilization
in China. The force is made up of two
battalions each of the Fifteenth, Second,
Fifth and Eighth Infantry, two squad
rons each of the First and Ninth Cavalry,
one squadron of the Third Cavalry and a
company of engineers
These troops will be forwarded as rapid
ly as possible and as soon as transporta-
ton arrangements can be perfected.
the entire fleet OF transports at San Fran
cisco and New York will be employed in
the work.
The issue of the formal orders for the
dispatch to the east of more than 5000
troops from the army posts in the United
States is a manifeston of the energy with
which the government is now about to act
in the Chinese matter. True. these troops
are nomlnally destined for the Philip
pines to replace the volunteers now there,
but it is admitted that they are being sent
out by a route that will easily admit OF
DETECTION to Taku or some other conven-
lent Chinese port.
When these troops are landed in China,
together with the Ninth Infantry, sup cosed
to be now at Taku and the marine and
naval contingent, the United States will
have a force in action commensurate with
our interests, and in proportion to the
European forces. Japan is to begin the
movement on Pekin according to to-day g
advices, with the full consent of the Pow
ers, and it Is calculated that the foreign
reinforcements, including our own, will
arrive in China, if they are landed at all,
in season to finish the work that may be
left by the japanese.
The orders of to-day 10 the troops will,
it is believed at the State Department.
have an indirect but most important eff
feet on the situation as a whole in China.
Once the great viceroys in China, south
ern and central, become satisfied that the
foreign legions are actually coming In
force, they may be counted upon to take
the warning to themselves and continue
to observe neutrality at least. Evident
ly Consul General Goodnows suggestion
yesterday has had its effect for he point
ed out himself the beneficial effect that
the addition of troops to the soldiers now
in China would have.

tied at a conference that will be had at
his home tomorrow with Charles A.
Towne and other Democratic and Popu-
list leaders. Mr.. Towne was expected to
reach Lincoln this evening. but up to a
late hour, he had not arrived. With
him are George Fred williams OF Massa-
chusetts, and Willis S. Abbott. 1t is
thought Mr.. Towne will remain until

Mr.. Bryan was very much provoked TO
read to-day fictitious interview with his
15-year-old daughter, Ruth. who was at
tending the convention at Kansas City
The purported interview is lengthy one
and covers persons and public questions
MIR. Bryan said that occasionally he was
misrepresented himself, as other public
men ore, but he thought the children
ought 10 be spared. The interview, Mr.
Bryan said, was entirely without founda-
tion.

Following the Montana delegation,
which formed the advance guard of those
