LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 20.-The next ma

be held in Sioux Falls. s. D.. on May 8.
Representation Is based on the vote for
General ]. B. Weaver for President in 1892

be the basis. Two delegates at large are
given each State. This was the decision
reached in a somewhat extended but har-
monious meeting of the fusion wing of the
national committee which concluded short
iy after 1 o'clock this afternoon. The fea-
ture Of the meeting was the unanimity
with which the members accepted and in
dorsed the declaration of Senator Allen,
OF Nebraska, that William j. Bryan would
be the candidate of both the Populist and
Democratic parties. and the coupling with
his name of that Of Judge Henry Cald-
well, of Arkansas, as the logical and most
promising vice presidential possibility.
Senator Allen went so far as to say that
he had positive knowledge that If Judge
Caldwell were nominated by the Populists
as Mr.. Bryan's mate, he would be accept

tional ticket would be Bryan and Cald-

Later on the Boer commander ventured
en- bold stroke. Leaving 1000 of his men
under cover he withdrew the rest from his
main position and headed for Kip Kraal
drift, six miles to the east. This movement
was soon discovered. Our mounted infan-
try came back across the drift and
marched along the south bank to endeavor
to head off the enemy. When they reached
the neighborhood of Kip Kraal drift night
had fallen and half the Beers were already
across to the south side. Our mounted in
fantry harassed their movements.
Meanwhile the Boer rear guard, having
covered the crossing of the main body. re-
tired slowly and successfully passed the
drift. The rear guard fought desperately.
and as it fell back to the river it was
harassed on the flank and rear by the Brit
ish.
Having thus passed the Modder under
cover of darkness. the Beers trekked
throughout the night in the direction of
Bloemfontein. General Kelly-Kenny, with
the Sixth Division, pursued them at day
light, General Macdonald, with the High

Kip Kraal drift by forced marches on Sun
