Memphis, Tenn, May S.-The festiv-

many southern states crowded the
city. The decorations in the business
district are most elaborate. Admiral

BITTERLY OPPOSE FUSION.
Observation-Disclosures Mt Cincinnati OPP
posed to Everything Which Smacks of
Compromise with Old Parties.

Cincinnati, May 8.-The national
conference of the middle-of-the-road
populists meets here Wednesday af-
ternoon. The National Reform Press
association which is auxiliary to the
middle-of-the-roader met here Mon
day. The Wehrman building and
Robinson's opera house have been
decorated deliberately with middle-of-
the-road notices, placards, ETC., ex-
pressive of sentiments against all other
parties and especially against those
who formerly affiliated with the peo-
pies party and are now favoring fu-
sion again. Senator Butler, of North
Carolina, chairman of the fusion ma
tional committee, Senator Allen, of
Nebraska, and other leaders who IA
vor fusion. the same as in 1896 under
the Chicago platform, are more often
sive as fusionists than Chairman
Jones or Chairman Hanna as opposing
partisans. Those who are here as the
advance guard seem to be opposed to
everything and everybody except the
policy eof the middle-of-the-roader
who want no fusion and no COM
promise on anything.

WIFE SAVED. HAs. LOST.


New York, May S.-A fire started at
the river end of the Mallory Line
steamship pier, at the foot of Maiden
Lane and the East river, completely
destroying the pier and its valuasae
contents. The police place the loss
at 81 200, 900. Several barges which
were moored near the pier were also
destroyed and many rescues of their
captains and of the members of the
families on board were made. On
board the barge Sherwood were
Charles Lochs, the captain, his wife
and their daughter, nine months old.
The father took the baby in his arms
and with his wife jumped into the
water. Capt. Boylan plunged in to
save the woman who had become ex-
hausted. Her husband saw that his
wife was on the point of going down.
1t became a question to him as to
which he should save-his wife or the
baby. He left the baby go in the
hope that she would be picked up by
some oneselse and went to the assist
ance' of his wife. He managed to
hold her above water until Boylan
reached them. All three were then
landed by life lines. The half
drowned captain and his wife were
removed to the hospital, where later
they recovered, with the exception of
the child, who died.

GATHERING AT SIOUX FALLS.
Fusiol4 Faction of Peoples Party Arriving
TO Attend National Conventton-May
Not Name Vice President.

Sioux Falls, ID, May s.-The van
guard of the national convention of
the peoples party arrived yesterday
and to-day and already there is a suf-
ficient sprinkling of notables here to
give somewhat of convention hue.
1t is already evident that the
hotel accommodations will soon be ex-
hausted. This will, however, be of
little Importance, in view of the fact
that practically every private resi-'
dence in the city is to be placed at
the service of the visitors. The
Washington arrivals appear generally
disposed to adjourn after the nomi-
nation of a presidential candidate,
leaving the vice presidency to be ar
ranged for by committee of con-
ference with democratic convention at
Kansas City.

TELLER's soER RESOLUTION.
Colorado Senator Cites Precedents Tending
to Prove That an Expression of SYM
patty Would BE COnsistent.

Washington, May s.-Senator Teller
Monday recalled from the table his
resolution expressing. sympathy for
the Beers and addressed the senate.
Mr.. Teller called attention to the
fact that his resolution was a para
phrase of the Cuban plank of the re-
publican national platform of 1896.
He was satisfied that it would be
proper and right to pass such a reso
luton and he quoted number of
presidents for such action by the SEN
ate. He found precedent for it in the
resolution offered in the house of rep
resentatives by Mr.. Clay, of Kentucky,
in1S31 in the interest of South Amer
lean republics and in many subse-
quent resolutions of similar charac-
ter. If this resolution was objection
able to the senate, he thought any
resolution would be objectionable.
Such an intervention as he suggested
could not be regarded as a hostile Or
unfriendly act.

a recent heavy rainstorm that had
washed out the foundation of the high
trestle. The engine and tender went
down without warning, carrying along
the baggage and smoking cars.

and Is Not Letting Any Grass Grow
= Under His Feet - How the British
Crossed the Vet.

London, May s.-The capture of
Winburg by the British is confirmed,
and the main advance to Pretoria con-
tinues with the machine-like preci-
sion and rapidity which has character
lied all Lord Roberts forward move
ments. By the occupation of Win
burg, Gen. Hamilton puts himself
nearly parallel with Lord Roberts and
only 20 miles westward, while he has
the additional advantage of being con-
nected with his chief by means of the
railroad that runs from Smalldel, or
Winburg road station, as it is some
times called. The only feature of the
carefully-devised plan not disclosed
by the swift developments is that
part that Butler has elected to take
in the operations. At present there
are no indications of any movement
on the part of the Natal army.
Lord Roberts is now nine miles
north of the Vet and So miles north of
Bloemfontein. Evidently he is not let
ting grass grow under his feet,
though the Beers seem equally anx-
ious to retreat towards Kroonstadt
and are so doing.
(Winburg road station) dated Sum
day, gives details of the occupation
of Winburg by the British. 1t says:
News has just come here that Gen.
Hamilton is giving the Beers no rest
and that they are falling back hurriedly.
He entered Winburg to-day after a brisk
fight, in the which the Beers fell back
so quickly that one Of their guns, in adj
dition to maxim was abandoned. The
Boer forces entrenched on the opposite
bank prepared to contest the crossing.
Our guns were brought into play and a
terrific shell fire was directed on the
Boer lines. At the same time the Queens
landers, under heavy fire, dashed
across the river, and, advancing in the
open, completely turned the Boer right.
1t was dusk, but nothing could stop the
gallant Australians. They pushed on
again. seized a commanding kopje and.
by brilliant movements and continuous
rifle fire drove off the enemy in the dark
ness. The first CLEAN Of dawn this morn
ing found the enemy in full flight, and our

lutely from food for 35 days. For 25
days, Meyer says, his wife showed
signs of improvement. Then she was

the thirty-ffth day she tasted food.
From $50 pounds she was reduced to
a mere skeleton. Three weeks follow
ing the breaking of the fast she died.
