this, it is feared, would result in large
braska and South Dakota, where the Pop
uIists.
In case Mr.. Towne decides to withdraw
his name as the Vice Presidential candi-
date of the Populist party, the National
Committee will select another candidate
The Populists are apparently against the
endorsement of Mr.. Stevenson on account
of the peculiar conditions existing in sew
eral Western States, notably Kansas, Ne
Braska and South Dakota where the Pop
ulist vote is larger than the Democratic
and where the Populist leaders fear the
endorsement of the Democratic ticket
would jeopardize the success of the ticket
But the parties will work together in this
way: In States where the Populists
strength is the greater the understanding
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 cleo
toral tickets will be for Bryan and Stew
enson
In the electoral college, according to the
general plan as outlined it is the inten-
tion to unite the vote, probably on Mr.
Stevenson.

WILL ONE OR TWO RUN WITH BRYAN
This Question May be Settled Today Josephus
Daniels Visits Bryan.

Lincoln, Neb., July THE question
whether w. j. Bryan is to have one or two
running mates is expected to be settled
at a conference that will be had at his
home tomorrow between Chas. A. Towne
and other Democratic and Populist lead
ers. Mr.. Towne was expected to reach
Lincoln this evening, but up to a late
hour he had not arrived. With him is
George Fred Williams. 1t is thought Mr..
Towne will remain until Tuesday, when
Vice Presidential candidate Stevenson and
Chairman Jones are to be here.
Senator Black burn is also expected that
day to take part in the Democratic ratit-
cation. The day following the three fu-
sion parties in Nebraska hold their State
nominating convention here and the Dem
ocratic leaders will be urged to remain
and address the delegates.
Mr. Bryan was very much provoked to-
day by fictitious interview with his 10
year old daughter Ruth, who was attend
ing the convention at Kansas City. The
purported interview is a lengthy one and
covers persons and public questions. Mr.
Bryan said that occasionally he was mis-
represented himself, as other public men,
but he thought the children ought to be
spared. The interview, Mr.. Bryan said,
was entirely without foundation.
Congressman Sulzer was one of tonight's
arrivals from Kansas City. He called on
Mr. Bryan.
The influx of Democrats paying their
respects to w. J. Bryan on their return
from Kansas City convention began before
daybreak this morning The delegation
arrived before daylight and marched to
the Bryan home, accompanied by band.
The house was dark but Mr.. Bryan was
aroused and made a speech. He said the
Montana delegation still seemed to have
plenty of enthusiasm. He apologized for
not meeting them at the depot saying
he had been UP for a number of nights
reading bulletins of the convention, espe-
cfally during the committee discussion
over the platform. He was glad to know,
he said, the delegates were more in earn
he said, the delegates ctfoh mohoiboihn
est than himself. Mr.. Bryan asked for
Senator Clark, but was told that he was
not in the party Later in the morning
the Jacksonan Club of Omaha, made a
stop and called on the Presidential can
didate.
The greatest demonstration CT the day
occurred this afternoon when the Ne
braska travelling Mems Bryan Club, which
had just returned from Kansas city called
on the candidates.
Charles +. Towne, George Fred Will
liams, Josephus Daniels, of North Caro-
lima. and Willis j. Abbott reached Lin
coin about midnight. Mr.. Bryan met them
at the train but remained with them only
while they were being driven to their
hotel. Mr. Towne declined to be inter-
viewed and retired Immediately.

AGREEMENT ON PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
Advisory Committees to Effect Fusion on State
and Congressional Tickets.
(By the Associated Press.)

Kansas City, Mo-, July THE confer
once committees from the Silver Repub-
licans. the Democrats and the Populists
in session last night, finally came to an
amicable agreement on a plan of cam
paign whereby political work will be run
on lines entirely harmonious to the decla-
ration of the Democratic convention. This
idea will be worked out in every district
An advisory committee of three members
from each party 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 conference voted unanimously 10
place Adlai f. Stevenson in nomination
for Vice President, and to cooperate
in every way with the Democratic party
for the success of the ticket.
The Populst committee met at the
lyceum and did not adjourn until o'clock
this morning. The debate over the re-
suit Of the conference covered a wide
range on account of particular conditions
existing in some of the Western States,
as viewed from a Populist standpoint
Several of the members advocated re-
questing Mr.. Towne to withdraw in the in
terest of the principles which they all
advocate, and for the sake of ensuring
harmony and concerted action, thus al
lowing the endorsement of Mr.. Steven
SON This course was strongly opposed
by the more radical members of the COM
mittee, who insisted that the party re-.
tain its integrity 1t was finally decided
TO take no action until Mr.. Towne shall
have had conference with Mr.. Bryan.

FUR LIVES LOST IN plrrsBr re FIRE.
syyeral Firemen Were Buried Under Falling
Floor.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 7.-Pittsburgs
downtown section was visited by another
fire today. the second within week. AS
a result four men are dead and six others
are in hospitals suffering from injuries
which may prove fatal.
John Griffin.
Stellar Crawford
Max Butterbaugh.
John Lewis.
The fire originated in the basement
of T. G.. Evans and Company'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 ventilator, falling
into a box of excelsior. The dense smoke
from material in packing china baffled the
firemen for a long time. Before the men
could get fairly at the fire it broke out
in the room and the building was soon at
the mercy of the flames.
At about $50 p. M, when danger
seemed to have passed, ten members of
Engine V and eleven were working Oh the
second floor, knee deep in water
When the third floor fell the firFmen
were buried deep under the debris and it
was believed at first that none escapep.
Superhuman efforts were made by the reg
naming fircmen to rescre their comradese
and in little while they were reached
so they could be conversed with, but so
pinned down by timbers and other debris
that it required several hours to release
them.
Powerful jacks were required to raise
large portion of the broken floor
The money loss will reach 100000.
After a stubborn fight the iremen on
shore assisted by fireboats, succeeded in
getting the fire under control and confin-
ing it to the Angle building in which was
stored large quantity of Angle Niron and
moulds. 1t is now believed that the loss
will not reach 100000

American Humor.

"a third anecdOte that charmed me
was that of the man who, being invited
