THE POPULISTS
MEMPHIS PRACTICALLY SELECT ED AS PLACE FOR A
 CONVENTION.
The Meeting Scheduled for Early in /. April-chairman Parker Talks
 About It and Says There
 will be No More Fusion.

Memphis Special to Nashville Banner. It now seems practically assured that the Populist National Convention VIII be held in this city. Colonel Jo A. Parker chairman. Is In Memphis confer ring with the business men with regard to the convention and has agreed to rec ommend that the meeting be transferred from Louisville to Memphis.
 The meting is scheduled for April 2. though 1t is probable that 1t will be held two or three days later. It will last about four days and will be attended by 1000 delegates.
 The convention will not be a nominat- ing one, according to Chairman Parker. but will be held for the purpose of re- organizing the Populist Party. During the last few years the party has been split into a number of factions and it will be the object of the promoters of this con- vention to bring all these factions back together so as to be able to present a bold, strong front to the two leading parties when the next Presidential elec- tion is pulled off.
 Speaking of the relations between the Democrats and the Populists. Chairman Parker said, to Banner representative:
 There will be no more fusion between the Popuhsts and the Democratic party. The latter Is getting further and further away from it's last two platforms and s abandoning all the principles held dear that nothing is to be gotten by hanging to them and l think that the great ma jority of our party would be only too glad to cut entirely loose from them. The fusion with the Democrats has in- jured our identity and If we get what we want we must get 1t as Populists and without the aid of any other party. I want 1t to be- clearly un1erst pod that we are independent and are fighting our battle alone. because this one thing will bring thousands to ou. standard
 With reference to the work of the convention, Chairman TarKsr said:
 Tt is probable that we will adopt a nev platform. It will not. however, dif- fer materially from the present platform. though 1t will be sucn that it wll be distinctly un ierstooi pv ;.lI factions and that all members of the rlriv .Iay gtand rron it- principles.

A Narrative Of His career rom WFi''
 ten and Verbal Accounts.
 The D. E. Luther Publishing Company of Atlanta, has issued a book which ap- pcals directly to the Southern people 'The Story of Stonewall Jackson" writ ten by William c. Chase. A prospectus says:
 This. the Story of Stonewall Jackson, is A complete and handsome product or the press, while its literary features are referred to as the result of great care. and have the approval of one who has at heart, more than all others combined, the portrayal of a story that touches the memory of General Jackson-his widow.
 "The benefieiaries of the work are Gen. eral Jackson's grandchildren; and al- though we do not take credit to ourselves of affording this opportunity for the peo- pie to testify to their affection for these children. yet we feel that we have at least done our part toward honoring the memory of a man to honor whose mem- ory is honor to ones self. The author has done his part faithfully, and the plan originated with him. He has frequently said that of all great men America has produced, less gratitude, of practical character, had been extended to General Jackson's family-those who were shorn of his protec ection, because of his death, the result of his illustrious services anu sacrifices; and as he felt 1t incumbent and a duty. to make real assurances or gratitude this book Is the result. We confidently believe the American people will avail themselves of this opportunity to procure an invaluable addition to their libraries and at same time. add their hearty support to this effort to benen and serve General Jackson's only llV descendants"
 The story tells of him as a child. an orphan, his struggles for education. and his whole wonderful career. Those who purchase the book should not be limited to the cause, because the character of Stonewall Jackson, in every phase of his life, is one which can be read of pro- fitably and admired in every civilized part of the world. The work of Mir. Chase is most admirably done
 This book cannot fail to interest every one who seeks to thoroughly knew the life history of General Jackson. It is we'll written and laVishly Illustrated.

LARGE FREIGHT CARGO,
Steamer City of Mobile Has Excit-
 ing Departure.

The river steamer, City of Mobile. reached Montgomery early yesterday morning after a rather trying trip up the Alabama. The steamer. however. made good time in spite of the flood stage of the river. Only a few passengers were aboard.
 The boat started on her return trip yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. The steamer yas heavily loaded. The freight cargo was one of the largest which has gone out from Montgomery in recent months. It was mainly composed of guano. This was piled high on the freight deck in every available place.
 The start was bit exciting and the sightseers along the river bank had decided sensation The boat had been tied up at the bank just above the Com merce Street subway. When the ropes wore loosened she drifted down stream but just at that moment a strong gust of wind struck her and she veered rap idly down on the clump of trees just north of the depot. At the high stages of the river the water was almost In the top of these trees. The steamer was blown directly into them and there was a crashing of branches and a breaking of tree trunks. The steamer was firmly caught in the trees but the deck hands in a few minutes had chopped away the restraining branches and shc foated free. No damage at all was done by the slight accident but one or two of the passen- gers were somewhat alarmed.

New York Special to Baltimore Sun.
 Trains will be running in the rapid transit tunnel before September 1. 1905, a year ahead of the contract time, accord ing to a statement authorized at the of- flee of the Rapid Transit Commission yesterday. This statement was based upon the amount of work accomplished by the contractor. John B. Mcdonald, since ground was broken in front of the city hall in March. 1900.
 MT. Mcdonald has received from the commission SIS. 750.Q 900 upon his contract for sS5. 900 Oos. Tor 70 per cent. of the total. While this Is an indication of the rapidity with which the work is being pushed, 1t is not an absolutely fair criterions as nearly $10000.090 of the contract price is to be expended upon the equipment. roil-j ing stock and power houses. Thus 1t appears that of the work of construc- ton fully 50 per cent. has been completed.
 In statement of details made by George s. Rice, chief deputy engineer. 1t is shown that at the close of the day on Friday 63 per cent. of the total amount of dirt had been removed and 40 per cent. of the tunneling had been finished.
