NEVADA SILVER FORCES MEET
Warm Fight for the State Onice.
May Prevent Fusion of the
Various Factions.

RENO, New, Aug. 25.-The silver party
and the democratic party of Nevada will
meet in separate conventions here tomor-
row to nominate a congressman and full
state ticket. Fusion may or may not be
effected. The delegates of both conventions
are already here and the questions of fusion
and the distribution of the Offices are being
discussed. 1t is impossible now to forecast
the result.
The democrats are fighting Saddler's re-
nomination for governor and it is believed
that Congressman Newlands, candidate for
United States senator. is behind the fight.
John Sparks, wealthy cattleman and mine
owner, is being doomed by the democrats
for the position, but he has not yet con-
sented to run. Saddler claims votes enough
to secure the nomination.
G.. D. Van Duger is an avowed candidate
for congress- but there are several others
available. Lem Allen is another aspirant
for governor, but 1t is thought he will be
content with the nomination for lieutenant
governor. Howell. the present incumbent
has opposition for the once OF secretary Of
state in the person of Nate Rolf, also sill
yer man.

CORPSE NOT TO BE ExHUMED
Doubt as to Identity of Body Buried
as that of Minnie MitshsiI
still Prevails.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-Doubt as to the
identity Of the body buried as Minnie
Mitchell must for some time complicate
the mystery shroudlng the Bartholin-
Mitchell murder case.
For the second time Judge Brentano
today refused to Issue an order to ex-
hume the body of the woman which was
found on August in the weeds OF a lonely
field at Seventy fourth and State streets.
A plan was on foot to have dentists who
worked on the young woman's teeth in
spect those OF the dead body to clear up
the doubts of identity, but Robert Mitchell,
brother Of the supposed decedent, declined
to sign afidaWts necessary for the ex-
humation.
He said his family was willing that the
body be disinterred, but that, although
the only means of Identification they had
were articles of clothing found near the
body, they were not willing to take the
initiative.
Chief OF Police o'Nell today received In
formation that leads him to believe Will
liam J. Bartholin, the suspected murderer,
was in Chicago August 16. He said he
thought the fugitive was not dead ana that
he was seen with a valise, and probably
left the city two days after the discovery
Of the body Of his murdered mother in her
home.

CANNOT TEMPT THE BoERs
Generals Visiting European Continent
Refuse to BE InveisIed Into
Schemes of Mischief.

LONDON, Aug. 25.-The attitude Of the
Boer generals on the continent is regarded
here as absolutely correct 1t has been
found impossible to inveigle them into
schemes of discomfort and mischief.
General Botha's reported statement that
is is the duty Of the burghers wishing to
live in South Africa to respect and observe
the laws Of the British empire and render
themselves faithful subjects Of King Ed
ward enhances the respect that Englishmen
have hitherto felt for him.
BRUSSELS, Aug. 25.-The Boer generals
have issued a statement that their services
at the Transvaal legation will no longer be
required after the end Of September, when
the legation will be abolished.
When they conferred with DR.. Leyds last
week the generals suggested the desirable
ness of his surrender OF his position as rep
resentative and on the disappearance Of DR..
Leyds, 1t is thought probable that former
State Secretary Reitz will become leader Of
the irreconciliables and attempt to organize
an anti-British campaign in Europe.

PROPAGANDA MEETS SEPT. !
COadjutIr for san Francisco and
Archbishop of New York
Are TO he Selected.

ROME, Aug. 25.-Cardlnal Gotti, the new
project Of the propaganda, has convoked
the congregation of the propaganda for
September l, when among the business to
come up will be the questions OF the ap-
pointment of a coadjutor, with the right
succession, to the archbishop of San Fran
cisco, Most Rev. Patrick William Riordan,
d., D., and the nomination Of an arch
bishop Of New York
The Associated Press learns that the
congregation is almost unanimously in
favor of Rt. Rev. George Montgomery,
bishop of Los Angeles, Cal, as coadjutor
to the archbishop of San Francisco, and
Rt. Rev. John NJ Farley, vicar general as
archbishop OF New York.
In the event Of Bishop QuigIey not being
appointed the congregation of the propa-
ganda is likely to request that new list
OF candidates be submitted.
The prevailing opinion at the vatican is
that the pope is likely to appoint Right
Rev. James Edward Quigley, bishop OF Buff
falo. N. Y, to the archbishopric of Chicago,
Notwithstanding his expressed preference
for remaining in Buffalo.

Latest Information IL that Combina-
tiOn of Big Packing Houses IL to
Become Elective First Day
of September.

A prominent eastern capitalist who owns
stock in several Of the packing companies
was in Omaha yesterday and said 20 friends
at his hotel that the merger Of the packing
interests was going through. More than
this, he said that @. f. Swift would be at
the head OF the combination and that
Michael Cudahy would be chairman OF the
board Of directors.
1t was understood from the same author
ity that Z. A. Cudahy and ]. Ogden Armour
would retire for a time from the business.
These two capitalists will, however, have
stock in the amalgamated association.
1t is understood that the oficial an
nouncement Of the new organization will be
made about September 1.
Later on message came to Omaha that
T. w. Taliaferro had Just returned from a
trip. Mr.. Taliaferro is general manager OF
the Cudahy interests here. To reporter
for The Bee Mr.. Taliaferro said that he
had Just returned from his ranch at Stan.
ton and that he knew nothing about the
proposed merger.
1t Is known that Mr. Taliaferro was In
Chicago when the merger deal was con-
summated and that he returned only a few
hours before the query was put to him,
On good authority 1t is stated that an
inventory of the Cudahy plant is now be-
ing taken. This work has been in progress
for day or two, but the management has
kept the matter quiet
No one at the Swift plant in South
Omaha seems to know anything about the
merger. Mr. Manchee. the manager is
noncommittal, as he gets all his instruc-
tions from Chicago. General Manager
Howe Of the Armour works says he does
not know a thing and Mr.. Benn Of the
Omaha packing plant is in the same posi-
tion.
1t is fact, however, that the merger
deal has gone through.
