They Say They Are Ready to FLY to the Rescue
Of the Country

Denver, Col, July 2S.-Amalgamatio ton
into one party was to-day effected by
the two factions of the Peoples party
in national conference.
The following address was reported
by the Committee on Resolutions and
adopted:
1.-THE manifest unrest which every
where appears in the nation demon
strates the dissatisfaction of the Amer
lean people with the present manage
ment or government and argues the
necessity of the reform forces coming
together in united action at the ballot
box to obtain proper legislation where
by the right of the people to self-gov-
eminent may be had for themselves
and their posterity.
Experience having demonstrated
the futility of any attempt to secure

the enactment of our truth either
through the Republican or the Demo-
cratic parties. we believe the time is
now at hand when the united Peoples
party should declare itself emphatical-
ly opposed to any utilization with either
of these parties and unqualihedly In
favor of national political action"
After reciting the fundamental prin-
ciples of the Populist party, as enun-
ciated at Omaha, July A. 1898, the adj
dress concludes as follows:
With these principles firmly estab-
lished, equal justice would prevail,
special privileges would be eliminated
and ours would be, as patriots every
where desire, a government of the peo-
pie, for the people, by the people"
The conference adjourned sine die
this evening. 1t is expected that the
two national committees which will
meet mere Tomorrow will ratify the
action of the conference in the adop-
tion of resolutions providing for ANAL
gamation.

Opponents Think, Is Already Being
Shifted "a Bit.
London, July 2S.-It is stated that
arrangements have been made to call
a special meeting of the cabinet about
the end of September, by which time
it is anticipated that the ministers in
designations of the fiscal problem will
have been completed and the cabinet
viii be in a position to. reach a. def
mite decision on Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain's proposals.
Mr.. Chamberlain's opponents claim,
as result of the reception given to
his proposals by Parliament and the
country, that he is already shifting
his ground. They point to inspired
articles in the press and the conduct Of
the campaign of leaflets at Birming-
ham, as showing the tendency of Mr..
Chamberlain to abandon the policy
of solely taxing food and substituting
modified duties on foreign food and
manufactures, the revenue from
which, instead of being devoted to old
age pensions. would be applied to re-
moving and relieving the taxes on SUI
gar, tea and tobacco.

MOB SOUGHT VENGEANCE.
Beat a Hun Before He Was Rescued
by the Police.


by the Police.
Wheeling, w. Va, July 2s-But for
the timely arrival of the police, John
Posteop, a Hungarian steel worker.
would have been strung up by an en-
ragged mob on Wheeling Island to-
night.
Posteop, who was drunk, caught in
his arms and embraced a well-known
and respected lady residing on the Is
land, as she was returning home over
the steel bridge, unescorted, late in
the evening. The woman's cries were
quickly answered by citizens. who
rushed from their homes.
The man took to his heels, pursued
by a crowd which was increased every
minute. When the mob drew close to
the foreigner, he wheeled and drew a
dirk, fully twelve inches in length, and
held the mob at bay for some time.
A cobblestone hurled the knife out of
the mans hand, while another struck
him on the head and knocked him
down.
Stone after stone was rained upon the
unconscious wretch In rapid success
sion, and a rope was quickly sent for
by the now thoroughly aroused citi-
zens, who were until that time under
the impression that a criminal assault
had been committed. Vengeance had
been decided upon, and a convenient
spare tree picked out when force of
policemen arrived upon the scene. and
rescued the cringing wretch from the
mob's hands.
He was badly used up and is in a
serious condition.

skyIarks in OREGON.
From the Portland Oregonian

From the Portland Oregonlan.
The vexed question as to whether
skylarks have abandoned the Laid tract
In Hawthorne avenue or not has been
definitely and satisfactorily settled by
L. l.. Hawkins, who made an investi-
cation of the tract. He found one
pair of skylarks with pair of young
ones, and also some horned larks, an
other bird imported from Europe when
the skylarks and other song birds were
brought over. There is no longer any
need for dispute about this subject,
and Oregonians can rejoice that their
state is the only one in the Union
where skylarks flourish.
1t has been discovered that the rea-
son why the skylarks have deserted
one of their haunts Near the city linn
its is that the tract where they used
to nest has been leased to Chinese, who
have started a six-acre cucumber patch
there Under such circumstances the
larks cannot be blamed for going fur
Their into the country, as the cucum-
bers grow so plentifully that there is
no room for the larks among them. As
long as the vines are kept well strip
ped and none of the cucumbers are al
lowed ito ripen new ones are produced
In great numbers, and a single hill of
vines will produce -four bushels of
"gherkins." People cannot live without
pickles. but they can get along with
out music, so the larks much go.
