LINCOLN, Aug u.-(Special Telegram)
1T came hard but It was forced tonight.
1t Is hard to say which Of the two con-
ventions, democratic or populist, took the
fusion dose with worse grace. The prop
osition was put through the populist con-
vention. practically under whip and spur
the biggest vote was registered against
fusion ever registered in a populist conven-
tion and score or more disgusted dele
gates got up and walked out. It Is given
out that the anti-fusion delegates, repre-
senting about third Of the counties, will
meet in convention Of their own tomor-
row and nominate straight populist
ticket
When the democrats were presented with
the pop. list ultimatum "a pOpulist for gov
ernor and OILY three Of the minor places
conceded to the demoorats-the naturally
boiled over with resentment. But the lead
ers cracked the whip and told them to take
their medicine and try to look pleasant
while about It. Edgar Howard wanted to
be allowed to vote "a little while" for a
democrat for governor. just to be able to
tell the boys at home that he had gone
through the motions before captivating,
but he, too. reconsidered his intention and
let II go at that. Swallowing Berge a
notorious prohibitionist however, was a
little strong for Bourbon democracy. Berge
was good enough to make a forlorn race
for congress on a democratic ticket four
years ago but governor is different ofEice
All the persuasion Of the big ones was
necessary to smooth the rough places. II
was 2 o'clock in the morning before the
love emissary from the democrats appeared
to tell the populists that the merger was
completed. He told II to mere handful
of delegates, considerable number hav-
ing quietly followed the original bolters,
leaving the chairman Of dfteen or more
counties to report so many as mot vot-
ing"
Disgust is Visible in huge chupks on the
faces Of those remaining in both conven-
tions
The feature OF the afternoon was the ad-
dress OF Tom Watson, the populist nominee
for president, which was listened to by the
delegates to both conventions. II was a
ripsnorting, old-fashioued populist speech,
a middle-of-the-road brand article, which,
while It kept clear Of local issues. arraigned
the democratic allies in scathing terms
that put large holes in the fusion SKINNER.
D.. vysiEan proved himself an adept orator. a
cnol losgh student OF history and an artful
plaaAer. He was earnest and vigorous-in
fact reached the point of physical exhaus-
tion before he finished, but re-asserted him
self for his concluding sentences. The ef-
feet OF his speech will be seen later Its

democrats accepting Parker was certainly

speech had much TO do with producing

Germany of the Fact.
BERLIN, Aug. I.-Russia has notified
the German government officially of the de-
cision Of the Vladivostok prize court that
the German-owned steamer Thea is a law
full prize, because it was chartered by the
Hakoi Sannino Gossi Koja company and
was plying between Japanese ports, which
deprived the vessel of its neutral character.
Its owner, Herr Diedrichsen Of Kiel, will
lodge an appeal against the decision with
the Russian admiralty. The German gov
ernment will give general support to this
appeal and win press Herr Diedrichsen's
protests on such specific points as seem DIS
putable after further evidence is collected.
The foreign Office has not yet cleared up
the legal uncertainties, such as the right
to fly the German flag over the Thea, con-
sideriDg the fact that It was wholly en-
gagged IN the Japanese commercial service.

Eject ON British Commerce.

II the St. Petersburg court reverses the
decision of the Vladivostok prize court It
would be a matter for congratulation.
But anyway, the government has refused
TO admit that the destruction OF the Knight
Commander was justified or that the pro-
ceedings OF the prize court were valid.
The cumulative result Of the Russian ac-
tons was extremely serious, and was hav-
ing a most injurious effect on the com
merce OF Great Britain His impression,
however. was that both governments would
be glad 70 discover reasonable means OF
settling their differences. Lord Lansdowne
concluded with remarking that he was
glad TO be able to add that the replies
OF the Russian government to the British
Representations Justified the hope that these
acts OF destruction OF neutral prizes were
not likely 70 be repeated The British
