FUSION I Democrats and Fopulists Combine on State Officers as Well as Electors. Special Dispatch to the Evening Star. St. Pact, Mixx., Oct. 26.--Not only have democrat poputists in Minnesota fused on the electoral ticket, but they have also fused in most legislative districts in the state for the purpose of defeating the republican can- didate for U. S. Senator, C. K. Davie. Tue state senate holds over, and out { its fifty-four votes the ‘republicans only twenty-six. In the last house the re- publieans had only forty-six out of 110. The deniweratic popularist combine therefore has strong hopes of retaining control of the legisla- ture, and they have agreed upon Daniel Buck of Mankato as fusion candidate for United tates Senator. The most sanguine of Sen- ator Davis’ fi ds estimate that he will have ten majority on a joint ballot, 1 the fusionixts are elated to ee the republi- «railing so close to the wind. Latest re- ports received at the various political party eadquarters from congressional districts indi- that the republicans will carry the first, third and the fourth and sixth districts will probably fall to the people's party. ‘The indorsement of four populist clectors by democrats is fairly well received by the democ- racy. and today there is some ta’k of the demo- cratic managers issuing an address asking dem- ocrats to vote for all nine people's par i electors and abandon the democratic electors altogether. Many leading re- publicans are now prepared to con- cede the loss of four electors and they also will admit that there is little hope of electing republican supreme court judges in the face of the joint nominations made by the dem- ccrats and populist. No republican on the state ticket is considered safe, but the opera- tion of the new election law will be watched with much anxiety. ssc ae FUSION IN NEBRASKA. xo The Democrats Will Stick to Their Ticket and Will Let Weaver Go. Oxama, Oct. 26.—It is angounced that there is no foundation for the rumors that at joint conference last night by the Le Maret and Jacksonian Clubs, democratic organizations of this city, it was agreed that democratic support should be given to the Weaver electoral ticket | and the democratic ticket would be kept in the field to hold the always straight element of the | ety. On the contrary, it is stated at democratic | headquarters that’ the leaders are hopeful of | carrying Nebraska for Cleveland and declare that it would, under the circumstances,be sheer | folly to support the Weaver electors. ~ PLOT AGAINST JERRY SIMPSON. | Excitement Caused in Kansas Over 8! several weeks, was consummated today. Deadly Conspiracy. Kaxsas Crrv, Mo., Oct 26.—The Star's | Whichita, Kan. special says: Jerry Simpson has been warned that a conspiracy to kill bim has been unearthed, and until he has completed the tour of his district he will be accompanied | by a body guard. | ‘The democratic and populist congressional committees for the seventh district are thor- oughly disconcerted at the wild story which the interesting letters tell, and after a consulta- | tion with John W. Breidenthal, chairman of | the populisttstate central commuitee, today de- | cided to make all the correspondence public. | ‘The leaders to whom the story has been un-| folded are in a feverish state of excitement and the conditions in the district are such that the masses will be similarly affected. Briefly told the story isthis: Some one writing at different times over the signature of F. A’ P. from McPherson, Emporia and Troy to one Robert Swivel at Harper, Kan., after carefully unfolding a scheme to “plug” Simpson, entered into negotiations — with Swivel to do the job for 2.000. Swivel is su posed to be an astumed name, but mail to this address has been regularly calied for at Harper for the past #ix weeks, The letters were brought to Chairman Breidenthal by S.E. Cole of Harper, chairman of the populiste central committee of Harper county, Tuesday morning. Cole received them from G. H. Coulson Anthony, a representative to relate. He said that on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock « friend came to bim, who stated that he had information in regard to the conspiracy He would not reveal the name unless he would solemnly pledge that under no circum- stances would tbe informer’s name be revealed, 4s he knew the man to be desperate. After receiving the promise the friend handed him three letters which he had gotten from the man while he was intoxicated. He claimed to! have met the unknown on the street and the | two had proceeded to a deserted hut near | town where there was some whisky. Th revealer of the alleged plot became beastly ii toxicated, and while attempting to tell of the deep, datk mystery the letters fell from his Pelir Coulson’s friend picked them up and was horrified. It was midnight Saturday when the debauch ended and Sunday afternoon the letters were delivered to Coulson. The following day Mr. Coulson drove to Harper and handed them to 8. E.

Greely’s Remarks on Military Tele- graph Lines and Balloons. Gen. A. W. Greely, chief signal officer, in his annual report to the Secretary of pre- at length upon the value to the country of the 900 miles of military telegraph lines which have been successfully maintained in operation dur- ing the vear by the signal corps. As au instance he cites the use of the Fort McKinney line dur- ing the cattle war in Wyoming and of the line between Forts Brown and Ringgold, ‘ex., during the Garza troubles. This latter line it ia proposed to extend from Fort Ringgold to Pena, on the Mexican National railway. With an eye to the demands of modern war- fare special attention has beon given to the equipment of field or flying telegraph trains for armies operating away from the permanent lines of the country. ‘The field tele- wherewith a moving line can keep in communication with its brigade or division commander. has been satisfactorily devised. For the first time since the war the signal corps constructed a ficld telegraph line for the use of the Mexican boundary commission between Separ, N. M.,and the “Corner,” a distance of forty-two miles, fwelve miles of wire was run the first day in eight hours. In seventeen days the command unioaded the material, erected and maintained the iine in an unfavorable country until it was no longer required and dismantled and shipped it, all with untrained help, for the officers. Much sj ace is devoted to a summary of the experiments made by other nations with mili- tary balloons, an exclusively American idea, first used by Gen. Porter and developed by European military powers. It is aaid that so far the-e experiments have not yet proved the advisability of replacing the captive balloon of Gen, Porter by free balloons, but the important part to be-played in future wars by free dirig- bie balloons or by fying machines js said to be Unquestionable. Consequently a balloon sec- tion is being organized with ech fiving tele- graph train to operate a captive balloon to col- lec: military information and transmit it to the ground by telephone cable. The English eve- tem of a captive skin balloon with portable cylinders containing hydrogen gas under the Breat preseure of 120 atmospheres bas been adopted as the «tandard. By this system the men may fill the balloon and make an ascent cf half a mile or more in half an bour, Such a the world’s fair next year. ‘The heliograrh, has been perfected so that messages may be eeut by ite light beam dis- tances ranging 60 to 100 miles. ‘The obvious ndvantage arising from concerted action in harbor defenee, insured through re- Viable and instant communication between the more important forts and harbor defenses, bas led Gen. Greely to submit a special estimate of 82,000 to initiate asystem of military cables and connecting land lines in New York, Boston and San Franc Is based on the service code hus been devised for the tranemis- sion of orders to troops in the extended or open formation and {s now under consideration by the major general commanding. Jn ‘conclusion Gen. Greely speaks encourag- ingly of the growlng interest in signal work manifested by the militia of the United States, and be suggests that the militia act be amended to permit signal stoves to be iseued to the state guards upon requisitions as part of their allotments. en The President's Considerate Action. The President forgot his own sorrow today long enough to consider the cases of Marshal Wheeler and Lee Sing, a Chinaman, two con- victe, who are now lying at the point cf death, the former in the York county (8. ©.) jail and the- latter in the Albany (N. ¥.) nitentiary. Wheeler was convicted in South Carolina of violating inter- nal revenue laws and sentenced August 18, 1892, to «lx months’ imprisonment. He fs. suffering from typhoid fever. and it is represented to the President that he will surely die unless be has the benefit of purer air than be can get in bis prison cell. Lee Sing is dying from cancer and is in need of immediate relief. Their cases appealed par- ticularly to the President in his own afliction, and he ordered pardons to be issued in both cases, ———--« . ‘To Act as Body Bearers.
