Rival Tickets Named in the Seventh Kansas District. GREAT BEND, Kans., April 18.—The hopes of the fusionists in the “Big Sev- onal District have been shattered by the action of the Democratic and Populist Congressional conventions. Both conventions adjourned at 12:30 this (Wednesday) morning, after rival can- didates had been named. The Democratic convention renominated Claude Duval of Hutchison, a well-known commercial traveling man. The Populists nominated - P. Campbell of Wichita. This action was taken after both conventions had ap- pointed conference committees and these committees had failed to agree upon the terms_for fusion. Ex-Congressman Jerry Simpson was not a candidate for the nomination. His political assoclates were active workers in behalf of Duval as a fusion candidate, with an understanding that Duval should have the Populist support and that in re- turn the Democratic vote in the next Legislature should be cast for Simpson for United States Senator. The Populist convention empowered its executive committee to effect a fusion later, with the consent of the convention's candidate, and upon this action some hope of fusion is still based. s~ LOUISIANA’S ELECTION. Democrats Win on State Ticket and Legislature. NEW ORLEANS, April 17.—The election to-day In Louisiana for members of the Legislature and a full State ticket result- ed in a Democratic landslide. The ticket headed by W. W. Heard swept the State and the Legislature 1s overwhelmingly Democratic. To-day’s was the first election held un- der the new legislation disfranchising the negro, and the battle at the polls has been almost exclusively fought out by the whites. The total regisiration was 129,- 000, but uw!nf to unprecedented weather conditions only about 60 per cent of that registration was polled. Three tickets were in_the fleld—the Democratic, headed b{ W, W. Heard, the present State Au- ditor; the regular Republican, headed by E. 8. Reams, and the fusion, embracing sufiar planters, independent Democrats and Populists, headed by Don Caffery Jr., son of United States Senator Caffery. The Reams ticket, according to the early re- turns, cut no figure in the fight, polling an extremely light vote. The Democratic majority in the State will exceed 25,000, based on returns already in, and may reach 50,000 SILVER NOT MENTIONED. Towa Populists Dismount From Their Sixteen-to-One Hobby. DES MOINES, Towa, April 17.—The Peo- ple’s party State convention held here to- day adopted a long platform, which no- where contains the word “silver” or refers to the 16 to 1 ratio. The declarations of the national platforms four and eight years ago are declai reaffirmed. Tm- perialism is denounced; the Porto Rican policy is declared a “betrayal of the peo- > @—‘1@*@‘»4 B S S e I o o e S e e o S et S o Y Manner of Hardship in the Interest of Science.

They were two Russlans of sclentific and literary renown in their own country named Waldemar Bogaras d ar Jochelson and the famous young Amer- Norman C. Buxton, a ford University in the The work cut out for the expedition is little short of stupendous, and is fraught with interest that alwafs at- taches itself to exploration in the trozen North. Two years ago Presi- dent Jessup of the American Museum, a New York millionaire, appropriated $50,000 for the purpose of solving the race question of the Arctic zone. Three Eastern collectors worked over the Alaskan field for a winter season and provided the museum with valuable ethnological data concerning the hab- its, customs and language of the na- tiv all tending to enlighten the world of science as to whether the red man of America is a descendant of Asiatic stock or vice versa. Deductions from recent information obtained on the American side point toward the latter theory. So the work of Bogaras, Jochelson and Buxton will furnish data to complete the chain. The Russlans will touch mainly upon - L 4 . @ * MEN WHO WILL EXPLORE THE WILDS OF NORTHERN SIBERIA. the ethnological phase, studying the natlve language and songs, customs nd physical characteristics of almost every tribe that inhabits the northes ern section of the va ria. Buxton will confine his mainly to the zoological field, to making a new and rare collection birds and mammals for the big mu- seum in Central Park. While the out- lined plan of this expedition is of keen interest to the scientific world at large, still it sinks into insignificance when the novel and dangerous nature of the trip of these men is cc ered. Start- ing from Vladisvostok in Aug they will strike north into absolutely un known regions, and will practically bury themselves for a period of two or three years. Bogaras wilf come out on the other side of the world, as it were, for after reaching a far north line of latitude he will turn eastward and work almost to FEuropean R a, meeting his comrades some years hence in New York City. Jochelson travels up the coast toward East Cape, on the Bering Sea. Buxton goes inland an then cuts north also. Some time in fall of 191 they expect to meet in the East Cape region and there await the coming of the whaling fleet. ailing in this, it is with remarkable fortitude that they stated the wait for easier transportation southward would be a year longer. The expedition is pro- visioned for two years.

AUSTIN, Tex., April 17.—Political cir- cles here were greatly surprised to-day by the announcement that Senator Horace Chilton had withdrawn from the United States Senatorial race, leaving Congre: man Joseph W. Bailey a clear field. S ator Chilton’s withdrawal is based ill health and an inability to make a ca vass of the State. the last week or ten days dozen counties had given Bailey a lead In the race. The announcement of Senator Chilton's withdrawal was made by his campaign manager. sl AL Tennessee Populists Quarrel.

SAN DIEGO, April 17.—The contest of water consumers to compel the San Diego Flume Company to furnish them water in dry years by pumping on their contracts for irrigating water without an extra charge for pumping water where it is found impossible to supply it from storage reservoirs has culminated to-day in an ac- tion in Department No. 1 of the Superior Court brought by attorneys for certain water consumers in El Cajon Valley ask- ing that the San Diego Flume Company show cause why a receiver should not be appointed for their extensive system of water works which were bulit about eight years ago and which is fifty-five miles fong and cost over $2,000,000. The company has three reservoirs and thirty-six miles ;J‘l' flume and about fifteen miles of pipe ne. It has contracts with consumers which specify that in years of normal shortage of rainfall the water supply shall be pro- portionately reduced. During the last two years practically no storage has been made on account of light rainfall and the company has installed pumps and dug wells in the San Dlef‘? River to keep trees alive, charging for this extra water, how- ever, § to cents per thousand gallons. The consumers object to paying, hence they ask a receiver. The court required the petitioners to file a bond of $500 and if this is done the case will be heard on April 27. e R Ladies’ fine kid ties, worth $1 75, for T5c a pair at the Boston Shoe Co., 776 Market* JAPAN VIEWS RUSSIA'S COURSE WITH DISTRUST Places No Confidence in the Assurances From St. Petersburg. Ready to Oppose by Force of Arms the Attempt of the Czar to Obtain a Foothold in XKorea. T Correspondence of the Assoclated Press. YOKOHAMA, March 31.—If the quick and steady dispatch of telegrams from Korea means aught of a really serious na- | ture the inference would be that Japan and Russia are on the verge of a war. Outwardly, however, there is absolute calm, and the tone of the press is but slightly bellicose. The prevalent opinion of the foreign community seems to be that as the conflict is inevitable the sooner it occurs the better it will be for Japan. The latter, with her great fleet, far superior to that of her enemy in these waters, would make short work of Russia's naval force and copnmand the situation, for the time at least, with all the advantage which an added prestige would confer. But, as in all such crises, in view of what modern war is now known to entalil, there is extreme reluctance on the part of either Government to take the decis step.
