FUSION.

The Jamestown Alert, speaking of
the success of the fusion moVemeint at
Grand Forks, says:
The little faction, that tried to
The matter of going it alone, was
finally settled by the convention re­
fusing to accede to the demands'-of
the anti-fusion coterie by a1 vote of
nearly 3 to but it was not taken un­
til all the speakers who desired, had
full opportunity to say their say in
tho regular democratic way. The anti
fusionists were mwtly iom Jud La
Mbure's county which is democrattc ex­
cept it always elects Jud who is re­
publican. It was claimed that, few
independents existed there and in
Cavalier county and that it was better
to have the pure straight democratic
name on the state ballot, than to have
•the independent-democratic. The
speakers talked of Thos. Jefferson dem­
ocracy, the age of the party and their
adherence to democratic principles,
wtc., and said. everything they could
think of fo convince the convention
that fusion was no*-the proper action
but wheh Bolton of Walsh county
asked hW long/it would take the dem­
ocrats of North Dakota to raise up 10,
000, votes wihich the independents had
gitfen to the ticket, the arguments of
the antis fell fiat. The debate was
sharp and brought out a good many
telling speeches and after it was ail
over everybody felt better, the atmos­
phere was cleiar, and a committee was
sent to invite the independent conven­
tion to participate with the democrats
in the selection of a ticket. As the
independents entered -the hall the band
played and three cheers were giyen
the new members. As most of the in­
dependents desired to retain their party
name for future use that concession
was the chief thing they wished for,
the places on the ticket being consid­
ered subordinate.

from. Pembina and Grand Forks coun­
ties, assisted by Fred McLean from
Cavalier county and Ed Cole of Fargo.
Bitfnjolfson spoke for Grand Forks
county-. Every year for six years it
was stated, this same faction had at­
tempted to turn aside, the help of the
independent voters in the state, who
£ad more than an, equal right from
point of. numbers, to demand an equal
share in the representation of the state
and county tickets. Each time the at­
tempt to prevent fusion had failed and
the attempt would fail again. The
majority of democrats and independ­
ents agree on the main issues and in
support of Bryan and the principle of
tne Chicago and Kansas City platform.
The anii-fusionists tried another
plan to head o~ fusion by trying to
get a resubmission plaAk pifc in the
platform. This wouiu cost the ticket
a great many votes and was also over
welmingly defeated in the committee

ELECTRIC LIGHT SUIT.
SUIT IN DISTRICT COURT AT FAR­
GO BETWEEN RIVAL ELECTRIC
LIGHT COMPANIES.
Fargo, July 23.—Under a franchise
granted by the council of Fargo in
1881 an effort is to be made to shut out
alL competition in the matter of fur­
nishing lights of all descriptions to tibe
residents-of Fargo. ,.
Before Judge Pollock of the district
court was taken up the matter of a
temporary injunction asked by the
FaTgo Gas & Electric Co. against th®
Fargo Edison Co., enjoining the latter
company from erecting anS^ maintain­
ing poles and an electjic circuit on the
same streets and in close proximity to
the'Fargo company.
Among the expert witnesses here to
testify are Professor Brooks of the Ne­
braska university and A. W. Zohr, uie
general manager of the Ma-nh-at^Ti
company ait St. Paul.
As soon as this case.'is disposed of
the Fkrgo Gas & Electric Co. will start
an^actdon to preclude ithe Edison com­
pany from operating a plant in the
city of Faligo. In 1881 the city coun­
cil gave the first lighting company an
exclusive franchise for an indefinite
term of years. This company was
succeeded by the Fargo Gas & Electric
Co., and the gentlemen interested claim
that the city exceeded its authorWy in
granting a franchise to the Hughes
Electric Co. two years ago.
The .present case has grown out of
the efforts of the Edison Co. to extend
its line to the south side of the city.
It is claimed that the poles erected on
south Eighth ana Ninth streets are so
close to th© poles -and lines, of the old
^company tWt the current is easily

Wood' followed the Boer command
which broke the British cordon near
Bethlehem Junction July 16 to 19,
fighting sharply all the time. On the
night of the 19th he reached Valker

four guns, accompanied by Steyn and

use its good offices in behalf
of that government, and the report
was confirmed at the sjtate department
this morning. Secretary Hay, how­
ever, says he is not ready to discuss
the subject. The appeal is similar,
if not identical, to the note delivered
last week to the Frefach government
asking mediation. It is probable Sec­
retary Hay will visit the president at
Canton and the reply will there be for­
mulated. It is suggested that this
government cannot promise" to use its
good offices until definite information
is obtained from. Pekin.
The state department says the- re­
plies received from foreign govern­
ments to the Hay dispatch announcing
the receipt of a message from Conger
and urging co-operation in a speedy
advance on Pekin are so inconclusive
it is considered inadvisable to make
them public. Not. one European
poorer believes the dispatch from Con
ger to be genuine. Even the Ameri­
can consul, Goodnow, at Shanghai,
adopts the theory that the ^Chinese se­
cured an old message of Conger's and
forwarded it as a reply to Hay. Thfe
full text of the imperial decree of July
7th, transmitted by Viceroy Liu is
given out. It blames the Christian
Mission association for the trouble, or­
ders protection to ioreigners and de­
plores the death of the Japanese chan­
cellor and the German minister, and
promises to punish thfe murderers.

SHOT THE RAPIDS.
Ei.' S. ^cMaster, of the Grand Forksr
Herald, has just received a letter from
his brother, Capt. Geo. H. McMaster.
who has been for some time navigat-ss||?
ing the waters of the Yukon. Capt£
McMaster writes in part:
"The river so far has bepn very low, _'
and large steamers of the. "Canadian.*
size have had considerably difficulty in.
getting up stream. I did not go down.
on the Canadian this trip. My pilot,.
Capt Murray, took her to Dawson. Mj-»
Elliott, the general manager, has re- *'-r
quested me to stay here to run down
two boats to Miles canon and White.
Horse rapids. I went up to Lake Ben~
nett and got the Boley. She came -4
through all right. She is twenty feet
longer than any other boat that ha&
come through yet, and the water was
•twenty feet lower.. It wis a terribla
ride, and tiae chances were nine out of
ten that she would be a wreck. Bu^
she was worth $30,000 more when she
landed at White Horse, as the White
Pass railroad is very near complete* -I
and will cut off the business on the
lakes. There is plenty of business for
them between White Horse and Daw­
son.
.* "After bringing down the* Boley
went up to the Zealandia, and got hear
through the canon all right, but in
running Squaw Rapids, between the
canon and White Horse rapids, she
could not hold herself back and struck
some rocks, which put three holes in
her. In 30 .hours I had her off and
came through the rapids without mis­
haps. Mr. Elliott was very much.
pleased to get the boats in any kind of
shape, and made me a present of $500..
There were some photos taken of the
Boley as she came through the White
Horse rapids, and I will toy to obtain
one for you.
"There are ten swift water captains
working for the C. D. Co., but -none of
them cared to tackle the trip. Na
steamboat man in the world now ranka
above me. The suspense in waiting
above the canon while the men were
putting on the sweeps to keep the
boat's head straight was terrible. I
thought they would never get ready.
1 wanted to go through and have it
over with, but as soon as I got. into the
pilot house and started it was axi right.
I never lost my head for an instant."
Hundreds of people were lined up
ii?ong the canon and the White Horse
rapids cheering as I came through.
After the trip champagne flowed as
freely as water, bu)t I declined it_ It
was quite a compliment to be chosen
from among ten of tne best swift water
captains in the United States and Can­

years experience in running rapid.
