An agreement looking to fusion on the state ticket I was enected early this morning by Nebraska Democrats and Populists In their state cou ventlons alter ininy hours of conferences between com mittees representing the two pintles and, at times, acrimonious debatut In Bepaiate conventions. A strong Pop ulist minority opposed fusion on any basis except Democratic endorsement of the Watson and TlliMcs electors, but this wns met with an emphatic re fusal from the Democrats and a counter-proposal for an equitable division uf tho state olllcers and this wus final ly accepted. Thu Populists thereupon nominated George W. Merge of Lin coln for governor, and the Democrats endorsed the nomination. The Populists, In turn, nominated the following: Stato auditor, J. S. Canady of Mlnden; treasurer, J. M. Osborne of Pawnee City; land com missioner, A. A. Worslcy of Ilutte; school superintendent, Alfred Softley of Grant. This left the Democrats the threo remaining officers: Lieutenant govern or, secretary of state and attorney general.

In part: "We, the Democrats of Nebraska, In state convention assembled, hereby reaffirm the principles of Democracy as asserted and defended by Jefferson, Jackson and Dryan, and approve the platform adopted by the Democratlo national convention at St. Ixmls. We pledge our support to Alton n. Parker and Henry O. DavU, the nominee of the convention. "We point with pride to the splen did record made by our distinguished fellow citizen, and take this opportu nity of again expressing our profound appreciation of his steadfast devotion to Democratic principles." The feature of the Populist conven tion was the address of Tom Watson, the nominee for president. Mr. Watson scored both the old parties and ridiculed the Republican national convention as a cut and dried affair. Of the Democratic convention, he tald: "It made Its appeal to the deity through a megaphone, and drafted Its platform by telegram." His speech, which occupied nearly two and a half hours, was an Indirect nppi al against fusion, and he was fre quently applauded. The Populist platform reiterates tho national platform adopted at Spring field and pledges support to the na tional candidates. Most of the planks refer to state Issues. Pollc Rtscue Nonunlonltt.

Japan' Nav Waiting Gam Final ly Rewarded With Success. Toklo, Aug. 15. -Flags are flying, lanterns are gliiuinerlug and cries of "banzai' are riiiKiug in tho ktreets cf Toklo In rtur of tho victories guiued at sea by Admiral Togo and Vice Admiral Kamlinura. I'udiMiieath the Jollification of tho populace lie a feellig of deep satisfaction und gratl ratlon at the dtapoiial of a desperately serious problem of tho war. The Kusslau squadron which con fronted Admiral Tvgo refused buttle. 11 was stronger than Admiral Togo's squadron In hattlcuhlpn and armored cruisers and had It elected to fight tho result might have altered the fortunes of war. The strength of the squadron which opposed Admiral Togo com pelled him to draw vessels from the squadron under Vice Admiral Kami mura, and this left tbo Japanese navy powerless to operate against the Rus sian Vladivostok squadron and unabln to prevent the raids of these vessels. The raid conducted by tho Vladivo stok squadron In July was extremely expensive to Japan, and not only was retaliation tempting, but It was do- manded by commercial Interests. The navy, however, grimly refused to make a diversion and stuck to Portj Arthur. It was confident that tho harbor soon would be untenable for the Russian warships, that it would eventually get a fair fight In the open sea. away from the Russian bind bat terles, and that the Japanese would win. Tho calculations of the navy were correct, and tho Russians, with the chances even, havo been hope lessly defeated. ...... jf ., , i , Vice Admiral Kamlmnra, after months of weary and patient wnltlng, finally got his chance at dawn yester day off Tsu Island. In 'he strait of Korea. The battle Ja5j''d fjye .hours and rosiiiteu ITt a "ctSipiciti Jaiunoa victory. He sunk the Ruxslnn cruiser Rurlk and sent tho cruisers Grumobol and Russia fleeing back from the fight, badly damaged. The Injuries In flicted on the Japanese vessels were slight. Japanese guns dom.nate the dor-k yards at Port Arthur mi l In view of this fact It would seem to be Impossi ble again to make seaworthy or fight able the Russian battleships which have returned to Port Arthur. It Is probable that tho Russian battleship Czar-'vllch will disarm lit TslnKchnu. The best possible naval force tltnt Russia can now concentrate at Vlad ivostok is four cruisers. Demand for Surrender. Toklo, Aug. 17 The emperor'u of fer to release tho non-combutauts at Port Arthur, coupled with a demand for the surrender of the fortress, was delivered yesterday. An answer is expected today. Ixmilon, Aug. 17. A dispatch to tho Central News from Tokio says that a big oil warehouse at Port Arthur Is blazing furiously and that the position of the besieged Is such that the Jnpa nose are urging them to surrender. The Yokohama correspondent of the Dally Mail says that the cruiser Novik of the Port Arthur squadron hns been sighted in tho strait of Vandlemen, steering for Vladivostok. A dispatch from Che Foo snys tho Russian ships at Port Arthur made a sortie Tuesday. The Russians, it is reported, did not encounter the Japan ese fleet. Nevertheless, they returned to Port Arthur. A creditable report slates that the Russian protected cruiser Palladawas sunk by a torpedo during the engage ment on the night of Aug. 10. Czarevitch Made Plucky Fight. Che Foo, Aug. 15. Details of tho naval battle of Aug. 10 reaching here, show that the Russian battleship Czarevitch mailo a remarkable strug gle. When the battle opened six bat tleships on each side opposed each other on almost parallel lines In the vicinity of Round island. The cruis ers and torpedo boat destroyers on both aide were ordered out of range. When the fight had been under way for some time, tho cruiser and small er craft became engaged. Finally tbo Czarevitch was surrounded by four battleships and two cruisers. She en dured hours of terrlblo fighting pluck Uy. The shell which killed Admiral Wlthoft rebounded from the turret Som Details of Fighting. Ilerlln. Aug. 16.
