POPULISTS In A CIVIL WAR
Fierce Fight on Question of
Bryan's Endorsement.
Although No State Convention Has
Declared Against Compromise,
Bryan May Not be IndOrsed.

ST. Louis, July I6.-The battle between
the factions OF the fopulist party ls growing
ficrccr and by next week will De at white
heat.
ON one side it is right for the life OF
the organization, on the other IT Is u
struggle to secure u compromise in favor
or tie Democratic sta ndard bearer.
So far no State convention mas declared
in favor OF an ufcompromlsinS stand. The
best that Ia S been done has beenthe securing
Ofuninstructed delegations. Thisis notably
the case at Little ROCK, Ark, whittier Ser
Seant- at arms Mcdowell went yesterday to
prcsentthe argument approved by Chairman
Taubeneck, the text OF which was given
in last nights United Press dispatches.
Mcdowell said today that he had pre-
seDted the proposition to the Arkansas
convention, and that in his opinion 1t had
struck deep.
Hon. A ID. Maxwell, the Populist State
chairman in Illinois, said tonight
while 1t is true that large iajority
of the Popuiis;s seem in favor of indorsing
Bryan, it is with the belief that he will
accept the Popuiist platform and recognize
the Importance Uf the party, 10th before
and after the election"
The leaders. iic sad, are not going to
!ndorse Bryan In spite OF the strong
showing made by the anti Bryan wing,
the prediction is freely made that it will
be defeated when the main body OF the
delegates reaches st. Louis.
A dispatch tothc United Press from Omaha
quotes V. o. Strickler, member of the
People partynat tionai xecutive committee
as saying he believes Mr.. Bryan will tie
indorsed at ST. Louis. He thinks it the
only thing to do as the nomination OF a
separate ticket would divide the silver
vote.

WOULD DEFRAUD THE RAILWAY
BoOkkeeper and Chief Clerk Arrested
In Savannah

boOkkeeper ana Cnfey clerk Arrested
In Savannah.
Savannah, Ga. July 16.-H. d. Twitty,
bOokkeeper for Francis 1. Mccall. a naval
stores factor, and H. ii. Reeves. chief clerk
to the assistant freight agent OF the
Savannah, Florida and Western Railway,
were arrested today. charged with making
fraudulent receipts for naval stores with
intent TO defraud the railroad.
Three warrants were sworn out against
each OF them, the aggregate OF naval stores
being 1 100 barrels of rosin. for which
false receipts were given according to tho
warrants.
IL is alleged that there was coiiusion
between Reeves and Twitty, and that the
former made out fraudulent receipts for
rOsih which did not exist, while the latter
who holds q power of attorney from Mr..
Mccall, hypOthecated the receipts at diff
ferent banks, drawing large sums OF
money on them. The receipt from the rail-
road is prima facie evidence to the bank
That SO much rosin Is stored with it to the
credit OF the party to whom the receipt
is ISSUED. Under these circumstances, it is a
very easy matter to get the banks to
advance money on such collateral.
Several banks OF the city have advanced
from S25. 900 10 $50, 900 on such fra udu!ent
receipts OF rOsin which have been issued
from the railroad. One bank advanced
about $40. 900, another about Sc 500,
while the amount advanced by the Southern
bank, with which Mr. Mccall did business,
cannot be ascertained. Both Twitty and
Reeves are in Jail.

Andrew Gleeson. ON the other hand,
thinks differently.
MI. Parker is not the choice OF the Re-
publicans OF the District" said GleesoD. He
has been Tor twelve years trying to go
TO Republican convention as q delegate
from the District, and niiled every time.
The people have not wanted him.
II do not know what Mfr. Parker ha done
for the Republicans of tile District except
hold office. There are dozen Republicans
III Washington who have done something for
the party. each one of them has spent
ms Time ana money for the party's success.
II is rather peculiar that Mr.. Parker should
have accepted the position after his action
before the national convention committee
on rules. when he wrote them a letter
requesting that the District be deprived
OF representation.
Well. 1 suppose he is going toput upsome
money for the campaign. And another
view or 1t Is this. Parker was Mckinley
man. and then you see the executive com
mittee could not afford to appoint a Reed
man or Allison man national com itteemau

DISLIKE D1CKINsoN's SELECTION.
Possible Friction to Result from 1t
in England.

London. July 16.-The only point of
possible friction now apparently remaining
between this government and the United
States in regard to the settlement OF the
Bering Sea claims, appears 10 be the
selection OF Mr.. Don NJ Dickinson OF
Michigan as counsel for the United States
before the claims tribunal.
Government officials here have been
placed in possession Of Mr.. Dickinson's
speech before the Loyal League in Detroit
in May last in which he severely commented
upon the general policy OF tie British
government.
1t is conceded that in the selection Of
counsel no government is bound 10y the
same rules in regard to the selection
OF persona grata as in the selection OF
diplomatic and consular officers. Never
theless, guarded statements are made in
Official circles that If some counsel not SO
pronounced in hostility to England had
been selected for the Bering Sea claims
commission the British government would
have found it an easier task to satisfy
home sentiment in negotiating a treaty
for the settlement of Venezuelan boundary
disputes.
