Express Great Confidence In Their Ability
to Control the Convention.
ST. LOUIS, July 2l.--The middle of
the road men express great confidence
in their strength. Up to noon more
than 100 delegates to the Populist con.
vention had registered at their head
quarters OF these seven expressed q
preference for Bryan and two said they
were for fusion on the electors. The
others were pronounced for a straight
ticket, and fight against the nomina-
ton or endorsement Of Bryan. The
delegates who registered came from all
parts of the country, there being much
more than a majority of the states
represented. The middle Of the road
headquarters are at present in charge of
Sheridan Webster, who is chairman of
the St. Louis Populist committee. He
and several assistants are giving out
badges and securing information as to
the standing of the different delega-
tions. Mr.. Webster asserted that there
was no doubt about the middle Of the
road men controlling the convention.
He expected two-thirds majority. He
said this estimate was based upon in
formation that has been received from
different states and from what delegates
have said who have reported at head.

PENDANTS is violation of the neutrality
laws by invading the territory Of the
South African republic. Most of the
leading members of the bar Of Great
Britain have been engaged either for
the prosecution or the defense.
Long before the hour had arrived for
the beginning of the trial, every nook
and corner in the court room allotted to
spectators were thronged. There were
many ladies among those present.
Sir Edward Clarke for the defendants,
made motion to quash the indictment
ON the ground that it was indefinite in
its allegations, and that it had not been
proved that the foreign enlistment act
had been proclaimed where the offense
alleged had taken place. '"at .s@

California Populists Ask Bryan to Come
Out AS One Of Them.
KANSAS CITY, July 2l.-While en-
route to the national Populist conven-
ton, the California delegation, 80
strong, issued all open letter to the
Democratic presidential nominee, W..
Bryan, urging him to go before the
country as the nominee of the POpuhst
party. The letter was composed and
dispatched while the delegation was
waiting for it's train to st. Louis, DIR. G..
w. Daywalt Of San Francisco, being
chosen secretary and instructed to write
it. The letter says, in part:
IF you viii accept the nomination of
the Peoples party, declaring yourself a
Populist, you will become leader to
whom will rush every reformer, be he
silverite, Democrat or Republican, and
not only be elected yourself, but also
elect the congress, the law-making
power. This is the opportunity of your
life taken advantage Of, it will, like
Lincoln with the Republicans. send
your name down to history as a savior
of you country, by means Of Populism.
If you do not do it, we must, in de.
fense Of our principles, put another
nominee in the field. Can you thus be
elected"

Timidity Of the Premier Criti-

LONDON, July 2l.-The Daily News
(Liberal has an editorial disc usslng the
correspondence between the United
States and the British governments on
the subjects Of an arbitration treaty, III
which it asks: Why Lot embody the
points Of agreement already arrived at
in the Olney- Salisbury negotiations, in

that the Americans do not approve OF
Mr.. Olney's refusing the half because
he is unable to get the whole. 1t will

The Daily News also publishes an in
terview ON this subject to Rt. Hon
James Bryce, the Liberal member of
parliament for the south division of
Aberdeen, and the we'll known author
of THE American Commonwealth
Mr.. Bryce thought the difficulties III
the way of an agreement, were in no
way insoluble. Lord Salisbury, he said,

negotiations. He sees dangers that
really do not exist. His proposal to ex-
clude matters affecting the honor and
integrity of the nations would seriously
cripple the usefulness Of tribunal.
Mr. Bryce thought that even territorial
disputes might be Submitted. He would
not say that he agreed with Mr.. Olney,
or that he did not with Lord Salisbury,
but he certainly thought that Lord
Salisbury had acted AZ though general

States were being arranged. z
Mr.. Bryce thinks that the proposal OF
a Joint commission Of arbitration for
the Venezuelan dispute would find a

Belief Continues General That
There Will Be a Split at
st. Louis.
Northern Men Generally Favor
Bry"n-1ssp99 81 9them Men
Against Him.
The Middle of the Road Faction
Claims to Be Able to
Control.

ST. LOUIS, July 2l.-The belief con-
tinues to be generally prevalent that a
bolt is among the strong probabilities OF
the Popuiist convention, whatever the
course decided OH by the majority. The
delegates are constantly arriving now,
and the larger the crowd becomes, the
more evident is the intensity Of feeling
over the question at issue. This question
is whether to endorse Bryan and Sewall
or to nominate an independent ticket.
In general way the contest is between
the North and the South. The Western
and Northern delegate calls himself
Pcpulist and the Southern delegate also
refers to himself as Populist. Many
of the delegates express the opinion that
they may at no distant day be separate
parties.
Divided on Sect .onal Lines.
The Northern men, as a class, con-
tend that in the endorsement Of Bryan
lies the only hope Of making the in,
fiuence of the party felt or of achieving
practical results, while the Southern
men, remembering their many contests
with the Democrats of their section
maintain that such course Is utterly
suicidal. The feeling is the same
whether among leaders or the rank and
file, the only difference being that the
former discuss the issue in committee
rooms and the latter in the hotel corri
doris. Both classes are equally earnest
and both declare that there is but ont
course open. The crowds are not large
but the men are all very evidently
greatly in earnest, and any two Of thu
opposing views who engage lii q con
truversy have no difficulty in attracting

more openly than their opponents. They
are perfecting thorough organization
and mean to make a most strenuou
effort to secure the endorsement
of the Democratic nominee. They d,

JERRY SIMPSONS OPINION.

Bryan and 6ewail WIN be andOued -.44~s
THE issue is paramount" said he,
"and men dare not play politics at such
q time as this. If this convention should
refuse to endorse Bryan, the Populist
party would not contain corporaps &

So far as Kansas is concerns, it matters
not what this convention does. We
will endorse Bryan and vote for silver. v

We should adopt our own platform and

the Democrats and the Populists on the

Our platform, think, will practically
be reiteration of the Omaha platform
with a few elisions and an additiona

which is the initiative and referendum

The senator expressed the opinion
that whether Bryan was endorsed OF
not, the Populist convention would
promulgate platform of its own.
Lawrence J. McParlin of New York,
one of the general secretaries OF the
national Populist committee, has ar
rived. He expressed the opinion that
Bryan would be nominated. though not
endorsed, and that an arrangement
would be reached for an equitable
division of electors. He thinks the
Omaha platform will be reaffirmed
