THE POPULIsTS IGNORED.
They Say That Speaker Reed Denies
Them Chance to Represent Their
Constituency.
(Wa ashingto Post.)

The leaders of the Populist party in the
House feel that they have been snubbed
by Speaker Reed, from whom they re-
Gently demanded recognition as the repre-
sentatives of distinct party, and not
as a small portion of the minority.
This demand upon the Speaker was
made some time ago. and Jerry Simpson,
of Kansas; John c. Bell, of Colorado,
and w. f. Stroud, of North Carolina,
were appointed committee to confer
with the Speaker, and to urge that the
Populists be awarded representation on
the Ways and Means committee, the Ju-
dietary committee, the Appropriations
committee. the Banking committee, Coin
age, Weights, and Measures Committee,
Elections committee, and other important
committees, and also that they have
reasonable recognition as distinct party
in the division of time on the floor of the
House.
These gentlemen did call upon the
Speaker. They were met very cordially
and courteously, but got no satisfaction
whatever, the Speaker declining to say
what he would do in the matter. This
they reported to caucus of about twen-
ty of the Populists of the House, with
the result that the request, which they
had made upon the Speaker, was given
out for publication. Some of the claims
which were made in this letter to the
Speaker are worthy of note. They de-
clare that the Populist party is well es-
tablished in every State in the Union, and
that they cast 100000 votes or more in
the last election. They class in their
ranks eight Senators: William V. Allen,
of Nebras ska: William NJ. Stewart, of Ne
vada; John p. Jones, of Nevada Marion
Butler, of North Carolina; w. A. Harris,
of Kansas; James +. Kyle, of South Da-
kota; Henry Heitfeld, of Idaho. and
George f. Turner, of Washington. Their
catalogue of members in the House is as
follows: NJ. w. Howard, G.. "A. Barlow.
Jerry Simpson, G. II. Castle, Jeremiah
d. Botkin, William Stark, M. S. Peters,
r. d. Sutherland, e. r. Ridgeley w. l..
Greene. w. d. Vincent, n. B. McCor-
mick. Harry Skinner, Charles III. Martin
w. F. Stroud, John f. Fowler. John E.
Kelly, A. G.. Shuford, Freeman Knowles,
James Gum. and John G. Bell.
This list does not include Mr. Callahan.
of Oklahoma. The letter to Mr.. Reed
also claimed as Populists, Baker, of Illi-
nois; Jones, of Washington; Maxwell, of
Nebraska, and Todd, of Michigan.
The principal complaint which the Pop
ulists made to the Speaker was that sun
der the rules of the House, permitting
the members of committees to have one
hours time in debate, no Populist being
on amy of the important committees, they
could not control any time in their own
right, and were awarded none in the divi-
sion of time by the Speaker ON any ques-
ton; therefore they were wholly deprived
of an equal opportunity with other mem
bers on the floor, and their great constit-
uency was deprived of the right of rep
resentation in the American Congress-"

RAILROAD COMBINATIONS.

The court next took up the question of
the true construction, assuming that the
law applies to railroads. On this point
it said: 1.-The claim that one company
has the right to charge reasonable rates
and that therefore it has the right to en-
ter into a combination with competing
roads to maintain such rates cannot be
admitted. The conclusion does not follow
from an admission OF the premise. What
one company may do in the way OF charg-
ing reasonable rates is radically different
from entering into an agreement with
other and competing roads to keep up the
rates to that point. If there be any COM
petition, the extent of the charge for the
service will be seriously affected by the
fact. Competition will itself bring charges
down to what may be reasonable, while
in the case of an agreement to keep
prices mp competition is allowed 10 play
il is shut out and the rate is practically
fixed by the companies themselves by viz
tue of the agreement so long AS they
abide it."
Concluding this branch the opinion
says: I'VE corr'"''p IN. the antitrust
act applies to ri.ltoIds, aAd that it rem
ders illegal all agreements Whica are in
restraint of trade or commerce" 1t is

The new board of directors of the Allan

ent were Robert Hancock, r. III. Mead
ows, w. ii. Chadwick, Jr, I. ID. lleW-
lett. VIM. H. Sawyer, w. j. Pope, john

director present.
Mr.. Hancock was elected chairman ana
Mr.. Chadbourn secretary of the meeting.
Mr.. Hancock was elected president OF
the Atlantic ard North Carolina Rail
road.
A resolution was adopted instructlng
the PRESIDENT ELECT to make immediate de
mand on the president, w. 5. Chadwick,
and the officers and agents of the road for
possession of the same. 1t was harmo-
nious meeting.
Mr.. Dempsey Wood, ON behalf of the
private stockholders. said they proposed
to work harmoniously for the best inter
ests of the road. Mr. Hancock called the
board to meet in Newbern tomorrow,
Thursday. evening at 8 O'Clock, by which
time. | presume, the new board will be
in.
No other business was transacted.
The sentiment of the board seemed to be,
so | am told, that the road should be run
on business principles rather than politics.
NJ Hancock informed me that no
change would be made at once; that the
policy would be to make no change III a
place until good competent man was
found to fill it. He said it was his inten-
ton to do better. if possible, than Mr..
Chadwick had done with the road, and
he recognized the fact that it would take
hard wark to do this.

Especial to Baltimore SUM

Washington March 21.-Among the
pleasantest of the events of yesterday
was Il young ladies' luncheon given by
Mrs. Horstmann in honor of Miss Mabel
Mckinley. Among those present were
the Misses Gary, daughters of the Post
master-General and Mrs. Gary, Miss
Mabel Mckinley. the favOrite neice OF
President Mckinley, who calls her Sun
beam" She spends much of her time at
the White House, and has assisted Mrs.
Mex inley to entertain her visitors at
each of the large receptions she has
given.
The precedent established by Mrs.
Mckinley in remaining seated during re-
ceptions bids fair to become exceedingly
popular in Washington, especially in Of
fetal circles, where the long hours of
standing are liable to do injury to even
the strongest constitution. Mrs. Car
Isle, who has perhaps stood more than
any other woman in Washington for
twenty years or more, says that standing
at receptions is the hardest and most
trying feature of official social life.
Nine. Romero, wife of the Mexican
Minister, during the past year received
visitors while she sat in a high chair.
Mrs. Hanna. who walks with a staff,
owing to an injury, will spend much of
the time seated when entertaining. The
Misses Gary, when receiving last We'd
nesday in place of their mother, Mrs.
Gary, who is still in Baltimore, asked
their guests to be seated and conversed
with them as with their intimate
friends

young man in whose presence the tickle
goddess is all smiles.
Last summer Mr.. Pool startled his
friends by pulling rom his pocket a
check for $1,000. This amount was
awarded him by an Atlanta newspaper
for guessing the exact number of bales
of cotton received in New Orleans be-
tween June 10, 1895, and May 10, 1896.
Twice since that time he has entered
contests conducted by the same paper,
and twice he has come out successful.
However, the number of guesses were SO
large that the last two checks were for
only S1.70 and $50 cents respectively.
