Leaders of Middle-of the road Wing. Dis.
cussing the Situation.

st. Louis, Mo. Jan. 14.-With but two
exceptions the conference OF Populists
who came here yesterday from twenty
States, ut the call of the national organi-
cation committee, appointed Mt the Nash
Vile convention, is made up of represent
atives of the middle of the road wing of
the party. These exception are George
+. Washburn, of Boston, aud Editor Far
IRISH, of Joliet, ILL.,, both members of the
national executive committee. of which
Senator Marion Butler, of North Caro-
lima, is chairman. Although they both
profess fealty to the policy of non fusion,
they ale looked upon with suspicion by
the outaud-out middle Of the readers,
and are being watched closely to see what
their intentions in coming to the confer.
ence are.
Thus far, Chairman Butler has failed
to n any way recognize the organization
committee. This action on the part of
Charm an Butler, who was strong advo-
cate of fusion with tie Democrats mt the
late election, will. so Chairman Park de.
clares, compel the organization ommittee
to take independent action as to the fu
iule policy of the party, irrespective Of
the national committee.

The estimated cost of the Nicaragua
canal commission has fallen short by
well, no one knows how much, but Adj
-,iral Walker has just petitioned Congress
for an extra appropriation of $1,000 to
finish up the survey that has been begun
by the staff now IN the field. Consider
ing all things the amount asked for is a
very moderate one, and If there was any
likelihood of its being the last that will
be required 1t should be granted. The
trouble is that expert estimates on any
given subject in which the government is
Interested are proving to he the worst
kind OF guessing, and TO finish up any
project within the original estimate is
getting to be n rare exception 1t is not
so much the amount of "leg pulling"
that is done as the frequency of it's repe-
tition, that causes the customary limp.

gained of what list of 976 600 Names
means when we are told that If the Sun
should print one page Of names eacr
week day it would take until October.
1899, to complete the list. When it is
further remem bered that each name rep
resents an annual claim ranging from
$3.50 to So, 600, some idea may be gained
of what oar government is paying out in
pensions. The fragment of the list So far
