THEY CANNOT AGREE
THE POPULISTS AND LIBERALS
QUARREL AT OMAHA
The Parke Wing Refuses to Yield Any
Of Its Demands-Bryan the
Bone of Contention

OMAHA. Neb., June 14.-At midnight
diplomatic relations between the middle-of-
the-road Populists and the Liberals are
strained. The midd.e-of-the-road crowd
under the leadership of Milton Parke OF
Texas, are entrenched at the Thurston
rifles armory, and the liberal wing, with
Senator Marion Butler in command, has a
strong position at the Willard house. Act
ing with Parke are Joseph Buchanan of
New York, Robert Schlling of Chicago and
about a dozen committeeman from the
south. In the Butler forces are Senator
Allen of Nebraska, George T. Washburn
of Wisconsin and some other committee
men.
the two wings has been the cause of con-
ferences all night. Conciiatory notes from
the Butler wing have been sent to the Parke
wing, but the latter has so far shown no
sign of yielding any part of its program.
Mr. Parke today announced his opposition
10 fusion refused to recognize Mr. Bryan
until he renounces his Democracy and de-
manded a convention in July, 1898, to nomi-
nate a national ticket for the campaign of
1900. Parke is supported by the members
of the Reform Press association, which has
just concluded its session here. He de-
clares he will never surrender, as he is GER
tain to be out-voted in the meeting Of the
committee tomorrow and he threatens to
lead revolt.
The liberal wing has not announced what
It expects to do, but 1t is the plan to confer
generally on matters affecting the party.

CLEANING UP THE DEAL
How a Crash Will Be Averted by the
Wheat Syndicate Collapse

CHICAGO, June 14.-Arrangements were
completed today whereby the load of cash
wheat which brought the Letter grain deal
to sudden termination yesterday is prac-
tically transferred to Armour & Co. The
plan was formed by banks which have
loaned money to Letter, jr., on his grain.
Armour & Co. are to take up the deal
where Letter dropped it, and, by acting as
agents for the pool of banks, carry out Lei
ter's plans for merchandising his grain.
Armour does not assume the ownership Of
the grain In any sense, but will simply
place the machinery of his business at the
disposal of the banks interested, and 1t is
believed all claims will be liquidated, after
which an equity will be established between
Letter and Armour.
Letters cash holdings are now stated to
have been only trifle over IS, 900 900, but
Armour has named Alex Geddes & Co. to
take charge of all sales to England and 81
wheat afioat for that country. Through his
own agents and the French house of Stick
ney & Co. the continental shipments will be
handled. Foreigners bid freely for wheat
today, and Mr.. Armour expressed the be
lief that good market would be found for
all the grain placed in his hands.
Letters holdings In July and September
futures. however, it is understood, have
been liquidated. This line amounted to con-
sderably over 100000 bushels and was
thrown upon the market yesterday and to-
day.
Announcement of the plan for liquidation
Of the cash holdings through Armour &
Co. caused a firmer feeling on the board of
trade. Plenty of selling was done by the
Letter brokers, but the market showed such
an improved tone over yesterday that the
line was cleaned up advantageously
No reliable estimates can be placed upon
Joseph Letters losses. 1t is generally
thought, however, that they will exceed
million dollars.
An attachment for $3.50 prepared in
New York by Lohrke & Co., grain export
ers, against Joseph Letter was served today
but was released by Lohrke when the ar
rangement with Armour & Co. was COM
pleted.

ment against the property of Jos. Letter
the wheat Spectator Of Chicago. for $793.

ment was levied upon funds belonging tc

Bank, the Hanover Bank and other finan-
cial concerns in the city. The plaintiffs

& Co., assert that they advanced at the
special instance and request of Letter, in
various sums, s793925 since February, 1898,
which he promised to pay on demand. They

Sir Joseph Chapleau Dead

MONTREAL, June 14-Sir Joseph Adolph
Chapleau. formerly Northumberland
of Quebec and Secretary of State of the
Dominion and one of the great French
Canadian statesmen, is dead. He was
born in st. Therese de Blamville, Quebec
On November 8, 1880. He set out from his
native county of Terre Bonnie with only
ten shillings in his pocket, to run for a
seat in the Legislature. His eloquence
made a deep impression upon the con-
stituency and he was elected. AS an
orator he had no equal in Canada. He be-
came Queens Counsel in 1858 and a year
later achieved celebrity as counsel for
Louis Reil's associates, charged with the
murder of Scott. He was Provincial Sec

1S75-T. At the defeat of the July govern
ment in 1879 he became Premier of Quebec.
In 1882 he accepted a portfolio under Sir
John A. Mcdonald.

TROUBLE IN CHINA
Ii HUNG CHANG CALLS IN
ANOTHER vICEROY
The Emperor to Reorganize His Gov
eminent Preparatory to
Another War

SHANGHAI, May 20.-(Correspondenc
of the Associated Press.) These are try
ing times in China. The imperial govern
ment is passing through a crisis. The in
trigues and cross-intrigues of the court,
together with the constant friction between
the Manchus and the Chinese in the i'm
perial councils are complicating matters
Prince Kung, the imperial advisor, is at
the point of death. It can be stated upon
the highest authority that at his death q
reorganization Of the Council Of State will
be made. The famous Viceroy, Chang Chi
Tung, Is now in Shanghai, He will shortly
go to Pekin at the request of the Emperor.
1t is presumed that at the death of Prince
kung, Viceroy Chang will be made one
of the immediate councillors of the EN-.
peror. Though Chang Chi Tung is an eld-
erly man, he ranks with Ii Hung Chang in
progressive ideas. 1t will be a new era for
China If Chang does enter on the duties of
the grand council chamber, for then he and
Ii Hung Chang will be able to outvote the
third man, who is an ultra conservative,
There is, however, one condition to note
personally, Ii and Chang have been enc
| mics. The world will probably have a
fine chance to learn whether these two
great leaders of Western ideas in China
will sink out Of sight their personal differ
ences and work together for the reforma-
ton and consolidation of the empire.
The Emperor is fully alive to the crisis
which is now on. In an imperial proclama-
ton now being sent to the various govern
ors the Emperor frankly bemoans "the
present great troubles of the empire" and
summons his subjects to invest in the bonds
of the new national loan In order that he
may relieved from financial care in the
midst of these international complications.
On May 9Th the extraordinary official an
nouncement was made that Prince Kung,
who was previously reported to have ex-
pired on May Cd, was still alive. It was
said that the Prince had lapsed into uncon-
seriousness and that the Chinese doctors in
attendance had mistakenly pronounced
him dead. 1t was added that the Prince
had since awakened, but that his condi-
ton was critical.
