ALL READY FOR
 BIC CONVENTION
Populists Meet in Cincinnati Wednesday-Ha|I is Being
 Elaborately Decorated.

Cincinnati, May 5.-The national conven- tion of the middle-of -the-road populists will be held in Robinson's opera house in this city next Wednesday. The decorators were at work on the auditorium today, placing all sorts of mottos and streamers on the columns and walls. Across the front of the stage is large streamer with quotation from Senator Allen, reading: We have thrown over the transom.'
 There are also inscriptions referring to Senator Butler, chairman of their national committee and other leaders who favor fusion. Among the inscriptions are many large pictures of "a hand pointing to the middle of the road as the only way that leads to the new Jerusalem of the people. The badges are all characteristic of the middie-of- -the-roaders, and the tickets of admission are unique. These tickets bear the portraits of Jefferson and Lincoln.
 Under the portrait of Jefferson are the words "equal rights to all; special privi- leges. to none." Under the portrait of Lin coln are the words "a government of the people for the people and by the people"
 At the top of the ticket is the inscrip- tion: @
 keep in the middle of the road" and at the bottom of the ticket is a quotation from the Omaha platform, wealth be- longs to him who creates 1t.

CROWDS FLOCK
 TO SEE DEWEY
Greatest Celebration in the His
 tory of St. Louis.
LEAVES FOR MEMPHIS TODAY
For Three Months the People of That City Have Been Preparing to Honor the Admiral
 and His Wife

St. Louis, May 5.-With a parade of mill itary and civic organizations of Missouri this afternoon and an informal reception by the Loyal Legion tonight, the two days of celebration in St. Louis in honor of Ad- miral George Dewey came to an end. Prob ably 500,o00 people, including 75,00O from outside points, stood patiently for hours along the line of march to see the admi- ral, cheered him wildly as he was driven by in the parade, then pressed forward to some point of vantage on the streets along which the parade wound it's way through the business district to cheer him again.
 At some points of the parade the crowds were so great that the police were utterly helpless, and dozens of bruised and faint ing women and crying children were res- cued only by the use of clubs, in some in- stances the helpless ones being carried out over the heads of the almost immovable mass of people.
 In front of the grand stand at the ex- position building the crowd got beyond the control of a hundred policemen, and for an hour before the parade reached that point packed the street, curb to curb for a distance of three blocks, a narrow pas- sageway for the parade finally being clear ed with great difficulty.
 Horse Plunged Through Crowd
 At this point, almost exactly under the spot where the admiral stood, a horse be- longing to an officer of the Culver Mili- tary academy became frightened, and in an instant had thrown his rider and plunged into the mass of men. women and children. Rearing and kie}ng, he tore his way through the crowd along the side walk half the length of the grand stand before he was finally brought under con- trol, leaving over a dozen persons pros trate and bleeding on the walk. Most of them were only slightly hurt, but one man and two women kicked or trampled on by the crazed animal were carried to nearby drug stores for medical aid.
 Over the entire length of the line of march, extending for nearly six miles, the admiral was given so hearty a reception that he was kept Lowing and doffing his hat continually.
 The parade ended, the admiral and Mrs. Dewey were driven at once to the Plant CTS Hotel, where they rested until even- ing. At o'clock Admiral Dewey was es- corted to the hall of the military order of the Loyal Legion, in the LacIede building, for twenty years This affair was purely informal and no set programme was car ried out.
 Tomorrow morning the admiral and par ty leave for Memphis over the Illinois Gen. tral, where two days celebration will be held in his honor.

FAMINE CROWS
 WORSE IN INDIA
ChoIero is Strengthening Its
 Deadly Hold on Sufferers.
NO HOPE OF EARLY RELIEF
Groups of Emaciated Forms of the Sick and Starved Natives Present
 Ghastly and Most Pitt ful Sight

London, May 1.-The report that cholera is strengthening its deadly hold on famine stricken India brings the pitiful condition of that country more than ever to public view. About 93,5O0OOo persons, for that Is the population of the districts affected, are sweltering their squalid existence away amid pestilence and misery that show no signs of abating. Hundreds of thousands of pounds in good British gold, good Ger man marks and American coin have been thrown into the country, but judging from the latest advices. all this charity is mere- ly drop in the ocean.
 The famine and its attendant complica- tions appear to extend further in virulenee than any previous visitations. The vice. roy, Lord Curzon of Kedleston, and the government are making ceaseless exertions to meet the terrible emergency, but the stupendous difficulties confronting them prevent the supplying of relief to more than 100000. --
 In the meantime the native states are dotted with heaps of dead and dying, and the roads are crowded with ghastly bands seeking to escape from the stricken terri tory, but who, for lack of food and water, mostly succumb in the attempt. One of the most hopeless features of the whole
 
 correspondent at Simla, who writes:
 ''Ten times the total relief could be laid out in single district without fully re- lieving it's distress. All we can hope for Is a succession of good years to put the people on their legs again.
 The British districts are reported to be so far escaping the large starvation and mortality that mark the native states But that their condition is not envabIe is evident from the following description sent by a Bombay correspondent of the scenes at Ahmedabad city in the presidency of Bombay:
 ''In an open space upward of 200 were seated, old and young, being famine per- sonified. The smell arising from their filthy rags was sickening and had attract ed myrfads of flies. Some, especially the old men, were boney frame work A girl sucking two children was ghastly to look at, but the little ones with hollow tenn ples, sunken eyes and cheeks and the napes of their necks- falling in under their skulls, which seemed to overbalance their emaciated bodies. and with wasp-Tike arms and legs were more dreadful still. Many were suffering from disease and numbers had the fever. Those who could work were sent on where tanks were being dug. Others were given a meal and passed on to the poorhouse" This picture is from less seriously af- fected part of the country. The sufferings in the remoter districts where the fa..sine is worse, where all the cattle have long since died, where the water is precious and where cholera has now added its dread scourge, can we'll be imagined.

Great Preparations For Celebrating the
 AdmiraPs Visit

Memphis, Tenn, May 5-At o'clock to- morrow night Admiral and Mrs. Dewey will arrive in Memphis, and from that hour un- til Wednesday morning next the city will be given over to festivities in honor of the distinguished guests.

 For three months more than two hun dred of the most active and influential men of the city have been engaged upon the preparation of the programme of diversions which during the sojourn of Admiral and Mrs. Dewey in the city will entertain that distinguished couple, and at the same time will afford amusement for the thousands of people from the surrounding country who will be attracted here by the presence of the hero of Manila.

NO COMPROMISE
Efforts to Settle Dispute Between Car

Philadelphia, Pa., May 5.-AI efforts to compromise the dispute between the AL Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners have so far failed. Unless amicabie agree ments are reached by tonight it is possible that work on the national republican con- vention hall will come to a standstill By Monday work on the convention hall will have advanced to stage where painters and plumbers will be necessary All jour neymen in these trades will refuse to go to work unless the Brotherhood carpenters are withdrawn from the job. There are about ten thousand idle men in the build ing trades today, practically the same as yesterday.

 and the Fight is Over .~s His Mate

Si.uatlon Very Critical

Buffalo, N. Y., May 5-Commissioner w H. Webster of the state board of s.r1ation and arbitration, said late tonight that the situation in the car repairers strike im- pressed him as being very critical. His expression reflects the general benSf in railway and stock circles tonight that the pacific trend of events since the adjust ment of differences between the road and its men on Wednesday had been checked by the seeming impossibility of the Erie and Lackawanna coming to a settlement with their striking car repairers.
