 The situation, which is almost spectacu- lar In it's arraying of races has a back ground scarcely less impressive It is evil dent that few of the European diplomats are going into this war with the expecta- tion that the result will be anything other than the dismemberment of China The task of dividing that vast territory and distrib- uting the pieces to the satisfaction of all the sharers is full of the menace of other crises and conflicts. One does not need to take an alarmist view of affairs to see that the situation now developing in Asia easily might lead up to a conflict which would result in the radical encouragement of the map of the world.

came TO an amicable agreement on n
plan of campaign whereby political
work will be run on lines entirely har-
monious to the declaration OF the

The Popu!ist committee met at the
Lyceum and did not adjourn until >
o'clock this morning. The debate over
the result of the conference covered Il
wide range on account OF particular
conditions existing in some of the
Western States, as viewed from u
Populist standpoint. Several of the
mem bcrS advocated requesting Mr..
Towne 20 withdraw IN the interest of
the principles which they all advocate
and FOR the sake nf ensuring harmony
and concerted action, thus allowing
the endorsement OF Mr.. Stevenson.
This course was strongly opposed by
the more radical members of the COM

tain its integrity. 1t was finally de-
cidcd to take no action until MIR.

the Silver Republicans. All of the
Silver Republicans pledged their hearty
support to the Bryan and Stevenson
ticket and the Populists said they were
earnestly in favor of the election of
Bryan. but pointed out the difficulty OF
indorSing this ticket by the Populist
committee without being placed in the
position of dictators of the party. some
thing that the Populists OF Kansas.
Nebraska and South Dakota would not
stand.
POPULISTS PRESENT NO NAMES.
The Silver Republicans presented the
names of Chairman Tillotson. Senator
Teller and ex-senator Dubois for rep
resentation on the Democratic eNecu-
tive committee. The PopulistS did not
present any names for their committee
saying that until they could confer with
the leaders in the various States they
would take no action.
1t was determined that addresses in
favor of the Bryan and Stevenson
ticket should be issued soon by the
Democratic and Silver Republican par
ties. to be followed later by an address
from the PopuliSt party when it is
ready to act.
Chairman Jones said everything is
working toward harmonious action by
al of the reform" forces and that
indications are that all parties will DO
pulling together for the Bryan and
Stevenson ticket.

iourned sine die. A number of the
