ST. LOUIS STRIKE.
Citizens VIII Ask Governor to Call
out Militia.

St. Louis, June Judging from all
standpoints, yesterday was the most un-
eventful since the strike on the 81. Louis
Transit company's system was inau-
gurated month ago. Negotiations be-
tween the strikers and the company have
reached the deadlock stage, and no one
dares prophesy what the ultimate result
will be.
The citizens committee met to con
slider a statement given out by eX-Gov-
error Stone, in which he biames the
transit company for the breaking off of
negotiations. On adjournment it was an
nounced that the committee had not
formulated a new proposition but that it
considered the one presented to the stTik-
ers on Saturday fair and equitable. If
Ex-Governor Stone returns 10 the city
today, conference between him and
Judge II. S. Priest attorney of the
transit company, probably will be held,
when the proposition drawn up by the
citizens committee and approved by the
transit company viii be gone over in the
hope of effecting settlement.

priation bill with the amendment making

nounced that he would not support the
Republican party at the fall elections.

sideration of the antitrust bill, but on

jor General Miles lieutenant general and
Adjutant General Corbin a major gem
eral; also the Nicely extradition bill and
the special river and harbor bill. In the
senate the house antitrust bill was refer
red to the judiciary committee by vote
of 43 to % after an acrimonious debate
almost unprecedented for bitter person
alities and violent invective. The senate
confirmed many nominations, including
that of Major General Otis to be major
general in the regular army, Joseph
Wheeler to be brigadier general in the
regular army and John X. Hazel of Buff
falo to be a United States district Judge
The nomination of w. ID. Bynum to be
general appraiser at the port of New
York was defeated by tie vote.
On Wednesday both houses of congress
were in a deadlock over minor item in
the naval appropriation bill, and adjourn
ment was postponed. Agreement was
reached on the armor plate provision,
but split occurred over the item for
ocean surveys. The debate in the house
was very bitter, and feeling was shown
also in the senate. Congressman Lentz
prevented action on many bills in the
house by Directing to their consideration.

people at the polls.
There are some good men in
the State who have feared that if
the 5th section of the proposed
amendment should be declared
unconstitutional, that the remain
der of the proposed amendment
would stand, and thereby result
in disfranchising a large number
of white voters in the State.
While the great majority of the
best lawyers in and out of the
State have given it as their opin-
ion that the amendment would
either stand as a whole, or be re-
jected as a whole, and that the
5th section was entirely constitu-
tional; still naturally a doubt
among the people may have ex-
listed upon this question, it being
entirely an issue of law.
However, if the Legislature at
it's adj0urned session in June
shall adopt another section to the
amendment, as is proposed to be
done, providing that the amend
ment shall stand or fall as a
whole, all opposition to the
whole amendment will thereby
be disarmed, and the only plausi-
BILE argument of the opponents Of
the amendment will be eliminated.

Warrington, Feb. l5.--The Senate
devoted most of the day to the Fin

this evening by a vote of As ayes to
% nays. The bill as passed provides,
among other things, that the gold
dollar shall be the standard of value;
that a reserve fund of $3.50, 900, 900 in
gold be provided for redemption
purposes; that outstanding five, four
and three per cent bonds be refund

payable in gold; that national banks
be allowed to issue notes to the full
face value of bonds deposited and
that a tax of one-fourth of one per
cent be imposed annually on the
average amount of national bank
notes.
The last section of the bill declares
that nothing contained in that act is
intended to place any obstacle in the
way of accomplishing international

Chances Better than
in 1896

Washington, Feb. 16.-Ex-
Senator German according to an
interview in the Washington
Post this morning, denied the
statement made that he had act
ed in collision with Richard
Croker in the effort to renomi-
nate Bryan, in order that the
latter might be defeated this
year and thus be permanently re-
moved from politics. He said:
''On the contrary, all my eff
forts have been directed against
such action. I did not believe it d
wise thing to nominate him. I
believe now, however, that moth
ing can prevent his selection as
head of the Democratic ticket. He
certainly has the people behind
him to a remarkable degree"
Mr.. German went on to say
that the Democratic chances of
success were better than in 1895.
"The tide he said, s'is now runs
ming against The administration. )"
He thought the new Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty had a great deal to do
with the change of public sentia
ment because it had given color
to the assertion that the admins
tration had an understanding with
Great Britain and that an offensive
and defensive alliance would be
the next step.
He added: "The passage OF
the gold standard bill will help US,
because it will remove the danger
of free coinage of silver and bring
back to the Democratic ranks
those who left it in 1896 on the
silver issue.'
He declared that he would supe

I regret that my work here at

personal attention and will pre-

years stood as an open menace to
good government in the State.
Senator Butler, nor any other
can lead me to antagonize my
own race or to oppose the pres
ent movement in North Caro-
lima to amend the Constitution
OF the State so as to disfranchise
q portion of the ignorant negro
voters, or to sacrifice the princi-
pies OF the Populist party by res
fusing with the Republican par
ty. It is an opportunity which
has not come to the people OF the
State since the franchise was
wrongfully conferred upon the
negroes, and every white man
who loves his race and his State,
should without hesitation en-
brace this opportunity, and in
nay opinion, if he follows his own
conscience and his individual
Judgment, he will do so.
There are thousands of other
Populists who feel upon this is
sue as I do, and they will be
found in this contest with the
great bulk of the white men OF
North Carolina. Senator Butler
has made the mistake of his life.
He may have regarded it as the
only alternative which promised
him reelection to the Senate,
but there should be some things
