the arrival of the students procession
at the Hotel Scribe. The upper win

and silver coins were thrown down.
The students, incensed at the insult,
wished to attack the shipping Office,
which is OH the street level, but the
police interfered, pointing out that the
shippers had no connection with the
people above them.

office in order to avoid further Incl
dents.
A delegation of four students en-
tered the hotel and presented a boquet
to Kruger, who accompanied by them,
appeared on the balcony, arousing
great enthusiasm among the students,
who now numbered 1000. A CON
siderable body of students stationed
themselves below the window from
which the money had been thrown,
singing anti-Enlgish songs and shout
ing "Down with the English No

called this afternoon to the statement
attributed to Samuel Pearson, former
commissary-general Of the Transvaal
army, and cabled from New York,
that Kruger would probably soon pro-
coed to the United States he replied:
"The rumor is without foundation.
Nothing has yet been decided regard
ing such a move.

certaining il some sort of an amicable
understanding could not be arrived at

lasted several hours. but at its conclu-
sion Governor Stephens announced
that nothing had been accomplished.
The strikers officials, 1t was learned,
announced that they were willing to
arbitrate the question of differences,
provided the proposition to do 80 came
from the railway company. The rail-

fused to entertain any such PROPOSE
tion, stating that they had nothing to
arbitrate

self, that the Barker following would
bolt the convention should their leades
be turned down. Owing to the fact
that the Alabama delegation could not
support Mr.. Howard matters were fur
ther complicated. Mr.. Howard took
the only course for the restoration OF
harmony lie announced that he had
no ambition to head the ticket and
came to Cincinnati without the slight
est expectation OF being named. Then
he withdrew his name. Nevertheless.
when the roll call was completed on
the first ballot Howard was at the top
of the column--only a few short OF the
nomination.
On the second ballot Howard's plain
ly stated desire for harmony took ef-
feet and the 20 votes which went to
Donnelly on the first roll call were
gradually worked over to the Barker
column. Minnesota was passed at it's
own request. and when the other states
had voted It was apparent that the 48
votes Of Minnesota could settle every
thing in a harmonious manner by go
ing to the Pennsylvania. They were
cast for Barker and gave him the
requisite majority over all. Howard
then moved to make the selection OF
Barker unanimous, which was done.
Without a dissenting voice Ignatius
Donnelly was declared vice presiden-
tial nominee.

cording to leaders Of the movement,
is the one and only Peoples party.
Since Tuesday a steady current against
the cut and dried cnoice OF Barker
and Donnelly by the initiative and

the foundation upon which that ticket
stood. Former Congremman Howard,

on the presidential nomination through
his eloquent address in assuming the
temporary craftsmanship of the conyen-
