I WASHINGTON. May Ex-senator
Butler, chairman of the national COM
mittee of the populist party, was ask
ed today if it was true, as has been
reported, that both Mr.. Bryan and Mr..
ToWne had expressed preference that
the Peoples party national convention
should not nominate a vice presidential
candidate. He replied: 49,. 80:
II have been told that it was true,
but 1t was the judgment of the con-
;Ventfon that the best way to elect both
!of them was to nominate. 1t must be
remembered that neither Mr.. Bryan
nor Mr.. Towne' is intimately acquainted
with the present situation as to the
:populist vote of the South, Mr.: Bryan
could not be elected iby disbanding gor
appearing to disband, the organization
OF the Fpeople;s party. To have done so
would have lost him ten populist votes
for every gold Democratic vote that
he would have won back to him. In
short the convention. did the thing that
was necessary to be done in, order to
insure the election of Bryan"

ID The street railways in Cape Town
have a track mileage Of Is: the em-
ploys number; 300 men, and Is single-
deck, 30 double deck and. eight traflers
are in use. The cars are all made in
America. The rates Of fare are high;
6 cents being the regular fare for q
distance of from two to three miles,
and eight miles, the longest run, costs
36 cents. In Port Elizabeth there are
II miles Of track and in East London
there are miles. In Kimberley and
johannesburg there are horse cars, and
in the latter place the government has
refused to allow the building of an
electric line on the ground that the
farmers would lose the sale of forage
to the horses on the line. Bids for con-
struction and material for the new line
at Durham are already published, and it
is believed that as soon as the war is
over all the horse car lines in South
Africa will be changed to electric ones.

the constitution Of the Minneapolis

lower prices. Another violation is the
RUE prohibiting sales to wholesalers

"Paget's men are at Warnpar. Colonel

There have been several minor en-

that he had recently visited the hospitals
at Pretoria, johannesburg and other CEN
ters of operations He had found the
