Atlanta, May 8.-President w ". Powell
of the Order of Railway Telegraphers Is
sued an order effective at Ii a. M to-day
formally discontlnuing the strike OF the
Southern Railway telegraphers declared
April 70. 1900
In his statement President Powell an
nounces the decision Of the officers Of the
order regarding the strike He states
that the telegraphers can now apply 10 the
Southern for employment without being
considered by the order as scabs, but ad-
vises them not 10 do 50. He says.
''It Is to be regretted that some of the
purposes for which the strike was inaugu-
rated are not entirely successful. Had all

those who agreed TO support II In this
struggle remained loyal to the cause ID
would have been possible to give you the
notice of complete victory"
President Powell asserts that while the
strike controversy Is ended the boycott
on the Southern will be continued by the
order. and concludes his statement as
follows:
"The fight against the Southern Rail-
way will never be stopped by the organl-

POPULIST VICE PRESIDENCY.
QUESTION IS CUTTING A FIGURE AT
SIOUX FALLS.

Delegates DO Not Seem to Know
what They Want to Do-AIien APP
pears 10 he of the Opinion That
No Vice Presidential Candidatc
Should BE Named-He Wants to
Avoid the 'Vvatson" Mistake Made
In 1896.
Sioux Falls, S. d., May S.--The increase
Of delegates and the approach to the
time of calling the National Populistic
Convention TO order. served 10 accentuats
the differences of opinion among the dell
egates as to the policy 10 be pursued with
reference to the nomination of q candi-
date for the vice presidency.
1t is becoming more evident that this
is practically the only question which the
convention will have to decide, and the
exclusive attention II gains renders the
situation quite monotonous. There is oc-
casional reference TO the platform. and It
leaders have been drawing up plans ana
suggesting propositions for interpretations
In the declaration Of principles.
Most of the delegates in attendance held
conferences this afternoon. The greatest
difference of opinion among the delegates
from states is shown in the Nebraska.
Kansas, Iowa and Missouri delegations.
Nebraska delegates feel that they are in
a peculiarly delicate position, because they
are especially anxious to subserve the
interests of Mr.. Bryan. They held two
meetings during the day, but failed to
reach a conclusion, and will meet again
tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock for fur
ther consultation. Senator Allen, who
may be considered the leader OF the dele-
cation, as he is also the especial cham
pion of Mr.. Bryan Is exercising himself
especially to secure that action which will
most certainly rebound to Mr.. Bryan's
benefit.
Delicate Question.
A majority of the delegates from Ne.
braska are apparently favorable TO the
reference of the whole question to COM
mittee Of one from each etate, to be ap-
pointed TO confer with the Democrats at
Kansas City. and 1t is believed that sem
ator Allen is In accord with this senti-
ment. In his exhortatbons to the dele
gates he has dwelt especially upon the
importance OF avoiding the complication
which the nomination of Watson for Vice
President caused in 1896, the inference De-
ing that he believes that any nomination
at this time would be liable to cause n
similar complication in the coming cam
paJgn.
In this position Senator Allen is sharply
antagonized by Senator Butler of North
Carolina and Senator Pettigrew of this
state. II may be said IN fact that the
United States senator's present are holdin;
oofnplicating opinions upon this all-ab-
sorbing question, and It begins 10 look as
II they would carry their differences into
the convention arena itself
In any case the convention will be by no
means monotonous affair.
