NEXT POPULIST CONVENTION.

Lincoln, Neb., February 2O.-The IA
tional convention of the populist party
will be held in Sioux Falls, S. D., on
May 9th. Representation is based on
the vote for General J.. B. Weaver
for president in 1892, or, if any cardi-
date for state office has since polled
a larger vote, that vote shall be the
basis. Two delegates at large are Civ
en- each state.
This was the decision reached in a
somewhat extended but harmonious
meeting of the fusion wing of the ma
tional committee which concluded this
afternoon. The feature of the meeting
was the unanimity with which the
members accepted and endorsed the
declaration of senator Allen, Of Ne
braska, that William j. Bryan would
be the candidate of both the populist
and the democratic party and the
coupling with his name that of Judge
Henry Caldwell, of Arkansas, as the
logical and most promising vice pres
dental possibility. Senator Allen
went so far as to say that he La pos
tive knowledge that if Judge Caldwell
was nominated by h populists as Mr..
Bryan's running mate, he would be
acceptable to the democrats and the
fusion national ticket would be Bryan
and Caldwell.

Fortifications on the Canal Too Ex-

Especial 20 Baltimore Sum-

Especial 20 Baltimore Sun
New York, February 19.-The Herald
will publish the following dispatch
from Washington tomorrow:
Upon the highest authority ii can
be stated that there is absolutely no
foundation for the report being per-
sistently circulated in some quarters
that the president contemplates with
drawing the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
or that he is advising party leaders in
the senate to postpone action until
next session. A high official of the
administration, who is entirely anil
lar with every stage of the negotia-
tons said:
1.-The provision in the treaty pro-
hibiting Notifications was carefully
considered before it was inserted in
the convention. 1t has been estimated
that to properly fortify the canal by
fications on both sides throughout it's
length-in time of war every foot of
1t would have to be guarded to pre-
vent an enemy from destroying import
ant sections and thus rendering the
entire canal useless-and to maintain
a floating force on Lake Nicaragua
would cost s70,0 coo. 900.
This estimate also includes the
enlistment and transportation of a
large garrison that would be required.
By the insertion of the prohibition un-
der which the neutrality of the cana
will be gained by the whole world
there will be no need for the expendi-
ture of such a large sum-, and the safe
ty of the canal better preserved
Military and naval officers think
hat $40, 600, 900 for Notifications consti.
tuted a somewhat excessive estimate
although they admitted that the cost
of such a line of Notifications would
| be very great"

beI's Election Ratified In Jsfnt
Session.

Frankfort KY, February 2o.-The at
torneys for Taylor and Beckham will
hold a joint conference at 10 o'clock to-
morrow for the purpose Of discussing
a proposition to settle which of the two
injunction suits relating to the con-
test over the governorship shall have
precedence or the consolidation OF
both cases in order to avoid a clash
between courts over the question of
jurisdiction. The Beckham suit is set
for hearing before Judge CantrilI. at
Georgetown, Friday, and the attorneys
VIII attempt to agree upon a plan of
action Inc facts forming the basis OF
the suit, and as to what Judge the
agreed Ease shall be tried before.
The democratic members Of the two
houses OF legislature met in joint ses-
sion at 3 o'clock this afternoon and by
a vote of "a to 2 ratified the former
proceedings by which William GoebeI
was declared governor and j. c. w.

through which Beckham since the
death of Goebel, claims title to b of
flce OF governor. The republican legis-
lature remained away from the Joint
session, having decided in caucus not

and the adoption of them by the Joint
assembly, from the democratic stand
point, puts the finishing touches. as 20
its action, on the contests.
In the session of the joint assembly,
Senator Triplett and Representative
Order voted against the ratification
resolutions. Mr.. Order, in explanation
of his vote, said he had hoped that
there would be a full and fair investiga-
ton of the contests, and that he hoped
to be able to vote with the democrats,
but he could not satisfy his own con-
science and do so in this matter.
Mr.. Orr declined to vote. He said he
had voted with the democrats in their
former action and did not think ratif-
cation of those former proceedings ne
CeSSary Ecw.
At the session Of the house this
morning when the ratifying resolutions
passed the republicans refused to vote
on the original call, hoping to break a
quorum, but seeing that it mad carried,
went on record.
The democratic senate at 1855 o'clock
took a recess until 2 o'clock and at
noon the republican senate, presided
over by Lieutenant Governor Marshall,
convened but only remained in session
five minutes.

there is a secret national Polish League
which is extended throughout Europe
