necepttve butter Tests.

"And it seems we should have got
more butter, but we did not" There
Is a whole sermon in these few words
from correspondent, who reports a
butter test of his COW. 1t plainly ex-
presses the fallacy of crediting COW
with a butter test on the basis of an
indication. Butter tests represent a
marketable produce. and estimated
possibilities are not marketable. The
unfortunate experience OF the young
lady with sitting of eggs ought to
be a warning against counting any
thing until you can see 1t, at least

It is difficult to eradicate. 1t it is in
small quantity and in a favorable loca-

He was accompanied by the officials

as 1.-The most illustrious Dominican"
Gen. Gomez was much affected by
the reception. He said that he must
return to Cuba to complete the work OF
independence of that island. He ex-
pressed hope that peace would reign
in Santo Domingo and declared that
when he had finished his task in Cuba
he would return here and spend the
rest of his life.
He accepted the hospitality of club
and attended military concert and
ball tonight after which he left for

Chicago Kumor That the Duluth Man
VIII FIJI Second Place.
CHICAGO, May 6.-Thc Chronicle to-
morrow will say:
Bryan and Towne-that was the way
The probable Democratic, Populist and
Lincoln Republican national ticket was
framed up as the result of conference
yesterday afternoon between leaders OF
the three parties at the Sherman House.
The presidential nomination was not
discussed, as being a foregone conclu-
sion, but when the conferees had delved
into the puzzle of the vice-presidential
situation Chas. A. Towne of Duluth,
Mimi, stood on pinnacle of impor-
lance that dwarfed other possibilities.
The Populist representatives at the
conference were Senator Marion Butler
OF South Carolina, chairman of his
partys national committee; Gen. j. b.
weaver of Iowa and Congressman Geo.
Sioley OF Virginia. The Silver Repub-
means were represented by Senator
Pettigrew of South Dakota and ex-Sen-
ator Dubois of Idaho.
MIR. Towne, though chairman of the
Lincoln Republican national commit.
tee, did not attend the meeting, owing
to the position in which he stood re-
garding the matter under discussion.
The Democratic representatives at
the conference were Vice-Chairman
James G. johnson of the national COM
mittee, and Daniel j. Campau of De-
troit, national committeeman from
Michigan. Col. Bryan was not present.
II am not interested myself in the
vice-presidential nomination" he said.
II have seen the men of the three par
ties present in the city today, but l am
not saying anything regarding confer
ences. I'm going home for a two
months rest on my farm
The Populist plan does not contem-
plate the nomination of Mr.. Towne at
the national convention this week in
Sioux Falls, S. d. The program of the
leaders, SO far as leaders of the Popu-
lists can lay the work for convention,
contemplates the nomination of Bryan
without naming any one for second
place.
The convention, it was stated, would
be asked to name committee to attend
the Democratic and Silver Republican
conventions in Kansas City. This body
will be empowered to ratfy the nomi-
nation of the two parties, which are ex-
pected to agree on a national ticket;
but in case of their failure to put up
running mate for the Ne
braska statesman it will be authorized
TO name Populist candidate.
The object in giving such extensive
powers to committee, it was init
mated, was that the party might hold
/ club over the Democratic party to in
ure the reafirmation of the Chicago
platform. Assurances were declared !
o have been given that this would be
lone, in which case it was said nothing
TODD in the way of satisfactory fusion
# all three parties, thus avoiding the :
Tom Watson" mistake of 1896.
