Eulogizes Silver Champion - Brief
Sketch Of Populist Party.
Sioux FALLS, 8. D., May II. - The
attendance of visitors at the beginning
OF the session of the Populist convention
was limited.
There was an air Of expectancy from
the beginning, the feeling being general
that this would be the big day. Not
only were the reports of committees ex.
pected, but Mr.. Bryan was to be placed
III nomination and the question of the
vice presidency was to be taken ND.
There was an evident desire on the part
OF all present to catch everything from
the beginning and to remain, 50 as to
be in at the finish.
The committee ON credentials pre-.
sented its report, declaring that there
were no contesting delegations and
recommending that Missouri's vote be
increased by two, that of Ohio two votes
and that Of South Dakota three votes.
The report was adopted without dis.
senting vote.
The committee on permanent organ.
1zatlOn presented the name of Thomas
NJ. Patterson of Colorado for permanent
chairman. Mr.. Patterson was greeted
with applause.
In accepting the position of perma-
nent chairman Mr.. Patterson COM
menced by stating that lie would so far
as was III his power rule the convention
with justice to all. He then briefly
sketched the history of the Populist
party and the cause which led up to it's
organization.
The speaker gave a short history of
the financial legislation of congress dur
ing the last administration of President
Cleveland and that of President Nc
Kinley.
He then gave history Of the early
successes of the Peoples party, and
went on:
"To check the progress of the People's
party throughout the south the Demo
crats OF that section incorporated into
tneir own creed all the cardinal prin-
clples OF the Populist platform of nearly
four years ago.
"What is the outlook" asked the
speaker, ''fOr the coming presidential
election? cannot doubt the outcome.
We will go before the country as we did
before, with what the people professed
and under the leadership Of William j.
Bryan" Cheers.]
Mr.. Patterson then entered upon an
extensive eulOgy Of Mr.. Bryan as man,
a statesman and a soldier during the
war.

STRIKE Is DECLARED OFF.
Joliet Contractors Claim Victory Of
Building Trades Council.

JOLIET, Ills, May 1.-The building
trades strike i'll Joliet, inaugurated April
l, has been officially ended. The union
carpenters, who were the last to hold
out, have declared the strike off and are
ready to return to work. The bricklay-
ers, stone masons, painters, plumbers
and timers came to terms some time
ago.
The conclusion of the strike is de-
clared a victory for the master con-
tractors. The strike affected between
600 and 500 men and tied up all building
operations III Joliet for several weeks.

ST. LOUIS AT THE
MERCY OF STRIKERS
Trouble on Street Railways
Has Paralyzed Business.
MERCHANTS MAY CLOSE

Keeping Their Stores Open Is Useless
Expense - Suburban System Runs
Few Cars Under Police Protection.
Militia Called Out.
ST. LOUIS, May 11.-This is the third
day Of the street railway strike and
traffic over the various lines of the St.
Louis Transit company's system was at
standstill. The mail cars, however,
are running over all the lines without
interf renee. Most of the cars on the
Suburban system are running with po-
lice protection. Officers were stationed
on every car and along the right of way,
to guard against interference. No dis
turbance has been reported since last
night, when Frank Lebrecht, an inno-
cent bystander, was shot and killed at
Taylor avenue crossing Of the Suburban
tracks.
Less than the usual number of Cars are
run under police protection by the Su-
bur5an system. Policemen were sta
toned on each csr, but the number of
passengers was comparatively small.
! President Whitaker said unless protec-
tion is afforded the Transit company ON
all its lines no attempt will be made to
run cars.
The First regiment, Missouri National
guard, has been ordered out, but a COM
pany is being kept at the armory con-
stantly to protect the states property
from possible violence.
Down town retail stores are operating
at enormous loss as result of the strike.
Their proprietOrs and managers are talk
ing of reducing their forces of employees
and even of closing entirely until the
strike is settled, if existing conditions
continue. Almost every store down
town is practically deserted, save by
employees.
The situation has quieted down sufl-
ciently for heads of establishments to
discuss among themselves what steps
they may take to encourage an early
settlement Of the trouble, but so far no
conclusion has been reached. The effect
of the strike will also, it is stated, be
felt in the east, for while the stagnation
OF business continues no orders are be-
ing sent out for goods and the buyers
| employed by st. Louis establishments
are finding themselves with nothing TO
busy. Meanwhile the depression will
extend to a variety Of local industries,
which are dependent Oh the retail houses
for support.
Governor Stephens has arrived in st.
Louis. The governor stated he had
come to st. Louis to personally look
over the strike situation and confer with
the police board as to the best means of
suppressing outbreaks. He had no def
mite plans for controlling these out
breaks, however.
Governor Stephens fears that if the
Transit company attempted to operate
Its lines serious trouble might ensue.
AT noon, after two hours confer
ence, it was decided to apply for war
rants for the arrest of the strike leaders.
The charge alleged against them is that
they are interfering with the operation
of the Transit company's lines.
