Washington, May Sat the opening
OF the house today Dalzell, Of PennsyI-
vania, brought forward the report Of
the ways and means committee, recon-.
mending that the Tawney resolution
calling upon the secretary Of the treas
ury for the amount and character OF
material used in the manufacture OF
oleomargarine, as shown by the record
Of the internal revenue bureau, be laid
on the table. Tawney, of Minnesota.
and Dolliver. Of Iowa. signed a minori-
| ty report in favor of the adoption Of the
ltresolution. Dalzell contended that the
ldivulgence of the information would
subject the secretary to the penalties
Imposed by section 3,1s7, which imposes
upon any officer Of the government dis
vulging the style of work or apparatus
of any manufacturer visited by him in
the discharge Of his duty a fine of H.

All lTnlk at Present Centered on the
Vice Presidency.
Sioux Falls, May s.-There are prob
ably 300 delegates to the populist cor-
vention here at noon today. All inter-
est centers upon the nomination for
vice president, but there can not vet
be said to be any crystalized sugges-
ton as to the most desirable plan to
pursue. There are hints that Gen.
Weaver may be named for the place.
The name OF DIR. Taylor, of Chicago, is
occasionally mentioned. Today arrivals
brought the suggestion of the name OF
E. Gerry Brown, of Massachusetts. So
far, however, as individuals are con-
cerned, there is still more talk OF
5Towne, silver republican. than any one
else. But upon the whole the delegates
seem to favor the plan of making nc
nomination, leaving the matter OF de-
Gliding upon candidate to q committee
to be appointed to confer with the dem
ocrats and silver epublicans. It is stat
ed by those who have a goolopportun-
ity of knowing that the plan originated
with BRYAN himself.

with the understanding that the bill
should remain in the senate committee
and not be reported back until definite
action had been taken upon the Hay
Pauncefote treaty. This would mean
in effect that the canal bill would lie
over until the next session.
AT an executive meeting of the senate
committee today so strong a sentiment

the administrative leaders are seriously
concerned.

Washington. May s.-The only mat
ter of interest before the cabinet meet
ing today was the alleged shortage in
accounts of Charles r. Neeley, former
treasurer Of the postoffice department
in Cuba. Neeley was arrested In
Rochester. The question arose whether
the United States or Cuba is responsi-
Bile for the defalcation. II seems to be
the opinion of the members Of the cabi-
net that this government is responsible
for the shortage and can proceed
against Neeley's bondsmen for the
amount involved. It is practically set
tied that Neeley will be taken back q
Havana for trial before the civil tribu-
nal.
