City Is Decorated for the Coming Fu-
sion Populist Conventions.
Sioux Falls, S. d., May THE city
is rapidly filling up with the advance
guard of the national populist con-
iyention. Secretary Edgerton, of Den
Yer, of the sational committee; Chair
man ID. A. Mills and Secretary A. Is.
Gray, of the Colorado state committee,
have arrived and are arranging the
preliminarySide details.
Elaborate preparations have been
made for entertaining the large crowds
expected. Secretary Edgerton has ar
ranged so that only the ordinary rates
Will be charged at the hotels. running
from So to $3.50 a day. Word WAS re-
5ceived yesterday that the Pacific roads
had granted a one-fare round trip rate.
These We're the last roads to hold out.
The city is already gaily decorated
With every manner of bunting, flags.
streamers and portraits of leading fa-
Norites. Gas arches With varied lights
Span the streets and elaborate electric
designs. public and private, make the
might brilliant. A huge wigwam with
a capacity for seating 5000 has been
erected and gaily decorated and several
large halls have been deliberately ar
ranged for committee headquarters.
Information received from various
parts of the country leads to the belief
that the attendance will reach from Ia
400 to 10000. Nebraska Will send 500,
Kansas 200, Texas 100 more. Gen.
Weaver will head the big Iowa dalega-
'tion. Minnesota viii send a large train
load advocating the nomination of
Charles a. Towne for vice president.
The New York contingen is coming
ready TO make a big push for Congress-
man sulzer, and Illinois will favor II.
IS. Taylor. OF Chicago. 1t is conceded
that Bryan will be nominated for pres
Iident.
James H. Davis, OF Texas, is mos,
often mentioned for temporary chair
man. Senator Harris, of Kansas, is
prominently spoken Of for either tenn
Eporary or permanent chairman. The
convention will be called to order by
chairman Butler a 9 O'Clock Wednes-
day. 1t is likely that the time will be
fully occupied in committee ana con-
ference work until Thursday and pos
sibly Friday and it is not thought that
nominations Will be made before FRI
day.

Cincinnati, o., May 1.-The advance

the middle-of-the-rpad populists, which
meets here next Wednesday, afternoon.
arrived yesterday. They are all OPP
posed to fusion and almost everything
else that has APPROXIMATION with other
political parties. 10 "A. Parker. score

weeks in arranging for the convention
He was Joined BY many others yester-
day.
1T is we'll recognized by all people
said Secretary Parker, whether they
be populists or not. that the Cincinnati.
convention represents the real populst.
movement 1t is equally we'll known
that the Sioux Falls convention is sim
ply an adjunct to the democratic party.
This accounts for the unaninlity with,
which populists in every section have
repudiated the call for the latter con-
5vention and endorsed the Cincinnati;
tendance fully as great as the capacity.

The Sioux Falls convention can not
deliver vote2to Bryan that would not
go to him as the regular democratic
nominee. Any action that the Sioux
Falls convention may take Will only
embarrass Bryan and give his enemies
in the democratic party a chance to
hammer him. He would be much
stronger as thorough democratic can,
didate than as fusion candidate, and
IL the leaders of the Sioux Falls con-
vention were really for Bryan they
would go about the matter in way to
accomplish his election. They would
openly join the democratic party and
help to elect its nominees. But they
are not 30 much for Bryansas they are
for themselves. and they are working
the fusion racket more with an eye to
getting democratic support for the
state and other offices they hold and
expect to hold than for any love OF

of the passage by the hous of the army

is the artillery. and the number of men
to be added to that branch is only 5,47S

total strength of this branch Of the SER

STRIKE AND COAL SUPPLY.

Philadelphia, Sept. l5.-Now that the
coal market is face to face with a strike
in the upper anthracite region, the ans
wer to the question as to whether the
miners in the Schuylkill district will
strike sympathetically Is anxious,y
awaited. Should the trouble moi ex-
tend to the Schuylkill mines, no grave
coal famine is to be feared, though the
collieries there could fully meet the
normal demand. Speaking OF the stocks
of coal on hand in the Reading Com
pany's distributing depots, Vice Pres
ident Henderson said that there are
100000 at Port Richmond. The yer"
heaviest shipments from that port have
never exceeded that amount in a single
month. While there was no change in
the circular prices for coal at whole
sale at the mines yesterday, the indica-
tons were strong that an increase Is
to be expected in the next few days.
While orders for delivery in the next
few days were taken at the regular
prices in this city, some dealers took
advantage of the brisk demand and OBJ
tanned as high as so cents a ton advance
on coal for immediate delivery. At
the Reading Offices 1t was stated that
they are accepting orders at the civ
cular price, and that no advance has no
yet been asked.
