BUTLER TO ISSUE THE CALL.
General Impression Regarding the
POpuIist National Convention.

LINCOLN, Neb., February ia few ad-
ditional members of the populist national
committee arrived this morning but the
representation for this afternoons meet
ing will fall far short OF the early esti-
mates. A conference began in Chairman
Buffers room at the hotel shortly before
noon in an effort to harmonic the two
factions.
The southern delegates. particularly those
from Texas, said today they would be sat
isfed with nothing less than Independent
action. and that In this their strongest sup
porters are from Kentucky and Ohio The
general opinion this morning of the action
of the committee was that Chairman But
Ter will be empowered to call the national
convention for the same time and place
as the democrats

THE SHIPPING BILL.
Steps to Be Taken to Bring Senate and
House Committees Into Harmony.

Steps to Be Taken to Bring Senate and
House Committees Into Harmony.
The republican members Of the House
committee on merchant marine and fisher
les resumed their conference today with q
view to reconciling some differences which
have developed on proposed amendments Of
the shipping bill. Senator Hanna, Presi-
dent Grscom of the International Steam
Clyde line of steamers were present by
invitation. The four members who have
drafted a number of changes-Representa
tves Minor, Jones of Washington, Stevens
and Fordnay-submtted the amendments.
and also the outline of substitute bill
embodying the changes.
The discussion which followed showed all
agreed on a bill favorable to the merchant
marine, the difference being on the meth
eds of accomplishing this end.
As one Of the proposed amendments was
directed against subsidies to old and I'M
serviceable ships, Messrs. Griscom and
Clyde explained that this could be obviated
by classifying ships as AL, Al. &C., and
by the register, would then determine
whether it should come within the subsidy
act.
This was favorably received by those who
had urged change on this point, and 1t
will probably be accepted in the final draft
In order to consider this and all other
questions of differences, 1t was finally de-
cided to have subcommittee from the Sem
ate and House confer. The four members
above named are understood to consti
tute the House conferees and they will meet
with Senators of the commerce committee
tomorrow Out of this it is hoped that CO.
operation will be established between both
houses on the form which the bill is to take.

COLD SPELL IN NEW YORK.
Considerable Suffering Among the
Poor i'm Consequence.


NEW YORK, February 19.-The con-
tinued cold weather following the snow
storm of Saturday and yesterday caused
but little delay in the general resumption OF
business. All the trains were running as
usual, but the ice in the rivers caused some
delay to ferry boats and shipping. The ice
filled the slips and docks and made land
ing rather difficult.
The mails resumed their wonted regu-
larity. The street cleaning department had
cleared much of the snow from the lower
portion of the city and big gang was put
to work this morning in the uptown dis
tricts. Doubly as much work, as expressed
in actual loads of snow removed in New
York, was done during the twenty-four
hours beginning yesterday morning at
o'clock as was ever done before in the
first twentyfour hours after snowfall.
Only a few loads short of an even $4,000
were removed. Something like $500 carts
were hired, besides the ones used by the
department. Over 1900 men were employed
as shovelers during the day, and an aver
age of $50 men during the two night shifts.
The men are worked in eight-hour shifts
and get 50 for the eight hours work.
The outdoor poor department of the city
charities department was besieged by poor
people today for assistance. This was par
ticularly true of the fuel supply depart
ment and the dispensary.

Nd, Under Arrest.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
FREDERICK, Nd. February 19-Daniel
Smith, seventy years old, was arrested last
night at his home at Wolfsville. this
county. charged with numbering his wife
by administering poison in some pudding
which she had for supper on Wednesday
evening last. Mrs. Smith, after eating sup
per, went to the home of her daughter.
Mrs. Case, who lives near her, to help nurse
one of her children who was sick Shortly
after she arrived she was taken ill and
vomited frequently. She tlied about 3
o'clock Thursday morning in great agony.
DIR. Lamar, who was present, could not
diagnose the case and could not tell the
cause of death. Much comment was caused
in the community, and suspicion fell upon
Smith, and finally became so strong that
he was arrested and lodged in jail in Fred
erick. States Attorney Worthington, in
company with the prisoner and coroner,
will visit the house where Mrs Smith died,
and take testimony before having the body
exhumed.
Smith was seen at the Jail this morning.
and protested his innocence with tears
streaming down his wrinkled face. Smith
was tried in the Frederick county court for
the murder of man named Osborne about
twenty years ago. He is a brother of Fred
erick Smith. who was hung in Hagerstown
about thirty years ago for the murder Of
Miss Agnes Tracy, who refused to marry
him.

INVESTIGATING GEN. MERRIAM.
Conduct During Idaho Mining TrOu-
e bies to Be Ta@en Up by Committee.


The investigation of charges as to the
under Brigadier General Merriam during
the Idaho mining troubles last summer
began today before the House committee
on military affairs.
The comMttee room was crowded with
those who have been prominent in the af-
fair. including Governor Steunenberg of
Idaho. State Auditor Sinclair, General Mer-
Ram. ex Master Workman Sovereign of the
Knights of Labor. E. ]. Flanagan of the
Idaho legislature and a magistrate at Null
Ian. Idaho, and a considerable delegation of
miners from the Occur d'Alene district.
The entire time was consumed in dis
cussing the manner of procedure, and on
this some sharp differences developed be-
tween members of the committee. Several
members wanted Representative Lentz, who
started the inquiry, 10 act as complainant
and prosecutor, but he declined to accept
this position and urged that there should
be free and full investigation. He said
there was no partisdnship in the investi-
CATION, and he merely wished TO get at the
charges, which labor organizations regarded
as very serious and which were widely
made in the .ress-
Representative Marsh of Illinois also
urged that as MIR. Lentz had formulated
the charges he should proceed in his own
way. There should be the fullest investi-
CATION, 80 that IL could not be said any
thing was snlothered.'
Chairman Hull did not think the COM
mittee should abdicate its functions to Mr.
LentZ.
Mr. Marsh resented this remark as a mis-
representation Of his position and Mr.. Hull
lisavowed any such purpose.
A resolution by Mr.. Hay of Virginia that
the complaining witnesses be first exam
ined was debated at length and without
result The committee adjourned until to-
har, In tod
line CT procedure will be adopted and the
