BUFFERS STATEMENT.
The chairman OF the National Committee
OF the Peoples Party Talks About the
Party's Nominations

Washington, May Ex-senator But
Ter, chairman of the national COM
mittee of the peoples party, was
asked yesterday if it was true as has
been reported, that both Mr. Bryan
and Mr.. Towne had expressed a pref
erence that the peoples party nation
al convention should not nominate a
vice presidential candidate. He re-
piled:
II have been told that it is true,
but 1t was the Judgment of the con-
vention that the best way to elect
both of them was to nominate. 1t
must be remembered that neither Mr..
Bryan nor Mr.. Towne is intimately
acquainted with the present situation
as to the populist vote of the country.
Mr. Bryan could not be elected by
disbanding or appearing to disband
the organization of the peoples par
ty. To have done so would have lost
him ten populist votes for every gold
democratic vote that he would have
won back to him. In short, the con-
vention did the thing that was neces-
sary to be done to insure the election
of Mr.. BRYAN"

TRANSIT COMPANY'S STRIKE.


st. Louis, May 1.-THE eyes of the
public and strikers alike were TO-
cused yesterday on the conference
called to effect a settlement of the
differences existing between the St.
Louis Transit company and the griev-
ance committee of its small army of
strikers. The conference was in SEES
sion from early in the afternoon un-
til 9:15 O'Clock at night and at its
conclusion members of the griev-
ance committee announced that an
agreement had been reached with
the railway officials, but that they
were not in a position to announce
its terms til the compact had
been ratified by the executive COM
mittee of the striking employees The
executive committee was in session
at Walhalla hall waiting develop
ment in the conference and the
grievance committee at once hurried
thither and both committees went in
to secret session. Afterwards the
executive committee rejected the
agreement and the strike is still on.
