Sioux Falls, May 10-The national
convention of the peoples party be-

big tent wigwam on the west side of
the city. There were probably 500
delegates, and surrounding them a
fringe of alternates, the visitors num-
bering from 600 to 800 United States
Senators Butler, Allen and Heitfeld
received liberal greeting, while Sena-
tor Pettigrew was overwhelmed with
the welcome accorded him. There
was also generous applause when the
name of Bryan was mentioned by
speakers. Many sentiments were
cheered to the echo. notably Governor
Lees reference to the beers and Fill
pinos Colorado led the list in the
number of female delegates, there be-
ing three from that state.
trict of Columbia also sent
lady delegates, who took their places
as if accustomed to participating in
public affairs Chairman Butler
brought the convention to order and
introduced Bishop O'Gorman, who

kota. He was given close attention,

His allusion to Bryan brought
the delegates to their feet
in hurricane of cheers and wav-

down, a Kansas delegate proposed

will Senator Butler responded for
the convention. At the conclusion OF

ARMOR PLANT DEBATE.
Senate Devotes Day to Discussing
National Manufacture.

Washington, May 1O.-Practically
he entire session of the senate was de-
voted to the section Of the naval ap-
preparation bill relating to armor arm
ament. The debate largely hinged on
the proposition that the government
should erect an armor plant of its
own. Senator Tillman presented an
amendment limiting the price to be
paid for armor to $500 per ton and
providing also that the government
should erect a plant of it's own. SEN
ators Tillman, Money and Chandler
advocated the erection of the plant
while Senator Hale supported the
committee amendment providing for d
plant in the contingency that armor
could not be procured for $445 per tom.
No action was taken, the bill going
over until today.
The house considered the contested
election case of Pearson VS.. Crawford
from the ninth North Carolina dis
trict. The report of the majority
was against the Sitting member, a
democrat, on the general ground that
Pearson's election was prevented by
fraud, intimidation, bribery and blood
shed. The minority denied all allega-
tons of the majority. The debate
was on party lines.
