large in the Democratic convention,
but whoever wins the result will be the
same. Whoever gets a place on the
Nebraska delegations will be for Will
liam j. Bryan. The PopUlists have a
squabble of their own to settle over the
delegation from Omaha, Douglass
county. Two sets of delegates are
coming TO town tomorrow from Omaha
One is the -middle-Of-the-road'' fac
ton, led by National Committeeman D.
Glen Beaver, and the other the fusion
lists, headed by E. E. Thomas. The
Beaver men withdrew from the county
convention yesterday and formed a del
egation of their own.
I'VE won't try the case until we hear
it," said Governor POynter today, but
if the facts are as have been repre-
scented, L guess there is no doubt that
Mr.. Beaver and his delegation will go
over the transom."
Delegates For Bryan.
Governor Poynter declared that there
is no doubt whatever that the POpu-
list convention would send a delega-
ton to Sioux Falls instructed for Mr.
Bryan.
Much interest is manifested regard
ing the platform to be adopted by the
drawn up under the personal supervi-
sion of Mr.. Bryan, and is understood
TO be his declaration of the platform
which, in his opinion, the national
convention at Kansas City should place
beneath the feet Of its presidential
nominee. The platform tomorrow will
be an affirmation of the Chicago plat
form, will contain planks antagonistic
to the trusts, declaring against the for
nation of a large standing army
against the foreign policy Of the pres
ent administration.
At present it is not the intention of
the free silver Republicans to hold a
convention tomorrow, although it may
be so determined later. The probable
ity is, however, that simply meeting
will be held and the candidacy of Mr.
Bryan endorsed.
After the adjournment of the cOnVen-
tons. Mr.. Bryan will deliver an adj
dress in the auditorium. Preparations
are being made to render it a notable
event. in view of the fortieth anniver
cary of Mr.. Bryan'S birth.

Since then there has been little or no

Tonight, however, Littlejohn and his
wife, the latter carrying their baby,
met Pooley on the street. The quarrel
was renewed and Littlejohn knocked
Pooley down and, according to the lat

john. One shot struck Littlejohn in the
body. He died in a few minutes. The
other shot missed the intended victim
and struck Mrs. Littlejohn in the head
She died after being removed to the

Proposals Fail.
After meeting in separate conferences
al the afternoon the manufacture and
the labor leaders began a joint meeting at
p. m, at which the manufacturers sub
mitted to the machinists q proposal for
arbitration. They asked that all strikes
and lOckOuts be called off pending the
arpitratlon Of the difficulties by com
mituee consisting of the presidents of the
two organizations and two members from
each association whose decision shall be
accepted as final.
On the second proposition the two asSO-
Citations We're united. The labor leaders
refused to agree to the first proposition
and submitted demand for immediate
and separate arbitration of the Chicago
difficulties This the manufacturers re
fused to ratify. and the conference broke
up, both sides making what amounted to
formal declaration OF war. The declar-
alton OF the machinlSts took the form OF
threats OF an inte-na tional strike made
by President O'Conneu and Organizer
Reed.
Negotiations Are Off.
The manufacturers then presented their
side of the question in ( set of resolutions
in which they declared that 1.-The form
adopted by the administrative council Of
the National Metal Trades association and
presented TO the executive officers Of the
International Association of Machinists is
the best and only proposition which the
National Metal Trades association has to
make, and that the committee again pre-
sents the agreement of the executive COM
mitJee to the International Association of
MachinlStS and requests them to accept
the same by affiXing their official sigma
lures and notify them that this assOcia-
tion is ready to sign the agreement jointly
with them"
The union of the International Associa-
ton Of MachiniSts met today and en-
dorsed the action of the officers.
In view of the failure of all efforts for
a settlement for a nachinists strike,
National President James O'ConneIl an
nOunced tonight that the last details of
plans for calling a national strike this
week of 10000 union machinists were be-
ing perfected.
