termined upon last night at the meet
ing of the national committees here.
The national committee of the mid

A. Parker, of Louisville, KY, is chair
man, met in the Southern hotel yes

mittee, Of which J. H. Edmiston, Of
Lincoln, Neb., is chairman, met In the
St James hotel. The sessions contin-
ued late last night and committees
from both national committees were
frequently in conference. The fusion
lists desired to hold the convention in
St Louis about the time Of the ma
tional democratic convention in July.
but the middle-of-the-road wing was
equally determined in the opinion that
the convention should be held outside
Of St Louis and prior to the national
democratic convention. The fusionists
finally conceded the question of a meet
ing place. and 1t was decided to hold
the national convention either In In
dianapolis or Springfield, Ill. Agree
ment upon the date of the convention

named are to be settled to-day.

POPULISTS FINALLY AGREE.


st. Louis, Feb 24.-After two days
and two nights Of animated discussion
by national committees, representing
the fusion and the middle-of-the-road
wings of the populist party, in an en-
deavor to agree upon place and date
for holding the national convention,
schisms were finally healed and DIFF
ferences smoothed over and the two
political factions late last night agreed
to hold, in joint convention, the peo.
pies party national convention In
Springfield, ILL.,, on July 4. J. A. Par,
ker, Of Louisville, chairman Of the mid
dle-of-the-roaders, and J. H. Edmin-
ston, of Lincoln, Neb., chairman Of the
fusionists, asserted that all party diff
ferences were now things of the past
and the national convention would
nominate straight populist ticket. The
nominees of the national convention
will be submitted to the people Of the
party for direct Endorsement. This Is
to prevent any packing Of the con-
vention," observed Chairman Parker.
The fusionist committee adjourned
late yesterday, having accepted an
overture from the middle-of-the-road-
ers to hold joint convention in
Springfield ILL.,, on July 4, and left the
matter in Tie hands of a committee of
three to report to the middle-of-the-
road committee. The latter committee
reconsidered the proposition and re-
fused to share 1t. Finally, after much
discussion and the voting down of a
motion to hold separate convention
In st. Louis on June IA, the Springfield
Joint convention proposition was again
taken up and, on motion, carried. A
Joint call will be issued to-day.

bridges have been destroyed between
Hardin and Vladivostock II the latter
report is true 1t would be great adj
vantage of the Japanese, as Vladivos-

resist a Japanese attack. There Is
still, however, no news of actual opera
tions of any kind.
