BE GIVEN 4 TRIAL

Three Months Test in Convey
ing Mails from Depots.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-The report of
the committee of postal experts. which in
vestigated the conditions affecting the
wagon and transfer service at the Chicago
postoffice and the various railway stations
and the better facilities needed in the new

and transportation of mails by the Illinois
Telephone and Tunnel Company in their
tunnel be given an experimental test serv-
ice between the Union and the Northwest
ern Railroad depots for not less than three
months, without expense to the Postoffice
Department and If improvement in time
and efficiency is shown and the company
will agree to contract to carry the mails
between the general postoffice and the six
railway depots at no greater expense than
under the present competitive system by
horses and wagons that the tunnel system
be adopted as part of the Chicago postal
service.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-There is au-
thority for the statement that Bryan and
Hearst and possibly Charles Towne were
potent factors in inducing the old Popu-
list leaders to get together again for ma
tional convention this year, just preceding
the Democratic national convention. The
Populists have decided to hold their con-
vention in Springfield, H., on July 4. while
the Democrats will meet in st. Louis on
July 6. 1t is understood the Populists will
await the nominations in the Democratic
convention after adopting their own plat
form. some of the planks of which will be
urged for adoption in the Democratic plat
form. The ''mddle-of-the-road" faction
and the 'fusionist'' faction will meet to-
gether in the POpulist convention and 1t is
evident that there is good political direction
went TO North Carolina, which was the
strongest Populist State in 1896, and it is
known he has advised the Populists to
get together and be In a position to make
terms with the Democrats.
According to a report here, however,
there is more than this in the background,
involving. it is believed, the intention of
Bryan and Hearst and their following to
bolt the Democratic ticket if any man like
Cleveland or Parker or German is nOmi-
mated for President, and to co-opera te
actively in the Populist campaign The
Bryan-Hearst element. il is said, Is deter
mined that it will not support any candi-
date of the Eastern reOrganizers" for the
presidency or a platform in opposition to
the Chicago and Kansas City platforms of
Bryan's creation. They will demand the
selection of some man of their own like
for the presidency. and if they cannot get
him in the Democratic convention, they
will have him nominated by the Populists
and make a three-cornered fight.

ISLE OF PINES TREATY
NOT MUCH AFFECTED
Failure of Senate to Ratify 1t Does
Not in Any Way Impair
Its Purpose.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The expiration
of the period allowed for ratification of
the Isle of Pines treaty does not seriously
affect the treaty if there is any real dis
position on the part of the Senate to ratify
it, Senior Quesada. the Cuban minister,
was at the State Department to-day con-
ferring with the officials as to the status of
not only this but of the Cuban general
treaty The latter is in no possible danger,
as the period of time allowed for ratifica-
ton will not expire during the present
Congress. But in the case of the Isle of
Pines treaty, which lapsed on the 7th of
the present month, an amendment in the
nature OF a protocol must be reported If
the convention is to be saved The State
Department holds that where a treaty is
pending in the Senate. in this case. the
Senate may, by an amendment such pro-
iected change the dates set for ratifica-
ton. This involves some delay. for similar
action probably will be required on the
part of the Cuban government. But this
course will be pursued and the protocol
will be signed in the course of day two.
The State Department holds itself blame
less in this matter. as the treaty has been
in the hands of the Senate for many
months.

Left to Secretary.
WORK OF THE SENATE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-The House
passed the naval appropriation bill to-day
after having 1t under consideration for a
week There was a party contest on a
number of propositions during the day, es-
peciaIly effort of different minority
members TO secure an amendment to fix the
price of armor plate at the figure bid by
the Midvale Steel Company. Several amend
ments were ruled out On points of order,
and then the Republican leaders, by slillful
parliamentary tactics, left the matter Of
armor plate in the discretion of the secre-
tary of the navy
An Intellectual attempt was made TO have
the eight-hour law applied TO all ship con-
struction- The contest over submarine
boats was quite exciting, and an amend
ment finally was adopted which leaves the
question of the type of boat open, but in
creases the amount of the appropriation
for such boats. The minority failed to Sc
cure a record vote on the proposition to re-
commit with instructions, the proposed in
structions being declared out Of order.
