placed in the way of statehood in e.

istic view is not shared by those who
have sought to obtain expressions from
members of the Senate relative to pos
sible action by that body. The mem
hers of the Senate committee on terri
tories seems to be strongly antagon-
istic to separate statehood. as 1t was
presented in the Fifty-seyenth Con-
gress. and individual members, Beyer-

Senator Quay. who conducted the
fight for statehood in the last Congress.
is absolutely silent on the question
now At a recent conference between
him and President Roosevelt it is said
the statehood bills were discussed, but
If this is so. Senator Quay has not seen
fit to take any one into his confidence
relative to the result of his talk.
The proposition to combine Arizona
and New Mexico for admission as one
state. and Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory as another. meets with universal
opposition from citizens of these terri
tories. and from their delegates in
Congress. 1t is certain that proposi-
tions of this kind will be rejected, con
tinuance of territorial form of governA

Washington. Jan. 16.-What might
have developed into an unfortunate
misunderstanding between tbs govern
ments of the United States ana Rus

at a conference at the State Depart

As a result the Russian government

he has the best assurances that the in

JAPAN AND RUSSIA
STILL NEGOTIATE

London. Jan. lin what It asserts
to be an authoritative statement. the
Graphic this morning announces that
the negotiations have arrived at a
stage leaving two points upon which
neither Russia nor Japan is inclined to
yield. and as TO which no means of
compromise have yet been found. Both
these points concern Manchuria. and
their acceptance would not in the
slightest modify the legal status quo
or change the administrative situation
in Manchuria, but japan insists that
they be embodied in treaty between
Japan and Russia, while Russia. as a
matter OF amour propre. refuses to ac-
cept such dictation at the hands of
Japan. Much. however. is still hoped
from the Cars influence"
The statement adds:
of course any attempt OF Russia to
increase very largely her naval forces
in the East by moving her Black Sea
or Baltic fleets would make war a
question of only few hours"
This statement seems to be borne out
by the Associated Press report from
Toxic yesterday that Japan had re-
ceived Russia's communication saying
=hat Russia would respect the rights
and privileges already acquired by the
powers in the case of the establish
ment of foreign settlements, which
shows that negotiations are row con-
5inuing on the question of Manchuria.
The Times Toxic correspondent says
that in recent speeches by publicists
the claim was made that Japan is fight
ing for Anglo-Saxon ideals in Asia, in
stead of military despotism. and that
the Toxic journals rejoice that Amer
ica is now in the same camp with
Japan"

After this recess was taken to al
low the different congressional dis
tricts to select each eight delegates to
attend the national convention at
Springfield When again called to
order the delegate names were re-
ported as printed elsewhere in this re-
port.
The First, Second, Fourth, and
Fifth districts having made no selec-
ton of alternates. they are empowered
to select alternates-each delegate his
alternate. A motion was passed en-
powering those present from Nebraska
to cast the whole 4S votes. Adjourned
sine die.
A glance at the roll call shows As
counties represented-or just half the
state. This must be regarded as an
evidence that the peoples party still
lives In Nebraska, Notwithstanding
there have been some vigorous efforts
to Kill II in a number OF the conn-
ties. When we consider the present
busy season and the fact that nothing
was to be done except To elect ma
tionai delegates. even the croakerx
must admit that the peoples party. IL
dead. Is a remarkably lively corpse.

cess was taken at once. 1t was grand
victory for economic determinism."
Populists are noted for their love Of
disputation-but an empty belly speaks
louder than head full to burshting
wild oratory."
The night session began with mu-
sical program of several numbers.
fhe Fremont people had filed the gal
leries and, with the 23O or $50 dele
gates present, made up very appre-
ciative audience. Bro. Tibbles was
never happier. He was wreathed in
smiles. His daughter. Mrs. j. Allen
Barris, the gifted soprano. who had
interpreted her fathers song, "Ne-
braska,' at the afternoon session, re-
galed the audience with some classic
music, and Miss May Belle Hagenow
of Lincoln gave two numbers, one a
piano and the other violin solo.
1t was rather unique program for
a political convention, especially the
high class music and singing. The
republicans are noted for diversions
to entertain their delegates, but these
usually consist of songs by darkey
quartette-shreWd thing, Of course. be-
cause they thus show their admiration
for the ''nigger" by letting him amuse
them with his monkey-shines and
songs.
Craddock of Lancaster moved a vote
of thanks to the ladies and gentle
men of Fremont, the chorus, and Mrs.
j. Allen Barris, for the entertainment
of songs this afternoon and evening;
and to Miss May Belle Hagenow of
Lincoln for music rendered to the
convention" This carried with q

long discussion Dy the INTRODUCTION OF
the following resolution:
Resolved, That it is the sense Of
this convention that the peoples par
ty ought to place in nomination its
own candidates for president and vice
president of the United States, and
likewise party candidates for presidcn-
tial electors"
Thomas of Douglas moved adoption
of the resolution. Eager of Lancaster
moved to divide the motion into two
paragraphs, deferring action regard
ing the part referring to the nomina-
ton of electors until the first part
should be acted upon. Senator Allen
consented to this division.
A Colfax delegate moved to table
the resolution, but later withdrew his
motion. Quinby Of Douglas opposed
the resolution because it is indefinite
and, besides, he greatly feared that
some mortal injury might be done the
democratic party If the populists were
TO be so presumptious as to think of
nominating their ''OWn candidates. =
That is not verbatim report of his
speech, but it expresses his thought
Lew Beltzer, whose only rival in
the matter of voice is Worsley, the
human fOg-hOrn,' thought the whole
matter was unnecessary. Simply elect
48 pOpulists to go to Springfield and
let them act. They would know what
to do
At this juncture, Sheldon of Lam
caster moved to amend by inserting

and the word for" Senator Allen
then stated his position. He had
voted twice for Mr.. Bryan he would
do it again it opportunity offered He
had always favored corporation with
the reform democrats of Nebraska
he favored it now But he believed
the time had come when the peoples
party must take Independent action
nationally, or cease to exist as par
ty. 1t waS certainly clear now, as it
has been for two years past, that the
Bryan democracy has lost control of
the democratic party machinery; and
while he would unhesitatingly vote for
Mr.. Bryan, not only because of his
eminent fitness, but also on account Of
state pride, he declined to permit Mr..
Bryan to point out some other demo-
crat for which he (Allen) should vote.
A motion to take a recess until 8
O'Clock failed to carry, and Thomas of
Douglas expressed his views. He fav-
ored independent action, but, at the
same time, wanted some practical
sense used. II the Bryanites were to
be thrown over the transom at st.
Louis we at Springfield should be
ready to welcome them. He feared
that there would be an effort at

wondered what all this talk about the
democratic party had to do in a pop
