CHAIRMAN PLEADS FOR
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
Declares Recent Financial Panic
Was Caused by "Distrust OF
Well Known RasCdls"---
Currency Question Alb
serbs Attention.

st. Louis, April 2.-The national
Porulist convention accomplished
but little work this morning and the
nomination of national ticket will
probably not be accomplished until
late this evening, as a result of the
Bry an supporters seeking for post
pont ment of the convention until af-
ter the Republican and Democratic
conventions have been held.
The Bryan men renewed their eff
forts before the national COMMITTEES
this morning and made strong argu-
ments in favor of postponement.
Their work was without apparent eff
feet. save to delay the Convention.,
and 1t was nearly eleven o'clock be-
fore the delegates were finally call
ed to order.
For Government Ownership.
About 800 hundred delegates were
present. James II. Ferriss. chairman
of the national committee, addressed
the convention, giving the history OF
the Populist party from the time of
its organization down to the present.
He discussed the recent financial
panic, declaring that it was caused by
a general dlstrust of well known
rascals" He said that there can
never be permanent confidence with
out public ownership. With govern
| ment ownership of the public utili-
| ties, he said. there would be perfect
confidence in railroad securities, less
rotten politics, cheaper rat'roid rates
to shippers and many other public
benefits.
| Following Mr.. Ferriss' address ia
cob S. Coxey of Ohio was named
temporary chairman. He addressed
the convention. covering the leading
economical questions Of the day and
paying particular attention to the
currency question He devoted much
time to the advocacy OF the issue OF

TO SEND COMMISSION
BACKED BY A FLEET
Probably Nothing Will Be Done
While Congress Is in Session.
But Venezuela Must An
SWer for Treatment
Of United States.

Washington, April My pa
tience is exhausted and my temper,
too "
That was the way Secretary Root
answered a question as to the prob
able outcome of the controversy be-
tween this country and Venezuela.
The president is more vigorous in
his utterances and is known to be
angry clear through.
1t is known that in the correspond
ence that has passed between the
state department and President Cas-
tro the president of the South Amer
icar republic, mas assumed an atti-
tudt Of arrogant turbulence that has
been the despair of the American Of
fcials handling the case. He has
treated Secretar Root Minister Rus
sell and others with a contempt that
IS as irritating as it has been insult
ing.
He has not quibbled in using words
that in some quarters might be re-
garded as justification for blow.
Under these adverse circumstances
the government has maintained a
diSnificd attitude even. when the off,
cial letters from this government to
Minister Russell were intercepted and
read. when mail bags We're rified and
cables scrutiniged.
While the president will transmit
to Congress the papers in the con-
troversy with Venezuela, he will prob
ably not send any message. a mere
letter explaining certain facts prob
ably will speak for themselves. The
president, It is known, feels that he
cannot take drastic steps while Con-
ft,., ,Nrra,st nffna. lt
probably will ask Congress to auth
Ori2c "A commission to investigate the
questions at issue and then send this
commission back by a squadron. Its
report doubtless will be accepted, an
ultimatum delivered to Castro and
enforced by fleet.
part Of the program to make
Venezuela behave has been tentative
~ agreed on and includes:
70 place Il prohibition tariff upon
Venezuelan coffee. the exports o.
which constitute As per cent of tht
entire Venezuelan foreign trade, and
30 per cent Of the coffee is taken by
the United States
Exclude all importations of asphalt
from Lake Bermudez, the product q
which has been taken almost entirely
by the United States
Authorize the president to eXercis'
the general power invested in him tC
take whatever steps ne may consider
necessary to treat with Venezuela ii
the future.
Various attempts have been made
by preceding administrations to effec
a settlement of the American claims
but all of these attempts failed, anC
after a lapse of many months Secre'
tary Root felt bound again to striv,
TO reach an agreement.
