campaign,
. Ilntler .nnil Al.n Dlnnnre,!-. ,
In thin position Senator Allen Is sharply
antagonized by Senator Butler of North
Carolina and Senator Pcttlgrow of this stato.
it may be eald, In fact, that the Unltctl
States senators who are' present are leading
conflicting opinions on, this all-absorbing
question and it begins to look ns It they
would carry their, differences, into tho con
vention ltBClf.
In case they do the convention will bo by
no means a monotonous affair. Thomas M.
Patttson of tho Colorado delegation Is a
zealous supporter of tho proposition to name
a commltteo of conference and not to name
a vice presidential candidate. Ho Is an ex
perienced and tactful parliamentarian and
will bring much- strength .to that sldo of
tho controversy In case It should bo opened
up In the convention. Tho Colorado delega
tion, numbering thirty-eight members, held
a meeting today and unanimously decided
to stand out for a. conference committee,
Butler and Pcttlgrow nro unquestionably
exerting their utmost endeavors In behalf of'
Towno and whllo they approclato that there
aro still many obstacles to overcome they
express themselves In private conversation
as very confident of succes's.
VotltiK on Triiln from Oninhn.
Ono straw showing the way tno wind blow's
is found In a voto whl?h was taken on, tho
special train ccailng from Omaha this morn
ing. Two cars containing sixty-eight dele
gates wefo canvassed nnd of tho sixty-eight
votes cast fifty-eight were fayorablo to
Towne. There Is, however, among thoso vvh'o
believe In tho wisdom of nominating a can
dldato somo opposition to Mr. Towner.
Thore In a certain element, .led hy Gen
eral Weaver of Iowa, which Is advocating
tho nomination cf a straight popullnt, whllo
there aro others still who oxpres tho opin
ion 'that If n -candidate other than a nopullot
Is to bo nominated ho should be a man of
democratic proclivities o oa to make sure
of his endorsement by tho democratic con
vention. In this contention nmo of tho
Illinois delegate! have suggested former
Vlco President Adlaf E, Stevenson. There
Is also present u. man from Ne'w York, who
la circulating very Industriously among tho
delegates in tho Interest of Congrcesman
Sulzer. Ho assures them that Mr. Sulzer
Is In accord with many of the 'popullatlc
vlows nnd eloquently pleads tho cause of
his champion,
Tho friends of Stevenson cnll attention -to
tho fact that ho has not only once been
elected vice president, but that ho has also
mado a record ns a greenbackcr. Towne's.
supporters meet thae arguments by. point
ing to his record aa n silver advocate and
assert that ho would make, a campaign equal
to that of Bryan himself.. Tljey aro mot
on this point hy the argument that tho
domocrato would ncrvor accept him as a
nominee because of 'his republican pro
clivities. Wnnt Severnl fnnillilnt c .nmeil.
Still another proposition which ban
been mndo and ndvocate'd' 'by petegates
Washburn and BrcVw'n of' Massachusetts Is
that the convention 'should' nomlnato sov-'
oral persons, nny ono of wliom Vould be ac
ceptable to tho populists as a vice presiden
tial candidate and app"dlh"t a' commltteo to
confer with the democrats "ns 'to whlsh of
them should bo placed upon the 'tlokct. This
proposition Is apparently gaining. In favor,
but Is not yet ns , strong as elth'er' tho. sug
gcatlon. Jn ,Towne.'s .he)ialf q.r tho ' ono to
avoid any nomination whnle'vf. " "
Some of the delegatus, ri6ta'bly those frOoi.
Nebraska 'ffntl" MUfriurl, hre-'prbposlng that
the convention aa a whole should adjourn
Immediately after convening to meet in
Kansas City on the same day that the dem
ocratic and silver republican conventions ',
arc to assemble thcro.
"If we aro to have a commltteo on con
ference," said a Mlsaouri dolefeato In dis
cussing tho proposition, "why not have
tho whole convention act In tha capacity?"
Would Adjourn in Kiiiimiis CJt'.
"For my own part," ho continued, "I can
see no reason for holding tho convention in
ndvanco of tho democratic convention hud,
having made a mistake) In calling It s'o early,
I think tho best way' to correct that error
would be to transfer the entire convention to
Kansas City and have It meet th're the
other conventions to bo held In Mr,' Bryhn's
behalf." '
Ho went on to say that he did not-suppose
the attendance of. all'tho delegates could bo
secured, but be felt sure that many of tjiem
would go and. ho 'concluded that this was. al
together tho best way'to so'ttlo the difficulty.
It should probably be added that this sug
gestion Is not 'generally ncccpted as one
likely to bo carried into execution,
Tho delegates have not yet reached the
point of talking openly on tho question of a,
vlco presidential nomination, but thore Is a
growing feollng on, this subject and unless a
means Is found of harmonizing tho sentiment
before the vlco presidential nomination is
reached In tho crder of business there will
nlinost certainly bo a very spirited light over
that point.
It Is already np'parent that the attendance
at the convention will not be ns largo as
had been counted upon. Chairman Butler
expresses tho opinion that all the sla'ej
and territories will , bo either wholly or
partially represented except Alabama,
Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia. Florida, Ver
mont, Now Hampshire and Rhode Island.
KiliulNtcn After, Cliiilminnnlilii.
There will be probably come contest over
tho position of national chairman. Stato
Chairman KdmUten of Nebraska Is an
avowed candidate for the position and ap
parently has tho support of Nebraska's
neighboring states for It. Senator 'Butler
has not yot announced whether ho will be a
candldato for re-election or not.
There has been a stiff breczo blowing to
day and It split two sections of thfi hugo
tent in, which the convention Is to bo held.
This Incident, of course, causes spmo ap
prehentton ns to the rcimlt In case of'n
repetition of today's weather conditions
after tho assemblago of (lie convention,
Delegates from twenty-eight states aqd
territories, Including one from Alaska, aro

Ignntlus Donnelly's boom for the presi

healthy appearance this evening, but there
was little mention of a candldato for vice
presldont ill cage Donnelly should be se
lected for first' plnce. Until lato tbls even
ing Uonnolly ,had not openly declared his
wish to be placed at tho head of the ticket,
but tonight It was asserted ho made the
dcdnlto announcement of hla cnndldacy. He
had. alt along cxpriesed it willingness to ac
cept first place -If ,tbc convention desired
him to do so, but stated that ho was not
pushing hUusclf.
Another, surprise was the presentation of
tho names of Former Congressman M. W.

Tills combination found a great deal of favor
among the varlous.delegatlons not controlled
by Barker and Donnelly nnd at a caucus this

Howard and Doaver. Tho situation Is thus

PARIS. May 8. The Patrle, an afternoon
nationalist newspaper, clnssol as sensa
tional, .in a. dispatch from London today,
claims to havo discovered the real . reason
for tho friendly attitude of Emperor Wil
liam of Germany toward Great Britain, at
tho present Juncture, which It declares u
tho German emperor's belief that war be
tween Germany and the United Htatc3 U
possible, and that in View of such n con
tingency he wishes tq win ovor Great
Britain to neutrality.
Continuing, tho Patrle recalls Iho friction
caused by the, action of tho German naval
commander, Admiral Diedrlchs, at Manila,
nnd affirms that'tho opposition of the United
States to F.mporbr William's dream of found
ing a greater Germany in Brazil and Ar
gentine Is responsible for the coldness In
tho relations between tho two countries. It
concludes;
"War between America and Germany Ib,
therefore, ngt Impossible In tho near future,
and It Is in view of this war and not with
hostile Intentions toward England that
Germany la making unheard of efforts to
Increase hor navy. In tho Interval tho sole
nlm of German policy is to prevent nn
Angld-Amerlcnn alliance. There Is the
secret of Emperor Willlnm's attitude, for If
England believed In a coalition of tho pow
ers against her sho would not hesitate to
concludo a Yankeo alliance. The emperor,
therefore, is striving to appear at least de
'voted to England In order to more surely
realize his dream and make Brazil an1
Argentine future dependencies of tho Ger
man empire."

est. The bill requires a clauso In all gov
ernment contracts that the labor under the
contract shall not exceed eight hours dnlly.
The report says In part:
"It Is contended by tho ndvocatcs of tho
shorter day that the additional leisure given
to labor In every Instance of the shortening
of tho work day, as it has been shortened
step by Btep from sixteen hours to four
teen, twelve, cloven, ten, nino and in many
Instances eight, has resulted In a decrease
of Intemperance among laborers, tho ac
quirement of better taste and new and bet
ter desires, rojultlng In better homes, greater
domestic felicity and a higher degreo of In
telligence, with an Increase of laudable
prldo as to the clothing of themselve3 nnd
thoso dependent upon them. In a word, It
has increased their Interests homo and
better social relations, raising their moral
status, and has made them much better
consumers of tho products of labor and
henco resulted In Increased production.
"Tho proposition that without variation
the elimination of Intemperance, poverty,
pauperism, Ignorance, crlmo nnd their ac
companying ovIIb, move parallel with and
proportionate to the Increase of the social
opportunities of tho laboring class stands
without Impeachment of Its historical ac
curacy. No recognized nuthorlty today
combats tho proposition that tho condition
of tho Inboer has Improved with every re
duction In tho hours of dally service that
has up to this time been made. Nobody
Is disputing that he has becomo a bettor
consumer with e-ach reduction. No reason
able person would for n moment entertain
tho proposition that tho work day should
again bo lengthened to fourteen or twelve
hourrf. When the hours of work were so long
that workers had no'soclal opportunities they
icsorted to stimulants for solaco and tho
saloon for society, where they encountered
an 'Iron lnw' for spending which could not
bo disregarded without lost of caste In the
only society which they had opportunity to
enter. A gentleman of responsibility nnd
exceptional opportunity for observation has
borno testimony that tho shortening of tho
workdny has banished "Blue Monday."
I til ii 1 nil t-n Olil Theory,
"A significant fact In connection with tho
shortening of tho work day at various times
during tho present century Is tho entire
silence of tho older ochool of economists with
regardt to tho offect of tho shorter work day
on society, business, industrial conditions
or the laborers themset'vei, It Is- nowhere
claimed, Insofar as your commltteo lo aware,
that any reduction In the hours of labor has
had a detrimental effect on business, on
manufactures, on labor ah a unit or In
dividual laborers. The advocates of the
Bhort hoitf theory, on tho other hnnd, trace
the moral, social and financial Improvement
o'f the laborer to thin cause and allege that
business was nt no time Injured, but Im
proved, If affected, and that production wbh
stimulated and conumptlon Increased.
"'"Economists who ndvocato the eight-hour
day contend with great plausibility that iho
f shorter day results in nn Increase of "wages
I without an Increase of price, as greater
j consumption enlarges production and tho
larger the scalo of production the cheaper
tho given article Is produced; that tho
laborer, when ho has tho leisure, resulting
I from the shorter hours, has new aspirations,
I ambitions and greater personal sclf-rospoct,
and, aa before stated, wanU a hotter houso,
better furniture, better clothes, better food
and becomes a great deal better consumer;
that' tho scalc of wages is controlled by tho
wants of tho laborer In any given stato of
1 society, rather than by the 'Iron law of
wages:' that modern men cease to work
under normal conditions If the proceeds of
their labor do not satlffy their normal wants;
that, therefore, tho social status of tho
laborer controls tho law of wages to ns
great an extent as tho law of wages controls
tho status of tho laborer.
"Whllo there Is still a varlanco of opinion
on tho general question whether modern
maohlnery nnd methods so lighten tho
physical drudgery of mcst occupations as to
haVn an equivalent effect to tho shortening
of hoiiM In tho conservation of enorgy or
whether such machinery or mcthodo operato
to so tax tho nervous powers ns to ho
equivalent In exhaustive effects to tho
lengthening of hours, your commltteo Is of
tho opinion, nftcr what has been said on
both sides, that tho higher tension of modern
employment Is at least a full offset tn tho
saving accomplished In muscular force."
Tho report also presents an elaborate re
view of tho eight-hour legislation In nil tho
stalest and the previous eight-hour statutes
enactwl by tho federal government.
