Convention Matters and Pr y Elections Discussed by a Committee, A meeting of the people’s party coun central committce was held yosterday atter- noon in the Kuigots of Labor nall on Doug- las strect, It was pro-ided over by J. Jeff- coat, chairman of the committes, and was attended by committeemen from each of the wurds and county precinets. Tho first matter brought up for considera- tion was that of hotel nccommodations for the delogates to the national conveution, to _be held bero July 4. Allen Root of South Omaha stated he had been in- formed that the hotels had refused to make a rate for the recommodation of the visitors, and were very reluctant about saving whether or not an increase in rates would be wade., Ho believed that 1t was the intention of the hotel proprictors to *'skin’’ the dele- gates, as ho termed it, and thought the hotels would increase their rate to 85 and $10 aday. Mr, Rooi suid he for one would not tolerato such an outrage, and would be in favor of procuring tents from the govern- ment and let the delegates have o sort of little oncampment, thereby the hotels would get mone of | their patrousge. To carry out his plan he offered a rosolution to “the effect that the committee believed the hotel rates would b3 incrensed from 30 to b per ceut, and asked for the appointment of 4 committee to act in conjunction with the geseral commit- tee for the purpose of ascertaining what tho hotels proposed to do. H. Coen opuosed the resolution and stated that Thowas Swobe of the Milard bad informed him that nis botel would make no increase in rates, The resolution was amended, instructin committee which bad been previously directed to mako hotel rates o work jointy with the general committoe and get a definite reply from the various hotels by May 12, ‘The question of how the primary election should be held aud how the delegates should be selccted occunied most of the afterno Tho basis of representation was b0 wrangled over, but it was finally decided to have 171 delegates to go to the county con- Vi , which is to bo beld Saturday, June he apportionment of delegates was as follows: Omaha, unine from each ward; South Owaba, five from each ward; country preciucts, five, thus giv- ing Omaha eighiy-one delegates, South Omenn t v, aud the country precinets sy ‘y.

SEVERE CRITICISM FROM DEMOCRATS Acrimonlous Dise tic and in the House— ssion Over wsular Appropriatio eystone Bank Inv tigation—Wasnington Gossip. the Diplo- BiL WasminGrox, D. C., April 30.—Although Mr. Hitt of Illinois was not successful in re- storing the salury of the minister to Ven- czucla, by clover tactics he succeeded in re- storing to Denmark her separate minister. He did this by allowing tne democrats from the northwest, where tho Scandinavians constitute a large proportion of the popula- tion, to do most of the talking. The amend- mout was proposed by a republican, Mr. PPost of linnois, and was warmly advocatea by him, but its 1mpressive strengch camo from the democrats. Mr. Butler of lowa (who had prepared a similor amendment) led the fight, and so many other democrats followed his lead that Mr. Blount thought it politic to yield grace- fully and surrendered without o voting struggle, The New Orleans-Italy imbroglio presented itself through tho diplomatic emergoncy ap- provriation, The president was subjected to much adverse criticism for his action in pay ing the Italian indeinity out of the emerg- ency fund, But as the emergency fund is in the nature of a secret service appropriation, it cannot bo defivitely stated now it is ex- pended, An amendment made by Mr. Chip- man of Micbigan, prohibiting the use of that money iu settlement of claims of foreign countri was passed over, sulur Approprintion Bil, The house went Iuto committee of the whole on the diplomatic consular appropria- tion bill, Mr. Post of Lllinois' offered an amendment restoring Donmark as a separate mission and fixing the salary of the minister at §7,500, Mr. Post advocated ¥is ‘amenament and re- ferred to the industry’gnd thrift of the Scan- dinavian-American citizéns Mr. Butler of Jows stupported the propos tion and made a few' remarks which Mr, Bryan of Neoraska {#ho was absent) had intenaed to deliver in its support, Mr. Blount opposed the amendment, Mr. Lynch of Wisconsin eulogized our Scandinayiau citizens, and said he could see no reason why the damiocratic house should begin cconomizing by’ teducing the foreign ervice. Mr. Bushnell of Wisconsin spoko enthusi- astically of the gnlrlodsm. sobriety and in- dustry “of the Scauditaviau race, and ob- jected to depriving Pepmark of 4 separate mission, Mr. Hitt, in favoring the amenament, said that it would be urfortanate at this time for the United States to dispense with its mission 1o Denmark, Tho United States had fuvited Denmark to exhibit at the World's fair and Denmari bad responded to that invitation in a liberal aud bearty spirit. In proportion to 1ts population Denmark haa made a larger appropriation than aoy other country in the warld. © Cammings and Blount Bandy Words, Mr. Blount asked unanimous consent that debate on the ameudment be cousidered as closs Mr. Cummings of New York vehemently ed, whereupon Mr. Blount moved that mmittee rise for the purpose of closing e. That 1s on the hine with the spirit of the commitiee that drew this bill, id Mr. Cummings, indignantly. “The commilteo has & spirlt as lofty as that geotleman,” responded Me. Blount, wurmly. “‘And far more parsimonious and mean,” veteried Mr. Cummings. “I'he gentleman is vften in adverse attis tudo to tho majority,” was Mr. Blount's re- joinder. Finally Mr. Blount withdrew his objoc- tion, stating that his idea in proposing it was to facilitate the vill, Mr. Cummiggs said ho would vote for tho amendment. $Ho wanted to rebuke the house for a spirit of parsimoty which was exhib- ited in the endeavor to consolidate the Danish and. Swedish missions. In the Fifty-first congress there wero justas many mombers Scandinavian born s there were members born in Irelund and Germany, This bill, so far as it concerned those nations, was an in- sult to 2,000,000 of our Scandinavian citizens. The committee on foreign affuirs haa dono injustice, not only to the people of Denmark, which nation was monarchical, but to our sister republics of Soutn America. Again ho wanted to rebuke this parsimony.

He appealed 10 tho house not to place this goverument in a position which would be regarded by all couutries as the oue national miser of the world. [Applause. | Brought up the New Orleans Riot, Mr. Blount said that as it scomed that there was a strong disposition on the part of the members to retain Deamark as a separate mission he would aot press his op- position to the amendment. The amend- ment. was accepted. Mr. Blount offered an amenamentreducing from §3,000 to & the appropriation for meeting unfo emergencies ari-ing_in tne diplomntic consular service. ‘'be opposition which arose ou the amendment brought the Italian question to tho front through criticisms made upon the payment of the Italian in- demnity oat of the émergency fund.
