Sioux Falls, May 11. It was 2 o'clock

IVttigr;ew of South Dakota has a
fighting jchance t elect a fusion legis

In furtherance of those

the Convention
Chicago, May 11. Charles A. Towne
was seen nt the auditorium annex today
as he A-asj about to take the train for
Duluth. his home. AVhen asked for an
expression! of opinion regarding the ac
tion of the convention he said:
"I can say Avhat I haAe always- said
since my hame has been mentioned in
this connection, that I have not sought
the office and have made no efforts to
secure the nomination, but if the Popu
lists and the other tAA'o parties think I
am the moist available man for the posi
tion should name a committee to meet
all along (that the Sioux Falls conven
tion should name a committe to meet
AA-ith ihe committees of the other t aa'o
parties at J Kansas City to consider the
vice-presidential nomination, but it looks
as though! my friends at Sioux Falls
did not consider that the best, course to
folloAv." f
"If there, is a modification of the Chi
cago financial plank by the Kansas City
convention on the silver question, would
vou accept the vice-pres-ideutial nomi
nation V j
"I certainly would not if it approached
even the remotest degree to a backdown
from the plank of 1890, but there will
be no baekdoAvn. The Chicago plank
will be reaffirmed."
, Towne May Decline
Washington, May 11 Mr. Towne is
well knoAA-n here. His deA'otion to sil
ver and the cause of the people against
monopoliesi and -imperialism is so great
that he will not alloAV himself to he
used as a at's paw in Butler's hand for

lieved that he will accept the Populist
nomination. He certainly will not do
so if it embarrasses Mr. Bryau, to
Avhose success he is committed.

HAVANA POSTAL FRAUDS
Colonel Burton Has a Conference with
Officials of the War Department.
Washington. May 11. Col. George H.
Burton of the inspector general's de
partment has arrived from Havana and
had a conference with War Department
officials this afternoon. Colonel Bur
ton is the officer of the inspector gen
erals department Avho detected the pos
tal frauds in the Cuban .service, in
connection with which Charles F. W.
NVely is now under arrest.
, Colonel Burton spent half an hour in
dose conference with Secretary Root
.ami then paid his respects to Adju
tant General Corbin and some of the
other officials of the department. He
brought Avith him documentary evidence
touching the postal frauds, and as Sec
retary Root was not able, for lack of
time, to go over the papers, he took
them Avith him to the cabinet meeting
for further consideration..
Colonel Burton said that he had noth
ing to communicate to the press regard
ing, the matter .under consideration, and
he felt that it would be improper for
lini to talk of the inquiry at all at this
stage, save to the off.ioals of the gov-
ern-nyeut. lie Avished it understood
that tip to the time he left Havana the
inquiry into the postal frauds had. been
conducted by himself. . and the United
Statefe postal authoties had had noth
ing t6 do -with it.
It i j'xpected that the State Depart
ment will take part 111 the extradition
proceedings in the Neely case, assum
ing that the New York authorities are
disposed to honor General Woods' de
mand for the surrender of Neely. The
actual warrant of surrender must he
issued Iy tne Mate Department, and m
some instances the department has nn
dertaken - to pass judgment upon the
question as to whether a prima acie
case had been established sufficient to
AA-arrant the granting of the request. In
A'iew of the official character of the
investigation in Neely's case, however,'
it is said that the department s action
will be purely formal. (

the conclusion that the loss -will not
