Ihf suite convention of the Republican party which closed shortly before mid night last night, was, as this paper fore casted, one of the most remarkable party"' b.wi.t,. a invention in which there was such a rivalry f-r leadership, and for place. It w.t.- :i revelation in the matter of nar-nv-iiy. No convention in the state's his. try left a better feeling among the con-t- i-tants whore the certainty of an elec ti"n made si many persons have such po rt u-al interests at stake.

At the mention of the jr. piilenfs name, the p-opio rose enmasse as if fin extraordinary inspiration had Bf them, and cheered with all their Iu'ik force until they could cheer no more. It thoroughly settled, by exemplification, thf question of Theodore Roosevelt's place In the hearts of the people of Kansas. Another interesting feature of the pro Civiings "f the day whs the magnificent r iition gi i n to Congressman Chester 1 I"'.ig whf eloquent tribute to the ehar-n- r of the president aroused the enthus iasm of the audience. He was easily the ir "St popular man at the invention and It was a r. m.-irkible fact that the jwople cilhd upon Km before they called fnr F. nator Hurion.

And after ns victory he exercised most excellent judgment and showed his strength as a politician to great advantage. Other men would betray the vanity of success and wear his regenerated glory ostentatiously. On the contrary he succumbed to modesty and the convention did not hear a word from him. He sat with his delegation so quietly that a stranger to the situation would nevor have taken him to be a fac tor in the shaping of the events of a memorable day. The election of Mr. Cole as temporary chairman was no mistake from a parlia mentary standpoint He was very fair in all his rulings, 'was liberal in the rein he gave to the convention and, at the same time, he enforced splendid dlcipline in the body. The convention was the largest ever held in the state and few will deny that any was more successful. It was a con vention that gave inspiration to the dele gates and which will be carried by them to the most remote corners of the state to arouse Republican hosts for the battle tnat win soon bo on Practically everything done in the con Vention WHS fnma1iiairiT,-A u.. -r- men was the only metropolitan paDer that nrsUtntiv p. v-iumicu auutess ior tne bailey rorces in the organization of the convention and In the nomination of their torces.

It was on this nronosltlnn thnt thm. t,o been warring during the past two days, ani th fnr. tv, .1 I and, as the time grew for the convention to open, the situation became more tense Everywhere the Bailey men wer growing confidnt, and predicted that the first bal lot would place George E. Cole in the chair to preside over the convention dur ing its first deliberations. The Greor men were perfectly willing to take part in a J fight, but w-ero not talking about the out come of the battle. i The rain seemed to make little difference with the delegates. They walked around town yesterday morning, and, if the rain was inconvenient, they p-rchased urn brellas and went on. The hotel lobbies were all filled until convention time neared, and then there was a stampede for the Auditorium. The doors of this t building were opened early. Tom Voss, the good-natured sergeant-at-arms, was i there with his force of assistants, ready to handle the crowds as they came. The chairs had been arranged with the names of the various counties on them, so that the delegations could not make mistakes in finding their positions during the con- 1 vention. The floor was divided Into the districts, at: the state, and this. also. j made it better for the delegates. Many seats were placed, on the stage, and long before the time for convening these were fi.led with representatives of the various I Associated Press papers. Prominent men were gathered together on the stage, but some of the hardest workers in the con- flict lefore the convening of the conven tion were thw with their respective dele gations. Long before 10 o'clock there were many delegates in the hall, but by 9:) o'clock everything was in an uproar. People were coming in and looking for seats. Vis i it or s a ad spectators were crowding into the gallery and by the time the first blow of the gavel "f Chairman Alba ugh was struck there was scarcely room for an other person In the Auditorium. Over every delegate who had at all mixed in the organization fight there was an air of expectancy-. It was his desire to know what was going to take place, and just who the vote would land in the chair. Continued on Fifth Page. INDIANS CREEKS FROM INDIAN TERRI TORY CALL ON ROOSEVELT. Band Asks for Allotments and Citizen ship Duties. "Washington, May. 28. A delegation of Creek Indian?, headed by Principal Chief Bufllngtoh, called 'on the president today and presented a petition In behalf of the bill providing for the allotment of their lands In the Indian Territory and the disposition of townsites.

GENERAL STRIKE CERTAIN All Soft Coal Miners of United States May Join Men. St. Louis, May 28. Frank P. Sargent, head of the Brotherhood of Locomotiye Firemen, member of the. national labor arbitration committee, of which Senator Hanna Is chairman, stated today, say the Post-Dispatch, that a general sym pathy strike of all the soft coal miners, in the United States probably would' be ordered. He declared that the miners Of the Pennsylvania coal region had r' fused absolutely to treat with the regu larly constituted arbitration board and a sympathetic strike of the soft "coal men was the only recourse. "The anthracite miners," continued Mr. Sargent, "asked very little and were willing to make con cessions, but the attitude of the opora tors from the start was such that I did not hesitate to suggest the strike to. John Mitchell. I do not .see at this time any hope of a compromise. "The coal barons believe thty are mas ters of .he situation, while the working men are equally confident of tneir chances of success. There are 180,000 men idle as the result of the strike. 'There are between 425.000 and 450,000 coal miners throuehout the country. and not one "union in my judgment woulil hesitate a moment to respond favorably to a call for a general strike. That there positively will be such a strike. cannot say officially. My opinion is based solely on conferences I have had with President Mitchell and other leaders.' MAY INVOLVE 40,000 MEN Chicago Teamsters' Strike Threatens Mighty Turn. Chicago, May 2S. If the four great packing concerns at the Union Stock Yards shall not yield to the demands of the striking teamsters withlp a short time It may result in a general stop page of 40,000 employes at the 'yards Already several hundred persons have quit. The situation is becoming so in volved that it apparently will be Impos sible for the union men to remain at work much longer without violating the rules of the Chicago Federation of Labor under which they hold charters. A strike among the beef butchers or hog butchers or anv other set of men, upon whom hundreds of others are dependent, would dausc a complete tie-up in every branch This is said to be not unlikely, because in many instances union men hace been asked to do the work of the strikers and have been discharged upon refusing. Furthermore, union men are forbidden to handle goods that have been prepared by non-unlo.i labor, and It is said to bo nearly impracticable for tne men to con tinue without doing this. Conferences between several of the firms and repre sentatives of the union were- heW- this afternoon in ah effort to adjust the trouble, but the packers refused to con cede any of the demands of the strikers, and the probability on an early settle ment seems as remote as on She first aay of the tie-up.

Fort De France, Island of Martinique. May 2S (5 p.' m.) A tremenduous explo sion of very black smoke from Mont Pelee at a quarter before 9 o'clock this morning accentuated the fear entertained for the safety of George Kcnnan, the American author, who, with a land party, had been examining the northern part of the island. The governor of Martini que was at once consulted with the ob ject of arranging for a rescue party to proceed by land in connection with the voyage along the coast of the LTnlted States cruiser Cincinnati, should such steps appear necessary. At about 11 o'clock thi morning Fernando Clerc. a wealthy land proprietor of Martinique, arrived here and announced that Mr. Kennan and hia party were safe on a plantation at the north end of the is land. Prof. Bobert T. Hill. United States geologist arid head of the expedition sent to Martinique by the National Geograph ical society, who loft Fort de France Monday on horseback for the volcano. returned here this morning. He was completely worn out by his trip. Prof. Hill relates an Interesting story of his examination of the distriot through which he passed. Ho lpft Fort Do France fan o'cloqk M0ruTayftenin7VH!rTvas accompanied by a ?.ir. CaVanaugh, an army olhcer from the British Island of Trinidad, and a -boy named Joe, who was to act as interpreter. The party set out on horseback and took the direct north road for Morne Rouge. Between the Hamlets and Duex Choux and Fonds St. Denis, the party entered upon the outer edge of the zone of ashes. Except for occasional .patches all the country to this point wAs green and smil ing. Upon reaching the Raibaud planta tion, one mile southwost of St. Pierre, the explorer met the clear line of demar cation of the zone of Home and destruc tion, although not of annihilation. Mon day night was spent In a deserted house at Fonds St. Denis, from which Prof Hill witnessed and studied the volcanic erup tion of that night. At this point the horses of the party became exhausted. Earlv the next morning Professor Hill pushed on to Mont Pa masse, where sev eral people were killed in the eruption of May He eocountered no human beings but he did meet a number of bamlooed cattle, which tried to follow him. Front Mont Parnasso the explorer proceeded to Morne Rougue. where he succeeded in getting a number of Important ptooto irfaphs.

They followed a distinct path I of ignition, but were different from lightning, in'tbat-the bolts were horizontal and not perpendicular. This Is Indisput able evidence of the .explosive oxidation of the gases after. they left the crater. This Is a most important observation, and explains in part the awful catastrophe. This phenomenon is entirely new in vol canic history. "I took anany .photographs, but do not hesitate to acknowledge that I was terri fied. But I was not. the- only person so frightened. Two newspaper correspond eats who were close to Morn Rogufe some hours befoYe me became scared.- ran three miles down the mountain and hast ened into Fort De France. "The people on the north end of the island are terrified, and are fleeing with their cattle and effects. I spent Tuesday night In a house at Deux Choux with a crowd of 300 frightened refugees. "Nearly all the phenomena of these vol canic outbreaks, are new to science, and many of them- have not yet been ex plained. The volcano is still Intensely ac tive and I cannot make any predictions aj to what it will do." Tho story related by Fernando Clerc is also interesting. Mr. Clerc says: "Mr. Kennan and his party have hosn with me. We got around the mountain and reached the new crater not far from Ajoupa Bbillon. We discovered that it had broken ou. at the very head of the river Falaise and about 300 yards from the high road. Our party rode directly tc the edge of the crater, as It was then quiescent. We saw that a great slice of the mountain had fallen, leaving ox posed a perpendicular cliff. In this cliff were Ave huge tunnels, which were not smoking. The crater Is a great sloping, oval depression, from which smoke is sues, as it does from the great crater, with the exception that here there were few ashes in the smoke. The river Fa laise is boiling hot and so muddy that one quart of water weighed four pounds. Volcanic stones of the nature of pumice float in this waXer. "Mr. Kenna witnessed the explosion of Monday night, and was much interested in the phenomenaa The explosion was ac companied at intervals' by a bright light which lasted for half an hour at a time. This light was steady- and illuminated the entire mountain top. Prof. HH1 says he did not see this light. I left Mr. Kenna and his party in good health and in safety. They seemed to be in no hurry to "come back to Fort De France." The exDlosion of this morning was ac companied by an enormous column- of smoke, which rose fully three miies mio the air. but whicn was largely nmueu from the view of the people of Fort De France by a heavy cumulus. There was Minsemientlv no nanic here. This column of smoka was seen from the British cruiser Indefatigable, while she was at sen. The Indefatigable arrived here this morning to mako another attempt to re cover the body of the British consul at St. Pierre, Mr. Jcpp. and the arcnives of the consulate. With this end in view i-ha RHtish cruiser proceeded this after noon for St. Pierre, but the explosion of this morning has probably maae it lm Twnscrfhi to effect a landing there.

The street car line Is now being constructed to the col lege grounds and will be completed by the 5th or Cth of June.

Lots in this addition will be sold for the benefit of the uni versity until the full sum of $100,000 has been realized and paid over to the univer sity syndicate, which -stM proceed with the erection of two liandsome haUs to cost $30,000 -each. One of them will be erected from the proceeds of the sale of lots and the other will be erected, as I understand, hy the Epworth leagues of the Methodist churches orth -and South. A portion of the money realized from the sale of lots will go into a canvassmb fifhd to be used In soliciting contribu tions for the permanent endowment of the wealthy churchmen throughout the country. "The enterprise already has the en dorsement of the national organization of both branches of the church and I believe I am safe in asserting that the success of this Institution as one of the great universities of the country is now assured. The central Idea of Its organ ization as the 'joint understanding of the two branches of the Methodist church and as a means of dealing the unfortunate division of that church as the result, of political issues now burled forever, gives assurance that it will be fostered with an enthusiasm that' has never yet characterized the growth of any sectarian institution.

CONGRESS MUST CONSENT Chactaw Has Not Yet Purchased Kick- apoo Indian Lands. Guthrie, O. T., May 28. The Shawnee Democrat says:. The statement In the Oklahoma papers that the Choctaw had bought SO acres of KIckapoo Indian land adjoining their machine shops in Shawnee ig premature. It seems that Guthrie and Oklahoma City got their information from Shawnee, but we are in a position to give It an absolute denial. That the Choctaw wants that part of the KIckapoo reserva tion south of their tracks is well known. KIckapoo land is not on the market and there Is only one way that the Choctaw can get the land in question. It will take an act of congress and just such an act has gone through congress and is now waiting the approval of the president. This act does not authorize the sale of the entire reservation of the KIckapoo but only so much as is Inherited by the heirs of deceased allottee. This act may become a law in a few days, but until that time no conveyance can be legally consumated. STAND LIKE A STONE WALL.

T.. May 2S. The hailstorm at Cashion proves to have been the most destructive, for the narrow area of two miles "tKat It covered, in the history oC Oklahoma. All stories of large hail fall ins were outdone. All the windows of the town, on the north and west sides ot houses, were broken. The hall covered the fc-round from two to four Inches and here and there sinslo stones were as much as two Inches in diameter, burying themselves in the ground When falling, like leaden balls or when dropping on the sidewalk, rebounding. At one school house, one bare-footed boy running home, froze his feet. Horace Smith, running out to keep a team from dashing away, received severe injuries about the face and head, as if rocks had been thrown at him. Every fruft tree in the path of the storm is stripped of its fruit. The wheat and corn fields passed over are laid dewn and beaten into the ground. Many buildings were blown down. The StOtTn stmrlr if onrHi smlrfnnU about a mile-north of Cashion. at the old town ot .Downs. As it approached Cash ion, every citizen made a dash for his storm cave. While the storm lasted, it was terrlflc: the only consolation being that if didn't cover a great distance nor last long. 'OHIO DAY OF EVENTS (Continued From First Page.) Of course, as In all campaigns, there are issues which the Democratic party are trying to make for us upon national questions. They hava. talked in the balls of congress for days and weeks upon a question -which the Republicans of the United States settled last year, but we can pardon them for it, for it Is all they have left. But how are they making the Issue? Standing before tho Amer ican peoplo and proclaiming that the policy of president McKinley was wrong morally wrong. Why, Republicans of Ohio, I blush to have to say that It seems to me almost an Insult to his memory that such things could be said upon tho floor of the United States senate against a man whom not only the Republicans of Ohio, but the Republicans of the na tion, worship. Shame upon a party uat will attempt to bring that name into dis repute and dishonor through its policies Inaugurated, as they are. In the interests of humanity. Those of ns who were near to him during those trying days, when new questions came up, well knew how he wrestled with them prayerfully and intelligently, that he- might do what was best for those people on the other side of tho world. Weighing everything In the balance and praying to his own high est authority God he came to tho con clusion that the best thing for us, and for, them, was that we might extend to them all 'the blessings of a free govern ment, controlled by a power which knew what free government meant. That' was a policy born of the best thought and best cfTorts that could be exercised for the good ofithose people who had come into our7 hands, and without the aid of a party that had much to do with bringing on the war with Spain for the elevation of their race and the spread of Christian morality. That was the in spiration of McKinley: that was tho motive of all the people of the United States. When as a result of that policy we are confronted with the conditions that we find today, shall wo follow the Issues that prompted tho prejudices of a party to thwart us in the work of human ity and Christianity? Xover! In the word3 of Roosevelt, 'Our flag is there, and It will stay put.'
