The vice presi dential situation continues to be the ab sorbing topic with the leaders, the dele Bates and the anxious, expectant crowd. While many of the conditions have been defined with clearness, there is far from a clear and final understanding which all accept by common consent. The ac tion of the New York caucus late last night in unanimously agreeing to sup port Woodruff is not accepted as per manently retiring Roosevelt from the field. Kansas and many other states ate insistent stiil that he shall be named,, without reference to his own wishes or the wishes of the New- Yo; I dcleaatiun. In some quarters it is in timated that this is but an adroit stroke on th;; part of Mr. I'latt to show that it is from without that the demand for Koosevelt conies. The governor, himself, is congratulating Mr. Woodruff as though he were to be the nominee. Rut rCopyrigitt. 190ft. Itoekwood, N. Y.J SKXATOIt MARK A. HAXNA. A very recent picture of the political leader, nf whom todav's earlv Aso- ciatd Press report seys: "He appeared at tircaklast sniilnig. and apparently cor.iioeni. witnout a trace nt worry or fatigue from the nerve-racking ordeal of tne last lew clays, the general impression prevails that th time has gone by when New York can deliver the vice presidential nomination to any one of its choice. Moreover Mr. Ilanna and the administration forces continue to look to LunK or Dolliver, and are not deeply impressed with the New York endorsement of Woodruff. It was observed that a rather signif icant by-play occurred in the breakfast room of the Walton this morninpr. Mr. Ilanna was taking his breakfast when Mr. Woodruff fauitlessly groomed, and happy with the New York endorsement entered the room and seeing Mr. Hanna started toward the national chairman, but the latter, glancing over his eye glasses appeared disinclined to join in congratulations or a discussion of en dorsements and picking up his morning jiaper, became so absorbed that Mr. Woodruff passed on without a word of exchange. Later, however, the lieuten ant governor joined Mr. Ilanna at his table and the two had a short talk. The friends of Secretary Long are ac cepting as sincere assurances that Roosevelt will not stand and they are lated with the progress made within the last few hours. The action of California in coming out fatly for Long means much, as Cali fornia stands well at the top alphabet ically and will give an eariy impetus to the Long movermnt v. lien the roll of ptates is called. New Kngland now is practically united with TS votes for Long, although the Connecticut people are wavering. New Jeisey adds her strength to Long and these acquisitions lave started a strong current towards Long in the western delegations, al though the Roosevelt shadow still Hands in the way of formal action for the Massachusetts man.

In Lieutenant Governor Woodruff's head quarters very active work was going on. Col. M. J. Dady speaking for the man agers of the boorn, said: "We are doing our best to keep the thing going ar.d we are making prog ress. Mr. Hanna is not as has been stated letting things alone. He is sending for heads of delegations and is telling them they must not vote for Roosevelt, but further than that he is not yet committed. Ke has no definite candidate. He told Mr. Woodruff this morning that he would not interfere and if he. Woodruff, could get the dele gates he would not object to his nomi nation." Mr. Hanna when told of this smiled, and said: "Part of it is true; I have not settled upon any candidate. It is a free, open tight." There was additional joy over that of last night, when at the Roosevelt head quarters it was learned that the Mis souri delegation, which yesterday de clared for Roosevelt, had withdrawn their support, and would be for Dol liver. A plan was being discussed dur ing the morning to have Alabama give way to New York on the roll call for nominations, and have Governor Roose velt anticipate friendly action toward him by putting Lieutenant Governor Woodruff in nomination. At 11 o'clock and before Governor Roosevelt had arrived at his room the joy over Missouri's action was over whelmed by a crushing blow- at Roose velt's hopes of escape aimed by Henry C. Payne and the Wisconsin delegation. Wisconsin had a meeting and hardly were the doors closed when Mr. Payne arose and in a vehement speech declar ed that Roosevelt would be the nominee of the convention. "It is time that this factional busi ness in New York should be settled from the outside," he said. "This is a na tional, not a state gathering. We are here to nominate a national ticket not for a dicker over New York state's per sonal affairs." (Applause). Then, raising his hand he said in an impressive and impassioned manner: "Hefor.e Wisconsin is reached on the roll call, willing or unwilling, Theodore Roosevelt will have received 75 per cent of the votes of the convention. I move that Wisconsin join the popular col umn and vote for, not New York's son, but the nation's son, Theodore Roose velt." Amidst a burst of applause the resolu tion was adopted by an unanimous vote. Mr. Payne when spoken to after the meeting said: "I believe that everything points to Roosevelt's nomination and I don't think he dares refuse it." At Governor Roosevelt's headquarters it was said that Mr. Payne's action was expected and that he was simply for Mr. Roosevelt's nomination because Mr. Hanna was against it. Senator Hanna is by no means assured that the Roose velt candidacy is ended. hen seen to day he said significantly, "It all de pends upon the man upstairs." "Which man?" "Roosevelt." Asked if he expected to have any fur ther conferences with Piatt or Quay he answered that he would If they wanted to see him. He was not seeking any interviews with them. During their conversation this morn ing Hanna asked Woodruff what game New York was playing. "It is on the square." said Woodruff. "I am a candidate, with New York be hind me, and supporting me loyally." "All right, then," responded Hanna, "we will make it a free fight and the best man will win." At the same time there is a prevail ment belief that the convention will nominate Roosevelt in spite of all that has been done to prevent the stam pede. Judge Bartlett Tripp today authoriz ed James M. Ashton. of Washington, formally to announce that he had with drawn from the vice presidential con test. Judge Tripp's desire was Mr.Ash ton said that the delegates who had formed the nucleus of his support should cast their votes for Governor Roosevelt. Pursuant to this request Mr. Ashton announced a large majority of the delegates from the states of Wash ington, Oregon, Utah and North and South Dakota would support the empire state governor. It is known however, that the Oregon delegation of eight, whose policy hitherto with Tripp eliminated-from the contest was to support Roosevelt, has a very friendly feeling for Secretary Long. That the delegation will support Long accepting Roosevelt's statement that he does not desire the nomination is asserted confidently by a member of the delegation today. A caucus of the Minnesota delegation was held in the early hours of the day. Af ter a free discussion of the vice presi dential question the delegation decided by a unanimous vote to present the con vention the name of Former Senator W. D. Washburn, as Minnesota's choice for the vice presidency. Governor Voorhees. of New Jersey, who is a delegate at large, arrived here this morning from a flying trip to Eu rope. He is probably the last delegate to reach the convention city. Nearly all the delegates and visitors from New Jersey were at headquarters to greet him. At 11 o'clock Senator Hanna went in to a conference with Senators Lodge and Spooner. B. P.. Odell was present part of the time. For the first time the Ohio senator having heard of Wiscon sin's vote to support Roosevelt, showed signs of weakening. He is reported to have said almost as soon as the vice presidential matter was mentioned: "Gentlemen, we do not want to lose sight of the fact .that this Roosevelt sentiment is much greater than the combination of Quay and Piatt for it. The west and the south are likely to force it and I don't feel their wishes should be combatted too fiercely." This statement was in conformance with the one made to Mr. Woodruff in the early morning. The conferees de clared when they adjourned that they had arrived at no conclusion nor the fact that Mr. Hanna was seemingly not so enthusiastic in his work against the Roosevelt boom would indicate that Mr. Roosevelt is again the prominent candi date for vice president. If Roosevelt should be nominated the endorsement of Woodruff made by the New York dele gation last night would be used to force Woodruff's nomination for governor oi New York. The tide continued to set steadily toward Roosevelt all the forenoon. There were a number of arrivals from Washington who brought word that the president had absolutely refused to allow the use of administration in fluence for or against any candidate. He was quoted as saying that the dele gates had assembled to perform a gret l-r 4 To be renominated at the Republican National Convention tomorrow the American people the grandest tive.

When Governor Roosevelt was told that Mr. Hanna had intimated that the west and south were strongly for Roosevelt, and that he (Hanna) did not feel like stemming the ':ide, he said: "I have done everything I can to stop it I cannot do more. I have won my own state's support in my fight, and I am proud of it. If Mr. Hanna thinks the demand for my nom ination is overwhelming, why don't he say so to me?

Mr. Odell said: "We are for Wood ruff, but I think Roosevelt can be nom inated without New York's vote." MES. WOODRUFF BADLY HURT. Wife of Vice Presidential Candidate Meets Distressing Accident. Philadelphia, Pa., June 20. Mrs. Tim othy L,. Woodruff, wife of the lieuten ant governor of Xew York, has met w-ith an accident that may cost her the si.erht of her right eye. Vhile driving with her maid a large glowing cinder struck 31rs. Woodruff in the eye. Her suffering became so acute that she was taken immediately to the Bellevue and the lieutenant gov ernor summoned. He sent for a spe cialist at once and Mrs. Woodruff was placed in a dark room.

Reports from Chi nese sources credited by the local for eign officials here say the legations at Pekin were safe June 17 (Sunday), and that Admiral Seymour with the reliev ing column reached Pekin. that day. FEELIXO OF RELIEF. London, June 20, 2:10 p7 m. The news from Shanghai today is regarded in official circles as distinctly cheering. After the grim reports current early this morning the dispatch of the Asso ciated Press announcing the arrival at Pekin of the relief expedition com manded by Admiral Seymour and the safety of the legations, which later was condrmed by a dispatch from Shanghai, published in the second edition of the London Times, announcing cn the au thority of Taoti-Sheng that Seymour's force arrived at the Chinese capital June 17. presages it is hoped a general brightening of the situation. No de tails have yet been received of the casualties or the condition of affairs at Pekin. Well informed- people express the opinion that the summoning of Li Hung Chang to the capital foreshadows the early submission of the empress dowager to the dictates of the powers. RUSSIAN LOSS HEAVY. St. Petersburg. June 20. Vice Ad miral Alexejeff, from Port Arthur, re porting the capture of, the Taku forts, says the bombarding fleet was com manded by the Russian Captain Du browolski, as senior officer present. The Russian losses were two lieutenants kiiled, one severely and one slightly wounded and 16 men killed and 67 wounded. The gunboat Giljax was se riously damaged by a shell below the water line ami must be docked for re pairs. The gunboat Korejez was leak ing in six places, and had her cabin destroyed. The gunboat Bobr was dam aged. Besides the above Admiral Al i "t 4 i?

FRANCE IS SUSPICIOUS. New York, June 20. A dispatch to the Times from Paris says: Several deputies interviewed admitted that France's position in China is a delicate one. There is a genera! shrewd suspicion that France's ally, Russia, de sires to profit from the present condi tion of disorder and also desires such state to continue as long as possible. If France helps to end it she will be playing Great Britain's hand opposing Russia's game. An attache of the legation here named Qued-Chin has stated that the resist ance of the foreign troops will collapse and that affairs will be arranged by the guardian to the heir presumptive taking the empress dowager's place. LISCUM'S ORDERS. New York, June 20. A special to the Tribune from Washington says: "General MacArthur has not yet re ported his selection of the two addition al regiments to be sent to Tien Tsin on the transports Warren and Sherman, but the authorities of the war depart ment think one of them will be the Fourteenth or the Twentieth infantry now on provost guard duty in Manila, the place of one or the other of them being taken by a regiment nearby. The other, it is thought, will be the Twenty second infantry, now in the pacified section along the railway whence the Ninth was withdrawn. The Sixth cav alry, now camped south of Manila in the Cavite province will be distributed in the country formerly protected by the Ninth and Twenty-second infantry regiments. Chagrin is expressed that General jVIacArthur can not start the Ninth regiment before next Sunday and that the United States must be represented altogether by naval forces until the last day of June at least. The Oregon will not reach Taku for at least a week, if not ten days. The gunboats Princeton and Marietta will probably start from Cavite on Wednesday to join Admiral Kempff. The orders of Colonel Liscum of the Ninth infantry direct him to proceed to Pekin for the relief and protection of the American legation and to take subsequent orders from Minister Con ger. Beyond this he has the fullest dis cretion, and will be governed by cir cumstances as he finds them. IN THE NICK OF TIME. London. June 20. The Russian relieving force arrived outride of Pekin this morn ing, says the Shanghai correspondent of the Express, and immediately began to attack ti'.e city on two sides, employing numerous artillery. The force apnarently arrived in the nick of time, for the Chinese assert that the attack ui)on the legations had been re newed. On the night of June IB. the Chin ese troops under Generals" Tung Fan Siang and Tung Ching attacked the lega tions and set on tire five European build ings. Nothing delinite is known as to the result, except the Chinese were disap pointed, although other reports, utterjy discredited by foreigners here, are that the Chinese, infuriated by the destruction of Taku. have since massacred all the for eigners in Pekin. A modified version of these rumors re ceived at Berlin, is that the French as well as the German minister has been killed. The English at Shanghai think that the Chinese had foreign advice in or ganizing the defenses at Taku. because of the precision with which their attack was delivered. (Continued on Eighth Page.)

Convention Hall, Philadelphia, June 20. It was almost 11 o'clock when the advance zuard of the great army of visitors crossed the Schuylkill and be sieged the doors of the convention hall. The renomination of President McKin ley was to be the event of the daj", and every road led towards the export exposition building. In street cars, carriages and afoot the people streamed thither. Through the thirty entrances to the hall the populace flowed un ceasingly, gradually spreading over and blotting out the great waste of un painted pine chairs. As on yesterday the delegates were slow in arriving, but the distinguished guests were on hand somewhat earlier. Ex-Postmaster General Gary was con spicuous on the stage and in promi nent seats overlooking the delegates pit sat Adjutant General Corbin and General Bates The vases at the cor ners of the stage today contained flaming bunches of crimson ramblers, and at the chairman's desk was a fresh bouquet of roses and mignonette. The long- session ahead with perhaps a protracted contest over the report of the committee on credentials held no terrors for the assembling thousands. The delightfully cool and bracing weather was an assurance against dis comfort. Shortly after 11 o'clock the big mu nicipal band of Philadelphia took its place in the gallery opposite the stage and a few minutes later the strains of one of Sousa's stirring marches crashed out. WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS ACTIVE. Some of the members of the national legislative league of the women suf fragists were busily engaged while the delegates were assembling distributing appeals for a declaration by the conven tion favorable to woman, suffrage. As on yesterday many of the leading lights of the Republican party came in without causing a flurry. The first demonstration occurred when Senator Hanna entered. He could hardly make his way to the plat form owing to the pressure of the dele gates to greet him as he passed through the pit. Senator Foraker, handsome and debonair, aroused the next outburst. Governor Foster Voorhees of New Jer sey, who arrived this morning from Europe, was warmly greeted. He was escorted to the platform by Senator Sewell. At f. o'clock after Senator Hanna had reached the platform the ushers carried into the pit great bunches of red, white and blue pampas plumes. Thev looked like the same plumes that were in evidence at St. Louis, and they were probably destined to per form a similar function in the great McKinley demonstration later in the day. "Our Chauncey" was not overlooked today, and there was a great flutter of handkerchiefs from the ladies as he entered, but it was aain Governor Roosevelt who set the convention wild. Still wearing his rough rider hat he appeared as on yesterday at the main entrance, and instantly the crowds cheered frantically. ROOSEVELT THEIR IDEAL. As on yesterday as he pushed his way toward his seat his progress was impeded for the enthusiastic greeting of the delegates. Serator Piatt by his side. The governor did not appear so serenely austere as on yesterday. He smiled richt and left to the plaudits of the multitude. While the Roosevelt demonstration was in progress the eyes of the multi tude were suddenly directed to a strange spectacle in the center of the stage, as the Chinese minister, Mr. Wu Ting Fang, resplendent in rich Oriental silks and accompanied by Mr. Chung, secretary cf the legation, also richly robed in silks, came down the middle aisle of the platform. Minister Wu was first greeted at the entrance by Senator Burrows, who introduced him to several of the distinguished public men crowding about. Ex-Postmaster General Gary of Marvland. a close friend of Mr. "Wu of- 1 fered the minister hi3 arm and the two proceeded out towards the delegates. The minister smiled benignly through hia big bowed spectacles and acknowl edged in English the many salutations. General Gary seated the minister and his entourage along side the delegates. "Not a word from China," said Min ister Wu when asked as, to the alarm ing reports from Pekin. "We are wholly in the dark except for what the press brings us and we hope and sincerely believe the condi tions are not as bad as pictured. I am here unofficially as an observer to see how the American people select their candidates for the presidency." OVATION TO TAYLOR. Former Governor Taylor of Kentucky received a distinct ovation just as Sen ator Wolcott was preparing to call the convention to order. The great hall was now black with people and the scene was inspiring as the eyes roamed over the crowds of humanity. At li:2S p. m. Senator Wolcott rapped for order. Immediately the band started up the "Star Spangled Banner" and the vast audience rose en masse. Governor Roosevelt, as on yesterday, being first on bis feet. Senator Wolcott again rapped for order as the swelling strains floated away. When the convention had subsided. Rev. Charles M. Bosweil opened the proceedings with prayer. Few of the delegates rose. v hile the invocation was ascending a couple of snap shots of the convention were taken. OPENING PRAYER. Rev. Mr. Bosweil said: "Our Heaven ly Father, we come to Thee as the cre ator of men and the upholder of gov ernments. Our fathers trusted in Thee and were helped and where they led may we gladly and boldiy follow. .We thank Thee for the land in which we live; for its beloved ruler, the prosperi-' ty of its people and the victories of its army and navy. May these be abun dantly continued. "We bless Thee for having brave and wise men in charge of our executive, legislative and judicial affairs in trying times. May it always be so with Am erica. We praise Thee for these ment who have left their occupations and homes to transact business for their country by attending this convention. May Thy special favor rest upon them.J Guide them in their deliberations, plat-; form and candidates and may they be' such as shall be approved by the people, and may they continue to keep our dear' old country, whose flag we love, today better than ever before in the lead among those respected for righteous ness, liberty and humanity. "Give these delegates and their friends a healthful and pleasant stay among U3 and preserve their loved ones from harm while they are absent from them." "Specially remember those who are bearing arms for us in distant lands and hasten the day when all wars shall cease and Thine shall be the honor and glory forever. Amen." The men who applaud prayers at large gatherings were present and sig nalized their approval of the divine's invocation with hand and voice. TRIBUTE TO THE PIONEERS. A remarkable tribute to the flag and to the pioneers of the Republican party now 'occurred. Mr. W oleott stepped for ward and stated that 13 survivors of the first Republican -convention called at Pittsburg 44 years ago were present with the same old flag used in that con vention. At the moment a file of white-haired; patriarchs appeared from the rear bear ing at their head a faded American flag, tattered and barely held together by a. cross staff. As the flag appeared the audience rose, delegates, spectators and guests and a deafening salute went up for the faded standard and its venerable upholders. The 15 white haired men ranged themselves side by side looking out on the sea of faces. Alongside the flag another standard bore the legend, "National Fremont Association, Repub lican Party, Organized February 22, 1S56. at Pittsburg, Pa." When the storm of applause had sub sided the delegation read a resolution declaring their unwavering allegiance to the party they had helped to brins forth. The resolution regretted the inability of many of the members of the National Fremont association to be present be cause of advanced age and designated Major H. R. Long and J. K. Conner to represent them. The resolution conclud ed with the declaration that "We heart ily endorse the administration of Hon. Copyright, 1!00, Rockwood, N. Y.

This incident over, th chairman rec ognized Representative Payne of New York, chairman of the committee on credentials who mounted the platform and read the report of the committee. The friends of J. E. Addicks of Dela ware were in evidence when Mr'. Payne read of the victory of the Addick peo ple over the Dupont faction in that state. The report read, Mr. Payne de manded the previous question. Sen ator Sewell on behalf of New Jersey and Mr. Martin on behalf of Indiana seconded the demand, which was or dered. No one demanded the floor to debate five i'erort. and it was put through with a whirl. The convention, which evidently felt relieved at thia quck disposition of the contests, signi fied its approval with applause. General Grosvenor of Ohio, chairman? of the committee on permanent organi zation; then presented the committee report. This report was also put through with, a whirl.

2 TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL., WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE, 20, 1900. VOIITLEARH. Senator Lodge Expresses Sor row For the Opposition In His Speech Assuming Per manent Chairmanship, POINTS WITH PRIDE To the Record of His Own Party for Four Years. Great Events With Which They Have Been Crowded, Philadelphia, June 20. In assuming the permanent chairmanship of the Kepublican national convention this af ternoon Senator lienry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts spoke as follows: Senator Lodge said: One of the greatest honors that can fall to any American in public life is to be called to preside ovor a. Republican na tional convention, llow great that honor i.s you know, but you can not realize, nor an 1 express the gratit ude which I feel to you for having conferred it upon me. 1 can only say to you. in the simplest phra.se, that 1 thank you from the bottom .t my hewrt. "Beggar that I am, I am ven poor in thanks, and yet I thank yon." We met again to nominate the next president of the VniU'd States. Four years have passed since we nominated the soldier and statesman who is now presi dent, ami who is soon to enter upon his seeond term. Hi nee the Civil war no presidential term has been so crowded with great, events as that which is now drawing to a close. They have been four memorable years. To Republicans they hhow a record of promises kept, of work done, of unforeseen questionn met and an eweml. To the Democrats they have been generous in the exhibition of unfulfilled predictions, in the ruin of their hopes of t alamit y and in futile opposition to the forces of the times and the aspirations of the American people. I wish I could add that t ney had been equally instructive to our opponents, but while it is true that tue I emo ra ts. like the Bourbons. learn nothing, it is only too evident that the familiar comparison, can not be completed, tor they forget a great deal which it would be well for them to remember. In. l'.t? we took the government and the country from the hands of President Cleveland, i f is party had ftbandoned him and were joined to their idols, of which he was no lonuer one. During the last years of his term we had presented to us the melancholy spectacle of a president trying to govern without a party, me re suit was that his policies were in ruin. legislation was at a standstill and public affairs were in a perilous and incoherent condition. Party responsibilities had van ished, ami with it all possibility of intelli gent action demanded by the country at home and abroad. It waa an interesting. but by no- means singular display of Dem ocratic uniitness for the practical work of government. To the political student it was instructive, to the country it was extremely painful, to business disastrous. We replaced this political chaos with a president In thorough accord with his par ty and the machinery or government be gan again to move smoothly and effective ly. Thus, we kept at once our promise of TRtter and more efficient administration In four months after the inauguration of Prtsidf-nt MeKinley we had passed a. tariff bill. For ten years the artificial agitation in behalf of what was humorously called tariff reform, and of what was really free trade, bad kept business in a lerment, and had brought a treasury deficit, paralyzed I industries, depression, panic and finally continuous bad times to a degree never before Imagined. "Would you know the re sult of our tariff legislation, look about you. AVould you measure its success, rec ollect that it is no longer an issue, that our opponents, free traders as they are, do not dare to make It an issue, that thero Is not a state in the Union today which could be carried for free trade against protection. Never was a policy more fully justified by its works, never was a prom ise made by any party more absolutely fulfilled. Dominant among" the Issues of four years ago was that of our monetary and iinancial system. The Republican party promised to uphold our credit, to protect our currency from revolution and to main tain the gold standard. We have done so. We have done more. We have been better than our promise. Failing to se cure, after honest effort, any encourage ment for international bimetallism, we have passed a law strengthening the gold standard and planting it more iirmly than ever In our Iinancial system, improving our banking laws, buttressing our credit and refunding the public debt at two per cent interest, the lowest rate in the world. It was a great work well done. The only argument the Democrats can ad vance today in their own behalf on the money question is that a Republican sen ate, in th event of Democratic success, would not permit the repeal of a Repub lican law. This is a precious argument, when looked with considerate eyes, and quite worthy of the intellects which pro duced. Apply it generally. Upon this theory because we have defeated the sol diers of Spain and sunk her ships we can with safety dispense with the army and tiie navy which did the work. Take an other example. There has been a fire in a. great clly; it has been checked and ex tinguished; therefore let us abolish the tire depart me-nt and cease to insure our hopes. Distrust in our currency, the dread of change, the deadly fear of a de based standard were- raging four years ago and business lay prostrate before them, iiepnblican supremacy and Repub lican legisla lion have extinguished the fires of debt and fear, and business has risen triumphant from the ashes. There fore abolish your tire department, turn out the. Republicans and put In power the Incendiaries who lighted the flames and trust what remains of Republican control to avert fresh disaster. The proposition Is its os .i refutation. The supremacy of ihe party that has saved the standard of sound money and guarded it by law is as necessary for its security and for the ex istence of honest wn ges and of business eontidence now as it was in The mo ment the Kepublican parly passes from powtT and the party of free silver and bat paper comes in, stable currency and the gold standard, the standard of the civilized world, are in imminent and dead ly peril. Sound currency and a steadv stand ml of value are today safe only In Republican hands. Hut there were still other questions In ivi. We had already thwarted the ef forts of the Cleveland administration to thrown the Hawaiian islands back to their dethroned queen, and to give Kngland a foothold for her cables in the group. We then said that we would settle finally the .Hawaiian question., we have done so. The traditional American policy has been carried out. The flag of the Union floats today over the crossroads of the Paciiic. We promised to deal with the Cuban question. Asain comes the reply, we have done so. The long agony of the island is ovti. Cuba is free. Rut this groat "work brought with it events and issues which no man had foreseen, for which no party creed had provided a policy. The crisis came, bringing war in its train. The Republican president and the Republi can -.'undress met the new trial in the old spirit. We have fought the war with Spain. The result is history known of ail men. We have the perspective now of only a short two years, and yet how clear and bright the great farts stand out, like mountain peaks, against the sky. while the, gathering darkness of a Just oblivion Is creeping fast over the low grounds where lie forgotten the trivial and unim portant thins:-', the criticisms and the fault findings which seemed so huge when we. still Mncreo: among them. Here they are. these great facts. A war of a hun d i' d da y s with many l c t o ries and no defeat s. with no prisoners taken from us nd no advance stayed, with a triumphant outcome startling in Us completeness and in its world-wide meaning.

Hardy, Roston.l The permanent chairman of the Republican national convention who took the gavel from Senator Wulcott at noon today and whose speech trans mitted by the Associated Press appears in full on the second page of this paper. ever forward. We are not so made that we can be content to retreat, or to mark time. The traditions of the early days of our party are sacred to us, and are hos tages given to the American people that we will not be unworthy of the great leaders who have gone. The deeds of yes terday are in their turn a pledge and a proof of what we promise we perform and that the people who put faith in our dec larations in 1836 were not deceived, and may place the same trust in us in 3SH;0. But our pathway has never lain among dead issues, nor have we won our victor ies and made history by delving in politi cal graveyards. We are the party of to day, with cheerful yesterdays and conli dent tomorrows. The .living present is ours, the present of prosperity and activ ity in business, of good wages and Quick payments, of labor employed, and capi tal invested, of sunshine in the market place and the stir of abounding life in the workshop and on the farm. It is with this that we have replaced the depression, the doubts, the dull business, the low wages, the idle labor, the frightened cap ital ,the dark clouds which overhung in dustry and agriculture in This is what we would preserve, so far as sound government and wise legislation can do it. This is what we brought to the coun try four years ago. This is what we offer now. Again we promise that the protec tive system shall be maintained and that our great industrial interests shall go on their way unshaken by the dire fear of tariff agitation and of changing duties. Again we declare that we will guard the national credit, uphold a sound currency based on gold, and keep the wages of the working men, and the enterprise of the man of business, free from that most deadly of all evils, a liuctuating standard of value. The deficit which made this great country in a time of profound peace a borrower of money to meet its current expenditures has been replaced by abund ant revenue., bringing a surplus due alike to prosperity and to wise legislation, so amnle that we can now safely promise a large reduction of taxation without im periling our credit or risking a resort to loans. We are prepared to take steps to re vive and build up our merchant marine, and thus put into American pockets the money paid for carrying American freights. Out of the abundant resources, which our financial legislation has brought us. we will build the Isthmian canal .and lay the cable which will help to turn the current of eastern trade to the Golden Gate. We are on good terms with all nations, and mean to remain so, while we promise to insure our peace and safety by maintaining the Monroe doctrine by an.pl'1 coast defenses, and by building up a navy which no one can challenge with impu nttv. The new problems brought by the war we face with confidence in ourselves and a still deeper eontidence in the American people, who will deal justly and rightly with the islands which have come into their charge. The outcry against our new possessions is as empty, as the cant about militarism and "imperialism," is devoid of sense and meaning. Regard for a mo ment those who are loudest in shrieking that the American people are about to enter uton a career of oppression and that the republic is in d;utper. Have they been in the past the guards of freedom? Is :?ctiti jor iiueiLv nuw uir iijuiiu liivjr-c surely in the party which w.ia the de fender of domestic slavery? Js the free dom to be secured by the ascendancy of the party which beneath our very eyes seeks to establish through infamous laws the despotic rule of a small and unscrup ulous band of usurpers in Kentucky who trampled there not upon the rights of the black men only, bu of the whites, and which seeks to extend the same sys tem to North Carolina and Missouri? Has it suddenly come to pass that the Demo cratic party which today aims whenever it acquires power to continue in office by crushing out honest elections and popu lar rule: has it indeed come to pass. I say. that that party is the chosen protector of libertv? If it were so the outlook would be black indeed. No. The party of Lincoln may best be trusted now, as in the past, to be true even as he was true, to the rights of man and to human freedom, whether within the borders of the United States or in the islands which have come beneath our flair. The liberators may be trusted to watch over the liberated. We who freed Cuba will keep the pledge we made to her and will guide her along the road to independence and stable govern ment until she is ready to settle her own future by the free expression of her peo ple's will. We will be faithful to the trust imposed upon us and if among those to whom this great work Is confined in Cuba, or elsewhere, wrongdoers shall be found, men not only ba.d in morals, but dead to their cuty as Americiuis and false to the honor of our name, we will punish, vhoae basest of criminals; to the extent of the law. For the islands of Hawaii and Porto Rico the political problem has been solved and with Republican legislation they have been given self-government and are peace ful and prosperous under the rule of the United States. In the Philippines we were met by re bellion, fomented by a self-seeking adven turer and usurper. The duty of the presi dent was to repress that rebellion; to see to it that the authority of the United States, as rightfully and as righteous in Manila as in Philadelphia, was acknowl edged and obeyed. That harsh and pain ful duty President MeKinley has perform ed firmly and justly, eager to resort to gentle measures wherever possible, un yielding when treachery and violence made force necessary7. Unlike the oppo nents of expansion we do not regard the soldiers of Otis, Lawton and MacArthur, as "an enemy's camp." In our eyes they are the soldiers of the United States; they are our army and we believe i-n them and will sustain them. Even- now the Demo crats are planning, if they get control of the house." to cut off appropriations for the army aid thus compel the withdrawal of our troops from the Philippines. The result would be to force the retire ment of such soldiers as would remain in Manila and their retreftt would be the sig nal for the massacre and plunder of the great bodv of peaceful inhabitants of the islands who have trusted us to protect and guard them. Such an event would be an infamy. Is the government, is the house, to be given over to a party capable of such a policy? Shall they not rather be intrusted to the partv which will sustain the army and suppress the brigands and guerillas wh under pretense of war, are now addin so freely to the list of crimes committed, in the name of 1 berty by usurpers and pretenders and who, buoyed up by Demo cratic promises, keep up a highwayman's warfare in hope of Democratic success in November? It is for the American people to decide this question. Our position is plain. The restoration of peace and order now so nearly reached in the Philippines shall be completed. Civil government shall be established .nd the people advanced as rapidly as possible along the road to entire freedom and to self-government under our flag. We will not abandon our task. We will neither surrender nor re treat. We will not write failure across this page of our history. We will do our duty, our full cuty, to the people of the Philippines and strive by every means to give them freedom, contentment and prosperity. We have no belief in the old slave holders doctrine that the constitu tion of its own force marches into every newly acquired territory and this doctrine, which we cast cut in 1SG0. we still reject. We do not mean that the Philippines shall come without tariff system or become part of our body politic. We do mean that they shall, under our teaching, learn to govern themselves and remain under our flag with the largest possible measure of home rule. We make no hypocritical pre tenses of bein? interested in the Philip pines solely on account of others. While we regard the welfare of thos people as a sacred trust, we regard the welfare of the American people first. We see our duty to ourselves as well as to others. We believe in trade expansion. By every legiti mate means within the province of gov ernment and legislation we mean to stimulate the expansion of our trade and "to open new markets. Greatest of all markets is China. Our trade there is growing by ieaps and bounds. Manila, the prize of war, gives us inestimable ad vantages in developing that trade. It Is the cornerstone of our eastern policy and the briiliart diplomacy of John Hav in securing from all nations a guarantee nf our treaty rights and of the open door in China rests upon it. We ask the Ameri can people -whether they will throw away these new markets and widening oppor tunities for trade and commerce, by put ting in power the Democratic party, who seek under cover of a newly discovered affection for the rights of man, to give up these islands of the east and make Dewey's victory fruitless? The choice lies between this Democratic policy of retreat, and the Republican policy, which would hold -the islands, give them freedom and prosperity and enlarge those great oppor tunities for ourselves and our posterity. Thf Democratic attitude toward the Philippines rests wholly upon the proposi tion that the American people have nei' Ti er the capacity nor the honestv to deal rightly with these islands. They assume that we shrill fail. They fall down and worship a Chinese half-breed whose name they had never heard three years ago, and they slander and cry down, and doubt t he honor of American sailors and sol diers, of admirals and generals., and pub lic men who have gone in and out before us during an entire lifetime. We are true to our own. "We have no distrust of the honor, the humanity, the capacity of the American people. To feel or do otherwise is to douoi ourselves, our government and our civilization. We take isstie with the Democrats who would cast off the Philip pines because the American people can not be trusted with them, and we declare i that the American, people can be trtiFtei to deal jimly, wisely and jrenerously with tnese distant islands and will lift thm tip to a higher prosperity, a bro-tdt-r free dom and a nobler ci vilix.3 tion than they have ever known. We have not failed eisewher-. We shall not fail here. Those are the ouestions we present to the American people in regard to the Philippines. Do they want such a h'jtrril-iatins- change there as Democratic victory would bring? Do they want an even more radical change at home? Suppose the candidate of the Democrats, the Popu lists, the foea of expansion, the dissatis fied and the envious should come into power, what kind of an administration would he give us? What would his cabi net be? Think what an electric spark of confideree would run through every busi ness interest in the country when such a cabinet was announced, as we can read ily imagine he would make. More im portant still, we ask the American peotde whether they will put in the White House the hero of uncounted platforms, the prodigf.! spendthrift of words, the cham pion ni free silver, the opponent of ex pansion, the assailant of the courts; or whether they -vill retain in the presidency the Tr.ion soldier, the leader of thn house of representatives the trained statesman who has borne victoriously the heavv bur dens of the last four years; the champion of protection and solid money: the fear less supporter of law and order whnrever the flag floats? But there is one question which we will put to the American people in this cam paign which includes and outweighs all others. We will say to them: You were in the depths of adversity under the last Democratic administration, you are on the heights of prosperity today. Will that prosperity continue if vou make a change in your president and in the party which administers your government? How long will your good times last if you turn out the Republicans and give political power to those who crv nothing but "Woe. woe." the lovers jf calamity and foes of pros perity who hold success in business to be a crime and regard thrift as a misde meanor. If the Democrats should win do you think business would improve? Do you think that prices would remain Fteady, that wages would rise and em ployment increase when that result of the election was known? Business confidence rests largely upon sentiment. Do you think that sentiment would be a hope ful one the dav after Rryan's election? Business confidence is a delicate plant. Do you think it would nourish with the Dem ocratic party? Do you know that if Bryan were elected the day after the news was flashed over the country wages would go down, prices would decline and that the great amount of American business now forging ahead over calm waters, with fair breezes and with swelling canvas would begin to take in sail and seek the shelter and anchorage of the nearest harbor? Do you not know from recent, and bitter ex perience what that arrest of movement that fVar of the future means? It means the contraction of business, the reduction of employment, the increase of the unem ployed, lower wages, hard times, distress, unhappiness. We do not say that we have panaceas for every human ill. We do not claim that any po'iicv wc. or any one else can offer will drive "from the world sor row and suffering and poverty, but we say that so far as government and legis lation can secure the prosperity and well being of the American people, our admin istration and our policies will do it. We point to the adversity of the Cleve land years lying dark behind us. It has been replaced by the prosperity of the MeKinley years. L-t them make what ever explanation they will, the facts are with us. It is on these facts that we shall ask for the support of the American people. What we have done is known and about what we intend to do there is neith er secrecy nor deception. What we prom ise we will perform. Our old policies are here, alive, successful and full of vigor. Our new policies have begun and for them we ask support. When the clouds of im pending civil war hung dark over the country In we took up the great task then laid upon us and never flinched un til we had carried it through to victory. Now, at the dawn of a new century, with new policies and new opportunities' open ing before us in the bright sunshine of prosperity, we again ask the American people to entrust us with their future. We have profound faith in the people. We do not distrust their capacity of meet ing the new responsibilities even as they met the old aryl we shall await with eon tidence. under the leadership of William MeKinley, the verdict of November. NEW YORK FOR WOODRUFF. Hard Blow Given to the Roosevelt Vice Presidential Boom. Philadelphia, June 20. Lieutenant Governor Timothy L. Woodruff will be presented to the convention as the can didate of New York for vice president. It was decided to do this after a four" hours' stormy session of the New York delegation, during which every kind of appeal was made to get Governor Roosevelt to say that he would accept a rominatlon. The vice presidential situation is still mixed because it 13 assorted that New York makes this move so as to go into the convention with a candidate and yet hoping that Roosevelt will be nomi nated. Senator Hanna has stated that he controls the delegates to such an extent that he can romir.ate any can didate he pleases, and it is not known that he has withdrawn his objections to Woodruff. The latter was as much surprised as anybody over the result. The idea seems to he prevalent that Secretary Lon is the most favored candidate, with a probability that Roosevelt may stiil be nominated. Governor Roose velt believes that his wishes having been respected by his own delegation he is finally out of the race. "What is the situation. Senator?" "Roosevelt is out of it, and will not be rominated." The question was put to Senator Hanna and that is the way he answered it. This was after another effort during s -1. i 2 J. T V '1- J f T n '-f y i I I 9 4' Copyright. 1000. TIMOTHY WOOliRri'P, OF NEW YORK. Vice Presidential Possibility. the day to stampede the delegates to Roosevelt. As before the effort was made by New York and Pennsylvania. Piatt and tjtiay through their lieuten ants vorked all day to make Roose velt the candidate. The stampede which had been checked and turned the previous night was begun early yesterday morning. Many stories were circulated. Roosevelt was cuoted as saying absolutely that he would ac cept if nominated. He was also quoted as having a change of heart and want ing the nomination. In fact all kinds of rumors were in circulation and the situation remained cloudy all day and did not clear very much in the evening. One thing definitely developed. Theye is to be a fight. The nomination is not to lie made without a contest. Serin tor Hanna is doing- all he can to defeat Roosevelt, and has determined to con tirue on that line to the end. He is lining up the friends of the adminis tration against Roosevelt. In this he i! acting in harmony with the wishes of Roosevelt", who has urged all delegates visiting him not to vote for him for vice president. The next serious proposition that confronts Mr. Hanna is what he shall do as between Long and Dolliver. There is a popular sentiment for Dol liver in the west that is hard to over come. Long is regarded as a passive kind of a candidate, and while no objec tion is urged against him, he does not attract the delegates. But he is Mr. H anna's personal choice and is pre ferred by the president. Dolliver's friends have :ointed out to Senator Hanna that the Iowa candidate has now got into the fight so far that he wants to win, to which H.rna re plied that defeat would not injure Dol liver. He has already acquired a great deal of prominence, says Hanna, and he will not he injured if he should be defeated by a candidate like Long. In making the fight against Roose velt. Hanna finds the opponents of Roosevelt divided, some for Long and some for Dolliver. The auestion tit transferring the vote from one to the other without nominating the man they wish to defeat is a difficult prob lem. "If we can't do it then we have not got control of the convention," said Senator Hanna. "If the friends of the president cannot agree upon a candi date and by their differences cause the nomination, of a man that is not wanted and does not want the place, they wi'i have to take the responsibility for it." Senator Hanna did not believe there would be a loss of more than a few votes, although Dolliver men in the west declare that they will not vote for Long1, and there seems to be a large number of eastern men who are now for Long who say they prefer Roosevelt to Dolliver. The conferences between Hanna and Piatt were an interesting feature of the vice presidential contest. Hanna talked to Piatt as he had talked to Odell and Quig the day before. He told him that because Piatt did not want Roosevelt in New York was no reason why he should attempt to force him upon the party in national politics. Piatt then tried to get an agreement from Hanna to support Odell, and this was rerused on the ground of being unjust to the other can didates in the field. Piatt asked for time and the matter went back to the New York delegation. The contest has not assumed any such definite form as to even approximate the relative strength of the three candidates, for the votes for the others in view of develop ments cannot be considered more than complimentary. The action of different delegations have some significance. New Jersey with 20 votes and California with IS declared for Long. Other states evinced a desire to support any candi date agreeable to the president, whi'e there are a number of states in the west that are determined to vote for Roose velt. In Maryland there was a curious action. The delegation was favorable to Roosevelt but decided to take him at his word and not support him. Then they heard that the administration was for Long and a number of them sent word f t .Copvripht. 150I. Falk. N. Y.l HO.V. K. 15. OBDKI.U OF NEW YORK, A Favorite fur the Vice Presidency. to Hanna that Long's nomination would make it difficult to carry that state on account of the feeling for Admiral I Schley who lis a native of Maryland. Tnese delegates preferred to vote for Dolliver for these reasons. The Kansas delegation determined to vote for Roosevelt and told him so. Wis consin is another state which seems to be determined to vote for Roosevelt. It was rumored that a message had been received from the president saying that the convention must remain ua trammeled and that the administration must not be brought into the matter in any way. To whom it was sent if at all could not be learned, although it was said Senator Har.r.a had received such a message. The senator, when asked if he had received a telegram to that effect replied that he had not received a tele gram from the president since he had been in Philadelphia. The New York delegation met at 10:13 p. m., tiO delegates being present. Gov ernor Roosevelt was greeted by cheers when he entered the room. Chairman Dopew said the meeting was called for the purpose of deciding whether the New York state delegation should act upon a nomination for vice president. Governor Roosevelt had made a statement of his position, but that statement had not stopped the senti ment in his favor. He moved that Lieu tenant Governor Woodruff be allowed the privileges of the floor, and this was ordered. Mr. Woodruff said: "I have from the beginning cf the consideration of this subject occupied one position, and that was if at any time it should be apparent that the convention desired or demand ed the nomination of Governor Roose velt he should feel himself obligated to respond iavoraDly; I would not be in line against him. Otherwise I would ask for the support of the delegates of the state of New York, a considerable number of whom at one time and an other have told me that they would give me the support. I thank them. I lind from all I have heard since I have been here that the delegation want Gov ernor Roosevelt nominated for vice president. I believe that a verv laree majority, not only a very large majority but practically all of the members of this delegation desire it. Having no Dreference for any other man, it does seem to me impossible that he could resist such a demand. For that reason I have not asked any member to support my candidacy. Tt seems to me that time has now arrived when it should b? determined whether or not New Yoru is to have a candidate, Governor Ro vsevelt or somebody else, because I'beiieve it nec essary to the success of the Republican party as the state of New York is con cerned. We ouzht to have the vice presidential nomination. Our statj will be tne battleground In the campaign. If Governor Roosevelt or some other man from New York is not nominated by the convention our success w ill cer tainly be imperiled. Tha onditions have been such during the past few days that it does seem to me that this delegation should settle the matter among themselves." Governor Roosevelt spoke nxt. He snii: "Gentlemen and fellow delegates: After listening to the equally genero?3 and dignified statement of the lieuten ant governor, it is due to him that I should say one word as to my posi tion. It is simply to ask you to take the words I have uttered as at their face value. If you don't think I mean them, you don't believe in. me for vice president or anything else. But if you think I mean them, then I ask you to stand by me. After a long consulta tion with many men, not a few of whom are present here tonight. I definitely took the position that I did not wish to be nominated, for vice president; that if the Republican party chose to renomi nate me for governor I should be pleased to accept. I took that posi tion not in the least from regard to my own personal predilections but in the belief that there I could do the best service the best work because I have never felt that I had a right to say that if nominated I should refuse. Certain men have seemed to doubt me as to what I meant to say. Now, gentlemen, I want to repeat to you the last sen tence, word for word., of the statement I made yesterday. The governor then said with em phasis: "I earnestly ask that every friend of mine in the convention will respect my wishes and my judgment in the matter, and I ask it now of you, my fellow delegates, of you. my friends! who cannot be any more jealous than I am of the grand name of the parly and the party's success in New York state (Applause.) Mr. Wraldo urged the delegation to take Governor Roosevelt at his word. He begged the delegation to agree upon a candidate, but they certainly could rot decide upon Roosevelt, he said, when the governor had earnestly re quested not to support him. There w as then but one candidate before the dele gation, Mr. Waldo said, who had any considerable support, and that was Lieutenant Governor Woodruff, and the whole delegation should support him. as Governor Roosevelt was not a can didate." He closed by moving that Lieutenant Governor Woodruff be made the choice of the delegation for vice president. James B. Howe seconded the .nomina tion. Mr. "Woodruff then said: "If I thought I could be nominated by this convention I certainly would encourage the sentiment which my friend from Biooklyn has pressed. But there is an ur-.t ertainty as to whether I can be nominated even if presented by the state. There i3 not a man in the room who does not know that Governor Roosevelt can be nominated and 'hat ho would be satisfactory to every man in the convention. There may be those w.io lor reasons best known to them selves, but not to me, seek to nomirate some one else. No one else could be nominated who would be near as strong. Under these circumstances it does seem to me that Governor Roose velt ought to be the selection of New Yolk state, not necessarily that the delegation should present his name, but that he should take the nomination. Unless this delegation decides upon some one the nomination will go else w here to a state where the Republican majority is a hundred thousand." Turning to Governor Roosevelt he said: "I know that you are absolutely sincere and I know that you desire the gubernatorial nomination, but there is no question that the feeling among the delegates here makes your nomination absolutely inevitable. As long as there is any possibility of accepting the nom ination it is right that you should re ceive it by acclamation." Mr. Mitchell declared that there was only one man who could strengthen the ticket and that was Roosevelt. "If we do not present him," he said, "let us present no one." General Francis Green said: I think it would be a serious mistake to nominate Governor Roosevelt for vice president a serious mistake for the party at large, for the party in New Y'ork and for Roosevelt himself. In my humble judgment he is the strongest man in the state for the office of gover nor. It is very doubtful if any one else can be elected governor. I think if he is not the candidate for governor, we will lose the state of New York, and thereby lose the nation. I agree that the state of New York ought to have a candidate. The gover nor, does not wish the vice presidency. To whom then shall we turn. The lieu tenant governor is a worthy candidate. Edward Lauteibach, of New Y'ork. who has been or.e of the most ardent supporters of the Roosevelt vice presi dential boom, made an earnest plea for Roosevelt to take the nomination. Mr. Lauterbach finished by saying, after a passionate appeal to Roosevelt to take the nomination, "I don't think we ought to select a candidate, but sim ply let the convention do so and Gov ernor Roosevelt not declining, will be nominated." Chairman Depew said the question before the body was Mr. Wallace's mo tion to make Woodruff the candidate. In an instant a delegate jumped to his feet ar.d made a motion to substitute the name of Governor Roosevelt. There were cries of "No" and several counter motions to lay on the table and adjourn were made. Finally, a brief recess was taken after the Kings county men made a last appeal for Mr. WToodruft. .When the gavel fell again, Mr. Depew i t c Y1 9 e t, (Copyright, 1J00. See, N.

SEATON ASTONISHES QUAKERS Greetings That the Atchison Delegate Didn't Know What to Blake Of. Philadelphia, June 20. In the Chest nut Hill neighborhood in this town abides a very pious Episcopal clergy man, and his parishioners make his life the example of their daily conduct. Among other things he has taught them, especially the women, to greet their neighbors and all others whom thev meet in the street in the early part of the day with,"Christ indeed is risen." It has been the custom of the neighbor hood so long that the dear women de liver themselves of this beautiful senti ment instinctively and the men accept it has a part of the duty women owe them. Early yesterday morning Captain Jno. Seaton, "patriarch of the Kansas dele gation, was strolling along one of the shaded avenues of this neighborhood and was astonished to be greeted in this strange manner by a good, motherly sort of a woman. She said it simply and passed on her way. The incident had hardly passed from his mind when another soft voice greeted him, "Christ indeed is risen." She. too, went her way quietly and the Atchison ironmaster be gan to think he had wandered into a neighborhood of cranks. Yet these wo men were so sweet and well dressed that he waa filled with wonder. A third woman met him. "Christ in deed is risen," she said. "Yes,"responded the good captain, "so the lady back there just told me." Stole 800 Chickens. Wellington, June 20.

Nothing Has Been Heard From the Oakley Pastor. LEFT IN EARLY MAT. Went to England to Take Charge of a Fortune. Heads of Churches He Had En dowed Anxious For Funds. Kansas City, June 20. Rev. Mr. T. H. James, the Methodist minister at Oak ley, Kan., who started in May for Eng land to get a fortune that he claims is his by inheritance, has not been heard from and a number of the Methodists of the two Kansas Citys are becoming alarmed. Rev. Mr. James promised the Bethany hospital an endowment of $60,000 and said that his intentions were to endow a $1,000,000 Methodist uni versity to be instituted in Kansas City. Rev. Dr. W. P. George, pastor of the estminster Presbyterian church. read a letter at the Methodist ministers' meeting yesterday morning that had been received by Chancellor Stephens, of the Kansas City university, from Mr. Heintz, of Pittsburg, Pa., lately return ed from England. The letter stated that prior to June 1 Mr. James had not reached England. Mr. Heintz investigated the matter per sonally and found that a large number of letters awaited him and that his ar rival was expected, but it was certain that up to June 1 Mr. James had not ar rived. He started for England nearly a month ago, and his non-arrival is a mystery. A cablegram will be sent to England from Kansas City and if it is found that he has not arrived, the case will be investigated. S. E.

Mr. Betts has gone to investigate the report and find out what he can of Mr. James' where abouts. HAS NO POOR FARM. Barton County of 13,000 Population "Without a Pauper. Great Bond. Jun 20. A county of 1",000 population without a pauper and with an empty almshouse. That is Barton county, in the great wheat belt of Kansas. Forty years ago the country, which is now the wheat belt of Kansas and Oklahoma, had written across it on the maps "The Great American Des ert." This desert has been made to blossom as the rose. Barton county alone has 253,974 acres of ripening wheat, as shown by the books of the county assessor. The average yield of wheat throughout the county will be IS to 20 bushels to the acre- At 20 bushels to the acre the yield will b 5.079.4S0 bushels. It will sell for at least 55 cents a bushel. Grain buyers are going through the country contract ing; to pay 55 cents a bushel for the wheat as it comes from the threshers.

They saw this play on May 27, and although it is quite a journey from Pans to the little village in the Alps where this play is given every ten years, and it was made on purpose to see the play, they feel amply repaid for the journey as it was the grandest' thing they ever saw.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, "WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 20, 1900. 3 Nervous Prostration from whatever cause overwork, dissipation, insomnia, care, worry tends directly to permanent invalidism or the insane hospital. It is the bane of the present age and of the Ameri can people. In the mad pursuit of money, men forget health, happiness, everything but business and the ac cumulation of wealth, which, if se cured, becomes valueless, because they have no health with which to enjoy it. The happy possessor of a healthy body never knows he has a body because of any ache or pain, and with systematic, reasonable attention to business, invariable rest and recre ation hours, plain, nourishing diet, almost anyone can be well. There are times, however, when there is an unavoidable strain. Use a few doses of to tide over the emnrgv-ncy. It will assist to maintain the well body at its normal standard, and i'or the alreadv sk k th-jro is nothing bettor to build up the constitution and rehabilitate the nervous system.

SPORTINMEWS. The Sailor and Lanky Bob Will Fight Again. Agreed That Such a Bout Would Draw 50,000 Crowd. ALONG IN DOG DAYS. Fitzsimmons' Hand Is Rapidly Coming Around. Bout W ould Be at Seaside Club In Early August. New York, June 20. Tom Sharkey and Eob Fitzsimmons have been prac tically matched to meet in a twenty five round bout at the Seaside Sport ing club at Coney Island the early part of August. When Fitzsimmons met Tom O'Rourke a day or two ago this conversation occurred: "Will you fight Sharkey at the Sea side club?" "Certainly. I will box him anywhere, for as I beat him once I am perfectly sure that X can do the same thing again." O'Rourke then informed Fitzsimmons that a fight between him and Sharkey in this vicinity would surely draw not less than $f,0,000, and Bob agreed with him. As Fitzsimmons" injured hand is rapidly coming around all right and promises to be well enough for him to tight with by the second week in Au gust, it is probable the match will be arranged. JOHN L. IN TRAINING. The Old Gladiator May Get in Condi tion Again. New York, June 20. Can it be pos sible that John L. Sullivan is training for a fight? Training he certainly is, but up to the present he has issued no challenge. It may be the old gladi ator will attempt to get in condition first, and then if he sees his physical resources warrant it, issue the challenge Sullivan is over at Metuchen, N. J., and a report from that burg says he is training diligently. John L. is using the time of his stay to take off some of the flesh, and clad in a red sweater he takes to the road daily, and, despite his age and weight, hits up a lively pace. He seems in good health, and his face is clearing under the inlluence of his exercise, short a time as he has kept it up. When Sullivan was asked if he in tended to enter the ring again he winked and was noncommittal. How ever, if the old chap manages to get his flesh off by a couple of months' hard work he may throw a scare into the pugilistic camp. M'GOVEEN COMING WEST. Will Be in Kansas City on Democratic Week.

Judge Burton, chairman, the members canea upon governor Roosevelt at nis room. Judge Burton announced to the governor that the Kansas delegation had determined unanimously and irre vocably to support him for vice presi dent. In his reply Roosevelt reiterated the statements he had made during the past three days, insisting that he did not desire the nomination and urging al his friends to refrain from voting for him. At the conclusion nf thp prwernnr's statement. Judge Burton said: "Gover nor, we have heard your wishes. Now listen to our demand. You must be the candidate for vice president." men turning to the members of the delegation, resplendent in their silk sunflowers, he said: "Gentlemen, allow me- to present to you the next vice pres ident or the United States." The gover nor greeted the members individually bu: persisted in his urgency that they snouid not vote tor him. Almost im mediately afterwards Governor Roose velt left his rooms and went down stairs to attend the meeting of the New York delegation. As he passed through the lobby of the hotel, not turning aside for anything or anybody, he was greeted with enthusiastic cheers. The Minnesota delegation will meet today to consider the advisability of placing the name of ex-Senator W. D. Wauhburn of the state before' the con vention for vice president. It is believed to b? almost certain that the delegation will decide to honor the ex-senator, and Cushman K. Davis will be the man to rnaki the nominating speech. Many of the delegates expressed themselves as being' in favor of nominating Mr. Wash burn and voting for him until a candi date Is decided upon. Ihe Ltah delegation is deadlocked in the selection of a national committee man and it appears more than likely that ihe disagreement will be carried to the national committee for settle ment. Three of the delegates Gover nor Wells, Thomas Kerns and Edward Loose presented the name of O. J. Salisbury, but he is not satisfactory to the remainder of the delegation. The six alternates are also opposed to him. Their objection is based on the fact that Salisbury bolted the party and went over to Bryan refusing to serve on the rational committee after he had been elected in St. Louis. The delegates opposed to him are Senator Brown, George H. Hanson and George Suther land. Taeir first choice is R. S. Mc- Cormick, a prominent banker of Salt Lake, but they assert that any good Republican will be satisfactory. Num erous conferences have been held but the Salisbury contingent refuses to compromise. Delegates Kerns and Loose are millionaire silver miners. After two days of uncertainty the California delegation decided to sup port Secretary Long for vice president. Some of the delegates would be glad to vote for Roosevelt, but they are in clined to take him at his word and re frain from voting for him. George Knight, chairman, said that under the circumstances it would cast its 18 votes for Long. The secretary is very popular, not only in California, but all along the Pacific coas:t, with Roosevelt out of the race, he wi 1 in the opinion of his Cali fornia frienls, receive generous support from that section. The Colorado delegation will vote for Roosevelt f:r vice president. Several members of the delegation do not look upon Roosevelt's nomination with favor but will acquiesce in the wishes of Sen ator Wolcott. REPUELICANS JOLLIFY. Big Mass Meeting Addressed by Prominent Politicians. Philadelphia,, June 20. Last night a big mass meeting was held in Academy of Music at which Mayor Ashbridge of this city presided. This is the building in which Gen. Grant was nominated m 1872. A number of distinguished Repub licans addressed the meeting. Representative Grosvenor, of Ohio, quoted Congressman Bailey as saying in 1898 that if prosperity followed the pas sage of the Dingley bill, there would be no necessity for Democratic nomination in 1900. and in vi;w of present conditions he called on Ba. ley to make good the Implied promise. Lafayette Young of Iowa was intro duced by Mayor Ashbridge as represen tative of Congressman Dolliver, whose candidacy for vies president he support ed in brief speech. Senator Penrose, of Pennsylavnia, Sen ator Thurston, of Nebraska, and Con gressman Dalzell, of Pennsylavnia, also spoke. The Blaine club of Cincinnati was giv en a banquet last night by William R. Leeds association, one of the largest and most active local Republican clubs. Over 500 men participated and the en tertainment lasted until long after mid night. Many leaders; attended' and made informal speeches, including Senators Foraker, Wolcott, Penrose and Shoup, Congressmen Dolliver. Cannon and Bingham and ex-Senator Quay. PLATFORM MAKING. The Committee on Resolutions Worked Nearly All Night Philadelphia. June 20. The committee on resolutions is finding difficulty in agreeing upon a declaration of principles. All agree upon the sentiment to oe expressed along me entire line or suDjects to be covered dui tne ainicuity is in nnding common ground of expression. The full commit tee placed the matter in the hands of eleven of its members as a sub-commit tee. The committee had before it the draft of the platform prepared by Postmaster oenprai bmitn and senators t oraKer and lairbanks, and while.it found the docu ment elegantly expressed, the opinion was expressed by several of the members that it was of too great length and not suffi clently "catchy" in phrase for popular consumption. Mr. Quigg was especiallv zealous in advocating a change to meet this objection. Ihe committee, thereture. referred all the resolutions to him with in structions to put them in plain and simple language. Mr. Quigg spent a part of the evening in this task, and when the sub committee convened at midi ight, present ed his draft to them. The committee reconvened at 5 o'clock when the following members were ap pointed a sub-committee to d.ft and sub- mit a platform to the full committee: Sen ators Fairbanks of Indiana. Eavis of Min nesota, Gallinger of New Han. pshire, For aker of Ohio. Carter of Montana and McCumber of North Dakota: and Messrs.

Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania intro duced a declaration for an executive de partment of the government to be known as the department of commerce and in dustry, but it was referred to the sub committee. When the sub-committee convened a delegation of ladies from the Suffrage as sociation was admitted to present argu ments for a resolution which they sub mitted, asking congress to submit to the state legislatures an amendment to the constitution granting the elective fran chise -to women. The delegation was headed by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the equal suffrage associa tion, and Mrs. Annie Shaw, vice presi dent of that association, and they both made brief speeches in support of the proposition. A protest against the suffrage plank was also submitted. This was handed in by Mrs. Frances M. Scott of New York. Mrs. J. Eliot Cabot of Massachusetts, Mrs. Caroline F. Corbiti of Illinois, Mrs. R. W. Wilbur of Oregon, Mrs. Samuel Cassady of Iowa, and Mrs. C. W. Griggs of Wash ington, each of them president of a state or city society opposed to the extension of suffrage. They took the position that "an extension of the suffrage to a very large body of new voters is a serious step, and one which should be taken only when it clearly appears that such an extension is necessary to the general welfare of the community or that it is called for as an act of justice to a body of citizens who are sufferiner some deprivation of their rights by reason of present disqualifica- SENATOR CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW, Whom Governor Roosevelt May Ask to xaKe nis Place in seconding Mc Kinley's Nomination for Fear of Creating the stampede. tion," and asked: "Can it be proved that eitner ot these reasons exists so far as the women of this country are con cerned?" Another delegation that wa? heard verv briefly was composed, of colored men and was headed by Representative White. They awked for the insertion of planks denouncing mob violence in the south and against the suppression of the ballots of citizens in the southern states. The whole matter was referred to Mr. Lvnch. of Mississippi with instructions to draft a pianK covering the southern question. ti. M. Hanna. of Indiana, and Henrv C Payne of Wisconsin, were heard at some length in support of the request to in corporate, the following plank in the plat form "The employment of the people is the contentment of the people. The greatest neneiaction to man is the opportunity to labor. Our best hope for continued pros perity lies in winning the world's markets lor tne products or the American tarm and factory. Low interest rates are po tent factors in securing this result. The wise financial legislation already enacted by the Republican party contributes to this end. Having secured stabilitv in our currency we now favor additional mone tary legislation to equalize and lower the rates ot interest by providing flexible and sufficient medium of exchange for the benefitof the borrower, as well as the lender of money in order that American commerce may be enlarged and that labor may be assured ot steady and remunera tive employment." l ney made an earnest plea for the reso ution, but it met with opposition on the rround that it was liable to be interpreted as calculated to disturb the financial leg islation already secured. The draft of the platform as proposed by Senators Foraker and Fairbanks and otners was then read bv Mr. Foraker. It is the same document which was previous ly outline, out. several verbal changes were suggested. Objection was made that it w-as too long and it was referred to a subcommittee to revise and shorten, if possible. There was considerable discussion of the financial plank, which, as it stands, is an absolute declaration for the gold standard. Several modifications of this resolution were considered, among them one sug gested by the Colorado delegation which met with favor among the western mem bers. It read as follows: VThe Republican party by tradition and principle is in favor of bimetallism and upon all proper and opportune occasions will advocate the co-operation of the United States with the other leading com mercial nations of the world to secure the free coinage of both gold and silver at a. fixed ratio." The question was not settled at the early evening meeting. Pending its discussion the sub-committee adjourned to await the actinn of its revisers, to meet again at midnight. The recess until midnight was taken for the purpose of permitting Lemuel E. Quigg, the New York member of the com mittee, to go through the draft of the platform and to make the changes neces sary stated bv the action of the sub-committee. When the recess was taken at 9 o'clock a positive policy had been decided upon on most of the questions considered proper for action. The principal declaration of the finan cial plank had been completed, but there was still doubt as to whether any refer ence would be made to silver, with the in dications favorable to a slight recogni tion of international bimetallism. This, however, to be accompanied by the posi tive declaration that without international agreement, bimetallism is not to receive any recognition whatever. At that hour, however, the resolution declared abso lutely tor the maintenance of the gold standard, commended the passage of the final legislation of the last session of con gress and then adds some features from the plan suggested by Messrs. Hanna and Payne favoring such legislation as will se cure lower rates of interest in times of linancial stringency by permitting the temporary issuance of a limited increase of 'the bank circulation to be secured by depositing United States bonds. On the question of trusts the document says that "while recognizing the neces sity and legitimacy of the co-operation of capital in the promotion of the industrial enterprises, we are opposed to all combin ations intended to restrict trade, to limit production, to affect prices and to destroy competition, and we favor such legislation as will effectively prevent abuses liable to arise from such combinations." There is also a declaration in the inter est of labor with which is coupled a de mand for the restriction of immigration. This plank says that "In the interest of tne American worKmgman, we tavor such legislation as will regulate and restrict foreign immigration. There is also a demand for the raising of the age limit of children employed in factories and for shorter hours of labor for ail classes of laborers. The president is commended for his ten der of mediation in the war between Great Britain and the 1 ransvaal reoublic. and this is coupled with the declaration that in view of the restrictions placed upon him by the Hague treaty, he could not go lurtner. 1 he tact is pointed opt. however, that no other nation has gone so far in manifesting sympathy for the Boers. There is the usual declaration for a pro tective tariff, coupled with an expression or commendation or tne course or the Re publican party in enacting the Dinelev law and a determination to maintain the Dnhcv expressed in that law. The president's course in the war with Spain, in the Philippines and in Cuba and Porto Rico is commended. There are two or three drafts of the resolution, all dif ferine in phraseology and all the same in sentiment, but it is not known which one of them will be accepted. A liberal pension policy is favored lib- eral laws and the liberal administration of them. There is a declaration in favor of maintaining the country's pledges to Cuba in the matter of independence: de mand for the maintenance of the present civil service law and for its extention to the new possessions as far as practicable under prevailing conditions; a declaration for the protection of the colored people of the southern states in their rights un der the constitution; commendation of the movement for gocd roads in the country, in corporated at the instance of Senator Gal linger, and a suggestion looking to the re moval of a portion of the war taxes. The sub-committee of the committee on platform resumed its sitting at midnight and adjourned a few minutes after 2 o'clock. It concluded its draft of the fin ancial plank which is as above given with the addition of the following clause: "We are unalterably opposed to the free coinage of silver, unless by agreement with the commercial nations of the world." There was a declaration for a canal across the Isthmus of Panama, but no pronouncement for the Nicaraguan or any other specific route. Following is the plank with reference to the Boers: "We sympathize with the people of the Transvaal republ:cand approve the course oi tne president or tne unitea states in tendering the mediation of this country in the struggle between that republic and the kingdom of Great Britain and we fur ther express the hope that the contest may terminate with honor to both the contesting parties." The specific allusion to the acquisition of the Philippines and Porto Rico, and to the course of the president with reference to them as well a3 to other incidents and results of the Spanish-American war is approved. The present situation in China is re ferred to in a paragraph suggesting it to be the dutv of the United States to pro tect the interest of its citizens wherever they may be. COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS Have a Lively Time Settling Contests Texas Delegates in a Fignt. Philadelphia, June 20. The committee on credentials, after an all night session, adjourned at 6 a. m., having completed all its business. A lively fist fight between two Texas delegates occurred at 4:30 o'clock, just after the committee had listened to ar guments from contesting delegates in that state. As the delegates were leaving the committee room, W. H. Love, a delegate from McKinney, Texas, accused Walter Burns of having made statements in the committee room which were not true. Burns denied that he had made any such statements and Love called him a. liar. Burns promptly planted his fist in Love's face with a violence that would have laid Love on the floor had not some bystanders caught him. Bums after striking the blow stood quietly watching Love, who was making des perate efforts to break away from the men who were holding him. Love had a knife partially drawn from his pocket. "I'm through," said Burns, "unless he starts it again." Love was "finally hustled down the stairs and taken away by his friends. Immediately after this row two cplor ed delegates began to make violent threats and warlike demonstrations at each other. This trouble also involved a question of veracity. They were drag ged apart without difficulty. In the Tennessee contest case the Brownlow people won a clean victory over the Evans faction, the committee Copyright, lit(;o.l EX-SEN.

The Texas delegation pre sented eleven counties two among the delegates at large, and nine in the first nine districts. The contestees were followers of E. H R. Green and opposed the delegation al ready seated, headed by Congressman R. B. Hawley, of Galveston. The issue was disastrous to the Green people who not only lost all their contests, but had one man supplanted by a Hawley fol lower in the Fourth district. Two Hawley delegates were given the seats from the Sixth district, no dele gates from there previously having been admitted to the convention, in the Sec ond Virginia district, the contests brought by Harry Libbey and Alva H. Martin against George E. Bowden and W. S. Holland proved a failure, the claims of the Bowden delegates being confirmed by the committee. The contest in the District of Colum bia was terminated by a decision in fa vor of John E. Jones and w. C. Chase, the present delegates. COX THE BOSS STILL. There Was Opposition to Re-electing Him Committeeman, But He won. Philadelphia, June 20. One of the prettiest contests among the state dele gations was that m the Ohio delegation for national committeeman. Three can didates had announced themselves, and while it seemed certain that George B. Cox, of Cincinnati, would be chosen, one of the other candidates, M. A. Norris, of Youngstown, suddenly developed un expected strength. Just prior to the meeting his friends asserted with confidence that he would be elected. They reckoned without the votes, however, for, of the 46 votes In the delegation, Cox received 23. THE ELEVATOR DEOPPED. Fell Seven Stories in Hotel Walton Injuring Several. Philadelphia, June 20. The elevator In the Hotel Walton fell seven stories at midnight and Injured five of the passen gers and the elevator boy. The two passengers most seriously hurt were J. C. Pringey, a delegate from Oklahoma, and Brenton F. Hall, a delegate from Belding, Mich. Dr. Burton and Walter Hunter, of Delaware; Marcellus West, of Washing ton, and Dr. Camden, of Texas, were al so among the injured. Prir.gey and Hall have broken legs. Dr. Camden, of Texas, had an arm and leg broken by being thrown out of the elevator as the elevator fell. All of the injured are being cared for, two having been taken to hospitals. HOSE WATER SIDETRACKED. Nebraska Failed to Elect the Omaha Editor National Committeeman. Philadelphia, June 20. Editor Rose water of the Omaha Bee was sidetrack- L f ed by his election as Nebraska's mem ber of the resolutions committee. The delegation met at S o'clock and comple ted its organization In everything ex cept the election of a national commit teeman. That was left for a later met ing. Mr. Rosewater wanted to be na tional committeeman and although he carried the state convention which chose delegates at large, the district delegates were almost solidly against him. RAILROAD NEWS.

Doe, brother of Dick Roe. was captured but refused to give his name.

TWO PERSONS SHOT. Trouble Continues in St. Louis on Account of Strike. St. Louis, June 20. There were two shooting affrays last night as a result of the strike.

It is said thai the car carried among Its passengers several members of posse comitatus. Miss Winnie Allen was shot under similar circumstances, but in her case it is known that a posse man fired the shot. The weapon used was a riot shot gun, load of buckshot finding lodgement in one of the young woman's nether limbs, inflicting serious wounds. DEATH FROM A LITE WIRE. City Marshal of Galena Receives a Fatal Shock. Galena, Kan., June 20. City Marshal Milford Parker was killed late last night. A telephone wire had fallen across the sidewalk and he picked it up to wrap it around a post. He walk ed a distance of about thirty feet with it in his hands when he suddenly pitch ed forward dead. In pulling the wire to tie it up, it touched a live wire which connected the current. Within thirty seconds prior to this he had hold of his little three-year-old daughter s hand who stood almost against him when he received the shock. BAKER INjiABNESS Senator Assumes Personal Sn peryision of His Campaign. Chairman Albaugh Keeping Out of the Fight. The absence of Senator Lucien Eaker -in Washington during the session of congress gave his opponents in the sen atorial contest some advantage in the organization of their forces but the time that has thus been lost by the Baker forces will be more than made up in the activity with which the campaign on the part of Mr. Baker will be conducted from this time on. One of the incidents in this campaign on the part of Mr. Baker and Mr. Bur ton is the frequency with which they call upon their friends to work first for the success of the party; that being par amount to the success of the individual. However, much as the two leading can didates for the place aspire to the crea tion of a sentiment of this character, the senatorial contest is being made the most important fight of the campaign. Senator Baker is reported this week to be out on a trip looking after some of his fences in various parts of the state, the purpose of the senator being to get his workers Into line and to dis cuss the plans for the campaign. The first meeting of this character was held at Leavenworth the first of the week, I. E. Lambert, Frank Brown, Judge W. C. Hook, and other friends of the senator being present. The plan of campaign was discussed and the pre liminary movements were arranged so that the friends of the senator could go to work. From now until the election Mr. Eaker will have active supervision of his own campaign and he 13 now working with confidence in the result. Mr. Baker and his friends feel sure of his re-election in the event the legisla ture is elected by the Republicans. It has been charged that Chairman Albaugh of the state Republican com mittee had joined the Burton forces and would be against Mr. Baker. This ru mor lacks confirmation and there are no indications that Albaugh will take anj' part in the senatorial contest. The politicians say that Chairman Al baugh will attend strictly to the man-" agement of the affairs of the state com mittee and will be impartial on every proposition, so far as it is possible for a man to be. The friends of Albaugh do not claim for him infallibility but they are persistent in the assertion that he is a fair minded man and that he will not jeopardize his own interests as chairman of the state committee by be coming entangled in the contest whica might embarrass him. The Baker and Burton forces are still claiming that each was responsible for the election of Mr. Albaugh to the posi tion of chairman but this question will be eliminated later on and if the chair man takes no part in the contest the actual facts concerning the election will probably never reach the public. The Burton folks have intimated that in making Albaugh chairman they did not bind him to support Burton for the senate but they do claim that Mr. Al baugh was compelled to promise to keep out of the fight, not helping either canoiaate. There is one thing certain about the state chairman. He thinks the state icket and the legislature should be first elected before so much energy is ex- penaea on tne senatorial fiuht but he will not suggest to the prospective sen ators wnat they should do. but will on the contrary warm the campaign uo as mucn as he can in the interests of suc cess for the party. SHE GOT A WAY. One Missionary Who Escaped From the Boxers. San Francisco, June 20. Mrs. A. P. Lowrie, a Presbyterian missionary, who has been stationed at Pao Ting Fine for the last six years arrived here on the Doric. She reports that on the night of May 16 many native Christians, principally women and children were murdered by the boxers while fleeimr from Pao Ting toward Tien Tsin. This was about ten miles from Mrs. Lowrie'a station which was not disturbed. The native Christians had been at tacked on May 15, but successfully re pulsed the horde of murderers, but in trying to reach Tien Tsin the following night were overtaken and murdered and the boxers then returned to Pan Ting, and burned all the houses of their victims. On Tour of Duty. San Francisco, June 20. Battery N. Third artillery and battery M. Sixth ar tillery, have left this city for Ft. Mon roe, va., on a tour of duty at the artil lery school of instruction. They took with them in custody, as far as Kan sas City, Peter C.

He was tried by court martial at the Pre sidio last March and found guilty of having embezzled funds of the govern ment. Have 700 Acres of Wheat Parsons, June 20.

'Phone W7 importers' Room Bell 'Phone 5i7 When boss meets boss then comes the tug of war in the vice presidential business. It is announced from St. Louis that the strikers will fight the street cars with automobiles. Hanna might settle the Delaware fght by having Addicks nominated for vice president. The person or persons who induced Dinvpy to announce his candidacy for the presidency are still in hiding. Instead of choosing the man who built the Oregon as a vice presidential candidate, why not take the man who Bailed her? The concert of the powers in placing troops in China is perfect, but when it comes to removing them, why, that is another story. Governor Tavlor seems to be more Fuecessful in securing recognition from tne chairman of the national conven tion than he was in securing it from the courts. The Pittsburg Dispatch Is unkind enough to bint that the Dolliver boom is based on a desire to get the Iowa man into a position where he will have no excuse for talking. Those delegates who favor the nomi nation of a member of the administra tion for vice president probably do so on the theory that there cannot be too much of a good thing. Immediately following the announce ment that Sir. Bryan had enlarged and improved his front porch comes one to the effect that he will not make a speech-making tour of the country after his nomination. The first nominating national con vention of the Republican party was held in Philadelphia, in 1836. It noml nated Fremont and Dayton, who were defeated by Buchanan and Breckin ridge. The one now in session is the twelfth in the history of this great po litical organization. Eight of its noml rues for the presidency have been elected, viz., Abraham Lincoln, in 1SG0, and again in 1S64; IT. S. Grant, in 1868. nd again in 1872; Rutherford B. Hayes, in 1S76; James A. Garfield, in 1SS0; Benjamin Harrison, in 13S8, and William McKinley. in 1896. Its nomi nees have been defeated at three elec tions only John C. Fremont, in 1S36, James G. Blaine, in 1S84, and Benja min Harrison, in 1S92. Including the present convention, Philadelphia will have been the meeting place of three; five have met in Chicago, one in Baltl more, one in Cincinnati, one in Minne apolls, and one in St. Louis. GOVERNMENT ROAD BUILDING From the Philadelphia Call. Uncle Sam cannot be accused of lack ing in paternal care for his own. But of all the channels for the distribution of his beneficence agriculture lies closest to his heart. For gifts through the navy or the war department, the state or treauury department, you have to ask a good many times befoe your Uncle Kamuel will hear. Approach him through the postoITice department or Ihe department of the interior and he is as elot:e as a Connecticut parson But mention agriculture to Uncle Sam and he smiles, his purse strings loosen by a natural movement, and his gen eiosity knows no bounds. Agriculture Is Uncle Sam's strong point. It' is likewise his greatest weakness. Pump kin seeds, tulip bulbs, sunflower cones, patent washes for weevil, rust and cut worms anything pertaining to agricul ture? Uncle Sam will give away with a free hand, but he wouldn't give you ft postage stamp for worlds. The latest fad of Uncle Sam's is to order his chief engineer to go into ag ricultural communities, far and near, end build a good piece of road. Doyles town is one of the beneficiaries of this generosity. A road with Telford foun dation and macadam surface is being constructed between Doylestown and the National Farm school. The idea is to make a piece of road so good by contrast that the farmers will be ashamed of their other roads. They will not onlv want to build better roads then, but by looking on while Uncle Sam is building his piece they will learn just how to do It. After F'eitie how Uncle Sam removes the day surface, lays a Telford foundation and covets it with crushed macadam it Is believed no farmer would dare run a plow along a road, loosening up the dirt and laying it in neat furrows along the center and call it road-making-. Road building by the government has not made much progress. The present undertaking In that line will do more than all else to stimulate the desire for good roads.. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. Marriage is like mining: a great thing rwhen you strike it. Usually, before a man falls in busi he has a great deal to say about how hard he has worked, and how he has failed to receive proper apprecia tion. An Atchison woman had grounds for divorce before she was married. Occasionally a man has no other suc cess than to illustrate what bad man agement can do. Some people resolve to make the world joyous by their example, and are too good natured. Kvery woman complains of some neighbor who never comes over except when she wants to borrow. "You have heard about the woman who is worth her weight In gold. You are rapidly getting there." Extract from an Atchison love letter. POINTED PARAGRAPH 3 From the Chicago News. Be loving and you will never want for love. Only children play ball. Men make a lousiness of It. j Why should a clock be arrested for striking the hour? Reason is a man's guide, but principle is his safe-guard. People who have long faces are apt to have short understandings. A rural editor says the lay of the hen lays allover that of the poet. If you would have a good servant se lect neither a friend nor a relative. Better remain poor than acquire wealth at the expense of your good name. A hardware clerk isn't necessarily a defaulter because he sells iron and bolts. In driving a nail a woman either drivers it crooked or hits her finger. As a rule the man who talks loudest in an argument is in the wrong. Don't imagine that you can win the regard of your neighbors by saying just what you think. Life is often but a dream to a young man until experience treads on his corns and wakes him up. A learned scientist has made the startling discovery that habitual thirst is the cause of habitual drunkenness. According to statistics lightning strikes more women than men each year probably because they are more at tractive. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. The dealer in feathers should have no difficulty in getting down to business. Some men say they never get a show, while with other men success is a con tinuous performance. 'A'woman in politics," says the Man- ayunk Philosopher, "always reminds me of a hen in a duck pond." A woman who was arrested uptown last night gave her name as Delia Gate, and added that she was a stranger in town. Hoax "What is the first thing a wo man does when a caterpillar crawls on her neck? Joax "Rubberneck, I sup pose." Scribbler "Why do you call your new play 'Electricity?' "Playwright "In the hope that it might prove a current at traction." Blobbs "Do you think children should be encouraged in asking ques tions?" Slobbs "Certainly. Wisdom only conies to the whys." Some are for Davis, some for Scott, Some say that Woodruff's not amiss; And there are others, quite a lot, Who simply Long for Bliss. NO MORE HARVEST HANDS. Labor Bureau Abandons the Kansas City Branch. B. P. Scott, assistant secretary of the state labor bureau, has returned from Kansas City, having discontinued the branch of the department which has been maintained there for some time to aid in supplying the state with harvest hand. Mr. Scott worked with the railroads in supplying the demand for men. and was successful in placing S00 men at work. This is in addition to the thousands of men who went out of Kansas City on boxcars. When sending men out to the various points Scott would purchase tickets for the whole number and out of the S00 sent out not a single one was lost from the party. "The average wages," said Mr. Scott today, "paid to the men sent out is $2 per day. Some receive more; some less. "Ninety per cent of the men who went to work through this department were from eastern Kansas and western Mis souri. Not a single one of those who applied to us for work was without money. All of them had money and clothing." The men sent out by Mr. Scott were distributed as nearly as possible pro portionate to the requests for men which, now on file in the department, show the following demands for men to work in the harvest: Great Bend 200 25 50 50 150 Abbyville Minneapolis Solomon Ellinwood Lewis Milan Mitchell Russell Pratt Ellis Rush 12 50 200 100 30 400 Detroit l escotl 25 Oklahoma City .'lio Kremlin, Ok go EXCURSION TO BEATRICE.!

WILLIAMS IS DEFIANT. Liquor Men Try to Secure Discharge of Prohibition Leader. There is no man in Kansas who is more bitterly or generally despised by liquor men than Mont Williams of Lansing, chairman of the Prohibition state central committee, who is prom inent in the Prohibition gathering here today. Williams has earned the hatred and ill-will of the brewers and local vio lators in Leavenworth county until sev eral attempts have been made to do him personal violence. Only a few weeks ago two men attempted to pull v imams out or a buggy, presumaDij for the purpose of clubbing him. Wil liams at the time was in the buggy with his wife going to church. Williams is an uncompromisingenemy of the liquor traffic. He believes it pos sible for the governor to enforce the prohibitory law on tlie pike and in Klondike alike and his utterances con cerning this subject have not been of the kind calculated to exercise a sooth ing iniiuence upon the consciences of the men who do not take the pains to come within the provisions of the state law when the subject of selling liquor is considered. In a modest way some years ago Wil liams took up the fight against the liquor element which has always been notorious in Leavenworth county and has since been getting deeper into the squabble which is always going on there. During all of this time he has been the local or joint agent of the Mis souri Pacific and Union Pacific rail roads at Lansing. Wrilliams made the race for congressman at large upon the Prohibition ticket two years ago and was especially bitter in his denunciation of those who deal in liquors. Williams is a vigorous campaigner and the remarks which he made were of such a character as to attract the attention of the element he was fight ing. His speeches were reported and with these documents the brewers and shippers of liquor into Leavenworth county opened the heavy artillery. It was demanded at the outset that Wil liams be removed from the county. Later this was amended to a demand that he be discharged from the service ot the company. W ith this sort ot a fight against him Williams has kept an incessant hammering against the liquor element. Representatives of the liquor traffic called on Williams and offered to dismiss the fight against him if he would agree to stop the fight against them. This he refused to do and the case which they made is now pending in the office of the general manager of the Missouri Pacific. START'S PREDICAMENT. Ordered Released But Court Is Not in Session. Al Start, a prisoner in the state pen itentiary, according to a decision of the supreme court is to be released, but the district court which has been ordered to carry this mandate into effect does not convene until December so the prisoner seems to be up against a diffi cult proposition. Start hails from the short grass coun try where it was fashionable to have notches on a gun barrel indicative of the number of men the possessor of the gun had killed. Start had trouble and used his gun but he did not earn the right to have a notch filed on his re volver. The victim did not die. Start was tried under charges of assault with intent to kill. He was convicted and sent to the penitentiary. The ease was appealed to the supreme court, which at the last session, or dered the district court to release Start from prison. The district court does not convene until December so the offi cers interested are here asking the su preme court to amend the order to give Start his liberty at once. Leavenworth's Population. Leavenworth, June 20. The Leaven worth census enumerators have com pleted their work and they report a pop ulation within the city limits of 21,022. This is a gain of 1,242 over the popula tion of Leavenworth in 1890. Bickerdyke Home Officials. McPherson, June 20.

PICTURESQUE CLUBS. Two From Washington, Composed of Negroes, Are in the Lead. Philadelphia, June 20. The most pic turesque clubs that have arrived so far are the 31aine Invincibles and the W. Calvin Chase Republican clubs, both of Washington. These clubs are com posed of negroes. The Invincibles, at tired in tall hats, tan frock coats, tan trousers and gloves, bearing red and white umbrellas, marched up Broad street headed by a negro band which played "Dixie" "and "Yankee Doodle." The W. Calvin Chases wore gray hats, i coats, trousers, and gloves, and car ried umbrellas similar to the Invin cibles. The Chase club was for Wood ruff. It lined up in the street in front of the Walton, and one. monumental negro, with a fine white beard, veiled at the top of his lungs, "What's the matter with Woodruff-f-f The hundred marchers gave the ex pected answers; then somebody called for three "ch?ers for the lieutenant gov ernor.

The club expected that Mr. Woodruff, whom they regard ed as a very generous gentleman, would do something, make a speech, or at least appear at the window and bow. But Mr. Woodruff didn't appear. Final ly the marchers became impatient and one of them, turning to the others, said: "Well, lets move on; there's nothing doing here." Then the marshal rCopvright. lflX. CONGRESSMAN JONATHAN P.

All the red and white umbrellas were furled and the line moved on. The Young Men's Blair e club of Cincinnati arrived in the afternoon and brought a big band, which serenaded the guests at the Walton. This cub was organized in the Blaine campaign and most of its members have belonged to it ever since then. They are proud of their organiza tion and marching ability.

Bets that the Governor Will Head the Ticket. St. Louis, June 20. A special to the Reoublic says: Stock brokers were busy during the closing hour of the market betting on tne possibility ot Governor Roosevelt being nominated for president by the Republican, convention. The opening odds were 1 to 10, the small end being in affirmation of such a nomination. At these odds Sidney S. Schuyer placed money with J. S. Jones of Jones, Maury Co. George S. Lancon also if"

REV. EDGAR M. LKV'Y, L. D., OF 1 K N X S V I V A N 1 A Chosen Chaplain of the Republican Na tional Convention. placed two bets at the same odds with J. Ivins and a representative of Charles Fairchild Co. Immediately before the. close of the market the odds shifted quickly, the representatives of some Philadelphia firms offering 1 to 2 that Roosevelt would be nominated for the first place. The fact that these bets were made by brokers with thi3 connection had a depressing effect on stocks, on the theory that the upsetting of the Repub- lican machine, which such a nomina tion would imply, would injure the chances of the ticket winning in the election. SENATOR PLATT GOES HOME. Says He Is Sick and Don't Care Who Is Made Vice President. Philadelphia, June 20.-2:48 p. m. Senator Piatt left for New York City early this afternoon. He made a re mark before leaving that he did not PLATT IS SICK. care who was nominated for vice presi dent.

The total value of the seventeen events secured by five Ameri can jockeys at Ascot is .23,944, while the English jockeys won only 12,085. Alto- getner tne eight Americans wno roae naa sixty-nine mounts in twenty-six races. getting places forty times. Sloan, out of thirteen mounts, has six nrsts, lour sec onds and live thirds; L. Reiff, out of four teen mounts, had four firsts and two thirds. Reviewing tile racing of the week in the Sporting Times, John Cor- lett says: Again the great feature was the extra ordinary success of the American jockeys, which amounts to the revelation that our own jockeys have, with few exceptions, be come utterly aeteri: ttea. v e were al ready aware of this, but did not think the case was as bad as it proves to be. There is no fad of fashion in the employ ment of Americans. On the other hand, thev had to tight prejudice and overcome ridicule. The position they have won has been gained by sheer merit. On Cup day especially their successes were most re markable. They ride with their heads as well as with their hanas. If a horse has It in him they bring it out. "Mr. Drake, the owner of Royal Flush, although he did not name his hoe, is one of the greatest poker players in the world. When tne ceieorateu game was played on the tram from Chicago by the wheat cornerers. j'raKe ami ljener were nmonir the. ulavers. and it is said that hundreds of thousands changed hands." THE BOSS DENOUNCER. Prohibition Delegate Who Was After Republicans and Populists. S. B. Kokanour of Clay Center was the thorn in the flesh of the Prohibition convention. He was suppressed by the committee on resolutions, but he re fused to subside and insisted upon the adoption of a series of resolutions pre pared by himself. These resolutions denounced the Re publican and Populist legislatures for amending the state ballot law "in such shape as to make it almost impossible for new and minority parties to exer cise the right of suffrage." as "an out rage upon popular government and a stigma on the parties perpetrating it." Kokanour also denounced the national congress and supreme' court for licens ing the liquor traffic. These declarations fourtnr denounced the legislature for amending the pro hibitory law in such a manner as to re move a portion of the law governing penalties. The author of the resolutions enlisted the sympathy of J. L. Eldridge of To peka, the latter presenting the resolu tion denouncing the practice of electing political shysters U the legislature. He wanted the platform amended. This precipitated a debate. Mr. Garton of Norton wanted all resolutions kept out Rev. Dr. Richardson opposed the load ing of the platform with unnecessary things. W. M. Howie of Garnett favored the adoption of the resolution, but the plat form was finally adopted as submitted. M'KINLEY AND CANTEEN. Both are Denounced by the Prohi bition Convention. The Prohibition state convention this afternoon adopted a resolution denounc ing President McKinley for not sup pressing the army canteen. HILL FOR MCE PRESIDENT Part of Kentucky Delegation in Favor of the New Yorker. Frankfort, Ky., June 20. Judge W. S. Pryor, one of the Kentucky delegates at large to the Kansas City convention, today announced that he was for for mer Senator David Bennett Hill, of New York, for vice president. The Kentucky delegation is divided between Hill and former Congressman Shively, of Indiana, but most of them favor a man from Indiana or New York for second place with Bryan. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. D. W. Flock died at 4 o'clock yester day afternoon at Christ hospital.

In an interview in today's Leavenwortn Times he said: "It is true that Mont Williams and several others came to me some time ago and asked me to shut off the lights and water supply to the Elenora hotel. charging that the place was being run as a joint. "I told them I did not know any thing about its being run as a joint but that if that was so and they would show that it was, I would shut off the lights and water. "They then said they would bring a man who would swear that liquor was being sold at the place. They finally found a man whom they said would swear he had bought liquor there. They did not bring him to me for it after wards developed that he would not swear that he had bought liquor in the hotel and denied that ha had ever said so. "I told the parties who asked me to shut off the water and light supply that at any time when they would bring a citizen who would swear liquor was being sold in the hotel I would shut off the light and water. "They wanted me to go ahead but I refused to do that. I told them the county attorney was the proper person to close the place and that he was elected for this purpose. "I do not know anything about liquor having been sold at the hotel. "We have been furnishing light and water to the place. The state was do ing it when I came to the prison." WHEAT'S FLIGHT. Reaches Highest Point Since the Leiter Deal. Chicago, June 20. Wheat had an other sensational start In prices today. July sold to 81 cents, an advance of 3 cents over yesterday's close and closed at the top. There was an enor mous trade. Many who had bought at a lower price took out profits. The ex tremely grave situation in thenorthwest was the influence in the advance. Re ports from that section todav were that the crop had been practically ruined by the lack of rain. Under an immense pressure from buyers the market forged resistlessly ahead to Sl- cents, closing at the top, 3 cents over yesterday. Profit taking was on a heavy scale but failed to check the advance. The close today is the high est price since the Leiter deal. The torn market responded to the wheat strength and closed 1 cents up at 41 cents. HANNA GIVES UP. May Drive the Roosevelt Band "Wagon Himself. Philadelphia, June 20.

Kansas Pastor in Montreal Refused to Pray for Britons. Montreal, Quebec, June 20. A sensa tion has been caused in Montreal church circles by the resignation of Rev. Allan Murrmajin as pastor of the Zion Con gregational church, one of the leading churches in Montreal. Mr. Murrmann is an American citizen from Kansas and the principal cause of his resignation is that he refuses to make a practice of praying for Queen Victoria and absolutely refused to pray for the success of British arms in South Africa. Some time ago Mr. Murrmann was waited upon by the trustees and told that he was driving away the congre gation because he did not pray for the queen. The pastor replied that while he was willing to pray for the queen occasion ally he would not make it, a practice to pray for any sovereign. He explained that when the United States was at war he had not made it a practice to pray for the president. As to praying for the success of British arms, Mr. Murr mann said he would never do so, and as the trustees were obstinate he re signed. He was ordained to the ministry in Kansas and was pastor of the Congre gational church at Grand Junction, Col., for some time. About fifteen months ago he became pastor of the Zion Con gregational church in this city. MRS. DR. S T EWA RTN A 31 E D. She Is Elected Secretary of the City Federation.

Inquiries have been received by the police from parties in Abilene who seem anxious to know something of the man who goes by the name of "Bishop" J. Van Rosen of the Dunkard church of Royal Russia It appears that the "bishon" has tried to "work" the Dunk- ards in several localities, but seems to have done little better than get ahead of a board bill. He was among the Dunkards in Osawkie, Enid, Okla., and in several other Dunkard settlements, but they did not take kindly to his dif ferent schemes. The last inquiry comes from a man in Abilene who says he is financially interested in learning where the bishop is located and what his past record is. The letter says that the bishop went to Abilene and succeeded in getting a real estate man to get for him options on land where he intended locating a Dunkard colonv. After staying there some time he left. He was in Topeka for several months, and left without paying his board bill. WITH DYNAMITE. A Car Blown From St. Louis Street Car Line and Motorman Injured.

The first bene ficial result of the agreement recently entered into between the National Kminiirymcn's association and the Na tional Iron Moulders Union has been at tained. The iron mouiders employed at Randolph fc Co.'s iron works; in Green point, Brooklyn, went on strike yester day for an advance of from $2.75 to $3 a day in wages, r.y the terms of the agreement referred to union iron mould ers cannot ro on strike until the matter in dispute is first referred to a board of arbitration. The delegate of the New York local organization of the national union, ordered the men to return to work and they promptly did so. The Ftrike lasted only an hour. The presi dents of the National Foundrymen's association and the National Iron Moul ders union will appoint a committee to arbitrate the trouble between the men and the company. At a recent convention of the two or ders it was resolved that colored iron moulders should receive the same wages as the white men in the trade. BOERS ROUTED. "While Opposing the Advance of Gen. Methuen. London, June 20. Lord Roberts this afternoon reported that General Hunter had occupied Krugersdorp (west of Jo hannesburg) without opposition and that General Methuen, June 19, routed n T'.ocr force which was opposing his entry into Helibron in the Orange River coloney.

NO CHANGES TO BE MADE Government Says Rural Delivery .Routes must Stand. The frequent request for changes in the rural free delivery routes has led to the issuing of the following circular letter by ferry S. Heath, first assist ant postmaster general: "Sir I acknowledge receipt of your letter asking for a change in the direc tion or the rural free delivery route trom your office. On the first of June. JW'O, there were nearly twelve hundred rural free delivery routes in operation aim mere were petitions pending from over 2,000 districts radiating over every Biato in the union earnestly urging the establishment of new service. Under these circumstances the department units itself unable to detail special agents' to investigate proposed changes of routes already started, and has been compelled to establish a rule that the routes as laid down by special agents of the- department must be maintained without change for the present unless some very exceptional reason is shown lor a rearrangement of the service."

Cabot Lodge to the chair. Governor Shaw of Ohio and Governor Theodore Roosevelt of New York. A cheer went up strong and long con tinued as these men were named. Ap parently Governor Roosevelt had not c xpected to be thus designated, and bis face showed signs of annoyance. With Governor Shaw he stepped to Mr. Lodge's seat, and with the permanent chairman between them, they marched up to the platform. The cheers echoed continuously .until Mr. Lodge, after greeting Mr. vVolcott, turned to the au dience and began his address. Mr. Lodge's voice showed splended carrying power. His reference to Hawaii and the presence of representa tives of that new acquisition, brought the delegates to their feet in a lusty greeting to the Hawaiians and. when he referred to the "infamy" in Ken tucky, the delegates yelled their ap proval. Mr. Lodge's references to the policy of the government towards Cuba and the Philippines brought out fre quent manifestations of approval and his brilliant tribute to the American soldiers lighting in the tropics was the signal for. a hearty demonstration. HISTORIC GAVELS. Senator Lodge concluded at 1:37. Then Colonel Childs of Rhode Island, in a neat speech presented a historic gavel, the mahogany from the capital at Providence, the bronze from the yacht Columbia, which defeated the Sham rock at the international yacht races last fall. A young delegate from Ken tucky, John W. Langley, mounted the platform and in an eloquent little speech presented another gavel carved from a tree in the valley of the big Sandy beneath which General Garfield is said to have knelt in prayer at the Battle of Middle Creek. He concluded with the statement that he presented the gavel as a pledge of the continued devotion of Kentucky to the principles of Republicanism and a host that the state would this fall give its electoral vote to McKinley and Roosevelt. Lee Bain of Minnesota presented a gavel which had been used at the Re publican conventions at Minneapolis and St. Louis. Senator Lodge received the presentations with a graceful speech. General Bingham of Pennsylvania, was now recognized to present the un animous report of the committee on rules. He said that in the main the rules cf four and eight years ago had been adopted, leaving it for the conven tion to make any marked departure from the former procedure. These are as follows: RULES AND ORDER OF BUSINESS. Rule 1.

Such com mittee shall issue a call for the meeting of the national convention within sixty days at least before the time fixed for said meeting, and each congressional dis trict in the United States shall elect its delegates to the national convention in the same way as the nomination for a member of congress is made in said dis trict, and in territories the delegates to the convention shall be elected in the same way as a nomination of a delegate to congress is made: and saiu national committee shall prescribe Uie made of electing the delegates for the District of Columbia.

(7) Presentation of names of candidates for vice president, (8) Balloting. (9 Call of roll of states, territories, Alaska and the District of Columbia for names of delegates to serve respectively on committees to iitity the nominees for president and vice president of their selec tion for said office. Senator Quay was recognized as the reading of the report was concluded and was greeted enthusiastically as he stepped into the middle aisle to offer an amendment to the rules. This em bodied the proposition to reduce the representation from the several states giving one delegate for each ten thou sand votes cast with four delegates at large for each state. There were calls for Mr. Quay to take the platform, but he shook his head and sent to the clerk's desk a lengthy statement showing the effect of the proposed new rule. POKER JACK PROTESTS. The famous "Poker Jack" McClure protested against the proposed amend ment, but was ruled out of order. Senator Quay himself finally inter rupted the reading, which was long, but he could not be heard, and Senator Foraker suggested that he take the platform. The demand was immedi ately taken ua by the vast audience and followed by a roar of cheers. Senator Quay moved up to the stage. For several minutes he could not pro ceed owing: to the demonstration. When order had been restored, Mr. Quay suggested that as tne statement was long, and would be printed in the afternoon papers, action upon his prop osition, which only affected rules 1 and 12, be postponed until tomorrow, and that tlie remainder of the report be adopted. He backed his suggestion with a motion. The motion raised a storm of crotests from the southern delegates. Delegates from all the southern states were on their feet demanding recognition. Delegate McCall, of Ten nessee, mounted a chair and amid the plaudits of his associates demanded the right to be heard before any action was taken upon the Quay amendment. John Lynch, a colored delegate from Mississippi, stood on his chair and se cured recognition for a substitute to the Quay amendment. This recited that in any state where the right to vote was abridged because of race, color or previous condition of servitude the representation in congress should be reduced In proportion to the extent of the disfranchisement. A point of order was promptly made that the substitute was not germane ana Chair man Lodge sustained the point. At this point the convention threaten ed to get .in to parliamentary tangle over the adoption of the rules and pro posed amendments. Mr. Quay's motion finally prevailed that rules one and twelve, with his amendment go over un til tomorrow.after which the other rules were agreed to w ithout dissent. FAIRBANKS HEARD. With this out of the way Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, chairman of the committee on resolutions was recogniz ed. The, Indiana senator received a flattering reception as he mounted the platform but when he began to read the declaration of principles scores of delegates and alternates got up and be gun filing out of the hall. The confu sion became so great that Senator Fair banks was unable to proceed and Sena tor Lodge was compelled to come for ward and appeal for order. "This is a matter of vital .import ance," said he, "it is the enunciation of the principles upon which the Republi can party is to stand. This appeal had some effect. Many of the delegates returned to their seats but the thousands who could not hear Sena tor Fairbanks grew restless and many left the hall for a breath of air. While the hum of conversation con tinued interest in the document mani festly increased as the reading pro ceeded. Senator Fairbanks made a strenuous effort to make himself heard. Chauncey M. Depew, desiring a bite to eat. went in search of it. As he worked his way through .the throngs which surrounded the delegates on all sides he was recognized and greeted by a storm of cheers. So distinct was the interruption that Chairman Lodge was forced to appeal to the spectators in order that the business of the con vention be transacted. Senator Fair banks concluded the reading of the platform at 2:50. He moved that the platform be adopted, and on that mo tion demanded the previous Question. The demand was seconded by Senator Hancbrough of North Dakota and Sen ator Hewell of New Jersey. The de mand was agreed to, and the motion then 'tas declared by Chairman Lodge to be unanimously adopted. The an nouncement of the adoption of the plat form was received with enthusiastic cheers. Chairman Lodge then called for an nouncements from the various dele gations of national committeemen and vice presidents. Senator Foraker, of Ohio, was in the center of the main aisle with his hand raised for recog nition. "I was about to move to adjourn, Mr. Chairman," said he, "but I withhold the motion until the roll of states can be called." The call was begun then each of the well known and prominent men as their names were announced being greeted with applause. CHEERS FOR QUAY. When Former Senator Quay was an nounced as the choice of the Pennsylva nia delegation for member of the na tional committee half of the delegates and hundreds of the spectators were on their feet in an instant cheering at if mad. For the first time in the history of American politics on the rolls of a na tional convention the newly acquired territory of Hawaii was called by As sistant Secretary Malloy, Col. Samuel Parker rose and made his announce ment in mil resonant voice. He was received with tremendous ap plause. After the applause had subsided Sen ator Foraker was recognized to -make his motion to adjourn until 10 o'clock tomorrow- morning. The motion pre vailed without dissent and at 3:13 p. ra the convention adjourned. MUCH UNEASINESS FELT. Feeling of Nervousness Apparent Among the Delegates. Philadelphia, June 20. The second day of the convention opens with the prospect that the renomination of the president with the bursts of fervid ora tory it will evoke will be the chief event of the gathering. But there is the ever present apprehension on the part of many leaders that this second day may be like the climax of a great drama, and may have in store some coup d'etat, some crisis or stampede, which is not down on the set programme The most careful precautions have been taken to guard against any .such contingency, and to prevent the con vention from being swept from its feet by a chance tidal wave of popular fa vor; yet the vague feeling exists that it will not be well to count upon the day's developments until all is over. A cool and bracing northeasterly breeze, moderate temperature and a cloudless skv. afford Ideal conditions for the work and excitement of the day. Again the crowds were astir early, the streets were filled with the hosts of vis itors, marching clubs and shouting venders of badges. It was noticeable, however, that the men with the white plug hats and red. white and blue um brellas were thinning out and that a part of the more demonstrative tide of travel was setting away from the con vention city. After the experience of yesterday the officials at the convention hall felt con fident of handling the crowds without a hitch, and the early drills were dis pensed with. The litter of yesterday was cleared away by an army of at tendants. Troops of scrub women gave even-thing a characteristic Philadel phia cleansing, and the interior of the vast structure was immaculate as when first invaded. Outside the hall the grounds were kent free except to the officials and attendants, and the crowds again congested at the outer entrances, five street car lines emptying hundreds, and later thousands, into the ap proaches. Perfect order prevailed, and all the arrangements tended to the ease and comfort of the visitors. The working members of the conven tion, delegates and alternates, remained aown town during the early hours. Some of the states held morning cau cuses, again seeking to determine the sentiment on the chief subject of vex ation, the vice presidency. Senator Hanna appeared at breakfast smiling, and apparently confident, without a trace of worry or fatigue from the nerve-racking ordeal of the last few days. The other leaders turned from the secret conferences which have been so constant up to now and ealm'v awaited the solution of pending ques tions on conditions now established. Their varying comments indicated that while a crisis was not expected today it was felt to be at least a strong pos sibility. The programme of today is compara tively simple. The various committees practically have completed their work, and the morning sessions make every thing in readiness for the committee reports, although a contest on creden tials is expected. With this routine out of the way, nominations for the presi dency will be in order, and then will come a carnival of eloquence such as has not been heard in recent days. Sen ator Foraker, fiery, eloquent, strong voiced and popular, will make the nom inating speech, with second speeches from Senator Thurston of Nebraska, with his calliope voice, and then un less plans are changed from motives of expediency from the man towards whom all eyes are turned, Governor Roosevelt, of New York. It will be his first word to the convention, his formal debut to the convention hosts, and there are boundless rvossibilities of such an appearance. It may be, however, that the governor may desire in the exigency of present conditions to avoid the slightest pretense of fan ning the spark into a flame, and may turn over New York's seconding of the president's nomination to that polished and graceful orator, Chauncey M. Depew. The crowds want to hear Roosevelt, however, and they may demand him. With the speeches concluded, the nomination will be made by acclama tion, with an outburst of enthusiasm and devotion to the president. Then will come the presentation of the plat form, which is now complete, save in some minor particulars. Its ringing sentences, read by the chairman of the platform committee. Senator Fair banks, of Indiana, will afford another opportunity for expression of party realty. THE PLATFORM. Declaration of Prinoiples Put Forth, at Philadelphia. The committee completed its preparation of the platform at 12:35. Senator Fair banks, chairman of the committee. Im mediately left the hotel, where it had been put in shape for the convention. Following is the full text of the docu ment: The Republicans of the United States, through their chosen representatives, met in national convention, looking back upon an unsurpassed record of achievements, and looking forward into a great field of duty and opportunity, and appealing to the judgment of their countrymen, make these declarations: The expectation in which the Ameri can people, turning from the Democratic party, entrusted power four years ago to a Republican chief magistrate and a Re publican congress hns been met and sat isfied. When the people then assembled at the polls, after a term of Democratic legislation and administration business was dead, industry paralyzed and the national credit disastrously impaired. The country's capital wits hidden away and its labor distressed and unemployed. The Democrats had no other plan with which to improve the ruinous conditions Which they had themselves produced than to coin silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. The Re publican party, denouncing this plan as sure to produce conditions even worse than those from which relief was sought, promised. to restore prosperity by means of two legislative measures a protective tariff and a law making gold the stand ard of value. The people, by great major ities. Issued to the nepuDtican party, a commission to enact these laws. This commission has been executed and the Re publican party is redeemed. Prosperity more general and more abundant than we have ever known has followed these enactments. There is no longer contro- as to the value ot any government obligations. Every American dollar is a gold dollar or its assured equivalent and American credit stands higher than that of any nation. Capital is fully employed and everywhere labor is profitably occu pied. No single fact can more strikingly tell the story of what Republican gov ernment means to the country than this while during the whole period of 107 years from 1790 to 1897, there was an excess of exports over imports of only $383,028,497, Hon. John D. Long of Massachusetts, Secretary of the Navy. A favorite for the vice presidency for whom California and New Jersey have declared and who has New England practically solid. there have been in the short years of the present Republican administration an ex cess of exports over imports. in the enor mous sum of $1,483,738,094. and while the American people sustained by this Repub lican legislation have been achieving these splendid triumphs in their business and commerce, they have conducted and in victory concluded a war for liberty and human rights. No thought of national ag grandizement tarnished the high purpose with which American standards were un furled. It was a war unsought and pa tiently resisted, but when it came, the American government was ready. Its fleets were cleared for action. Its arm ies were in the field and the quick signal triumph of its forces on land and sea bore equal tribute to the courage of American soldiers and sailors and to the skill and foresight of Republican statesmanship. To ten millions of the human race there was given a new birth of freedom," and to the American people a new and noble re sponsibility. We endorse the administration of Will iam McKinley, its acts have been estab lished in wisdom and in patriotism and at home and abroad it has distinctly ele vated and extended the influence of the American nation. W'alking untried paths and facing unforeseen responsibility. President McKinley has been in every situation the true American patriot and upright statesman, clear in vision, strong in judgment, firm in action, always in spiring and deserving the confidence of nis countrymen. In asking the American people to en dorse this Republican record and to re new their commission to the Republican party we remind them of the fact that the menace to their prosperity has always re sided in Democratic principles and no less in the general incapacity of the Demo cratic party to conduct public affairs. The prime essential of business prosperity, is public confidence in the good sense of the government and its ability to deal intel ligently with each new problem of admin istration and legislation. That confidence the Democratic party has never earned. It is hopelessly inadequate and the coun try s prosperity witn Democratic success a.t the polls, halts and ceases in mere anticipation of Democratic blunders and failures. We renew our allegiance to the princi ple of the gold standard and declare our confidence in the wisdom of the legisla tion of the Fifty-sixth congress by which the parity of all our money and the sta bility of our currency on a gold basis has been secured. We recognize that the rates are a potent factor in production and business activity and for the purpose of further equalizing and cf further low ering the rates of interest we favor such monetary legislation as will enable the varying need3 of the season and of all sections to be properly met in order that trade may be evenly sustained, labor steadily employed and commerce enlarg ed. The. volume of money in circulation was never so great per capita as it is today. We declare our steadfast opposi tion to the free and unlimited coinage or silver. No measure to that end could be considered which was without the sup port of the leading -commercial countries of the world. However firmly Republi can legislation may seem to have se cured the country against the peril of base and discredited currency, the elec tion of a Democratic president could not fail to impair the country's credit and to bring once more into question the inten tion of the American people to maintain upon the gold standard the parity of their money circulation. The Democratic par ty must be convinced that the Ameri can people will never tolerate the Chi cago platform. We recognize the neces sity and propriety of the honest co-operation of -capital "to meet new business conditions and especially to extend our rapidly increasing foreign trade, but we condemn all conspiracies and combina tions intended to restrict business to cre ate monopolies, to limit production or to control prices and favor such legislation as will effectually restrain and prevent all such abuses, protect and promote com petition and secure the rights of produc ers, laborers and all who are engaged in industry and commerce. We renew our faith in the policy of protection of American labor. In that pol icy our industries have been established, diversified and maintained. By protect ing the home market, the competition has been stimulated and production cheap ened. Opportunity to the inventive gen ius of our people has been secured and wages in every department of labor main tained at high rates, higher now than ever before, always distinguishing our working people in their better condition of life from those of any competing coun try, enjoying the blessing of American common schools, secure in the right of self-government and protected in the oc cupancy of their own markets, their con stantly increasing knowledge and still have enabled them finally to enter the markets of the world. We favor the as sociated policy of reciprocity so directed as to open our markets on favorable terms for what we do not ourselves produce in return for free foreign markets.' In the further interest of American workmen we favor a more effective re striction of the immigration of cheap la bor from foreign lands, the extension of opportunities of education for working children, the raising cf the age limit for child labor, the protection of free labor as against contract convict labor and an .effective system of labor insurance. Our present dependence upon foreign shipping for nine-tenths of our foreign carrying is a great loss to the industry of this country. It is also a serious dan ger to our trade for its sudden withdrawal in the event of European war would ser iously cripple our expanding foreign com merce. The national defense and naval efficiency of this country, moreover sup ply a compelling reason for legislation, which will enable us to recover our for mer place among the trade carrying fleets of the world. The nation owes a debt of profound gratitude to the soldiers and sailors who have fought its battles and it is the gov ernment's duty to provide for the survi vors, and for the widows and orphans of those who have fallen in the country's wars. The pension laws founded in this just sentiment should be liberal and should be liberally administered and pref erence should be given wherever prac ticable with respect to employment in the public service to soldiers and sailors and to their widows and orphans. We commend the policy of the Republi can party in maintaining the efficiency of the civil service. The administration has acted wisely in its efforts to secure for public service in Cuba. Porto Rico Hawaii and the Philippine islands only iose whose fitness has been determined by training and experience. We believe that employment" in the public service in these lerritories should be confined as far as practicable to their inhabitants. It was the plain purpose of the Fif yV;j teenth amendment to the constitution to prevent discrimination on account of race or coior in regulating tne elective fran chise. Devices Of tttatf MVPrtrnionlo whether by statutory or constitutional en- ac-Lmenc, to avoid tne purpose of this amendment are revolutionary and should be condemned. Public movements looking to a perma nent improvement of the roads and high ways of the country meet with our cordial approval and we recommend this subject to the earnest consideration of the peo ple and the legislatures of the several states. We favor the extension of the rural free delivery service wherever its extension may be justified. In further pursuance of th constant policv of the Republican party to provide free homes on the public domain, we rec ommend adequate national legislation to reclaim arid lands of the United States, reserving control of the distribution of water for irrigation to the respective states and territories We favor home rule for, and the early admission to statehood for the territories of New Mexico, Arrizona and Oklahoma, The Dingley act amended to provide sufficient revenue for the conduct of the war has so well performed its work that it has been possible to reduce the war debt in the sum of $40,000,000. So ample are the government's revenues, and so great is the public confidence in the integ rity of its obligations that its newly fund ed two percent bonds, sell, at-a premium. The country is now justified in expecting and it will be the policy of the Republi can party to bring about a reduction of the war taxes. We favor the construc tion, ownership, control and protection of an isthmian canal by the' government of the United States. New markets are nec essary for the increasing surplus of our farm products. Every efjort should be made to open and obtain new markets, especially in the orient and the adminis tration is warmly to be commended for its successful effort to commit all trading and colonizing nations to the policy of the ipra c ior in nina. in tne interest ot our expanding commerce, we recommend that congress create a department of commerce and industries in the charge of a secre-tary with a seat in the cabinet. The United States consular system should be recognized under the supervision of this new department on such a basis of appointment and tenure as w-ill render it still mere serviceable to the nation's in creasing trade. The ,"nitr;can government must pro tect the ncrson and property of every citizen wherever they are wrongfully treated or placed in prison. We congratulate the wo jen of America on their splendid record oi public service In the volunteer aid association and as nurses in camp and hospital during the re cent campaigns of our armies in the Eastern and Western Indies and we ap preciate their faithful co-operation tn all works of education and industry. President McKlnlev has conducted the foreign affairs of the United States with distinguished credit to the American peo ple, in releasing us from tne vexatious conditions of a European alliance for the government of Samoa, his course is es pecially to be commended. By securing to our undivided control tne most im portant island of the Samoan group and the best harbor in the Southern Pacific, every American interest has been safe guarded. We approve the annexation of the Ha-w-aiian islands to the United States. We commend the part taken by our gov ernment in the peace conference at The Hague. We assert our steadfast adher ence to the policy announced in the Mon roe doctrine. The provisions of The Hague convention were wisely regarded when President McKinley tendered his friendly offices in the interest of peace between Great Britain and the South African re public. W hile the American government must continue the policy prescribed by Washington, affirmed by trv-ery succeeding president and imposed upon us v The Eagua treaty, of non-intervention in Euro pean controversies, the American pe.-p'.e earnestly hope that a way may soon be found, honorable alike to both contending parties to terminate the strife between the:i. In accepting, by the treaty of Paris, the just responsibility of our victories in the Spanish war, the president and the sen ata won the undoubted approval of the American people. No other course was possible to destroy Spain's sovereignty throughout the West Indies and ii the Philippine islands. That course created our resionsibilty before the world and wilh the unorganLtd population wii. m mr intervention had freed from Spain, to pi t vide for the maintenance of law and crder and for the establishment o good gcveimoent and for the performance of Intel nal onal obligations.

JAPANESE FORCES SAIL Washington, June 20. The American minister at Tokio telegraphs that two transports with 1,300 men and 100 horses sailed today from Japan for Taku; that 600 Japanese troops have al ready landed and that five Japanese war vessels are now at Taku. He adds that the Japanese government is pre pared to send additional forces should the necessity arise. WASHINGTON IS WORRIED. "Washington, June "0. Secretaries Hay and Root, Assistant Secretaries Meikle john and Hackett and Admiral Crown inshield had a long conference with the president today. On leaving the White House they stated that nothing has been heard from Pekin and that the conference was on the subject of how- communication with Minister Conger could be secured at the earliest possible moment. They declined however, to say what conclusion had been reached or to discuss the matter further. There is no doubt that the officials here regard the Chinese situation as very critical and that more vigorous measures than any hitherto contemplated are under consid eration. BRITISH MISSION LOOTED. Washington, June 20. Consul Fow ler, at Che Foo, cables that he has transmitted by the Phoenix (probably a chartered vessel) all com munications that have accumulated there for Minister Conger and Admiral Kempff. there being no communica tion northward except naval. He has also chaitered a small steamer leaving Che Foo today at noon for Yank Chi kan for the rescue of American and British missionaries. The French con sul from the northwest region of Shan Tung reports that the Hogan British mission at Tsang Chew has been looted. It is not reported that any of the mis sior.aries wore killed, but the;' were carried off by the Chinese general and their whereabouts is at ruesent un known. The governor has left Che nang, the capital of Techow, a point near the coast. Chir-se ships have left for the south. Troops are leaving-. Nothing- has been heard at Che Foo about the Pekin force for six days. MISSIONARIES CARRIED OFF. Washington, June 20. A cablegram was received at the state department this-, morning from United States Con sul Fowler at Cnee Foo. The consul says that no communication has been had with Pekin for six days "east; ti.at the mission at San Chow has been looted, but that the Chinese general carried the missionaries off in safety to an unknown place. The Chinese warships in the harbor have left for the south. The Rusrsiacs continue to land troops at Taku. BILL HIGGIXS QUITS. Gives His Daily Galena. Paper at Ex-Secretary of State Wm. Higgins has abandoned the publication of his paper, the Galena Daiiy Lever.

There was a sub stantial rally in the stock market yester day, although in some instances part of the gains were lost in the late dealings. There has apparently been a readjustment of values and sentiment, which has taken away fear of any reactionable dislocation of values. First and foremost in the com mon cj ininn appears to be set out the probabilities of political action at Phila delhpia. The business interests of the country may hardly be expected to work for an candidate and platform that do not represent principles which insure stability and prosperity. The most important de velopment of the week has been the call made by Berlin upon the money markets of Europe and America. Topeka Markets Today. Topeka, June 20. CATTLE. COWS $2. 50 3.75.

I was in bed when I learned of Doan'a Kidney Pills, and I sent to Rowley Snow's drug store, corner Sixth St. and Kansas Ave. and got a box.

"We therefore request Governor Stanley to immediately remove said prison officials. "That we are most emphatically in favor of a rigid civil service law for our state penal and charitable Institutions that the management of our unfor tunate and criminal classes by incom petents and political strikers may cease."

The platform follows: "First That the liquor traffic is the greatest of all evils, and we demand the total prohibition of the manufacture or sale, importation and exportation of alcoholic liquors by the state and the nation. "Second We affirm our loyalty to the national Prohibition party and its principles as the only party that stands committed to the overthrow of the liquor traffic in state and nation. "The right of citizens of the United States to vote should not be denied on account of sex." The convention was called to order by Mont Williams, chairman of the state central committee. Rev. A. M.

W Stewart, national chairman of the Prohibition party, made a speech in Representative hall last night to a small crowd of the faithful. Mr. Stewart looks like Bryan but does not resemble him in any other way. He made the usual prohibition talk, accusing the old parties of being con trolled by the w hisky element and hold ing that the prohibition principle was of more importance to the country than the financial question, the trust ques- tion, expansion, tariff or any other issue. He spoke of the Republican party as the party in favor of the army can teen and liquor extension in the Philip- r OLIVER W. STEWART, Chairman of National Prohibition Central Committee. pines. The Democratic party, he said, was afraid to mention the liquor traffic and he spoke of Bryan's well known license views as the policy of that party. He did not claim that this party had a chance to carry anything in the com ing election but repeated: "Right will win in time; we wiil be successful." He told his stories in s. pleasing way. and ft 7S- got them in at the right time. He is a young man. full of energy and push and can see a. light far ahead that a person less optimistic would have trou ble discovering with the aid of a strong telescope. SOUTH T0PEK3..

A committee of three to make decision and the prizes Bent on July 3, 1H0O. Write plain, sensible letters, giving detailed facts of ill health caused from Improper food and explain the improve ment, the gain in strength, in weight, or in brain power after using Grape Nuts food. It is a profound fact that most ails of humanity come from improper and non-nourishing food, such as white bread, hot biscuit, starchy and un cooked cereals, etc. A change to perfectly cooked, pre digested food like Grape-Nuts, scien tifically made and containing exactly the elements nature requires for build ing the delicate and wonderful cells of brain and body, will quickly change a half sick person to a well person. Food, good food, is nature's strongest weapon of def'Tse. Include in letter the true names and addresses, carefully written, of 20 per rons, not very well, to whom we can write regarding the food cure by Grape Nuts. Almost everyone interested In pure food is willing to have his or her name appear in the papers for such help as they may offer the human race. A re quest, however, to omit name will be respec ted.

THE SWIFT NO FUSION IN SIGHT. W. L. Brown Says Hope of Seventh District Compromise Has Disappeared. "The Seventh congressional district muddle is in perhaps worse condition to day than at any time since the Great Bend convention," said W. L. Brown today. "The notice served by Mr. Duval and his committee that he was in the race to stay has destroyed all hope of a compromise and brings a three-cornered fight between Mr. Long, Mr. Duval and Mr. Campbell. "This is liable to give trouble in state, national and county politics in Kansas. The real inside facts of the Great Bend convention have never been given. Pop ulists have kept entirely passive, hop ing that the matter could be adjusted, while on the other hand the chairman of the Democratic committee through the Kansas City papers has placed their side of the controversy before the people. On this ex parte statement many men had formed opinions. But, when Mr. Camp bell in the interests of harmony and the defeat of the common enemy offered to withdraw his name provided Mr. Duval would do the same and place the re sponsibility on the people everybody agreed that it was manifestly a fair proposition. Mr. Duval's refusal to make a similar sacrifice has turned many of his warmest supporters against him and the consequence is Mr. Campbell is by far the strongest of the two among the fusion voters, especially among Democrats who have the best interests of Mr. Bryan at heart. Just how far this muddle will extend in state and na tional politics is hard to predict. But, If Mr. Long is elected and Mr. McKinley carries Kansas there is no other place that the people who hoped for better re sults will place the blame except upon Mr. Duval and his friends who manipu lated this arrangement. "No man's ambition is supposed to be greater than his party, yet Mr. Duval's candidacy is liable to work untold in jury to the cause of fusion in Kansas. My paper this week hoists the name of Mr. Campbell, the Populist nominee and I shall do all in my power, honorably, to help elect him.
