Tribute to the American Flag.
Philadelphia, June 20.—As on yes
terday many of tho leading lights of the
Republican party came in without caus
ing a flurry. Senator Lodge, who was
made permanent chairman, came in
with the Massachusetts delegation, bat
thero was not a ripple.
The first demonstration occurred when
Senator Hanna entered and crossed the
length of the hall to the stage.
Senator Foraker aroused the next out-
burtt. Governor Voorhees of Now Jer
sey, who has jnst arrived from Europe,
was warmly greeted.
Senator Depew was not overlooked,
but it was again Governor Roosevelt
who set the convention wild. Still wear*'
ing his- Rough Rider hat, he appeared
at the main entrance and instantly the
crowd cheered frantically.
While tho Roosevelt demonstration
was in progress the eyes of the multi
tude was suddenly directed to a strange
spectacle in tho center of the store as
the Chinese minister, Wu Ting Fang,
accompanied by Chong, secretary of the
legation, came down the middle aisle of
the platform. Wu was first greeted at
the entrance by Senator Burrows, who
introduced him to several of the distin
guished public men. Ex-Postmaster
Gai eral G.iry, of Maryland, who while
in the first McKinley cabinet was a close
friend of Wu, offered tho minister his
arm, and the two proceeded onT toward
the delegates. General Gary seated the
minister and his entourage immediately
alongside tho dolagatos amid a 'number
of ladies.
Former Governor Taylor of Kentucky
received a distinct ovation just as Sena
tor Wolcott was preparing to call the
conventiou to order. At 12:20 Senator
Wolcott rapped for order. Immediately
the baud started np “The Star Spangled
Banner,” and tho vusraudieuce roseeu-
masse, Governor Roosevelt being the
first on his feet. Senator Wolcott again
rapped for order, as the swelling strains
flonted away.

Philadelphia, June 20.—The friends
of the president, under the leadership
of Senator Hanna, are contemplating
taking np Governor Roosevelt and thus
not only making his nomination proba
bly nnanimons, but taking to themselves
the credit for the nomination. "
Philadelphia, June 80.—The Repnb
licau national convention wUl reuomi-
William McKinley for provident
of ihe United States. The renotkina-
tion of the president will be made with
outbursts of fervid oratory, and will bo
tho chi^f evont of \tho gathering. Bnt
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 oon
d’ etat, some crisis or stampede, whicl
is not down on the set program.
Again the crowds were astir early, the
streets were fiUed with the hosts of vis
itors, marching clubs and shouting ven
ders of badges.
Outside the hall the grounds were
kept free, except to the officials and at
tendants and the crowds again con
gested at tho outer entrances, five street
car lines emptying hundreds and later
thousands into the approaches.
The working members of tho conven
tion, delegates and alternates, romained
down town daring the early hours.
Some of the states held morningcaucuses
again, to determitlb the sentiment on
the chief subject of vexation, tho
Vico presidential uoptiuation. Senator
Hanna appeared at breakfast smiling
and apparently confident, without a trace
oT worry or fatigno from tho nerve-
'king ordeal of the last few days. The
ler leaders tamed from the secret con
ftrences, whioh had been so constant p
tb now, and calmly awaited the solntiya
of pending questions on conditions now
established. Their varying comments

l One Man Killed and Six People Seri
ously Injured.
South Bend, Ind., June 20.—The
Morrison hotel on Vistula avenue was
burned at an early hour. The origin is
2 ii j supposed to have boon incendiary. One
" man was killed, six persons were seri
ously injurial and a number of others
received minor injuries.
The tiro started in the rear and was
followed ahnost immediately by an ex
plosion. , , ..
Instantly a panio ensued and the
guests run into the corridors only to find
escape by tho stairway cut off by a mass
of flames. Before tho department could
reach the scene the fire had penetrated
through tho wholo building.
Mrs. F. Smith was blown through a
window on the third floor by tho foroe
nf tho explosion, sustaining a broken leg
and serious burns nbcut tho face and
shoulders. Mr. Smith seized their Uttlo
child and leaning far oat of tho win
dow. dropped it into tho itrtus of a fire
man, who caught the infant in safety.

subsided Rev. Charles M. Boswell opened
the proceedings with prayer.
A remarkable tribute to the flag and
to the pioneers of tho Republican party
then occurred. Mr. Wolcott stepped
forward and stated that. 15 survivors of
the first Repnblioan convention, called
at Pittsburg, 44 years ago, were present
with the same old flag used in that con
vention. At that moment a file of white
haired patriarchs appeared from the
rear, bearing at their head a faded
American ting, tattered nuil barely held
together by iu cross staff. As tho flag
api>eured the audience rose, delegates,
spectators and guests, and a deafening
salute went up tor tho faded stand
ard aud its venerable upholders. The
15 white haired men ranged themselves
sido by side, 1,Hiking out on the sea of

Program For tlip Day.
The'program was comparatively sim
ple. The various committees had com
pleted their work, and tho morning ses
sion made everything ready for prompt
reports. With this rontino oat of the
way, nominations for tho presidency
will be in order. Then will come a car
nival of eloquence, snch as has not boon
heard in recent days. Senator Foraker,
fiery, eloquent,strong-voiced and popular
will make the nominating speech, with
Bccond speeches from Mr. Thurston of
Nebraska, aud then, unless plans are
changed from motives of expediency
from the man toward whom all eyes ore
turned, Governor Roosevelt of New
Tork. It will be his first word to tho
convention, his formal debat to the con
tention hosts and there are bonndless
possibilities of snch an appearance, ft
may be, however, that the governor
may desire, in tbe exigenoy of present
conditions, to avoid tho slightest pre
tense of fanning the sparks into aflame,
and may turn .over Now York’s second
ing of the president’s nomination to that
polished and graceful orator, Ohauncey
M. Depew. \
Dopew,
Tho crowds want to hear Roosevelt,
however, and they may hi or him.
With the speeches concluded, the
nomination will bo made by acclama
tion with an outburst of enthusiasm and
devotion\ to tho president. Then will
come the presentation of tho platform,
read by tho chairman of the platform
committee, Senator Fairbanks of In-
diana.
The vjoe presidential situation con
tinues to he the absorbing topic with the
leaders, the delegates and the anxions,
expectant crowd. While many of the
renditions have been defined with clear
ness there is far from a clear and final
understanding which all accept by com-
taon consent. Tbe action of the New
York caucus in unanimously ngrccin
to support Woodruff is not accept®
as permanently retiring Roosevelt fron
the field. Kansas and many other states
.are confident still tbnt he shall be named
without reference to hie own wishes ol‘
tho wishes of the New York delegation.
In some quarters if is intimated that
this Is bnt an adroit strobe on the part
of Mr. Platt to show that if is from with
out that the demand for Roosevelt comes.
The governor himself is congratulating.
Mr. Woodruff as though he were to be
the nominee.
Baking: Powder

Alum ?
Prof. Geo. F. Barker, M.D., University of
Penn.: “All the constituents of alum remain
(from alum baking powders) in the bredd, and
the alum itself is reproduced to all intents and
purposes' when the bread is dissolved by the
gastric juice in the process of digestion. I re
gard the use of alum as highly injurious.”
Dr. Alonzo Clark: “A / substance (alum)
which can derange the stomach should not be
tolerated in baking powder.”
Prof. W. G. Tucker, New York State
Chemist: “I believe it (alum) to be decidedly,
injurious when used as a constituent of food
articles.” ^
Prof. S. W. Johnson, Yale College: “I
regard their (alum and soluble alumina salts)
introduction into baking powders as most dah-
gerous to'health.”
In view of such testimony as this,
every care must bq exercised by
the housewife to exclude the over
and over condemned cheap, alum
baking/ powders from the food.

Before Governor Roosevelt hod ar
rived at his room the joy over Missouri's
action was overwhelmed by a crashing
blow at Roosevelt’s hopes of escape,
aimed by Henry U. Pnyno nnd the Wis
consin delegation. Wisconsin hod a
meeting and hardly was tho door closed
when Mr. Payne arose and in a vehe
ment speech declared that Roosevelt
wonld bu tho nominee of the convention.
"Then, raising his hand, he said in an
impressive and impassioned manlier:
“Before Wisconsin is reached tho
rollcall, willing or not wi'ling, Theodore
Roosevelt will have received 75 per cent
of the votes of the convention. I move
that Wisconsin join the popular column,
and vote, not for New York’s son, but

Judge ..anleft Tripp has authorized
the miuonucument of his withdrawal
from the vice presidential contest. Judge,
Tripp’s desire is that the delegates who
had formed a imelens of his support,
should, rest their votes for Governor
Roosevelt. Pursuant to this request
Mr. Ashton uniionncod that a large ma
jority of the delegates from tho states of
Washington, Oregon, Utah and North
