Philadelphia, June 20.—The friends of the president, under the leadership of Senator Hanna, are contemplating t ; ;i;;s r up Governor Roosevelt and thus j',,; i iv making his nomination proba bly unanimous, but taking to themselves the credit for the nomination. Ph;r. vDKLPiiiA, June 20.—The Repub- jj..;,a national convention will renomi nate william. McKinley for president of the United States. The renomina- ti<m of the president will be made with outbursts of fervid oratory, and will he the chief event of the gathering. But tin re is the ever present apprehension on the part of many leaders that this second dav may be like the climax of a great drama, and may have in store some coup <!' ( ‘tat, si rate crisis or stampede, which is not down on the set program. Auuiu rite crowds were astir early, the streets were filled 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- p - r-'.-t at the outer entrances, live street car lines emptying hundreds and later thousands into the approaches. The working members of the conven tion. delegates and alternates, remained down town during the early hours, home of the states held morning caucuses again, to determine the sentiment on the chief subject of vexation, the vice presidential nomination. Senator Hanna appeared at breakfast smiling and apparently confident, without a trace of w-rry or fatigue from the nerve- rui'king ordeal of the last few days. The other leaders turned from the secret con ference.-:, which had been so constant up to now, and calmly awaited the solution of pending questions oa conditions now established. Their varying comments indicated that while a crisis was not ex- p-cted today it is felt to be at least a strong possibility. Program For the Day. The program was comparatively sim ple. The various committees had com pleted their work, and the morning ses sion made everything ready for prompt reports. With this routine out of the wav, nominations for the presidency will be in order. Then will come a car nival of eloquence, such as has not been heard in recent days. Senator Foraker, fiery, eloquent,strong-voiced and popular wiii make the nominating speech, with second speeches from Mr. Thurston of Nebraska, and then, unless plans are changed from motives of expediency from the man toward whom all eyes are turned, Governor Roosevelt of New York-. It will be his first word to the convention, his formal debat to the con vention hosts and there* arc boundless possibilities of such an appearance. It may bo, however, that the governor may desire, in the exigency of present conditions, to avoid the slightest pre- ten- • of fanning the sparks into aliarne, ami may turn over New York’s second ing -f the president’s nomination to that polished and graceful orator, Chauncev M. Dcpew. The crowds want to hear Roosevelt, however, and they may hear him. Yvitli the speeches concluded, the nomination will he made by acclama tion with an outburst of enthusiasm and devotion to the president. Then will come the presentation of the platform, read by the chairman of the platform committee, Senator Fairbanks of In diana. The vice presidential situation con- timu-s to be the absorbing topic with the leaders, the delegates and the anxious, expectant crowd. While many of the conditions have been defined with clear ness there is far from a clear and final understanding which all accept by com mon const nt.

Lieutenant Governor ''HYdt-'ufi’.s headquarters were active. Inere was additional joy when, at the Roosevelt headquarters, it was learned tnat the Missouri delegation which had declared for Roosevelt had withdrawn their support, and would he for Dolliver. -v plan was being discussed during the morning of having Alabama give way to blew York on the roll called for nomi nations and have Governor Roosevelt anticipate friendly action toward him by putting Lieutenant Governor Wood ruff in nomination. \\ isconsin For Roosevelt. Before Governor Roosevelt had ar rived at Lis room the joy over Missouri’s action was overwhelmed by a crushing blow at Roosevelt’s hopes of escape, aimed by Henry G. Payne and the Wis consin delegation. Wisconsin had a meeting and hardly was the door closed when Mr. Payne arose and in a vehe ment speech d tela red that Roosevelt would be the nominee of the convention. “Then, raising his hand, he said in an impressive and impassioned manner: “Before Wisconsin is reached the rollcall, willing or not willing, 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 the nation’s son, Theodore Roosevelt.” Amidst a burst of applause the resolu tion was adopted by an unanimous vote. Mr. Payne said afterward: “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 Payne’s action was ex pected and that he was simply for Roose velt’s nomination because Hanna was against it. Senator Hanna is by no means assured jliat the Roosevelt candidacy is ended. He said significantly: “It all depends upon the man up itairs.” Hanna and Woodruff. During their conversation this morn ing Hanna asked Woodruff' what game New York was playing this year. “It’s on the square,” said Woodruff, “lam a candidate with New York be hind mo an' 1 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 prevalent belief that the convention will nominate Roosevelt in spite of all done to prevent the stampede. Judge Bartlett Tripp has authorized the announcement of his withdrawal from the vice presidential contest. Judge Tripp’s desire is that the delegates who had formed a nucleus of his support, should cast their votes for Governor Roosevelt. Pursuant to this request Mr. Ashton announced that a large ma jority of the delegates from the states of Washington, Oregon, Utah and North and South Dakota would support the Empire state governor. At a caucus of the Minnesota dele gates it was decided to present to the convention the name of former Senator William D. Washburn as Minn- -iota's choice for the vice presidency. At 11 o’clock Senator Hanna went into conference with Senators Lodge and Spooner. E’er the first time, Hanna, having heard of Wisconsin’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 sen timent is much greater than the combi nation of Quay and Platt for it. The west and south are likely to force it, and I don’t feel that their wishes should be combatted too fiercely.” TEXAS "DELEGATES FIGHT. Altercation Follows Decision of Com mittee on Credentials. Philadelphia, June 20.—The com mittee on credentials held an all night session and adjourned at G o’clock, hav ing completed all its business. A lively fist fight between two Texas delegates occurred at* 4^'0 o’clock, just after the committee had listened to ar guments from contesting delegates in that state. As the delegates were leav- the committee room W. H. Love, a delegate from McKinney, Tex., accused Walter Burns of having made state ment-s in the committee room which were not true. He denied such state ments and was called 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 bystand ers caught him- Immediately after this row, two negro delegates began to make violent threats and ° warlike demonstrations at each °i n the Tennessee delegation the Browillow people won a clean victory over the Evans faction, the committee confirming their claim to seats in the convention.

If war exists in China, growing 1 vention, with permission to publish, out of the destruction of tho United States and other legations, it will be necessary to send more troops to China.

The situation may change a: any mo ment,and the first advances from Peking will undoubtedly decide whether the immediate future will bring peace or war. There are two possible causes for war in the situation. One is the destruction of the American legation or the murder ing of the American minister. The other is the action of the commander at Takn, who ordered his men to fire on the international fleet. If his action is sanctioned by the Peking government, a state of war exists, but if he acted without authority and his hostile act is disavowed there may he a peaceful sclur tion of the incident.

Washington, Juno 19.—From care fully prepared information on file in the bureau of -military information of the war department, tlie Cliine.se army, called the “Eight Banners,” nominally contains about 300,000 descendants of the Manchu conquerors and their allies. The number maintained on a war foot ing is from 80,000 to 100,009. The whole force is subdivided into three groups, consisting respectively of Manchus, Mongols and Chinese, and forms a sort of hereditary profession within which the war duty is compulsory. About 37,- 000 are stationed in garrisons in Man churia; the imperial guard at Peking contains 16,000 to 17,000 and these are the troops expected to defend the foreign le gations aud protect foreign interests from the mobs. The Ying Ping army is called also “The Green Flags” and “The Five Camps.” This army consists of 18corps, one for each province under the gov ernor or governor general. The strength is from 540,000 to 660,000 men, of whom about 200,000 are available for war, never more than one-third being called out. The most important contingent is the Tien Tsiu army corps, nominally 100,000 strong, really about 35,000 with modern organization, drill and arms, employed in garrison duty at Tien Tsin, Taku and other forts. Besides this force, there are mercenary troops raised and Mongolian and other irregular cav alry, nominally 200,000 strong, really about 20,000 but of military value. The total land army ou peace footing is put at 300,000 men, and on war footing at about 1,000,000, hut the army as a whole has no unity or cohesion. There is no proper discipline. Oregon Ordered to Taku. Washington, June 19.—To meet the exceedingly grave complication that has developed in northern China and in or der that the United States may be com- meusurately represented in the protec tive measures forced upon the foreign nations the president has directed Gen eral MacArthur to send three regiment:! of regulars to Tien Tsin, with commis sary," field transportation, signal men and medical staff, and will make a force of 5,000. Admiral Remey has been di rected to send the Oregon to Taku as soon as she can start. She will take ex tra marines and sailors from the Monte rey, now with her, to Hong-Kong. Russian Troops Landed.

London. June 19.—Judging from the German official dispatches the American ships took no part in the bombardment of the Taku forts Sunday morning. No news has yet been received here of the relief of the legations at Peking, and Europe’s attention is centered far lesson the overwhelming display of naval forces at Taku than on the fate of the diplo matic staffs and 600 cosmopolitan resi dents guarded by a handful of interna tional marines within the legation com pounds. There has been no news from thence since June 14. Rumors that Japan will, as the man datory of the powers, restore order in China, is predicted in a dispatch from Yokohama. Berlin dispatches indicate that Germany will not object to Japan sending 18,000 troops, while Great Brit ain will indorse the plan with avidity, though perhaps only secretly. The Japanese legation in London has official information of the dispatch of 3,000 troops. In the meanwhile the British are dispatching six native regi ments, besides artillery from India. ■The revolt is spreading in western China. The representative of Pritchard Morgan, M. P., at Tchiug Tau and his party have been detained there owing to news that the revolution has broken out in Szechnai, which adjoins the province jf Hunnau. News comes that the missions at Tsao-Shih, central China, west, north west of Han Kow, have been destroyed. The rising seems to be spreading with rapidity, and shows unexpected organi zation among the anti-foreign elements. The missionaries at Tsao-Shih escaped and reached Han Kow in safety. Foreign Settlements Menaced, Cable dispatches from Shanghai re port that a number of Chinese cruisers are anchored in sight of the foreign set tlements, which are only guarded by a small Japanese gunboat. One thousand Chinese troops, with two 49-ton guns, still hold the forts outside the town. The viceroy is reported to have assured the consuls that the foreign settlements at Shanghai will not be attacked. The admiralty office has received the following message from the officer com manding the British firstclass cruiser Endynion: “The Taku forts opened fire at 1 o’clock on the morning of June 17 on the ships of the allied squadrons. After a six horns’ engagement the forts were si lenced and occupied by the allied forces. Additional men for storming the forts were sent ashore from the ships, the previous afternoon. The British ships up the river engaged were the Algerine (gunboat), Fame (torpedo boat de stroyer) and Whiting (torpedo boat de stroyer). The two latter captured four Chinese torpedo boat destroyers. The casualties of the Algerine were slight. Those of the storming party is unknown. Chinese Flagship Detained. “The Chinese cruiser flying the admi ral’s flag is detained outside by the allied fleet. No information of Commander- In-Chief Seymour’s return to Tien Tsin has been received by the rear admiral up to 2 o’clock in the afternoon of June 17. I am sailing forthwith to Taka.” The admiralty draws attention to the fact that the Eudymon’s report, which is of a later date, docs not confirm the Ja panese report of Admiral Seymour’s re turn to Tien Tsin. An agency dispatch from Shanghai June 19 says the latest news from Peking is that the dowager empress is greatly concerned with the capture of the Taku forts, and that wholesale degradations of the Chinese army, including Generals Tsung and Fung Fu Siaug, the governor of Peking and other high officials who promised in the tsung li yamen to ac complish the expulsion of the foreigners, have taken place. Three of the Taku forts, it is added, were completely destroyed and the most of the garrisons were killed or wounded by a charge of the allied fleets. m « M if M Fly Screens ought to be used in DWELLINGS, STORES, BANKS, OFFICES, and in every other place where flies, mosquitos and other annoying insects are a menace to health or a cause of discomfort.

A former English resident of Peking says: ‘If the legations have been taken, every one has been massacred. Murder would be the object and motive of the attack. Nobody would be spared if the embassies were, captured. The foreign legations were in the same quarter, but not closely connected.
