He Held u Long Conference \\ ill* Secretary Hoot, However, When the Latter Returned From Phila delphia W here He Had Gone to Attend to the Roosevelt Room. Grand Old Party in Need of h lira** Hand Attachment. Washington, June 18.—The President was so occupied with the Chinese question to-day that he gave but little time to the consideration of political affairs in Phila delphia. A few belated pilgrims journeying to the National Convention stopped over in Washington and endeavored to secure un audience with the President as to the de sires of the administration relative to the business to be transacted in Philadelphia. He was obliged to deny himself to several individual pilgrims, but he relaxed suffi ciently to review r two local political or ganizations, composed of colored men ar rayed in their campaign full dress uni forms. These rival organizations were headed by their respective leaders, Col. Perry Carson, a veteron whitewasher and former member of the National Committee from the District of Columbia, and Will iam Calvin Chase, editor of a paper which circulates exclusively among the colored population, and who, after many years of persistent struggle, has finally been elected a delegate to the Republican Con vention from the Capital City. These organizations, before taking the train for Philadelphia, were reviewed by the President from the front steps of the White House portico. The parade was so arranged as (o maintain a safe distance between the two organizations with a view to preventing any unseemly demonstration which might have resulted had the rivals been obliged to mingle at close range. There was a sigh of relief in police circles w’hen the dusky politicians from the Dis trict took different trains and started Phil adelphiaward. Secretary Hoot's Rlmmloti. The most conspicuous political visbor at the White House to-day was Secretary Root, who had just returned from a se cret mission to Philadelphia.

They discussed the Roose* veil stampede and kindred questions bear ing upon the convention in the cabinet room until 2 o’clock. They then proceed ed to the private dining room for lunch ed and there continued their discussion. Secretary Root positively declined to im part to outsiders any information beating upon bis trip to Philadelphia or his t on ference with the President. It was sub sequently ascertained that Secretary Rost explained to the President rh t the pro moters of the Roosevelt Is* m in • ppotd tion to the adminis' ration’s desire to have former Secretary Bliss on the ticket arises from two causes, at least that is the inside explanation put forward at Philadelphia. First, 811.-s Is unpopular with the Republican organization in Mew York, and besides Senator Platt and tho e associated with him in the management of the Republican parly in the Empire State are anxious to prevent Gov. Roose velt from presiding over the destinies of Ihe state at Albany for a second te m. Platt Worked on Roosevelt. In spite of a’! the direct and implied de nials to the contrary It Is known that Senator Platt has never wavered in his belief that Gov. Rotsevelt might be in duced to accept the vl e presidential nom ination under certain conditions. Tobtlng about the requited conditions, Senator Platt and his associates have been called upon lo invoke all the political skill, statecraft, <ven to the verge of duplicity to cul’ivate Gov. Roosevelt ui> to the stage where he m'gltt be regarded as be - in a r cep.ive attitude. All of the Governor's p rsonal characteristics pollt'- ral ambitions and desires have t een min utely considered, uni by reason of Ids aggressive and combative na'ure every method known to political conniving Is said to ha- e been r -sorted to to lmt>re*s Gov. Roosevelt with the Idea that not only Sena; or Hanna and o'lher friends of the administration antagonized his going upon the ticket with McKinley, but by a careful and adroit use of language, per sons inspired by Senator Platt have en deavored to make it ap-ear that even the senior Senator from N<-w York, and the regular org nizrt'on was at woik to prevftit his n minatlon Any ore who Is familiar with the Governor's love of a ccntrsl cart fully appreciate what effect such a combination might hnve upon him If he became convinc'd In Ills own mind that an effort was being made to prevent his onward march to notoriety and politi cal advancement. In Need of a Brass Rand. The atmosphere in Philadelphia Is heav ily charged wtlh the Idea that the Grand Old Party Is greatly til need of a brass band Ingredient to mix up with McKin ley In the coming campaign, and the Western contingent demands Roosevelt to arouse the sluggishness of the rank and file in that section. The principal objecdon to Bliss appears to be that he is a negative, instead of a positive, character, besides it is quietly asserted that the Grand Army of the Re public is opposed to him on the ground that he is supposed to be largely re sponsible for the pension policy inaugu rated by H. Clay Evans, ihe present com missioner of pensions, whose administra tion of that office has been so unsatisfac tory to the Grand Army of the Repub lic. Thus it appears that the indications all point to the nomination of Gov. Roose velt, owing to a desire to have a New York man on the ticket, and a peculiar combination of circumstances. NO WAR wTtH~CHINA. (Continued from First Page.) fore it cannot be assumed that we are at war until formal assurances to that effect have been received from competent au thority. Secretary Hay was asked if the latest developments had made any change in the policy which the United States had adopt ed toward this Chinese trouble. He re plied : “Our naval forces in that region have been directed to act concurrently with the forces of the other Powers for the pro tection of all American interests.” An Independent Command. Owing to the eccentric action of the telegraph wires and cables, which inter feres with Admiral KempfC communicat ing with the Navy Department and also with his superior officer, Admiral Remey, at Manila, ihe Navy Department may give Admiral Kempff an independent com mand in the interests of quick dispatch of business. There has been no friction whatever between the two admirals and the com mander-in-chief of the station* Admiral Remey, has lent due support to Admiral Kempff during the crisis. The York town was sent from Shanghai to Che Foo by Admiral Remey without express instructions from the department, and has served a very useful purpose there. It is supposed at the Navy Department ihat Admiral Remey’ has pursued a sim ilar course with respect to the gunboat l Concord, the sister ship of the York town, which, according to press dis patches from Manila, sailed yesterday from the place under sealed orders, pre sumably for, China. Fate of llie Marine Guttrd. Great apprehension exists at the navy department as to the fate of the United States Marine guard of fifty-six men which was landed at" Tien Tsin, and dis patched by rail to Pekin before the rail road was interrupted. They went forward to Pekin under an authorization granted by tho Chinese government to the United States minister at Pekin in common with other ministers to employ a naval guard at the legation. Just before the wires from Pekin were cut word came that Minister Conger had detadhed twenty of these marines from his legation and placed them s a guard at the Methodist compound. This is an enclosure of some ten acres situated near ly a mile distant from the legation where many missionaries and their families as well as a lorge number of native Chris tians are belieyed to have taken refuge. The instructions sent to Admiral Kempff relative to his participation in the seizure of the Taku forts, were broad, consisting of a direction to protect all American in terests, and to that end to act concur rently with the representatives of the other Powers. It wa explained that In the opinion of the authorities, this order conferred upon Admiral Kempff ample power to seize forls, to fight or to do any thing, in fact, on the sole condition, that In his judgment his acts should tend to the protection of American Interests. KEMPFF ASKS INSTRUCTIONS. Powers Taklqit I nltetl Action In De lon ml!n Toko Forts.

Jacksonville, Fla., June 18.—Everyth! iq j is ready now for the opening of the State j Convention to-morrow in o blaze of glory. j It will be Ihe largest convention ever held j in the state. This morning Cromwell Gibbons, of the Duval County Democratic Committee, j made the following appointments for the : convention hall: Ushers—George W. Frazier, chief; J. F. Marine, Chas. Swift, J. D. Tylee, John A. Phillips, ;u% John McCann. Doorkeepers—O. W. Chestnut, Ed. H. Gopkins, J. B. Casey, F. M. Hendricks. Gatekeepers—E. C. Beach, B. T. Stubhs. Pages—Claud Nolan, E. H. Sollee, F. R. Simpson, Telfair Knight, Edward Clark, Alva Herzog. All these met at the convention hall this afternoon and were given full instructions. They will be on duty to-morrow an, hour before the convention hall doors open. The , committee in charge has determined that ( the arrangements for seating the dele gates and visitors shall be of the best, | and that every requisite for keeping good order and providing for the demands and convenience of the delegates shall be had. Delegates' tickets will be given out to morrow, also visitors’ tickets. At the excursion to-morrow a large com mitttee from the Jacksonville Special Com mittee will be on hand to see that the delegates are well attended to and get every comfort. This afternoon the Hillsborough and other Southern and Western delegations I arrived, so that this evening all the dele- I gallons are here, and as u general thing, most of the delegations are accompanied by a generous number of friends and poli ticians, all shouting and working for their favorites. How Jennings Stands. It is stated to-night that Jennings seems to have the best' of the tight so far, and will lead in the opening ballot to-morrow. His friends claim over 100 votes as sure, with others to come in later. His position is shown by the anxiety of the other candidates' friends to win votes from him, showing Ihat they recog nize his position as one of great strength and him as a candidate to be feared. Many little attacks have been made on him, so his friends claim, and some of them rather of a small nature. One remark has nn kied in his friends’ mind, and that that “Jennings is a Northern man and not a Floridian." This has been staled to de tract from his worth. Mr. Jennings, while born In Illinois, has been a resident of Florida for many years, and has been a staunch Democrat all the while, fighting for his party at ail times His friends say that this attack is unworthy and will not be tolerated. He has a good following from the southern part of the state, and his friends claim that he will show a strength that will astonish his compet itors. From current talk to-day and to-night at the hotels, it is rather conceded that Hon. D. U. Fletcher of Duval will be elected permanent chairman wl’hout much opposition. He is a great favorite through out Florida, and is noted for his impartial rulings while acting ns presiding officer of any meeting or convention. As predicted, the question of the re moval of the Capitol or the intention to submit such a question to the people for a popular vote has excited wide spread interest. All the delegates are discussing It, and it has led to several diverse deals. It is stated. Doubtless its influence will be felt in many ways be fore the convention ends. The friends of the measure say that they are confi dent that such a resolution will be. em bodied in the platform, though they an ticipate some strong opposition from the western portion of the state. A Warm Contest. The contest between Supt. Sheafs and Prof. Mcßeath for superintendent of pub lic education promises to be as exciting as the gubernatorial, judging from' the remarks heard in the hotel corridors and at the headquarters of the various dele gations. Mr Sheets’ friends recognize the opportunity for making deals, over I the various candidates, and the Capitol removal question, and, it is stated, that they tire fortifying their position all 1 along the line. They express confidence j In being able to renominate him. Prof. I Meßenth's friends in the same breath j say he Is In the race, lias a good pros pect and will he non mated. They ad mit that the fight w'li be stubborn, and that Mr. Bheals wiil make a coniest till the last moment. The total vote of the convention will b> 282 and It requires twc-thlrds or about 184 to elect. Herator Call’s friends are active, and It is rumored that hi. friend* will sptlnz his | name on the convention. Those well post ed say, however, that the veteran has but slight chance of getting anything at the han’S of tills convention It Is very likely that the Duval county ddegatlon will name Hon Frank flask hi |h ir member of the State Democra*!.: Exequ ive Co'i.mltle \ Mr. ( lark made a record in the last campaign here, and his f I rids think that be deserves the. honor.

One feature of this convention will be unique, and tba will be tin* receiving of builetincs by a Democratic State Conven tion from a Republican natioti.il one. Supt. J. H. Gay, of the Southern Bell Telephone Company, has arranged to run a wpecial long-distance wire into the newspaper headquarters, close to convention hall.
