o i the direct issues, threatened a split
L, rwc n the Democrats and Populists.
The question was over the Indorsement
ot ,<:*-venson for Vice President by the
Populists—purely a sentimental one—but
it ; -coked a storm in that convention
v h practically blocked all business
from 11 o’clock last night un to the time
a ri was taken at 5 o’c lock this morn

Thf excitement developed by the dispute
over the apportionment of state ’officers
among the three parties was hightened
t*> the springing of the vice presidential
question. and it reached the climax at 4
o'* ock this morning, when M. F. Har
j non. one of the leading Populists of
Hi- West, warned the convention that it
wow id wreck the party, if they indorsed
the withdrawal of Tovvne from the ticket
and conceded the other demands. He taid
T-une’s withdrawal would lose North Da
k- a Houth Dakota and Kansas and the
funionists would have to light for their

J H Edminston, chairman of the Pop

Russian commander considered his m* n

bad removed two big guns on the fort

There is no disagreement among the
commanders, hut, in the absence of e
definite head several of them are dis
posed to follow their mvn methods and
they simply abstain from operations con
trary to these methods. The foreign i>op

apparent apathy. While the city is being
bombarded they are likely to suffer heavi

ent negligence of the governments to
furnish relief, and why reinforcements
are not coming on faster; the Americans
are particularly dissatisfied because,
though they have one of the smallest rep

Washington. July 12.—Senator Foraker
has been in town for a few days closing
up his private offairs here preparatory to
returning home to engage in the Ohio
campaign. When interrogated concerning
the alleged conspiracy to assassinate
President McKinley, Senator Foraker de
nounced the publication of such a story
as “criminal.”
He said he knew’ nothing of the rumor
beyond what h** had seen stated in the
lepers, and he deprecated publicity being
given to such incendiary rumors. He aid
he was in favor of the greatest freedom
of expression by the press of the country’,
but he thought editors of great newspa
pers should exercise great discretion in
publishing statements which furnished
oriminal and murderous suggestions to
fanatics. The Senator did not hesitate
to s*ay that there are cranks in this coun
try’ who, like Guiteau, may fancy that
they’ are inspired to commit a crime sim
ilar to that of the lamented Garfield’s as
sassination.
Commenting upon the political situation.
Senator Foraker said: “It Is too early in
the campaign to indulge in predictions
to the result. Of course,” said he. “I
feel confident that the ticket we nominated
at Philadelphia will sweep the country
next November, and my faith has not
been shaken by anything that has occurred
sinee. not even the action of the Kansas
City convention. There* i plenty of work
ahead for both parties, and 1 am going
home to do my share towards promoting
Republican success.”
West n* the Da ttleground.
Gold Democrats in this vicinity who
are worth quoting decline to make public,
their respective views concerning the
probable result of the Kansas. City con
vention. One of the most astue and re
liable members of the Democratic party,
in discussing the political outlook, remark
ed to-day ihat in his opinion Democracy
has selected the West and ihe Middle
West as the battle ground for the coming
campaign. “We are assured of a solid
South for Bryan and Stevenson, and our
leaders have decided to abandon all hope
of capturing any of the Eastern states
and will confine their fiercest fighting to
those states in the West w’hich forced the
adoption of the 16 to 1 plank in the Kan
sas City platform.
“It is too early,’ he continued, “for any
conservative man to venture to forecast
the result of the next election. It is nat
ural that the leaders of both parties
should be buoyant and enthusiastic in
preparing the line of battle. As the
campaign progresses, conditions may
arise to change public sentiment to such
an event as to enable Bryan and Steven
son to roll up an unexpected majority in
the electoral college, in spite of the ob
jectionable character of the free silver
declaration, which Eastern Democrats
claim is fatal to the ticket. There does
not appear to be any evidence of pro
nounced enthusiasm over McKinley, and
the opponents of Gov. Roosevelt are at
tacking him with the most vital of politi
cal weapons—ridicule—all along the line.
So far as I ran see, it looks as though
we are to have a repetition of the Tilden
ar.d Hayes campaign, where the result
may’ hinge on one or two states. This
time the doubtful states will probably be
found in the western circuit.”
Legation Im Guarded.
Poliee projection has been thrown
around the Chinese legation in this city
in consequence of a somewhat insignifi
cant incident which occurred here several
days ago. It was not done at the re
quest or suggestion of the Chinese minis
ter or any one connected with the lega
tion. It was done as a precautionary
measure because of the prevailing im
pression that the members of the lega
tion were losing their popularity here be
cause of the reported depredations per
petraied upon American citizens iu China
with the saru;tion of the Empress Dowa
ger.
The incident which brought the subject
to the attention of the police authorities
occurred on one of the principal streets
of the capital city a few days ago. Mr.
Shen Tung, the first secretary of the lega
tion, was out on business for the lega
tion. He speaks English more fluently
than any member of the legation, and ts
exceedingly popular in social and business
circles because of his uniform gallantry
and a general disposition to adopt Ameri
can manners and customs In almost
everything he does, except as for the mat
ter of dress. He is required to conform
to the regulation a'tire of his country,
but he conceals h s queue as far as po6-
sble by tucking it down his back under
his blue silk pomomi.
There is nn eccentric musician in 'thi*
city, well known In social and musical
circles, who Is addicted to the excessive
use of stimulants. Under certain pressure
the musician will hold up his acquaint
ai< es on the streets and profess the most
affectionate personal regard for them.
Under these conditions he encountered Mr
Chen Tung, with whom he has a speak
ing acquaintance, and proceeded to dis
cuss music and high art In the Flowery
Kingdom.
Mr. Tung, appreciating the condition of
the musician, and at the same time being
anxious to perform the official mission on
which hg was bound, endeavored to evade
his enthusiastic and eccentric acquaint
ance. The latter, a typical Southerner
with n b.aok wool hat. long black hair and
drooping black moustache, clung affec
tionately to the young Chinese attache.
Passers-by who did not fully compre
hend the situation imagined that the rep
resentative of the Chinese government
was being publicly assaulted. A crowd
quickly gathered, and explanations were
made which enabled Mr. Chen Tung to
extricate himself fiom the affectionate
embraces of his musical friend and pro
ceed on his way to the state department.
The incident created a little excitement
for the moment, and in the talking of It,
It was probably exaggerated. In any event
there ts a growing feeling of resentment
against the Chinese in this country which
is not confined to Washington, and the
police authorities, after due deliberation,
concluded that it would not be unwise to
keep an officer constantly on duty in the
Immediate vicinity of the Chinese
tion.

The Philippines are ours, and American

The Speech Wn* llndc by Senator
flolcott of Colorado.
Oyster Bay, L. 1., July 12 —On the
breeze-swept veranda of Sagamore, his
country home. Gov. Theodor© Roosevelt
to-day was officially notified of his nomi
nation for Vice President on the Republi
can ticket.
The ceremony was so simple a? to be
almost informal. Surround*.l hv r.i* m* ni
hers of the Committee on Notification, a
little party of invited guests, Mrs. Roose
velt and the rest of the Governor s family.
Gov. Roosevelt listened to the address of
notification by Senator Wolcott of Col
orado, chairman of the committee.
There was no attfmpt at ceremony. The
party simply ranged themselves about the
wide veranda, which commands a magnifi
cent view of Long Island sound, and Sen
ator Wolcott, practically without prelim
inaries of any kind, delivered a short ad
dress.
To this th Governor responded briefly,
and then luncheon was served An hour
was spent In general (Oinnsatkn on the
cool pDrchfs, and then the party returned
to Oyster Bay, where a special train was
waiting to convey them back to New
York.
Shortly after 12 o’clock Senator Wolcott
eallel the committee to the porch. There
he read the formal notification in his
clear and resonant voice. Senator Wol
cott then said:
“You are still a young man. as years
aie counted; but the count!y knows more
of you than of most of Its citizens. You
weie identified and will ever ie associat
ed with fhose efforts toward reform in
h** civil sarvice which command th** ap
proval cf intelligent men of ail noltical
I a-Ges. Your irrirg love of advnture
as made you a more familiar figure In
West* rn < amps and on Western plains
ban on the avenues of your native c:ty.
Your sterling Americanism has led you
to the mastery of our earli r history, and
you have told us of the winning of th©
W est with a chirm and a spirit that have
made us a 1 better lovers of our country;
while your tales of* Western hunting and
adventure lave fillid th** hr ast of every
lad ir> the land w th envy and tmuafion,
and whatever doubts may have exist© 1 in
the past, now that you are our candidate,
they will be believed to b- truo by every
good Republican.”
Senator Wolcott’s address was fre
quently applauded, his reference to Gov.
Roosevelt's hunting stories evoking hearty
laughter. When Senator Wolcott con
cluded, Gov. Roosevelt stepped a pace
forward and replied. After accepting
the nomination, he said:
"This is very much more than . mer*
party contest. We stand mi the parting
of the ways, and the people have now
to decide whether they shall go forward
along the path of prosperity and high
honor abroad, or whether they will turn
their tracks upoti what has been done dur
ing the past three years; whether they
will plunge this country Into an abyss of
misery and disaster, or. what Is worse
than even misery and disaster, shame.
“I feel that we have a right to appe.it
not merely to Republican©, but to alt
good citizens, no matter what may have
been their party affiliations In the past,
and to ask them on the strength of the
record that President McKinley has mane
during the past three years, and on the
strength of (he threat Implied in whnt
was done in Kansas City a few days ago,
to stand shoulder to shoulder with us,
perpetuating the conditions under which
we have reached a degree of prosperity
never before attained In the nationV his
tory. and und**r which, nbroal. we have
put the American flng on a level tvheie t
never before in the histoiy of the coun
try ha been placed.”
The following telegram ©a© sent to
pieKident McKinley:
”Tht committee appointed to notify
Gov. Roosevelt of his nomination to the
vice presidency have fulfilled that pleas
ant duly and join In this message of con
gratulation and good will.
“Edward O. Wolcott.”
Among the members of the notilb* it ion
committee present were T. Sv Hollins of
North Uarolina, C. G. Smith* rs of Vii-'
ginia, John S. i*ong of Florida.

ncgic and Mi Clews both think young
men are better without n college educa
tion if hr* intends to he n business man.
Many' fit. t-* loss business men tell tli#
l>.v to go to work instead of schools. A
Greek maxim says: ‘Tench the boy what
:he man needs.’ Farragut. Hannibal,
Alexander. Napoleon. Carnegie, VVana*
maker. Gould, Rockefeller were trained
■ rom boyhood for their work Our great
financiers are not college men. v Indi
ro tly college education affect? everybody*.
Herbert Spences Irlls us that the function
of education is to prepare for complete
living <f ihe loys who enter college,
one-half go back to the farm, one-fourih
eo into bus ness. There boys are not
offered preparation for complete living.
This is the ngo of ihe business man and
he must be educated for his work.
“The second rpns ion is. Should this
higher commercial education he given in
our colleges nnd universities in preference
!*> special schools? If the course is to he
planned and taught by classical or scien
tific professors, it will he a farce. If it
is planned by educational business men
, and taught by specialists, it will he •
| great success. Farmers and business men
j support both stole nnd private colleges.
1 ’ ba \ • i right to demand buslnem
education? for their sons. Commercial
courSe must be* added to college to keep
women from outnumbering the men in
colieges. Lnrßr expense can he saved hy
letting commercial students attend some
classes already in the colleges and use
the college libraries and apiaraius. Both
classical and commercial students will b#
broader and hotter for this association.”
Krntx >n C hild Study.
Those interested in child study heard
a paper on that subject by H. E. Kratz
of Sioux City, la.
Mr. H. E. Kr.ifz said, in part:
“The chief purpose of this paper is to
present n simple investigation, made in
one of our high school classes in Eng
lish, in regard to the sensations and emo
tions aroused by music, and to point out
its advantages as an exercise in Eng
lish. It was hoped 4bat h Invesß
gation would tend to lead the students
into deeper appreciation of that which
way best in music, to cultivate in them
a love for the beautiful, 4o enrich their
emotional life, to develop the habit of in
irospectlon, nnd thus reveal to themselves
iheir inner life, and In consequence help
to mould and shape right charater.
“The students were instructed to listen
lo ihe playing of three selections on the
piano, the titles of which were not given
ihem. make notes of oarh selection as to
what they would regard an appropriate
title. Its general character, what It sug
gested and what feelings or emotions it
arouse <1 Later, they' were to write out,
as an English exercise, their impressions.
The selections played were “The Alpine
Storm.” by Kunkei; “Cradle Song,” by
Holler, and hc “Harlequin.” by Chami
nade. These, as the tlffe indicates, are
t widely different in character and present
Hiking contrasts. The mad pranks of
“The. Harlequin” were most clearly set
forth, ns sixty oirt of the seven<ty-o*ne
correctly interpreted it. “The Cradle
Song” was most difficult to interpret, be
cause the Id* as the author intended to
convey were ne< so well marked. To
meditate, to muse, to be soothed, to hear
m lullaby, is to open the heart to many
varying emotions.
“The paper* disclosed generally that
the gills possessed maHirer view’s of mus
ical matters, understood their inner selves
better, discriminated more closely In
their nttempts to portray their feelings
than the hoys.
“They were also asked to describe their
sensations when listening to music. Their
replies indicate a very wide range of feel
ings, sensations and emqtions aroused.
Pome warned to dance, while others felt
nervous. Some felt their muscles twitch
ing, while other? were in a happy mood.
Rome .were thrilled by patriotic music
and were eager to do some great deed,
while o-thers wanted to run a race, etc.
Forty-one staed that they found it diffi
cult to express their impressions aroused
by the music. While the emotions are
expressed with difficulty, and we often
say that they ore too deep for words, yet,
if we more frequently came face to far©
with our Inner selves, if we cultivated a
closer acquaintance with these emotions,
we would be better able to clothe our
emotions with words, and also accom
plish that which is nf much greater value,
shape our own character more intellb
gently.”
