CONVENTION MEETS,
The Republicans in Session at Phila
delphia.
THE PRESIDENT’S NAME !S CHEERED
National Chairman Mark Hanna Calls
The Convention to Order—The Vice<
Presidency.
Convention Hall, Philadelphia, Spe
eial.—The crowds were slow in gath
ering at the convention hall When
shortly after 11 o'clock the band in the
gallery awoke the echoes in the vast
r of spa.ee, there were not more than
1,000 Arsons in the great auditorium'
But it was astonishing how rapidly
thy- crowds began to arrive after that
hour. They poured in in steady
streams until they blackened the acres
of seats, An unusually large number
were women, looking fresh and sweet
in their summer gowns. The leaders
nttre slow in arriving and it was not
until Senator Hanna put in an appear
ance, at 11:45. that the enthusiasm of
thousands was uncorked. He got a
cheer as he moved up the centre aisle,
tile full length of the hall, to the plat
form. General Grosvenor. the white
bearded old veteran, was immediately
lecognized, and he, too. got a cheer.
Occupying prominent seats on the
platform were four of the 14 men now
living who were delegates to the first
convention of Republican party, held
■in Philadelphia, June 17. 1856. All were
■members of the regular Ohio delega
tion. Three of them were prominent
in the anti-slavery fight that led to the
‘convention held in Pittsburg, February
'22, 1858. which was in reality the pre
curser of the Philadelphia convention
and these men. therefore, claim to be
among those who were chiefly instru
mental in forming the Republican
party. Cornelius N. Bliss, of New
York, got a scattering applause as he
came in and took his seat with the
New Y’ork delegation, and Senator
Platt, of New Y’ork got, a populai
greeting. As the hour of noon ap
proached the delegates entered in a
solid stream and spread out over the
! seats reserved for them. Meantime,
the band was playing popular airs and
the scene was impressive and animate
ed. At noon Senator Hanna took his
seat at the chairman's table, but al
though this was the hour set for call
ing the convention, he waited a few
moments, conferring with Secretary
Oick, Senator Wolcott and otaers.
At 12:27 the first pronounceu demon
stration of the convention occurred.
Governor Roosevelt came in through
the main entrance and moved down
the centre aisle. He wore his Rough
Rider hat. and was instantly recogniz
ed. A deep, reerbrating cheer greeted
him. Men jumpe-d to their chairs to
cheer him and women fluttered their
handkerchiefs. Delegates crowded for
ward to greet him as he moved through
the press and his entrance, theatrical
though it may have been, was like that
of a conquering hero. He took s seat
immediately fn the rear of Senator
Platt and In front of Senator Depew.
Governor Taylor, of Kentucky, came in
kith Governor Bradley, of that State,
the former smiling and unruffled after
all his turmoil. Just across was Sena
tor Foraker with his hair tossed, look
ing as though he had been having hard
conferences, while General Grosvenor,
looking like a patriarch, paced the
aisle aud grasped hands.
The long gallery was now packed
with humanity and the floor from wall
to wall, was a living sea of people.
There was that indescribable hum of
myriads of voices whien is only heard
at the gathering of thousands of peo
ple. Before Chairman Hanna on the
desk was a heavy plank about a foot
square and on this lay his gavel. The
gave! was unique. It consisted of a
heavy square oak piece filled with a
handle and looked more like a maul
than a gavel for a presiding officer.
Senator Hanna seemed in no hurry to
call the convention to order. Attired in
a sack suit with a white vest he sat
chatting with those about him, his
broad face beaming, his eye meantime
roving over the convention. At 12:30
■the band broke into the stirring strains
of ‘The Star Spangled Banner.” Gov.
Roosevelt was first on his feet in re
sponse to the national anthem. In
stantly the whole convention rose en
masse. Ten thousand people stood
while the stirring air was played and
applauded it with a cheer as they took
their seats. Chairman Hanna re.
mained standing. He lifted the un
gainly gavel and rought it down with
a resounding whack. Instantly all
eyes were riveted upon him and a
wave of applause swept the hall.
Chairman Hanna faced the storm of
applause with a resolute face. His
stern features did not relax, but he
nodded an acknowledgement as the
applause broke here and there into a
cheer. When it had subsided he
brought down the gavel again.
‘‘The convention will come to order,’’
he shouted at exactly 12:35.
“The convention will be opened with
prayer,” he continued, ‘‘by the Rev. J.
Gray Bolton, of the Hope Presbyterian
Church, of Philadelphia.”
CtiHirttihfl Hahtia i'feffidirteti standing
with bowed head While the divine came
forward in the black robes of his of
fice to deliver his invocation, hut the
delegates in the pit remained seated
and only here and tllere did one of the
Spectator!; rise. All, however, bowed
thfeir heads reverently while Rev. Mr.
Bolton read his prayer from small slips
of paper which he hed in the hollow
of his hand.
As the prayer closed, Senator Hanna
was again on his feet, and adjusting
his eye glasses, said in a resonant
voice:
‘ The secretary of the national com
mittee will now read the call for the
convention.”
As Col. Dick stepped forward, call in
hand, he was given a ripple of ap
plause. He nead the formal call, while
the vast assemblage fretted for the
more vital proceedings.
The remainder of the day’s session
of the convention was devoted to
routine business, the appointment of
committees, and other matters in de
tail. Storms of applause greeted the
name of McKinley whenever men
tioned.
The day’s session closed by adjourn
ment at exactly 3 o’clock.
Typhoon in the Philippines.
Manila, By Cable. —The entire con
sular corps at Manila called Monday
morning, to pay their respects to the
United States commissioners, headed
by Judge W. H. Taft. A typhoon runs
washed out the road between Tarlac
and Manila, delaying the arrival of the
Ninth Regiment here for probably a
week. The typhoon has caused the
United States transport Hancock to
(return to the bay, where she now
awaits a moderation of the weather.
The Census.
Washington, Special.—Director Mer
riam, of the Census Bureau, said that
the results of the work of the enumer
ators could not be known for at least
two weeks, and it might be a monch
before the first bulletin is issued. He
stated positively that the only news in
regard to the count would be made pub
lic through bulletins issued at the Cen
sus office. The enumerators are strict
ly forbidden by law to give out infor
mation of any kind in regard to their
work, and if they violate this law they
will be heavily fined.
Seized by Sheriff.
Frankfort, Ky., Special.—The offted

Judge Moore’s court and the sheriff
look possession of the office.
Contests Settled.
Philadelphia, Special.—The Republi
can national committee put in three
long sessions on the contests which
have been before it and adjourned late
Friday night with all the controversies
practically of except that
from Delaware. An important action
was the seating of the Brownlow dele
gates in the Tennessee contest and re
fusing admission to the friends of Pen
sion Commission Evans. Th© contest
was very bitter and at one time there
was a possibility of a serious encoun
ter between brownlow and Evans.

SITUATION GROWS WORSE.
The Powers of the World Combine to
Attack China.
London, By Cable.—" The Russian
revealing force arrived outside of Pe
kin Tuesday morning,” says the
Shanghai correspondent of the Daily
Express, “and imm sdiately began to
attack the city on two sides, employ
ing numerous artillery. The force ap
parently arrived in the nick of time,
for the Chinese assert that the attack
upon the legations had been success
fully renewed. On the night of June 16,
the Chinese troops, under Generals
Tung Fuh Siang and Tung Ching, at
tacked the legations, and set on fire
five European buildings. Nothing defi
nite is known as to the result, except
that the Chinese were disappointed, al
though other reports, utterly descred
ited by foreigners here, are that the
Chinese, infuriated by the destruction
of Taku, have since massacred all the
foreigners in Pekin. " t
A modified version of these rumors
received at Berlin is that the French,
as well as the German, ministers, has
been killed.
The English at Shanghai think the
Chinese had foreign advice in organiz
ing the defenses at Taku, because of
the precision with which their attack
was delivered.
The wires in connection with the)
harbor mines were cut by the boats oil
the warship the night before the bom
bardment. It is now reported at Shang.
hai that it was on board the Russian
cruiser Korietz, and not the Mandchut
that the explosion occurred, killing and
wounding more than 50. It is reported
that no fewer than 700 Chinese were
killed in the forts.
The Shanghai correspondent of thi
Daily Express says he is officially in
formed that Japan is mobilizing 25,
men for immediate transport.
The British cruiser Undaunted arriv
ed at Shanghai Monday, cleared foi
action and took up a position com
manding the Chinese fonts. There art

The new Chinese cruiser Hai Yang,

At Yum Nan Fu, where an uprising
has been gathering force for several

many being put to death. The French

In prison.
The disorderly elemen II have secur
ed the upper hand at Wa Hu and Sze
chuan, where the native Christians
have been massacred.
A thousand Boxers have gathered on
the outskirts of Tien-Tsin.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily News, telegraphing Monday,
says: “The Chinese officials here as
sert that they have news from Pekin
up to June 17. The situation was then
very serious. Beyond that they elaim
to have received nothing, but they de
ny that dispatches have been withheld.
Although I am not willing to adopt
the alarmist reports, my impression
gathered from the consuls and the
Chinese authorities, is that the worst
is to be feared in Pekin. Admiral Sey
mour’s column is now in the middle of
an arid plain with no food and no good
water and surrounded by hostile for
ces.”
Battle in China.
London. By Cable.—China declared
war against the world when the Taku
fortifications opened fire upon the in
ternational fleet. The accounts of
what took place are still unsatisfac
tory, the best semi-official information
being the dispatch received at Berlin
from Che Fu. The unofficial narra.
tives, coming by way of Shanghai,
vary widely and bear internal evidence
of supplementing the main facts with
guess work. One dispatch says that
the Y’orktown participated in the bom
bardment. Another asserts that Ameri
can marines formed part of the storm
ing force of 2,000. An Associated
Press dispatch rom Che-Fu, dated
Monday afternoon, says: “The forts
on both sides of the Taku are now oc
cupied. The Chinese opened fire un
expectedly. The casualties to the
mixed forces were as follows: Killed,
British 1; German. 3; Russian, 16, and
French 1. Wounded, British 1; Ger
man, 7; Russian, 45; French 1. The
Chinese torpedo boats were seized.”

From Secretary Hay.
Nashville, Special.—Dr. S. H. Ches
ter, secretary of the board of foreign
missions of the Southern Presbyterian
Church, has received the following
from Washington in reply to a commu
nication in reference to the position of
the missionaries in China: “We are
doing all that is in our power to obtain
to the condition of the
various American missions in China
and to render such protection
and assistance, as is possible, in the
delicate and diffldelicate and difficult
circumstances which now prevail there.
The President will not relax his efforts
in affording all possible protection to
our people in China

Secretary of State.

BLOOD AND FIRE
The Whole Chinese Empire is in a
Ferment.
COMMUNICATION IS CUT OFF.
Our Consul Not Heard From—Hurried
and F.xcited Cabinet Meeting In
Washington.
London, By Cable. —A special dis
patch from Hong Kong says all the
Pekin legations have been destroyed
and that the German minister, Baron
von Ketteler, has been killed.
Wlhat with the reports coming
through Tien-Tsin that the Boxers
hfive massacred a number of native
converts and servants of foreigners in
the east city of Pekin, besides burning
the Catholic Cathedral at Pekin, the
situation in the Far East appears per
eeptility graver. To add to the diffi
culties comes the news that telegraphic
communication between Shanghai and
Tien-Tsin is totally interrupted Conse
quently the prevailing uncertainty as
to the facts and possibilities of the
position will be accentuated.
It is generally recognized now that
the position of the foreigners, at Pe
kin, is perilous, as there is but a short
step from the massacre of the servants
of foreigners to the killing of the for
eigners themselves.
“If a massacre is averted,” says The
Spectator, “and the palace reduced to
seeming obedience, the grand diffi
culty will be to decide on the next
step. The powers can neither encamp
permanently in Pekin nor leave until
it is established that the government
is prepared to respect international
obligations and able to hold China to
gether. If anarchy breaks out in
China the object of the powers is de
feated. The failure or success of the
present efforts may involve a series
of wars of which no man can see tha
end.”
Continuing, The Spectator suggests
that an egress from the present situa
tion must be found in the appoint
ment, by the representatives of thd
powers, of a competent vizier, as has
so often been successfully done id
other Eastern crises. Otherwise tha
hideous calamity of China falling to
pieces may in a few
ing the cupidity and overtaxing thd
capacity of all the ruling men.
Commenting upon the supposed he&i
Ration of the United States to actively
participate in the movement to sup
press the Boxers, as reported in cablel
dispatches from Washington. The Sta
tist says:
. “No European power will misunder
stand the present hesitation of the 1
United States and jump at the con
clusion that American feeling and
opinion may be disregarded. The
United States will undertake military
operations in China as it did against
Spain if the protection of its citizens
requires them, or if the powers threat
en to exclude American merchants
from their rights in China acquired by
treaty. Unless the British ministers
muddle matters, Great Britain can
reckon on the assistance of the United
States and Japan in maintaining, even
by force, the policy of the open door
in China”
A cabinet meeting held under the
presidency of Lord Salisbury was con
cerned almost wholly with the situa
tion in China.
Not a Word From Conger.
Washington, D. C., Special.—Not a
word of news came to the State De
partment over night from Minister
Conger, who has now been cut off
from communication since last Tues
day. Even the United States Consuls
in North China ports are silent. Ad
miral Kempff has not been heard from
since yesterday. This absence of offi
cial reports has given rise to grave ap
prehension here. It was expected that
there might be delay in hearing from
Mr. Conger, but in the case of Admiral
Kempff an early report was looked for
and it is feared that the officers of the
foreign fleet at Taku have been pre
vented from reaching the cable station
there by the open hostilities of the ,
Boxers or by the sinister orders of the ,
Chinese government.
Bryan’s Nomination Assured.
Chicago, Special.—By the action of
the Democratic State Convention in
California, Missouri, Kentucky, Geor
gia and Vermont Hon. William Jen
nings Bryan is assured of the nomina
tion for President on the Democratic
ticket. The instructions given dele
gates by those five States carry Mr.
Bryan’s vote, it is believed, consid
erably over the two-tihirds necessary
to nominate him.

The Lorenzo Marquez correspondent

tiations. Mr. rtcyn, bearing in mind
that his former advice was scouted, de
murred to this and pointed out that ac
cording to the treaty between the Re
publics neither could conclude peace
without the other.
“Mr. Kruger, equally unwilling to in
cur the charge of a breach of faith, had
to continue the war. Nothing further
is known regarding the rumored peace
negotiations; but it is a matter of no
toriety that Mr. Kruger favors peace
on almost any terms, but dislikes per
sonally to take an_ initiative that
would involve unconditional surrender

” From the Philippines to China.
Washington, D. C., Special.—lt seems
probbale that, after all, the United
States troops in the Philippines will
be called upon to furnish a cocftpgsnt
to assist in the rescue of th<yloreign
missionaries in China, and in rae pro
tection of the foreign embassies and
legations. A great change has come
over the administration in this regard
for as late as FriekV there was a ffrni
determination not'to go beyond the
employment of marines and sailors.
There was still such a purpose when
the cabinet met ami there is even now
a disposition to limit the United States
forces employed to the navy, if suffi
cient force can be secured from that
branch of the service. So enquiries
are being made of the navigation bu
reau and in turn of Admiral Remey, to
see to what extent the United States
forces in China can be augmented. It
is relized that the small torce now
engaged is entirely disproportionate,
when compared with the foreign con
tingents, to the interests and duty of
the United States, 'there is reason to
believe that the navy has done all that
it cun do with safety in China at this
stage, and that recourse must be had
to the army. Already Admiral Remey
has indicated that he cannot spare
more marines, and he is looking to the
Navy Department for another battal-1
lon to replace the men be has> oeen
obliged to withdraw from the naval
station at Cavite to assist Admiral
Kempff.
