CHICAGO, June 23.-The convention
was called to order at 1908, but it was
not until twenty minutes later when the
proceedings were actually opened by
Chairman Estee calling upon Senator
Warner Miller of New York to preside.
Bishop Samuel Fellows of Chicsgo de-
livered the invocation.
The convention, after prayer, pro-
ceeded to the first ballot of the day and
the fourth of the convention. Just after
the vote of Connecticut had been an
nounced Mckinley arose..
McKinley,s speech.
| am here as one of the chosen repre-
sentatives of New York state. l am
here by a resolution OF the Republican
convention passed without a dissenting
voice, commanding me to cast my vote for
John Sherman. to use every worthy en-
deavor for his nomination. l accepted
the trust because my heart and judgment
were in accord with the letter and spirit
and purpose of that resolution. 1t has
pleased certain delegates to cast their
votes for me. | an not insensible to the
honor they would do me, but in the pres
ence of a duty resting upon me, l cannot
remain silent with honor. l cannot con-
sequently with the credit of the state,
whose credentials l bear and which has
trusted rae, l cannot with honorable
fidelity to John Sherman, who has
trusted me in his cause and with Lis con-
fidence. | cannot, consistently with my
W views of my personal integrity, con-
sent or seem 10 consent to permit my
name to be used as a candidate before
this convention. l would not respect my
self if | could find it in my heart To say or
permit it to be done that which could
even be ground for any one to suspect
| wavered in my loyalty to Ohio or my de-
votion to the chief of her choice md the
chief of mine. | do request, / do de-
mand. that no delegate who would not
cast a reflection upon me shall cast bal
lot for me.
Mckinley spoke earnestly and with
emphasis. He was evidently sincere, and
the convention at the conclusion of his
little speech generously applauded.
The two ballots resulted as follows:

THE CATTLE MARKET.
Prices Take a Very Sudden
Drop.
But the Outlook for a Rise
Quite Favorable.
Sheep Rule Weak, With a
Light Demand.
Special Dispatch to The Leader.

CHICAGO, June 23.-The cattle market
has gone all to pieces. The deal went
up like a skyrocket and came down like a
stick" The very best heavy steers have
fallen 50975c, while in some instances
green and grassy stock is selling 75c9
81. 25 lower than last week. Still it must
be remembered that the prices Of last
week were very much inflated and that
even the present range is far above that of
a few weeks ago. Native grassers, of
which the bulk Of present receipts are
composed, are away off and dealers pre-
dict they will go a good deal lower because
the West is full of them. Choice fat
beeves, however. are scarce and are still
worth a round. sc. although sales at these
figures are rare because of the absence OF
fancy offerings.
There have been no such cattle here as
| sold last week around 81. Receipts this
week have not been excessive, but refrig-
orator firms are well supplied and the
East is full of beef. Eastern markets did
not keep pace with this one on the up
turn, and many shippers lost heavily. 1t
Is claimed that dressed beef men are also
out of pocket a great deal of money, but
| their business is such that they must buy
no matter how prices 90. English cables
quote a decline in American beef, and it
may be added that the hot, sultry weather
is against a large consumption of beef.
All these things caused the break, though
as noted above the setback on the best
beeves is generally regarded as only a
temporary reaction, as it is now a gener-
ally recognized fact that a positive short
age exists in the supply of fat cattle.
The recent rapid upward fight of prices
would have brought them in if they had
been in the country, and very few are
being received. Half fattened grassy
stuff is hard to sell even at the decline, as
the supply is largely in excess of the de-
mand and the number left over each night
IS so large as to make it extremely doubt
full if any decided Improvement occurs in
the near future. These lean and grassy
natives come in direct competition with
Texans and the Texans regulate the price.
Butchers and Gamers stuff is weak
and dull at a substantial decline. The
heavy receipts of Texans have a bad effect
IN canning stock and COWS generally sell
below 50 25 and bulls below SO. Indeed
1t takes something choice to bring these
figures and very decent lots go at 81. 400
2.65, while old COVE are hardly wanted at
any price.
The market for stockers and feeders is
nearly ~liteless. Light little cattle are as
cheap as dirt" as the saying is, and
cannot be sold at that.
Texans, as noted above, are in large
supply and slow, Prices are 5O975c
lower than last weeks highest figures.
There are too many of them in sight here
aud at other Western markets, the bulk
of the latter, of course, eventually finding
their way to Chicago. Prime steers can
be had at So. 75@4.OO, while poor COWS
and bulls are a drug at 81. 1902 90.

The American Derby.

CHICAGO. June 23.-Fully twenty
thousand people went to Washington
park this afternoon to see the American
Derby run. There was great interest
taken, notwithstanding that it had been
discounted cveI since the list of probable
starters was first given out. as the Elm
peror of Norfolk was regarded as a sure
winner, unless the track was very muddy.
He did not disappoint his hackers, The
field that started was the smallest that has
ever ran in this event. The odds on the
Baldwin pair were almost prohibitive, l
to 5 being offered at start; Pinkerton
was offered at 5 to !, Falcon s to l, The
Lion 10 to l, White II to l, Tho Chev-
alier 80 to l..
Place betting was 3 to 2 against Pinker-
ton, 5 to l Falcon, 4 to l The Lion and
White, and s to l the Chevalier. No
place odds on the Emperor.
There was a good start, with Los Aus
geles slightly in the lead. White quickly
forged ahead and set out to make the
running. Emperor was two lengths be-
hind at the quarter. The Lion was up
with the latter and the others behind.
Near the stand The Lion closed up and
took third place and soon was picking up
on Los Angeles. Emperor coming along

quarter was reached The Lion had passed
White. Baldwin's pair followed two
lengths behind, up and up. Falcon
came after, but the slow pace had nearly
spent Pinkerton and the Chevalier.
When they reached the half The Lion got
a very slight lead on White, but as they
swept past the three-quarters Murphy let
up and The Emperor, with the greatest
grace, came up and passed the horses in
the stretch and swept down as he pleased.
Hamilton on Falcon tried a rush at the
turlong and secured a place, but his eff
forts to catch The Emperor were in vain
and the latter came under the wire a win
ner by a length with ease, Falcon second,
Los Angeles a close third. The Cheva-
lie-, White and Pinkerton following,
while The Lion came last, pulled up.

Surplus MILLION. of Chinese.

The Chinese have been barred out of
the United States and are being mobbed
out of Australia, and are unwelcome in
South and Central America. Yet tho
overlooking millions of China must find
some thinly populated country in which
to toll, and they are looking for 1t all
over the world. 1t is evident from the
reports of recent explorers in various
parts Of Africa that they should turn
their almond eyes toward the dark CONT
nent, where they viii not be ovcrpowercd
by race p~rejudices, where they will find
a tolerable climate and productive soil,
where they can introduce many OF the
customs and crafts that belong to Chinese
civilization, and where their peaceful and
industrious disposition will be of the
highest value.-New York Sun.

CHICAGO, June 23.-The Me,os prints
the following letter in fac simile. which
it says was received by a member of the
Kansas delegation:
Woe PRESIDENTS CHAMBER, WASH
INaToN, D. c.. June l6.-Yours of the
18th at hand. 1t does not make much
difference who Is nominated, in my judg-
ment. The candidate will cut but . small
figure in the fight. We can elect any
body, or we shall fail. The least conspic.
uous and, therefore, the least complicated,
man will be the best-somebodv like
Hayes in 1876. Among all the men
named there is not one leader" No
one whom personal or historical relations
of the past. would make a difference OF
l,U00 votes in the canvass.
Sherman, Allison, Harrison, etc., have
records hat would be awkward on the
tariff, the currency, the Chinese question,
etc. Depew's connection with railroads
and corporations would be a heavy load,
especially in the agricultural states. We
might as well nominate Gould or Wander
bilt at once. My impression is that Alger
or Gresham come nearer filling the bill
than any of the others, with some fellow
like Phelps of New jersey, who could
reach the conservative forces of the East
and get contributions from the manufact-
urers and Wall street, but you can Judge
much better than | what il best after con-
sulting with tho delegates. l have the
use of the wires during the convention by
the courtesy of the company. and you can
therefore telegraph fully at all times if
