How the President ReceiVed the News of His
Nomination.
WASHINGTON, June 10. - 1t was 80
o'clock this afternoon when President Har-
rson learned that the Republican conYen-
ton had indorsed his administration by
nominating him for second term. He was
sitting in his Office at the time chatting with
several meHb bers Of his Cabinet, probably
the least excited of the group. Reports
were being received on special wire, as
unin terrupted communication had been es-
tablished between the convention hall and
the White House. About o'clock, when
it became known that the ballot
was to be taken, Private Secretary
Ralford directed that the telegraph-room be
opened to newspaper men and others pres
ent HalfOrd sat near the operator aud
POstmaster-G General Wanamaker occupied
another desk near by. They were each sup
piled with tally-sheets. Around them were
about thirty newspaper men and friends of
the President. Secretary Elkins gravitated
between the telegraph Office and the PteSi-
dents room. He showed q thorough knowl-
edge of the situation as it was developed.
The operator handed the bulletins to Hal
ford, who read them aloud, recorded the
votes, then passed them to Russell Harrison
or Lieutenant Parker by whom they were
carried to the President, who read them to
Secretaries Noble. Rusk. Tracy and Attor-
ney-Geperal Miller.
There was not the least excitement dur
ing the ballotiGg until it was announced
that Ohio cast 45 votes for Mckinley. THIS
was entirely unlocked for, and caused
doubt for time of Harrison's nomination
on the first ballot. When it was announced,
however. that the Keystone State had given
the President 10 votes the small cloud OF
doubt was dispelled. When the announce
ment came that Harrison had been nom-
mated the operator became excited, aud
without attempting to write out the mes
sage, cried 1t cut excitedly. Great excite
ment followed. Good, good" said Mr.
Wanamaker, and Halford darted from
the room to advise the President.
He was too late, however, as Mr.. Tibbett,
the Presidents stenographer, whowas stand
Ing in the hall, heard the words and carried
the news to the President before Halford
reached him. Everybody, including the
newspaper men, darted into the Cabinet
room aud showered congratulations upon
the President He received them CRATE
fully. and shook hands with each. BE was
cool and composed, but made no effort TO
conceal his intense qualification. The news
soon reached the private part OF the Ex-
eeutive Mansion, and Mrs. Mckee, Mrs.
Dimmick and Mrs. Parker FASTENED to the
Presidents side, and he received their con-
gratulations in the most affecti0nate man
ner.
A member Of tie Cabinet suggested that
the President say few words. The Presi-
dent hesitated and then made short ad-
dress. After felicitous remarks concerning
newspaper men. the President said: II
can now only say with reference to this
event that has brought US here that the
first thought which fills my mind Is one OF

MINNEAPOLIS Convention HalD. June 10.
When the State of Pennsylvania was
called great surprise greeted the conven-
tion. Various delegates who up to this
time had apparently been doeile under the
leadership of Senator Quay revolted. and
when the result was announced it was
shown that Harrison had 10 more votes
from the State than had been expected.
The Harrison people cheered tumultuous-
ly at this, and their enthusiasm increased
when South Dakota followed with a solid
vote for Harrison.
A little later Texas gave him % votes. 1t
was then apparent that the President would
certainly be renominated. and the enthusi-
asm provoked by his followers was unri-
vailed by any previous incident Of the day.
Men cheered until they were entirely ex-
hausted. and the throwing Of hats, waving
of umbrellas and banners added TO
the pandemOnium of the scene The band
caught the inspiration of the occasion and
burst forth in triumphant blast. and the
scene was made mere beautiful when femi-
nine charm and manly vigor blended to-
gether in triumphant ovation to the man
who had now become the idol Of the hour.
In the midst of this excitement Chairman
Mckinley called Elliot +. Shepard to the
chair, and before dozen people were aware
of it was on the floor clamoring for recOg-
milton.
When order was restored Mr.. Mckinley

not repeal the Republican tariff, and then called
for the nomination of Harrison as "the leader Of

MINNEAPOLIS Convention HalD, June 10.
When Ohio was reached occurred the most
dramatic incident ever witnessed in a
national convention, that Of Presidential
candidate challenging the legality of the
vote cast for him by his own State.
"Ohio gives votes for Harrison and "A
votes for Mckinley" said Ex-Governor For
aker, and the pandemonium OF enthusiasm
that greeted the announcement showed that
Harrison had lost q votes in Ohio.
After the cheering ceased Mckinley arose
and in clear voice said; II challenge the
vote of the State of Ohio. / am a delegate
from that State"
After breathless pause Foraker rose and
said: "But you have been retired from this
delegation, Mr.. Chairman, by your election
to the Craftsmanship Of this convention.
Your alternate has taken your place and
we no longer know you as member of the
Ohio delegation"
The generous action Of Foraker toward
the man whom he but recently had been
fighting as one OF the opposition faction in
Ohio evoked all the better impulses of tho
vast audience, and resulted In loud applause
"The chair oyerrules the point of order.'
said Mckinley, "and asks the secretary of
the convention to call the roll'
This called forth another ovation from the
Harrison delegates In admiration of his
loyal support Of the President. Tie seere-
tary Of the convention then called the fret

great American protectionist, and the graf.

hall were quieted only when the object OF ALI

order.

and there was breathless suspense.

ernor, and this time it was the fiery Foraker
who, for loyalty to the Governor of his
State, deserved the plaudits of the multi
tude.
After the individual roll OF the State had
been finished it was discovered that ON the

by saying that listening to the speech of

Elliott f. Shepard arose with great gray-

the audience cheered.

The Boy Was REore Than Pleased.


There is an active. healthy small boy
in West End avenue who cannot COM
prehend what nervousness really is. He
knows that it is something extremely
disagreeable, for his mother has been
nervous as long as he can remember.
His private opinion, expressed to his
father one night, is that nerves are
things brought on earth by evil spirits
for the purpose of making little boys
miserable. One day he overheard his
mother telling neighbor that her nerves
were completely destroyed. The lad was
overjoyed, and to celebrate what he con-
sidered to be an emancipation he went
out in the back yard and romped with
his big dog, with damaging results to his
clothing as well as to his mothers gera-
MUM beds.
After the neighbor had gone away he
burst into his mothers presence with a
velocity that almost threw her into a
spasn, and before she could utter the
usual Don't be SO noisy, Harry he had
his arms around her neck and was ex-
claiming: "Oh, mamma, now we won't
have any more trouble with nerves.
shall we? | heard you tell Mr.. B. that
tours were completely destroyed. Isn't
that nice?"-New York Times.

If So 1T Was Visible at Sea More Than

Eight Hundred Miles Distant.
A possible explanation Of the curious
lights seen in the sky ct sea by Captain
Findlay, of the steamship Missouri. has
been offered The publication of the
curious phenomena created much inter
est. What the captain saw was this:
On the evening Of Aug. IS, between 8

about thirty seconds, and bearing east

it resembIed closely the northern lights,

nomenon appeared in the west south

80 min, longitude IS dogs. Sc min. the
phenomenon was again seen IN the
northwest at an altitude of about 30
dogs. and remained visible from 1850
until 11:15 p. IN.
Lewis FL. Rogers, of Boston, gives tss
following interesting explanation of the
lights:
There is large search light on
Mount Washington, which was started
up on the night of Aug. 10. The nighta
Of Aug 10 and II were clear, and the
light was running and being flashed
around the heavens between and II ~
o'clock There is an attachment to tia
apparatus by which the beam of light is
shut off and on at will, thus enabling
the operator to make long and short
flashes of light, by which method the
Morse or any other understood alphabet
is produced.
On the night Of Aug. II we had the
light pointed about 40 dogs. over Port
land for some time. The words Con
gratulations,' ''Mount Washington"
''Good night" were flashed and read by
an operator on the top of a building in
Portland, Me. He was not in line Of
vision with the light, and the beam was
| far over his head. This beam of light
would continue eastward almost indef-
nitely until it struck some cloud or mist
| in the heavens. Thus the light, or the
reflection of the light, might have at diff
ferent times appeared to the east, south
or north of an observer on the ocean.
To my mind, therefore, it is an almost
assured fact that the light seen by Cap
tain Findlay, of the steamship Missouri,
emanated from the search light pro-
