Private Cable Codes to Stand.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 2O-European gov
ernments have decided to let American
cable codes alone. Manager George E.
Paine of the Chicago Office Of the Postal
Telegraph company has received a dis
patch from Budapest stating that the
international telegraph convention now
sitting in that city has voted not to de-
mand the compulsory use of the official
vocabulary for code messages. Several
Chicago merchants are among those who
have paid big prices for their private
codes. 2. D. Armour II Co.'S private
code is said to have cost that firm 500
Goo, while Nelson Norris and George +.
Swift are reputed to have spent ea>n a
small fortune in code that would do
their business without telling anybody
about it.

have been almost ruined by the compul-
sorry use of the official code Of the Eu-

Mckinley by Foraker which turned the
convention into bedlam.
Save for the wild tumult that followed
Senator Wolcott's speech placing Blaine
,, in nomination at Minneapolis four years
ago, the demonstration today has had no
parallel in Republican national conven-
tons, at least in length. The Minneapolis
demonstration continued for twenty
seven minutes: that of today fell short
of that record but thirty seconds. Of
course it lacked the zest that comes
after a long and uncertain contest of
giants, and is IN a measure mechanical
but it did not want for inspiration and
enthusiasm. The delegates listened to
the opening words of the speech of the
dashing Foraker in silence. awaiting the
first mention of McKinleys name.
The Mckinley Demonstration.
The explosion came with it. Mark
Hanna climbed on his chair just in front
of the platform with his handkerchief
held aloft, 5000 people in the galleries
arose simultaneously and $4,000 throats
gave forth their wild enthusiasm. The
black mass of delegates and alternatCs
in the pit seemed to arise en- masse save
for here and there a delegation of oppo-
sitlon. Several American flags and tri-
colored plumes waved frantically. while
the noise was like the deep; steady roar
of Niagara. An Ohio delegate seized
the Buckeye standard and held it aloft
till it was seized and carried to the plat
form and opposite the stand an enor.
nous portrait of the choice of the con-
vention was hoisted in the gallery.
The minutes passed. but the delegates
and spectators did not weary. Just at
the close, as the shouting thousands were
ready TO sink from sheer exhaustion,
man wearing Napolecnic cockade of
the First empire came from beneath the
galleries and pushed his way over the
press benches to the platform.
Altogether the scene was a remark
BILE one and testified to the popularity of
the candidate who had been placed in
the field.
McKinley's vote exceeded the expecta-
tons of his friends as he received 66111,
almost three times as many as his five
opponents.
