Scenes and Incidents Of the Phila-

Philadelphia, June 10. - The great
national Republican convention con-
vened In the exposition building at
West Philadelphia at noon today-the
forty-fourth anniversary of the day on
which General John G. Fremont was
nominated by the Republican conven-
tion held atMusic Fund hall in this city
in 1856. Here, amid the swelling memo
ries Of half century, and in the pres
ence of men who saw the blood-stained
clouds lie across the sunrise of the
party the Republicans met in the high
tide of their glory to name their ma
tional candidates and enunciate the
platform for the coming campaign.
From early morn till noon, party
leaders, marching clubs, delegates and
visitors wended their way toward the
great hall, and as the hour of con-
vening approached there was not
seat visible that had not its occupant,
while thousands thronged the aisles
and other points of vantage and disad
vantage. 1t was an inspiring scene.
The spacious auditorium was vast
sea of gay colors, old glory waved
on every side, and wherever possible
among the profusion of decorations
were revealed to the public gaze coun-
terfeits of famed party leaders, both
living and dead. Seated upon the stage
were the great generals of the party
and men famous in every cline. The
arrival at the hall of each Of the distin-
guished leaders was the signal for an
outburst from the enthusiastic dele.
gates.
Promptly at noon Senator Marcus
Hanna approached the chair in the
center of the stage, dropped the gavel

appearance OF Ohio's junior senator
had an electrifying effect upon the
mighty assemblage, and he was ac-
corded a tremendous ovation. When
quiet was restored, Chairman Hanna
read the call of the national committee
for the convention. This was followed
by the temporary rollcall Of the dele
gates.
Mr.. Hanna then, in few approprl-
ate words, introduced Senator Wolcott
OF Colorado as temporary chairman OF
the convention. Mr.. Wolcott was
greeted with a cyclone of applause
when he arose to speak. His effort
was an elaborate review of the achieve
ments of the Republican party, and
was we'll received. At the conclusion
Of the keynote" selection Of the fol
lowing committees was made: On Gre
dentials, on organization, on rules and
order OF business, and on resolutions
These committees retired for deliber.
alton and the convention recessed un'
til Wednesday noon.

German Minister Alive.

Berlin, June 2O.-The German gov
ernmept continues to express It's opin-
ions with the utmost caution regarding
the situation in China. Even now it
contrives to avoid the use of the word
"war" and still expresses a hope that
the Peking government Is innocent of
deliberate hostile action. The German
press, however, is outspoken In It's de-
mands for more vigorous steps.
An official dispatch says that every
thing is quiet at Kiao Chou. The moth

Tofi, Craig.

On Saturday evening, last we
had the pleasure of having Mr..
Tom Craig, our candidate for con-
gress, call on us at our Office. He
needs no introduction to the peo-
Pile of this county. He is a genial
gentleman and Democrat, and
we'll merits the support of every
Democrat In this district. He
stands head and shoulders above
his opponent General Grosvenor,
in honesty, integrity and upright
ness. He has high conceptions of
government and of the will and
sovereignty of the people of this
great country, far from the brutal
conceptions of his opponent. All
Grosyenor wants to be congress-
man for is for the spoils there is in
it. He has no thought of the peo-
pie and never voted for a measure
In his life for the benefit of the
people. He is tool of the trusts
and plays well his part. II there
was ever time In the history OF
this district that the people should
rise up 10 their might and throw
off this yoke of oppression it is
now. We would like to ask the
thinking people of this district
how long they expect to go on
with this Misrepresentation and
this crushing Of the peoples rights
Now is the appointed time to make
the change for reform and rid our
selves of this barnacle that repre-
sents not the people, but the cor.

pie who elect him. The howl goes
up that the district is so over
whelming Republican that to over
throw Grosvenor is next to i'm
possible. but that old cry eminates
from the enemies of the people aaC
not the people themselves. Lee
the people rise up regardless Of

London, June 20.-"The Russian
relieving force has arrived outside OF
Peking," says the Shanghai corre-
spondent of The Daily Express, "and
Immediately began to attack the city
on two sides, employing numerous ar
tillery. The force apparently arrived
in the nick of time, for the Chinese as
sert that the attack upon the legations
had been successfully renewed. On
the night of June 16 the Chinese troops
under Generals Tung Fab Slang and
Tung Ching attacked the legations and
set on fire five European buildings.
Nothing definite is known as to the
result, except that the Chinese were
disappointed, although other reports,
utterly discredited by foreigners here.
are that the Chinese, infuriated by the
destruction of Taku, have since mas
sacred all the foreigners In Peking."
A modified version of these rumors
received at Berlin is that the French, as
we'll as the German minister, has been
killed. The English at Shanghai think
that the Chinese had foreign advice in
organizing the defenses at Taku, be-
cause of the precision with which their
attack was delivered.

Dor mines were cut by the boats of the
warships the night before the bonn

sian cruiser Korietz and not the Mand-
schur that the explosion occurred, kill
ing and wounding more than so. 1t Is
reported that no fewer than 700 Chi
nese were killed in the forts.
The Shanghai correspondent Of The
Daily Express says he is officially in
| formed that Japan Is mobilizing $4,000
men for immediate transport. The
British cruiser Undaunted arrived at
Shanghai, cleared for action and took
UP a position commanding the Chinese
forts. There are three Chinese cruisers
In the harbor.
The new Chinese cruiser Hai-Yang
built by the Armstrong;, has been
taken into custody at Taku by the
British and Russians. At Yum-NanFu
where the rising has been gathering
force for several days $50 Christians
have been attacked at the French mis-
sion settlement many being put to
death. The French consul and three
missionaries are still in prison.
The disorderly elements have Sc.
cured the upper hand at Wu-Su and

have been massacred. A thousand
Boxers have gathered on the outskirts

A Shanghai correspondent says:
"The Chinese officials here assert thai
they have news from Peking up tc
June II. The situation was then very
serious. Beyond that they claim tc
have received nothing, but they deny
that dispatches have been withheld.

In the Big Parade and Demonstra
tfOns at PhfladeIphia

tions at Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, June 10. - More than
five miles of clubs, mounted, on foot,
by coach, floats and in carriages, inter-
spersed with music, red fire and cake
walk, is the shortest way of describing
the turnout of the visiting and local
political clubs in this city.
The police had prepared for the dem
onstration by roping Broad street. 1t
was wise forethought, for before dusk
Philadelphia's appropriately named
thoroughrhre was a mass of humanity
which tugged at times like an ocean
liner. The entire line of march was a
krush, but that section Of the street be-
tween the city hall and the Hotel Wal
ton was conspicuously animated, 1t
was in this section that there was the
greatest and most artistic arrangement
and display of elsctric light. The south
facade of the city hall was outlined by
strings Of incaniescent bulbs which
looked like illuminated beads. Ropes
of similar lights extended from either
side of the building to the summit of
the lofty dome, terminating at the base
OF the Penn statue.
The parade was divided into eignt
divisions, in which there were more
than 80 local clubs and about 20 visit
ing political organizations. The out
of-town clubs were scattered through
the eight sections and were escorted by
the club which was assigned to enter.

The Unseen Hand.

In all times of prosperity the proph-
cts of Israel declared that the bless.
ings came from Jehovah. In times
of disaster they found the cause to be
the dispIeasure of God at the disobe.
dience of the people. One may look
at the law which governs events and
close his eyes to all behind the law
and the laweiver. In recent events
of our national history it is easy tic
say all has come about in perfectly
natural manner and is only what
was to have been expected, but it is
equally true and much wiser to dis
cover the ruling hand of God work
ing out the problem of human his
tory. Why things happen is deep
er question than how they happen

told the family history for a week
back. 1t was of the striped, spotted
and streaked variety-in layers like
confectioner's jelly cake. The first
layer had a wash day odor, and |
knew that was Mondays cream; on
Tuesday they had onions for dinner;
the third layer told me that the
kitchen was painted on Wednesday;
Thursday the cook had combed her
hair while the crock stood open; and
my nostrils led me to Friday g cream

open on earth into the paradise of

The gate OF song is one of exquisite

of the Spirit and stood wrapped into
the presence of the Master!
The gate of prayer is ever open.
Night and day the redeemed of God

Strong are the towers and firm the

The gate of meditation is not so
much used as the other two, bat Is
full of uuietness and wondrous visions
of the Celestial City are had by those
who stand within its open doors.
Vistas ofunutterableglory and thrill
ing delight have made glad the souls
of pilgrims since the days of Abel and

The gate of the scroll, where one
