New York. June Ex-senator John NJ.
Thurston, who is reporting the Philadel-
phia convention for the New York Journal,
says:
Il still maintain my belief that Roose-
velt's acceptance Of vice presidential nom
ination puts him out of the presidential
probabilities OF 1904. The secluded pasture
Of the vice presidency is surrounded by
barbed-wfre fence against presidential out
break or intervention.
Therefore. in my Judgment. in the
parlance Of the street IT Is "up to- Roose-
welt, and he must choose as between a
vice presidency now and a probable presi-
dency four years hence. He is the arbiter
of his own fate. and the American people
are waiting his decision.
II know many of his opponents are in
sisting that Roosevelt can keep himself
before the country in the vice presidential
position. and that he loses nothing of the
presidential chances by accepting the sec
ond place now. They overlook the fact
that in the next four years the great ques-
tions of expansions and national foreign
policy are to be debated. legislated upon
and decided in the great arena. Out Of
their discussion and solvement will be de-
veloped the national and popular charac-
tiers Of the near future.
Great leaders will rise In both branches
Of Congress. and the attention of the ma
ton will be centered upon them. The pre-
siding officer of the Senate will be a mere
fieurehead. while the brilliant Foraker, the
logical Spooner, the intellectual Davis and
others will fill the public eye.
Il think Roosevelt feels this knows this
and wishes with all his heart that he were
safely out of the present complications

NINTH INFANTRY'S LOSS.
Orders Taking 1t to China Affect
Pay Adversely.

Washington. June 2.-The impression

War Department. that the Ninth Infantry,
which is to proceed from Manila to China.
will incur substantial money loss In do
ing 50. BY the act Of May d last Con-
gress provided that the United States
froops on duty in the Philippines. Porto
Rico ard Cuba should be allowed 10 per
cent additional for the officers and 70 per
cent additional pay for the privates. UP
10 that time the Pay Department had
been paying the men the same bonus un-
der the act of April IS. 1898. which permit
ted war pay to soldiers serving outside OF
the United States. The pay officers re-
garded the later act as taking the place
completely Of the former, SO. as China Is
not one Of the places specified where addi-
t,onal pay may be given. the Ninth Infau-
try will lose a very substantial sum OF
money by being called into extra hazardous
service As It Is evident. however. that
this was not the intent of Congress. the
Comptroller OF the Treasury to-day was
called upon by the War Department for
formal construction of the law IN this case.
In the hope that he may find some means

Philadelphia. June 20.-In the opinion of

the situation in China is even more grave
than published dispatches would indicate
and may develop into an International prob
lem such as the Powers have not had to

NO man can tell what will come out of
the present situation In China" said SEN
ator Davis when seen this evening. 81 shall
be agreeably disappointed II the immediate
consequence does not result In complica-

find that in awakening China the Western
world has brought into existence giant

fairs at fDopportune moments That the
Powers are in dilemma which they would
have been glad to avoid may be taken for
granted. Ii seems inevitable that China

Empress will be dethroned. This cannot be
done without a war. which probably will

Quay's Maneuver.
There was one man in the convention.
however who did not take the diplomatic
assurances from Washington that the con-
vention could have Roosevelt II they wanted
him, at their value. This man was Senator
Quay, who astonished the convention by
Offering as an amendment to the report Of
the Committee on Rules provision TO cut
down the representation TO the National
Convention from Southern States. The rep
resentation would remain the same as at
present except that instead of two dele
gates for each congressional district there
would be one delegate for each 10000 party
voters. Action on this resolution was de-
ferred until tomorrow.
II is shrewdly suspected Senatar Quay is
pressing it in order to keep to their word
those Southern delegations who are pledged
to Roosevelt, and yet have shown a disp0-
stion to go for some other candidate under
the manipulation of the managers OF the
administration.
1t is expected that the first FIVE States on
to-morYow's roll call for Vice President will
fall in line for Roosevelt. These are:
Alabama, Arkansas. California, Colorado
and Connecticut. BY the time they do it
is expected that general stampede will
have occurred, and that Roosevelt will be
nominated by acclamation.
Second Days session.
The second days session Of the conven-
ton Was harmonious and decorous. The
speech of Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts,.
the permanent chairman. was received. but
Senator Lodge lacks those pleasing gifts
of oratory enjoyed by Senator Wolcott.
Like Senator Wolcott's speech. Senator
Lodges was regarded as a semiofiicial
utterance on the administrations attitude
tn this campaign. The platform read by
Senator Fairbanks. chairman Of the Com
mittee on Resolutions was loudly ap-
enough and just weak enough. and many
Republicans who are confused and en-
barrassed by colonial questions, such as
the Porto Rico tariff and the Cuban POSTAL
scandal. thanked the Lord for it's omissions.
Three or four hours Of work tomorrow
will wind up the convention.
There Is likely to be spirited debate
