WHY ANOTHER SESSION.
Philadelphia Wanted the Crowd
Another Day.
CHAIRMAN HANNA GIVES UP.

Philadelphia, June 22.-Chairman
nesday afternoon. His opposition to
the nomination of Governor Roosevelt
failed in its purpose-that of naming
Secretary Long. He could have sue
ceeded if President Mckinley would
but hint his preference for Long, but
the president had only one answer to
all, that his wish was that the will of
the convention should prevail, what
ever that might be.
1t was evident that nominations
could have been made on Wednesday
and the convention adjourn, but there
was an understanding with Philadel-
phians that the delegates should be
be held in their city certain length of
time, so the day was passed in routine
matters, and listening to an Grafton
by the permanent chairman, Henry
Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts,.
The free choice of the convention
was evidently for Governor Roosevelt
for vice president from the first, but
his own repeated requests against this,
and Mr.. Hanna's active opposition com
bined aYai1ed to delay action, though
it was practically certain on Thursday
morning that these influences could
not prevent it.
The convention adopted the platform
without an opposing vote. 1t had been
modified from the original draft by
committees of the convention, and the
original text as well as the committee
changes were in the hands of all dele
gates during all the time in which it
was considered and acted upon by
committee.

WHAT BRADSTREET'S SAYS.
Marked Upward Movement in All
Farm Products.
WHEAT PRICES DISCUSSED

New York, June 25.-Bradstreets
says:
Midsummer dizziness in distributive
trade and industry and further reduc-
ton of prices of manufactured goods,
particularly iron and steel and raw
textiles, but a marked upward move
ment in nearly all agricultural pro-
ducts, are the leading features of the
business situation this week. Wheat
has advanced II cents per bushel since
June 1, and 20 cents from the low
point reached in November, a gain
over the latter period of % per cent in
price. Corn crop advices are still in a
high degree encouraging, but that
cereal has sympathized with wheat, as
have also oats, and hog products have,
in turn, felt the quickening influence
of high prices for corn. Improved de-
mand for dairy products is reflected in
slight advances this week.
Crop damage has been a moving
cause for the advance in the price of
cotton though the danger on the short
side on the old crop has been for some
time in a critical condition. Some
weakness has been noted in cotton
goods, without, however, favorably IA
voring distributing. Trade in dry
goods has been helped by warmer
weather. Wool is lower and the wool
en- goods market is rather quiet, await
ing the next London wool sale and the
opening of the spring weight season.
Building demand for lumber is not
active, but white pine is relatively
firm. Southern pine is in over supply
in number of markets. Anthracite
coal is in seasonable distribution, while
the demand for bituminous continues
alive.

Cuban Elections All Quiet.

Havana, June 19.-From all points
heard from the Cubans were conduct
ing the election in an exemplary
manner, being anxious to show their
fitness for independence. General
Wood has received nothing but salts
factory accounts from all parts of the
island concerning the behavior of the
people during the election. General
Lee, General Wilson and Colonel
Whiteside all make similar reports, to
the effect that everything was model
of Quietness and order.

Kruger's Son Makes Submission.

London, June 19.-Lord Roberts
says: 'Baden-Powen reports that the
district through which he passed is
settling down satisfactorily. Over
1000 stands of arms were surrendered
and Hans Floff and Pet Kruger, son
of the president, were to make submis-
sion to him yesterday, having been
previously disarmed on their farms.
Botha's army has retired and is be-
heved to be at heidelberg. His rear
guard was surprised and routed by Ian
Hamilton and his mounted infantry"

African News Satisfactory.

London, June 26.-An the news from
South Africa continues satisfactory
from the British point of view. Trains
ought to soon be running between Dur
ban and Johannesburg. According to
a Pretoria dispatch, General Botha
possesses full powers to conclude peace,
and it is reiterated that he is willing
to surrender. but it seems President
Kruger remains obdurate. The fact
that deputation from Petersburg in
northern Transvaal has approached
Lord Roberts with an invitation to
send a force to receive the submission
of the town is regarded as important.
for Petersburg is far removed from
the scene of the seat of warfare.

WELL EQUIPPED AND DRILLED,
Host1ities Conducted on Direct Orders
From PekiR.

Che Foo, June e6.-The attack on
the Tien Tsin relief force was made by
90, 900 Chinese using machine guns and
modern field pieces. The allies were
wise in retreating. Forwarding de-
tachments in this manner is suicidal,
and the defeats of the foreigners, even
though in small force. greatly aids the
movement of the Boxers, which is
gaining enormously through the ina
bility of the foreigners to make head
against it.
Practically the whole of Northern
China is ablaze. Hostilities are now
conducted on an extended scale, due to
direct orders from Pekin. General
Van Shi Kai, governor of Shang Tung,
commands II 900 foreign drilled troops
organized to high pitch of excellence
and equipped with Mausers. 1t was
in the plans that these troops should
go to Taku, but the seizure of the forts
was effected before they could get
there.

VIII Annex TransYaaI.

London, June 26.-Great Britain's

plishing work of pacifcation. The
smoldering embers of what once was
fierce resistance occasionally fared up,
but the hard fighting seems to be prac-
tically over The British military pro-
gress in the Transyaal is scarcely more

Orange River colony during the last
two months. The Transvaal anneXa-
ton proclamation is soon expected.
Almost all reports indicate that the
Beers are rapidly realizing the futi1ity
of further struggle when opposed to
such an overwhelming force

Shanghai, June 21.-The wires con-

board the Russia cruiser Korietz, that
the explosion occurred, killing and
iwounding more than fifty. It is re-
ported that no fewer than 700 Chinese
were killed in the forts. A correspond
'ent here says he is officially informed

The employees on the cars are in SIM

The cars are windowIess, warped, and

footpads and burglars. Scarcely a

Philadelphia, June 22.-Under the
call of states, yesterday, for nomina-
ton of president, Alabama, heading
the list was first recognized, and that
state yielded to Ohio. Senator Foraker
was recognized. He made a nomina-
ting speech but refrained from speak
ing William McKinley's name until his
last sentence. Then pandemonium
broke loose, requiring full ten minutes
to exhaust itself. The demonstration
finally ended in a grand doxology in
the singing of John Browns body
Then Governor Roosevelt seconded

would listen to from Senator Foraker
The states were called to vote upon the
nomination, and the vote was declared
The total vote $50. William McKin-
ley has received $780," Then school was
let loose again. The bands played,
banners waved and voices rolled out
n one rever berating roar.
Again the states were called for
nomination of vice president and
Alabama yielded to Iowa Colonel
LATE Young of Iowa nominated Gov
ernor Roosevelt. The demonstration
fully equalled that which was received
by the first action. Plumes, handker-
chiefs and hats filed the air. The only
vote lacking to make the result the
same as the vote for Mckinley was one
from New York, and that was Mr..

BRIDE OF A WEEK ATTACKED.
SIashed With a Razor By = Young
Woman.

FL Dorado, Ks, June 26.-Mrs. DIN
Castle, a bride of a week, lies at the
point of death at her home as a
result of razor wounds in her neck in
ficted by Miss Jessie Morrison. The
whole matter is shrouded in mystery,
as no one else was in the house or near
when the tragedy occurred. Mrs Cas-
tie, in an ante-mortem statement sign
ed, says that Miss Morrison came to
her house, asked admittance, accused
her of writing letter which she had,
and then attacked her with a razor
which she had with her. Miss Morri-
son claims self-defense, and accuses
Mrs. Castle of being the aggressor.
Miss Morrison is daughter of Judge
NJ. 81. Morrison, ex-probate judge of
this county, and has always stood well.
Mrs. Castle, formerly Miss Clara Wiley,
is a beautiful young woman of the
highest character, and is universally
liked and admired. She was married
to Mr.. Castle week ago.

MACARTHUR SENDS TROOPS.
Has Power to Do Anything for Protec-
ton of Americans.

ton of Americans.
Washington, June 2O.-The instruc-
tions sent to Admiral Kempf, relative
to his participation in the seizure of
the Talxu forts were broad, consisting
of direction to protect all American
interests and to that end to act con-
currently with the representatives of
the other powers.
It is explained that, in the opinion
of the other authorities, this order con-
ferred upon Admiral Kempff ample
power to seize forts, to fight or to do
anything, in fact, on the sole condi-
ton, that, in his judgement, his
acts should tend to the protection of
American interests.
Secret orders were sent to General
Macarthur few days ago to prepare
for the prompt dispatch of troops to
Taku, but it was not intended that the
matter should become public until the
movement was at least under way
Now that the matter has leaked out
from Manila, the officials of the war
department admit that the administra-
ton has concluded to send troops to
China for the protection of the lives
and property of American citizens.
The voyage from Manila to Taku
will occupy at least a week, so that,
under the most favorable circum-
stances, it appears that these troops
will hardly report in Chinese waters
before July.
