As the name of Alabama was call

announced that he would yield to Iowa
to present the candidate. The chair

for vice president. He withdrew the
name of Dolliver and offered that OF
Roosevelt.
Young Causes a Demonstration.
Colonel Young was in Cuba at the
time Roosevelt led his gallant rough

eloquent and touching. The demon

candidate of the young men of the
country, as one who represented their
desires and ambitions and embodied
their patriotism and Americanism was
not second to the accorded to that of

and hats filled the air. The band played
There Will Be a Hot Time in the Old
Town Tonight" The delegates began
marching around the hall, filing past

congratulations. The demonstration

speech seconding the nomination. Ash

London, June PA news Agency
dispatch from Shanghai, dated June 20,
says:
after an arduous march and fre-
quent fighting with the Chinese, Vice
Admiral Seymour arrived at Peking
Sunday afternoon. On five occasions
the Chinese attacked the column in
great force. There We're many mount
ed men among the Chinese, but most
of the natives We're badly armed. At
times they fought with admirable cour-
age and bravery. The losses of the
Chinese during the march is estimated
at 500 killed. The losses OF foreigners
We're trifling.
THE exact state of affairs inside
Peking it is impossible to describe, in
view of the many conflicting reports,
nothing having been received from the
Legations or foreigners there.''
Well informed people express the
opinion that the summoning of Ii
Hung Chang to the capital foreshadows
the early submission of the dowager
empress to the dictates of the pow-
ers.

DoLLIvER THANKS IowANs.
Says He Has no Regret at Not Securing
Nomination..

Convention Hall, Philadelphia, June
a1.- Especially At a meeting of the
Iowa delegation this morning Dolliver
spoke as follows: ''Nlr. Chairman: I
have no words to express my thanks at
the cordial interest and good will
shown me by the delegation. You have
labored in this business under disad-
vantage SO great as to make the activ-
ity of the delegation a thing shall re-

place, my best friends, including my

bearing aloft their standards formed a
grand procession about the hall. Indi-
ana started rush to the platform,
Governor Mount carrying up the state
standard and leading the delegation
down the aisle. 1T was exactly fifteen
minutes when order was restored.
Roosevelt Seconds Nomination.
Lodge recognized Roosevelt and
again the multitude went into convul-
sions of enthusiasm. After demon-
stration lasting several minutes Roose-
velt raised his hand and brought it to a
"a close. Roosevelt then seconded the
nomination in strong speech.
Governor Roosevelt's speech in full
will he found elsewhere in this issue
Ed.)
The closing words of the governor
brought another demonstration and
for minutes it seemed that the conven-
ton would go mad then and there and
make two nominations instead of one.
When quiet was restored the chairman
recognized Thurston of Nebraska, for
a speech seconding the nomination of
president.
Lodge then recognized John w.
Yerkes, OF Kentucky, to the second
nomination in behalf of the south. He
asserted that no convention had ever
been SO unanimously for one man as
was this for Mckinley. His state had
given for the first time in many years
republican majority for Mckinley
in 1896 and it was going to stay in the
republican column, he said, and the
audience cheered him. When Yerkes
concluded cries of s'vote" came from all
parts of the hall, but Lodge recognized
George Knight, the head of the Cali
fornia delegation who with a ringing
speech seconded. the Mckinley nomina-
ton.
He was followed by Governor Mount,
of Indiana. AT the conclusion
of Mounts address the call
of the roll by states for the vote on the
nomination for president begun.
There was no demonstration until
New York's vote was announced which
brought out round of applause. AT
the conclusion of the vote Lodge an
nounced that the total vote cast was
$50, and William Mckinley had received
$50 votes. The chairman declared Will
liam Mckinley the nominee for the
presidency for the term beginning
March fourth, 1901.
Pandcmoniuln Breaks Loose.
Again the pandemonium broke loose
in one swelling chorus of enthusiasm

story of the convention.

Philadelphia, June 21.-The ccnven-
tion hall was crowded long before
Chairman Lodge called what promised
to be the closing session of the nation
{ al Republican convention to order.
Delegates and spectators We're all in
good humor as the conquest was over
and the day was to be love feast.
Roosevelt entered the hall at ten
o'clock and was greeted with tremen-
dous cheering. He was surrounded by
delegates when he reached the pit
and was showered with congratula-
tions. He made no protestations or
dissent, but smilingly repeated his
thanks. Another outburst greeted
THE entrance of Hanna. When he
reached the New York delegation,
where Roosevelt was holding recep-
ton, he greeted the Rough Rider
warmly, even affectionately. For two
minutes they remained in close com
munion.
4 At 1920 o'clock a big band from
Canton, the presidents home, broke
out with the pealing strains of the
national anthem. The Whole audience
rose and stood until twas concluded.
This band is one of the most popular
organizations of it's kind in the United
States. 1t is here on the day of the
nomination OF Mckinley at the presi-
dents own request. He regards the
band as a mascot. Heretofore in his
congressional. gubernatorial and pres
idential contests the band has played
him to victory.
Convention Comes to Order,
AT 1886 Lodge raped the conven-
tion to order while the band ushered
in the session with the national an
Them. Prayer was offered by Arch
Bishop Ryan, of Philadelphia. The as
semblage rose, bowed their heads, and
the Arch-Bishop's strong, rich voice
rolled out in a prayer filled with senti-
ment Tor the deep responsibility rest
ing upon t he party assembled.
The chair then laid the amendments
and the rules offered yesterday by
Quay as unfinished business before the
convention. Quay arose and announced
the withdrawal of the amendment
proposing change of representation
in the national conventions. This was
accepted by the southern delegates
as a concession to them, and they
rose ennasse, cheering wildly at the
withdrawal of the proposition.
Mckinley is Nominated.
Lodge announced that next in order
was the nomination of presidential
candidates and Foraker was recognized.
Amidst a tumult of applause Foraker
went to&the platform and when uuiet
was restored began to speak. He was
repeatedly interrupted with cheers.
His announcement that the nomination
OF Mckinley was equal to his election in
November brought out yociferous
cheers.
Foraker's speech.
Foraker then said: sMr. Chairman
and gentlemen OF the CONVENTIONAL

frequent and long continued. But it
remained for the closing sentence and
LOT the first mention of Mckinley by

Fear for conser,s safety.

Washington, June 21.-The matter OF
the personal safety of United States
Minister Conger and his subordinates in
Peking is exciting much discussion
here, as it is of prime Importance. The
strong possibility that all foreigners
in Peling have been inaiscriminately
massacred cannot be evaded. t is adj
lnitted that the legation guards would
be insufficient to withstand any con
certed attack.

wife, were opposed to my allowing my
name to be considered. I say to you,
as have said to all, that I have had no
very great ambition for the office and
have tried to explain to my friends
that it was not matter of life and
death if I did not get it. One thing I
desire to say, and that is to thank the
chairman of the delegation, every
member and also my Iowa friends who
have Joined in the work. For this evil
dence of the good will of the state of
Iowa as well as the personal kindness
which has been expressed. Personally
am glad Roosevelt is to be nominated.
I have never seen the moment when I
desired to run against him or the adj
ministration. regard it as no special
wisdom that should be nominated, for
what we need is personality that
will capitivate the public, and I do not
see how my nomination could arouse
interest or enthusiasm except in very
small portion of the country. Now
that is all I have to say. THANK you"
