Negroes Wants Delegates of the Regular
Organization Recognized.
an the Associated Press.l


Philadelphia. June 1S-A meeting of
colored men who are here as delegates
or lookers-on was held today for the pur-
pose of discussing the action taken by
the National committee in refusing to
place on the temporary roll delegates
newspaper men this afternoon he. made
the following statement, reading it from
a couple of sheets of manuscript:
"In view of the revival of talk of my
self as a Vice Presidential candidate /
have this to say:
1T is impossible too deeply to express
how touched l am by the attitude of
those delegates who have wished me 10
take this nomination. Moreover it is
not necessary to say how thoroughly /
understand the high honor and dignity of
the Office, an office so high and so hon
orahle that it is well worthy the ambi-
ton of any man in TIE United States
But while ! appreciate all this to the full,
ncverthelclj l feel most deeply that
the field of my best usefulness to the pub
lie and to the party is in New York State,
and if the party should sec fit to re-
nominate me for Governor | can, in that
position help the national ticket as in
no ether way. l very earnestly ask that
every friend of mine in the convention
respect my wish and my judgment in this
matter"
The document was in his own hand
writing and in lead pencil copy and he
read it with the same complacence that he
would have given platform speech. The
scene bordered on the dramatic.
Sitting near him as he spoke were Con-
gressmen Littauer and Sherman, of New
York, and Professor jerks, of Columbia
College. who have all along urged the
Governor not to accept. Just behind
the row of newspaper men stood Frank
Platt, Lemuel 2. Quigg and B. B. O'Dell,
of the New York organization. AS the
Governor read and waited for the news
paper men to write down the statement,
he frequently glanced in the direction
OF the group of politicians When he
finished he said
Gentlemen. that is ALL l have nothing
more to say"
Mr.. Littauer Said he thought the state
ment timely and believed that it would
give the delegates who were friendly to
Governor Roosevelt an idea of the Sit
uation And / don't mean by that he
said rather aggressively, 1.-The Pernsyl-
vania delegation or those who for Interior
motives are pressing the Governors nom
nation
Then Mr.. Qugg and Frank Platt stimuli
taneously declared that they believed the
statement unwise and they left the room
refusing to talk to the waiting neWSpa-
per men The statement acted as a
cold water douche on those members OF
the New York delegation who had planned
to nominate SCmc other candidate for
Governor than Mr.. Roosevelt. However,
the statement was received by many of
the delegations as mere reiteration of
Roosevelts original declaration of lack
of desire for the nomination. Several

VIRGINIA is FOR ROOSEVELT FIRST.
After Him 1t Will Be Bliss or Dolliver, it is
Said
(By the Associated Press.)


Philadelphia, June 1S.-The Virginia
delegation arrived early this morning
and like nearly all other delegations de-
clared itself for Roosevelt if he could
be induced to make the race. After Roose-
welt they were inclined to favor Dolliver,
but said that they would prefer him to
any man whom the New York delegation
might agree upon. Park Agnew, delegate
at large from the State said:
1--WE do not think there will be any
necessity of considering any second per-
son if Roosevelt will consent to run. We
think he is the best man for the position
if he will accept. After Roosevelt we
like Bliss very well, but Dolliver is
good man, and we think very well of his
chances The one trouble to our mind
regarding Dolliver is that he is not from
a State where he can add much strength
to the ticket
Virginia organized during the day. AS
to the Vice Presidency, Delegate Morgan
Treat, United States Marshal, said:
Eve will give Senator Scott compli
mentary vote if his name is presented.
There is no concerted action after that.
I am for Dolliver. Dolliver has friends
among us, but there is no stampede for
him.
While the West Virginia delegation was
meeting today Mr.. Dolliver called and
was cordially received He is a native
of West Virginia and has many friends on
the delegation. He was assured of the
friendly sentiments entertained for him,
for while the State will first compliment
one of it's Senators with a vote it will
afterward give him support The send-
ment is no solid however, as considera-
BILE Roosevelt feeling has developed.
Senator Scott wants Mr. Elkins name
presented and the matter will be settled
on Mr.. ElkiDs' arrival later.

TAYLOR AND BRADLEY SHOW UP.
Want to Have Bradley's Name Considered for
the Vice-Presidency.
(By the Associated Press.)


Philadelphia, June 1S.--Governor Tay
lor and Ex-Governor Bradley are the two
central figures of the Kentucky delega
ton, which has quarters at the Continen-
tai The delegation is augmented by the
Mckinley Club of Louisville with big
band which keeps things lively. Dele
gate w. P. Ross summed up the feeling
thus:
Kentucky wants to compliment Cover
nor Bradley by having his name consid-
cred for the vice presidency. After that
the sentiment seems strongest for Roose-
welt if he will accept. with no definite
choice among the other candidates"
Governor Taylor is accompanied by his
wife, and the two keep to their rooms
much of the time. Members of the party
say the Kentucky authorities who hold
a warrant for Mr.. Taylor are following
his movements from State to State, but
no fear is expressed that the matter will
be brought up while he is here. The
Governor himself told his friends he bad
not been annoyed on the trip here and did
not expect to have any trouble When
the matter was referred to at the Ken
lucky headquarters, it evoked heated de-
nunciation of the conspiracy" against
Taylor and expressions of sturdy loyalty
to him.

States. William Copeland, ex-member

man and among the % or 80 present, were
j. A. Brown and w. II. Clifford S. II.
Thomas, of Ohio; Charles Anderson, of
New York; Bruce Boyle, of New York,
and Mr.. Marshall, of Illinois, Several
speeches were made and the sentiment
was in favor of sustaining the position
of National Chairman Hanna and Secre-
tary Dick regarding the matter, and it
was resolved to bring to bear all the
pressure possible upon the Committee
on Credentials to induce them to re-
verse the action of the committee and to
recognize the delegates of the so-called
regular organization" 1t was asserted
that if this was not done, that if the

representation, the effect among colored
voters, not only in the South, but in the
North would be manifest in the next

THE FAILURE TO REACH PEKIN
Will Bring Accessions to the Boxer Ranks.
Anxiety for Europeans.
(By the Associated Press.)

London June 1S.-(5:45 p. m.)-The Ad
miralty Office has received the follow
ing official dispatch from Che Foo under
today's date:
THE Japanese man of-war 'Teyahasi'
CD has Just arrived from Taku. She
reports that the commanderin-c chief ard
troops are back at Tien Tsin."
Tie dispatch of the Associated Press
from Admiral Kempff, dated Washington,
containing the American Admiral's re-
port of the engagement at Taku was the
first news Lord Salisbury received of the
capture of the Taku forts. The British
Government was aware that an engage
ment was proceeding, but it was iGnor-
ant of the result and the greatest salts
faction is evineed.
The officials of the Foreign Office say
no word has been received from the Brit
ish Minister at Pekn, Sir Claud Mac
Donald, since June 18th, and the Cow
eminent is ignorant as to whether the
legations at the Chinese capital have been
captured or not.
Lord Salisbury was questioned in the
House of Lords today, on the Chinese
situation and said he regretted he was
unable to enlighten the House on the
state of affairs in China. Admiral Sey
mour, he continued, had returned to
Tien but the Government did not know
exactly why nor what Admiral Seymour's
intentions were.
The failure OF the International forces
to reach Pek.n has greatly intensified the
anxiety here as to the fate Of the Eu
ropans huddled together in the lega-
tions at the Chinese capital, and it was
feared, also, that the check to Admiral
Seymour's forces. necessitating their re-
turn to Tien Tsin, will lead to large ac
cessions TO the ranks Of the Boxers and
make their suppression still more diff
cult.
In the House of Commons today Mr.
Brodrick. the Parliamentary Secretary
of the Foreign Office amplifed the Ad-
miralty's news from Che Foo. He said
the Japanese warships reported that the
Chinese forts opened fire on the gunboats
at the mouth of the river yesterday at
II: 80 a. m, that the ships then engaged
tho forts, and that the engagement was
proceeding until the Japanese ships left
at $3.50 a. m. yesterday.

THEY THREATEN ROOSEVELT,
New York Delegates Say It's the Vice-Presi-
dency or Private Life.
AN the Associated Press

(By the Associated Press.)
Philadelphia, June 1S.-The meeting Of
the New York delegation was sort Of
magnet to the delegates from other
States and the corridors in front of the
committee rooms were so crowded that
the police had to be called upon to make
aspassageway for the New Workers The
aim of the crowd seemed to be to get
sight of Governor oOsevelt, for when he
came through the corridor there was a
burst of applause. A policeman assisted
him through and shortly after Senator
Depew got a similar ovation.
Senator Plat was selected amidst APP
plause to be the permanent chairman Of
the delegation.
Governor Roosevelt sat next to Senator
Platt and chatted pleasantly. Senator
Platt declined to talk on the ultimatum
issued by Governor Roosevelt and the
delegates about him seemed also ayerse
to discussing it.
Senator PIatt went directly to his room
after the meeting and a number of the
New York delegates followed him. There
were enough remarks dropped to make
it evident that the leaders of the New
York delegation were convinced that Gov
ernor Roosevelt's statement had disposed
of his candidacy.
To Mr.. Plat this question was pro-
posed:
"Can Mr.. Roosevelt be defeated for the
nomination." to which he replied:
Eyes, l think So"
More decidedly in keeping with this
view of the matter were the threats OF
some of the less guarded of the delegation
that eff Roosevelt does not accept the
vice president he will not be nominated
for Governor and will be retired to pri-
vate life"
In Governor Roosevelt's room the at
mosphere of doubt had somewhat cleared
away. Governor Roosevelt himself said:
Il believe that the delegations that
are really friendly to me will not vote
for me but will respect my wishes"
