never FLASHED with more vigor thai
they do here tonight. Amid thousand.
of warriors there is but one choice fol
a leader. His face is engraved upoI

flowers and in ivy on the walls; i
adorns the windows of shops and look.
down upon swarming crowds from ev,
cry conspicuous place. Mckinley agair
will lead the gray boards and youns
men in the November battle. Banners
are dipped before his portrait and the
mention of his name arouses enthusi,
asm. When Senator Foraker concludes
his p%eroration IN the convention on
Wednesday a storm, wild and tempest
uous, will shake the great hall.
But that outbreak of enthusiasm will
be only a forerunner of the pandomo-
mum that will reign if Roosevelt
should be named to stand beside him
in the coming battle. The stampede in
his favor, started yesterday, threw the
town into a delirium. 1t swept through
the delegations who had come with
ravorite SON to present, like a prairie
fire. Like an immense tidal wave it
bore down on everything before 1t. The
booms fSr candidates of other men col
lapsed like shells when It struck them.
The secret was not hard to find. Platt
and Quay, whose object was to humil-
late Hanna, claim the victory. They
might congratulate themselves hat it
was their work. But they welded no
magician's wand. The secret lay down
in the hearts of the republicans of the
country. Roosevelt's name, unlike that
of other candidates, instantly struck a
responsive chord I'M the popular breast.
1t captured the heart of the convention.
1t mattered nothing to the rank and
file hat Hanna and Allison and Gros-
venor and Thurston and others felt
chagrined and strained every nerve to
stamp out the fire. 1t mattered not
that even Roosevelt and his friends
poured water upon it. Their efforts
were futile as hand grenades against
a conflagration. People would hear Of
no one else. They wore his picture;
they shouted his name; they consid-
cred him today as already nominated.
The town was Roosevelt mad.
The governor himself is sincerely
anxious to avoid a nomination. Some
of the friends of other candidates, en-
FILTERED by the havoc his sudden ac-
ceptance created with their favorites'
chances, were heard to intimate that he
had been flirting with the situation
from the first. He appealed to them to
| stem the tide, and they did what they
could, reinforced at every point by
Hanna and his ~lieutenants. General
Greene, in his behalf, wen called upon
the delegations and in his name asked
| them not to support him. But the ten
per of the convention is undeniable.
Human nature has its limits, so al

was regarded as a virtual surrender
to the will of the convention.
Although the work of the convention
could be comprised within two days

nights will be filled in with smokers
entertainments at the clubs and oper

Immediately after the exercises, the

and white carnations, presented a
beautiful appearance. After all the
good things had been enjoyed, Mr.
Paulson of the senior class, the toast
master, announced the first speaker Of
the evening, Miss Mary Gates, who re-
sponded to the toast, Out of School
Life Into Life's School" Miss Gates
gave a very pretty description of schooI
and university life and compared these
with the broader life out in the world
She advised the students to make the
most of their opportunities, as witt
graduation life really begins.
Miss Dorthelle Allen described, in
a poem, the merits of the Juniors
Her toast was enjoyed by all, but es-

cided upon after the Attorney General had
decided that such course was lawful.

officers in whose favor extra allowances
were made were performing civil fuuc-
lions Of such a character that they we:e
obliged TO incur expenses that they could

doing a public service. 1T was held by
the Department and the Cabinet that they
should receive compensation from TIE
revenues OF the island The fact viii lie

paid came out OF the funds OF The United
States but was paid wholly from the Gu
ban revenues. Emphasis viii be laid on
the small amount thus paid, the total be-
ing $4,000.

The House Committee on Labor yester-
dav concluded its consideration Of the bill
generally known as the eight hour law
and at the committees next meeting il
Will be in order to moys that il be report
ed TO the House. The committee struck
out the first and third sections because
they were practically a repetition Of the
law Of August /, 1892. When the bill was
originally drawn. explained Chairman
Gardner Yesterday. that act had never
been enforced, nor, so far as the commit
Tee knew. had any effort been made to en-
force it, Since then, however. IN the Bled-
soc case. there was conviction under IL
in the Federal court for the northern dis
trict Of California and its consututionality
affirmed. So the committee believed il
safer to abide by the law than at
tempt to interfere with it in any way and
ieopardize its validity. Mr. Gardner. who
had written the bill. with the approval Of
the Federation Of Labor, struck out the
sections relating 10 that law and the com
mittee sustained him.

follows;
