R0OSEvELT'S JOURNEY.


Chicago, July 6.-Qnietly and un-
ostentatiously, Gov. Theodore Roose
welt, Of New York, last night alighted
from Burlington train, having COM
pleted the first stage of his journey
home from the rough riders reunion
in the far southwest. lie went at
once to the Chicago Athletic club,
where he rested until nine o'clock,
when he boarded the Lake Shore
train en- route for Cleveland. He is
expected TO confer with Senator
Hanna this morning and to reach
Canton some time in the afternoon,
whittier he is invited by special in
vitation of the president.
The governor yesterday made many
speeches and always to enthusiastic
audiences. The run was from Quincy,
on the banks of the Mississippi, to
Chicago, on Lake Michigan, through
the fertile corn belt of Illinois, the
portion of the state long known as
the old military tract" Speeches,
some long, some short, were deliv'
cred at Quincy, Camp Point, Augusta,
Plymouth, Macomb, Bushnell, Avon,
Abingdon, Galesburg, Galva, Kewanee,
Princeton, Mendoza and Aurora. To-
ward the latter end of the trip the
governors voice failed him and the
stops after that were less frequent.

TO RELIEVE VOLUNTEERS.


Washington, July 6.-The war de-
partment yesterday gave the first
sign of its intention to hasten the
execution Of the plans projected some
time ago for the relief of the yolun-
teer troops in the Philippine islands
by regulars. 1t had been the inten-
ton to begin the homeward move-
ment Of these volunteers some time
in November next in which case there
would be plenty Of time to get the
regulars out to Manila before that
date. Now, however, the war depart
ment has suddenly become alive to
the possibilities of the situation in
China and It is plainly noticeable that
the character Of the orders that un-
der cover Of dispatching these regu-
lar troops TO the Philippines they are
to 90 to China. All of them will go
forward to some convenient cable
port where they may receive orders
by cable to 60 either to China OF to
Manila, wherever they are the most
needed. 1t is a mistake to assume
that the troops are being ordered
home daily from Porto Rico and Cuba
are to go out to the coast. They are
to take the places of the United
States posts of soldiers, who, having
had a rest now will be sent to Manila
or Taku.

THE coUNTRY'S BUSINESS.


New York, July 6.-Bradstreet's to-
day says: Business is usually dull
at this season, and this year no ex-
ception to the general rule is re-
marked. A review of the past six
months, however, gives little comfort
to pessimists. Bank clearings, it is
true, are smaller by about II per cent.
than they were in the first half OF
1859, but railway earnings are about
ten per cent. larger, and business fail
ures as reported to Bradstreet's are
the fewest reported for Is years back,
with liabilities of failing traders the
smallest with one exception and that
last year, since 1892. Winter wheat
has about all been harvested in the
southwest and the yield there
has been very large. Copious rains in
the northwest, too, have apparently
worked some improvement, judging
from the more cheerful tone of adj
vices received thence this week.
Raw cotton has been rather irregu-
lar this week. Some improvement in
crop advces is to be noted, but the
main interest centers on the efforts
of the over-grown shortage to cover
on the early crop deliveries.
Wool is duh and manufacturers are
supplying only actual wants. Prices
are at the lowest point reached this
season in sympathy with the lower
opening of the July wool sale at Lon
don, where finer grades are relative
ly weakest.
Business failures in the United
States for the week number 1876, as
compared with 1855 last week and 1856
in this week year ago.

Canton, O., July 6.-News of the
Kansas City convention was given
President Mckinley in bulletins in
press dispatches. All of the mes
sages were delivered to Secretary Cor
telyeu, who read them to the presi-
dent in the library, on the porch,
or wherever he happened to be. Soon
after six clock, following the news
of the adoption of the platform, the
president and Mrs. Mckinley went
for a long drive about the city. There
was nothing about anything con-
nected with the president to indicate
that displeasure or surprise was occa-
stoned by single incident of the con-
vention.

Cleveland, o., July Gov, Roose.
velt spent eight hours in Cleveland
yesterday. He left ct 1928 in the aft
ernoon for Canton to visit President
Mckinley. Senator Hanna did not ac-
company him. Part of the governors
stay in Cleveland was taken up by a
consultation with Senator Hanna.
Gov. Roosevelt said; Il have been
comforting with the senator about
the itinerary that we shall follow out
this fall II has been determined that
ii possible | shall visit all the Rocky

THE SILVER REPUBLICANS.
Adlai q. Stevenson Ind0rsed for Vice Pres.
ident-Some Of the Points In The
Platform

Kansas City, NO., July 7.-The sill
yer republicans made good their claim
to disinterested action for the best
interests of the country by indorsing
the action of the democratic conven-
tion and naming Adlai Il. Stevenson
as its candidate for vice president.
This action was taken late last night
by the national committee, to which
the convention had referred the en-
tire matter with plenary powers.
Among the points in the platform
adopted were; Bimetallism, an in
come tax and election of United
States senator's by the people are
favored; trusts are denounced; direct
legislation and repeal of war taxes
are also demanded and opposition to
the importation of Asiatc laborers is
expressed.

Kruger still Determined.

London, July 6.-The Gordon around
Gen. Dewet appears still to be wide;
at least he has not yet been cor
nered. Dispatches from the front, ex-
cept official ones, deal with trifes or
vague possibilities. The Daily Teie-
graphs Lourenzo Marques corre-
spondent attempted, on July 4, to in
terview President Kruger at Water
valonder. Herr Kruger was there, but
he deputed State Secretary Reitz to
talk. The secretary said: "We do
not need to discuss peace. President
Kruger wishes, through me, to reneat
what he has said over and over again,
The South African republic will fight
for independence as long as 500 burgh-
ers remain alive, and even then will
continue to fight. Such is our deci-
sion"

Canton, O., July 6.-The coming of
the committee of the national con-
vention to formally notify President
Mckinley of his nomination, July 12,
is being looked forward to with a
great deal of interest. 1t will UNI
doubtly be one of the most notable
gatherings ever assembled in Canton.
Among those who talk of the coming
on that day-and the indications are
that there will be many-are the sur
vivors of the presidents regiment in
the civil war, the Twenty-third
Ohio, the headquarters Of which Is
in Cleveland.

A STATEMENT BY BRYAN.
The News Of the Action Of the Democratic
Convention Gratihes the Presi-
dental Nominee

Omaha, Neb., July GA special to
the World. Herald from Lincoln says:
The news Of the action of the Kan
sas City convention on platform gave
Mr.. Bryan the best Of satisfaction.
When asked for a statement, Mr..
Bryan gave out the following: II am
very much gratified to learn of the
adoption OF a platform which is clear
and explicit on every question. The
controversy over the silver plank was
not controversy between men who
differed in principle, but rather .
difference of opinion as to the best
method Of stating the question. II
we only had democrats to deal with,
q single reafiirmation would have
been sufficient, but we have to deal
with the republicans, as well as dem
ocrats, and some of the republicans
would misconstrue our purpose and
endeavOr to twist it into an evasion
or abandonment of the silver ques-
ton.
"0ur platform deals honestly and
fearlessly with every question before
the public and since we have nothing
to explain we can spend all our time
in assaults upon republican policies.
The industrial trusts have alarmed
many who were not with us in our
fight against the money trust III 1896.
We shall not disappoint them; we
shall not cease our efforts until every
private monopoly is destroyed.
imperialism appeals to many as the
most dangerous of the evils noy
menacing our country. 1t involves
rot only change in our ideas Of
government, but return to the mil
itarism of the old world. No matter
how many may differ as to the rela-
tive Importance of the question now
before the country, everyone must
recognize that an economic evil can
be corrected more easily than one
which attacks the foundations of gov
ernment If we adhere to the prin-
ciple that government is a thing made
by the people for themselves, the
people can in time remedy every
wrong, but il that doctrine is once
surrendered the people are powerless
to redress any grievances. The six
and one half millions who supported
the Chicago platform in 1896 stand
like a solid wall against the trusts
and against imperialism. If ten per
cent. of those who by voting the re-
publican ticket brought the present
dangers upon the country will join
with lis this nation will once more
become the champion Of liberty and
an inspiration to the oppressed"
