A Cheap Excursion Rate.

Chicago. Oct. 11.-Executive officers to-
day labored with the problem presented
by the cheap excursion rate put in effect
by the Great Northern and Northern Pa
zinc, and We're compelled to give them up.
The Northern Pacific announced its rates
from St Paul and asked the Chicago-St
Paul lines to place them on a parity with
the Great Northern. Under present con-
ditions this will undoubtedly have TO be
done.

Mr.. Platt may or may not do is or no
interest to the people at large. The inn
portant fact is that the party and tho
people wanted Governor Roosevelt on
the ticket and will support him in No
vember. The political superstition that
man who becomes vice president is
buried need give nobody any concern.
Mr. Roosevelt is not the sort of man to
be buried in the vice presidency or any
where else. He is too young and vigor-
ous-too good a fighter-and has too
many resources to be successfully
showed into obscurity by any scheme
or by any set of circumstances. He
will make model vice president and
be stronger and more popular than ever
four years hence.
1t was case of the office seeking the
man. From the first it was apparent
that the delegates We're bent upon
nominating Roosevelt. All the other
candidates were strong and acceptable
men, but he was the choice. His name
alone stirred enthusiasm among all the
delegates from the East and West
alike. Instead of seeking the nomina-
ton, he rather sought to avoid 1t until
it became apparent that the whole par
ty wanted him. He declared himself
ready to act Mt the behest of the par
ty, but not at the behest of the indiyid-
ual." When it became certain that
tba whole convention wanted him be
did what a patriotic and loyal Repub-
lican in such circumstances should do
he consented, saying: II can't help
myself; the voice of the party must be
obeyed" He was named by the whole
Republican party. and such a demand
could not be ignored.
The absolutely unanimous vote of his
fellow delegates and the wild outburst
of enthusiasm that greeted his nomin-
alton were typical of the sentiments OF
the whole nation toward him. 1t is
simple statement of fact that Theodore
Roosevelt is the most popular man in
American politics after President Nc
Kinley. The President himself is thor
oughly pleased with the choice made.
Rooseyelt's nomination will meet with
enthusiastic approval from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, to say nothing of the
sentiments of the brave men in Cuba,
Porto Rico, and the Philippines who
would follow him to death If he sal"
the word.-Chicago Tribune.

M'kINLEY AND ROOSEVELT.

fhere has been no doubt for the past
year as to whom the great majority of
the rank and file of the Republican
party wanted on the ticket for vice
president. Only his own expressed
wish kept Roosevelt from being made
the nominee, as Mckinley was, long
before the delegates to the convention
We're chosen. Finally, notwithstand-
ing his expressed wish, the overwhelm-
ing desire of the people, voiced by del
egates especially from the western
states, prevailed, and the nomination
was made.
There was universal recognition of
the fact that the ticket is the strongest
that the Republican could have named.
The sober, conservative judgment of
the people recognizes that Mckinley
has been on the whole one of the best
Presidents we ever had; and the young
and ardent and energetic manhood of
America is enthusiastic over the sturdy
New Yorker who is really as western
in spirit as any plainsman or noun
taineer-who, although inheriting for
tune that would have made it easy for
him to devote his days TO golf and his
nights to his club, has lived the siren
uous life-has been author, cowboy,
hunter, historian, soldier, politician,
statesman, in turn or all at once, and
whose frankness, courage, good sense,
and manliness, have won the respect
at least of every man and woman in
America.
The ticket is especially strong in that
the two men on it both stand on "A rec
ord of things done. There hardly need
ed to be platform aside from the can
didates. As was well said long ago,
the briefest expression of the Repub-
lican achievement of the past forty
years may be put in two words-pros-
perity and expansion. McKinley's
name is indissolubly connected with
the first, ever since he was heralded,
more than four years ago as its ad-
vance agent; and Roosevelt stands for
expansion by virtue of what he has
done, and what he has written, and
what he is. The Republican party is
fortunate in its candidates; for it does
not need TO promise, it does not need TO
ask its supporters to exercise much
faith: it can point to its candidates and
its record, and say: There is what
we have done. and these are the kind
of men who have done II; If you want
some more of the same, vote with us"

M'kINLEY, ROOSEVELT. VIC
TORY.

Yesterday the Republican party
wrote a chapter of splendid history. 1t
gave to the country platform on
which every public spirited citizen will
be glad to stand. 1t nominated tick
ct which will command the enthusias-
tic support of every patriotic Ameri-
can. TIE scenes attending the pre-
sentation of the ticket were uneNam-
pied in the history of parties. For the
first time since national delegate con-
ventions were invented both members
of n presidential ticket were selected
blage. There have been cases, al
though they occurred seldom, when
candidates for President were nom
mated without opposition. In still
fewer instances nominees for vice pres
ident were nominated without strug-
gle. The two cases never occurred in
the same convention, however, until
yesterday. In Philadelphia, on June
21. 1900, for the first time in the annals
of national party assemblages, the can
didates for President and vice presl-
dent were selected by the unanimous
vote of all the representatives of the
party.
Mckinley and Roosevelt. This is the
ticket which the S,OO0,O00 Republican
voters of the United States have want
ed, but which they ut one time feared
they would not get. They feared they
would not get 1t because they doubted
that Roosevelt could be induced to ac-
cept the candidacy. 1t was his desire,
frequently and emphatically express
ed, that he should be the party's nomi-
nee for governor again. The masses
of the party all over the country de-
manded his nomination. Just one man
of the millions of voters whose ballots
next November will sweep Mckinley
and Roosevelt into office stood in the
way of Roosevelt's nomination. This
man was Roosevelt himself. Happily
his opposition was overcome at the
critical moment. This is another in
stance in which personal preference
has given way to the popular will when
this will has been expressed in an en-
phatic way through the peoples regu-
larly constituted instrumentalities.-

ANXIOUS ABOUT MINISTER'S.
Reported That the Legation Buildings at
Pekin Have Been Burned.

Pekin Have Been Burned.
London, June 2S.-Chinese captured
by Admiral Seymour'e column say that
the foreign legations in Pekin were
burned. The foreign diplomatic corps
was not with Admiral Seymour's col
umn.
Seymour's men caught several
Chinese who said the legations at Pek-
in had been burned and the ministers
killed. Others said that the ministers
had been imprisoned.
The fate of the members of the lega-
tions is still n mystery. If they are
alive and unharmed at Pekin the
Chinese government deserves some
credit, Shanghai correspondents think,
for restraining the fanatical mob.
Col. Dorrward, British commanded
the column that relieved Admiral Sey-
mour. American marines participated
in the achievement.
The admiral was found entrenched
and surrounded by immense masses of
Chinese, who We're driven off by the
relieving column after a brisk fight.
His men had made brilliant resist
ance, never failing in courage for fif-
teen days of continued fighting. Dur
ing ten days the men were on quarter
rations. They started with provisions
for ten days and they could have held
out day or two longer.
The column was n few miles beyond
Lofa. Deeming it hopeless to attempt
to break through the hordes, Admiral
Seymour essayed n night retreat to-
ward Tien Tsin, but he came into col
lision with a strong force of Chinese
arriving from the northwest and could
neither advance nor retreat There
was nothing to do but to intrench and
stand siege. He vainly attempted hello
graphic communication.
Four thousand Russians left Ifen
Tsin four days after Admiral Seymour,
but they never got in touch with him.
Che Foo, June % via Shanghai,
noon.)-Admiral Seymour's expedition
has been relieved, having failed to con-
meet with Pekin. There is no news
from Pekin. Russian Colonel Schtelle,
commanding the combined forces of
10000 men, is supposed to be proceed
ing TO Pekin. Admiral Seymour's ex-
pedition is returning to Tien Tsin. His
force has suffered greatly.
1t is estimated that from 10000 to
10000 Chinese troops are now before
Pekin. Boxers from all sections are
swarming there.

WOOLLEY FOR PRESIDENT.
Prohibltionists Name Him and Henry b.
Metcalf OF Rhode Island.

Chicago, June 2S.-The Prohibition
national convention adjourned sine die
to-day after having placed in nomina-
ton for president John G.. Woolley of
Illinois, and for vice president Henry
b. Metcalf of Rhode Island. The nom
nations in each instance We're made on
the first ballot. Only two candidates
for the presidential nomination were
balloted for-Mr. Woolley and Rev. ST.
las G. Swallow of Pennsylvania. Hale
Johnson of Illinois Withdrawing his
name Mt the last moment and throwing
his strength to Mr.. Woolley.
This undoubtedly had great effect
on the result, as the convention earlier
in the day had been nearly stampeded
for Swallow by an eloquent speech by
Homer l. Castle, and had the friends
of the Pennsylvania clergymen forced
the ballot at that time the result might
have been different.
For vice president three candidates
were balloted for-H. b. Metcalf,
Thomas II. Caskardon of West Virgin
in and Rev. Il. l.. Eaton of Iowa-Mr.
Metcalf receiving an overwhelming
majority of the votes cast.
Immediately after the announcement
of the result of the ballot for the pres
idential nomination, DIR. Swallow was
proposed as the vice presidential nom
inee. The convention went wild over
the suggestion. but DR.. Swallow after
hurried conference with the Pennsyl-
vania delegation, refused the nomina
ton.
Chairman Stewart of the national
committee called for contributions for
the campaign and over $1,000 was re-
allied in few minutes.
The attendance to-day was much
larger than yesterday, and the number
of delegates had been increased con
siderably.

DEMOCRATS DoDoiNo 10 ro1.

The Democrats of Missouri, Kentuc-
ky, Georgia, California and Vermont
held their state conventions on Thurs
day, and not one of them had word
to say in favor of the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 to 1.
They all vaguely indorsed the Chica-
90 platform, but that means little or
nothing. -Four years ago and two
years ago the Democratic conventions
of those states declared unequivocal-
ly for the complete restoration of sill
yer to its old legal status, through the
Independent action of our government,
without awaiting the consent or coop
Grafton of any other nation, but now
the burning issue of the last presiden-
tial campaign is passed by without
even the merest mention in their plat
forms.

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The Republican platform of 1900 is
Il work of mechanics rather than of
art.
Its making was a problem of con-
struction. rather than an exercise for
the Imagination.
Its trainers found the material ready
TO their hands, and to "A degree unusual
in such matters the material itself was
of far greater Importance than the
manner of its arrangement or the skill
with which it might be decorated.
The empty platitudes of the ordinary
platform, the We condemns" the
1--WE deplore-s" and the I'VE point
with pride-s" have no place in this
plain record of well known facts and
clear repetition of principles whose
wisdom and sufliciency have been tri-
umphantly demonstrated beyond rea-
sonable doubt by the course of events.
The Republican platform is not n
matter of argument nor of theory. 1t
it a plain statement of facts, facts
known to all the world, facts substan-
tiated by the official government rec
ords of this nation and of other ma
tions. facts which are illustrated in the
individual experiences of millions of
Americans throughout the country,
facts which form alike the triumphant
proof of party success and the indis-
putable evidence of the party ability
for the future.
This then is the platform of the Re
publican party:
4 plain and undeniable statement of
past events constituting an unparallel-
ed record of party success and a tri-
umphant demonstration of the wis
dom of party principles;
A sincere, straightforward and un-
reserved promise of the continuance of
the present policy in national affairs,
and patient persistence in the settle
ment of pending difficulties;
The pledge of the treatment of any
new problems in the same spirit of
common-sense Americanism and i'm
partial consideration for the rights and
interests of all classes and sections
that has distinguished the party in
the past.
Upon such a platform the Republi-
can party with its triumphant record
of past successes invites the co-opera-
ton of all Republicans without regard
20 past differences and also of all Amer
leans who believe in the principle of
letting well enough alone, or who have
seen the folly of destroying the foun-
dations of our prosperity in an effort
to correct small or imaginary imper-
fections and evils.-Colorado Springs
Gazette.

The filtration of the water supply of
cities by means of sand fllter-beds. or
mechanical contrivances, has rapidly
advanced in this country during the
past ten years; but it is far more gen.
eral in Great Britain than here. Mr..
Allen Hazen. an authority on sanitary
engineering. AYERS that the fact is
fully established that the death rate
from typhoid fever is materially low
cred by the filtration of the water sup
ply. In Great Britain, cities contain
ing an aggregate population Of more
than 100000 people use sand-fil-
tered water supply, and the result, 1t
is claimed, is shown in London's free
dom from typhoid. In this country
only one-tenth of the towns and cities
have filtered water.

Probably the most novel regiment
ever raised is that which has been
recently formed at Wellington, New
Zealand. The ladies of Wellington
have formed themselves into corps
which has been given the appropriate
title of New Zealand Amazons. They
are girls of fine physique, being much
above the average in height. The regi-
Guent is drilled according to military
schedule, and their maneuvers have
attracted considerable attention in the
whole of the colony.

Boat Races Mt New London.

New London, Conn, June 2S.-Yale
won the eight-oared Varsity shell race
today, beating Harvard by about six
lengths. With the four-oar and fresh
men races won, and handsomely won,
too, and with n lead, when nearing tht
finish in the big Varsity event, defeal
came to Harvard in n sudden and un.
expected manner. Harding, the stroke,
who had replaced the disabled Captain
Higginson, collapsed before the thres
and one-half mile flag was reached and
Harvard finished with seven oars, so
that Yale was hollow victor.
The four-oar race, as was expected,
proved rather an easy victory for Har-
ward. The crimson substitutes took the
lead at the snap of the pistol and had
no difficulty in keeping it.
