The Ticket Chosen by. the Phila-

BOTH UNANIMOUSLY NOMINATED
Ex-senator Quay withdrew q Reso-
tuition which Would Have Reduced
Southern Representation in Ma

tionRI Conventions.
Philadelphia, June 21.-At IA min
utes past o'clock this afternoon the
national Republican convention ad-
journed sine die after having placed in
nomination the following ticket: For
president, William Mckinley Of Ohio;
for vice president, Theodore Roosevelt
Of New York. No other names were
presented, and the nominations were
made unanimously. Mckinley receiv-
ed S26 votes, the full number, and
Roosevelt received 925, he refusing to
allow his own vote as a member OF the
New York delegation to be counted.
The scenes attending the nominations
were or the usual wildly enthusiastic
order, but the bursts of applause have
been longer continued at other nation
al conventions. The first outburst of
cheers was when ex-senator Quay with
drew his resolution proposing a change
in the rules which would have reduced
southern representation in national
conventions. The next outburst was
when Senator Lodge. the permanent
chairman of the convention, announc-
ed that nominations for president were
Ia order. Then Alabama Yielded to
Ohio, and Senator Foraker made the
first speech placing Mckinley in nomi-
nation. He was followed by Governor
Roosevelt, John w. Yerkes of Ken
lucky, George Knight of California and
Governor Mount of Indiana. The first
speech for Roosevelt was made by Col.
Lafe Young OF Iowa, Alabama having
yielded to Delivers state. Butler
Murray OF Massachusetts, and James M.
Ashton OF California followed, and the
speaking for Roosevelt was closed by
Senator Chauncey M. Depew in a
speech brimming over with witty
nings at the Democrats. There would
have been more speech making. but IL
was choked off by clamors for the vote.
The second day OF the convention
was something of a disappointment.
Tor the delegates had assembled pre-
pared for a session of enthusiasm &C
companying the unanimous renomina-
ton OF Mckinley for president. But
the party leaders decided to POSTPONE
the nomination for day, and the only
business of the convention was the
adoption OF the platform without COM
ment and the introduction of a reso-
luton by ex-senator Quay which
would have largely reduced the repre-
sentation OF southern states at ma
tlonal conventions. The real work of
the convention on the second day was
accomplished after adjournment. This
was the decision to nominate Roose-
welt, the withdrawal OF all other can
didates, and the published statement of
Chairman Hanna announcing Roose-
welt the choice OF all sections

The constitutional convention now
seems to be kind of an elephant upon
the hands OF the Democratic Party.
The Richmond Dispatch says that it
would be great mistake to restrict
Negro suffrage and adjourn. 1t de-
elares that retrenchment and reform
is needed.
Oh, yes, the Negro scare-crow was
used to accomplish another purpose
and those prejudice-loving white men
who were so deceived will soon be
brought around to see it.

r. Chaffee to take command OF the
forces In China and to proceed at once
to assume his new duties. More sig
nifcant probably than the assignment
itself was the wording OF the formal
orders to Gen. Chaffee, issued late In
the day by Acting Secretary of War
Meikleiohn, directing him "to take
command of the troops ordered to
China, and to proceed to Pekin by way
OF San Francisco and Taku, accom-
panied by his aides"
The announcement OF Gen. Chaffee's
assignment, and the orders to proceed
to Pekin, came after the state depart
ment had declined to accede to a Sec
ond proposition from six great vice.
roys OF China that foreign troops be
kept out OF China until Ii Hung Chang
reaches Pekin.
While the viceroys spoke for their
provinces, they could not speak for
Pekin, and 1t is to Pekin that the
officials most anxiously look. Minister
Conger is still silent, and the latest
advices have shown that little reliance
can be placed on the dispatches from
Shanghai saying that the ministers
and legations at Pekin were safe. For
this reason the orders to Gen. Chaffee
to proceed to Pekin took on an added
meaning.
Gen. Chaffee left the city this morn

sail on the transport Grant for Japan
and China. The only person accom-
panying him is Lieut.. Harper, one Of
his aides.

about 1t to her husband one day when
she was doing up faded ecru dress
which she intended sending to Phila-
delphia to be dyed brown.
Jasper would be sure to address
this to the crematory," she said as she
tied up the bundle.
1t was a fortnight after this that
word, came, most suddenly, that he
was dead. He who had lungs astonish-
ing expansion, a clinking good heart.
and an ostrich-like digestion, and who
seemed fitted to endure life's vicissi-
tudes to the extreme limit of mans
time. had gone off with hideous
promptitude at the attack of some
microscopical beast of prey-an un-
tanned germ from the jungle of dis
ease.
1t chanced that his brother was at
the extreme of the continent, at San

in-law, Sarah Green, she would have
hastened on the sacred errand of TAX

cording to his oft-expressed desire, but

with deep sincerity at home. Also she
awaited with something like nervous
dread the homecoming of that little
box, which would contain the ashes of
the once robust. jocund, eccentric, low
able man-an hour ago powerful
entity.
Scatter my ashes to the four winds
of heaven" he had directed. But
Sarah Green was not inclined to in
dulge him to that extent. living or
dead. 1t would have seemed impious
to her. She determined that the little
box, when it came, should be laid away
with Christian ceremonies in the Gem
etery with the dead Greens.
In course OF time " came-the eX-
pected box, and rested over night on
a table strewn with lilies of the valley.
The next morning it was taken on a
black -draped cushion to the cemetery.
and in the presence of many fearful
friends dropped into the receptive and
concealing earth. Then with a sense
of duty well performed. Sarah Green
returned to her ordinary life-a life
tinged with a distinct sorrow because
of good friend gone.
