able difficulty on agreeing upon the
declaration Of principles. All members
practically agree upon the sentiment

Guilty is in finding common ground
Of expression.
The agreed-upon financial plank de-
clares uDalterably for the goId standard
With the addition Of the following
clause:
"We are unalterabIy opposed to the
free coinage Of silver unless by agree
ment With the commercial nations Of

This latter clause caused much de-

motion Of Industrial enterprises. we
are opposed 10 all combinations intend

PHILADELPHIA. June i9.-chair'
man Hanna, with rabbits foot sus-
pended from miniature Of Mckinley in
the lapel Of his coat. surveyed an
Imposing spectacle when he called the
twelfth republican national convention
10 order In the exposition building at
1886 today. The valleys below him
were crowded with 1900 delegates and
alternates and stretching away to the
four corners OF the immense hall were
endless ylslos Of people rising in ter
raced seats TO the walls. He looked In
to the faces OF fully 1900 men and
women. Opposite, in the broad gal
lery. were massed a hundred must
clans. their leader mere plgmy in
the distance.
Il was no, notous convention.
There were no wild bursts OF enthus-
iasm. frenzied partisans OF rival can
didates, no entrance OF delegations with
banners to set multitudes TO cheering.
no sIirmishing and clashing OF candI-
date managers over the rules Of pro-
cedure and eon,esuns delegations.
The chleftaln in the coming battle had
already been selected by the unanimous
voice OF the republicans OF the coun-
try. The only question remaining for
the convention 20 decide was the vice
presidency and 1t was not sufficient
bone OF contention to produce the tu-
multuous scene which usually attends
the assembly Of national conven.
ton.
The convention today was digniaed
gathering Of representatives OF the
republican party to ratify formally the
wishes OF millions Of people whose au-
thority they held, II was very undem-
onstratiye at first. The entrance OF
Roosevelt, into the convention was dis
tinctly the dramatic feature Of the ses-
sion. Then tn ewheels began to move,
but the convention. under the spell of
his presence. could not take It's eyes off
OF him, on him all interest seemed to
center. During every pause in the pro-
ceedlngs he was surrounded by dele
gates and newspaper men who were
anxious to set word, To all he gave
the same answer, He was not can
dldate. He did not want the nomina-
ton. Those who wanted him nomlnat-
ed left him saying he would accept
and that they would nominate him
whether he liked It or not. Those who
did not want him nominated hastened
to spread the report that he could
not be moved into accepting.

tested whenfl for the first time. he men,

Persistent rumors are afloat that Nc
Kinley has decided to call an extra ses-

If war exists In China growing out
of the destruction Of the United States

to send more troops to China Owing
to conditions in the Philippines no
more troops can be withdrawn safely.
Therefore it will require authority from
congress to furnish troops.
The rumors Of an extra session can
not be traced to reliable source at
this hour, and inquiry at the White
House throws no light on the subject.
