the evidences so abound Of the rich
blessings the Republican party mas
brought to the AmHkcan people. Here
at the birthplace Of the nation. where
our own Declaration OF Independence
was adopted and our constitution form
ed, where Washington and Jefferson
and Hancock ana John Adams and their
illustrious ssoclatcs wrote their immOr-
tai work. here, where center so many
historic memories that stir the blood
and flush the cheek. and excite the SEN
tlments OF human liberty and patriot
ism, Is indeed n most fitting place for
the party Of Lincoln and Grant and
Garfield and Blaine.
On Trial Before the World.
THE party of union and liberty for
all men formally dedicate themselves to
this great duty. We are now in the
midst of It's discharge. We could not
turn back II we would, and we would
not II we could We ure on trial before
the world, and must trlumphantly meet
our responsibilities or ANONYMOUSLY
fail In the presence Of mankind. These
responsibilities speak to this convention
here and now, and command US that we
choose TO be our candidate and the next
President-which is one and the same
thlng--the best fitted man for the dis
charge of this great duty to oil the re-
public.
ION that point there is no difference
OF opinion. No man in all the nation Is
so well qualified for this trust as the
great leader under whom the work has
been so far conducted. He has the
head. he has the heart, he has the sps-
'cipl knowledge and the special expert
cnce that qualify him beyond all 9th
eFs. And, Mr. Chairman, he has the
Gtaiuless Ituliutlon and character and
has led the bIameless life that endear
him 10 his countrymen and give to him
the confidence. the respect, the admir- 4
ton, the love and the affection Of the
whole American people. He is an ideal
man, representing the highest type OF
American citizenship, an ideal candi-
date and an ideal President. With our
banner in his hands 1t will be carried
to triumphant victory In November
next.
On Behalf Of His Loved State.
In the name of all these consldera-
tons not alone on behalf of his be-
loved state Of Ohio. but on behalf Of
every other state and territory here
represented. and in the name OF all Re-
puDlicIlS everywhere lHTOuBHOuS wi

candidate for the presidency. William

Senator Foraker spoke with a vigor,

achievements OF the Mckinley admin

Whom he referred to the passage OF the
financial legislation during the last ses-
sion of Congress upon the recommends

chcered the sentiment enthusiastically.

WHOLESALE
SLAUGHTER
AT PEKIN.
Soldiers and Boxers Said to be Mas
sacreing Each other-claim That
Emperor Has Been Killed.
EMPIRES COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Story Afioat That Admiral Seymour
is Dead = Ii Hung Chang Can
celled his Passage to Capital.

LONDON, June q, 2:l4 p. m.-There
is little additional news from the Far
East and what is coming merely re-
fleets the prevailing state Of uncertain
ty and the lack of information of de-
finite and trustworthy kind. The most
startling item is the rumored death Of
Vice Admiral Seymour, but no Gre
dence whatever is attached to the re-
port here.
The statement that Ii Hung Chang
has cancelled his passage to PelSin is in
teresting. How he manages to disobey
the dowager empress urgent command
Is not clear, but (evldently) fear Of a
revolution at Canton in the event of his
departure induced the consuls to bring
strong pressure to bear. Special dis
matches from Shanghai continue to re-
count wholesale slaughter at Pekin.
Engaged in Mutual Slaughter
The soldiers and boxers are said to
be massacreIng each other and the Chi
nese and Manchus are also reported to
be engaged in mutual slaughter. Prince
Tuan is alleged to have sacked and
burned the palace. The emperor is re-
ported to have been killed, the dowager
empress is represented as missing and
in some quarters it is believed she has
committed suicide. All this purports to
have been contained in a letter from
Pekin received by high official China
man at Shanghai. where it is hoped the
desperate struggle between the leaders
of the mobs allegedly for possession Of
the vast treasures of the dowager en-
press, will continue and prevent the
sects combining against the Europeans.

very serious change OF the political
status of the country at least in its
relations with the outer world. The
state department is much gratihed

United States to limit the operations of
the foreign armies and navies in China

No State of War Existing.
The Chinese minister continues his
confident declaration that there is no
state of war existing. The state depart
ment holds to the same view, but does
not think the Chinese government has
been a party to any overt acts so far
committed against the foreign interests
in China. Therefore 1t has not only
been careful to refrain from any act
that might prevent peaceful and hon
orable settlement with the Chinese
government of the issues raised by the
boxer trouble, II It shall appear con-
cIgsively that that government was
blameless in the matter. but 1t has also
used It's moral force with other powers
to the same end. The prompt and vol
untnry assurance given by Russia yes
terday that her troops were to be lin
tied in their activity strictly to the sue
cor Of Russian and other foreign sub
jects in China, may be regarded as a di-
rect outcome OF the course adopted by
the state department at the beginning
Of the trouble.
