The winner of the Oaks was John E. Maddens Etta, held in the books at to l.

New York, May 19.-A cold drizzling rain and a track ankle deep in mud made the conditions for the running of the $20,0O0 Ma tional Stallion stakes most unfavorable at Morris Park today. Bonnibert the proper ty of c. Feichmanns Sons, won the rich stake, in which nine high class youngsters faced the starter. They were sent off on the first break to good start, with Tela- mon first. As they reached the half Bon- hilbert rushed to the front. All through the last sixteenth it was a stirring struggle, but as they neared the wire Bonnibert drew further away and won by length and a half Bellario finished second in a hard drive head before Golden Age.
 As the horses came back to the stand to allow the jockeys to weigh in, it was found that Bellario had broken down. McCue, his jockey says that he seemed to slip as they came out of the dip and his off fore ankle was badly wrenched. His record un- der the circumstances showed remarkable garheness.

Governor Theodore Roosevelt.

The career of the Hon Theodore
Roosevelt has been one OF meteoric ac-
complishment and yet il has been one
Of signal usefulness and great honor
one which has contributed most appre-
ciably to the prosperity OF the nation,
and which conserves the public good.
He has won for himself a commanding
position in the public world, and high
honors as a man among men.
Theodore Roosevelt is now governor
OF the State OF New York. but he will
always live in the admiring hearts OF his
fellow men as the organizer and com
mander OF the First United States vol
unteer cavalry, but more popularity
known as "Roosevelt's Rough Riders.
Theodore Roosevelt won for himself
the grand distinction of being one OF
the most intrepid heroes of the
Hispano-American war for his unex-
celled bravery at the storming OF San
Juan hill
He was born in New York city on
October 27, 1883, and comes from fam
lily that for generations has been noted
for It's wealth, social position, high in
telligencc, disinterested public spirit,
general usefulness and philanthropy.
With such a successful, distinguished
and worthy ancestry it is not to be
wondered at that Gov Roosevelt has
accomplished so much and risen to such
lofty heights in national prominence.

cession have nearly all been burned and
the American consulate has been razed
to the ground. The Russians are occu-
pying the railroad station, but are hard
pressed. Reniorccments are urgently

A dispatch from Vienna says: "Li

cations in Europe, directing them to in
form the governments to which they are
accredited that he is called to Pekin by

United States Ambassador Choate, in
his long conference with Lord Salisbury,
Saturday, is understood to have found
that the governments OF the United
States and Great Britain are generally
in agreement as to their views regarding
the Chinese situation; and the two gov
ernments will probably be found follow
ing the same broad lines of policy in the
far east. Mr.. Choate communicated
with Washington aNer the interview.
A Chefu dispatch, dated Sunday. says
"The attack on the Tien Tsin relief force
was made by 10000 Chinese, using ma
chine guns and modern field pieces. The
allies were wise in retreating."
AT Canton the Boxers are posting in

Alabama for that action. Alabama has
so yielded, however, by reason OF the
fact it gives Ohio a superfluous duty to
perform. Our candidate for President
has been already nominated. He was
nominated by the distinguished senator
from Colorado when he took the tem-
porary chair of this convention. He
was nominated again by the distinguish
ed senator from Massachusetts, when he
became permanent chairman here, and
he was nominated for the third time,
when the distinguished senator from In
diana read the platform of his party.
"He has already been nominated by
the whole OF the American people.
From one end OF the land to the other
there is but one name mentioned for
President on the Republican ticket
that man is the first choice of every 9th
cr man who wishes Republican success
next November. 1t is therefore not
necessary to speak for him here or else
where.
HE has already spoken for himself
and to all the world. His record is re-
plete with brilliant achievements in
peace and war, OF inspiring fidelity, to
duty and good works accomplished.
-Four years ago the American people
confided to him their highest and most
sacred trust. What has been the result ?
When he entered Office he found bust
ness paralyzed. He has brought pros
perity unprecedented to this country.
The man already nominated by the con-
vention had surmounted every difficulty
that had arisen. He had opened the
door OF China and advanced our inter
ests in every land
But this was not surprising. 1t was
anticipated. When he was nominated
four years ago at ST. Louis all knew that
he was brave, able, faithful and honest,
and the greatest achievements were his
in time OF peace. We never dreamed OF
war then. War, however, came, in spite
OF all he could do to avert it, upon MS.
We were unprepared for war But
Americans met the situation promptly.
And there had never been a brighter
chapter in our history than that.
In 100 days he drove Spain from the
+ Western seas and filled the world with
admiration OF our power. 1t means free
dom and independence for the long suf-
iering people OF Cuba, and the blessings
OF liberty to the people of Puerto Rico
