London, June 22.-(S:30 a. m.)-The United States gunboat Monocay was two miles up the Pei Ho river when the international fleet began the bombardment of the Taku forts. According to the Shanghai corre- spondent of the Daily Express she was shot through the bow. The correspon- dent says that Chinese rinemen on both banks of the river attacked her, but un- successfully. The scantiness of the authen- tic news with reference to the situation continues. Admiral Memphis dispatch to the United States Navy Department an- nouncing that Tien Tsin is being bambarded was prominently used by the London papers and commented upon as indicating d change for the worst.
 The British admiraity does not believe the report of the death of Admiral Sey- mour commander of the international re- lief column, and semi-official assurances are given that there seems to be not the slight est evidence to back up such a report.
 It is pointed out that Admiral Seymour had sufficient supplies to enable him to get to Pekin or to get back. we are hopeful" says the semi announcement, that since he has not done the latter he has done the former

Then the roll of states was called and delegation after delegation rose in solid blocks and cast their votes for Mckinley When Chairman Lodge made the announce ment that the President had been renomi- rated for the term beginning March f. 4}01, there was the. same wild storm which Rad been raised by Foraker and when it was over Roosevelts nomination for the Vice-Pr sdency evoked succession of similar demonstrations Lafe. Young of Iowa, who was with Roosevelt in Cuba, nominated him on behalf of the State which had originally come to Philadelphia fer Deliver.
 His nomination was seconded by Delegate Murray, of Secretary Longs State, and Delegate Ashton of Washington, whose delegation came here for Bartlett Tripp. Chauncey M.

 When the convention caught sight of him it went off again like a rocket. As he stood there facing the yelling multitude, the roar could have been heard for blocks. Hanna smiled blandly as a daring pho tographer set up rapid-fire camera di- rectly in front of the hero of San Juan Hill and began banging away at him. But Freddy" did not finch. He looked about him while he waited for the storm to sub side. Several times he raised his hand, but the cheering continued. His stern, square jaw was firmly set as he surveyed the scene Only once did his face relax. That was when he caught sight of his wife, who sat in the reserved seats overhanging the pit on his right Then he smiled till his teeth showed, and Mrs. Roosevelt fluttered back her handkerchief.

 When finally he was allowed to begin he plunged directly to the heart of his subject in the impetuous way which the people so much admire. His first statement was that he arose to second the nomination of Will liam Mckinley, who had faced more prob lens than any President since Lincoln. The convention got on it's feet and it was sev- eral minutes before he could proceed. EV- cry movement and every word was charac-
 
 acted like one giving direction to an army about to go into battle. Roosevelt is no master of the foil. He prefers the broad sword and he laid about him with sledge- hammer blows, as the multitude went wild with delight.
 A Nebraska delegate shouted, Init 'em again." He had the manuscript of his speech in his hand and referred to it oc- casionally, discardng page after page as he finished until the platform at his feet was strewn with white sheets. When he reached the peroration and with world of in finite scorn in his voice asked if America was weakling to shrink from the world work of the world powers, the whole pit echoed mo" in a chorus. When he con cluded and resumed his seat in the New York delegation the other delegates rushed forward and surrounded him. Many em- braced him, and 1t seemed for a moment as if they would lift him to their shoulders. Senator Thurston, John Yerkes, an orator from the "Blue Grass State, and Governor Mount of Indiana also seconded McKinley's nomination but before the latter concluded the convention was impatient for a vote and several times tried to howl him down.

New Church Enterprise.


The members and friends of the

Washburn believe that the necessity
is laid upon them to arise and build
new church. The present building

community and has proved a great
blessing to old and yonng alike. 1t

practically worn out and unfit for
the present needs of the Church and
Sunday School,
Plans have been prepared by Mr..
Henry Wildhagep, of Ashland, and
the building of the basement let to
Mr.. Nels Odegaard, Of Washburn,
who will begin work on this part of
the new structure at once. The
new church will be built on what is
possibly the best located lot in town,
on Washington avenue and Fourth
street.
This Church, which is the pioneer
Protestant Church of Washbhrn,
deserves we'll of the town. Itenters
upon this new movement thankful
for all past favors, and trusts with
confidence a generous public for all
needed help in It's new enterprise.
It's members and friends are willing

been ready to help along all good
causes. The town is now happily
well supplied with public school
buildings of which it can be Justly
proud. Churches and schools, more
