Senator Hanna is willing to take in the
fight he is making.
The conference between
Senator Hanna and Senator PIntt
was an interesting feature of the Vice
Presidential contest. Hanna talked to
Platt as he had talked to Odell and
Quigg the day before. He told him
that because Plat did not want Roose-
welt in New York was no reason why he
should attempt to force him upon the
party in national politics. Plat then tried
TO get an agreement from Hanna to sup
port Odell, and this was refused on the
ground of being unjust to the other can
didates in the field. Platt asked for time
and the matter went back to the New
York delegation.
The contest has not assumed any such
definite form as to even approximate the
relative strength for the three candidate
for the vote In view of the developments
cannot be considered more han compli-
mentary.
The action of different delegations have
some significance. New Jersey, with 20
votes, and California, with Is, declared
for Long. Other States evinced a de-
oAN " SAPPOkN any CdilhlddlC d6l SCdDlo
to the administration, while there are a
number of States in the West that are
determined to vote for Roosevelt.
While there has been a great deal of
talk about the nfiuence of the admins
tration IN the Vice Presidential contest,
1t is taken for granted that the Presi-
dent favors Long, or the secretary would
not be a candidate, but no one seems to
have authority
To Use the Presidents Name
in a way to make delegates feel obli-
gated to vote for any particular candi-
date.
1t is rumored that to-day a message has
been received from the President saying
that the convention MI remain I'M
trammelled and that the administration
must not be brought into the matter in
n way. To whom it was sent. If at
all, could not be learned, although it was
said Senator Hanna had received such a
message. The Senator, when asked If he
had received a telegram to that effect.
replied that he had not received a tele-
gram from the President since he had
been in Philadelphia.

WASHINGTON, June ia mes
sage from Admiral Remey touching
the readiness of the Princeton, Marietta

resented all the news that had come
from the East since yesterday. One
fact of the utmost Importance develop
ed, however, namely that the notice
of the Russian government of it's in
tention to despatch 1000 troops to
China was accompanied by a declar-
alton that these troops were to be used
for the assistance of Europeans and
Americans and with no purpose of ter
ritorial aggression. This was receiv-
ed with the greatest satisfaction. 1t is
understood that Japan, in view of
R~ussia's frank declaration will con-
sent to assume the same obligation.

TAYLOR. OF KENTUCKY.

The Gubernatorial U~surper and Flu
gitive From Justice, Made n Mis-
cradle Exhibition of Himself.
There was a momentary lull and
then Mr.. Wolcott, gazing out at the
assemblage. said:
"Governor Taylor, of Kentucky,
is recognized"
Every eye was turned toward the
centre of the hall, where a tall, gaunt,
black-garbed figure, with the swarthy
face of an Indian, stood with a paper
in his hand, awaiting a pause in the
hurrah which his name had evoked.
Come to the platform, Governor!
They want to see you," called out Mr..
Wolcott.
The much-discussed man from Ken
lucky moved up the middle aisle to
the platform, receiving a cheer as Sen
ator Wolcott advanced to greet him.
There was momentary silence as the
convention waited, apparently expect
ing a speech echoing some of the recent
dramatic incidents in Kentucky. But
instead of that,
In Piping Voice,
Governor Taylor seconded the nomina-
tons of the various officials, who had
been announced. and this done, lef:
the stage. The nominations were made
unanimous.
The call of the roll of States, for the
submission of members of the various
committees then began. 1t proved a
tedious process.
While the lists were being brought
to the stage Gov. Roosevelt
Was Holding "A Regular Levee
in the pit. Delegates swarmed toward
him from all directions. Ex-senator
Quey was one of those who greeted
him warmly. The New Mexico dele
gates with broad sombreros climbed
over seats in their eagerness to get to
him and shake his hand. Chauncey
NJ. Depew and the other big guns of
the New York delegation were ignored.
People leaning over the rails of the
pit watched his every movement and
many OF the delegates climbed on to
their chairs and watched the crowd
eddy around him.
When order had been restored after
the confusion incident to this scene,
Mr.. Wolcott announced that the sec
rotary would read the lists of the va
rious committees. These committees
he announced could meet Immediately
after the adjournment of to-day's ses-
sion of the convention.
The clerk read the list in a voice
which did not carry fifty feet from the
stage and the spectators, who usually
applaud the names of the popular party
leaders as they called, were denied
this pleasure of paying tribute to their
favorites.
Not "A Single Name was AppIauded
When the lists had been read Repre-
sentative Cannon, of Illinois, was rec
ognized to move an adjournment until
tomorrow. Rev. Edgar NJ. Levy, who
delivered the invocation at the first
Republican convention in this city "A
years ago, to-day white-haired and
feeble, delivered a benediction upon the
convention.
The whole convention arose to re-
ceive his blessing and then exactly at

LONDON, June ZU.-3.5O a. M
1.-THE Russian relieving force arrived
outside of Pekin this morning" says
the Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Express, "and Immediately be-
gan to attack the city on. two sides,
employing numerous artillery.
THE force APPARENTLY arrived in the
nick of time; for the Chinese assert
that the attack upon the legations had
been successfully renewed. On the
night of June 10th the Chinese troops
under Gems. Tung Fuh Slang and Tung
Ching attacked the legations and set
on fire five European buildings.
Nothing definite is known as to the
result, except that the Chinese were
disappointed, although other reports,
utterly discredited by foreigners here,
are that the Chinese, Infatuated by the
destruction of Taku, have since mas
sacred all the foreigners in Pekin."
A modified version of these rumors
received at Berlin is that the French
as well as the German minister has
been killed.
1t is reported that no fewer than five
hundred Chinese were killed in the
forts.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Express says he is officially in
formed that Japan is mobilizing TWEEN
ty-fve thousand men for immediate
transport.
The British cruiser Undaunted, ar
rived at Shanghai yesterday, cleared
for action, and took up q position COM
manding the Chinese forts. There are
three Chinese cruisers in the harbor.
The new Chinese cruiser Hai-Yang,
built by the Armstrong;, has been tax
en- into custody at Taku by the Brit
dsh and Russians.
At Yum-Nan-Fu, where the rising
has been gathering force for several
days $50 Christians have been attack
ed at the French mission settlement,
many being put to death. The French
consul and three missionaries are still
In prison.
The disorderly elements have secured
the upper hand at WI HUI and Czech
uan, where native Christians have been
massacred.
A thousand boxers have gathered on
the outskirts of Tien Tsin.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily News, t~elegraphing yesterday,
says:
THE Chinese officials here assert
that they have news from Pekin up
to June 18th. The situation then must
be very serious. Beyond that they
claim to have received nothing but
they deny that dispatches have been
withheld. Although I am not willing
to adopt the alarmist reports, my i'm
preston. gathered from the consuls
and the Chinese authorities is that the
worst is to be feared in Pekin.
Admiral Seymour's column is now
in the midst of an arid plain, with no
food and no water, and surrounded
by hostile forces"
A dispatch from Shanghai %nnounces
that the United States transport
Thomas with troops for Manila, was
diverted at Magasaki and has arrived
at Taku with twelve hundred men.

He is not at his best in a prepared

sibly, a little disappointed.
He spoke an hour and ten minutes,
and as his brilliant peroration closed
there was another enthusiastic demon
stration of approval.

handshakes from those about him, and
then turned to the business of the on
v~ention, announcing the long list o.
