Gets Second Place on the Ticket by
Unanimous Vote.
AS the name of Alabama was called
on the roll Of states for nomination of
candidates for vice president, the an
nouncement was made by the chairman
Of the delegation that Alabama would
yield to Iowa to present candidate.
Chairman Lodge then recognized Colo
mel LATE Young, one of the Iowa dele.
gates.at-large. Robust and vigorous in
physique and in his mentality Colonel
Young swung down the main aisle to
the platform to do that which that
state never before did in a national con-
vention-withdraw one strong and mag
netic man as a candidate and present
the name Of another for the second Of
flee in the gift Of the American people.
He withdrew the name Of Dolliver and
offered that of Roosevelt. Colonel
Young was in Cuba at the time Roose-
welt led his gallant Rough Riders up
San Juan hill and his reference to the
governors campaign was eloquent and
touching.
Demonstration for Roosevelt.
The demonstration which followed the
announcement by Colonel Young that
Governor Roosevelt was the candidate
of the young men of the country, who
represented their desires and ambitions
and embodied their patriotism and
Americanism, was not second to that
accorded the presidents name. The
vast assemblage sprang to it's feet and
state emblems, pamphlets, plumes,
handkerchiefs and hats fairly filed the
air. The demonstration continued for
six minutes and forty seconds, during
which time Roosevelt received the
congratulations of his friends, looking
the while like bronze statue.
Some seconding Speeches.
After quiet was restored Butler Muir
ray of Massachusetts, and General
James M Ashton made seconding
speeches
''Depew. Depew, demanded the del
egates in tumultuous chorus and as they
called the well known face and figure
of the New York senator emerged from
his delegation. The benign face of the
postprandial orator looked down on the
people and then in his musical voice he
began magnificent and impromptu
tribute to the hero of the hour. He
was in good humor as well as good
voice and his touch Of jocosity in men
tioning Teddy and the get there
qualities of young America brought out
! storm of mingled laughter and ap-
olause. He pictured TEDDY" as the
child of Fifth avenue, the cultured
product of Harvard, the cowboy of the
plains, the vitalizing force in MARSHALL
ng the American ships to overwhelm
he Spaniards, the impetuous loaded at
Santiago and San Juan.

PROCEEDINGS IN DETAIL.

Attendance on the Last Day the Largest
of the Convention.
PHILADELPHIA, June %. The third
and greatest day of the Republican ma
tional convention was called to order
by Chairman Lodge at 1898 in the
presence Of the largest audi
ence yet in attendance. The weather
was uncomfortably warm and the tenn
perature of the room was decidedly
oppressive. AS on the two previous
days Governor Roosevelt was the
main attraction and received the great.
est ovation on his arrival at the hall.
At 1898 Chairman lodge glanced at
his watch and then he raped his his
toric gavel, while the band ushered in
the session with the national anthem,
Senator Hanna being the first to rise
and the entire audience following as
the inspiring strains reverberated
through the building. AS the anthem
closed the chairman announced the
opening invocation by Archbishop
Ryan.
objectionable Amendment W1LnQr8"ns
The chair then laid the amendment
to the rules offered by Mr.. Quay as the
unfinished business before the con-
vention. AS the cheers died away at
the mention of Quay's name the short
and sturdy figure Of the Pennsylvania
arose in the middle aisle. In thin
voice, hardly heard at the platform,
Mr.. Quay announced the withdrawal of
the amendment proposing change in
rules 1 and IL referring to representa-
ton in national conventions. This was
accepted by the Southern delegates as
concession to them, and they arose en-
masse, cheering wildly at the with
drawal of the proposition.
Now Mr.. Lodge advanced to the
front of the platform and thrill went |
through the vast audience as he an
nounced that, under the rules, nominal
lions for the Office of president Of the
United States are now in order.

Thurston Makes Speech.
When the convention settled dowr
the chairman recognized Senator Thurs
ton of Nebraska for speech secondins
the nomination of the president.
The senator's deep, organ-like bari
tone reverberated through the structure
as easily distin guishable to the remot
est corners as the strains of the band.
He pictured the president as soldier
on many hard fought fields, as a states.
man in the halls of congress, and as
president directing the destinies of a
nation
''Our president now, our president to
be again
Senator Lodge then recognized John
W. Yerkes of Kentucky who arose to
also second the nomination on behalf
of the South. He asserted that no con-
vention had ever been so unanimous for
a man as was this for Mckinley.
Convention Getting Restless.
Disregarding the call for vote Chair
man Lodge recognized George Knight,
head of the California delegation. His
humorous address caught the fancy of
the assemblsge and he was cheered en-
Enthusiastically.
fVote, VOTE" came from the dele
gates as Mr.. Knight concluded, but the
chairman stilled the outcry and recog-
nized Governor Mount of Indiana, who,
in behalf Of the state, seconded the nom
ination Of Mckinley. 1t was glowing
eulogium to the statesman soldier presi-
dent. 1t was apparent that the conven-
ton was eager for definite results and
growing hum rolled through the hall as
Governor Mount spoke. AS he closed
the convention again demanded vote
and the chairman announced that the
roll of states would be called for the
vote on the nomination for president.
Unanimous for Mckinley.

there was no unusual demonstration
among the delegates. When chairman
Lodge announced that Mckinley was
the unanimous choice Of the conven-
ton pandemonium broke loose in one
swelling chorus Of enthusiasm for the
new candidate. Up went the plumes
and standards. Up stood the great
audience, men and women, mingling
their shouts and their frantic demon

The demonstration in honor Of the

minutes and then the chairman called

began to speak, first thanking Alabama
for their courtesy in yielding but at
tributing that fact to the overwhelming
popularity of the candidate. AS Mr..
Foraker continued he was repeatedly
interrupted with cheers. His announce
ment that the nomination of McKin-
ley was equal to an election in Novem-
Der brought vociferous cheers.
Briefly Senator Foraker adverted to
the record Of the president in peace and
in war as one Of the most remarkable
in American history. s'In war and in
peace, 7 said he, while the delegates and
spectators echoed the refrain of the
Sentiment expressed, she has been
found equal to all extraordinary re-
quirements. In all American history
there has been no chapter more bril-
liant than that written by the United

clared with brilliant emphasis that the
success of the Republican party in
November meant peace in the Philip
pines, while the success Of the oppo-
sition meant a prolongation of the
struggle, the delegates and spectators
rose almost as one man and cheered.
After recounting the achievements
OF the United States in the far-of

the claim Of this country upon the arch

An INCREASED DIVIDEND.
Meeting of the Directors of the Boston
g. Albany Road.

| Boston. Dec 1.-THE directors of the
Boston and Albany railroad at a meet
| ing to-day declared regular quarterly
dividend of 1925 per share, an increase
| increase represents portion of the in
terest from the $5,5OO,00o of New York
Central 8 1-2 per cent. bonds recently
received. The annual revenue from
these securities amounts to $192,500,
which is equivalent to about II cents
per share on each of the 100000 shares
of Boston and Albany stock.
In order to simplify the accounts and
to facilitate the distribution of the div
idends among the 5000 shareholders of
the company the directors have thought
it wise to make the annual payment
from this source cents and divided it in
one of 25 cents to be paid December 81,
the other of so cents on June 80. This
is the plan adopted at to-day's meeting,
and is the one that will be followed un-
til the stockholders, if they deem 1t adj
visable, vote to make a distribution of
the bonds themselves. To-days divi-
dend is made payable December 81 to
stockholders of record December IS.
The directors also voted to-day to ask
the railroad commissioners for authori-
ty to issue $2500,000 of 1-2 per cent.
fifty year bonds, the proceeds of the
same to be used in carrying out the ex-
tensive improvements in East Boston.
Under the legislative act authorizing
the lease, the Boston and Albany Rail-
road company is required to expend at
least $250000 annually for a period of
ten years on terminal improvements in
East Boston. 1t was thought wise,
however, after the recent visit of the
New York Central officials to Boston
and their inspection of the terminals, to
make provision for the entire amount
to be expended rather than to adopt
any plan that called for yearly action,
1t is the intention now to have the
contracts for the improvements award
ed by or before April /. 1901, and 10 get
construction work under way just as
soon as possible thereafter.

nifty of previously ascertaining the cor
rect range. In the British army the
soldier has never been drilled in rife
fire at a greater range than 1000 yards
TO exactly ascertain the efficiency OF
! rifle fire at a long range, Sir William
Butler, formerly commander-in-ch chief
of the South African forces, has been
carrying out some interesting expert
ments at the Aldershot camp. A body
of infantry was supposed to be march
ing in columns over an open space, the
range of which was known to another
force holding an intrenched position a
considerable distance away.
The advancing columns were repre-
sented by eighteen large canvas
screens, each measuring nineteen feet
in length and six feet in hight, and sep
arated from one another by a distance
of twenty-five PAGES, so that from the
front rank to the rear rank occupied
about 1000 yards. The screens We're
painted light brown in color, and close
ly resembled the shade Of the sandy
soil upon which they were placed. The
intrenched position was held by a Sc
lection of marksmen at a range of 1000
yards. Each soldier was supplied with
fifty rounds of ammunition. At this
range the soldiers could not discry the
canvas screens without the aid of field
glasses, and then only the front screens
were visible, those. in the rear being
hidden by the configuration of the
ground. Near the screens the markers
hut had been erected, and the officer in
charge was connected with the in
trenched position by telephone Fire
was first directed upon the targets from
a range of 1900 yards, and finally in
creased to 1920 yards. At first the
shots were fred singly and the effects
of each notified, the results being very
satisfactory. Then volley firing was
practiced with equal success. In all
1000 shots were discharged, fifteen per
cent of which We're reported as hits.
The front screen was completely rid
died. Of course, numerous shots fell
between the screens, and although they
were not considered in this test they
would have yet been useful, since they
would probably have hit the feet of the
enemy The experiments proved the
high carrying capacity and efficiency

racy of its ighting.-Scientific Ameri-
