The Shanghai correspondent Of The
Times, telegraphing yesterday, says;
"The British flag is reported to have

Taku forts came Saturday night. A

ally applauded as he made his appear
ance and took his seat with the Penn
sylvania delegation. The arrival of
Governor Shaw, of Iowa, one of the
deiegates-at-large of that state, was
also the signal for a burst of applause
from host of his friends and support
ers of Congressman Dolliver for the
vice presidency. Senator McComas,
4 from Maryland. and Senator Cushman
K. Davis, of Minnesota, were given a
! welcome as they entered. Still, the
convention was rather undemonstra-
tive at first. Only a scattering ap-
q plause met Mr.. Hanna as he made his
= way to the stage. Gen. GroSvenor,
& Senator Lodge, Senator Foraker, Sena-
8 tor Plat and few others aroused a
9 fluttering of handkerchiefs and round
8 of hand clapping but men of national
& reputation whose fame has spread
away from our shores across both
oceans entered without producing a
4 ripple. Perhaps most of them were
9 not recognized. 1t seemed tame.
But just before Chairman Hanna
8 was ready TO drop his gavel Governor
8 Roosevelt entered, and the vast audi
ence was electrified. He stalked in at
n the main door. Seemingly the audi
8 ence had been waiting for him, and
q the applause that announced his ap-
4 pearance swept over the vast amphi-
theater and swelled into great roar as
q he made his way towards the seats of
8 the New York delegation. Senator De-
pew and Chairman Odeli, of the New
q York state committee, were with him,
q but the crowds had eyes only for the
q dashing hero of San Juan. No state
4 idol ever made an entrance moro op-
s portunely. But he made no acknowl-
s edgment of the ovation his appearance
q ELECTED. His jaw was firmly set, and
{ he came through the press like SOL
g der performing his duty. He did not
even remove his hat, but pushed his
4 way through the delegates who swarm
4 ed from their places to grasp his hand
q Fully two minutes it took for him to
q traverse the length OF the hall to his
Il place near the stage. All Of that time
the roar followed him.

ne had r8iseu.
Chairman Hanna then introduced
Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, as tenn
porary chairman. and that eloquent
orator reused his 10, 900 auditors to the
highest pitch of enthusiasm as he
sounded the keynote for the cam
paign of 1900. Senator Wolcott's adj
dress lasted an hour and ten min
utes. 1t undoubtedly added to the
brilliant Colorado senator's reputation
as an orator. The climax was reached
when he lifted up his voice and de-
clared that our dead were buried in
Luzon, and that on it's soil no foreign
flag should ever salute the dawn.
The appointment of the committees
on permanent organization, platform,
ETC., concluded the labors of yester-
days session, and with the benedic-
ton of the Rev Edgar M. Levy, who
delivered the invocation at the conven-
ton held on Locust street in 1856, the
convention adjourned until today,

Roosevelt will be nominated. Sena-
tor Hanna, 1t is declared, has stated
that he controls the delegates to such
an extent that he can nominate any
candidate he pleases, and it IS not
known that he has withdrawn his OBJ
jections to Mr.. Woodruff. The latter
was as much surprised as anybody
over the result. In general the idea
seems to be that Roosevelt may still be
nominated. Governor Roosevelt be-
lieves that, his wishes having been
respected by his own delegation, he is
finally out of the race.

THE CHINESE CRISIS.

REPORTED KILLING OF MINISTERS

1t In Now Reported That Both Ger
man and French Enjoys Were
Standardization Troops Attacking
the Chinese Capital.
London, June 20.-''The Russian re-
lieving force arrived outside of Pekin
this morning" says the Shanghai cor
respondent Of The Daily Express,
'and Immediately began to attack the
city on two sides, employing numer-
Gus 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 16 the Chinese
troops under Generals Tung Fuh ST.
'ang and Tung Ching attacked the le-
cations and set on fire five European
buildings. Nothing definite is known
as to the result, except that the Chi
.nese were disappointed, although other
reports, utterly discredited by for
.eigDers here, are that the Chinese, in
furiated by the destruction of Taku,
have since massacred all the foreign
ers IN Pekin."
A modified version of these rumors
received at Berlin is that the French
as well as the German minister (Baror
Won Ketteler) has been killed.
