CONVENTION HALL, PHILADEL-
PHIA, June 21.-This was the great
day, and long before 10 o'clock the hall
was surrounded by an immense army
of people, who besieged all the doors
and entrances, clamoring for admis-
sion. When the doors were opened
they surged in like a food, submerg-
ing the vast hall. The stage had been
freshened with green things and at
each corne like a touch of flaming
color, red peonies shot into the air.
The hand in the north gallery was at
work early with inspiring music.
1t was much warmer to-day. The
sun blazed down through the spaces
in the roof and the heat gave prom
ise of being oppressive. But the ladies
were attired in their thinnest muslins,
everybody was provided with a fan
and there was no complaint. One old
fellow in the gallery, with charming
disregard OF the proprieties, Invested
himself of coat and vest, hung them
over the rail and took his seat.
Three minutes before 10 the Kansas
delegation, headed by Col. Barton, with
bright silk sunflowers pinned TO their
lapels, aroused the first enthusiasm as
they marched down the main aisle
bearing a white banner inscribed in
big black letters with the words
.Kansas is for Roosevelt"
AS the delegates debouched into the
pit the utmost good nature was mani
tested. The contest was over. It
was to be a love feast, a jubilee and
not a contest which the day. was to wit
ness.
Governor Roosevelt entered at ex-
actly 10 o'clock. He made a rush of it
to-day. but he did not escape the keen
eye of the thousands and they set up
a cheer at sight of him.
He was surrounded by the delegates
when he reached the pit and showered
with congratulations. He made no pro-
testations or dissent, but smilingly re-
peated his thanks. One gray-haired
delegate put his arms around the Gov
erno and whispered in his ear. All
States were represented in the vel
come, leading with Kansas, the indom-
liable Roosevelt pioneer. leading the
demonstration. A few minutes later
another outburst greeted the entrance
OF Senator Hanna. His progress was
impeded all the way down the aisle by
delegates who insisted upon shaking

LONDON, June Y, $3.50 a. m.-The
United States gunboat Monocacy was
two miles up the Pei-Ho river when
the international fleet began the bonn
bardment of the Taku forts. Accord
ing to the Shanghai correspondent Of
the Daily Express she was shot through
the bows. The correspondent says
that Chinese riiemen on both banks
Of the river attacked her, but unsuc-
cessfully.
The scantiness of authentic news
with reference to the situation contin-
ues. Admiral Kempf's dispatch to the
United States Navy Department an
nouncing that Tien Tsin is being bonn
barded, was prominently used by the
London papers and commented upon
as indicating a change for the worse.
The British admiralty does not be-
lieye the report of the death of Adj
miral Seymour, commander of the in
ternational relief forces and semi-ofi-
cial assurances are given that there
seem to be not the slightest evidence
to back up such a report. 1t is pointed
out that Admiral Seymour had sufi-
cient supplies to enable him to get TO
Pekin or to get back. I'VE are hope
full" says the semi-oficial announce
ment. that since he has not done the
latter, he has done the former"
A dispatch to the Associated Press
from Shanghai dated yesterday, says:
"The consuls met to-day to consider
the situation, which, in the absence of
new from Pekin, is looked upon
Is Particularly threatening.
Grave fears still exist as TO the safety
of the Europeans in Pekin. 1t was
agreed to wire to the senior consul at
Che Foo to communicate with the SEN
Tor officers at Taku, asking for imme-
diate assistance in communicating d.
rect with Pekin, which they believe
can be brought about through Sheng,
director of telegraphs. They advise
that Sheng be asked to explain the
interruption Of communications"
The stoppage of trade has thrown ten
thousand coolies out of work at Shang-
hal. All the English ladies at Tien
Tsin left there Saturday by a train for
Taku. Shanghai wires that they had
some exciting experiences and would
not have gotten through except for the
assistance of the Chinese troops. The
boxers made several desperate attempts
to attack the train.
Taking advantage of the political dis
orders, bands Of robbers are arriving
in the vicinity Of Sam Chung. The
Chinese authorities are powerless.
Precautions have been taken to pre-
rent disturbances in British territory.
The explanation given at Hong Kong
of the failure of Ii Hung Chang to go
to Pekin is that there is a rising on the
border of Kow Loon Hinterland.
