Yokohama, June 10.-The news of the shelling
Of the forts at Taku has caused great excite
ment throughout Japan. 1t is reported that the
Powers will ask Japan to send twenty thousand
troops 10 suppress the revolt. 1t is probable
that the Government will consent. Additional
transports are being prepared.
London, June 19.-Rumors that Japan will, as
the mandatory of the Powers, restore order in
China were revived in a dispatch to-day from
Yokohama. Berlin dispatches intimate that Ger
many will not object to Japan's sending 49, 600
troops, while Great Britain will indorse the plan
with avidity, though perhaps only secretly.
The Japanese Legation in London has official
information Of the dispatch of three thousand
troops. In the mean while the British are dis
patching six native regiments, besides artillery
from India.

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
Philadelphia. June 19.-At the meeting of the
New-York delegation tonight Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor Woodruff was made the unanimous choice
Of New-York for the Vice-Presidential nomina-
ton. Chauncey NJ. Depew was chairman of the
meeting. Senator Platt did not attend Mr.
Depew said that the meeting was called for the
purpose of determining the attitude of the New
York delegation in the Convention on the sub
ject of a candidate for Vice President b B.
Odell, jr, then was recognized and said:
Before determining upon any action, feel
that, inasmuch as ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Wood
ruff has been and is a candidate for the nOmi-
nation that he should be heard He is not a
member of the delegation. but / feel that he
should be asked to come here and state his
views.
The motion was put and carried and c. A
Moore, Of Brooklyn, was asked to escort the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to the meeting. He re-
turned in few moments. and Mr.. Woodrufr was
cheered as he entered Senator Depew said:
Governor Woodruff. you have been here sew
eral days. You are a candidate for the nomina-
ton for Vice-President. The delegation from
your State would esteem it as both a favor ana
a courtesy if you would give your views Of the
situation frankly to them.
WOODRUFF STATES HIS POSITION
Lieutenant Governor Woodruff replied:
My position in this matter is plain. have
occupied only one position If Governor Roose-
Welt is a candidate then I withdraw. 1 believe
that a large majority Of the delegates here in
fact l believe that the sentiment from all over
the. country, is practically unanimous that he
accept the nomination. / have not been able
to convince myself that he would ultimately op-
pose or refuse this demand Therefore I have
made campaign. 1 have not solicited sun
port l believe that great many of the mem
bers Of this delegation would vote for me- but
l have not asked any one to do so New-Y York
is the pivotal State in the coming campaign
The eyes Of the country are turned toward New
York. There is a demand that New-York ex-
press its preference for the Vice Presidency. I
believe the time has come when the best inten-
tions of the Republican party in the State and
Nation demand that choice be made. New
York should have the Vice-Presidential nomina-
ton New-York is to be the battle-ground, and
a New-York man on the National ticket would
greatly help in New-York ! believe the great
Empire State should have such representation
and the hour has come for a choice. and with
only the best interests of the Republican party

for observation or perhaps to fire through.
At 10 D. IN. Booth again entered the
box, quietly holding a pistol in one hand

Rathbone rose and asked this intruder
his business. Booth rushed past the
Major without making reply and, plac-

the dialogue between Florence Trenchard

rang through the theater. 1t was appar-
