CORTELYOU WILL BE
PAYNE'S SUCCESSOR

In succession to Mr. Payne, George
Bruce Cortelyou former secretary Of
the department of commerce and labor
and now chairman of the Republican
national committee, will become post
master general. Mr. Cortelyou's APP
pointment as head of the postoffice de-
partment was determined on several
months ago by President Roosevelt
when Mr.. Payne indicated to the presi-
dent his desire to retire from the de-
paftment on account of the precari-
Gus state of his health. Mr.. Payne
would have resigned the portfolio long
ago had it not been for the then pend
ing investigation of the affairs of the.
department. He felt, however, and
said many times to his friends that he
could not relinquish the duties of the
Office while the investigation was pend
ing, and expressed his determination to
carry the investigation to a conclu-
sion.
The intense mental and physical
strain incident to the direction of the
postal inquiry very seriously under
mined his strength. He was warned
again and again by his physicians and
friends that he was subjecting himself
to too great burden, but he refused
to heed their counsel. Having con-
Guided the pressing work OF the depart,
ment and carried the inquiry to point
where it passed from the hands of the
department officials to the courts, it
was his intention, in a few months at
most to yield to the admonitions of his
friends and relinquish finally the cares
and responsibilities of official life
Whether, if he had lived, he would
have remained at the head of the post
office department until the close of the
present administration, had not been
determined definitely, it is understood,
although the probabilities are that he
would have resigned to take effect
about the list of next January. Mr.
Payne possessed ample wealth.. He
hoped that, on leaving the departments
he so could arrange his business af
fairs as to be able to devote the re-
mainder of his hitherto very active life
to rest and recreation. He had prom
fsed his family and friends never again
to undertake any work which might
imperii his health, which for many
years had not been good.

Bartholdi, the sculptor, died today. He
had no blood relations, but two of his
wife's relatives were. with her at the
bedside when the sculptor died. Tuber-

continuing work in his studio. During
the last days of his work he fully recog-
nized the fatality of the disease and be-
gan to design his own tombstone. This

selves at the siege of Paris. He made
the statue, Liberty Enlightening the
World which stands in New York har

Chicago, June 22.-i3ecause Speaker
Joseph q. Cannon was the central
figure. the proceedings of the republic
can national convention took on the
pictures and demonstrativeness which
yesterday was looked for in vain.
From the moment he was escorted to
the platform to WELD the gavel as
permanent chairman, the entire atmos-
phere of the convention changed En-
thusiasm which had lain dormant burst
forth and applause rang true and hear
ty. He made speech and the audi
ence cheered as he spoke jocularly or
in serious vein. He was an enter
tainer; in fact, he was the convention.
Platform Adopted.
From the standpoint OF political i'm
portance the adoption of the party
platform was the event of the day. 1t
contained declarations OF the party
policy that are to form the basis OF
much oratory in the coming campaign.
But the permanent chairmans per-
sonality almost overshadowed the plat
form. The second day of the conven-
ton might have been the close had 1t
been the desire Of the assembled dele
gates. Early in the day a movement
was inaugurated to proceed with the
nominations, but the original program
which was prepared to extend over
three days prevailed and the standard
bearers for the 1904 republican cam
paign will be named formally TO-
morrow.
Two Delegates for Hawaii.
The contest over the number of dele
gates which Hawaii was entitled was
disposed of by an amendment to the
rules to the effect that the representa-
tion hereafter should be two delegates
from Hawaii. but that the six dele
gates already seated should not be
disturbed. The report of the commit
tee on credentials interested the con-
vention only so far as it dealt with
the Wisconsin situation. Senator Me-
Comas of Maryland, chairman of the
committee, read the report of an in
vestlgation of the contest.
The report closed with the declara-
tion that the "stalwart" faction. led by
Senators Spooner and Quarles, Repre-
sentative Babcock and Judge Baensch,
the four delegates-at-large, was the
regular republican party in wiscon-
sin.
One of the remarkable features con-
