The ovation given Senator Fair
banks as he entered the hall was
greater than was received by any of
his distinguished colleague.
The first speech at the convention
was by Senator Scott. who informally
presented to Chairman Payne a beau
tiful gavel. 1t was the gift of the Chi
cago citizens committee, which CO.
operated with the national sub-com-
mittee in making arrangements for
the convention. Later Graeme Stew
art, member of the national commit
tee from Illinois, on behalf of the Chi
cago committees, presented a similar
gavel TO Temporary Chairman Root.
In the convention hall Tuesday there
was one woman delegate who had the
same right to vote that was held by
each accredited male delegate. She
was Mrs. Charles A. Eldridge, of Col

Shortly before the adjournment for

invitation from President Francis and

The scene that followed was inspir-

into the air. delegates jumped to their
feet and then to chairs, shouting wild
Iy, loudly and continuously. Until the
applause subsidized Mr. Cannon stood,
awkwardly facing his audience. In
contrast with this was his appearance
after he had made himself heard and
his magnetism felt.
Speaker Cannon's Oratory was de-
cidedly to the liking of the conven-
ton. He established cordial relations
even before he had uttered a word.
He stood silent for for a moment on a
tongue-like projection in the center Of
the platform. His face fascinated. 1t

WEDNESDAYS PROCEEDINGS.

Chicago, June 22-The republican
national convention, the 18th in the
-party's history, met in the Coliseum
at noon Tuesday and organized.
An organization was perfected
preparatory to the adoption of plat
form and the making of nominations
in the succeeding days Of the conver-
ton From the quiet, yet unmistak-
able enthusiasm provoked by Senator
Fairbanks arrival at the Coliseum, his
nomination for vice president is but
little less assured than the nomination
Of Theodore Roosevelt for president.
The keynote of the campaign of 1904
was sounded by Hon. Elihu Root in
his speech as temporary chairman.
His address was a review of the ac-
complishments of the present admin
istration and a defense of republican
politics in general. When that had
been delivered and the various work
ing committees dispatched to their IL

three's until at 1 a. m. Tuesday 102

number of unidentified bodies is 125.
Every passing steamer seemed to
churn up the water to such a degree
that with its wash one or more bodies
would be swept into the beach. Be-
tween the hours of and in the aft
ernoon IS bodies, some of them badly
mutilated, were taken ashore by the
searching parties.
This brings the total number of bod
les recovered up to 734, and yet there
are something like 300 persons unac-

A number of these are among the
unidentified at the morgue and over

from supporters of a movement to linn

BIG BATTLE IMMINENT.
It Will Take Place in tbs Northern
Part of the Peninsula.


st. Petersburg, June 23.-The immi-
nence of battle in the northern part
of the Lao Tung peninsula is admit
ted by the war Office and is indicated
succinctly in Wednesdays dispatches
from the press correspondents at Lao
Yang, Kaiping and other points on the
railroad
The week of skirmishing around
Stu Yen retarded Gen. Kuroki's opera
tions. permitting Gen. Stakelberg to
reach Kaiping, the rear guard slowly
falling back on Sencluen before the
Japanese advance.
Meanwhile large forces are hurry
ing south from Lao Yang to check
both Gen. Oku and Gen. Kuroki.
1t is believed here that Gen. Kuro-
patkin's object is to prevent the juno
ture of the Japanese armies. On the
other hand the aim of the Japanese
apparently is to drive the Russians
out of the Lao Tung peninsula prep
aratory to march on Siao Yang. The
approach of the rainy season will
more than likely precipitate matters.

 Among the causes of death pneumonia, and fever are reported to be the most frequent.
