The standpat Clarion Monitor says
There is disposition on the part of
some of the republican papers to heap
personal abuse on Governor Cummins
for no other reason than that they diff
fer from the governor in his tariff
views. Republicans are privileged to
disagree with him, and have right to
oppose his selection as delegate at
large but to go further than that is
not the part of wisdom
The Baxter New Era observes that
"Nesr' are beginning TO understand
that politics of yesterday are not
those OF today. 1t is matter of bust
ness, not of hate or the traditions of
a party, and they are looking forward
to tariff revision and reciprocity to
stimulate and help bring more business

The Boss Accused Of
Spending 100000 In
Effort to be Senator

Chicago, June 2i.-The Credentials
Committee organized for work at 4
o'clock with Senator McComas of Mary
land In the chair. A resolution was
adopted that the committee sit in SEES
sion until all the contested cases were
disposed of.
The rule adopted that the hearing
on each side should be limited to TWEEN
ty-five minutes was set aside in num-
Der of instances and the hearing ex-
tended to twice that time. BY unani-
nous vote the Committee on Creden-
tials which assembled after adjourn
ment of the convention, upheld the
action OF the national committee and
declared the J. Edward Addicks dele
cation from Delaware entitled TO seats
in the convention.
A hearing was granted to both sides
and the anti-Addicks faction through
it's attorney charged that Addicks had
at different times used some $4,000
to obtain election of his lieutenants and
in the effort to elect himself United
States Senator. Mr.. Addicks rose to
a question of personal privilege and
emphatically denied the charges. He
was not permitted to make a speech,
however. but replied to questions from
the committee
Louisiana Contest.
The first between the contesting
delegates at large for Louisiana was
long and vigorous. The contest was
taken up at o'clock and at Sis ter

the Auditorium Annex Hotel immedi-
ately after the Convention adjourned,
and organized by electing Senator Lodge
OF Massachusetts, as Chairman: Senator
Clark of Wyoming as Secretary. and r.
@. Proctor OF Massachusetts, as Clerk.
The chair was then authorized to ap-
point a subcommittee of thirteen to

Before confiding the work of con-
structing the platform to the sub-com-

fragists and also to Representative
Bartholdt of Missouri, who presented
an international arbitration plank
When the women of the suffragist
party applied for a hearing, Senator
Lodge ordered the doors closed and
took the sense of the committee on the
question. The committee favored a
hearing and the women were ushered
in.

Already questions have been raised as
to the wording OF the plank. and Repre-

Mr.. Dalzell does not want any ref

Hansbrough Is contending for the sug-
gestion contained In his resolution that
an adjustment OF the tariff should be
made with regard to enlarged CONNER
cial relations with foreign countries.
The reciprocity clause Is urged by
those who recall that Il was in the last
speech OF President Mckinley and that
the Republicans should endorse that
portion of his policy.

John w. switzer, a delegate to the
convention from Cebu. P. l., ana
member of the Committee on Creden-

the draft OF q plank favoring tariff re-
duction and ultimate free trade be-
tween the United States and the Phil
ippine Islands. The sub-committee's
decision was adverse to the proposition
as a part of the platform.
The original draft of the platform
contained no reference to the question
question had not been taken up by the
committee. Senator Smoot, who has
been giving close attention to the mat
ter. says there will be. no utterance
whatever concerning It.
Just before midnight a member OF the
subcommittee said that an agreement
had been reached on the tariff plank
and that there would be no minority
report by members OF the sub-com-
mittee. He said the declaration for
protection was emphatic but promised
revision when necessary but such re-
vision should be made by Republicans.
A mild reciprocity clause, he added, Is

TESTIMONY IS STARTLING

New York, June 21.-Evidence of q
startling nature which doubtless will
have an important bearing upon the
ultimate result of the coroner's in
quest into the Slocum disaster was
forthcoming at the inquest to-day.
Perhaps the most unexpected incl
dent was the continued refusal to an
swer questions of Henry Lundberg. a
United States steamboat inspector, who
was supposed to have Inspected the
life preservers and the hull of the i'll
fated steamer. His refusal was bas-
ed on the ground that an answer might
tend to incriminate him, and he acted
on the advice of his counsel The COR
pner committed Lundberg to the house
of detention. but later accepted 500
bail for his appearance at the hearing.
which was satisfactory to the Assist
ant District Attorney.
Second Pilot Weaver of the Slocum
testified that he had purchased the fire
hose for that boat and Mr.. Garvan in
troduced evidence 40 show that Ine
price paid was forty cents a foot, less
sixty per cent, or 16 cents per foot
net.
Cost Of Fire Hose.
Don't you know that you can't buy
good fire hose for less than a dollar or
a dollar and a half per foot?"
Il don't know anything about the
price of hose" responded Weaver.
Weaver also declared that there had
been no fire drill on the Slocum this
year.
Daniel o'Neill who, according to his
own sworn statement, had never work
ed on boat until he was hired on the
Slocum short time ago admitted that
he had jumped into a rowboat filled
with people from the Slocum, capsiz-
ing 1t.
Asked If he saved any one, he said
there were others doing that and he
was not an expert swimmer. He swan
ashore himself, however. O'Neill de-
rlared that he had never seen fire
drill on the boat.
Referring to the efforts made to
throw water on the FIRE when It was
hrst discovered, O'Neill told of the
bursting of the hose. He ran and
got the rubber washing hose but lac
coupling would not At the standpipe.
This was some of the sensational tes-
timony brought out.
S45 bodies Recovered.
By the use of dynamite and heavy
guns fired by men from the second
battery, scores of bodies were brought
up from the bottom around the snOre
of North Brother Island to-day. From
aunrise to sunset the searchers along

Aroused by the Charges.

Thoroughly aroused by the charges
contained in the statement of the La

Committee after disposing Of the Mis-

quest of the Spooner mon that they be
given a hearing for the purpose of
clearing themselves of the charges
made by their opponents.

that could be expected under the cir
+cumstanccs.
Lack OF pebble Interest.
The lack of public interest In the
convention was esidenced by the large
number of spectators seats vacant.
Seats at former Republican conven-
tions usually brought a premium.
Today spectators offered them but
there were few takers and as the hour
approached for the convention to as.
semble they sold them for a song.

live long after the spasmodic demon
strations have been forgotten are Mr..

A hush almost oppressive fell over
the 1000 or more persons present. The
speaker had paused expectantly. As he
started to resume. the full force of the
tie stretched between the two greatest
of recent political heroes went home to
the delegates. The applause started
and in sympathetic wave was carried
to every part OF the great hall.
The Applause of the Day.
The demonstration was unlike any
that had preceded It or that came af-
ter. An indefinable dignity was at
tached to the demonstration which
seemed foreign to a political gathering.
The first speech ct the convention
was by Senator Scott, who informally
presented to Chairman Payne beauti-
full gavel.

than ordinary interest. The matter .of

Chicago. June 21.--without a dis
turbing element to impede smooth OPP
Grafton. the first days program for
the Republican National Convention
was carried out like clockwork. Not
o Earring sound was heard. not false
step taken. 1t was an assembly of
non-combative delegates which car
Yied into effect without the thunderous
demonstration usually attendant upon
political conventions, purpose that
had been clearly defined, on organiza-
ton perfected preparatory to the
adoption of a platform and the max
ing of nominations in the succeeding
days of the convention.
From the quiet yet unmistakable
enthusiasm provoked by Senator Fair
banks's arrival at the Coliseum. his
nomination for Vice President Is but
little less assured than the nomination
of Theodore Roosevelt for President.
Root Sounds keynote.
The keynote to the convention of
1904 was sounded by Hon. E1ihu Root
in his speech as temporary chairman.
His address was a review of the ac-
complishments of the present adminis-
tration and a defense of Republican
policies in general. When that had
been delivered and the various work.
ing committees dispatched to their
labor. the business of the first days
session was completed
Another picture was presented by
the opening day so different from the
customary convention scene as to at
tract marked attention. It was the
failure of the delegates and the spec
tators to warm to the spirit OF the
occasion. Mention of President
Roosevelt was responded with hearty
though not prolonged applause. The
lack of contest eliminated the neces-
sity for enthusiastic display OF feeling
and the mild cheering and rather list
less hand ciapping which was the
