CONVENTION IS
CALLED TO ORDER
Senator Burrows Is Made Temper
airy Chairman

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June Nearly
all of the 1000 seats in the big
Coliseum were occupied at noon to-
day, when the republican national
convention was called to order by
Chairman Harry s. New. A wave
of enthusiasm swept over the vast
assemblage when Chairman New
pounded his desk with gravel made
of wood from Fort Dearborn, and
formally announced that the momen-
tous convention was open. The ex-
cited buzzing lapsed into profound si-
lence when bishop H. J. MuldoOn be-
gan fervent prayer, in which he in
voked Divine guidance for the de-
alterations of the delegates.
Following the reading OF the call
of the national convention by Secre-
tary Elmer Dover, United States
Senator Julius c. Burrows, of Miehi-
gan, was introduced as temporary
chairman. His address was received
with applause. especially from the
sections where sat the delegates who
are still faithful to the allies, since
Senator Burrows is looked upon as
an Observation-Disclosures man.
The most important action of the
afternoon will be the selection of the
various committees. including those
on temporary organization, rules and
order of business, credentials and
resolutions. The latter is most i'm
portant. since IT will draft the
national party platform. The chair
manship will probably go to Senator
Albert ]. Hopkins. OF Illinois.
It is definitely announced that the
platform will take radical and ad-
vanced ground on the tariff, on con-
troll of the trusts. on the amending
of the Sherman law, on the currency
and on the question Of limiting the
power OF injunction. II will stand
squarely in other regards on the
policies Of the Roosevelt administra.
ton.
There are predictions in some
quarters that there win be dificulty
in framing the tariff plank Of tbs
platform, but that view Is not enter
tanned By the men in control OF th'
party. They assert that the tariff
plank viii follow closely tina
adopted by the Ohio state eonven
ton. and that no republican. witt

"standpatters," win object to that

district half of the monies taken in

1t Is only entitled to half OF the money
secured from liquor licenses and
monies taken in from fines. The
treasurer, according to Judge Main,
who had made an investigation of
the matter, had been proceeding un-
der the old law and not the new.
The mayor here took occasion to i'm
press upon the committee on finance
that here was work for 1t to do, and
asked them to proceed with it.
That concluded the business OF the
evening and the matter of adjourn
ment was discussed. Judge Main in
formed the council that according to
the city attorney resolution must
be passed and published for four
weeks before an ordinance could be
prepared making the appropriation
and that the ordinance must be pub
lished a week, and that under the
law they had only limited time in
which to make it, and that unless the
matter was hurried through the time
for making an appropriation would
go by. The mayor asked each one
Of the council IL they could attend
tomorrow evening, and upon receiv-
ing an affirmative reply cautioned
them to be more punctual and more
diligent in their work, and an ad-
journment was taken until then.

First Treasure Ship of Season From
Alaska.
SEATTLE, Wash, June 16.-
Bringing in the neighborhood of
$4,000, 900 in gold, the City of Seat
tie, which arrived from Skagway this
morning, lays claim to being the first
treasure ship of the year. Most Of
the dust was consigned to the bank
ing interests, but much of 1t was
brought down by individuals. So
accustomed are the people of Seattle
to hearing of big gold shipments that
the arrival of the City of Seattle
created no great stir. The steamer
brought more gold yesterday than
was brought down on the Portland
in 1897 from the Klondike, which at
that time electrified the world.
Miners arriving on the Seattle say
the Tanana will have an output OF
$4,000. 900.

BELLINGHAM, Wash, June TO-
Fifteen thousand acres of farm land
are overlooked, crops worth thous-
ands of dollars ruined and scores of
ranchers have been driven to seek
shelter on the high lands by the
flooding of Sumas prairie, just across
the line in British Columbia. The
Fraser and Chilliwack rivers are ris-
ing and there is danger that the
American side may be submerged.
Rivers are higher than at any time
since 1894. The hay crop is ruined,
and the dairying business is at a
standstill. Houses are, for the most
part, built on hills and have escaped
the invasion of the waters. though
ingress to them is largely by boats.

be content for a time at least with
what fate had given him.
