There were i'm. portants exchanges between Secretary Taft and his Chicago friends as to the platform. especially as to the anti-in- junction plank. The view here is that the plank will be retained in the plat form as if was agreed upon.
 Apparently disinterested in the clos ing hours of the days proceedings, President and Mrs. Roosevelt drove from the White House late in the af- ternoon to the vicinity of Rock Creek, northwest of the city. where they mounted horses and cantered over the smooth bride paths amid the wild scenery that characterized the park They left just after the great ovation to Mt- Roosevelt had exhausted itself, following forty-nve minutes of con- tfnued cheering,

 Chicago. ILL, June .7--James Bryce. Ambassador of Great Britain to the United States. was the guest of honor at a dinner at the Hamilton Club here tonight.
 Many of the distinguished conven- tion visitors were present at the din- ner.
 Ambassador Bryce said in part:
 II have been watching with great in- terest the proceedings of the great con- vention which is meeting in your city. 1 have been struck by a good many things about 1t. I did not write an ac- count of your government and tnsti- tutions without having paid several visits to this country, but 1t never was my good fortune to see National Convention. This machinery of conven- tons as you have it in this country is the most complete, full recognition of the rights of the people to which any country has attained, because people not only at elections say who shall ba their officials. but in these party con ventions they determine upon the men who ought to be put forward as the representatives of parties.
 Let me, express on behalf of every Englishman who is proud that from his country came those principles of self government which you are applyins here. the hope that the same sense Of the pre-eninent importance of main taining these cardinal principles of good government the United States. be an example to all countries. for ever, to flourish and abound
