appreciation of all 1t was a republican
speech, note of war on the opposition and
a forecast Of victory for the republican
party under the leadership of w II. Taft
When he reformed to the achievements of
the republican party in the state and in
the nation, he was applauded to the echo,
and his shot at the alleged republicans
whot sit in opposition gatherings was the
occasion of much laughter and applause,
The convention endorsed William Hay
ward for congress in the First district,
recommending him to the voters at the
primary. The candidacy of Addison Wait
for secretary of state was indorsed and the
Taft administration was indorsed through
resolution.
No mention was made of county option
during the deliberations.
Mr.. Hayward said:

Peace is Probable
in Pennsylvania
Good Progress Made in Conference
Between Men and Officers, Which
Lasted Two Hours.

PHILADELPHIA, July 1S-The meeting
between General Manager Myers OF the
Pennsylvania railroad, and the 12O repre-
sentatives of the company's conductors and
trainmen of lines east of Pittsburg lasted
from IL a, m. to 1880 p. m.
w. G. Lee, presidet of the Trainmen's
Brotherhood, said upon leaving the Penn
sylvania building:
Several apparent misunderstanding have
been cleared up. L won't say whetheB con-
cessions have been made by us or by the
company, but our subcommittee probably
will meet Mr.. Myers this afternoon or to-
morrow.
PHILADELPHIA, July Extending the
conference between General Manager Myers
and the representatives of the trainmen s
and conductors unions at IL o'clock today,
both sides are maintaining absolute silence.
There has been a cessation Of strike talk,
and. under question today, the labor lead
ers do not seem so hostile as heretofore
to the idea of a compromise
PITTSBURG, Pa. July 1s.-It Is prob
able that the day will bring forth a settle
ment of the question whether men on the
pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg are

employers.
| The third conference which the com
mittee of the men have had with Genera
Manager G. l.. Peck. was arranged foi
| 2 O'Clock this afternoon. Previous meetings
according to the men have been encourag
| ing. and according to L. e, Sheppard. vice
president OF the Order OF Railway Con
ductors, an intimation was given that
least portion OF the mems demand
would be conceded. The union official
would not say this morning whether the.
would accept compromises.
IL is presumed that the result of tn
Philadelphia conference of eastern mel
may be known before the conference here
and it is likely that result will have con
siderable effect on the western situation.

pen House, London, Goes Over,
STILL SEARCHING FOR DOCTOR
Belief thas Alleged Murderer and
woman who Fled with Him
May BE on steamer Due at
New York Today.

LONDON, July 1S--The latest theory of
the Scotland Yard officials is that DR..
Hawley II. Crippen and Ethel Clara Leneve
may be aboard the steamer Kroonland,
which sailed for New York from Dover at
IL o'clock on the night of July 8, the day
the two disappeared. The steamer is due
at Quarantine New York, before IL o'clock
tomorrow night.
At Dover the Kroonland was boarded by
one New York man and number of pas
sengers from London.
The inquest into the death of the woman
supposed to be Belle Elmore Crippen, whose
body was unearthed in the cellar Of the
Crppen home following the Doctors dis
appearance, was opened today and subse.
uuently adjourned for one month. 1t de-
| veloped nothing at the first session.
Interest in the mysterious murder cen,
tered today in the inquest, at which It had
been hoped the physicians would be pre-
pared to describe the manner of death, anC
possibly make positive the ideptification oi
| the dismembered body.
| The formal evidence adduced added moth
| ing material to what was already general!
known. The experts were not able to stat,
I definitely whether the boneess mass o
| flesh found undtr the cellar floor was tina
| of a woman.
1t was decided to postpone the conclusion
o fthe inquest for one month in order L
give Dr. Pepper, examiner in surgery a
the Royal Army Medical college, opportun
ity to make an complete examination o
the pieces of flesh, and the police y con
tinue the thus far fruitless search for Grip
pen and Miss Leneve.
Several witnesses were heard.
John E.. Nash, a theatrical manager, VIII
first brought the matter to the attention
of the Scotland Yard officials, was one O
the more important witnesses.
CriUpen's stories Conflict.
Mr. Nash said that at the request
friends in America he took up the matte

Belle Elmore had died, although he ha
previously announced that his wife die

of death although he said he had his wife

At this point Inspector Dew OF ScotlaI
