PANIC NOW RElGNS IN
THE OPIUM MARKET

SHANGHAI, June 6.--Panic reigns
in the local opium market, the stocks
in the hands of the merchants having
deprecated in value $l0,OO0,0OO since
May |. The dealers, overburdened
with supplies, reiterate the complaints
of the Indian merchants that the culti-
walton of peoples in China is unabated,
in violation of the international agree
ment, while for months the markets OF
the interior have been closed illegally
against Indian opium.

There is, however, talk of a split in
the Missouri ranks, although this is
not confirmed as yet.
Convention authorities last night
announced that they have made ar
rangements with the police to maintain
order in case the Roosevelt forces on

of the Coliseum.
Plans for Bolt.
Tt was stated at the Roosevelt head.
quarters last night that the bolt would
probably come Immediately after the
vote in the convention on seating the
the contested delegates. This is be-
cause the Rooseveters believe that
should they wait until the vote upon
the nominees comes up, they will then
have paced themselves in the position
of having acted with delegates whom
they declare were chosen by trickery
and fraud, and will have. laid them
: selves open to the charge of having
bolted because they were beaten.
Opening Wedge.
The resolution by Governor Hadley,
providing that delegates whose right to
be present were contested, should not
be allowed to vote on his own case,
but might vote upon other contested
cases, was sent to the committee upon
credentials, which met behind closed
doors in the committee rooms. There
the fight soon became serious. 1t was
shortly after seven-thiry when the SEES
sion started, and three hours later, at
half-past ten o clock the watchers out
side the room could hear the racket
that was going on within rise to a
sharp crescendo, and then drop into a
lull, only to burst forth once more with
redoubied fury.
/ There came a tremendous pounding
upon the doors of the rooms, which had
been locked by order of the chairman
and soon after Francis j. Heney, of
San Francisco graft fame, broke out
into the corridor yelling at the top OF
his voice for the "newspaper men

to have been taxed to the limit to find
new ones to spread. For time II
was reported that the Missouri delega-

absolutely refused to bolt and would
formally launch Hadley boom on the
floor of the convention this morning
when that body met. This report was

The tumult that this created lasted
for forty-fve minutes, the hall being a
scene of pandemonium.
Governor Deneen of Illinois, when
quiet was restored moved TO amend the
Hadley resolution SO that no contested
delegates be allowed to participate in
sitting in judgment ON their own ease.

CHICAGO, Illinois, June 20. - The
long expected crash in the Republican
ranks came last night, when the Roose-
velters, acting it is said under the per
sonaI direction of Colonel Roosevelt
himself, began laying plans for action
independent of the convention. This is
accepted here as being only the fore
runner of still more drastic action
either today or Friday.
The rift which has been widening
rapidly of late became chasm late last
night when the Roosevelt members of
the credentials committee, unable to
gain their point, and rule out the con-
tested delegates until after the conven-
sion had voted upon the contests, walk
ed out of the committee room in person,
practically withdrawing all Roosevelt
contests, which had been scaled down
from ninety two to seventy eight.
These fourteen contests had been lost
to them.
BOLT BEGINS.
The boiling members of the commit
tee, after withdrawing from the room,
went direct to ex-President Roosevelt S
headquarters where the Colonel was at
work and reported their action. The
Colonel spent the rest of the night In
conferences with the leaders and fgur-
-ang on the number of the delegates
whom he could count upon carrying
with him out of the convention or into
a separate convention on the floor of
the Coliseum.
Friends and acquaintance of the
Colonel, who talked with him last night
and early this morning, declare that
Roosevelt asserted that he has no doubt
regarding the attitude of the creden-
ials committee toward the contests, and
is certain that it intended to seat the
contested Taft delegates no matter
what evidence might be shown against
them. He therefore resolved to go no
further in the futile fight in the regu,
lar convention.
For a long time the Colonel refused
TO see the newspaper men and make
formal statement for the press. He
replied to all inquirers that he had az
yet nothing to say, but would make his
position perfectly plain as soon as his
plans were matured.
MAY LOSE BoRAH.
The news of the intended bolt this
morning was received with acclaim by
the majority of the Roosevelt delegates
but some of the more prominent of tht
progressive leaders declined to make
any kind of a statement regarding theii
attitude toward the bolters. Senator
Borah is reported to have declared his
intention of remaining with the regular
convention.
There were thousands of rumors fly
reported formally that they would
start the fight for their Governor and
at present the floor leader for Colone
Roosevelt and warm personal friend
of the Rough Rider.
Report Denied.
When this report became noised
abroad the name of "Hadleyl Had
Ieyl'' was shouted through the streets
by choruses of delegates. just as tn,
sensation reached its height the report
was denied from Missouri headquarters

he is personally waging against the re-

iteratng his intention to drop out of

succeed himself as chief executive of
Hawaii. Prince Kuhio returned from
Washington yesterday morning on the

Hawaii for Taft.
The Hawaii delegation swung into
line for Taft ON the showdown yester-
day, on the resolution offered by Gov
ernor Hadley of Missouri, to elimin-
ate from the rollcall all contested
delegates. A motion to table the reso-
luton carried by a vote of 564 to $40.
Hawaii voted with the Taft forces.
The vote was Taft victory, the
President gaining five votes over the
showing of yesterday, and four not
voting.
Pennsylvanians bitterly resented the
words of Hemenway of Indiana, who
cast suspicion upon Finn, the Pitts
burgh boss and Roosevelt leader.
Finn himself led the demonstration
made by the Pennsylvania delegation.
Chairman Root subdued Finn. Mayor
Shank of indianapolis called Record of
New Jersey liar in the course of the
debate on Hadley's resolution, which
Record opposed.
Senator Watson, in finishing the de.
bate against the Hadley resolution, said
he believed that Hadley would consent
to refer the resolution to the Committee
