 Chicago, June 19.-Immediately af- ter the chaplain had pronounced the invocation at the opening of the na- tional Republican convention, Gov. Hadley of Missouri carried the fight into the Taft camp for the Roosevelt forces by getting the floor and nov ing to amend the temporary roll of delegates
 William Barnes, Jr., of New York tried to get the attention of the chair man, but he was not recognized
 James Watson of Indiana was rec | ognized. He made the point that Gov. Hadley's motion was out of order be- cause the convention had not been or ganized. Chairman Rosewater ruled that he would hear arguments on the question.
 Gov. Hadley then took up the action of the Republican national committee in throwing out the Roosevelt con- tests and spoke 30 minutes He was followed by Gov. Fort of New Jersey, who spoke against the motion. After debate Chairman Rosewater ruled Hadleys motion out of order, and Hadley appealed from the deci- sion. Watson then moved to table Hadley's appeal, and Rosewater ruled both motions were out of order, and said he could do nothing but present to the convention the name of Elihu Root as temporary chairman. He then invited other nominations and Delegate Cochems of Wisconsin nominated Gov. Francis Edward Me Govern of Wisconsin,, the choice of the Roosevelt forces.
 Chicago, June 19.-With the Taft forces declaring they will organize and control from the start, the most sensational situation in American pol itics reached a crisis when delegates and guests began pouring into the big Coliseum for the fifteenth national Re- publican convention, which is to nom- mate a candidate for the presidency of the United States.
 Seated at one end of a private tele- phone wire in his apartment on the top floor of the Congress hotel, Col. Roosevelt will keep in touch with the progress of the convention and issue orders to his lieutenants.
 As against the claims of President Tafts managers, the Roosevelt camp issued a statement early that the former president had obtained suffi- cient delegates not only to take over the actual control of the convention, but to nominate its chief.
 This statement was made in the face of the declaration of the national committee and the administration forces that proposition of the Roose- welt forces that only uncontested del eeates should be allowed to vote on the temporary roll call would be turned down unceremoniously. With the tension of both camps at the breaking point, and with Roose- velt's followers infamed by a sensa- tional speech made by the former president Monday night, the outcome was matter for speculation. Even the most seasoned politicians, speaking privately. declared they did not know what the outcome would be.
 RooseveIt's Talk Presages Bolt.
 Roosevelt's speech, made to as many people as could crowd into the Auditorium, was believed to presage bolt. in case he fails to jam through the proposition that only uncontested not contested before the national con- mittee, $40 in number, should vote.
 He laid down two principles. He said the delegates whose selection he

ization of the convention or upon the settlement of the contests, and made it clear that he would resist it.
 He declared that no action of the convention based upon the votes of these ''fraudulently seated delegates would be binding upon the Republican party"
 Thousands cheered as Roosevelt de- olared he had made his fight fairly and sQuarely, and that he did not in- tend that his opponents should cheat him out of the nomination.
 Bribe Rumors Thick.
 Rumors of bribery by Roosevelt's forces were thick. Roosevelts man. agers denied the allegations and said they had enough votes to control with out resorting to bribery.
 A final roundup of the Roosevelt chieftains was held in Senator Dix on's room. It was said by those who participated that they were satisfied with the situation. The plans of the leaders were modified so that all sug- gestions of physical force to get con trol of the convention were aban- doned. At the outset, they said, they planned to make the fight entirely along parliamentary lines Several of those who participated in the confer ence insisted that even if they should not have control of any of the com mittees they would be able to nomi- nate Col. Roosevelt if they continued inside the convention.
 Not Bound by Committee.
 They declared that if they did so the colonel would not consider him.

decree of abdication will be of historic
moment. 1t reads as follows:
The whole country is tending to-
ward a republican form of govern
ment. 1t is the will of Heaven, and it
is certain that we could not reject
the peoples desire for the sake of one
family's honor and glory.
We, the Dowager Empress and the
Emperor, hand over the sovereignty
to the people. We decide the form Of
government to be constitutional re-
public.
In this time of transition, in order
to unite the South and the North, we
appoint Yuan Shi-kai to organize a
provisional government, consulting
the peoples army regarding the I'M
ion of the five peoples, Manchus, Chin
csc, Mongolians, Mohammedans, and
Tibetans. These peoples jointly con-
stitute the great state of Chung Hwa
Ming-kus Ga republic of Chlna)
We retire to a peaceful life and will
enjoy the respectful treatment of the
nation.
This was signed by the Empress
DoWager for herself and the little EN-
percr, by Yuan Shi-kai as Prime Min
lister, and also by the other Ministers.
On the day following the publication
of the decree, there appeared the first
of Yuan Shi-kai's messages as "Presi-
dent Plenipotentiary Of the Republic
the title which he now requests the
Powers to recognize. A part of this
message is also worth quoting:
Yuan Shi-kai, by virtue of the power
vested in him to establish a republic
can form of government in China, de-
Glars that, whereas the Emperor of
the Ia Ching ("Great Pure'D dynasty
has abdicated, China shall henceforth
be known as the Ching Hwa (Chinese)
Republic and will adopt a republican
form of government.
While provisional government is

are credited to foreign governments
shall act for the time being as diplo-
matte representatives, and shall con-
tinue to perform their duties as here
tofore.
While Yuan Shi-kai was doubtless
sincere in believing a constitutional
monarchy to be the best government
for China, he must have become i'm
pressed as has every one, by the I'M
expectedly widespread demand for a
republic. Whether under one or the
other governmental form, however,
this 'strong man of China" would
doubtless be the real wielder of pow

One purpose of the organization was
the erection of suitable meeting

The United States statesmen still
seem to fear the yellow peril and the
Japanese race in particular and with
every session of congress cry for
more battleships, greater coast de-
fences and greater activity along the
lines of militarism. The secretary of
the navy in his appeal to congress for
greater efforts brought the fact that
the United States would in less than
year drop below Japan in the matter
of naval strength. Billions of dollars
will have to be had from the nation
to keep pace with the warlords of Eu-
rope and thus free the nation from
the constant fear of being overcome.
Yet in spite Of this cry scarcely a Con-
gresham will listen to the growing de-
mand for an adequate ship subsidy
act that will build up the United States
auxiliary war strength and make the
matter of Dreadnaughts less of bur-
den. United States private shipyards
are busy each year turning out vessels
of superior skill and speed for foreign
concerns, giving the prestige to other
nations that once made the American
shipping power on every sea. Eng
land and Germany have made a study
of the subsidy question and the re-
suit is that many Americans are man
ming and commanding foreign vessels
and gradually losing that strong sense
of patriotism that has filled our his
tories full Of deeds of heroism. On the
western coast the Japanese are grad
ually absorbing the shipping of this
country with the Orient, not only TAX
ing away a bulwark in time of war
from vessels that can be subsidized
but taking many dollars out of the
commercial Golfers of the nation. 1t
may take a good sized war cloud to
brighten the nation into position of
wisdom.
