 CHINESE TROOPS MUTINY,
 Picking, June 20.-The Chinese troops stationed in Mukden mutinied last evening, according to despatches from that city. Many natives were victims of their ferocity and hundreds of houses were destroyed by rowing bands of mutineers, while the jewellers stores were first footed and then burned. the general impression that Colonel Roosevelt would come to the conven- tion and make a speech; also there was considerable reason to assume from the morning newspapers that to- day would bring to pass the much dis cussed battle between the factions, perhaps a bolt of the Roosevelt ad herents; possibly an attempt to hold rival convention, simultaneously on tho floor of the same hall There had been tremendous addition to, almost 8 doubling of the police force on duty at the hall, and in the morning Chief of Police John McWeeny had taken personal command at the Coliseum. To the person uninformed as to the swift ly-changing developments of the day the promise of excitement was e.I- ceptiona1ly alluring.
 Convention Officials ApprehensiVe. The crowd which waited for the storm to cease was good humored but 1t was a situation full of possibilities, and the convention officials were talk Ing no chances.
 Assistant Chief Schuettler was loath to turn the people out into the storm. For a good deal more than half an hour police guard surrounded the ] platform and the convention officers kept their places on the stage, while the great crowd yelled itself tired. At last the rain began to slacken, and the police "got busy'' at once; gently. but gr1mly edging the people out. By that time they were ready 1 to go.
 Credentials Committee In Session All Night.
 ] In the Coliseum annex the creden- i tials con nittee was hearing the first l of the contests. It was word from the | committee that the work would not be | finished in time for any session to- | day brought about the quick adjourn ment. Whether business will proceed | tomorrow when the convention is call l ed to order at Il a. m. will depend l chiefly upon whether the expected all- l night session of the credentials con- mittee completed the work of pre- pairing the roll of the convention.
 "We Want Bob" YeIi La Toilette Men, 1 Senator Root smilingly bowed his acknowledgment when the crowd greeted with applause his appearance | on the rostun at few minutes after | four. No sooner had he called the convention to order than Taft floor leader Watson was again recognized to move an adjournment, until II i o'clock tomorrow to allow the creden- i tia1s committee to complete it's labers l The motion prevailed without objec- l tion and the crowd, disappointed, but good natured, began filing out.
 A Roosevelt enthusiast in the gal lery set up the cry We want Teddy as the crowd moved toward the exits The cry was taken up among the col | onefs supporters on the floor. Taft followers then started an opposition demonstration, a heavy downpour out side stopping the exodus. Not to be l outdone the Wisconsin delegation en- tered the competition with the cry We want Bob" The din was terrific
 New Jersey YeIIs for Freddy"
 On the floor the demonstration wa. led by the New Jersey delegation Some one there made an immediate response to the gallery man. ''W, want Teddy" they responded in cho. rus, at the same time lifting higf above their heads a picture of theil | candidate. In a minute the Roosevelt men throughout the hall were athril with enthusiacm and 300 or 400 mel among the delegates were shouting | Ia siast in the gallery, led the genera demonstration, using his hat as a, ba, ton.
 New Jersey added to the enthusiasm by repeating the state cry:
 Rah, rah, rah. who are we? "W, are the deIeg8 tes from New Jersee Are we in tt? Jes you walt "Til we give Teddy 2s straight"
 There were many interruptions br all were received good naturedly
 Teddy? He's dead" remarked Taft delegate as he passed througl the thickest of the Roosevelt throns
 Dead" He's the liyeliest corps you ever saw was the reply from Roosevelt champion.
 When are you going to bo1t?" ask ed another Taft man.
 Never if you purge the roll" wa the reply.
