Unless the Lord build the house; they labor in vain that build it. Unless the Lord keep the city; he watcheth in vain that keepeth it.
 Grant, O Lord, that the ad- ministration of the new chief magistrate may rebound to the spiritual and material welfare of the commonwealth to the sup pression of sedition and anarchy; and to the strength and perpetu- ity of our civil and political in- stitutions.
 'I have been, O Lord, in my day 8 personal and living witness of the many tremendous upheav- als which threatened to rend to nation asunder, from the inaug- uration of thy servant Abraham Lincoln, even unto this day. But thou hast saved us in the past by thy almighty power and I have an abiding confidence that thou will be graciously with us in every future emergency.
 Grant that the proceedings of this convention may be marked by a wisdom, discretion, concord, harmony and mutual forbearance worthy of an enlightened and pa triotic body of American citi-i Zens''

Recall Tragedy Of
 LexingtOn'S Burning

the decks. Then all hope of saving the boat was gone and the captain ordered the passengers and crew to the boats. These were few and in the scramble the boats were upset and all were drowned. Not one soul of all on board; reached land but one sailor who floated ashore on a bale of cotton at Oldfield Light just west of Port Jefferson.
 He told of the terrible scenes en- acted during the panic on board dur ing the fire and of his suffering while soaked to the skin with the ice cold water of the Sound as he floated to his haven.
 Unavailing search was made for many years in an attempt to locate the burned hull but no trace of it was found until this week.
 The safe is said to contain a large amount of gold and other valuabIes and the captain and crew of the Ar gonaut believe that they have made a big hit by locating the old steam CT and clearing up some of the details of the tragedy.

CARDINAL GIBBONS PRAYER

Chicago, June 1O-Cardinal Gibbons's prayer at opening of today's session of the Republican National Convention follows:
 ''We pray thee, O, God of might, wisdom and justice, through whom authority is right ly administered, laws are enacted and judgment decreed, vouchsafe to inspire thy servants, the citi- zens of America, to elect a chief magistrate, whose administration will be conducted in righteous ness and be eminent1y useful to thy people over whom he shall preside, by encoura ging due re- spect for virtue and religion, by a faithful execution of the laws in justice and mercy, and by re- straining vice and immortality.
 May thy people always req lize the inspired truth, that righteousness exalteth a nation but that sin maketh a people miserable.' May they be e1ntt- mately persuaded that if our na- ton is to be perpetuated our government must rest, not on formidable standing armies, not on dreadnoughts, for the race is { not to the swift nor the battle to the strong May they be per- suaded that our government must rest upon the eternal prin- ciples of truth, justice and right eouSness; on downright honesty in our dealings with foreign na- tions and on the devout recogni- ton of an over ruling providence,

Accepted first by the conference of leaders, the Root plank later was given unanimous approval by the IS mbers of the sub- -committee.
 Senator Lodge had no statement to make when he emerged from the conference but he inm ediately went into consultation with Senator Wat son of Indiana, head of the sub-com- mittee, who, with Senator Smoot Of Utah, had been at work all night to bring the battling elements into har- mony.
 Quitting all endorsement of the pending league covenant the Root resoution provides for a new agree ment with other nations which shall include a tribunal for the settlement of international disputes. It was pre- pared by Senator Root before his de- parture for Europe but has been mod flied considerably by the sub commit tee.
 Although the sub- committee also approved today the Mexican and Ar nlenian blanks they decided to spend the day in putting the platform into final shape and to submit it to the full committee at f p. m It also was suggested that the convention might hold a night session to approve the platform and possibly begin work on nomina tionS.
 After the agreement Senator Borah said the unanimous compromise would be submitted to the full committee within an hour with every prospect of approval and that it was planned to present the completed platform to the convention at 4 o'clock.

Suffragists Intensity
 Convention Tickets

Chicago, June 10-Virtually devoid of hope that Republican leaders here will urge the governors of Vermont and Connecticut to call special legis- lative sessions to pass on the suffrage amendment, members of the National Women's Party prepared today to in tensify. their picketinE attack the convention. Tickets were sent out with banners calling upon the voters to ballot against the Republican party until it took more decisive ac- tion equal suffrage.
 ''The situation looks darker today than it ever has since we came to Chicago" Mrs. Abby Scott Baker de- clared. We shall sharpen our at tack from now or unless something is done. Our actions may lead to arrests, but we are ready for any emergency, for we are tired of wait ing.''

Thestragedy of the burning to the waters edge and sinking of the old Sound Steamer Lexington about sev- enty-ffve years ago, while on her way from New York to Providence with a cargo~of cotton and general merchan- disc and the loss of over a hundred lives, was vividiy called to mind to- day by the discovery of the hulk of the burned steamer at the bottom of the Sound in over a hundred feet of water by the new Lake Submarine Salvage Boat Argonaut II.
 The ArSonaut was exploring the bottom of the Sound between Middle ground and Penfield Reef Tuesday, when the observer discovered the hull a short distance ahead and signalled to the navigator in the boat over head to stop.
 Donning their diving suits the div CTS were lowered to the bottom of the Sound and carefully examined the hull. It was found to be that of an old steamer 200 feet long with old fashioned engines and a. boiler made of copper.
 The hull was so covered with mud and deep sea vegetation that it was impossible to make a thorough sur vey but a large safe was discovered among the debis.
 As the boat had been burned to the waters edge there was no name or other way in which she could be iden- tified by the divers. On his return to this city, however, the captain made inquiries and is convinced from an examination of the records of marine disasters on the Sound that the hull is that of the old Lexington.
 The story is that about 1S45 the Lex ington, a 20o-foot, side wheel steamer, was engaged in daily trips between New York and Providence. Coal was not then in general use as fuel and the steamers along the Sound all burned wood in their boilers.
 On very cold winters night in January the Lexington was making the trip to Providence with about 100 persons on board, including crew and passengers When opposite Bridgeport a fire was discovered in the boiler room. which quickly spread to the cargo of cotton. which covered

peril of a party split was over
 The compromise plank was describ- ed by Senator Borah as establishing these three principles for which the irreconcilables had contended:
 Omission of any pledge for ratlfl- cation.
 Commentator of the Senate for refusing to ratify.
 A statement that any future league must be in accord with American ideals and the principles of Washing ton.
 Senator Borah said that as the treaty plank had been approved by MT. Mills Ehe presumed it was also acceptable to former Senator Crane who was understood to have kept in touch with MT. Crane by telephone.
 The agreement was reached at a conference attended by Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts, the Republics Sen ate leader, and afterward Senator Bo- rah declared that Senator Lodge had taken a stand opposed to ratification of the treaty and would so state to the convention.
 tion soon after the sub-comm had begun what seemed likely to be a long and desperate struggle. It re- moved, subcommittee members said. the obstacle which had been holding lp the work of the convention and probably would permit final action by the convention on the platform at to- days session.
 The plank, together with the re- mainder of the platform, still had to be passed by the full resolutions committee, but the leaders expressed d every confidence that the work of the subcommittee would be approved virtually without change.

ciples which protect the liberty and independence of the people of the United States and which in no case shall be less effective in these respects than the reservations proposed and adopted by the Republicans of the Senate"
 plank relating to the peace resolu- tions, Mexico and Armenia follow: Peace Resolutions: We approve the action of the Re publican party in Congress in passing 8 resolution to repeal the declaration of a. state of war with Germany which would have brought peace and re- lieved the people of the burden of ths war measures and we condemn the presidents veto of this resolution.
 Mandate for Armenia: We con- demn President Wilson for asking Congress to empower him to accept a, mandate for Arm We commend the Republican Senate for refusing the presidents request to empower him to accept a mandate for Arme mia The acceptan nee of such a mandate would throw the United States into the very maelstrom of European quar- rels. According to the estimate of the Harbord committee, oreanized by au- -thority of President Wilson, we would be called upon to send 5000 American boys to police Armenia and to expend $276, ,00O, 900 in the first year and s756,- 900, 600 in five years This estimate is made upon the basis that we would have only rowing bands to fight, but in case of serious trouble with the Turks or with Russia. a force ex- ceeding 200, 900 would be necessary.
 No more striking illustration can be found of President Wilson's disregard of the lives of American boys or of American interests.
 We deeply sympathfze with the peo- pie of Armenia and stand ready &to help them in all proper ways but the Republican party will oppose now and hereafter the acceptance of a man date for any country in Europe or Asia.
 Mexico-The ineffective policy of the present administration in Mexi- can matters has been largely respon- s1ble for the continued loss of Ameri- can lives in that country and upon our border.
 For the enormous loss of American and foreign property; for the lower ing of American standards of nor aIity and social relations with Mexi- cans. and for the bringing of Ameri- can ideals or justice.
