McKiuley Again to Head tliu Ticket Itixiscvclt I loom Played Ilavixi With Other Slaii'i Aspiration for the Vice President lul Noin I nation. Pmi.ADKi.Pii ia, Juno 1!) Today, o:i the forty-sixth nuniversnry of the day on which General John 0. Fremont vns nominated by tho first Republican convention lipid nt Musical Bund Hall, on Locust stroot, in this city, tho Na tional Republican convention assembled in tho great Export Exposition build ing ia West Philadelphia. McKiuley again will head tho ticket. Foraker is expected to make thu nomi nating iqcec!i on Wednesday. The Roosevelt boom played havoc fi.r a time with tho names of other can didates for tho vico presidcutal nomi nation. Piiii.vdeu'iiia, Jnuo 1!). Governor Roosevelt gave out this statement: In view of tlio revival of thu talk cf myself as a vico presidential cumliilate. I halt-this tc my: It is Impossible too deeply to cxpr!- liow toni'luil I am by the attitude of those dele Kutes who have wished mo U tske this noiut tuition. Moretver, it is not nis'csxury tosnj how tliorouuhl.v 1 understand the hih hmioi nnd dignity of the olllcc, nn otliee so ldu'li nnl H honorable that It it well worthy the nuibi tion of miy man in the United State Hut wlnle I nppni'lato nil t ) it to tho full, nevertheless, I fwl most dcs'ply thnt field of nir Ix'st llsrfulnivis to the publio and to th( party is in New York state, und if the part) should see fit to renominate me for Bovernor 1 can in that position hulp thu national ticket us in no other way. I very earnestly ask that every friend of mine in the convention respect my wish and my judgment in ihls matter. The platform has been framed. It holds providence responsible for the Spanish war and the annexation id "our newly acquired territory," and promises Porto Klco and the Philip pines a liberal measure of home rule as rapidly n the people are fit to exercise It. it pledges Cuban Independence under a protectorate by this government at anon as the political conditions on that Island will permit. It asserts that the ilnanclal question and the tariff are out of politics, and that the people of this country owe their propcrlty to the pro tection of their Industries, to a etabk currency and a single gold standard ol value provided for them by the Itepub llcan patty. The Instrument is of considerable length. H begins by calling attention tc th promises that were made In the St. Louis convention of 1S90, and after pifhm rinllns them, declares that faith has been kept In almost every instance, as li shown by the statutes which the last t'ongross added to the luws of the coun try. Kspecial attention is called to the fact that the platform of lMKi promised that the country should be put upon th gold Manila! d and that this pledge hat been faithfully maintained. There Is a clear and distinct declaration for th maintenance of this standard, and tin resolutions ns so far proposed make nc reference to bimetallism. The resolution! also contain the declaration for a protec tive tariff. The plank on the Philippines Is prac tically in the language of tho President'! message, promising the restoration of or der nnd the establishment of authority In the Islands and the granting of local self-government so soon as tho Filipino show that they are prepared for It. tin the iu'Stion of trusts tho platform recognized tho right of capital to combine for Iniliisrial purposes, but condemns all conspiracies In restraint of trade and thti limitation of prices. There will be a declaration for an Isthmian canal rather than for a canal via the Nicaragua route specifically, pend ing the report of the commission ap pointed to Investigate. A demand will be made for tho condign punishment of crimes committed by American official In Cuba. Legislation for the restoration of the merchant marine will be indorsed. There Is a proposition to at least ex press t e hope, with reference to China, that that empire shall not be dismember ed.. A demand will be made for th protection of American missionaries nnd other Americans in China. The President's policy with reference to the Philippines Is endorsed throughout, nnd his conduct of the war with Spain is upheld in the strongest terms of com mendation and praise. The Prosldent'f course on the rtoor-Hrltish entanglement Is also endorsed and attention is called to the fact that under his guidance the I'nlted States has been the only Nation to offer mediation between the warring nations. The President also comes In for prn! became of his attitude In Tho Hague peace conference, and the administration is especially commended for Its position and Its accomplishment In the matter ol an open door In China.

The sentiment was not selid, how ever, as considerable Roosevelt feeling developed. Senator Scott wanted Mr. Klkins' naniH presented and tho matter will bo net tied on Mr. Klkius' arrival.

Secretary of the Navy Long, who with his wife arrived at Ins home in Iliughatu, said iu part iu regard to the vico presidential nomina tion: "I havo ever maintained that tho of fice is one which should not be sought.

" Asked if ho would commeuco au ag gressive campaign, ho replied: "No." He further said that whilo Mr. Ilanna may have his own candidate, he be lieved that tho delegates will be en tirely inde)H)iidettt in tho matter.

Itoiiiltardiiient Lasted For About Seven Honrs Two ItrltUli Waridiip Iteported Sunk A Number Killed on lloth Side During the Fi;litlii;. Br.iti.iN, Juno 19. Tho German con sul at Che Foo telegraphed that a Japa nese torpedo boat from Takn brought the following: The Cliinexe lnid torpedo: in the Tnkn river and collect eil troops from Hlnin Hei Kwitn. The foreign eomnmnder awenibled on the Iiii-ismn fl-ii,'-ihip nnd sddrcsscl an ultimn tum to the eoiniimnders of the Takii forts, summoning them to withdraw their troop before 2 u'eloek June 17. At 1 a. m. June 17, the mtnsnf the forts opened firn, to which the IIiiMinn, British. French nnd Jnmnese wor ships replied. The bomlmrdmcnt licd'-d seven hours.

Ten a. m Manila time the Ninth regiment has been or dered to Manila, whence it will pro ceed to China. Pap.is, June 18. A cablegram re ceived from the French consul at Hong kong did not mention the reiwrted murder of tho German minister nt Pekin or the reported destruction of the legations thero. Thu French consul at Tien Tsin telegraphed that the Euro pean detachments sent to Pekin were advancing very slowly. In the recent rioting iu Pckiu, the consul reported tho Boxers bnrued tho Protestant Epis copal establishments in tho Chinese, town. All was quiet in tho French concession. Washington, June 18. A third day passed here without a single line of news from any oilieial sourco respecting thu critical situation in China. Inquir ies or the cable companies showed that not only were the communications by wire with Pekin, Taku, Tein Tsin and all Northern China suspended, but the notices conveyed little encouragement for the hope that they would be soon re ojK'iied. Tho navy department made an effort to reach Rear Admiral Ketnpff on his flagship Newark at the Taku forts, at the month of the Pei-IIo river. A cable gram was uddressed to tho commander of the U. S. S. Yorktown, nt Chee Foo, repeating the messago indited to Ad miral Kempff lust Thursday, inquiring as to his situntion, tho conditions at Pe kin nt last report and into his need for more men aud ships, and directing tho commander to tnko tho message at once to Taku and return with tho answer. The department is now pretty well as sured that tho original messago never reached Admiral Kempff. The depart ment did not know whether thu mes sage to Cho Foo could be delivered, but made the effort. From Che Foo to Taku is only a single day's ruu for the York town, so that an answer from Admiral Kempff slionld be received by tonight, if Che Foo wtia reached yesterday by the Yorktown. Failing this effort, resort will lie speedily had to other measure s, if mean time word is not received from soineono in authority in China. Meanwhile, if the communications re main intcirnpted with Taku it is cer tain t! a a movement will le ordered tit once to Manila to despatch more naval forco or troops on tho transports, to re inforce Admiral Kempff and extend aid to the international relief column which, it was beginning to be feared, was itself in sore need of help. General MacArthnr probably would require a few days to preiMtre a military expedition, owing to tho inndvisability of reducing his present smnll garrison in Manilla. Even Admiral Remey may be obliged to delay sending shins, ow ing to tho absence of tho smaller craft suitable for such servico ns is required on scouting duty among tho islands of the iirchiiK'lago. Tho state department received nu merous telegrams from relatives and friends of Americans in northern China and Pekin, praying for news touching tho welfare of their friends. Mr. Led yard, of Detroit, father of tho wife of the German ambassador nt Prkiu. re ported to have Ihtii killed by the Box ers, wns one of tho most anxious of these inquirers, nnd ex-Secretary Alger was another, each intimating a willing ness to meet any expenso that might be involved in nn order from the de partment to some responsible officials near the scene of tho trouble to sccuro information by nuy means in their power.

Itcadjii-dnieiit of Price Puluted Ont a Looking Favorable --Wheat Ad vanced Iron .Market. New York, June Hi. R. G. Dun & Co.'b weekly review of trade, issued to day, said in irt: A season of dii-lininff prices is never wholly agrctblu to bu-incHM men whose stocki on band are Iomiii; jiart of their volume. Yet there are times when return to the highest pr(.-M-rity in hniincss is not possible except through rcndju-dnicnt of priccx. The highest prosperity tho country had ever reached, prior to the jianie, was in lstr, with prices avernjrinp not unite 75 per cent of their aver rrc in 1NM. After great depression f or sev eral years the highest point reached with lust year's recovery was so per cent, March 10, but the gradual yielding has already returned the general average of price to a shade less than 75 M-r cent, practically where it was with the highest prosperity in 1SW2. The output of iron furnaces June 1 was 2fl0, li'lt tons, nn increase of 2AX tons, making the yield only l.l.ti tons less than at the highest point ever reached, Feb. 1. But the increase of unsold stocks to 3HJI.4SO tons, alsiut H5.U00 tons in May, disclose a larger decline than was expected in the new business, upon which nearly all thu works and furnaces have now to rely, nnd reports that furnaces of considerable capacity have been alreudv closed thi i month seem likely to le correct. Within a week or two the lalMir organizations and the employers will be discussing new demands for higher wages and shorter hours, nnd the closing "f many works for lack of orders will have nmch influence about that time. Prices are gradu ally changing, anthracite No. 1 to IS) and Pitts burg forge, grey, 1.50. After the clone, forge to V17.SU, and sales of bars are reported there at 1.5U. After the closing of furnaces and works hns more nearly adjusted present sup ply to the demand, the fact that many large operations are held back until prices have been adjusted will have its proper influence. No further change appears this week In the wool markets, although their stagnation, with irrcguhir prici-s for goods beyond the most fa-von-d staph, still indicates a downward ten dency. Silk and hemp also have gone lower, and the recent fall in rubls-r helps new busi ness. Wheat has bi-cn advanced nearly 8 cents. Failures for the Hist week of June wore, In amount. Ii.ils.sl0, of which 1,WJ.S70 were iq innmiructuring and .H,:i,ii in trading con cerns. Failures for the week have been lfl2 in the United Ktntes, against l:W last year, and 21 in Canada, against l:t last year. TWO' MEN CRUSHED TO DEATH.
