The Republican National Convention at Chicago
Names its Presidential Ticket Mid Scenes of In=
difference and Apathy Unheard of in National
Politics.
CHICAGO, June 23.— Without a distarb-
ing incident to impede smooth operation
the program for the Republican national
convention was carried out like clock work.
It was an assembly of non combative dele-
gates which carried into effect a purpose
that had been clearly defined.
An organization was perfected prepara-
tory to the adoption of a platform and the
making of j nominations in the succeeding
days of the convention. From the quiet,
yet unmistakable enthusiasm provoked by
Senator Fairbanks’ arrival at the coliseum
his nomination for Vice President was but
little less assured than the nomination of
Theodore Roosevelt for President.
The keynote to the campaign of 1904
was sounded by the Hon. Elihu Root in
his speech as temporary chairman. His
address was a review of the accompligh-
ments of the present administration and a
defense of Republican policies in general.
The lack of public interest in the con-
vention was evidenced by the large num-
ber of spectators’ seats vacant. Seats at
former Republican conventions usually
brought a premium. Speculators offered
them but there were few takers and as the
hour approached for the convention to as-
semble they sold them for a song.
The Fairbanks boom for the Vice Presi-
dency flourished unrestricted during the
convention proceedings. Its impetus was
gained when the Indiana delegation enter-
ed the coliseum and, led by the two Sena-
tors, Mr, Fairbanks and Mr. Beveridge,
proceeded down the aisle to their seats near
the stage. The ovation given Senator
Fairbanks was greater than was received
by any of his distinguished colleagues.
THE WISCONSIN SQUABBLE.
The report of the committee on creden-
tials interested the convention only so far
as it dealt with the Wisconsin situation.
Senator McComas, of Maryland, chairman
of the committee, read a report of the in-
vestigation of the committee. He took the
delegates into the confidence df the com-
mittee, and explained in detail that a thor-
ough canvass was made into the merits of
the contest, despite the fact thas the con-
testants had withdrawn their claims on the
Jronnd that fair treatment could not be
ad.
_ One of the remarkable features coucern-
ing the adoption of the platform was the
fact that it has been the subject of admin-
istrative scrutiny and national interest for
many weeks and was accepted without a
dissenting vote.
The platform was prepared at the White
House and whipped into literary shape by
Mr. Roosevelt's emissary, Senator Lodge.
The committee on resolutions had noth-
log to say about it. They were only so
many figureheads. No matter what ability
a member of this committee possessed,
his mouth was closed. The chief magistrate
has become a party boss and the delegates
took orders for fear of the consequence
of refusal.
Retrenchment Affects Clerks.
More Than 2,000 Will Suffer by Orders That Are to
Go Out.
——n
PHILADELPHIA, June 20.—Ag a con-
ference to-day between President A. J.
Cassatt and Assistant Comptroller Max
Riebanack, of the Pennsylvania railroad,
on the subject of reducing the clerical force
in the general offices of the company, in
this city, it was decided that economies are
to be accomplished by putting several hun-
dred clerks oa furlough, and by requiring
those retained in the service fo take va.
cations without pay. More than 2,500
persons are employed in the general offices
here and it is believed that more than 2,000
will be affected by the orders that are to
go out, .
Those who will go on furlough will re-
ceive no assurance of being taken back.
These clerks are in the auditing and similar
departments,
Other clerks, with the possible exception
those employed in the executive offices,
will, it is understood, be required to take
at least two weeks vacation without pay.
In effect that is equivalent to a four per
" red potion in salaries.
etrenchments decided upon for general
offices will be followed by iid Bone ab

ofhers for supplies are being closely soru-
nized and, in the majority of oases, re-
fused as notuecessary. In every depart-
ent orders have been given to cut down

Catholic University,
CHICAGO, June 19.—Promise of a great
Catholic university in Chicago was held
out by Archbishop Quigley in his address
at the laying of the corner-stone of the new
St. Vincent college to-day. The college,
be said, should be the beginning of the
university which should teach the highest
branches.
_‘‘This building,” said the archbishop in
his address to the throng in the college
yard, ‘‘is to be an institute for higher edn-
cation. I hope that the time will come
when the Catholics of Chicago will add to
this college a higher institution. It must
be a university which will cover the high-
est branches of learning. It is the object
of the church to cover the entire field of
education.”
‘night that a battle at Hai-Chen
Port Arthur has Begun to Totter.
Rumored that Japs Have One of the Outer Forts.
Said to Have Cost One Thousand Lives,
CHEFO00, June 19.—{ Midnight, )—There
is current here a Chinese rumor that the
Japanese have captured one of the outer
forts of Port Arthur, losing 1,000 men in
the engagment. It cannot, however, be
confirmed.
RUSSIA REALIZES THE INEVITABLE.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 19.—In Russian
naval and military circles the fall of Port
Arthur is now considered only a matter of
a few weeks. It is generally recognized
that the actual assault on the fortress will
ic the main be an artillery attack, and a
terrific one. The war has already cost
Russia over $150,000,000, and the daily
cost is rising rapidly. Port Arthur and
what it contains in ships, guns, munitions,
stores, fortifications and the rest are worth
at least another $150,000,000.
KUROPATKIN IN CHARGE.
L1A0-YaNG, June 19.—For the first
time since the beginning of the war Gen-
eral Kuropatkin has taken personal di-
rection of the operations aud in conse-
quence of his having assamed the offensive
results very different from those following
recent events are anticipated.
RAID OF THE RUSSIANS.
TokY0, June 15, 5 p. m.—The remark-
able raid of the Russians Vladivostok
equpdron evidently is over. The squad-
ron disappeared yesterday off Cape Ha-
nashi, steering to the north, and it bas not
been reported since. It is assumed to be
returning to Vladivostok.
Whether or not a portion of Vice Ad-
miral Kamimura’s squadron is awaiting
the Russians off Vladivostok is a care-
fully guarded secret’ Assuming that Vice
Admiral Kamimura dispatched some of
his vessels to Vladivostok when he learned
that the Russian squadron was off Iki
islands, these ships would have had ample
time to arrive there ahead of the Russians
and will be ready to give battle.
The weather became foggy and thus
conditions have been against the Japanese.
It is reported that the raiding Russians
captured a British steamer laden with coal
bound south from the island of Yezo and
sent her to Vladivostok witha prize crew,
but the report is not confirmed by the
Japanese navy department.
SOME LUCK DESPITE CAPTURE.
The transports Sado, Hitachi and Iza-
mi were the only ones overhauled by the
Russians. Japan had 13 transports in
and near the strait of Korea the morning
the Sado and the Hitachi were caught, and
she was fortunate that only the three ships
mentioned were overtaken by the enemy.
It is impossible to get complete facts
concerning the sinking of the Hitachi.
She evidently failed to stop when sig-
nalled to do so by the Russian vessel.
The claim is made that Captain Camp-
bell, the English master of the Hitachi,
refused to stop and planned to ram the
Russian, but this is denied. It is said
that the Japanese officers on board the
Hitachi declined to surrender and required
Captain Campbell to keep his ship going.
The assertion that the Russiauvs fired upon
the lifeboats in which men were escaping
from the Japanese transport has been fully
substantiated.
CRITICISM FOR JAP. ADMIRAL.
The raid of the Vladivostok squadron
has brought an unwarranted amount of
criticism npon Vice Admiral Kamimura
from the Japanese, and his failure to
catch the Russians in the fog off Gensan
off the coast of Korea when the Japanese
transport Kinshiu was sunk on April 26,
with a loss of about 200 men. has been
recalled.
Some of these even declare that, if Vice
Admiral Kamimura fails to catch the
Russian vessels before they reach Vladi-
vostok, he should either resign from the
navy or commit suicide.
The popular demand for his replace-
ment is growing, hut the public is with-
out information as to the nature of his
orders or the plans of the naval campaign
and fails to make allowance for the limit-
ation of conditions.
LACK OF GOOD LUCK.
Vice Admiral Kamimura’s squadron
was lying off Tsu island when the raiding
Russians reached Okino island. He im-
mediately started in pursuit of the enemy
but rains obscured the sea and [an electric-
al storm interfered with his system of
wireless telegraphy. Vice Admiral Kami-
mura is a splendid officer and the only
possible indictment against him is one of
lack of good luck. The Japanese gener-
ally magnify the importance of this Rus-
siad raid, which has no material effect
upon the war. It was a desperate ven-
ture, and it is believed here to have suc-
ceeded only through blind luck.
The Yawata and the Ansei, two sailing
ships, were sunk by the Russians Thurs-
day between Ko island and Okushiri is-
land off the west coast of Yezo and north
of the Tsugarn strait. Thirty seven sur-
vivors reached Esashi Thursday afternoon.
This makes a total of five Japanese ships
sunk or destroyed by the Russian raiders.
Russians Believe Two Armies will Unite.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 20.—The gen-
eral staff believes it probable that Kuroki
and Oku are meditating a combined at-
tack on Kuropatkin before he is further
reinforced. In order to do this they must
act before the rainy season, which is im-
minent. The war office points out that
since it was Oku and not Nodus who
fought Baron Stakelberg at Vafangow,
and that since Oku recently has been
directing the siege operations against
Port Arthur, the siege seems to have taken
second place in the plans of the Japanese.
There is a rumor in St. Petersburg to-
is actu-
ally proceeding and that there have been
heavy losses on both sides. There fis,
however, no confirmation of this rumor.
It bas developed that the : Japanese at
Vafangow had an accurate topographical
map of the whole battlefield and that their
batteries were connected by telephone.
The Japs’ Plans,
WASHINGTON, June 20.—An explana-
tion of the Japanese campaign on the Liao
Tung peninsula especially with reference
to Port Arthur is contained in advice that
has reached this city from a source believ-
ed to be absolutely reliable. The Japan-
ese tactics which have so puzzled the
Russians are intended to isolate Port
Artaur but do not contemplate an attack
on the place by General Oku’s army.
The actual work of reducing Port Arthur
will be confined to another Japanese army
under command of General Nogi, which
will be landed on the peninsula (and in-
deed may be landed) at a point south
of General Oku’s position and consider-
ably nearer Port Arthur.
On the first of June no less than twenty-
six transports bad been gathered at one
of the Japanese ports to embark this army
and it is probable that the vessels attacked
by the Vladivostok squadron were of this
‘number.

Japanese Armies Try to Unite,
Mikado’s Forces Keeping a Close Watch on Port
Arthur Both on Land and Sea, but Their Advance
Not Being Pushed 8o Hard. Firing Heard Less
Frequently. :
Liao YANG, June 21.—(Delayed in
transmission )—The Japanese army base at
Siu-Yen is evidently strongly established
along a line from Kai Chau to Yentai.
Rumors of a battle northeast of Kai
Chau are evidently correct.
The Japanese this week advanced toa
point sixteen miles east of Kai Chau but
retired.
It is presumed that General Oku is now
advancing to the north by the way of Fu
Chau and the coast road, thus enabling
him to obtain provisions from the sea.
CHEF00, June 22.—6 p. m.—While the
Japanese are keeping a close watch on Port
Arthur both on land and sea, their ad-
vance towards the fortress is not being
pushed so vigorously as during the early
days of June. Chinese arriving from
points in the Liao Tung peninsula say
that firing is not heard as frequently.
They report, however, that skirmishes,
the result of which they do not know, oc-
curred on the 14th, 18th and 20th of June.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 22.—The im-
minence of a battle in the northern part of
the Liao Tung peninsula is admitted by
the war office and is indicated succinctly
in to-day’s despatches from the Associated
Press correspondents at Lia Yang and Kai
ping and other points on the railroad.
The work of skirmishing around Siu Yen
retarded General Kuroki’s operations, thus
permitting General Stakelberg to reach
Kaiping, the rear goard slowly falling back
on Senuchen before the Japanese advance.
It is believed here that General Kuropat-
kin’s object is to prevent a juncture of the
Japanese armies. On the other hand, the
aim of the Japanese apparently is to drive
the Russians out of the Liao Tung penin-
sula preparatory toa maich on Liao Yang.
The approach of the rainy season will more
than likely precipitate matters.

The List of Dead Has Reached 845.
ner.
NEW YORK, June 21.—Evidence of a
startling nature, which donbtless will have
an important bearing on the ultimate ré-
sult of the coroner’s inquiry into the Slo-
cum disaster, was forthcoming at the in-
quest today.
Perhaps the most unexpected incident
was the continued refusal to answer ques-
tions of Henry Lundberg, a United States
steamboat inspector, who was supposed to
have inspected the life preservers and the
hull of the ill-fated steamer. His refusal
was based on the ground that an answer
might tend to incriminate him and he
acted on the advice of his counsel. The
coroner committed Lundberg to the house
of detention, but later accepted $500 bail
for his appearance at the hearing tomorrow,
which was satisfactory to the assistant dis-
trict attorney.
MISERABLE FIRE PRECAUTIONS.
Second pilot Weaver, of the Slocum,
testified that he had purchased the fire hose
for that boat, and Mr. Garvin introduced
evidence to show thas the price paid was
forty cents a foot, net, sixty per cent. or 16
cents per foot, net.
“Don’t you know that you can’t buy
good fire hose for less than a dollar or a
dollar and a-half a foot ?*’
‘‘I don’t know anything about the price
of hose’’ responded Weaver.
Weaver also declared that there has been
no fire drill on the Slocum this year.
Daniel O’Neil, who according to his
sworn statement had never worked on a
boat until he was hired on the Slocum a
short time ago, ad mitted that he had jump-
ed into a row boat filled with people from
the Slocum, capsizing it. Asked if he
saved anyone, he said there were others
there doing that and that be was not an
expert swimmer, He swan ashore himself,
however.
NEVER SAW A DRILL.
O'Neil declared he never saw a fire drill
on the boat. Referring to the efforts made
to throw water on the fire when it was first
discovered. O’Neil told of the bursting
of the hose. He ran and got the rubber
washing hose, but the coupling would not
fit the standpipe. This was some of the
sensational testimony brought out.
By the use of dynamite and heavy guns
fired by men from the second battery,
scores of bodies were brought up from the
bottom and the shores of North Brother
Island to-day.
FOUND 845 BODIES.
From sunrise to sunsets the searchers
along the beach and in the boats gatherad
in 112, bringing the number of bodies re-
covered to date up to the appalling total of
845. .
Of these 700 have heen identified and
the missing still are approximated at some-
thing more than 300. Many of the bodies:
last found will never be identified because
of the changes that have taken place daring
the week they have been under the water.
The Dead May Number. 1,000.
NEW YORK, June 22.—Although a week
has elapsed since the General Slocum went
to destruction on North Brother Island,
the bodies of ite victims continue to be
found in the waters adjacent to the scene
of the disaster. To-day thirty-seven
came to the surface, making the total num-
ber recovered 883. Of these 778 have been
identified. Despite the fact that the
police are bending every energy towards
getting a complete list of those who wens
on the ill-fated excursion, definite figures
as to the number missing canno$ be given.
From present indications, however, it is
apparent that the death roll will total
pearly a thousand.

Cows at the Worlds Fair,
The herd of Jersey cows assembled
at the World's Fair at St. Louis to rep-
resent the Jersey breed in the universal
dairy test has been inspected and has
been pronounced in perfect condition
and ready to start upon their six
months’ grind on a day’s notice.
W. R. Spann of the Burr Oak Jersey
farm, Dallas, Tex., was the inspector,
and he was thorough in his work. He
passed a week on the Exposition
grounds, and much of the time was
spent in and around the Jersey cattle
barn, and the condition of each indi-
vidual of the herd of forty cows was
definitely ascertained.
Never was more intelligent and care-
ful treatment lavished on animals. No
athlete was ever better trained for a
contest requiring the development of
speed, skill and endurance than has
been this herd of Jerseys. When it is
known that this herd is to compete
with selected herds of Holsteins, Short-
horns, Brown Swiss and Devons, and
the herd making the best score for the
production of butter, milk and cheese
is to establish the standing of the
various breeds, the importance of the
cows being in perfect condition may
be understood.
For a solid year the Jerseys have
been in constant training. Twenty-
five cows will participate in the con-
test. Cows were selected from the
best herds in the United States.
Dr. J. J. Richardson, president of
the American Jersey Cattle Club, un- |
der whose auspices this entry is made,
toured Europe and visited the famed
Isle of Jersey, where the breed origi-
nated. He was seeking the best cows,
but returned satisfied that Europe
could show no cows that were better
than those bred in America.
Though only twenty-five cows will
participate in the test, forty cows were
selected. They were assembled at
Jerseyville, Ill, a year ago. This is
near St. Louis, and the cattle have be-
come acclimated. Last December they
were removed to St. Louis. The cows
are the property of individual members
of the club and are loaned for the term
of the test. C. T. Graves, a breeder
at Maitland, Mo., was selected as the
superintendent to have charge of the
cattle, and he has been highly com-
plimented by Dr. Richardson and In-
spector Spann for the wonderfully fine
condition in which he has placed the
herd.
A series of model dairy barns have
been built for the breeds competing in ;
the test. The barns are octagonal in
form, and are so arranged that the
cows are in the center and a wide
promenade permits visitors to pass
around and view the cows as they
stand in their stalls.
The milking and feeding are to be
done in plain view of the public, and
representatives of the various herds
will at all times have access to all the
barns to see that no sharp practices
are indulged in.
The test not only consists in show-
ing the amount of butter, milk and
cheese produced, but the cost of pro-
duction is taken into consideration.
Every ounce of food given each cow is
weighed and carefully recorded. When
the cows are milked, the milk is con-
veyed to a model creamery in the Ag-
ricultural building, where it is tested
and made into butter and cheese and
where all records are carefully kept.
The Jersey cattle participated in a
similar test at Chicago during the Co-
lumbian Exposition and carried off
first honors. von
Superintendent Graves is sanguine |
over the result of the present test. He
says that the Jerseys have always
demonstrated their superiority over all
other breeds when placed in competi-
tion, and this time they will show to
better advantage than ever. Not only
is the Jersey milk richer in butter fat
than the milk of any other breed, says
Mr. Graves, but it can be produced at
a less cost. The Jersey cows are the
smallest of the standard breeds, and
he asserts that they consume less feed.
They assimilate their food, and it is
converted into milk and butter and is
not used ip building up and sustaining
a large carcass. :
“We are going to make all other
breeds take to the woods after this
test,” said Mr. Graves. “A few days
ago I was testing some of our Jersey
milk, and my hands were all sticky
and greasy from the enormous amount
of butter fat the milk contained. Mr.
Von Heyne, who is in charge of the
Holsteins, sent over a quantity of his
milk for me to test. Of course, from a
commercial standpoint, there was no
comparison between the milk, but it
was a pleasure to test his milk, for
when I got through there was no
grease on my hands. After this I
will have a bucket of Holstein milk
around handy to wash my hands in
after testing our own rich Jersey milk.”
The test begins May 16 and contin-
ues 120 days.

New Music for World's Fair.
Musical people and all who appreci-
ate good music may thank the World’s
Fair for three notable compositions,
written upon the invitation of the Ex-
position management. These are the
“Hymn of the West,” by the most
distinguished living American poet,
Edmund Clarence Stedman, the music
for which was written by Professor
John K. Paine, who is at the head of
the music department of Harvard uni-
versity; “Louisiana,” a march by
Frank Vanderstuken, leader of the
. Cincinnati Orchestra; a waltz, “Along
the Plaza,” by Henry K. Hadley of
New York, who has won his laurels
long before this as writer of operatic
and other musical compositions. This
music will be heard publicly for the
first time upon the opening of the Ex-
position on Saturday, April 30, and fre-
quently thereafter in the musical pro-
grammes of the greatest of world’s
fairs. These are the only official com-
positions.
Thirty thousand dollars will be given
in prizes for the best bands at a tour-
nament to be held during the Exposi-
tion. All through the World’s Fair the
musical feature will be prominent.
The most famous bands of the world
are under contract to participate dur-
ing considerable periods. Among these
are Le Garde Republicaine band of
France, the Royal Grenadier band of
England, the American National band,
Sousa’s band and others.

: Unique California Map.
A unique exhibit at the World’s Fair
was prepared by the agricultural de-
partment of the University of Califor-
nia. Itis a large map, so colored as to
show the character of the various soils
of the state. It gives a clear idea of the
situation and the extent of the arable
and untillable sections. In the locali-
ties that cannot be cultivated are
shown the Sierras, the lava beds and
the desert. The map indicates the lo-
cation of the cultivable portions of the
mountains and Mohave plateau and
shows the nature of the foothills and
valleys of that wonderful state.
Will Radium Cure Cancer.
From the Pittsburg Post.
It is announced from Vienna that a case
of cancer has heen cured by radium. This
ay be true, without it following that the
use of the new metal will prove generally
effective in cancer cases. Should it, how-
ever, be found beneficial in particular
manifestations of this disease it will prove
a hoon to many unfortunates. Just what
the real medical range of radium is will
probably not he determined for some time
te come. The earlier hopeful predictions
concerning it have been succeeded hy quite
pessimistic ones. The truth may lie be-
tween the two, and it would not be strange
if radium should finally prove of substantial
value in medicine and surgery.

Some Gems From the Hustler,
After reading the following gems of
mind and thought which were taken from
the latest issue of the Howard Hustler] you
will likely join us in wonderment that the
paper does not have three million instead
of only three thousand readers. .

The above is taken from the Bellefonte
Daily News, which we suppose suited the

push it through whether it suits the rest
or not. Talk about harmony in the party!

don’t cover them, and also that it will take
an active hand in this campaign as an In-

HAPPILY MARRIED.—Mr. Samnel S.
Taylor and Miss Katharine M. Lieb were
married at the home of the bride’s parents,
on Willowbank street,on Wednesday even-
ing at 6 o'clock, by the Rev. John Wood,
of the Methodist church.
Only the members of the families and a
few of their most intimate friends were
present to witness the ceremony, which
was very unostentatious. After an inform-
al little reception and a dainty wedding
supper Mr. and Mrs. Taylor were driven
to Milesburg to catch an evening train,
thinking they would escape the usual tor-
ments popular young couples are subjected
to by their friends. It failed, however,
for as they walked in at one side of the car
a dozen or more of their friends boarded it
at the other and were very careful to ad-
vise everyone on board that a bride and
groom had juss entered.
Mr. Taylor is a son of Mr. and Mrs. H.
W. Taylor, of this place, and is so well
known that no words of ours are necessary
as testimony to his high character. He is
in business in New York and has a home
already furnished for his bride at Washing-

The church was beautifully decorated
