The delegates to the Republican National Conven tion, gathered In the Coliseum on luesday, were cnllod to order by Senator Julluti Caesur Burrows, of Michigan, and the seventh session of tne party In Chicago had begun. The platform, which will be submitted to the Committee on Resolutions, and unless all predictions fall will be recommended for adoption la aa follows: Once more the Republican Party, In National Convention assembled, submits Its cause to the people. Thla great historic organization that de stroyed slavery, preserved the union, restored credit expanded the Nation al domain, established a found fi nancial system, developed the Indus tries and resources of the country, and gave to the Nation her sent of honor In the councils of the world, low meets the new problems of gov ernment with the same courage r.iui eapaclty with which it solved the old. In this, the greatest era of An-.eri can advancement the Republican Party has reached Its highest ser rlco under the leadership of Theo dore Roosevelt His Administration Ha an epoch In American history Under tne guidance of Republican rlnclples the American people have become the richest Nation In the world. ' Our wealth to-day exceeds that of England all her colonics and Ihat of France and Germany com bined. The United States now owns one-fourth of the world's wealth, and .vakes one-third of all manufactured products. In the great necessities it civilization, such as coal and mo tive power of all activity; iron, the shlef basis of all Industry; cotton, Ihe staple foundation of ull fabrics; jrheat, corn, and all the agricultural products that feed mankind Ameri ..an supremacy is undisputed. Nothing so clearly demonstrates "Jhe sound basis upon which our com mercial, Industrial, and agricultural iiterests are founded, and the neces ;ity of promoting their continued welfare through the operation of .tepublican policies, as the recent passage of the American people through a flnarclal disturbance. r4Ai - 'JVJi1 ARTHUR L. VORYS. V!ho started the Taft Movement in Ohio. The Republican Party declnres un equivocally for a revision of the tar x by a special session of Congrats umedlately following the Inaugura )n of the next President, and com mends the rteps already taken to :1s end In the work assigned to the ;jpropriate committees of the two ;0uses which are now Investigating r optratlon and effect of existing fhedules The Republican Party pas-ed th herman anti-trust law over Demo tatlc opposition, and enforced It af t Democratic ejection.

The Republican Pnrty nns been lor more than fifty years the cons'Ft ent friend of the American nero. It gave him freedom and citizenship. It wrote Into the organic law of the land the declarations thnt .proclaim his civil and political rights. We reaffirm former declarations that the civil service laws, enacted, extended, and enforced by the Re publican Party, shall continue to be maintained and obeyed. We Indorse the movement lnnu turated by the President for co-operative conservation of natural re sources. We approve all measure to prevent the wie of timber, and comme.-J the work now going o:i for the reclamat'cn of ar'.d lands. We adhere to the Republican doc trine of encouragement to American elilpplng, and urge such ipgls'atlon an will revive the merchant marine prestige of tne country so essential to National defence, the enlarge ment of foreign trade, ani the In dustrial prosperitr of our own eo p!e. Wo Indorse the movement design ed to secure the organization cf all existing National public health agen cies Into a single National health de partment, and favor such legislation cs will affect this -urpoe. Another Republican policy which must be ever maintained is that of generous provision for thoso who have fought the country's battles and for the widows and orphans of those who have fallen. FRANK H. HITCHCOCK. Taft's Campaign Manager. The American Government, in Re publicans hands, has freed Cuba, given peace and protection to Porto Rico and the Philippines, under o.ir flag, and begun construction of the Panama Cann!. Upon this platform of principles iu.d purposes, reaffirming our adher ence to every Republican doctrlno proclaimed since the birth of the party, we go before the country, ask ing not only the support of those who have acted with us heretofore, but of all our fellow-cltlzens who, regardless of past differences, unite In the desire to maintain tne poli cies, perpetuate the blessings, nnd make secure the uchlevement3 of a greater America. STAIPEI)E IMPROBABLE. Taft'g Managers Have Mutters Well In Hand and Do Not Fear. , Chicago, Juno 18. The absolute domination of this convention by the President was clearly demonstrated In Its opening hours. The only time the convention got sway from the Washington regula tions was when Senator Burrows, temporary chairman, declared that the power of the courts must not be curtailed. The greatest cheer of the day followed this declaration. Same things stood out like elec tric finres. The first is that there Is no real enthusiasm for Taft. When ever his name was mentioned it was cheered, but It was manufactured emhuslusm. The second is that the delegates are all for Roosevelt, but when his name was mentioned it was plain that the President held a burr bit on the enthusiasm. The real trouble of tlu. conven tion started when the platform drafters met. A long wrangle about the antl-lnjunctlon plank, woman's suffrage and othor Issues followed. There is no doubt that the bitterest light. of the convention will be over the antl-lnjunctlon plank. A poll says thut the President's wishes In this direction will be beaten by a score of 2G to 28, but this Irf not au thentic. There Is the bitterest kind of feel ing, and Speaker Cannon Is leading the antl-lnjunctlon fight. He has rallied strong support, and It Is con sidered probable that there will be an emasculated plank of this kind, If It Is not eliminated altogether. ' The developments of the day show do change In the nomination situa tion. It is probable that the name of the President will be presented to the convention, but the Taft mana crs have the matter so well lu hand that any stampede seems linprjba bio. if x-m ffmxt , AlDBOflH Covering Minor Happen ings from all Over the Globe.

MEAT PRICES JUMP, Porterhouse Steak 30 Cents Pound; Sirloin, 25 Cents. New York, June 18. Beef Is high er than It has been since 1902 at this tlmo of the yar, and the cost of oth. er meats has risen in sympathy. Por terhouse steak Is retailing at 80 cents a pound. Other steak And beef cuts ore proportionately high. Last Winter, just after th first effects of the flnaLclal panic had teen felt, it was reported that breed ers of cattle were unabb to get enough mone;- to feed their stock, nd that a larger number of cattle than usual fed mostly on fcrass the I receding Summer would be thrown upon the market. This as done and the market glutted. Then came the reaction. There were fewer cat tle In feeding than In former years, and the lemand for what there was raised the .rlce all along the line. The recent floods In the South and Middle West have prevented many sellers .rom bringing their cattle to market, and thus the supply has been still further curtailed ' for the time being. About this time In 1902 seme cattle sold as high as 18 a hun dred pounds on the hoof, and the av erage was about $6.60. The follow ing year for instance, the average price was $4.60 in June. The cause of the J 902 high prices was a corn lamlne. A dispatch from New York to a Chicago cattle paper said that whole sale beef men of the East are some what alarmed at the advancing prices of meat, but that the people of New York and adjacent country had ap prrently found some substitute for beef, since the demand was not as great as had been expected In view of, tho shortage of cattle. Produce men In New York say this substitute Is found In vegetables, which have been selling In much greater quantities In the last month or so than ever before at this sea son of the year. The vegetablo men declare that people who formerly had meat on the table once a day are now satisfied with iteat twice a week. l-Yom Florida in a Row boat. Annapolis, Md., June 17. George W.
