T -sHi: SHCKKT of the unex ampled munipn won ny Presilrtent McKlnley In n re- nomlnatlon conferred by spontaneous unanimity is twofold. It mijrht be accounted for to the H.UIsfae tlon of logicians by MiyiiiR that it came as the natural result of an exception ally s-ucrcssful administration, an ad ministration which has not only wit nessed and aided the progress of the nation from panic to plenty but which has also, thanks chiefly to Divine Providence, been the Instrument of bursting the fetters which had bound the lepubllc In a position of compara tive Isolation and of placing it fore most among the potvcis which shape the destinies of the human raie. The extraordinary achievements in both peace and war which stand to the credit of William McKlnley would have made him the logical candidate of his patty for the teuoiulnation yesterday conferred without dissent, but they would not ncccssailly have removed tlie elements of antagonism which In icry piovlous national convention have appeared against tin' man In power. It i the complete absence of opposition after tour years of giving out pationage which makes lem.irk nble the triumph of Major McKlnley .-.nil to account for It we must con sider the personality and temperament of the man; his absolute slnceilty lit nt of all; Ids wondeiful patience and self poise, his Instinctive kindliness and op timism, his clean chaiacter, puto pur pose and tact. The truth Is that It Is not posrlblo even for the politician who did not got what he wanted to say an unkind word against the man in tlia white house or to petslst In n pur pose of revenge. This personal factor In the presidential equation accounts for the unprecedented concurrence of all shades and types of public and party opinion In the piopriety of Mr. McKlnley's reuominatiou; and It sup idles also the largest element of hope for his re-election. Logic docs not al ways predominate In poll t let). Hood work is not always appreciated as It should be. Under Harrison the coun try was prospoious, but It denied him a second twin. Something more is needed to onllt the active Intel est of a majority of our citizenship. The can didate should be able and brave but lie must be warm-hearted and lov able. The people demand a leader who is of their kin. The contrast between Major McKln ley and Colonel Roosevelt Is striking but It is also fffei the in making the ticket popular. Wlieto McKlnley is steady, patient, self-rant tolled, lions,., velt is all action, animation and lire. Yet their differences are differences of temperament; there is no divergence in ideals. Each Is the complement of the other In Incorruptible honesty and honor; In faith in the btlghter side; in devotion to country and conscience. McKlnley's Js the suier hand, tlio steadier arm, the butter bioadened aiH ballasted mind: but ltoosoelt pie. emlnently typifies the neivous energy which supplies the motive power of American achievement, and ho is t broadening In Intellect and In self. command every day. The convention's , draft of him into n nomination he did not want icllects the Irresistible lm 'puIsiV of the nation; It was. In Its way, a tribute tiul as merited ami fully as human on the sldu of sentiment as was the unanimity for McKlnley. That It dofcated his own Inclination and am bition Is temporal lly his misfortune; but who can say that ilmu will not ntona? Hanna and Quay are too old at tho gamo to harbor tesentinents. They undoubtedly understand each other, tho former cspecliklly. Tactics That Recoiled. -TpHE ABSENCE of honest I comment on tho Roosevelt JL movement from tho columns of tho Philadelphia press, mor,u especially tho Wanamaker por tion of It, was a noticeable feature of tho t convention. It would seem that for no other reason than because Colo nel Quay ndvocatcd the Rough Rider's ; nomination, tho anti-Quay papers of jhe convention city took It Into their heads that Roosevelt had to bo treated 'like u pickpocket. And so they printed column after column calculated to .croato tho impression that Roosevelt had no mind of his own, that Hanna and the administration leaders Merc dlsguctecl with him, and that by his vnclllatlon nnd lack of ballast ho wns rapidly digging his political grave nnd piling dirt over his Implanted collln. They even invented Interviews with Hnnnn In which the. Ohio senator was quoted as having expressed most eon temptuouii opinions of Iloosevclt and as having tried to do Roosevelt's thinking and talking for him. As n matter of fact, the position which Hooseclt took and maintained was consistent throughout and lin could not have assumed n different one without Klvlng Just offense both to the friends of the other can didates for the vice presidency nnd to those liopuhllcuns who believe that the inajotlty will of n national convention has the force of law to every loyal partisan. Ho said he did not want to be the nominee for vice president; ho said he believed his best duty to party and country lay In nnother term ns governor at Albany; ho Implored his renl friends In the convention, those who were not using his name simply os a property of machination or in trigue, to respect his wish nnd Judg ment. More he could not, less he would not, do. Kor him to have as serted peremptorily that he would de cline If nominated would have been an insult to the will of tlio Republican party nnd would have Justified a charge of Insufferable egotism and stubbornness. Senator Hanna under stood Roosevelt's position nnd re spected It. The assertions to the con trarj were lies evolved from malicious gossip or wilful Intent to Injure. The president also understood It. Every body understood It who came In con tact with the chief actors of the drama or had the faintest insight Into the propiletlcs of such nn occasion. The 'Wanumukcr organs nlono tried to blackguard nnd defame the choice of the convention for vice president and the only conceivable motive they can possibly have had for doing so was the e'emented belief that by belittling Roosevelt they might minimize Quay. No wonder the convention, in disgusted recoil from such i.eurvy journalism, forced Koosovclt to run and gave Quay the one great personal ovation of tho session. The committee on torchlights and banquets at Philadelphia may not have achieved national reputation, but It must not be Imagined that they did not have any fun. Hot Water as a flotive Power. XPERIMENTS looking to the improvement of motive - i" tower In urban tapid transit ate piocecdlng at a rate which promises early In the twentieth century to revolutionize the modes of shoit distance travel. With liquid air. compressed air, stoiago battery and steam experiments the public is ul le.idy familiar, and now in a pamphlet Just icccivcd from a New York cones pondent, a new project1 is announced. According to tho ltifotmatlon which It sets forth, the Ktoiage Power com pany, a corporation composed of some of the principal railroad men In tlio country, lias for two ycats been expeil rnenting with the Prall system of heat ing hot Wilier to a temperature of 500 degiees and pounds piessure per squaiv '.Mil, stoilng It in tanks, which ate placed underneath tho car ft om which small quantities of water are taken In homeopathic doses through the medium of a measuring valve, which relenscs the water under this pressure and tem perature to the clearance space In the cylinders of a stnndaullzed engine placed on the trucks of the car, where it immediately flashes into steam and expends its forco ngainst the pistons. A car has been successfully operated under tho most ndverso conditions on the New York Central rallioad at a speed of 25 tulles per hour on up and down grades. As a icsult of these ex periments, a standard railroad coach is being equipped and will bhortly bo In operation on the same road. Tho efllcleney of the method has been fully established and only the working out of the system in actual practice re mains. Tlio chief claims made for this sys tem site the extreme simplicity of the generating plant which consists only of a standard boiler, nnd pump to teed it, and the fact that there is less weight and greater mileage duo to the utilization of all the available heat units instead of only about 33 1-3 per cent., as in the best of the other powers used In street railway service. In clectiicity and compicssed air there aie expensive plants to generate the power, and expensive wires and equip menl on cars bufoie it can lie utilized. In using super-heated water, tho power is turned Into woik at tho point of Its generation, i. e in the cylinders. This simplicity of construction and operation is the great advantage in view of the absence of tlio compli cated machinery necessary In elee ttlclty and compressed air. In addi tion to tlio simplicity of tho apparatus requlr.l, great economy Is claimed tor the l'tall system. The ,iamphlet Illus trates this as follows: Taking llic picture of mper-liciti'il vvjler nt .MM pouudi per MUirr inch, II will c.irry lse llnti-li tlinmal units pi'r I,eVi pound of water. It lus I mil prmid in nil ims of the bct fctram riikiuix. In locoiiiotltc! wllkc, Hut w It li tU.IKH) Itritla.li tlKiuul null, one linrf-puui'r mi driver can e pmdiiiod. This Likes into t oiililcratlii nil tlio luitlil londcimtlim l.iss, to'iilur ultli tlio heat gim up for actual uurk In the iy Under, Thus it will be xccii that utllllic the 450,000 JliitUli thermal units in the KMnoir, there would be tor ccry 1,000 pounds of water carried on tho car, at Iia-.t tnchf liorc-oucr hours. The standard auhmbin car to carry the requisite number of people for that character of work weighs 41,000 pounds fctaudard equipment and 3,000 pounds of water, together with roMT olraud motors would carry this weight to about 60,000 pounds. This would (The at lea.t thirty ell horse-power hours with n-ien pounds tractive efiort per ten on tho car with its load of loo passenKeis. A suburban car would opuale on one charco of hot water for one hour, with a Biirplus at a speed of forty miles per hour, and thcro are wy few niburban runs in the world that exceed forty miles. The tanks under the car may be charged with hot water In two mln utes. There is no doubt of the safety of the tjsteni, Inasmuch aa the prcssuie of &uo pound) per uuiare Inch is considered perfectly safe by mechanical engineers. Compressed air Is t.uc cesiftilly contained In tubes, or bottles, under a presume of 2,400 pounds per square Inch, nor Is there uuy difficulty In proldlnjf tanks which will retain the heat In the water sufficiently lone to make it cffccthc, as there are many known sub. stances which successfully limit radiation. Tho first real experiments In allow Ing hot water to give up Its latent heat within tho cylinder of the engine wero made in Washington In 1S0S, and were n continuation of experiments made In the transmission of hot water for power tried In tho streets of Now York and Uoston some years previous by William K. Prull. As the result of these experiments very broad patents were secured on the art of converting super-heated water Into working forco by charging super-heated wnter Into a cylinder In regulable quantities nnd tho successive expanding of wnter In tho series of cylinders. This Is tho fundamental basis of tho supor-hea'Joil water system, The development of this system ns contemplated In Now York city will certainly bo watched with Interest. The movements of representatives of tho powers In China will undoubtedly bo regarded with less apprehension by the world at large than they would have been contemplated under like circumstances a few years ago. The United States has demonstrated In Cubu that It Is possible for a civil ized nation to net unselfishly In tho cause of humanity. Rev. A. C. Jeffries, father of tho pugilist, says that "Jim will keep on with tho fighting business until ho gets licked and will then seek tho Lord." This Is the manner In which a good deal of religion everywhere has been brought about. An exchange Intimates that Japan's interest In the affairs at China are In part prompted by a desire to try her new urmy and navy. Senator Hilly iMason was on hand to supply sympathy for those In need; but tho opportunity ho longed for never came. Tho hurrah element at Philadelphia came very near forgetting that a president was to be nominated also. The Hague people must have been convinced ere this that It was a bad year for peace conferences. Tho Chinese government seems to be In league with the madc-to-order war dispatch writers. Roosevelt seems to have been tho victim of his own honesty. Canton, O., wishes to bo placed on the map once more. Incidents of the Great Convention Speciil Correspondence of The Tribune. Philadelphia, June 20. I wish I roulrl cxpn ) llic firt sensation which: assails one .it the view of this err it. convention hall. It is houielhing tliat.no nutter how- well piipaiisl jou may be for a wonderful scene, uu will be utterly stir priseel at the realitj. It is dimcult to imagine this picture. Per haps an idea would be had if the entile court he u-e square eould be coieeivcel as iineler eine great structinc, roofeel. It seems, chiefly with gla, Ho light It is, snd set airy. Imagine it hung in festoons of reel, white nti'l blue, with the colts of arms of the statci, with thousaneh of Hags, with ropes of green and the wimlovva wreathed In pdins, but this Isn't all the picture.

You will then realize that but for bihl beads anil ladles' hits a vast assemblage of many thousand persons would be extremely monotonous. To this the white lettering on the red and black placards designating the delegations adds a brilliance of color. As I write Marcus Atirellus Hanna Is opening the convention So admirable are the acoustic ptrpertles of tills colossal building and so un expectedly powerful is the voice of Mr. Hanna that every wonl can be hcarel to the uttermost corner. As he mentions the name of McKlnley men stand on chairs, thej wave flags and their hats, they jell, they almost weep witli excite ment; women wave hanelkcrchlcfs, fans, gloves, opera glasses ami occasionally sandwiches for one of the vagaries of this convention is the Ignoring of the luncheon hour. Mr. Hanna is Just as fat as the ni'uspiners represent hlui and he has just as many chins ami the sine soil of oirs.

Ills mmner is blind and ple.i-.aut. lie doses his remarks with "There is no such word as fall." 'I his Isn't original with Mr. H.iuna, but his imperative- appropria tion of it marks it for his own, and prnbibly hereatter the statement about "In the bright leicoii of joutb, etc.," will be understood as belonging exclusively to Mark A. llinna. He slU ilutifully through every session and listens most attentively. Senator Woleott Is pmbibly about the hanel-se.ine-t nun they eould have seleeteel for the decagon and tills convention is full of hanel some men. Henry I'abot Lodge is the most elegint looking man who has vet appealed on the platfcum.

The Pennsylvania delegation contains the few est bald heads; leniiessec has the most blaek- Inlied delegates; South Dakota sends mot clark-complexloiieel tepicsentativcs; District of Columbia has the most negro rldcgates, and Aruoni's mill have most braids. Hut speaking of ovations, there Ins been nolh lug like t;u.i.v's. An odd thing about tills le markable demonstration which was given when ever his name was mentioned was the stHintanr lly and the general expression of enthusiasm. It was not confined to 1'eunsvlvanla; it was not forced, not perfunelory; it was Just us Irre pressible as n cj clone. The platform, the ilele gates hv hundreds, the spectators all over the va.t building simply hunt forth In a great (horns of hand dapping, shouts, whistles and wildest delight. It rang out In a long and continuous swell of sound, half paused ami then broke into an outburst more vehement than be fore. There was n joung girl Just hick of the pi ess seats. She was a picture In white and red, a marrelous creation of accordion plaits ami filmy folds As the applause stalled In she raUed evervliody In the vicinity from Ids seat by a cry that was a crews between a warvvhoop and a eollege veil; then she wept softly until her veil wns dabbled with moisture. She seenieel to consider that nn explanation was due to the people nearby, as she remarked with u fliuli: "I live nut In Mr. (Quay's ellstilet, and I know him so well that I can't help shouting when I think how badly he has been lirated, and jet how- much the people teally ilo like him alter all," And those who lira id the maiden's little speech felt a thrill of sympathy. Ihat was the strarze tiling about It, Here was 4 man who had been called all the bad names In the language, who bad been persecuted to an unparalleled degree, whom people who SIEGE GUNS read certain papers must almost suspect of hav ing a clocen licof n man who hid nothing to fslc, whose palronaco is popular!) tiellcuil to lie n thing of the past a man. In short, who was supposed to be dead and here a Brent as KcmblAce, audi as is seen but once In a lifetime, pies half mad with excitement nt the slsrht of the modct flpurp In cray polnK down the nlsle, or nt the sound of his name spoken from the platform. It was a M-ene truly to be renum bered, nnd we, who were there, arc triad to re member It. All, except a few people.

The miseries of dyspepsia and bil iousness arc Hlce a load of democs. Kach misery has a dilTcrent name, but they all belong to one Ocudish family. And they all travel together. No use trying to get rid of any one of thtm by itself; jou can't thak'e olT a singles passenger. The only way is to rot the traces and quit the whole load at once. Headache, nervousness, constipation, mental depression, dizziness, dullness, lassitude, catarrh, slin eruptions, liver complaint and a hundred other com plaints are all caused either by a disor. dei cd stomach or sluggish liver or bowels. Put these three great life-supporting functions in regular condition and all the horrible symptoms will disappear together. That Is what Ripans Tabulcs do. That is why they completely cure every form and symptom of biliousness and indigestion. They cure tho severest long-standing cases which have been pronounced " in curable." They enre after everythtnr; else has failed. They cure so that yon ttiiy cured. The most skeptical people, whose sufferings had caused them to lo;e all faith in medicine, have been cmred and convinced by EtIPAHS TABULES. There is no other remedy for dyspepsia and constipation so absolutely perfect and certain in its action. They are more than a mere relief. They impart new organic strength and tone to the stomach and lire entire di gestive tract so that digestion becomes a natural and ca.y process. They are the prescription of a tegular plnsician ; ami are recoci mended by the roo'st skill ful doctors in the world, as perfectly mild and harmless, yet absolutely cer tain in their effect. They arc specially valuable as a regnlator anel preventive for people of ttelentary occupations, particularly women.
