REPUBLICAN NATIONAL GATHERING
AT PHILADELPHIA.
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.

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. Two British fhiw in the river Ix twi en
the fortn are re)MrtM to'h:iee been sunk.
The telegraph lino and railroad bctw-i-cn Tien
Tsin and Taku wero di-xtroyed. Ciinnnunii a
tion by water is also threatened.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Cheo Foo, dated yesterday afternoon
said:
"The forts on both sides of tii Taku
are now occupied. The Chinese opened
lire unexpectedly. The casualties to
tho mixed forces wero as follows:
Killed British, 1; German, il; Rus
sian, l(i, nnd French, 1. Wounded
British, 4; German. 7; Russian, 4.'), and
French, 1. Tho Chinese torpedo boats
wire seized."
Manila. June 18. 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.

TUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
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.
