Failed to Appreciate, aud Attacked Tholr Itollverere. WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. President McKluley's letter of acceptance of tho presidential nomination by the Repub lican national convention hus Just been made public. In purt it is as follow: Executive Mansion, Washington, Sept. 8. Hon. Henry Cubut Lodge, Chairman Notlllcatiun Committee. My Dear Sir: The nomination of the Republican national convention of June 19, l'JOO for the ollloe of president of thu .United States which as the official re presentative of the convention you have conveyed to me, U accepted. I have carefully examined the platform Adopted und give to it by hearty ap proval. Upon the issue of the last na tional election it is clear. It upholds the gold standard and endorses the leg Islatlonof the present congress by which that standard hus been effectively strengthened. The stability of our na tional currency is therefore secure as long us those who adhere to this plat form are kept In control of the govern ment. In the first battle, that of 1SU6 the friends of the gold standard and of sound currency were triumphant and tha country Is enjoying the fruits of that victory. Our antagonists, how ever, are not satisfied. Thoy compel ui to a. second battle upon the same lines on which the first was fought and won. While regretting the reopening of this question, which can only disturb the present satisfactory financial condi tion of the government und visit un certainty upon our great business en terprises, we accept the Issue and again Invite the sound money forces to Join In winning another and we hope a permanent triumph for an honest ilnanclul system which will continue inviolable the public faith. As in 1S)6 the three silver parties are united, under the same leader. In all three platforms these parties announce that their efforts shall be unceasing un til the gold act shall be blotted from the statute books and the free and unlim ited coinage of silver at 16 to 1 shall take Its place. The relative Importance of the Issues I do not stop to discuss. All of them are Important. Whichever purty is successful will be bound In conscience to carry Into administration and legis lation its several declarations and doc trines. The Republican party remains faith ful to its principle of a tariff which supplies sufficient revenues for the government and adequate protection to our enterprises and producers; and of reciprocity which opens foreign mar kets to the fruits of American labor, and furnishes new channels through which to market the surplus of Ameri can farms. The time-honored princi ples of protection and reciprocity were the first pledges of Republican victory to be written Into public law. Unless something unforseen occurs to reduce our revenues or Increase our expenditures, the congress at Its next session should reduce taxation very materially. A subject of Immediate Importance to our country 13 the completion of a freat waterway of commerce between the Atlantic and Pacific. The construc tion of a maritime canal Is now more than ever Indispensable to that intl mnte and ready communication be tween our Eastern and Western sea ports demanded by tbe annexation of the Hawaiian Islands and the expansion of our Influence and trade In the Paci fic. Our national policy more impera tively than ever calls for Its comple tion and control by this government; and It Is believed that the next session of congress, after receiving the full re port of the commission appointed un der the act approved March 3, 1S99, will make provisions for the sure accomp lishment of this great work. Combinations of capital which con trol tho market In commodities neces sary to the general use of the people, by suppressing natural and ordinary com petition, thus enhancing prices, to the general consumer are obnoxious to the common law and the public welfare. They are dangerous conspiracies against the public good and should be made the subject of prohibitory or penal legislation. Publicity will be a helpful Influence to check the evil. Uniformity of legislation In the several states should be secured. Discrimination be tween what Is Injurious and what Is useful and necessary la business oper ations is essential to the wise and ef fective treatment of this subject. Hon est co-operation of capital Is necessary to meet new business conditions and extend our rapidly Increasing foreign trade, but conspiracies and combina tions intended to restrict business, cre ate monopolies and control prices should be effectively restrained. We have been In possession of Cuba since the first of January, 1SU9. We have restored order and established do mestic tranquility. We have fed tho starving, clothed the naked and minis tered to the sick. We have improved the sanitary condition of the island. We have stimulated industry, intro duced public education und taken a full and comprehensive enumeration of the inhabitants. The officers have been chosen for all the municipalities of Cuba. The.e local governments are now in operation, administered by the people. Our military establishment has been reduced from $43,000 to less than 1,0o0. An election has boon ordered to bo hold on the Kith of September under a fair election law already tried In the municipal elections, to choose members of a conntltutlonal convention, and the convention by the same order Is to as semble on the first Monday of Novem ber to frame a constitution upon which an Independent government for the Isl and will rest. All this Is a long step In the fulfillment of our sacred guarantees to the people of Cuba. A district court of United States for Porto Rico has been established and local courts have been Inaugurated, all of which are in operation. The gener-. ous treatment of the Porto Rlcans ac cords with the most liberal thought of our own country and encourages the best aspirations of the people of the isUnl. While they do not have Instant free commercial Intercourse with the United States, congress compiled with my recommendation by removing, on the first day of May last, 65 per cent, of the duties and providing for the remor. al of the remaining 15 per cent, on the 1st of March. 1902, or earlier if the legislature of Porto Rico shall provide local revenues for the expenses of con ducting the government. During this intermediate period Porto Rlcan products coming Into the United States pay a tariff of 15 per cent, of the rates under the Dingley act, and our goods to Porto Rico may pay a like rate. The duties thus paid and collected both In Porto Rico and the United States are paid to the government of Porto Rico and no part thereof is taken by the na tional government. There has been no time since the de struction of the enemy's fleet when we could or should have left the Philippine arcnlpelago. After the treaty of peace was ratified no power but congress could surrender our sovereignty or alienate a foot of the territory thus ac quired. The congress has not sen fit to do the one or the other, and the pres ident had no authority to do either. If he had been so Inclined, which he was not. So long as the sovereignty re mains In us It is the duty of the execu tive, whoever he may be, to uphold that sovereignty and If It be attacked to suppress its assailants. Would our po litical adversaries do less? Tho American people are asked by our opponents to yield the sovereignty of the United States In the Philippines to a small fraction of the population, a single tribe out of 80 or more Inhabit ing the archipelago, a faction which wantonly attacked the American troops In Manila while in rightful possession under the protocol with Spain, awaiting the ratification of the treaty of peace by the senate, and which has since been in active, open rebellion against the United States. This would require an army anil navy far larger than Is now maintained In the rhilliplnes and still more In excess of what will be necessary with the full recognition of our sovereignty. A mll tary support of authority not our own as thus proposed Is the every essence of militarism, which our opponents In their platform oppose, but which by their policy would of necessity be established In Its most offensive form. Those who profess to distrust the liberal and honorable purposes of the administration In its treatment of the Philippines are not Justified. Imperial ism has no place In its creed or con duct. Freedom Is a rock upon which tho Republican party was bullded and now rests. Liberty Is the great Re publican doctrine for which the people went to war and for which a million lives were offered and billions of dol lars were expanded to make it a lawful legacy of all without the consent of master or slave. There Is a strain of ill-concealed hypocrisy iu the anxiety to extend the constitutional guaran tees to thu people of the Philippines, while their nullification Is openly ad vocated at home. Our opponents may distrust themselves but they have no right to discredit the good faith and patriotism of the majority of the peo ple, who are opposed to them; they may fear the worst form of Imperial ism with the helpless Filipinos in their hands; but if they do, It Is because thoy have parted with the spirit and faith of the fathers and have lost the viril ity of the founders of the party which they profess to represent. Empire has been expelled from Por to Rico and the Philippines by Ameri can freemen? The flag of the Republic now floats over these islands as an emblem of rightful sovereignty. Will the Republic stay and dispense to their Inhabitants the blessings of liberty, education and free institutions, or steal away, leaving them to anarchy or im perialism? The American question is between duty and desertion the American ver dict will be for duty and against des ertion, for the republic against both anarchy and imperialism. The country has been fully advised of the purposes of the United States In China, and they will be faithfully ad hered to as already defined. The nation is filled with gratitude that the little band, among them many of our own blood, who for two months have been subject to privations and peril by the attacks of pitiless hordes at the Chinese capital, exhibiting su preme courage in the face of despair, have been enabled by God's favor to greet their rescuers and find shelter under their own flag. The people not alone of this land but of all land? have watched and prayed through the terrible stress and protracted agony of the helpless sufferers In Pekln. and while at times the dark tidings seemed to make all hope vain, the rescuers never faltered In the heroic fulfillment of their noble task. We are grateful to our own soldiers and sailors and marines, and to all the brave men who though assembled tinder many standards representing peoples and races strangers In country and speech were yet united in the sac red mission of carrying succor to the besieged, with a success that Is now the cause of a world's rejoicing. Not only have we reason for thanks giving for our material blessings, but we should rejoice in the complete uni fication of the people of all sections of our country, that has so happily de veloped In the last few years and made for us a more perfect union. . The obligation of old differences, the common devotion to the flag and the common sacrifices for Its honor to con spicuously shown by the men of the North nnd South !n the Spanish war have so strengthened the ties of friend ship and mutual respect that nothing can ever again divide us. The nntion faces the new century gratefully and hopefully, with lncreains: love of coun try, with firm faith In lis free Institu tions, nnd with high resolve that th"y "shall not perish from the earth." Very respectfully yours, WILLIAM M KINLEY. Abbott llrcak Trnttng IliTi.nl. HARTFORD, Conn., S pt. 8.

WHERE DEATH IS KING. Terrible Effects of Hurricane Along Texas Coast. Oa1eiton ! Almost a Total Wreek While the Scenes Along the Coait tleg gar 1e.rrlptlnn, Dead llodiee Being Strewn All About Death Llat Will Ex ceed 3,000. HOUSTON. Tex., Sept. 11. Richard Pplllane, a wellknown Galveston news paper man and correspondent In that city, who reached Houston after a ter rible experience, gives the following account of the disaster at Galveston: One of the most awful tragedies ot modern times has visited Galveston. The city Is in ruins and the dead will number probably 1,000. I am Just from the city, having been commissioned by the mayor and citizens' committee to get In touch with the outside world und appeal for help. Houston was the nearest point at which working tele, graph Instruments could be found, the wires as well as nearly all the build ings between here and the Gulf of Mex ico being wrecked. When 1 left Galveston shortly before noon Sunday the people were organis ing for the prompt burial of the dead, distribution of food and alLecessary work after a period of disaster. The wreck of Galveston was brought about by a tempest so terrible that no words can adequately describe Its In tensity and by a Hood which turned the city Into a raging sea. The weath er bureau records show that the wind attained a velocity of 84 miles an hour when the measuring Instrument blew away, so it is Impossible to tell what was the maximum. The storm began at 2 o'cloc't Satur day morning. Previous to that a great storm had been raging in the gulf and the tide was very high. The wind at first cume from the north and was In In direct opposition to tho force from the gulf. While the storm In the gulf pile the water up on the beach of the city, the north wind piled the water from the bay on the bay part of the city. About noon It became evident that the city was going to be visited with disaster. Hundreds of residences alons the beach front were hurriedly aban. doned, the families fleeing to dwelling In higher portions of the city. Every home was opened to the refugees, black or white. The winds were rising con stantly and It rained In torrents. The wind was so fierce that the rain cut like a knife. In the meantime the wind had veered to the southeast. Very few. If any, buildings escaped injury. There Is hardly a habitable dry house In the city. When the people who had escaped death went out at daylight to view the work of the tern, pest nnd the floods they saw the most horrible sights imaginable. In three blocks from Avenue N to Avenue P. In Tremont street, I saw eight bodies. Four corpses were In one yard. The whole of the business front for three blocks In from the gulf was stripped of every vestige of habitation, the dwellings, the great bathing estab lishments, the Olympla and every structure having been either oarrled out to sea or its ruins piled in a pyra. mid far into the town according to the vagaries of the tempest. The first hurried glance over the city showed that the largest structures, sup posed to be most substantially built, suffered the greatest. CURIOUS TELEGRAM.

The North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, Captain Engelbart. dropped anchor here yester day. Captain Engelbart, speaking of the record-breaking trip by the Hamburg-American line steamer Deutsch land, said there had been no racing on his part.

He added that not having forced-draught like the Deutschland the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse could not get up ns much steam as the former vessel. The Kaiser Wll helm's averatro speed was 22:40 knot per hour. Itrtrret tlie I'rBTer-Clialn Art Ion. CHICAGO, Sept. 7.

CONXELLSVILLE, Sept. 7. 'fhe cit izens of llroadford, a cuke village ol this vicinity. Indulged In an exciting man hunt Tuesday night, and would have emulated their Southern cousins' methods of inspiring awe Into the law less with the aid of a rope and conven ient tree limb, but they had not count ed upon the ferocious appearance of tha desperado with whom they had at tempted to deal, and It required two peaceful bluecoats to induce him to go to Jail. The cause of the man hunt was a big Mexican with the euphonious name of Don Tro. While Mrs. John SchafTer was alone In her home at night Don Tro, armed with two formidable revolvers, forced an entrance, and, compelling the womun on the pain of a death befit ting the Ingenuity of the grandest Mex ican banderillo If she refused to act as his guide, Don Tro made a search of the house. His efforts were rewarded only by the acquisition of another revolver, then the Don, lisping a deprecating "Adios, senora," to the half-hysterical woman, disappeared Into the dur. new. The alarm was hastily given and In a few moments the whole town, armed to the teeth, was 4n pursuit of the flee ing Don Tro. When the pursuers, cry ing vengeance, came upon the Mexican they were brought, with a shocking suddenness, to the realization that they were up against the real thing in a cow boy bandit. Don Tro, wearing a typl cul sombrero, in which might euslly be concealed an arsenal, a vest that would have done any redskin proud, and the frayed buckskin trousers of the plains, stood with a revolver In each hand, and both were pointed at the crowd. He hurled defiance and oaths at his pur suers, and, awed by the terrible cos tume of their prey and fearing the ac curate target practice, of the vaquero, they decided upon giving the better part of valor the benefit of the doubt. So Don Tio disappeared Into the woods, whereupon the man hunt was called off on account of darkness. Filled with remorse and good intentions Don Tro decided to reform while among citi zens so peaceable, and accordingly sur rendered to Policemen Charles Bishop and Frank McConnick. He was held for court by Justice Crawford Still wagon on charges of currying concealed weapons und larceny. Mm liur's I'lea lor Her Hon. GREEXSUURG, tsept. 7.
