Some eight hundred delegates to the National Convention, as many more al ternates and thousands of spectators and politicians assembled in Philadelphia last week and this, for the purpose of nominating a Republican National tick et. President McKinley's nomination was unanimously conceded, and therefore the sole talk and scheming was regard ing the Vice Presidency. There were several candidates for the nomination for Vice President, neither McKinley or Hanna would give the slightest intimation as to who they pre ferred, and Messrs Piatt of New York and ynay of Pennsylvania set aliout to force the nomination of Gov. Rosevelt of New York, against his will and wishes. Rosevelt is a prospective candidate for President four years hence, and he feared to offend the big state bosses, but gave out the following statement:— "In view of the revival of the talk of myself as a vice presidential candidate, I have this to say; It is impossible too deeply to express how touched I arn by the attitndaof those delegates who have wished me to take this nomination. Moreover, it is not necessay to say how thoroughly I understand the high honor and dignity of the office, an office so high and so honorable that it is well worthy the ambition of any man in the United States. But while I appreciate all this to the full, t nevertheless feel most deeply that the field of my best usefulness to the public and to the party isin New York State, and if the party should see fit to renominate me for gov ernor I can in that position help the na tional ticket as in no other way. I very earnestly ask that every friend of mine in the convention respect my wish and judgment in this matter." "But still the villians pursued him." Tuesday noon, four acres of human ity, estimated to number sixteen thous and came to order and silence when chairman Ilanna rapped for order in the big convention-hall in West Phila delphia. The Convention was opeDed with prayer and then Senator Hanna greeted and welcomed the delegates in a short speech, and introduced Senator Walcott of Colorado as Temporary Chairman, who made a long speech on the issues of the day. Gov. Rosevelt came in and received an ovation, ex- Gov. Taylor of Kentucky also received an ovation, the roll was called, the com mittees were appointed; Rev. Levy, who was cliaplain of the first Republican Convention held in Philadelphia, forty four years ago. led in prayer and then the Convention adjourned till next day. Yesterday the Convention met at noon, the reports of the committees on credentials and resolutions were receiv ed and accepted; Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts was made Permanent Chairman and ('has M. Johnson of Min nesota, Secy, and tbe Convention ad journed till 10 a ni. te sur rounded by an immense army of Chinese. <»n Tuesday the Russian army was rejiorted to be at the walls of Pekin, and attacking it, but no word was re "ceived as to the fate of the Europeans within the city The British govern ment was ordering troops from India, and the Japanese was also sending for ward troops At Washington the situ a tion was considered very grave. Yesterday the relief expedition was reported at the gates of Pekin, and the legations still safe. Illrtinlity I'arty. A select birthday party was given by Miss Etta Wadsworth of Slippery rock twp. in honor of her sister, Margaret, on June Ifl, 1000. The guests liegan to arrive at 7 p.m. and by x o'clock they were all there. A very pleasant evening was spent and just as the clock struck 10 thev marched to the dining room for refreshments, len cream, cake, straw berries. lemonade, oranges, etc. were served in abundance.

Now that our Ceutennial Celebration has come and gone and lieen a wonder ful success, a reprint of the notice of the first meeting in its favor as it ap peared in the CITIZEN of Oct. sth. 18' JO, is of interest — CENTENNIAL CELEBRATK >N CERTAIN. Probably fifty citizens assembled in the court room, Friday evening, at the call for a public meeting to take the in itial steps preparatory to Butler Coun ty's Centennial Celebration. On mo tion of R C. McAboy John H. Negley acted as Chairman, and"stated the pur pose of the meeting, viz deciding when we should celebrate and selecting a committee ou preparations. Jas. M. Maxwell and C. M Heineman were chosen secretaries. Lev. McQuistion moved to celebrate in 1000 ami John Mitchell seconded. J. D. Mcjunkin moved to amend in favor of 1003 and J M Greer seconded. After discussion by Walter Graham, Jos. Vanderlin, Wm. Findley, Win Forquer, W. B. Dodds and others, the amendment was withdrawn and it was unanimously decided to celebrate in 1900. W. A. Forquer then moved that a general executive committee of ten for organization lie appointed, with Mr. Negley as chairman. This committee to add to itself two good men from each ward, borough and township in the county, to appoint sub-committees on finance, entertainment, music, program, etc., and to select a date for the celebra tion The executive committee is to meet at the call of the chairman and continue the work W T hat time they will select can only lie guessed at. We suggest the long, balmy days of June as the most pleasant and convenient time for the county as a whole. More meetings followed and at the large one held in the Y. M. C. A. in November, the Chairman was authoriz ed to appoint an Executive Committee. This he did, and they served faithfully, and their names and portraits appear aliove. But they were not the only men who aided materially in making the celebration a success; Committees on Finance, Relics, Invitations, etc.. were apjiointed all whom did their whole duty. In onr issue of last week we noted the proceedings of Tuesday and Wednesday and make below a note of Thursday s proceedings; THE TlilitD I>AY. On Thursday morning (June 14, 1000) the weather was threatening, but dele gations of firemen from all over the country liegan coming in, and by 10 o'clock the Diamond and that part of Main street were crowded. Each dele gation was headed by a band, and there was plenty of music. The Evans City delegation was the largest, best dressed and best drilled. Chairman Neghy called the crowd around the speaker s stand to order and introduced Rev. J R Coulter who said this was a great occasion,that the great est mistake of a man's life was not Is itig bom in Butler county, and then ! went on to sjwak of the rise and pro gress of the county. Rev. Cotilter is well up in years, and very feeble physi eally, but he made a great speech. Col. A. Blakely followed Rev. Coul ter, paid him quite a compliment, and then told stories of his early days in Forward township, where his father had a distillery, the second story of which was sometimes used for church services at which Rev. Black presided. His story of the little Isiy in Allegheny who ended his prayer one night with the words "and now dissl bye dood Dod, for we are going to Butler county for six weeks" was heartily enjoyed by all who heard it The weather continued threatening and Rev. Roth deferred his remarks mi til after dinner, but, had to leave town; James M. Galbreath.Esq. said he would save his for the next Centennial, and Josiah M. Thompson speaking,hut the rain came on and the audience sought shelter. After dinner the Sun shone brightly and the Fireman's Parade organized in the following order. Old Firemen on horseback. An auto-mobile. Gcrmania Band. Chicora Hose Co. in uniforms, and hose cart, Prospect Band. ICvans City (Irwin) Hose Co. in very handsome uniforms (red and white) led by Kvans ('ity band. Maccabees Band of Butler. Ist Ward Hose Co. Good Will Hose Co. in grey Springdale, light blue. Kau Claire Band Campbell Hose Co., dark blue East End Hose Co.. white Good Will Juniors. Rescue Hook and Ladder Co. Markham Hook and Ladder Co. Harrisville Drum Corps. Kninmer's Rough Riders First Settlers. (,'onnty < >flicials Advertising wagons, etc After a parade a great crowd went to the Fair Grounds where the boys had races of all kinds, a note of which is made in another place; and at the Speakers Stand on the Diamond Josiah Thompson finished his sjieeeh, and i speeches were made by Col. Willis Hul I ings of Franklin, who told of the expe j dition to Puerto Rico, during the Span | i*h war, and the campaign there J W 1 Lee of Pittsbnrtf spoke on the oil devel ojieuients and A. L. Campliell of Petro i lia gave some facts regarding the Butler I county oil fields, and a* nobody else | cared to Hjieak. that ended that part of I the program. [ That evening the Firemen paraded, with red fie. and the Fire Works dis play (by the Paine Co. of N. Y. was the | best ever seen in Butler; thousands | crowded to the Ball Park,and thousands 1 more saw it from the streets and hills, j The set pieces "Welcome, ' "1800 1900" I and "Good Night. were something new for Butler and the Centennial <>f the year l'.HKj ended in a BLAZE OF GLORY. Centennial Notes and Visitors. Mrs Samuel If. Crawford of Em leu ton and Mrs. Vallie Sloan of Allegheny • twp. were here last Thursday. They are daughters of John Welsh, dee d, who was Sheriff of Butler county from IH-J7 to 1830. and they were born in the old stone jail. They are now well up in years, and both widows, but they watched the procession, talked with old friends and enjoyed the occasion. Mrs. Rebecca Walter, whose spinning in the Telegraph Office was noticed by everybody , is a woman of 80 years, and she is a sister of John Flemming, dee d, who was killed in Butler some years ago by a drunken Italian. She saw and talked with Massy Harbison, when she 1 was a girl of abont N years, and Massy lived on the island at Freer ort. Mrs. Walter has been a widow for 25 years, j her husband's name was Daniel, and j she now lives alone at Great Belt. 1 John Kavlor of Kaylor was here, and had his father Andrew's pocket-book, l)onglit in Connellsville in 1817, the claw I of a bear be shot himself, some Conti i nental money, and srKentucky bill of | 1 852. Maj. F. C. Negley of Pittsburg is in i his 70th year. He left Butler in j anil has resided in Pittsburg since. His charming wife, nee Dixon, accompanied liim. Two Pittsburg deteetives. employed : by I. J. MoCandless, Chairman of the 1 Finance Committee, watched the rail road stations, gave three "crooks" five j minutes each to leave the town and locked up a stubborn one; and there was not a dollar lost during the Cen tennial that we have heard of. i v Though our hotels did a tremendous i business there was very little drunken I j Our liverymen cared for thousands of I rigs without losing or misplacing a sin , gle one. The triek bicycle rider sometimes had a larger audience than the speaker, and he is a wonder. During license court this week. Col | Thompson asserted that he had seen more drunkenness in the harvest field in one day than lie saw in Butler during the whole three days of the Centennial The issues of the CrrizKN of June 7 and I t and this week give a pretty fail idea of our Centennial Celebration, and we will mail a copy of each issue in a single wrapper to any one address for ten cents. At the meeting of the Executive Com mittee, Monday evening, the proposition to have Miss White's stenographic re ports of the addresses put in long hand and published in book form was dis cussed, and the decision, (owing to a lack .if funds) was against it. A very good likeness of Louis Stein, Sr.. deed, appeared in the show window of L. Stein A- Son, and this with the relies made one of the most interesting exhibits in town. Two good portraits of John Negley, Sr. dee'd appeared in the show windows of J. N. Patterson and J. Boos. Of all the decorations for the Cent.cn iiia! none were handsomer than those of (»eo. W Whitehill for his new three story stone front on Main St. His show window contained a mill scene, his win dows were neatly decorated with bunt ing while at night his whole front was illuminated by colored lamps, and <' lii nese lanterns. Col. Hillings was the only speaker who referred to the number of pretty girls in town and lie spoke truthfully. There's any number of pretty skirls on the hills and in the valleys of Butler county -pretty as you'll find anywhere and their grand daughters will be at the next Centennial. The Janitors of the school buildings did their best for the for the people who made the school buildings their head quarters. Kxhibiting the relics HI the show win dows was our original idea, and it wax carried out, though the Armory Hall had been rented and decorated for that purpose. The Souvenir. Sim Nixon's letter and Le»nder Wise's Poem, with the ar counts in the Weekly and daily pajiers constitute the literature of the ocean sion; and you want to save some for the next Centennial. Peter Keifer, of Pittsbufg born and raised in Butler and now flit years of age. He left Butler in lH4fl and has re. sided in Pittsburg since, and came up to see the < criteiinial and his relations, and was the guest of his sister Mrs. Hannah Wuilerof Franklin St. KItKATA As everything in But ler was hurry and confusion last week there were some mistakes in the paper the name Rev Thomas I}e)l in the proceed nigs of Wednesday should have been Key.

DK.\R FKIK.VDS ONK AND ALL: Owing to so many inquiries in mail received from my friends at home in re gard to my trip from New York to Man ila I concluded to write it as near cor rect from the start as possible and send it to the Butler Citizen which 1 know has a large circulation Leaving N. V. harbor at I p. m , Nov. 4. we started on our long journey to Manila, by six o'clock 1 was sea-sick, be ing tny first experience, I felt almost dead, it soon wore off and only came back when we struck heavy seas. Be ing miles to our next port we did not see land till Nov. I f at about KJ-.ttO a. m. We anchored in the harbor,wilra tes were exchanged after which the officers went ashore You know this is the greatest fort in the world, there is a gun placed there each year so it won't !><• long till there Is- IMOO powerful guns situated on a solid Mt. of rock. You have all no doubt seen the picture of Gibralter, although that would only give yon a faint idea of its strength. N'ov. 10 at p m we started for Mnl ta which is !/0M miles from Gibralter. We were cheered by thousands of Eug lish soldiers as we passed out of the bur Imr. The bands exchanged National airs and again we were fast, leaying sight of land which was Spain, Gibral ter and the northern part of Africa, on the afternoon of the 17th. we passed the island of Velita owned by Italy where she keeps her convicts. It looked from the transport to !»• a very nice place, Nov. I!) we arrived at Malta about day break, after pulling into the harbor we were received with much admiration. Many salutes were fired after which we saluted. This was a beautiful place though the houses looked very strange, being of white stone ami all built to gether The fort here has more guns than Gibralter but hasn't the protec tion it has a cruiser once in the harbor would have very little chance of escape Next our whole regiment went ashore for a dress parade, we had on brand new uniforms and only wore our belts. We received some very finecompliuients from English officers. That afternoon a liegt. of English soldiers left the bar bor for South Africa Nov. 2ii we start ed for Port Said 1112 miles nnd after an uneventful trip of :{ days we arrived at Port Said the mouth of the Suez Canal. We stopped here long enough to take on a pilot and electric machines for our night trip through ihe canal. It was a rather slow trip, as a vessel is not allowed to run over 1 miles per hour We grounded once on a bar but soon pulled off. when daylight came all we could see was the yellow candy desert us far as tin- eye could reach, with the exception of a few thistles and an oc casional bunch of bushes, droves of camels could be be seen cros-iing along, also a few naked Egyptians who ran along the shore begging for clothes, money or most anything. We reached the town of Suez about noon Nov. 2H, after stopping long enough to let the pilot off. We soon found ourselves far out in the I{ei| sea. the water has a black appearence and what I saw was far from being red. Some time next day we passed Alt. Sinai the place where Moi-es received the Ten ('ocimandtneiits On the afternoon i>t the lilst we passed what is called the 12 Apostle Hocks, they were only 12 large ,\lts. of rock in a straight row, as land was not in sight it has always kept me guessing how they got there. The first of Dec. we arrived at the city of Aden, the natives here U'ing more uncivilized than any we bad seen, and of a very small statue Here we took on coal, we left next a. m. land could lie seen throughout the day though none of it seemed to l>e in habitafed. We soon entered the Indian ocean passing the Malacca Islands On Dec !i we could see the coast of Ceylon and by 10 a in. we had arrived at Colombo the principal port and town of Ceylon. I was ashore for 5 hours here and saw very many interesting sights, the natives had large ring" in their ears arid nose* and I took notice to some with what I would call a rivet, right through the end of their nose After going all aronnd town in a cart hauled by a native I returned to the boat and on Dec II we left for Singa jsire 1,500 miles distant, arriving there at about noon Dee, Hi, I was ashore here anil alxiut the only difference I saw from < 'olombo was more ('hinese and .laps The upper class have small two wheeled buggies and use the lower class for horses t<> pull them around,lots of our boys got into ride behind the two legged horses, t hey would start »IT on a trot which would equal thai of any or dinary horse and keep it up. Thus far we had a very pleasant trip having no deaths and very little sickness Dec. 's we left Singapore for Manila miles distant, on the morning of Dec "2 lights could be seen in Manila Bay so thiekly that we thought we were entering the city though it Was evening before we found ourselves among a fleet, of Ameri can Iron Clads. we were now lying where Dewey did his deadly work Dec _•:» we were unloadeii into cascoes taken up the Pasig river to San I'edro, M crest i, wh*-re after a few light skir tuishes we were moved to what is call ed Gutldluppe Ridge we lay iu the trenches for a week and then were brought bark to Manila to board the I ran-port I lam nek for our present post. 1 am enjoying soldier life very well but will be slad to get out of the heat which is very intense over here. Well' friends this was to lie on my trip so as I am jfetting off the subject I will have !to close, remaining your far away , friend, CORP. I. A. MIRPHY, Co. C. 47 Regt Manila. P. I.
