REPUBLICAN NOMINEES. Soma Stirring Scenes in the Quaker City.

Philadelphia, (Special.) Without a dia aeotlng Tot th Republican National Con vention rati fled tk nomination! of William McKlnley, ot Ohio, for President, and of Theodore Roosevelt, of Nw York, for Vioe f resident ot the United State.' The nominating speech for MoKlnley was made by Senator Joseph B. Foraker, of Ohio. Seconding speeches were made by Governor Roosevelt; Benator John M. Thur cton, of Nebraska) John W. Yerkes, of Ken taoky, Governor Knight, of California, and Governor James W. Moont, of Indiana.. Roosevelt waa put In nomination for Ylce Ptesldent by Col. Lafayette Young, of Iowa. The nomination waa seconded by Butler Murray, of Massachusetts; Gen. James M. Aafaton, of th State of Washington, and Senator Chaunoey M. Depew, of New York. At no time waa there any laok of enthusi asm. From the very moment the chairman announced that the time had arrived to nominate a President ot the United States until the convention adjoarned the proceed ing were chock full of excitement and In terest. All of the orations made were undoubtedly good, but few of th orntora had voices sufficiently penetrating torencb nil the bear er. Even Senator Foraker fulled to satisfy all, while Governor Mount, ot Indiana, be cause of his peculiar delivery, scored a dis tinct failure. the delegates entered In a solid stream and tprend out over tho seats reserved for them. The crowds were so absorbed picking out the men of nntlonal reputation that tbey forgot to cheer, and men like Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, Senator Davis of Minnesota and Senator Foraker of Ohio did I not get a hand as they took their places. meantime ton Land was playing popular airs and tho-scene was Impressive and ani mated. At noon Senator Hanna took his srai a th Chairman's table, and, although th,. was the hour set for railing the Convention, he watted a few moments conferring with Secretary Dick. Benator Woleott and others. Again Mr. Hanna was the centre ot at traction. He left the presiding officer's ta ble, and, stepping to the front of tbe plat form, surveyed tbe sea of faoes, and In a clear voice began bis speech of welcome. "In bidding you welcome," he began, "I also wish to congratulate you on tbe mag nificent representation from tbe Republican party." There was a round of applause as Mr. Hanna rolled out tb words "Itepubltcun party." There was no mistake In bringing tbe Con vention to Philadelphia, Mr. Hnnna went on. Here was the cradle of liberty, tbe birthplace of the Republic. Here also bad the Republican party seen Its birth, and bore, too, was tbe centre of that great, throbbing aide tbe protection of American Industry. Another wave of applause swept over the Convention at this mention ol tbe protective principle, and as It subsided Mr. Hanna pro ceeded: "We are on the eve of another great struggle. Already we are beginning to form our battalions, under tbe leadership of our great statesman General McKlnley." That was the signal, and for the first time tbe Convention broke forth In a whirlwind of enthusiasm. Men and women sprang to their feet, delegates, spectators, stnld and distinguished guests, all animated by a com mon purpose to do honor to the President. Senator Hanna looked down In smiling sat isfaction at the tempestuous demonstration. Flags and handkerchiefs waved everywhere In billows of colors. For 10 seconds, 20, SO, a minute, the demonstration kept up, and then, with a wave or tbe hand, the national chairman bid tbe assemblage resume their seats and let him proceed. "I was about to give the order for those s&4 li I .slll The President obtained one vote more than the Rough Rider, but this was due to the re fusal Of tbe latter to vote for himself. There was considerable confusion after tbe last nomination was made beoause of a general break for the open, and tbe chairman was glad enough to put the motion to adjourn. Tbe final adjournment came at 3.14 P. M., after session of three hours and 38 minutes Later the Kepublloan National Committee met and re-elected Senator Hanna chair man. FIRST DAY. Philadelphia. (Special.) At 12.38 o'clock Tuesday the Republican National Conven tion ot 1900 waa called to order, and thus th racking excitement of conference and caucus, of crashing bands and confusion of hotel corridors gave way to tbe deflniteness and form of aotual convention proceedings. The aergeants-at-arms and tb ushers bnd their bands full attending to tbe crowds. In the seats back ot the stage were many distinguished personages. Tbe leaders were slow In arriving, and it waa not onttl Benator Hanna put In an ap pearanoe at 11.46 that tbe enthusiasm ot the thousands waa uncorked. He got cheer as h moved up the centra aisle the full length of tb hall to th platform. General Grosvenor, the white-bearded old veteran, waa immediately recognized, and he, too, got a cheer. Benator Allison, of Iowa, the famous leader of his party in tb Senate, was among the early arrivals. Among th other mem tiers of the Senate on the stage were Hawley of Connecticut, Burrows of Michigan, Deboe of Kentucky, Cullom of Illinois and Bhoup of Idaho. Occupying prominent seats upon tbe plat form were 4 of th 14 men now living who were delegates to tb first Convention ot the Republican party held in Philadelphia, June 17, 18S6. All were members ot tbe regular Ohio delegation. Tbr of them were prom inent in tbe anti-slavery fight that led to the convention held In Pittsburg on February 22, 1866, which waa In reality tbe preoursor of the Philadelphia Convention, and these men, therefor, olalm to be among those who were ohlefly Instrumental In forming tbe Re publican' party. The three men who were first at Pittsburg and latter at Philadelphia are Judge Rush R. Sloane, Sandusky, O.i Gen. R. Brlnkerhoff, Mansfield, O., and Hon. George R. Trey, Springfield, O. Judge W. U upson, of Akron, O., waa nt tbe Phila delphia Convention, but not at that In Pitta burg. Cornelius N. Bliss of New York, got a scat tering of applause as he came In and took his seat with the New York delegation, and Senator Piatt of New York got a popular greeting. As the hour of noon approached battalions to move, but you Interrupted me," said Mr. Hanna, Jooularly, and the applause was turned to laughter. Again Mr. Hanna evoked a demonstration when, speaking ot the approaching campaign, he declared: - "And with such a leader and suoh a cause, there Is no such word as fall." As Mr. Hanna closed bis speech with a tribute to his colleague on the National Committee and a reference to the close of his chairmanship, be spoko of the sterling service of tbe Senator from Colorado. Mr. Woleott, to bis party and presented blm to the Convention as temporary chairman. Senator Fairbanks, from the first row ot delegates, arose and moved that the selec tion of Senator Woloott as temporary chair man be approved, and with unanimous voice the delegates so voted. Senator Woleott, who was on the platform, arose and came forward. The appearance of the Colorado orator set the Convention off like a rocket. It was a keynote speech ooverlng the legis lation which bad been placed on the statute books, and Its deepest note was the financial prosperity of the oountry and tbe legislation wbloh had made its continuation possible If tbe present Administration were continued in power. That was tbe theme to which th demonstrations of the Convention clung. At 12.07 the first pronounced demonstra tion ot tbe Convention occurred. Govern or Roosevelt came in through the main en trance and moved down the centre aisle. He wore his Rough Rider hat and was in stantly recognized. A deep reverberating obeer greeted blm. Men jumped to their chairs to eheer blm and women fluttered their handkerchiefs. Delegates crowded forward to greet him as he moved through tbe press, and his entrance, theatrical though it may have been, was like that ot a conquering hero. He took his seat imme diately in rear ot Senator Piatt and in front of Senator Depew. "Our Cbauncey " wbo has aroused the admiration of many a Republican conven tion, came In at the same time as Roosevelt. A noteworthy Incident of the session was the remarkable demonstration to Governor Taylor, ot Kentucky. That his party asso ciates look upon blm as a martyr to partisan hatred their great ovation made evident. Although they succeeded In bringing him to the platform, tbey could not lnduoe him to make a speech. Tbe appointment of the committees on permanent organization, platform, Ac, con cluded the labors of tbe convention for to day, and with the benediotlon of tbe Rev. Edgar M. Levy, wbo delivered tbe invoca tion at the convention held on Locust street in 1860, tb convention, after having been in session two and a bait hours, adjourned. SECOND KAY. Philadelphia, (Special). It waa an ex pectant audience of 18,000 people that as sembled In the Exposition Building to wit ness the second day's proceedings of tbe Republican National Convention. The an nouncement bnd been made thnt President McKlnley would be renominated, and dele gates were besieged by visitors who Sought admission In order thnt they might assist In the demonstration expected to follow the naming of the Republican standard-bearer. ho great was the pressure that hun dreds of additional appointments were made, tbe resident Phlladolphlans coming in for a share, and the great auditorium, with a capacity for seat ing nbout 10,000 people, contained nearly '.0,000. Thousands were compelled to fund and swelter, for under tbe blazing run tbe surcharged skylights became con ductors of heat which was distributed Im partially among the multitudinous throng. And there tbey sat, stood and sweltered, waiting for something to transpire so that they, in turn, could throw off some of tbe steam with which tbey were Impregnated. Those easily affected were satisfied, but the vast majority were disappointed. Senator Lodge's speech waa not suffi ciently catchy to attract his hearers, and then, again, bis voice fill I'd to fill the audi torium. He labored under the additional disadvantage of having to follow In tbe wake ol Senator Walcott and in being com pelled to ring in changes In his argu ment, It was a scholarly address, and if delivered In the United States Senate would have reoelved, as It deserved, tbe undivided attention of his colleagues Governor Roosevelt was again the stel lar attraction and his every move ment was watched. Tho only otbtr national personages who received recog nition were tbe Chinese Minister and Ex-Senator Quay, ot Pennsyl vania, tbe latter coming In for the lion's share ot tbe applause. From the time hlB name was mentioned until he took his seat the Pennsylvanlans in tbe convention, and their name wus legion, whooped things up. He did not find tbe same lavor, how ever, in the eyes of the Southern delegates, who hnve come to regard him ns their arch enemy. It was be who introduced the reso lutions prepared by National Committeeman Payne, of Wisconsin, fixing tbe basis of rep resentation In a National Convention ac cording to tbe number of rotes cist at the previous Presidential electloo. It this connection it may be stated thnt nt the meeting of the commltteo on resolutions a plank was offered pledging the party to cut down tbe representation of tbe Southorn States In Congress by deducting from the voting population those who were not al lowed to exercise the right of franchise. Tbe committee, however, declined to con sider it. The platform, as adopted, was read by Senator Fairbanks, but, like Chairman Lodge, he was unequal to tbe occasion, for no one heard what he said. Tbe only other happenings that aroused temporary enthusiasm were the announce ment by tbe Delaware delegation that Mr Addicks was their National Committeeman, and tbe presentation of several gavels to tho Chairman. The third day ot the convention will prob ably be continuous. It is to meet at 10 o'olock and proceed wltb tbe nominations ot candidate for President and Vice-President. LODGE 19 CHAIRMAN. Chosen to Preside Over Committee on Permanent Organization. Philadelphia, Pa., (Special.) The com mittee on Permanent Organization, of which General Grosvenor, ot Ohio, Is chair man, and Thomas N. Hastings ot New Hampshire, secretary, met after the ad journment of tbe convention, and, by unan imous consent, selected Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, for permanent cbalrmnn, and voted to continue Charles W. Johnson, ot Minnesota, as permanent secretary. The list of secretaries, olerks and other officials recommended by the National Com mlttee, was approved, and the commlttoe adjourned. FOR RELIEF OF FEKIN. Powers Firmly United Also as to Help for Tientsin. Berlin, (By Cable.) It is stated at tbe Foreign Office that the powers are united as to three points only In dealing with the Chinese crisis. These are the relief of Pekin and Tientsin, satisfaction for outrages and a guarantee from China that such outrages will not ocour In future. Advices from Berlin and St. Petersburg In dicate that Russia will oppose reorganiza tion of tbe Chinese Government, especially "a change In tbe head of the Government." A dispatch to th London Dally Mall from St. Petersburg states that the Russian Min ister of War, General Kouropatkln, ordered a mobilization of all the ' Siberian regiments of the line. Pekln is still out off from communication with the outside world. At Tientsin the fighting, at last accounts, was still proceed ing between tbe foreign forces and tbe Chinese. Whether the opposing Chinese are Imperial troops or Boxers Is not known. Rumors from Shanghai that 1,500 foreigners have been massacred in Tientsin are discredited. BAD TO CALL A CONVICT.

There Is no longer controversy as to the value of any Oovernment obligations. Every American do.lar Is a gold dollar or Its assured equiva lent, and American credit stands higher tbiiii tuat of any nation. Capital is fully employed and labor everywhere Is profit ably occupied. The American people, sustained by the Republican administration, have conducted and la victory concluded a war for liberty and human rights. No thought of National aggrandizement tarnished the high purpose with which American standards were un furled. It was a war unsought and patient ly resisted, but when It came tho American Government was ready. Tbe quick and signal triumph of our forces on land and sen bore tribute to tbe courage of American soldiers and sailors and to the skill and foresight of Republican statesmanship.

National Candidate Eleeted by n Large Majority Vote Falls Several Thou snml Iteloiv Ilie Iteglstatlon. Hnvnuu, (By Coble.) Gen.

The victory of the Nationalists Is chiefly due to the fact that tbey were first In tho Held and bad the benefit of a well-disciplined organization.

Senor Mora contends that he polled a majority of tbe voters lu the better class dUtrlcts and attributes the triumph ot the Nationalists to "fraud and the votes of the mob." Impartial judges attribute the outcome to hard work done by tbe Nationalist leaders. Gen. Rodriguez deollnesto outline bis plans, preferring to wait until tbe Havana charter has been made public, with Its definition ol h!a powers. , Mangled In a Kunawar. Hanover, Pa., (Special).
