Cortelyoa Elected Chairman.
Chicago, (Special). Amid the most
Inspiring scenes and in a tumult of
enthusiasm Theodore Roosevelt and
Charles Warren Fairbanks were nomi
nated for president and vice president
pf the United States by the Republican
National Convention, and the great
work which called together over 1,000
delegates from all parts of the coun
try was brought to a successful and
glorious end.
No one could complain of a lack of
enthusiasm the last day of the con
vention, for stirred by eloquent ora
tory the convention spent a day in
genuine enthusiasm seldom indulged
in, even at a national convention.
The great Coliseum, on Vahah
avenue, was crowded to overflowing,
and hundreds were content only to
ctand.
The delegates, as well as the crowds
fortunate enough to hold admission
tickets to the convention hall, were
on hand early, for the session was
to be called to order at to o'clock,
and for over four hours the vast
throng that riclled the Coliseum from
cellar to roof gave itself up to un
restrained enthusiasm and joy.
Greetings to the distinguished men
of the party as they entered the hall
were as warm, if not more rnrdinn
than on the proceeding days of the
convention.
PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
HEPCBLICAN NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT.
It was 10 o'clock when the In
diana delegation came in. Kyes were
scanned for Senator Fairbanks, and a
great reception was awaiting him;
but with the same modesty he lias dis
played throughout the entire conven
tion he remained at his hotel and did
not come to the Coliseum to hear
the shouts rnd witness the enthusiasm
which was aroused by the presenta
tion of his name for the vice presi
dential nomination, Governor Dur
bin, who is likely to succeed Senator
Fairbanks in the United States Sen
ate, and Senator lieveridge, who was
to make the first speech seconding the
nmination of Theodore Roosevelt,
came in arm in arm with the head of
the Hoosiers anil received the cheers
held in reserve for Fairbanks.
Uncle Joe Cannon, however, was
the one to receive the preliminary
ovation, and when he stepped for
ward to rap the convention to order
the great throng burst forth in a
mighty yell, which could not help
but please the old man. Uncle Joe
laid aside the croquet mallet given
him to use as a gavel, and instead he
wielded a small and useful gavel, and
not only rapped on the presiding of
ficer's tabic, but at one time during
the excitement when the convention
was in a delirium of enthusiasm he
pounded the gavel on the floor of the
platform.
No time wa.- lost in getting at the
real work of the day. A few notices
were read to the delegates, the most
important being the call of the meet
ing of the new national committee
after the adjournment of the conven
tion. Amid applause. Secretary of the
Convention Molloy began the rail of
States for nominations for president
of the United States. Alabama, called
first, yielded to New York, and ex
Governor Frank S. lilack arose in his
seat amid the New York delegation
and made his way toward the plat
form. Instantly the entire delegation
from the F.mpire State was on its
feet, each delegate unfurled a large
American flag, which apparently came
from some unseen place.
Speaker Cannon, in his own unique
way, introduced Illack, but the lat-
Sympslby With Salvationists. 1
London, (By Cable). King Edward'
received General Booth of the Salva-1
tion army at Buckingham Palace and
discussed the forthcoming internation
al convention of Salvationists. Staff
Commissioner Pollard submitted 10
His Majesty information regarding the
work of the Salvation Army. King
Edward displayed special interest in
everything relating to the work of the
army in behalf of the poor, and on
carting with General Booth expressed
I)is sympathy with his work.
Officials Sail for Pastas.
New York, (Special). Chief En
gineer James Findlay Wallace, who
will have charges of the construction
of the Panama canal for the United
States government, sailed for Panama
on the steamer Allianca. With him
went Dr. W. C. Gorgas, chief sanitary
effcer, and Drs. J. M. Carter and Louis
A. L. Gard, of the United States
marine hospital service. There also
went on the same vessel a number of
nurses, who will join others now en
caged at the hospital at Panama.
ter was not allowed to begin his
speech for some minutes, as the dele
gates and crowds in the galleries
wanted to cheer, and they did. His
glowing tribute to the man he was
nominating was listened to with rapt
attention.
It did not take long to call the
roll of states for the vote on the
president. As the clerk read the list
of states r-nd territories, the chair
man of each announced the unanimous

delay being caused by the applause
given on the announcement , of the
number of votes cast by each delega

nouced the unanimous vote for Theo

United St ites, the turmoil of euthusi-
asm which greeted his name when put
in nomination was repeated.
Pandemonium broke lim-e again
when speaker Cannon announced that
in the convention there were 004
votes and 004 had been cast tor
Roosevelt.
The nomination f a vice president
did not take long, for in less than an
hour the eloquent speeches by Senator
Dolliver, in nominating Fairbanks,
and those of Senators Depcw and
Forakcr, Governor Pennypacker and
ex-Senator Carter were all made and
cheered to the echo.
On motion of half a dozen states

First Day.
Chicago, (Special). The thirteenth
Republican National Convention,
which is to nominate President Theo
dore Roosevelt for President and
Senator C. W. Fairbanks for Vice
President, opened at noon Tuesday.
The seats of delegates were well filled,
but in the body of the hall there was
room for 50 per cent, more spectators,
and the galleries were not more than
one-third tilled.
The hour set for the Convention to
begin was noon, but the noon hour
found Acting Chairman Henry C.
Payne of Wisconsin, gavel in hand
waiting patiently for the delegations
to find their places before calling the
Convention to order. Shortly after
noon special messengers were sent
out through . the large hall in the
effort to get the delegates seated
With three severe raps of the gavel
Mr. Payne finally called the Conven
tion to order at I2.l( P. M. lie made

prayer.
After the applause had subsided
Chairman Payne in a few words ex
pressed thanks for the table. lie then
said;
"Gentlemen of the Convention
The National Commute bus selected
for your temporary Chairman lion.
Flihu Root of New York."
There was another shout from the
Convention, which was prolonged
when Governor Odell of New York
rose to move that the action of the
National Committee be approved. It
was at once adopted by the Conven
tion. Simultaneously with former Secre
tary Root's appearance at the speak
er's table an immense oil painting of
President Roosevelt was unveiled at
Ins right. The tableau brought forth
a burst of enthusiasm.
Mr. Root was greeted with re
newed cheers as he advanced to the
speaker's stand. "Mr Chairman," he
said, "I am deeply" another burst
of cheers cut him off. "I am deeply,"
resumed Mr. Root, when quiet was
restored, and this time he was per
mitted to proceed. His speech was
a long and thorough review in detail
of the achievements of the Republi
can Administration of McKinley and
Koorevell since the last National Con
vention. It occupied an hour in de
livery Mr. Root had hardly struck his
stride when cries of "Louder!" were
heard. His voice soon gained power,
however, and his well-enunciated
words rang well through the still hall.
Reverential silence prevailed as the
speaker alluded briefly to the assas
sination of President McKinley, and
again applause as his successor's re
cord was reviewed.
When Mr. Root said, "With Mc
Kinley, we remember Hanna," there
was a demonstration, the delegates
standing.
When Mr. Root had concluded the
Convention unanimously approved the
recommendation of the National Com
mittee, aliowing Porto Rico two dele
gates and the Philippines six dele
gates with two votes.
A call of States was then ordered
to obtain the names of members of
the various national committees. At
its conclusion the Convention ad
journed until next day.
Second Day.
Chicago, (Special). The second day
of tile Repubican National Convention
at Chicago was marked by the adop
tion of the platform, the settlement
of the Wisconsin, Delaware and other
contests, tlu cutting of Hawaii's repre
sentation to two delegates after a live
ly debate pnd a characteristic speech
by 1'crmant.nt Chairman Joseph G.
Cannon.
The platform of the party for the
next four year, a document of more
than 2.500 words, was presented by
Senator Lodge of' Massachusetts,
chairman of the committee on resolu
tions. The tariff plank declare for
the "cardinal principles of protection,"
and further, that the "rate of duty
should be the difference between the
cost of production in the United
Sates and abroad. The rates of duty
should be readjusted only when con
ditions have so changed that public
interest demands it. All such changes
should be made by the Republican
party."
A long paragraph was favored in re
lation to reciprocity. It is a declara
tion for "commercial reciprocity,
which is possible only under protective
tariff, and whenever reciprocity ar
rangements can be perfected without
injury to any industry." There is
a mild pronouncement against trusts
and another on the question of dis
franchisement in the South.
AMERICA PREPARING1 FOR WAR?
St. Petersburg Paper Alarmed Over Big Ex
psosloo of Our Navy.
'St. Petersburg, ( By Cable). The
Novoe Vcmya devotes a long edi
torial to speculation regarding the
object of the enormous naval expan
sion of the United States, saymg:
"It is difficult to suppose it is for
a pacific purpose, and more difficult
to imagine it is due to fear of aggres
sion on the part of a F.uropean
Power."
Continuing, the paper declares that
the only presumption left is that the
United States is preparing to, at no
distant future, attack some one, and
warns the F.uropean statesmen to "be
ware of the boundless appetites of
American exporters for markets
which, other means failing, must be
won by force of arms."

Tokio, (By Cable). Admiral Togo
reports that last Thursday his patrol
boats discovered the battleship Peres
vict and seven other vessels, ac
companied by torpedo-boat destroyers,
near the entrance of Port Arthur har
bor. They warned him by wireless teleg
raphy and he immediately advanced
his fleet except those engaged upon
special duty. The Admiral discovered
that the Russian fleet, which con
sisted of 6 battleships, 5 cruisers anil
14 destroyers, evidently planned a
dash southward by sundown.
The Russians stopped outside the
entrance to the harbor. After night
fall a lleet of Japanese destroyers reso
lutely attacked the Russian .ships and
succeeded in torpedoing and sinking
a battleship of the Peresviet type and
disabling the battleship Sevastopol. A
cruiser of the Diana type was observ
ed being towed into the harbor on
Friday morning, and it was evident
she had sustained serious damage.
The Japanese ships sustained little
damage. The Shirakumo was hit by
a shell, which fell in the cabin, and
had three men killed and three olher
wounded. The Chidori, a vessel of
the same class, was hit behind the en
gine room, but no casualties resulted.
Torpedo boats 64 and 66 were slightly
damaged.

as the Pobieda, which was reported
disabled by a torpedo April 1.1. the

Arthur, supposing the Peresviet and
Sevastopol out of action, only three
remain the Tsarewitch. the Pobieda
and the unfortunate Rctvizan. These
were all damaged in the early days of
the war, and while many reports have
been disseminated that they had been
fully repaired, no confirmation of this
has been obtained.

with the reception accorded him by
the townsmen, who met him in great
numbers.
Perdicaris suffered many hardships
while in the hands of Raisuli, although
he says he does not think that these
were the fault of the bandit chief, and
that be had every comfort possible
under the circumstances.
Varley appears to be as cheerful and
bright as if he had just returned from
a picnic. Both Perdicaris and Varley,
are much thinner, especially the
former, who has aged considerably.
Perdicaris was received at his town
house by .the authorities, the ad
mirals of the fleets and numerous
personal friends. His Moorish serv
ants made a great demonstrtion of
joy, kissing their master's hands and
clothes.
Much credit is due to the two
shereefs of Wazan, Mulai Ali and
Mulai Hamet. who have devoted much
time in their efforts to secure the
success of the negotiations. Mulai
Ali remained at Raifuli's cainn con
tinuously, thus ensuring the safety of
the lives of the captives, while Mula'
Hamet traveled back and -forth be
tween Tangier and Benairos.
Mulai Hamet says that he arrived
at the camp of Zelal, governor of the
Keni M'Sara tribe, at 3 o'clock on June
23, hut that the captives did not ar
rive until the morning of June 24.
Nothing unusual occurred diuiiig the
exchange of the prisoners, who started
immediately fort heir respective homes,
The delay in turning over the prison
ers was apparently merely a mistake
as to the date set for their telease.
