Canton. 0., July 13. —Under ai azure
fiky, with the sunlight glinting through
the leafy trees?, with the banner of the
republic draped above him. William
McKinley was yesterday officially no
tified of his second nomination by the
Republican party for the highest office
In the civilized vorld. Grouped about
him were leading men of his party,
while surrounding his Canton home
were the friends among whom he has
lived for more than 30 years, together
with vast crowds from the surrounding
towns of his native state. The scene
was inspiring as, to the eloquent words
of Senator Lodge, the president re
sponded in a ringing speech. There
was enthusiasm enough and to spare,
and to many of the pointed utterances
of both Senator I,odge and the presi
dent there was hearty and cordial ap
proval shown.
Important features of the speech of
notification by Senator Lodge and the
response by President McKinley were
the references to the Chinese situation.
This caused a great deal of discussion
during the conferences following the
formal speechmaking, and the impres
sion created was that these utterances
were a notification to the world that
the United States intended to preserve
ell its rights in China. The impres
sive portions of the president's speech
were his references to the maintenance
of the gold standard and the financial
public faith, the preservation of a pro
tective tariff, the enlargement of our
market and especially the catchy
phrase, "prosperity at home and pres
tige abroad."
When he asked. "Shall we go back
to the tariff of four years ago?" there
were shouts of "No!" "No!" from
every part of the audience. A pro
longed cheer greeted his words relative
to the maintenance of our authority in
the Philippines. There was a most
Impressive shout when he declared that
there should be continued legislative
control over the territory possessed by
the United States and another outburs.
when he said such authority would be
coupled with "liberty and humanity."
His declaration that the United States
had"reclaimed 10.000,000 human beings
from imperialism" wi.s a decided hit,
and there were many requests for him
to repeat the sentence. This turn of
the word used so much by the opposi
tion was considered one of the adroit
features of the speech.
While the speech of the president
closed the formal notification, there
had not been oratory enough for the
gathering, and other speakers were
called for. Senator Fairbanks, of In
diana. Senator Hanna, Postmaster Gen
eral Charles Emory Smith, Col. Sam
uel Parker, of Hawaii, and Senator
Lodge were heard, the last named
speaking twice. Senator Fairbanks
evidently intended to make the money
question the dominant issue of the
campaign, denying that with 16 to 1
In their platform the Democrats could
make "imperialism" the leading issue.
In his second speech Senator Lodge re
sented the criticism of President Mc-
Kinley by his opponents, and pointed
out the difficulty Bryan would have in
selecting a cabinet from the men prom
inent in the conventions at Kansas
City and Sioux Falls.
President McKlnley's speech of ac
ceptance was as follows:
The President** Acceptance.
Senator Lodge and Gentlemen of the
Notification Committee: The message
which you bring to me Is one of signal
honor. It is also a summons to duty. A
single nomination for the office of presi
dent by ft great party which in a:' years
out of 40 has been triumphant at na
tionni elections, is a distinction which I
gratefully cherish. To receive unanimous
nomination hy the same party is an ex
pression of regard and a pledge of con
tinued confidence for which it is dlrociltt
to make adequate acknowledgment.
If anything exceeds the honor of of
fice of president of the United States it
is the responsibility which attaches to It.
Having been invested with both, 1 do
not under appraise either. Anyone who
has borne the anxieties and burdens of
the presidential office, especially In time
of national trial, cannot contemplate as
suming it a socond time without pro
foundly realizing the severe reactions and
the solemn obligations which it imposes,
find this feeling is accentuated by the
momentous problems which now press
for settlement. If my countrymen shall
confirm the action of the convention at
our national election in November I shall,
rravlng divine guidance, undertake the
exalted trust, to administer it for the in
terest and honor of the country and the
well buing of the new peoples who have
become the objects of our care. The
declaration of principles adopted by the
convention has my hearty approval. At
some future date I will consider its sub
jects in detail and will by letter com
municate to your chairman a more for
mal acceptance of the nomination.
On a like occasion four years ago I

every lover of the republic is interested
to avert.
The Assaults on the Currency.
Not satisfied with assaulting the cur
rency and credit of the government, our
political adversaries condt inn thw tariff
law enacted at the extra session of con
gress in I*!< 7. known as the Dingley act.
passed in obedience to the will of the
people expressed at the election in the
preceding Novmber, a law which at once
stimulated our industries, opened the id'.o
factories and mints and gave to the la
borer and to the farmer fair returns for
I their toil and investment. Shall we go
back to a tariff which brings deficiency
in our revenues and destruction to our
indust rial enterprises?
Faithful to its pledges in these Internal
affairs, how has the government dis
charged its international duties?
Our platform of ISM 6 declared: "The
Hawaiian Islands should be controlled by
the United States and no foreign power
should be permitted to interfere with
them." This purpose has been fully ac
complished by annexation, and delegates
from those beautiful islands have par
ticipated in the convention for which
vou speak today. In the great conference
of nations at The Hague we reaffirmed
before the world the Monroe doctrine and
our adherence to it and our determina
tion not to participate in the complica
tions of Europe. We have happily endetl
the European alliance in Samoa, securing
to ourselves one of the most valuable
harbors in the Pacific ocean, while the
open door in China gives to us fair and
e«iual competition in the vast trade of
the Orient. Some things have happened
which were not promised, nor even fore
seen. and our purposes in relation to them
must not be 1* ft in doubt. A Just war
has been waged for humanity, and with It
have come new problems and responsi
bilities. Spain has been ejected from
the western hemisphere and our flag
floats over her former territory. Cuba
has been liberated and our guarantees
to her people will be sacredly executed.
A beneficent government has been pro
vided for Porto Rico. The Philippines
are ours and American authority must
be supreme throughout the archipelago.
There will be amnesty broad and liberal,
but no abatement of our rights, no
abandonment of our duty. There must be
no scuttle policy. We will fulfill in the
Philippines the obligations imposed by
the triumphs of our arms and by the
treaty of peace; by international law. by
the nation's sense of honor, and, more
than all, bv the rights, interests and
conditions of the Philippine people them
n|\. s. No outside interference blocks
the way to peace and a stable govern
ment. The obstructionists are here, not
elsewhere. They may postpone, but they
( annot defeat the realisation of the high
purpose of this nation to restore order
to the islands and to establish a just
and generous government, in which the
inhabitants shall have the largest par
ticipation for which tiny are capable.
The organiz. d 'jtrces which have been
misled into r. !■ 4>* >n have been dispers
ed by our faithful soldiers and sailors
and the people of the islands, delivered
from anarchy, pillage and oppression,
recognize American sovereignty as the
symbol and pledge of peace, justice. law,
religious freedom, education, the security
of life and property and the welfare and
prosperity of their several communities.
Kiirlj' Principle* IteaxKcrfe<l.
We reassert the early principle of the
Republican party, sustained by unbroken
judicial precedents, that the representa
tives of the people, in congress assembled,
have full legislative power over terri
tory belonging to the United States sub
ject to the fundamental safeguards of
liberty, justice and personal right;- and
are vested with ample authority to act
"for the highest interests of our nation
jtnd the people entrusted to its care." The
lioc trine first proclaimed in the cause of
freedom will never be used as a weapon
for oppression. I am glad to be assured
by you that what we have done in the
far east has the approval of the coun
try. The sudden and terrible crisis in
China calls for the gravest consideration,
and you will not expect from me now
any further expression than to say that
m.v best efforts shall be given to the im
mediate purpose of protecting the lives
of our citizens who are in peril, with
the ultimate object of the peace and wel
fare of China, the safeguarding of all
our treaty rights and the maintenance
•if those principles of Impartial inter
course to which the civilized world Is
pledged. I cannot conclude without con
gratulating my countrymen upon the
strong national sentiment which finis e*,
pression in every part of our common
country and the increased respect with
which the American name is greeted
throughout the world. We have been
moving in untried paths, but our steps
have been guided by honor and duty.
There wIU I" no turning aside, no wav
»i tug, no rctri at. No blow has been
ftruck except for liberty an.l humanity
und none will be. We will perform with
out ft ir every national and international
obligation. The Republican party was
dedicated *o freedom U years ago. it has
been the party of liberty and emancipa
tion from that hour; not of profi sion,
but of performance. It broke the s'.iack
]es of 000 slaves and made them free,
und to the party of Lincoln has come
another supreme opportunity, which it
has bravely met in the liberation of 10,-
000.000 of the human family from the
yoke of Imperialism. In its solution of
great problems, in its performance of
high duties, it has had the support of
members of all parties in the past and
confidently invokes their co-operation in
the future. Permit me to express, Mr.
Chairman, my most sincere appreciation
of the complimentary terms In which you
convey the official notice of my nomina
tion. and my thanks to the members of
the committee and to the great constitu
ency which you represent for this addi
tional evidence of their favor and sup
port.

Oyster Bay. L. 1., July 13. —On the
breeze swept veranda of Sagamore, his
country h;-r.":\ Governor Theodore
Roosevelt yesterday was officially noti
fied of his nomination for vice presi
dent on the Republican national ticket.
The ceremony was so simple as to be
almost informal. Surrounded by the
members of the committee on notifica
tion, a little party of invited guests,
Mrs. Roosevelt and the rest of the
governor's family, Governor Roosevelt
listened to the address of notification
by Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, chair
man of the committee. To this the
governor responded briefly, and the
luncheon was served. An hour was
spent in general conversation on the
cool porches, and then the party re
turned to Oyster Hay, where a special
train was waiting to convey them back
to New York.
Governor Roosevelt's speech of ac
ceptance was as follows:
Mr. Chairman: I accept the honor con
ferred upon me with the keenest and
deepest appreciation of what it means,
and above all of the responsibility that
goes with it. Everything that it Is in
my power to do will be done to secure
the re-election of President McKinley. to
whom it has been given in this crisis of
the national history to stand for and
embody the principles which lie closest to
the heart of every American worthy of
the name.
This is very much more than a mere
party contest. We stand at the parting
of the ways, and the people have now to
decide wheher they shall go forward
along the path of prosperity and high
honor abroad or whether they will turn
their backs upon what has been done dur
ing the past three years; whither they
will plunge this country into an abyss
of misery and disaster, or what is worse
than even misery and disaster, shame. I
feel that we have a right to appeal not
merely to Republicans, but to all good
citizens, no matter what may have been
their party affiliations in the past, and
to ask on the strength of the record that
President McKinley has n. ale during the
past three years, and on the strength of
the threat Implied in what was done in
Kansas city a few days ago. t.> stand
shoulder to shoulder with us. perpetuat
ing the conditions upder which we have
reached a degree of prosperity never be
fore attained in the nation's history and
under which abroad we have put the
American flag on a level where it never
before in the history of the country has
been placed. For these reasons i feel
we have a right to look forward with
confident expectation to what the ver
dict of the people will be next November
and to ask all men to whom the well
being of the country and the honor of the
national name are dear to stand with us
as we fight for prosperity at home and
the honor of the flag abroad.
THE MISSING PLATFORM PLANK.
Why There 1» Yo Income Tin Decla
ration l»> tlie l)e .-at*.
Indianapolis, July I'. Mr. ,-Mnuel
E. Morss, Indiana r. -nher of the
resolutions committee ~t t':° national
Democratic conven i m, in a 1 in
terview makes the 1- ' -v.i'ig explana
tion of how there cam. I > be no income
tax plank in the nati; n.l D aioerr.tic
platform. He says:
"The platform as :;ju,! by the
committee on resolutions of the Kan
sas City convention contained a decla
ration in favor of the adoption of con
stitutional amendments authorizing an
income tax and providing for the elec
tion of United States senators by the
people. No objection was made to
this resolution, and I am convinced
that the omission was the result of an
oversight, due to the haste with which
the sub-committee was obliged to act
to put the platform as unanimously
agreed upon in shape to be submitted
to the convention. The idea that the
declaration for the income tax was
purposely omitted by the sub-commit
tee, out of deference for Senator Hill,
or any other person, is preposterous.
"When Senator Tillman had nearly
finished reading the platform some of
the Indiana delegates said to me that
nothing had been read about the in
come tax. I went to the Illinois dele
gation and asked Mayor Harrison if
he had noted the omission. He said
he had not. I was about togo to the
platform to call attention to the mat
ter when Mayor Harrison called me to
him and said that Mr. Abbott told him
that the income tax declaration had
been read by Senator Tillman. Un
less Mr. Abbott's ears deceived him,
it was read and the omission occurred
by accident in the copies furnished to
the press. I have no doubt that Mr.
Bryan will dr-fino his position, and that
of his party on this subject in his let
ter of acceptance."

A BELLIGERENT MINORITY.

Joliet, Ills., July 17. —Minority share
holders in the Joliet Wire company,
led by Col. Fred Beunitt, who com
manded the Third Illinois infantry in
Porto Rico, yesterday smashed in the
doors of the plant with crow bars,
routed the majority stockholders, who
were in session within, and elected
new officers. The action of the minor
ity stockholders was the result of a
factional fight. The mills are inde
pendent of the American Steel and
Wire company, and have been closed
down for some time. This was in op
position to the wishes of a well or
ganized minority.
Yesterday the minority determined
upon drastic measures to force a re
sumption of the manufacture of wire.
After the majority stockholders had
been in session for some time in the
mill, and had elected Ward S. Sawyer
president, George Van Zandt vice
president and E. G. Minnemyer secre
tary and treasurer there was a loud
rapping at the mill door. Mr. Minne
myer clutched his hip pocket and pre
pared to defend himself. Then came
the cry:
"Open the door or we will smash it
down."
"I)o so if you dare," shouted Minne
myer. Those outside rained blows on
the door with crow bars and soon
drove it in. Then Col. Bennitt, with
cane upraised, led the minority, who
charged upon the majority, and they
were driven off the premises.
The victors elected C. E. Robinson
president and Col. Fred Bennitt sec
retary. The new officers propose to
start up the plant at once.

London, July 18. —The foreign office
informs the press that a telegram iden
tical with the one handed to Secretary
Hay at Washington by Minister Wu
Ting Fang has been delivered to it by
the Chinese minister here, which was
sent by Sheng, the administrator of
telegraphs at Shanghai. The foreign
office points out, however, that the date
(July 9) mentioned in the telegram
probably applies to the Chinese calen
dar, and is equivalent to July 5, accord
ing to the Gregorian reckoning.
There is little further news from
China this morning. The attack upon
the native city of Tien Tsin was fol
lowed up so swiftly by the allies on the
morning of July 14 that the Chinese
never had time to reorganize, and,
once their lines were broken, their re
treat rapidly became a rout. The al
lies took possession of the native city
and its defenses. The total losses of
the allies in the engagements of Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday were about
800 killed or wounded. The casualties
were greatest among the Russians and
Japanese.
The news of the Manchuria disturb
ances is not regarded as justifying the
serious view attributed by The Daily
Mail's advices. Amur is boundary ter
ritory between eastern Siberia and
Manchuria. The district has been the
scene of local disturbances for a long
time, owing to the provocative conduct
o lthe Cossacks toward the 25,000 Chi
nese employed in the construction of
the Russo-Manchuria railway.
Several serious collisions have oc
curred between the Cossacks and the
Chinese troops. One happened several
weeks ago, when two Russian officers
and sixteen men were killed. The ex
tension of the Boxer movement to
Manchuria has resulted in a great
destruction of tho railway, compelling
the Russians to withdraw their of
ficials. The Chinese tried to stop the
Russian steamer Michael, carrying
ammunition, and the steamer Selenga,
with the Russian frontier commission
on board, from passing up the Amur
at Aigun. They fired on the steamers,
wounding an officer and a few men,
but the steamers reached Blagove
schensk. The local Chinese com
mander at Aigun seems to have sent
the Russians a sort of ultimatum to
quit Manchuria.
The Chinese, according to The Daily
Mail's St. Petersburg correspondent,
have thrown up fortifications and plac
ed 40 guns at a point 12 miles from
Aigun to dispute the progress of the
Russians. The official Russian advices
leave the inference that Blagove
schensk is still in Russian hands, the
Russian losses during the bombard
ment being only three killed and five
wounded.
The Amur military district was mob
ilized a fortnight ago on a war footing
and it is believed that the Russian
forces there are 50,000 men and 112
guns. The governor general has now
ordered the troops on the frontier to
form a cordon. The Russian papers
demand severe retribution for Chinese
audacity in Manchuria, but they hold
to the view that Russian must perse
vere in her resolution to avoid war.
The Daily Mail publishes a sensa
tional dispatch from St. Petersburg,
dated Monday, which asserts that there
is no doubt that China has declared
war against Russia.
"The Russian press," says the cor
respondent, "is restricted to the pub
lication of official details, and the pub
lication of many dispatches from the
front has been prohibited. I hear,
however, from a reliable source that
the Chinese troops and the Boxers seiz
ed a Russian transport vessel laden
with munitions near Aigun (on the
Amur river, about 18 miles from the
Russian frontier), killing almost the
entire Russian escort. They next sud
denly attacked and bombarded the
town of Blagovechensk (capital of the
Amur government, on the Amur river).
The garrison held out bravely, but was
finally overwhelmed. Nearly all per
ished, and ihe town was burned."
The Daily Telegraph has the fol
lowing from Canton, dated July 16,
shortly before his departure for Pekin:
"In an interview with the foreign
consuls today Li Hung Chang said
that his mission to Pekin was two
fold —to save the lives of the foreign
ministers and to arrange the best pos;
sible terms of peace with the allied
powers. The American and French
consuls, while contratulating him upon

You can tell just as well as a physician
whether your kidneys are diseased or
healthy. The way to dois totakea bot
tle or glass tumbler, anil till it with urine.
If there is a sediment—a powderlike
substance —at the bottom after standing
a day and a night, there is something
wrong with the kidneys. Another sure
sign of disease is a desire to urinate often,
and still another sign is pain in the back.
If urine stains linen, there is no doubt
that the kidneys are atlecteil.
Any and all disease* of the kidneys,
liver, bladder and of the urinary passag
es and constipation of the bowels are cur
ed by Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy- There is noi|tiestion about its
being the best and surest medicine in
the world for such troubles. It quickly
relieves and cures inability to hold urine
and people, young or old, who take it
are not compelled to get up a number of
times during the night. For putting an
end to that scalding pain experienced in
passing urine, nothing is so good as I>r.
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. It
corrects the bad eilects of whiskey and
beer; is plexvant to the taste, and does
not seam to be medicine at nil. Diseas
es of the kidneys and the bladder often
require the use of instruments to push
back the sand j* matter so the urine can
be voided. In such cases Favorite Rem
edy shiiiilil be taken without further de
lay or the disease m:iy prove fatal. It is
sold for one dollar a bottle at all drug
stores. It is well worth many times its
price.

added that lie had received important
cables from Loid Salisbury and M.
Delcasse, demanding protection for the
foreign mil isters in Pekin and threat
ening to take life for life of the hit;h
officials r< sponsible if the mission
aries were murdered. He told the
consuls he was the only man in China
who dared to transmit such messages
to the emj ess, but that he had sent
them verbatim, and he did not doubt
that they ' ad exerted a powerful in
fluence in saving the ministers' lives.

"To the Americans who inquired
about the actual safety of the foreign
ministers at Pekin Li answered that
he had received no news from Pekin
within the past week, but that, if they
were alive, he was almost certain mat
ters could be satisfactorily arranged
with the allied powers.

great personal sacrifice to undertake
such a journey in this horrid weather.'
"After a moment's thought he said:
'lf your ministers are killed do you
think my life may be taken in retalia
tion while en route?'
"This question received a general
strong negative reply. He then asked
the consuls to wire to their respective
admirals to respect his own flag and to
allow him a safe conduct to Pekin. He
was evidently exceedingly anxious
about the ministers, for, returning to
the subject, he sad:
" 'My heart is sore about them. I
know them well personally, and I am
on the best of good terms with them.'
"He added that he realized his gov

was to show his grave displeasure that
he sent the cablegram from Lord
Salisbury and M. Delcasse to the em

them. He concluded by asking the
co-operation of the allied powers in
furthering the success of his mission,

Safety In \ntheatlc.
Washington, July 18. —A decidedly
more hopeful feeling with regard to
the Chinese situation was apparent in
all administration circles last evening.
The tide of sentiment, which had been
marked by pessimism, turned with
the announcement of the victory of the
allies at Tien Tsin and the capture of
the forts and native city and gathered
further strength from Minister Wu's
cablegram declaring that the foreign
ministers at Pekin were safe July 9,
two days after their reported massacre.
Aside from these dispatches the arrival
of th" president and the special cabinet
meeting called to consider the situation
were the features of the day. The cab
inet met at 2:30 o'clock, less than an
hour after the president reached the
Whits House. There were present Sec
retary Hay, Secretary Root, Secretary
Long, Secretary Gage and Postmaster
General Smith.
At the conclusion of the session Sec
retary Root gave out the following for
mal statement of the action of the
cabinet:
"The president has determined that
the facts now known to us do not re
quire or justify calling an extra ses
sion of congress. Should future de
velopments indicate that he is unable
to do what is required with the means
now at his command and the action
of congress is necessary to furnish
either men or money or authority he
will not hesitate to call it together."
While Minister Wu's cable is not re
garded as conclusive, it is accepted in
good faith for the present. But the
administration, it can be definitely
stated, has set in motion some ma
chinery by which it is confidently pre
dicted absolutely authentic news as to
the fate of our minister and the other
foreigners at Pekin will be ascertained.
Through what channel the adminis
tration expects to receive this all im
portant news is not known, but that a
definite statement of the situation in
Pekin is daily, if not hourly, expected
can be stated with the utmost positive
ness. The advices received from
Ptkin probably will be the determining
factor in fixing the future course of
this government. If Minister Conger
has been murdered an extra session of
congress seems inevitable.
The Chinese minister expressed the
most complete confidence in th» ac
curacy of his message. When a by
stander expressed some doubt on this
subject Mr. Wu inquired, with some
warmth:
"Why is it that you believe the ex
aggerated reports coming from un
known sources, and yet you choose to
doubt this report signed by our high
est officials and containing inherent
evidence of accuracy?"

Anoka, Minn., July 18. —Eliza Wise,
whoso parents were killed anil four ;
■ umbers nl' (he family wounded by I
shots P' d the window of their
honu-. Ac l.ight several months J
yesterday in court detailed a horrible j
plot to murder her parents, of which,
she said, herself and elder sister were
fully cognizant. It was in the trial of
James Hardy and Elmer Miller, who
were arrested on suspicion. Asked
who she saw outside the house on the !
night of the shooting, Eliza refused to
tell unless the court room were clear- |
ed. This was refused. She asked per
mission to write her evidence. The
court granted this request, and the j
witness wrote a statement accusing j
Hardy and Miller of the murder and
practically admitting that the plot to j
shoot her parents was formed with >
the knowledge of herself and her sis- .
ter. The mother had $1,500 in bank,
which was togo to her daughters in
case of her death, and the girls had
said they would divide with their j
suitors, she said, when Mrs. Wise was
dead. The father had forbidden the '
boys to call on his daughters, and so ,
he was included in the plot. Eliza j
testified that she saw the boys with i
their guns outside the house before the j
shooting. After the crime was com
mitted she found one of the shells out- j
side the window and destroyed it. Her
story created a sensation, as the de- j
fendants had established a tentative
alibi.
Ycrkca For Governor of iicntnoky*
Louisville, July 18. —John W. Yerkes.
of Danville, was nominated for gov
ernor yesterday by the Republican
convention. A platform was adopted j
declaring the issue of the election to j
be the Goebel election law. The con- '
vention adjourned within three hours.
There were some anti-Goebel Demo- j
crats in the convention, but as to how
many, figures differ. A feature of the
speeches made was that they all paid
tributes to what the Democratic party i
has done in the past, though the •
speakers unsparingly denounced the
present Democratic state aclministra- i
tion and the Democratic legislature. ;
There was no nomination to be made
by this convention except for governor,
as this year's election in Kentucky
is an extraordinary one to fill the va
cancy caused by Goebel's death.
New Jemej'H Striking Miner*.
Ridgewood, N. J., July 18.—The
Thomas Iron company, owners of the
Ridgewood mines, where 250 men
went on strike Monday, called upon
Sheriff Charles A. Baker, of Morris
town yesterday for assistance in guard
ing the mines. The company notified i
the sheriff that the strikers had threat- j
eneii to draw the fires in the furnaces, !
and that if this was done it would j
cause a stoppage of the pumps and re
sult in flooding the mine. A reply was i
received from Sheriff Raker saying that |
he would send a posse. Over a thou- j
sand miners are now on strike, includ- !
ing those at the Wharton mines, the I
men at the New Jersey mine at Port
Oram and the men of the Empire mine j
at Port Hope. The strike is caused by
a 10 per cent reduction in wages.
