REPUBLICAN CONVENTION Delegates Meet in Chicage and Nominate Ticket. ROOSEVELT AND FAIRBANKS. But One Name Presented for Each Of fice—Corteiyou Chosen Chairman National Committee. The Republican national convention, the thirteenth in the party’s history, met in the Chicago Coliseum at noon Tuesday and organized. Henry C. Paine, chairman of the National Com- mittee, called the convention to order. He then introduced the Rev. Tim- othy P. Frost, pastor of the First Meth- odist Church of Evanston, Ill, who pronounced the opening prayer. Senator Scott, on behalf of the Chi- cago citizens’ committee which co- operated with the National Committee en arrangements for the convention, then presented National Chairman Henry C. Payne with a handsome gavel. Chairman Payne recognized Gov. Van Zant, of Minnesota, to present the gavel used by the presiding office. It was made by the members of the South Minneapolis High school, and he said, had been used at Republican conventions in Minneapolis, St. Louis and Philadelphia. He asked the chair- man to use it for this convention which would nominate Theodore Roosevelt. It was the first mention of the Presi- dent's name in the convention and the delegates rose as one man. Cheers rang through the hall, and many men sprang upon their chairs and waved hats, banners and handkerchiefs. After the applause had subsided Chairman Payne in a few pressed thanks for the gavel. said: “Gentlemen of the convention, the National Committee has selected for your temporary chairman the Hon. Elihu Root, of New York.” There was another shout from the convention which was prolonged when Gov. Odell, of New York, rose to move that the action of the National Com- mittee he approved. The motion was adopted. Mr. Root was greeted with renewed cheers as he advanced to the speaker's stand. In his address he reviewed the work of the party at length. The second day’s session of the con- vention was taken up with the.speech of the permanent chairman, Joseph G. Cannon and the reading and adoption of the platform. The Illinois delegation met and de- cided to withdraw the name of Repre- sentative Robert R. Hitt for the Vice Presidency, which cleared the field for the unanimous nomination of Senator C. W. Fairbanks, of Indiana for second place on the ticket. The' last day of the national Repub- lican convention was the liveliest and really the first day the convention hall was filled to overflowing. Chairman Cannon called the convention to or- der promptly and after brief prelimin- aries the roll call for nominations for President was begun. Alabama, first on the list, relinquished the honor to New York. Former Governor Frank S. Black, of New York, then advanced to the plat form to nominate Theodore Roosevelt and was greeted with wild cheers. He .spoke rapidly and was frequently in- terruptetl by applause. His concluding words, nominating Roosevelt, were the signal for the greatest demonstration of the convention. While the uproar was going on Chairman Cannon waved the old battle flag that has been used at every convention of the party. When order was restored the nomin- ation was seconded by Senator Bev- eridge, of Indiana, George A. Knight, of California and others, after which the nomination was made unanimous- ly. When the convention came to the He then PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT. words ex- .

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM. | | | | ims | Party History Reviewed and Policies for Future Outlined. The Republican platform is prefaced! by an outline of the movements cham- pioned by the party throughout its! existence. Its declaration of policy in| the main are: Protection which guards and devel-| ops our industries is a cardinal policy | of the Republican party. The measure | of protection should always at least| eqnal the difference in the cost of pro- | duction at home and abroad. We in-! sist upon the maintenance of the prin- ciples of protection, and therefore rates of duty should be readjusted only when conditions have so changed that | the public interest demands their al- | .teration, but this work cannot safely | be committed to any other hands than those of the Republican party. We have extended. widely our for-| eign markets, and we believe in the] adoption of all practical methods for | their further extension, including com- | mercial reciprocity wherever recipro-! cal arrangements can be perfected] consistent with the principles of pro- | tection and without injury to Ameri- !

Negro Prisoner Detected in Attempt to Break Jail. James Callihan, a negro, condemned to die for murder, made a desperate ef- fort to escape from the Washington county, (Pa.) jail. He sawed through two of his cell bars, but the arrival of a guard prevented his escape. Callihan secured the saws and file in a pie sent to him last Friday. He sawed through the bars and concealed the marks with soap blackened. He then tore two strips from his blanket and tied the ends about the bars where he had sawed through. This was no- ticed by Deputy Sheriff Samuel Howe, who in cutting it off pulled out the pars. Callihan was put in another cell and searched. Three saws and a file were found in the air shaft. Callihan with a spoon had unscrewed the plate to the shaft and fastening the tools to a string had hung them over the water pipe in the shaft. Callihan says the sawing was before he was placed in the cell. Ko- vovick in an adjoining cell says he heard no sawi saw Killing of Etzel Unwarranted.

Such com- binations when lawfully formed for lawiul purposes are alike entitled to the protection of the laws, but both are subject to the laws and neither can be permitted to break them. The administration of Roosevelt is endorsed. President A correspondent of the Associated Press, in summing up his observations of a two-months’ tour of Korea, says that the country has been depleted of its reserve stock of corn, which is its principal wealth, by the demands of the Japanese. The absence of fortifi- cations, he says. discounts the idea that the Japanese intend to make Korea their base. INSPECTOR COMMITTED. | Man Who Examined the Gen. Siocum Refuses to Testify. Evidence of a startling nature, which doubtless will have an important bear- | ing on the ultimate result of the coron- er’s inquiry into the Gen. Slocum di saster, was forthcoming at the in- quest. That the ill-fated steamer Gen. Slocum had no life preservers aboard than nine years old was admitted counsel of the Knickerbocker Steamboat Company at the inquest, Mi Hall, the bookkeeper of the com: pany, had testified concerning several bills for preservers, in which she had erased the name Grand Republic, the | sister ship of the Slocum, and substi tuted that of the latter. Notwithstand- ing his, counsel for the company said they would make the admission as to the age of the belts as they were un- able to prove to the contrary. Evi dence was also brought out that the United States inspectors did not ex- amine the fire hose and standpipes and that the preservers were not in good shape. Perhaps the most unexpected inci dent was the continued refusal to answer questions of Henry Lundberg, a United steamboat inspector, who was to have inspected the life preservers and the hull of the ill-fated stean His 1 was sed on the be mi for h Aav $500 Dail RUSSIAN SHIPS HIT HARD. Ventured Out of Harbor at Port Ar- thur and Met Defeat. The London Central News has Te- ceived the following dispatch from its Tokio correspondest, dated June 26, evening: . “A detailed account of the naval bat. tle at Port Arthur has just been pub- lished here. The Russian battleships Peresviet, Poltava and Sevastopol and the cruisers Bayan, Askcid and Novik attempted to emerge from the harbor at dawn on June 23, led by steamers used for clearing the mines. At 11 a. m. the battleships Czaievitch, Retvizan | and Pobieda joined the others. All the ships then advanced, endeavoring | to dispose of the mines laid by the] Japanese, but they were hindered by | two Japanese torpedo boat destroyers, | which had been guarding the mouth of | the harbor. At 3 p. m. the Japanese torpedo boats exchanged shots with | seven Russian destroyers, which were covering the clearing operations. One | of the Russian destroyers was set on fire and retired inside the harbor. “Subsequently the Japanese decoyed | the Russians out to sea and awaited | an opportusity to begin a general ac-| tion, but between 8 and 9 p. m. the Russian ships made for the harbor. | The Japanese torpedo boat destroyers and torpedo boats chased the Russians and at 9:30 delivered the first attack, | in consequence of which the enemy | was thrown into disorder. During the night eight separate attacks were de-| livered, lasting until dawn of Friday. “In one of these assaults the Chira- | taka twice torpedoed a battleship of | the Peresviet type, and sank her. A battleship of the Sevastopol type and a cruiser of the Diana type were dis-| abled and towed away. The Russian vessels re-entered the harbor during Friday. Killed Children and Herself. Threatened with starvation and with her hushgnd hopelessly insane, Mrs. Anna Kelsdzick, of Chicago, gave up! the struggle for existence, killed her three small children and then ended her own life. Illuminating gas was the means of destruction she adopted and when the bodies were found early to- day all four had been dead several! hours. SENATOR C. W. FAIRBANKS. Nominated for Vice President by Re- : publican Convention. i Charles Warren Iwirbtanks, the Re- publican candidate for Vice Presid- eent, was born on a farm near Union- ville Center, Union county, O., on May 11, 1852. His father, Lorison M. Fair- banks, was a Vermonter and was ong of the pioneers of the Buckeye State, where he settled in 1836, and the son spent his youth in working the farm with his father. He was naturally of a studicus bent, and, like Lincoln, he spent every moment he could spare in poring over his books. After he had finished the district scnool he prepared himself for college, and was graduated with distinction from Ohio Wesleyan University in 1872. He was admitted to the bar by the Supreme Court of Ohio in 1874, and removed to In- dianapolis the same year. He was elected to the United States Senate in 1897 to succeed Daniel W. Voorhees, Democrat; was re-elected in 1903, and his term will expire March 3, 1909. TURKEY YIELDING. Demonstration Threat Evokes Another Reform Pledge. The French Foreign Office has been advised that the Forte has yielded completely to the demands of the pow- ers for redress as a result of the Ar- menian persecutions. Evicted Ar- menians will be returned to their old homes, indemnified for losses and pro- tected for the future, The Sultan, how- ever, the Porte’s decision. The concessions followed a definite intimation that the powers were pre- paring to make a naval demonstration in Turkish waters. Archbishop of Canterbury Coming. The Archbishop or Canterbury, the most Rev. Dr. Randall Thomas David- son, has accepted an invitation to at- tend the general convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States and Canada, which will be held in Boston next October. The Archbishop will leave in August and will visit a number of cities in the United States and Canada, before the holding of the convention. Sister Wants Indemnity. | Miss Annie B.

PAYNE WILL ALSO RETIRE. Secretary Moody Succeeds Knox as At- torney General and Metcalf Will Follow Cortelyou. President Roosevelt made the fol- lowing announcement regarding changes in the cabinet: William H. Moody, of Massachusetts, to be Attorney General. Paul Morton, of Illinois, to be Secre- tary of the navy. Victor H. Metcalf, of California, to be Secretary of Commerce and La- bor. : The resignation of Secretary Cortel- you and Attorney General Knox have been received and accepted, to take effect July 1. In one respect the appointment of Navy, is unique in the history of the | Roosevelt administration. He had al-| | ways been a regular Democrat until | 1896, when he bolted the party and be-| | came a Gold Democrat. About two months ago he came out | in an interview, in waich he announc- | | | ed his renunciation of Democratic prin. | ciples, and declared that hercdfter he | would be found in the ranks of the | Republicans. Mr. Morton is the son | of the late J. Sterling Morton, who | was Secretary of Agriculture under President Cleveland's second adminis-| tration. He was born in Detroit, Mich.,, May 22, 1857.

Deprez, the French minister at Port-au-Prince, Hayti, saying that while he and the German minister were driving past the | palace they were attacked and stoned by soldiers forming the palaca guard. M. Duprez was struck on the leg by a| stone and was slightly injured.

The attack on the French minister, M. Duprez, who was struck by a stone thrown by one of the guards on duty at .the palace, was the outcome of the feeling among the populaticn and the government against foreigners, the na- tives desiring to hold them responsible for the wretched financial situation of Hayti. Harry Levine, of New Castle, Pa. is in jail on a charge of the forgery of checks on the First National Bank of New Castle.

RESCUED BY REVENUE CUTTER. Poachers Found on Almost Starving. The United States revenue cutter Thetis has returned to Honolulu from a trip to the island of Lisiansky, about 1,300 miles to the northwest of Ha- waii, where she went In search of Jap- anese poachers. The Taetis found that the Japanese schooner Yeiju, with 67 men on board, had arrived at the fis- land on January 8 last, but that 10 days later she had been wrecked in a Japanese Island gale and 10 of the men on board drowned. The 57 survivors of neces- sity remained on the island. They were short of provisions, and when the Thetis found them they had only six pounds of rice left. The Thetis brought all the survivors to this place, when they will be taken back to Japan. Three hundred and thirty-five pack- ages of valuable plumage, gathered by the Japanese from the birds of the is- land for shipment to Paris, were aban- doned on the island. “THEY CAN'T COME BACK.” Opponents of Western Miners’ Federa- tion to Wear Buttons.
