THE ADMINISTRATION INDORSED Roosevelt's Ilenominntlon as Corer- nor in rnvor PnaninaT "Woodruff for the Vlce-Presldencr. NEW YORK. Aprtl 17. The Republican convention for the election of delesates-at-large to the National contention at ' Philadelphia named two United States Senators, a Governor and the second In command of the Republican state organi zation, as their choice for delecates-at-large. Then, they complimented the news paper profession by naming as electors-at. large the proprietor and editor of a. Buf falo newspaper and the proprietor and ed itor of a Rochester newspaper. The men signally honored were: TTnttP states Senator Thomas C. Flatt, United States Senator C. M. Depew. Gov ernor Roosevelt, and State Committee Chairman B. B. Odell. as delegates-at-large. and Edward H. Butler, of Buffalo, and F. A. Mitchell, of Rochester, as elec-tors-at-Iarge. ' The contention was not enthusiastic at Its morning session, but was demonetrat Ive at Its afternoon session. It had few spectators when It met at noon, and a good gathering when It met In the late afternoon. It demonstrated that, so t r as Individual delegates went, they wey not quite decided In their preference 'as to whether Governor Roosevelt sbAfld be a candidate for Governor or 'fir Vice President; whether they won ed T. L. "Woodruff for Lieutenant-Governor again or Vice-President. When t',e temporary and permanent chairmen announced the candidacy of Governor FOosevelt for a second term, the convention went wild with enthusiasm, but -rtiea Mr. Sherman coupled the names jf McKlnley and Roosevelt, the applause and enthusiasm were still greater. So It was Impossible to diagnose the altitude of the majority of the delegates 'oward the Governor. It Is believed, however, that the general trend Is toward the renomlnatlon of Roose velt, and the pushing of Woodruff for sec ond place on the National ticket. The convention had the unique distinc tion of hating no business for the com mittee on contested seats to perform, and of having no Interruption of the pro gramme laid out by the organization. Tho convention was called to order at noon by Chairman Odell. of the state com mittee. Senator Eisners was made tem porary chairman, and addressed the con vention, dwelling at length on the ability with which the State and National Gov ernments have been administered. Speak ing of Governor Roosevelt, Elsberg said: "New York will make no sacrifice of him as yet. at any rate, and not until tho state has had another term of Roosevelt as Its Governor will she relinquish him to what we hope are higher honors still in store." This declaration was greeted with en thusiastic applause by the delegates. Lemuel E. Qulgg was made chairman of the committee on resolutions. After the appointment of committees a recess was taken until 4 o'clock. Chairman Sherman's Speech. The afternoon session of the convention was much more enthusiastic The com mittee on permanent organization recom mended the name of Hon. James S. Sher man, of Oneida, for permanent chairman. Mr. Sherman, In assuming the permanent chairmanship, began with a resume of what bad been accomplished for the Indus trial prosperity of the country under the administration of Presidents Harrison and McKlnley. He said further. In part: "Find me In history a more glorious record for the American people and hu manity than that" made by the McKlnley Administration through the war with Spain and tne discharged duties arising therefrom. Cuba's experience with Amer ican good faith and American genius for good government is little over a year old, yet absolute order Is already restored. The not city of a Treasury surplus Is seen; soldiers of fortune are transformed Into husbandmen: Industry supplants Idleness; waste places are fruitful; the pulse of In dustry throbs anew." Mr. Sherman commented on the growth of the Army and Navy, saj Ing that It was a healthful development, commensurate only with our Increased needs and respon. slbllltles, and that the bugbear of militar ism In a European sense need not be dreaded in this country. He spoke In high terms of the Puerto RIcan tariff bill as an equitable and philanthropic method of relietlng the distress now prevalent In the Island. Touching the gold-standard bill, Mr. Sherman said It had already brought us a credit greater than that at. talncd heretofore by any other nation, enabling us to float our public obligations at a lower rate than even Great Britain herself. Mr. Sherman praised the administration of Goternor Roosetclt and commended the selection of Messrs. Piatt, Depew. ROose telt and Odell for delegates-at-large to the Republican National Convention. He said In conclusion: "Republicans of New York fall Into line behind McKlnley and Roosevelt, and with your way lighted by the fires fit Industry, your step timed by-tbe b-atlnc of the ant 11, to the mufc oT the spindle and the loom, press forward In the broadened pathway of advanced Ideas to a well deserted victory." Allusion to McKlnley was received with applause, but the mention of Roosevelt created a -whirlwind of excitement, and his declaration that Roosevent must have a ."second term as Governor brought the audience to Its feet with cheers and hand. clapplns. Mention of McKlnley and Roosevelt, not evldenUy Intended to couple the two names, caused another burst of enthusiasm, and evidently hurt the feel, lngs of the Woodruff men. for at the con clusion of the chairman's speech they started cheering for their candidate, which was joined In by the delegates from Queens and Suffolk, and was only checked by a demonstration of disapproval on the part of the other delegates. The usual Hts of vice-presidents and secretaries were read. and. then Lemuel E. Qulgg. of New York, was called to the stage to read the platform. Ho was re celted with mingled hisses and applause. Mr. Qulgg waited until the noise had subsided and then read the platform, which was adopted. The Platform. The platform congratulates the country "that the pledges on the faith of which William McKlnley and GarretA. Hobart were elected four years ago have been redeemed." It Indorsed both the Admin istration of President McKlnley and Gov ernor Roosetclt. It asserts that the Re publican party found the country, after four j ears of Democratic government, par alyzed as to Industry, weak In trade and commerce and Impoverished In Its public treasury. The platform extolls Republi can party government as "equally effect ive and Intelligent In war and In peace." The policy of thU Government with re ganl to the status of "Spain's conquered Colonial possessions" 'jb npproved as char acterlstlcallv American, the platform con tinuing: "The independence of Cuba, pledged to Cuba and proclaimed to the world In the declaration of war. has been secured nnd advanced by every public act. The Amer ican military force In Cuba has been re duced. Local government has been estab lished, and steps aro now be'ng taken for popular elections In Cuba to erect there a free government of the Cuban people, preparatory to the complete withdrawal of American authority. "In Puerto Rico, which has become foi all time American territory, civil got ernment and liberal laws have been pro Tided. The Insurrection In the Philippine Is lands has been overcome, organized re bellion no longer exists and the establish ment of American authority in all the Islands is proceeding to the contentment of their inhabitants'." Selections Approved. The list of electors, delegates at large and electors at large were read and ap proved without change. The names ot Mr. Piatt, Mr. Depew, Governor Roose velt and Mr. Odell were received with applause. When the state committee list was called for, the first friction ot the day devel oped. When Abe Gruber made a fight over L. E. Qulgg being named In the ltth district, the chair ruled that a writ ten signed statement of 23 out of XS of the delegates elected Mr. Qulgg. Mr. Gruber said there had been no meeting of the delegates and the election was of tho "snap order." The list went through with the exception of the ninth district, which was referred to the state committee. At 52 P. M., the convention adjourned sine die. MARK HAIOTA'S nEALTH.

What he may do after the campaign opens Is a matter about which he will not talk at present. Mr. Heath Is the one most talked of as Senator Hanna's successor.

This la the Character Which the Trouble in the Phllipplnea Is Fast Assuming. Chicago Record. Washington. Private advices from the Philippine Islands report that Arch bishop Chapelle Is meeting with serious and perplexing obstacles In his efforts to reorganize and "Americanize" the Catholic Church there, becauso of the determina tion of the friars, who have hitherto con trolled secular as well as religious affairs, not to be Americanized, and the' refusal of the people to tolerate them. The papal legation here has heard nothing directly from that source. Dr. Chapelle Is outside of Its Jurisdiction and under the Immediate orders of Cardinal Rampolla, the papal sec retary of state. In fact. In his work among the Philippines he Is Independent of the sacred propaganda which has con trol of the missionary work of the Cath olic Church throughout the -world. He occup'es a sort ot diplomatic relation. He was sent to the Philippines as an ambas sador to recommend measures for the re organization of the church, and receives his Instructions direct. The monastic ordero have been all pow erful In the Philippines, chiefly the Au gustlnlan and Dbm'nlran monks. They have not only been the rectors ot the par-k-h churches, but have had charge ot the schools and all other ecclesiastical affairs. The Jesuits have a university and an as tronomlcal observatory, which has a high reputation among scientific men through out the world. There have been a few secular priest, mostly natives, scattered .among the different parishes, but they have usually been assigned as assistants to the friars and have been without In dependent authority. The monks have also exercised almost absolute control oter cltll affairs, the Governor-General and other Spanish officials having been entirely under their Influence. By their oppress'on of the native- he monastic ordcrn were the primary cause of the revolt against Spain, and since American occupation It has been reported frequently that before peace could be se cured the causes of the war must be re moved, the evlli of the Spanish regime abolished and the friars excluded, so far as possible, from control. President Mc Klnley. recognlz'ng this situation, pre ferred that the reforms should be ef fected through the 'Roman Catholic au thorities themselves, rather than by the civil authorities, and for that reason Archbishop Chapelle wax sent to the Phil ippine Islands with the peculiar powers I have described. The monks have been driven from the provinces by their former parishioners, and all who have not actually left the Island are collected In Manila. They darr not go back without assurances of mllf tary protection, which General Otis has declined to give. Archbishop Chapelld has been overwhelmed -with petitions; pro tests and remonstrances from all parts ot the country against the restoration of the friars, who are hated, not as prteets, but as padrone, for keeping their parish ioners in a state of servitude. General Otis has kept his band off and has left Archbishop Chapelle entirely free to act according to h own Judgment, although the General has refused to afford military support or protection to the friars. The situation has praqt'cally resolved It self Into a rellg'ous rebellion, and the peo ple are now anxiously awaiting to see whether the church authorities will force upon them priests who are feared and de tested. Catholic laymen who have returned or have written from the Philippines declare that the only peaceful solution of the prob lem Is to send over sensible English speaking. American-bred priests to take charge of the parishes. They could grad ually dispel the prejufllce against the Spanish friars and counteract their Influ ence. There Is need, they say. of a thou sand bright, active, conscientious young men with progressive American ideas to reorganize the churches and conduct the schools, but thus far nothing ,has been heard from Archbishop Chapelle on thl subject, and if he wants missionaries lie will have to ask for them through the church authorities at Rome. Doubtless many gifted and devout -young priests In the United States would be glad to enter the service of the church of the Philip pines, but they cannot volunteer until vol unteers are asked for. , Philippine Commission Sails.

Doer Advance Ordered to Check De sertions. NEW YORK. April 17. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: Ladysmlth dispatches confirm the report that the Boers hate retired from Eland's Laagte district to their Blggarsberg posi tions. No raiding operations southward hate been reported, and It is now clear that the Boer advance was ordered for the sake of emplojlng the burghers on active duty and of chcklng desertions. The British Inactivity, In one sense. Is masterly, since It demoralizes the enemy. Sir Redvcrs Butler's scouts have re ported that the Boers have wrecked the engine-house and shafts of three col lieries by heavy charges of dttnamltc. These wanton attacks upon private prop erty have been characteristic of the Dutch campaign. South Africans ex plain them on the theory that the Boers are aware that claims for damages to property In Natal and Cape( Colony, which will be presented after 'the war, can never be assessed against the farmers of the two commonwealths, but will be liquidated by the mlneowncrs ot the Rand. Accordingly the Bocri feel at lib erty to Inflict as much damage as possi ble, since tho Indemnity will come out of the mining Industry of the Rand In the form of taxation based on the profits of the companies. The theory is correct without doubt that Johannesburg will pay the piper when the war Is over. Neither Pretoria nor Bloemfonteln has resources for liquidating war Indemni ties and bills for damages. An official bulletin issued at Pretoria contains a survey of tho mllltnry situa tion In the various sections, and Implies that there Is activity all along the line. The Boer officials evidently find It neces essary to convey the Impression to their own people that the Dutch forces have not disbanded, but are actively emploted at various points. The only frerh claim of victory In this dispatch Is a report that General Froneman has defeated a British column and driven It across the Orange River. Thero Is no confirmation of this story from British sources, and, on the contrary, the attack on Colonel Dalgettys forco near Wepener has slackened., and there are pers'stent rumors that General Brabant has relieved the garrison after defeating the Boern. General Brabant Is on the way to Wepener with a strong mounted force, and reinforcements from Natal aro behind him. General Chcrm slde, with a full dltlslon. Is also moving east from Rcddcrsburg. and the Boers may be caught In a corner somen here In the southwestern section of the Free State. The general situation at Bloemfonteln Is unchanged. Military experts here do not ex pect an advance northward for a week or 10 daye, since Lord Roberts Is waiting for large shipments of horses; which hate barely arrived at Cape Town. They are also continced that General Butler will re main on the defensive and not attack Blg garsberg until the enemy's force has been drawn off by Lord Roberts' Invasion of the Transvaal. i e Defanlter Arreaieil.

MOVEMEXT MAY BEGIN IX A FEW DAYS. The British Troops Will Probably Move in Parallel Columns To ward the Transvaal Capital. LONDON, April 17. At last General Roberts seems to be on the eve ot making his advance toward Pretoria. Unless all usual reliable sources of Information and all Indications smuggled past the censor are at fault, the British army.- within a few days, will be marching northward. There is. even in best-Informed circles. considerable hesitancy In settling upon the day on which Lord Roberts 19 likely to leave Bloemfonteln. but there Is a set tled Impression that It will occur either at the end of this week or at the be ginning of next. Long, weary waiting In the Free State capital has apparently ef fected much-needed rehabilitation, though it Is probable that Lord Roberts would still further have delayed his advance had not Boer activity forced him to put his forces In such positions that, today, un less they quickly proceed northward, the strategic advantage wilt be lost. The critics agree In thevupposttlon that the advance will be made In parallel col umns, with a broad front west of the railroad, and the Third and Eighth Di visions sweeping northward to1 the ex treme northwest, the entire force amount ing to 75,000 men. Exactly what part Gen eral Duller will take Is still a secret which no one Is able to probe. From The Hague comes the news that the Boer delegates refuse to make public the object of their mtsslon.

The Boers for two dajs past have been dis playing great activity along the Jledders burg and Rouxvllle road.

By the closing ot -nine additional cigar factories the number of striking and locked-out clgarmakers In this city has been Increased to 5000. From the strike of the employes of Kerbs. Werthelmer & Schlffer. a month ago. the trouble among the clgarmakers has grown until nearly all the large fac tories In the city are lnt olved nnd several concerns have announced their Intention of moving from the city. It Is the dull sea son, and others of the manufacturers havt decided to take advantage of It to sus pend operations until their cmplotes tire of enforced Idleness. The average rate of weekly wages paid Is $6. The strikers demand an Increase of U per week for 10 hours' work. The threat of the manufacturers to remove their plants to some other place did not appear to cause much alarm. Members of the Ad visory Board declared that such action will not be taken for the .reason that clgarmakers are paid . higher wages In other places than In New York. Tallora Dispute Settled. CHICAGO.
