THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1900. EVE OF CONVENTION Afl Is Jn Readiness for the , Meeting Today. M'KINLEY BY ACCLAMATION A Three Days' Programme Ha Been Arranged hy the National Committee. PHILADELPHIA, June 18. Tomorrow, on the -44th anniversary of the day on which General John C. Fremont was nom inated by the first Republican Convention, held at Music Fund Hall, on Locust street, in this city, the National Republi can Convention wlH assemble at the Ex position building. In "West Philadelphia. The cymbals of a conquering: army never clashed with more vigor than they do here tonight. Amid the thousands of warriors there io but one choice for leader. His face is engraved on banners. It Is framed in flowers and in ivy on the walls; it adorns the w'ndows of the shops and looks down upon the swarming crowdy from every conspicuous place. McKinley again will lead the gray beards and the young men In the November battle. Ban ners are dipped before his portrait, and the mention of his name arouses enthu siasm. When Senator Foraker concludes his opeech In the convention Wednesday, a. s orm wild and tempestuous will phake the great hall. But that outburst of enthusiasm will only be the forerunner of tho pandimo nlum that will reign if Roosevelt should be named to stand beside him in the com ing battle. The s:ampede in his favor parted yesterday throw the town into delirium. It swept through the delega tions who had come 'with favorite sons to present like a prairie Are. Like an immense tidal wave it boro down every thing before it. Tho booms for the can didates of other men collapsed like sh&lls when It struck them. The sjcret was not hard to llnd. Piatt and Quay, whose ob ject is to humiliate Hanna, claim victory. They might congratulate themselves on their work. They wielded no magician's wand. The secret lay down in the hearts of the Republicans of the country. Roose velt's name, unlike that of other candi dates, instantly struck a responsive chord in the popular breast. It captured the heart of the convention. It mattered nothing to the rank and file that Hanna and Allison and Grosvenor and Thurnton and others felt chagrined and strained every nerve to stamp out the fire. It mattered not that even Roosevelt and his friends poured water upon it. Their ef forts were as futile as hand grenades against a conflagration. The people would hear of no one eiaa. They wore his pic tures, they shouted his name. They con sidered him today as already nominated. The town was Roooevelt mad. The Governor himself was sincerely anxious to avoid the nomination. Some of the friends of the other candidates, em bittered by tho havoc his udden accept ance created -nlth their favorite's chances, were heard to intimate that he had been flirting with the situation from the first. He appealed to them to stem tho tide, and they did what they could, reinforced at every point by Hanna and his lieutenants. General Greene, In his behalf, even called on the delegations and in bis name asked them not to support him. But the temper of the convention was undeniable. Human nature has its limits, so at 4 o'clock this afternoon, after a day of terrific pressure from both sides, Roose velt Issued, a statement. Though it .thrust aside the crown in words, it was regard ed as a virtual surrender to the will of the convention. The inside history of the struggle which preceded Roosevelt's an nouncement tflio secret conference of Hanna and his friends, the Joint confer ences with Roosevelt, the persuasion, ap peals, entreaties and even threats said I to have been used1 will make a chapter forever memorable. Every sort of story was afloat. It was said that Hanna served notice that Roosevelt's candidacy, although it would have been eminently acceptable at first, put forward as it was by the enemies of the Administration, did not now meet with approval, and that the fight would be carried to the last ditch. Roosevelt was said to have been told by his friends that to yield would be to stand in his own light as a candidate for Presi dent four years hence: the Vice-Presidency was a graveyard from which he could never be resuscitated. His place, they urged, was at the head of the ticket in New York again this Fall. In the last proposition Roosevelt concurred. On the other hand It was said Piatt emissaries argued that to turn his back on the manifest wish of the Republicans of the country would be to forfeit his Tight to the future support of the New York organization and the Republicans of the state would look elsewhere for a can didate for Governor. Of course, there are those who are always uncharitable enough to attribute sinister motives to Piatt. They Intimated that he desired to kill two birds with one stone eliminate Roosevelt from New York politics and humiliate Hanna for his uncomplimentary criticism of Woodruff. Gossip among New Yorkers even went so far as to sug gest that with Roosevelt transferred to the National ticket. Woodruff was already agreed upon as the candidate for Gover nor of New York. Roosevelt had also other advisers who Insisted that it would be suicide to decline the nomination. All day long, Hanna's efforts have been directed to the rebuilding of the booms wrecked yesterday in the Roosevelt tor nado. All favorite sons have been en couraged to remain In the race, and not without some success. The nomination of "Vice-President Is three days away. Much can be accomplished In that time by ebrewd, hard-headed political leaders. The delegates are all desirous of carrying out the President's wishes, and If the intima tion once became the conviction that McKinley himself would prefer another cand'date. the popular choice would be abandoned. Mr. Piatt very shrewdly decided that the New York delegation should not formally indorse Roosevelt. It is said that Roose velt Insisted upon this. Then. If he were nominated, it would be said that the nomination was forced on him. But while the New York delegation refrained from indorsing Roosevelt. Piatt la said to have passed the word to Quay and the Pennsylvania delegation to continue to fan the flames. All day the delegates and the crowds were abandoning themselves to the Joys of the hour. From dawn until midnight the air never ceased to throb to the pulsa tions of the music, and the streets con stantly re-echoed the steady tramp of feet of marching clubs parading with fly irg banner. Tonight the throngs were enthusiastic with delight. As a prelude to the event with the flash and scream of rockets and the glnre of Greek Are, turning night into day, 30.000 organized Republicans marched through the streets amid great enthusiasm. The crowds over flowed the sidewalks till the procession seemed to force Its way through the packed mass of humanity as a strong vessel plows her course up stream through packed ice In Winter. Although the work of the convention could be compassed within two days, the National committee has arranged a three days' programme, with one session of the convention each day. The nights will be filled in with receptions, smokers, en tertainments at the clubs, and open-alr mectmgs. Tomorrow the session of the convention probably will be brief. It will be called to order by Chairman Hanna and Sena tor Wolcott, the brilliant Colorado prator, as temporary chairman, will deliver hit keynote address. A call of the roll and the announcement of the standing com mlttees, with the perfection of the per- manent organization, will wind up the proceedings of the day. CATHOLIC FEDERATION. Plaa to Organise All Societies in the United. Statea. NOT' YORK. June IS. With a view to present action, a project that has for its object the federation of all the societies in the United States composed of Roman Catholic laymen is being discussed in Catholic circles throughout the country. Some Influential clergymen and laymen are Interested. By the plan all Catholic societies are to become affiliated, although each separate organization Is to retain- its Individuality. The Idea is to have all tba members of the societies subject to a cen. tral direction eo that all may work to gether whenever neceesary for any special purpose. It is argued that Roman Catholics In this country are unfairly treated in some re spects. The projectors of this union hold that Catholic voters would be able to right whatever wrongs are now declared to exist. IS HE SETTING Bishop McFaul, of Trenton, N. J., Is a warm supporter of the project. He has prepared an address, which is being circu lated extensively in support of the federa tion Idea, In which he says: "We are American citizens. Bigotry should not be allowed to deprive us of tho exercise and enjoyment of any of our rights. We are 12,000009 In America, yet how small Is our Influence? What rep resentation have we In state and National affairs when we measure It In the propor tion we bear to the whole population of the country? If a Catholic presumes to j stand for any political office, that came Individual who has enjoyed the benefit of our suffrages may "be the first to cry out Don't vote for him; he Is a Catholic." "All honor to the Protestants for the courage with which they stand In defense of their rights." AN UNEVENTFUL DAY. Tio Settlement of St. Lonis Strike Posse Not Dlichnrjred. ST. LOUIS, Juno IS. Today was the most uneventful day In the history of the street railway strike. This was owing to the discontinuance of all negotiations tending toward tht settlement of the con troversy, and to utter absence of trouble along numerous routes of the Transit Company. A sllcht stir was caused during the "day by Sheriff Pohlman, who proposed that the posse comltatus, comprising 2300 citizen soldiers, be discharged. Conference of police and posse ofnclals tlrrew a wet blanket on the Sheriff's proposition by emphatically declaring tho time not yet ripe for dispersing the body. The Coro ner's Inquest today brought out nothing of Importance. Tho dynamite fiend was abroad again tonight, and at midnight five more or less dtea-bled cars attested to his skll'ful placing of explosives. No one was in jured. KXIGHTS OF LABOR. General Assembly Meeting: in "Wash ington Interrupted. WIASHINGTON, June IS. A special meeting of the general assembly of tho Knights of Labor, acting under a call of Master Workman Chamberlain, began here today. The meeting had hardly set tled down to business when a policeman entered tho hall and arrested Messrs. Parsons, O'Keefe and Connor, of the ex ecutive board, and Martin, Healy, Dally and Armstrong, on a warrant sworn out by an employe of Mr. Hayes, charging them with malicious irespafs. They were released on ball. Tho supporters of Mr. Hayes then barricaded the door and pro ceeded with the meeting. Tho preliminary work of appointing a credentials committee was proceeded with and the assembly took a Tecees until af ternoon, pending tho report from that committee. After then- release from court, Mr. Parsons and his friends returned to headquarters, and an effort was made to hold another meeting of the general assembly, when the police, under Cap tain Austin, acting on complaint of Sec retary Hayes, threatened to clear the hall and both factions Tetlred. The doors were closed and remained tightly locked for the remainder of the day. Woodworkers Strike. CHICAGO, Juno IS. Nearly 2000 mem bers of the Amalgamated Woodworkers' Union met last evening in secret session to consider the refusal of the manufac turers to enter Into a new agreement granting a 10 per cent increase of wages. The result of the meeting will not be of ficially declared before Wednesday, but It Is believed that the union decided to strike in the event of a second refusal on tho part of the manufacturers. Between now and Wednesday a committee repre senting the woodworkers will communi cate with the manufacturers and endeav or to reach an amicable understanding on the wage question. The demand for an Increase of wages comes from the employes, numbering about 3000. In the event of a general strike of the woodworkers, fully 5000 men would be affected. The Typewriter Invention. A statistician has proved that the In vention of the typewriter has given em ployment to 503,O people, but he fails to state how many cases of weak stom achs and dyspepsia it has Induced. All people of sedentary occupation need Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters. It helps nature to bear the strain which ensues from confinement, and It Is a wonderful medi cine. No one realizes this more keen'y than the man or woman who ha hnen cured of stomach trouble by its use. QUARANTINE WITHDRAWN TREASURY DEPARTMENT DIRECTS RESCIXDMETTT OF ORDER.

America has a magnificent opportunity in the Orient, if she will only reach out and take :t. A people which has done so much and has taken advantage of so many chances will surely net fall to reap for Its commerce the benefits which u has earned by Its bravery. The poa;es slon c-f the Philippine Is ar.ds brings th; United States close up to the greatest markets In the world markets wh.cn have only juet begun to be dvelcped. tut which have already shown a capaclty for development that a great commer2 al p;orle will understand. There are many millions of people In China and they are ready to buy from other nations the thing3 which they can use. Some In America seem to think that the Ch'nsse new manufacture practically ad that is sufficient for their cwn needs. Far frcm it. Of course, It is true that for centu ries before China was open to foreign trade its people made the goods they u?d, and this seemed sufflclent; but now Ch.na Is open to foreign trade, and manufactured goods come from Amsr.ca and Europe. We buy them readily. America can sell us goods more cheap.y than our people could manufacture them. This is true especial.- of cotton clcth. That which we manufacture ourselves we weave wlth cur own hands, and it 13 very durable; but the American prod uct Is very fine in comparison, and now It has come to be In common use with us. In some parts of the empire Amer ' lean and Eng.lsh cottons have taken al- most entirely the place of our native manufacture. With finer dresses, silks and that sort of thing. It Is not yet true; but with cheaper articles It Is. China takes kindly to Improvements We have not only the railroad, but the telegraph and the telephone. The tele graph lines extend throughout the length and breadth of China. There Is not a province now without the telegraph. The lirst cable In China was laid by the Dan ish company, and our principal telegraph company Is now superintended by a Dan ish engineer. The first telegraph com pany was organized by an offlclal named Sheng H3itan Hual. commonly known as Sheng Taotal. He Induced Chinese mer chants to subscribe and built the line under government protection. The line extended from Tien Tsin for a short dis tance; then It was continued to Shang hai; then to Pekin. and so branched out from north to south, from east to west. This, was 20 years ago, and the telegraph built by private enterprise under govern ment control, with Danish operatives. In the main now covers a wide extent of territory. When it came to extending tho system to more remote parts of the country, the private commercial company did not like to undertake the construc tion and so the government has built these lines Itself. Thus there are practi cally two systems, one semiofficial, the other solely under government control. The telephone has been Introduced mor? recently. The first telephones were brought In by foreigners for their own convenience, and their use spread gradu ally. The first line was put up -at Shang hai and others followed in different treaty ports. They are all managed by different private companies. We have no long-distance telephone as yet, but that will come In time. With the railroad, tho telegraph, the telephone, and a great population thickly settling a vast extent of territory, the future possibilities of the Chinese trada must appeal to tho commercial instincts of the United States. With a foothold In the Philippines, Amer ica will have a great advantage over other nations which lack possessions in that part of the world. If Americans know how to turn- this to gocd account, they will be able to do wonders. A jVcw- Xavnl Formation. Philadelphia Record.

Mr. Eugene Simmons, Oregon City, Or.: My case was of long standing, the result of repeated colds. My nose was continually stopping up and at times I could not breathe through It at all, but was forced to breathe through my mouth, which had the tendency to keep tho throat Irritated and dry. There was a watery discharge from the nose and drip ping into the throat. As long as the disease was confined to my head and throat I didn't pay much attention to it. Finally Its effects be came constitutional, and when I be gan treatment at the Copeland Institute I was In bad shape. Everything I ato caused me great distress: I had heart burn and sour stomach. My stomach was f Mr. Eutrene Slmmoni, Orejcon City, Or., Cared of Catarrh of Head and Stomach. sore and tender. TIth a feeling of weight and fullness. I had heart palpitation, ac companied by short breathing. These at tacks usually came on after eating, and left me weak and miserable. I had lost weight and strength and was very ner vous. So much so that I could not s eep. I was under the cars of a well-recom-monded doctor for some time, but he could do nothing but take my money, for I, got no better. Then on the advice of a friend, Mr. Harry Caldwell, whose testi monial was published a few weeks ago, I went to the Copeland Institute. The doctor seemed to get at the very root of my trouble, and now T feel so we'.l that I can corsclentlously recommend the Copeland treatment to others. My breath ing Is natural, and my stomach In good condition. I have gained 20 pounds, and sleep well all night. Mr. A. D. HosUIn-i. McMInnvIlle, Or.: I was a great sufferer from rheu matism and catarrh, and It seemed I could not be cured. I feel better now than I have In a long time. I am al waya glad to recommend the Copeland treatment, for It brought me a cure. yardi' from the next, bir: the space can be reduced. In case of more vessels un der the command the excess would form a reserve, with torpedo-boats added to it. This new order of battle is held to require fewer signals than others.
