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.

AMERICA IN CHINA.
Manila A'cxt Door to World's Great
est Markets.
M'nfcter Wu Ting Fang In Ainslle's.
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.

More Plain Talk From People You Know.
CATARRH OF HEAD
AND STOMACH CURED.
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

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

treatment, for It brought me a cure.

SAPOLIO
Indeed, with many of the more serious
cases where long-neglected Catarrhal dis
ease Invading the Bronchial Tubes, which
convey the air to tho lungs, has taken
the final advance Into tho tissues of the
lungs themrelves, has reached the end of
tho road lined with the mucous mem
brane upon which it lives and feeds, and,
finding no new tissue, settles down to
feed upon the lung cells with many of
theso serious cases treatment during the
Spring and Summer months is the only
hope. Little. If any, help can be prom
ised them during tho "Winter.
It Is then during the Samraer that
Catarrh In. Its early stages, Involv

It Is then only daring: the Smramer

Bliss M. A. Taylor, 440 East Sher
man etxeet, Portland: I suffered from
catarrh since childhood. Tho worst of my
trouble was in my stomach and bowels.
Everything I ate gave me great distress,
followed by bloating and -belching. My
stomach was sore and tender. I had diar
rhoea, with gas and gurgling In the bow

had a ringing and buzzing In the left ear
and my hearing was very dull. I began
a course of treatment at the Copeland
