ANOTHER DAY OF IT
No Nominations Yesterday by
Philadelphia Convention.
GIVEN UP TO ROUTINE HATTERS
A. Permanent Organisation Wai Ef
fected, and the Platform Was
Unanimously Adopted.
JHILADELPHIA. June 30. President
McKlnley was not renominated at the sea-,
eloa of the Republican National Conven
tion today. But tomorrow will witness,
In all probability, the unparalleled scene
of both Presidential and "Vice-Presidential
candidates being nom.tna.ted by acclama
tion. Senator Hanna threw up the sponge
today. He found he could not stem the
tide of the popular favorite without using
the direct Influence of the Administra
tion at Washington, and' this he could
not get. Possibly even, with it he might
have failed. But without it the task was
hopeless. Tho President would have no
hand in an effort to control the conven
tion. He made known directly to Mr.
Hanna his wish that the will of the con
vention should not be thwarted, and when
that unequivocal word came, Mr. Hanna
reluctantly abandoned the fight. With
this retirement frpm the contest of tne
Empire state Governor, nominations coula
have been made before the convention
adjourned today.
The original programme was to renomi
nate President McKlnley today and to
nominate the candidate for Vice-President
tomorrow. But the National Republican
Committee had made a compact with the
local Philadelphia committee to keen the
convention here for three days, and it waai
reared tnat If the nomination for Presi
dent was made today the convention
might take the bit in Its teeth and wlna
up the .business before dark.
All the preparations for the President's
nomination at this session had been per
fected. Hundreds of red, white and blue
plumes, attached to long staffs, had been
taken down Into the delegates pit before
the convention met and there stowed away
for the Inevitable moment when the climax
should be reached. As they were carried
into the pit by the ushers while the con
vention was assembled they recalled tho
magnificent scene at St. Louis four yeara
ago, when similar plumes set the conven
tion wild with delight during the famous
McKlnley nomination.
Hanna Would Take No Risks.
Considering the temper of the delegates
and the crowds. Mr. Hanna decided to
take no risks. And consequently, the Im
mense throngs which blackened the vast
amphitheater today were compelled to
content themselves with the routine inci
dents connected with the permanent or
ganization, an oration by Senator Lodge.
the- permanent chairman, and the scene
which attended the unanimous adoption
of, the platform. Then they returned to
the city to wait another 24 hours for the
'nominations which they had traveled.
some hundreds, some thousands, of miles
to witness. It wae a great disappoint
ment to most of them. The business of
the convention moved so smoothly that
the session did not afford them an op
portunity to let off steam. There was
not the slightest Jar. The wheels moved
as noiselessly as a Corliss engine. Tho
hand of Hanna was at the helm. He was
an experienced and accomplished mana
ger. Not an eccentric slipped.
At one point, when the convention.
scaped on a sand bar over a proposi
tion advanced by ex-Senator Quay, of
Pennsylvania, to cut down tho represent
ation of the Southern States In future
conventions to a basis of polled votes for
the Republican candidate, the lever was
reversed, and the convention promptly
backed off, thus avoiding the shoal by
postponing a decision on the subject until
tomorrow. The Southern delegates, with
out regard to color, race or previous con
dition, are very much Incensed over what
they regard as a blow at their power In
National conventions, and the growl they
emitted today Indicates that they prom
ise to fight In their effort to avert It.
Again today Governor Roosevelt carried
off the honors. His entrance was the sig
nal for the most pronounced demonstra
tion of the session. It was dramatic as
that of yesterday, and was practi
cally a repetition of his experience then.
Ho still wore his Rough Rider hat. Some
of his austerity had departed. With the
relaxation of Mr. Hanna' s opposition, the
Governor realized that he must succumb
to the Inevitable. And he appeared re
signed to his fate. Only once did he seem
to resent the popular acclamations. That
was when Senator Wolcott, who Is one of
his ardent supporters, gave the crowd op
portunity to cheer him by naming hlra on
the committee to escort Henry Cabot
Lodge, the permanent chairman, to the
platform. He made no effort to conceal
the annoyance he felt at being thus
dragged into view.
- Chairman Lodge's Oration.
Senator Lodge, young, brilliant, already
famous as a scholar, statesman and his
torian, made a fine figure as he delivered
bis address as permanent chairman. His
finely poised head, close-cropped. Iron
gray beard, delicately chiseled features
and slender, athletic frame were clearly
outlined as he faced the convention. His
voice.- though resonant, has a donw-East
rasplness, but his delivery Is pleasing and
forceful, and his speech was the scholarly,
elear-ent effort expected of him. But it
covered the same general ground Senator
Wolcott went over. yesterday, and, though
some of the- fine periods el tolled applause,
as a whole it did not stir up any great
enthusiasm. Neither did the reading of
the platform, a very 3trong document, by
Senator Fairbanks, and for the same rea
son. Both, in different forms, were epitomes
of the record of the Administration, upon
which the party will ask the country to
return It to power a record eloquently
placed before the convention yesterday by
Senator Wolcott.
The most striking Incident of the day
was the appearance on the stage of the 15
Burrivors of the original convention, held
in Locust street. In this city, in 1S5G. All
the stirring memories of the exciting days
when the country was on the verge of the
bloody conflict over slavery swelled up as
those old lovers of liberty faced a new
generation bearing in their hands the
faded, tattered flag of a generation that
has passed Into history. Senator Hawley.
of Connecticut, was the only one of the 15
who still holds a prominent place upon'
the stage of the pressnt. The cheer that
went up at sight of them shook the build
ing. It rose again more tumultously
when their spokesman announced their
unwavering allegiancu to the party they
had helped to bring forth.
Two historic gavelet one from, the tree
under which the Immortal Garfield won
his' star at the battle of Middle Creek.
Ky: another made from the wood of the
old Capitol at Providence, R. L.- and
adorned with the bronze from the hull of
the America's cup defender, Colombia,
were presented to the convention during
the day. Tomorrow the convention will
meet at 10' o'clock In the morning, and
Its labors will probably be over by 3
P. M.
SECOND DAT OF THE CONVKNTXON.
Tempomrr Organisation Made Per
manent and Platform Adopted.
CONVENTION HALL, PHILADEL
PHIA, Juha 38. it was almost 11 o'clock
when tho advance guard of the great army
of visitors crossed the Schuykill and be
sieged the doors of Convention HalL
In' street-cars, carriages and afoot the
pedple streamed through the, SO entrances
to the hall. The populace flowed unceas
ingly, gradually spreading over and blot
ting out the great waste of unpalnted pine
chairs.
As yesterday, the delegations were siow
In arriving but the distinguished guests
were oa hand somewhat earlier. Ex-Postmaster-General
Gary was conspicuous
on the stage, and in prominent seats over
looking the delegates pit sat Adjutant
General Corbln and General Bates.
Shortly after 11 o'clock the hlg munici
pal band of 65 pieces took its piace In
the galleries opposite the stage, and a
few minutes later the strains of one of
Sousa's stirring marches crashed out. '
Some members of the -National Legis
lative League of the Woman Suffragists
were busily engaged while tho delegates
were 'asismbllng' distributing appeals for
a declaration by thd convention favor
able to Woman suffrage.
As yesterday, many of the leading
lights or the Republican party came in
without causing a flurry. The first dem
onstration occurred when Senator Hanna
entered. He could hardly make, his way
to the platform, owing to the pressure
of tho delegates to greet him as he passed
through the pit.
Senator Foraker, handsome and debon
air, aroused the next outburst.
At 12 o'clock, after Senator Hanna had
reached the platform, the ushers carried
Into the pit great bunches of red, white
and blue pampas plumes. They looked
like the plumes which were In evidence at
St. Louis four years ago. . "
'"Our Chauncey" was not overlooked
today, and there was a great flutter of
handkerchiefs from the ladles as he came
In, but It was Governor Roosevelt who
set the convention wild. He was still
wearing his Rough Rider hat, He appeared
at the main entrance, and Instantly the
crowds cheered frantically. As yester
day, he pushed his way toward his seat,
but his progress was impeded by the
throng of delegates. Senator Piatt was
by his side. The Governor bowed right
and left to the plaudits of the multitude.
While the Roosevelt demonstration was
In progress, the' eyes of the multitude
were suddenly directed to a Btrange spec
tacle In the center of the stage, as the
Chinese Minister, Wu Ting-fang, re
splendent In rich Oriental silks and ac
companied by Mr. Chung, Secretary of
the Legation, also richly robed In silks,
came dovvn the middle aisle of the plat
form. Minister Wu was greeted at tho
entrance by Senator Burrows, who Intro
duced him to several distinguished public
men crowding about.
Ex-Postmaster-General Gary, of Mary
land, a close friend of Mr. Wu, offered
the Minister his arm and the two pro
ceeded out towards the delegates. ' The
Minister smiled through his spectacles
and acknowledged in English, the many
salutations. General Gary .seated the.
Minister and- his entourage immediately
alongside the delegates.
"Not a word from China," said Minister
Wu, when asked as to the alarming re
ports as' to Pekin. "We are wholly In
the dark, except for what the press
brings, and we hope andsincerely believe
the conditions, are not as bad jus .pictured.
I am here unofficially as an observer to
see how the American people select their
candidates for the Presidency."
Governor Taylor, of Kentucky, received
a distinct ovation Just as Senator Wol
cott was preparing to call the convention
to order. The great hall was now black
with people and the' scene was Inspiring
as the eye roamed over the acres of
humanity.
Convention Called to Order.
At 12:26. Senator Wolcott rapped for
order. Immediately the band started up.
the "Star-Spangled Banner" and the
vast multitude rose en masse. Governor
Roosevelt again being first on his
feet. Senator Wolcott again rapped
for order as the swelling strains floated
away. When the confusion had subsided.
Rev. Charles M. Boswell opened the pro
ceedings with prayer. A few -of the dele
gates arose. While the Invocation was
being delivered two snap shots were taken
of the convention. Rev. Mr. Boswell said:
"Out Heavenly Father, we come to
Thee, the Creator of men and the up
holder of governments. Our fathers
trusted in Thee and were helped, and
where they led may we gladly and bold
ly follow. We thank Thee for the land
In which we live, for Its beloved ruler,
the prosperity of Its people and
tho victories of its Army and Navy. May
these be abundantly continued.
'"We bless Thee for having brave and
wise men In charge of our executive, leg
islative and Judicial affairs In trying
times. May it always be so with Amenca,
"We praise Thee for these men who
have left their occupations and homes
to transact "business for their country
by attending this convention. May Thy
special favor rest upon them. Guide
them In their deliberations, platform and
candidates and may these be such as shall
be approved by tho people and may they
corrtlanre to keep our dear old country,
whose flag we love today better than ever
before, 4n the lead among the respected
for liberty and humanity.
"Give these delegates and their friends
a healthful and pleasant stay among us
and preserve their loved ones from harm
while they are absent from them.
"Especially remember those who are
bearing arms for us in distant lands and
hasten the day when all wars shall cease
and Thine shall bo the honor and glory
forever. Amen."
A remarkable tribute to the flag and
to tho pioneers of the Republican party
now occurred. Mr. Wolcott stepped for
ward and stated that 15 survivors of the
first Republican convention called at
Pittsburg 44 years ago were present with
the same old flag used in the conven
tion. At that moment a file of white
haired patriarchs appeared from the rear
bearing at their head a faded flag, tat
tered and barely held together by a
cross staff. As the flag appeared the
audience arose, delegates, rpectators and
guests, and a deafening salute went up
for the faded standard and Its venerable
upholders.
Tho 15 whlre-hadred men ranged them
selves side, by side looking out on the
sea of faces. Alongside the flag, another
standard bore the legend. "National Fre
mont Association Republican Party, Or
ganized February 22, 1356, at Pittsburg.
Pa."
When the storm of applause had sub
sided, the delegation read a resolution
declaring their unwavering allegiance .to
the party they had helped to bring forth.
The resolutions regretted the inability of
many of the members of the National
Fremont Association to be present, be
cause of advanced age, and designated
Mayor H. R. Long and J. K. Conner to
represent them. The resolutions concluded
with the" declaration that "we heartily

HANNA MAKESTHE ANNOUNCEMENT
New Torks Governor "Will Today Bo
Nominated Unanlmoasly- for Vice-
President.
PHILADELPHIA, June 23. Senator
Hanna tonight issued this statement:
"The Administration has had no candi
date for Vice-President. It has not been
for or against any candidate. It has been
deemed that the convention should make
SENATOR H.
PERMANENT CHAIRMAN, OF THE
the candidate, and that -has been my posl- t
tlon throughout. It is a free field for
LftlU, Jfo these circumstances, several emi
nent .KcpuDHcans nave Deen proposed; au
of them "dtstinguisaed -men with many
friends.
"I will now say, on behalf of all those
candidates, and I except none, that I have
within the last 12 hours been asked to
give my advice. After consulting with as
many . delegates as possible within tho
time at my disposal, I have concluded to
accept the responsibility Involved in this
request. In the. pwsent situation, with
tho strong and earnest sentiment of the
delegates from all. parts of the country
for Roosevelt, and since President Mc
Klnley Is to be. renominated without a
dissenting voice. It fa my judgment that
Governor Roosevelt should be nominated
for Vice-President with-tho same unanim
ity." This announcement of Senator Hanna
was made after a long consultation with
many -leaders of the party. He called all
the newspaper men Into one ot the rooms
where the consultations bad taken placo
and read It from manuscript.
Just before the statement .was given
out. Chairman Odell, of New York, spent
a fevt minutes In the room and. when
he came out, said:
"The whole matter got into a snarl and
was left to Senator Hanna to arbitrate
and his decision Is that the Vice-Presidency
should go to 'New York and Roose
velt will bo nominated."
The programme Is to have Iowa with
draw Dolllver and nominate Roosevelt.
Massachusetts will withdraw 'Long and
second the nomination. Probably other
states with candidates will follow suit.
This will enable the convention to finish
its business and adjourn tomorrow.
Withdrawal of Dolllver.
Immediately following Mr. Hanna's an
nouncement of tho withdrawal of all the
other candidates and the nominaflon of
Governor Roosevelt for Vice-President by
acclamation, Mr. Dolllver authorized the
following statement:
My candidacy has been wholly un
solicited; I have not up to this moment
spoken one word seeking the nomination
to even a member of my own delegation.
Tonight Mr. Long, Mr. Scott and myself
pieced our candidacies Into Mr. Hanna's
hands to dispose of as he saw fit. It was
agreed that our names would not be pre
sented 'to the convention, and upon my
request Mr. Lafe Young, of my state,
will place Mr. Roosevelt" s name in nomi
nation in behalf of the Nation."
Tho convention did not proceed to nom
inations today, because all parties in In
terest could not be reached. Secretary
Long's friends had not been able to com
municate with him, and they did not
feel authorized to withdraw him until ho
could be Informed of the situation and
his consent obtained. It is quite proba
ble that had It been possible to get Long's
consent, both nominations would have
been made today. It was deemed desir
able not to- nominate McKlnley until the
convention was all ready to nominate his
running mate. In fact, it Is known that
the plan for nominating Roosevelt by ac
clamation Is tied up with the nomination
of McKlnley, In order to gratify the
wishes of some of tho men.. who have
been pushing Roosevelt's claims very
bard, and those who are engineering the
latest arrangement had no objection.
Roosevelt Will Accept.
There are two men who might prevent
Roosevelt's nomination, but It Is doubt
ful If' even they could stem the tide. They
are William McKlnley and Theodore
RoosevelU The latter possibly could do
so by making an absolute declaration
that he would not accept the nomination
if made, but now it is doubtful if even
that kind ot a declaration, would stop the
stampede. If there was a direct intima
tion from the President that he did not
want Roosevelt nominated. It would cause
e. pause, but It would not necessarily
prevent the consummation of the plan
for the selection of Roosevelt. But no
such action is to the least anticipated.
In fact, the news pervaded the conven
tion and circulated among the delegates
today that the. President did not want the
Administration used to Influence the dele
gates for or against any candidate. Mr.
Hanna declared that this had been the
4ssjB9SMMBBSBnMBasaMansnS9aaBaBnManBinanHitBBnBSsr
position of the President all along, and
that his wishes had been respected. The
free choice of the convention has eeen
Roosevelt from the first, and It has been
his own personally expressed wish that
he should not be nominated, together
with the earnest wish of Mr. Hanna In
the same direction, that has stayed the
tide even for a short time.
Roosevelt himself knows that he will be
nominated and will make no statement,
nor Is there the least probability that he
will decline the nomination when made.
This la bo well understood that delega
tion after delegation today, either by
direct vote or by a general understand-
i lng among themselves, came over to him.
and made his nomination assured, no mat
ter how it Is brought about.
The convention will meet at 10 o'clock
In the morning, and the leaders are sanguine-
enough to believe tonight that
everything will be over by 3 o'clock. The
programme for the nomination of Vice
President is complete, and New York
State will not be embarrassed in its se
lection of Lieutenant-Governor Woodruff
as Its candidate. It Is, Indeed, possible
that Lieutenant-Governor Woodruff may
C. LODGE.
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION
himself make the motion, em. behalf of
New York State, to suspend the rules
and make Rooesvelt's nomination unani
mous. That Is the probable way that
New York will relieve Itself. It may be
said definitely that Governor Roosevelt
knows this, and with equal positlveness.
It may be. declared that he will accept
the nomination.
Woodruff Slakes the Best of It.
Most significant Is the attitude of the
Woodruff element. Mr. Woodruff him
self was not even ruffled. He smiled
as he said: "I told Senator Hanna this
morning that L believe nothing could be'at
Mr. Roosevelt for the nomination. I fur
ther told him that I had always believed
that there would be a great sentiment for
him and I never believed that I stood any
chance to be nominated If he was taken
up by the convention. I do believe that
it is not a combination that will nomi
nate him, but a genuine demand by the
people."
"Will you move to make Mr. Roose-
-velt's nomination by acclamation. If he
has sufficient votes when New York is
reached?" was asked.
. "No, I don't, think so," he said with a
Sfinkle of the eye. "I won't have to.
eMI be nominated by acclamation long
before the New York delegation gets a
chance to vote."
Mr. Woodruff Is not a delegate, but
could be substituted for tho purpose if
such a course Is decided upon.
In few. If any. National conventions
has the question of a Governorship of a
state, in this instance New York, en
tered so plainly In the flght for Nation
al nominations. The removal of Governor
Roosevelt from the fleld brings two men
prominently forward Benjamin B. Odell
and Timothy L. Woodruff. Senator Piatt's
lllnes?, which compelled him to go back
to New York today. Is not sudden. For
months he has been ailing, and his frlend3
are alarmed, and believe that he may soon
have to retire from the political arena.
A vacant United States Senatorshlp. to be
filled by the next New York State Legis
lature, would leave two offices. Governor
and Senator, for two candidates. It ha3
been known that Mr. Odell has guberna
torial aspirations, while Mr. Woodruff
would like to be In Washington. It is
argued that with Governor Roosevelt on
the National ticket, either man can have
an opportunity to secure tho state nomi
nation. .
TKIPP 'WITHDRAWS.
Asks Hia Friends to Cast Their Votes
for Rooievelt.
PHILADELPHIA, June 20. Judge Bart
lett Tripp today authorized James M.
Aahton, of Washington, formally to an
nounce that he had withdrawn from the
Vice-Presidential contest. Judge Tripp's
desire was, Mr. Ashton said, that the
delegates who had formed the nucleus of
his support should cast their votes for
Governor Roosevelt. Pursuant to 'this re
quest, Mr. Ashton announced that a large
majority of the delegates from the States
of Washington, Oregon. Utah and North
and South Dakota would support the Em
pire State's Governor.
It Is known, however, that the Oregon
delegation of eight, whose policy hither
to was to support Roosevelt, has a very
fiiend&y .feeling for Secretary Long. That
the delegation will support Long, accept
ing Roosevelt's statement that he does
n't desire the nomination, was asserted
confidently by a member of the delega
tion todaj.
The Wisconsin delegation had a meet-
flng this morning, and hardly were the
doors closed when Mr. Payne arose and
in a vehement speech declared that Roose
velt would be the nominee of the conven
tion. "It Is time this factional business in
New York State should be settled from
the outside." he said. "This is a Na
tional, not a state gathering. We are
here to nominate a National ticket, not
to dicker over New York State's personal
affairs." (Applause.)
Then, raising his hand, he said in an im
pressive and impassioned manner;
"Before Wisconsin is reported on the
roll-call, willing ov unwilling, Theodore
(Concluded on Second P&ze.)
NOT FOR TOM PLATT
But to Demand of the People
Roosevelt at Last Yields.
HE HAS WON IN THE GAMI
The Administration Fell In Wtta tX
Popular Feellae and Accepted
the New York Governor.
PHILADELPHIA. June SO. In marked
contrast with the rapt attenti$i accord
Wolcott yesterday were the indifference
and discourtesy against which both Lodge
and Fairbanks struggled today. The gal
leries were simply tumultuous, and tha
delegates conversed in ordinary tones oc
read newspapers. A sport and trimmer
with winning ways is the ideal ot this
convention, if his lungs are of brass and
his .vocals mellifluous, to the discredit of
a thinker like Lodge or an honest mnn
like Fairbanks.
The determination upon Roosevelt for
Vice-President is due to two things. Ona
i3 Roosevelt's triumph last night in tha
New York delegation. Then It is'belleved
the scepter of power departed from Piatt
and passed to the ambitious Governor. Af
ter the session Roosevelt gave the Im
pression that ho was at last willing to
accept the nomination. Another way o
putting it is to say that Roosevelt 13 will
ing to be the nominee of the West and
the people, though not to be the victim of.
Piatt's purpose to unseat Mm. The other
reason for the determination of Roosevelt
is furnished In our shrewd President.
The desire ot Hanna to serve the great
corporate interests which dread, the pos
sibility of Roosevelt's accession to tha
Presidency through accident to McKln
ley. has been overborne by the man at
the White House, whose ear always at
tuned to popular feeling-, has caught the
wave ot enthusiasm for the New York
Governor, and wishes to profit by it. It
is In reality a victory for the people, and
the corporations must console themselves
with the reflection that this disposition of

Roosevelt Is entirely acceptable to tha
Oregon delegation. He was their flrst
choice, though thoy were ready to vote for
Tripp If there had been any show for Mm.
Ashton of WasMngton has been mak
ing himself and some others ridiculous by
claiming the vote of several far West

Western men might have supported
Quays proposal for revised representation
in the National convention if the new
list had been based on the vote of 1900
mstead cf 1S3S. Idaho men in particular
considered it inequitable that New York
and Pennsylvania should have.the benefit
of tha abnormal Republican vote of 1SS6,
while the Rocky Mountain Stateinnus be
gauged by their spasmodic vote for

May End the Rebellion.
WASHINGTON. June 20.-Secretary
Root said tonight that the text of the
amnesty proclamation would be published
tomorrow in Manila and Washington sim
ultaneously. The proclamation gives a
free pardon to all FiHpinos who have
participated in tho rebellion against the
United States, the only condition being
that they take the oath of allegiance and
acknowledge the sovereignty of the Unit
ed States. It excludes no one, except
those who have violated the laws of war.
The proclamation, the Secretary raid, will
speak for Itself, and will go into effect
Immediately. The time, considering the
facilities for communication In the Islands
for acceptance of the amnesty proclama
tion by those still In rebellion, is limited,
being only 30 or 60 days. Tho proclama
tion is very brief, and is plain andv simple.
Its terms not comprising more than can
be put on a single sheet of typewriting.
The Issuance of the amnesty proclama.
tlon will mark a distinct advance In the
progress ot the arms ot the United States
in the restoration of order in the PMllp
pines. The situation has been steadily
improving in the islands for some time
past, and it is thought that the time is
opportune for pardon of all those Fili
pinos who have borne arms against the
authority of the United States and have
opposed then authority as a mere
cloak, for robbery, murder and other
crimes. It Is confidently said that the
result of the proclamation will be a quiet
submission by those Filipinos who have
not yet given in their edhesion to the con
trol of the islands by the United States.
The promulgation of amnesty has been
under consideration for some months, and
the decision to issue it at this time was
reached only after advices from, a number
of sources that the time was ripe, and
that assurances had been received that it
would meet with a worthy response from
those to whom It was addressed. It has
been mado known to the Administration
that the Influential classes among the
Filipinos were anxious for an end of hos
tilities and for a resumption of com
merce, free from, the harossments of small
bands of armed men. The vigor of the
pursuit of those bearing arms, it was- like
wise reported, 'had disheartened the Fili
pino soldiers still holding out, and many
ot them were not willing to surrender
their arms on assurances of their personal
safety. In addition, a better understand
ing of the purpose ot the United States
toward them is now known to prevail
among the Filipinos, and their hostility
to American control has abated in a
great degree. With the general accept
ance of amnesty, it Is expected our troops
will not be kept In such ceaseless activity
and the pacification of the Islands will go
forward more quietly and more rapidly.
