FLOOD OF REVENUE STAMPS Government Has to Rent an Outside Building to Store Those Returned. "WASHINGTON. Sept. 10. Commissioner Ycrkea, of the Internal Revenue Bureau, has been compelled to rent an outside building in which to receive and store checks and drafts bearing Imprinted stamps now being sent In for redempUon. The original act providing for the redemp tion of these imprinted stamps limited the tlrao within which they could be present ed for redemption to two years from the time they were purchased from the Gov ernment. Subsequently that time was ex tended to January 1, 1904. Almost immedi ately after the act wag passed banks and large business houses began sending in their surplus stocks. So far 194 tons have been destroyed or returned to the senders after cancellation, and there are now about 60 Ions on hand, with the daily receipts almost equaling the cancellations.

REPRESENTATIVES ARE NAMED .Tones, Cushman and Humphrey Win Easily Hadley In Nominated for Supreme J nil pre by Acclama tionThe Platform. One of the moot exciting' conventions la tbe history of the Republican party of Washington came to a close yester day, and Governor McBrlde now finds himself, without question, the dictator of the policies of his party In "Washi ngton. His railway commission scheme was adopted by a good majority, and his administration Indorsed. Repre sentatives Jones and Cushman were re nominated, while the ' third Congres sional nomination went - to Will Humphrey, of Seattle. Hon. Hiram E. Hadley was nominated for Supreme Judge by acclamation. TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 10. (Staff corre spondence,) Wih both sides confident of victory up to the last moment. Governor McBrlde's pet measure, the appointive railroad commission plank In the Repub lican platform, went through the conven tion with a safe majority about 11 o'clock this evening. Mayor Hume, of Seattle, in alluding to the railroad plank this after noon, termed It a firebrand, which was certain to burn somo one before they get through with It. Whatever the ultimate effect of the measureiinay. be, it certainly created" moreexcltejnentat the conven tion Just closed than a wagonload of fire brands. McBrlde's Chances Improve. The elimination of the Congressional question from the fight at an early hour "Will E. Humphrey, Republican nom inee for Congress from Washing ton. this morning improved Governor Mc Brlde's chances of success quite material ly, .and as the day wore on some of his followers, who had practically given up the fight last night, when combinations were unsettling matters, trailed In again, and the railway commission stock began rising. The fight was not won without a struggle, and there was some very point ed speeches on the floor of the conven tion. Many of the delegates, who came Instructed, changed 'front after their ar rival here, and were ready to vote against the measure, had they been free to dis regard Instructions, but they were kept well in line by the leaders, and the only open expression of displeasure over the manner In which the instructions had been given them was from a member of the Waklakum delegation, who stated that he felt it his duty to explain that he was voting for the commission plank be cause he was elected on a platform sent to Waklakum County by the Governor, al ready typewritten and ready for use, and that they also had been promised a fish hatchery. In case they voted right at the convention; and, he added, "We have to earn the hatchery." There was consider able of this work In various parts of the state, and many of the delegates chafed under the restraint, but the only open re bellion against the Instruction was with the Spokane delegation, 12 of the members from that county voting against the com mission plank. Contest Over Platform. The platform committee had a long, hard struggle after appointment at the morning session," and wheit it came back In the convention, about 5 o'clock, with a majority and minority report of 19 and 17, respectively, it was n6 nearer a et tlement of its differences than it was when It started. The slate that was made up a little after midnight, with Brownell for chairman, was broken be fore morning, and John 1L Powell, of King County, substituted. There was no opposition when hie name was presented at the afternoon session, and as be has been prominently Identified with the Mc M BR Brlde wing of the fight, this was taken ' as an indication that the Governor was in the saddle, and the disinterested out siders decided that the claims of the anti-McBrlde followers were hardly war ranted. However, the failure of elthei side to develop decisive strength In. the committee meeting left the matter In doubt up to the time of roll-call. Committee Slovr In Reporting. As was expected, the committee was not ready to report when the convention reassembled at 2 o'clock, so the platform was passed in the regular order of busi ness and the nomination of Supreme Justice taken up. As scheduled last night, there was no opposition to Judge Hadley, of Whatcom, and he received the nomination unanimously and ac knowledged it by making a nrat speech. Ex-Govcmcr John II. McGraw then placed in nomination the three mem bers of Congress elated for the honor last night, and glowing tributes to the worth of Cushman, Jones and Humphrey were coming thick In the second inning of the nominations when Fairchlld, . ot Whatcom, checked the enthusiasm long enough t6 announce that the convention was departing from the order of business, and nad better defer action on the Con gressional matter until after a platrorm had been provided for the candidates to stand on. The point was regarded as well taken, and the three popular Wasn ingtonlans were obliged to wait for their nominations until late in the evening. Meanwhile, there was nothing of special Interest for the delegates and visitors, who could not participate In the fun that was going on in the committee meeting, and they listened to music and speeches. The defeated candidates for Congress were all heard, and the crowd began call ing for Cushman. Cushman Warmly Received. "Our CuBh" is a popular man over here. and the audience went wild when he ap peared. He kept the people in a good hu mor for over an hour with a speech fairly bubbling over with good humor, and was followed by Representative Jones, who was also enthusiastically received. The new candidate. Will E. Humphrey, was W. Jj. Jones, Republican nominee fer Congress from Washington. not so well known as the two popular idols, but was well received, and In a neat speech thanked the convention for the honors which he seemed to take for granted had been thrust upon him. Music and oratory had begun to be a little tiresome to the waiting delegates when shortly after 5 o'clock the commit tee on platform filed into the hall and handed in their reports, one favoring an appointive Railway Commission, and an other an elective commission. The plat form was read by S. II. Piles, of Seattle, and Chairman Powell followed It with the report of the differing committee, This report favored -the elective commis sion of three members, and as soon as it was read about 20 men were on their feet and the big fight about which so much has been said and written within the past six months was on at full blast. Howard, of Whatcom, was the first man to catch the speaker's eye, and he made a motion to adjourn, but that was howled down so quickly that he substituted with a mo tlon to amend the report by striking out all reference to a - Railway Commission, and, as he explained, "pass the whole Issue up to the Legislature, where it be longs." He contended that the Issue was a personal one, raised by the Governor, and that it would have no place in the convention. Many of the settlers in his Francis W. Cushman, Republican nominee for Congress from Wash ington. county wanted railroads more than they wanted Railroad Commissions. Howard made a strong speech against the meas ure, and was followed by Huson of Pierce, who took the other side of the fight. One or two other speakers had an Inning, and at 6:30 a recess was taken until 7:30. ( The evening session got under way at 8 o'clock, and to expedite mattere an at tempt was made, to cut the time of speeches from 15 to 10 minutes, but it was voted down. Speeches For and Against. Ormsbee, of Walla Walla, thought there was an insufficient number of railroads in the country, and made an earnest talk against a commission of any kind. The opposition was very noisy, and attempted to howl down, until Chairman Powell made -a very sharp protest against such disrespectful treatment. B. W. Coiner, ot Lewis, inserted a new (Concluded oa Pape 11.) BRITISH TOLD TO GO Russia Orders' Officials Out of Manchuria; CHINA EXPECTED TO STEP IN Men Complained Of Are Really In Its Employ Czar's Notice Includes All Foreigners, but United States Not Concerned. PEKIN, Sept. 10. Paul Lessar, the Rus sian Minister here, has advised the Rus sian commander in Manchuria that the presence of foreigners In Manchuria dur ing the military occupation Is objection able, and he Is directed to expel the British imperial customs employes who mdy be rent to Manchuria to resume charge of the postal service. According to advices received here from Manchuria, the Russians are making no visible preparations to withdraw from the military occupation of the southeast por tion of the Province of Shlng King, as W3S stipulated should be done within six months of the signing of the treaty. Rus sian troops and Immigrants are reported to be entering Manchuria in large num bers, but none are leaving the country. UNITED STATES XOT CONCERNED. British Officials Will Probably Re main, Despite Russia's Order. WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. While Mr. Lessar's notice of the intention of the Russian Government to expel foreigners from Manchuria has not been formally brought to the attention of the State De partment, It can be predicted safely that for the present, at least, our Government will look upon this matter as one involv ing Russia, China and England, and aa one In which it Is not directly concerned, So far as Is known here, there are no Americans in that section of" China, and If It should appear later that there are gome American prospectors in that coun try, it is not probable the decree would be enforced In their case, as, while gen eral in terms, the decree really is aimed at the British, and marks a determination on the part ot Russia to retain the actual control of customs in Manchuria in her own hands, while nominally recognizing Chinese sovereignty. The British customs employes referred to are British by nativity, but are actu ally in, the employ of .the Chinese Govern meat, and It may be that Russia will In slst that the question raised by Mr. Lea ear's order concerns only Russia, and China. It Is improbable, however, that the British Government will take this view of the matter, and it is fully expected that the British Minister at Pckln will call on the Chinese Government to retain these British customs officials, despite the Rus sian order. Move for Withdrawal of Troops. TIEN TSIN, Sept. 10. Colonel Baron Kopp, director of Manchurlan railroads; General Bolkoff, acting Governor, and otlj er Russian officers of Manchuria have gone to Pekln in connection with the ne gotiations for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Manchuria and the restora tion of the Shan Hal Kwan Railway. "RED" ARMY IS DEFEATED Geman "Blues" Successfully Repel the Invaders. FRANKFORT - ON - THE - ODER, Ger many, Sept. 10. Emperor William's guests were a rather haggard lot this morning. Prince Albrecht, as the Emperor's representative, entertained all of them at dinner last evening and It was late when the party broke up. At 3 A. M., or a quarter past, they had them selves called, the Emperor having direct ed that the battle begin at 7 o'clock. The field of the maneuvers is situated quite a distance by rail from Frankfort-on-the- Oder and the Princes and Generals had to assemble at the railroad station at 4:30 A. M. to "catch the special train. Even then the Emperor was afield before them, Tons of gunpowder were burned today, Sixty thousand Infantry and 200 pieces of artillery were In action. The cracks near and distant of the many thousands of rifles was broken at Intervals by the tearing, rip-sawf effect of the firing of the machine guns. Emperor William," Major- General CorbIn, Major-General Young, Brigadier-General Wood. Lord Roberts, General French and the other visitors and the numerous staff. In all 110 horsemen, looked on from a hilltop midway be tween a portion of the hostile line. On a rim of the horizontal west were 11 bat terles of artillery under whose Imaginary shells the infantry of the red army ad vanced. The scenic effect of the whole, .specially of the oscmlngly limitless num ber of troops, satisfied the observers. The red army pushed through the blue's center after three hours" brisk work, and the aeronauts sent up a great yellow bal loon which was vlrible for,10 miles around, as a :-Ignal that the umpires had ordered a suspension of the engagement. During a wait of three-quarters of an hour for the return of the -special train. Lord Roberts and Generals Young and Wood talked most of thp time, together. The opposing forces, were freshly arranged on the field after the guests and unofficial visitors accompanying them had returned from Frankfort, the Emperor remaining tirelessly on his horse. The engagement was rfsumed, and at the end of thn day the blue army was adjudged to have won superior positions. The start tomorrow will be half an hour earlier than .today. renulrlnjr the nuests to be up at 3 A. M. There Is some jocular complaining of this "too atrenuous life. Emperor William camped with the cav alry tonight, occupying a wooden pavilion especially constructed for him. The im perial baggage consisted of 200 trunks. AMERICAX-BRITISn RELATIONS. Visiting Generals Pair Off and Talk War to Their Hearts' Content. NEW YORK. Sept. 10. Most cordial relations have been established between the British and American Generals at tending the maneuvers of 90.000 German troops near Frankfort-on-the-Oder, cables the London correspondent of the Tribune Generals Young and French naturally In terest each other as cavalry leaders, and Lord Roberts and General Corbin are good companions, although not well matched in stature. General Hamilton, being an outspoken and racy talker, also plezses the Americans. Generals Wood and Kelly Kenny are practical men of fine ability as organizers. The British Generals, being a Field Marshal and Lieutenant - Generals, outrank the two American Major-Gencrals and Brigadier-General Wood, and have precedence in presentations and court functions. General Corbin and the other Americans are particularly Impressed with the ability of Count von Waldersec. The maneuvers probably will confirm the Impressions Generals Corbin and Young formed at the preliminary parades, namely that the su periority of the German cavalry la due to the systematic arrangements for breeding horses for military purposes, and that the German regimental method of artillery organization Is workmanlike, and tends to concentrate the fire of guns with over whelming effect. The American Generals, after giving a dinner to the German and British officers at the close of the maneuvers, will visit Vienna. Paris and London and have a short run through Scotland. TO CONFER WITH STONE. President Mitchell and Governor Will DIscum the Strike. WILKESBARRE. Pa., Sept. 10.

Markle & Co., the largest individual coal operators In the anthra cite coal field, said today In regard to the proposal, to arbitrate the differences be tween the anthracite miners and the ope rators: "There will be no arbitration and no settlement 'of the coal strike In any way."

Richardson, keeper of the State Arsenal, who was sent by Governor Stone today to Wllkesbarre with a mes sage for President Mitchell, returned late tonight.

QUICK WIT ARRESTS INJURY Thousands See Him Fall orr Eve of Success, CHEERED BY VAST CROWD Speed Wan Not Sufficient to Carry Him Through Loop Lavsen Ready for Tonight Again. TODAY'S CARNIVAL EVENTS. 2:30-4:30 P. M. Reception to women In Music Square. 2:30-4:30 Concert In Temple of Music. 8:30 Wedding In the lion's cago on the' Midway. 10:30 Loop the loop. Seventeen thousand people saw H. C. Feltham ride the loop last night and fall when almost through. Special precau tions had been taken to control the terrific press of spectators-, and the space around tho huge loop was clear. Promptly at 10:25 an attendant took the heavy wheel up the long incline, and Immediately aft erward Feltham raised himself up on the rldeway. There he stood silent and im mobile while the showman pleaded with the restless throng to keep quiet and or derly. As the voice ceased, the young rider started up the Incline, bordered on either side with electric lights. Within half a minute he was on the platform far above tho surging mass of humanity be low, and the silence grew Intense. Hl3 starter steadied the wheel as he mounted, and- over all the vast assembly there breathed a moan of pain. To those wait ing with repressed emotion it seemed that the rider, so young and so plucky, was looking Into the eyes of death. Starts on Daring Ride. On the dot of the appointed time the wheel started slowly out, and Feltham braced himself. Gathering speed, he shot down towards the loop, rising stiff and colossal into the shivering, fitful light from the arc lamps swung around It. There was a rush and a roar. He had struck the loop. In the twinkling of an eye, the rider seemed fixed, head down ward, In the lofty upper curve of tho loop; then, with a shudder, the cr.owd swung against the restraining ropes. The few seconds were hours, until, with a rush, rider and wheel dropped 20) feet upon the platform below. Those with quicker eyes had seen Feltham throw himself from the deadly weight of the wheel and try to guard himself. He was partially successful, and before the onlookers could stay their sobbing notes of agony, the gallant rider was bowing to them from the rldeway. Then, wild with emotion, the pulsing throng threw Itself Into a ringing cheer. A brave attempt had bare ly failed of success, and the fateful loop had been despoiled of yet another victim. Surrounded by tumultuous friends, Felt ham was borne to a carriage and quickly driven from the gaunt shadow of what had so nearly claimed his life. Unhurt and cooler than any one else, he turned to the scene of his recent trial and said quietly: "Tomorrow night I'll loop the loop." Those who had watched In throbbing suspense went their way quietly out of the scene of mocking revelry, thankful that they had not seen the full face of death. Not Enough Speed to Make the Loop. Much congratulation was showered on Feltham last night after his ride. Among the first to Inquire and to tender his com pliments was Lareen. who so nearly met death Saturday night. Feltham, himself had little to say. When asked why ho fell, he answered: "Well, all there was to it was that I didn't have enough momen tum to take the loop. When I got up the side I could see that I was not going fast enough, and the front wheel of the ma chine just rose off the loop and I dropped down. The only place I was hurt was on the wrist; you can see where it 13 skinned. I will try it again tomorrow, and I think I can get enough speed to make the ride all right without falling. If I had had a little more speed tonight I would have made It all right, I think." Drs. Parker and Johnson were in readi ness to take care of the rider in case of accident, and every precaution that could suggest Itself to Mr. Jabour was observed. GREAT CROWD VIEWS THE RIDE. Thousands Swayed by the Daring Attempt of Feltham. Early In the evening the crowd com menced to throng through the gates. "Loop the loop! Loop the loop!" the call ers were shouting. "Hurry, hurry." But they might as well have eaved their voices for a time, for the people were crowding and pushing through the gates as if their very existence depended upon how soon they could force their way into the Mid way. The other attractions were an nounced, but proved of little interest. Many turned their attention to the cycle dazzle, for they were told that the man who would ride the 'loop was also a cycle dazzle rider. "It takes nerve all right to ride the dazzle," they said, "but I doubt if hxe will make the loop." Long before the crowning event of 'the evening was announced a large number of eager sightseers were thronged about Concluded on Page 10.)
