CHICAGO. June 21. (Staff correspondence-)
The most Impressive thing about
this convention Is the conflict between
the Hanna regime passing: and the Roose
velt regime regnant. The business of the
convention Is in the hands of the new,
but the all-pervasive spirit of the assem
bly is the memory of Hanna.
Behind the chairman's desk hangs the
most conspicuous object in the hall a
portrait of Hanna In oil, which must be
some 15x25 feet in size. The prominence
given Mr. Hanna, overshadowing both
the living President and accepted candi
date and the dead President and nominee
of the last convention, may. set at 'rest
once for all the protests against esti
mates of Hanna as the master and Mc
Xinlcy as the subordinate.
Even in Chairman Root's speech Hanna
took evident precedence in his mind, and
in the greeting accorded by the delegates.
It is startling to reflect that this man,
who is now supreme in the affections of
the party organization, only rose tp
power two campaigns ago, while veterans
of public life, like Allison, Cullom and
Piatt, are expected to be pleased with
toleration in their present places.
Equally sudden is the rise of Roosevelt
to power, and equally extensive his sway.
Whether as short-lived, it would be reck
less to. prophesy.
Speech jof Root the .One Feature.
The one feature of the proceedings- was
the "notable speech of ex-Secretary Root
He is both an orator and a speaker.
Barring a certain suspicion of cant in his
fondness for such phrases as "high
ideals," and obvious reflections of the
Rooseveltian philosophy, his matter is
pregnant and cogent. His presence Is
that of the cultivated gentleman, his de
livery is polished, and his voice has a
certain vibrant and plaintive quality of
appeal which is indispensable to the high
est eloquence.
It was a better address than was heard
In Phlladelpliia in 1300. Depew happily
characterized it as one of the few really
good speeches wo are permitted to hear
In a lifetime, and Senator Cullom said, in
my presence, that it was the best speech
of the kind he had ever heard.
Throb of Sympathy for Philippines.
A peculiar throb of sympathy seemed
to swep over the convention at Chair
man Root's referonce to the Philippines.
His services to them, and his manifest
desire that the six Philippine delegates
be given seats evoked enthusiasm. All
around that handful of applicants from
far-off Asia sat black men from tho
South, and elsewhere wore brown natives
of Porto Rico and swarthy sons of Ha
waii. It seemed llttlng that the party
that freed tho slave should be moved
hero 40 years afterward to sympathetic
and enthusiastic welcome for brown men
until latoly oppressed by the hand of
Spain.
Tho cheers that went up from hundreds
of throats may fittingly give the He to
those who charge tho Republic with seek
ing to despoil those whom it seeks to
lave.
Fairbanks' Nomination Inevitable.
Tho nomination of Fairbanks seems in
evitable, and it is unfortunate In many
ways and for many reasons. Such is his
power In Indiana that his delegation feels
constrained to insist upon his nomination,
though he exacts of its members the pub
lic protest that ho does not want it.
They are compellod to work tooth and
toe-nail for him, soliciting all other as
pirants to forego even the poor privi
lege of a complimentary nominating
speech and vote, yet all the while main
tain the fiction that the place Is being
forced upon him against his will. The
humiliation Is naturally resented.
Another sore spot is the expectation
that if Indiana gets the Vice-President,
she will be expected to handle her own
campaign without financial help from the
National Committee. There is little, if
any, enthusiasm for Fairbanks. The
time is not favorable to the circumspect,
but to the outspoken like Roosevelt and
Cannon, Fairbanks is known in Indiana
as "Gumshoe Charley" a faithful, if ir
reverent, characterisation of his non
committal diplomacy.
The judgment is that Fairbanks has
not helped his chances for 1S0S by his
course in this matter, and he will likely
meet no better fate than others whose
excessive caution has gained them a cer
tain eminence, but failed to win the gon
Jral heart.
Opposition Unable to Unite.
Unfortunately there are ,too many other
favorites for the opposition to Fairbanks
to consolidate. Yesterday afternoon
Chairman Ayer, of the Oregon delegation,
mentioned Taft as a possibility to Payne,
of Wisconsin, who thought It a good sug
gestion, and considerable Taft talk was
soon floating about the hotels. But any
deviation from Fairbanks only encour
ages the Hltt, Cannon. Walbridge and
Webster people to redouble their efforts.
Every such stimulus to confusion only
drives sentiment back to Fairbanks as
the Inevitable.
Quiet Day for Oregon Delegation.
It was a quiet day for the Oregon dele
gation. The seat difficulty has been
smoothed over to the satisfaction of ev
erybody. Chairman Ayer has distributed
the extra allowances with tact and gen
erosity, and Dr. Keerie himself has more
than atoned for his Innocent faux pas.
Among those accommodated with conven
tion seats are Messrs. Cornell and Fen
ton, A. D. Griffin, the colored editor; H.
K. Finch, George Lawrence Jr., Otto
Breyman, "W. T. Everson, airs. Br. H. "W.

DEFENDS MANUFACTURERS.
Secretary of Treasury and Bede Ad
dress Mass Meeting.
CHICAGO, June 21. Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw and Representative J.
Adam Bede, of Minnesota, tonight ad
dressed an Immense mass meeting in the
Auditorium. Frank O. Lowden presided.
Both Mr. Bede and Secretary Shaw were
accorded an ovation.
Secretary Shaw defended the practice
of American manufacturers who sell
abroad cheaper than at home. Some of
the articles thus sold are protected In
this country by paterits and are not so
protected in the foreign countries.
Further, the manufacturer Is allowed a
rebate on Imported raw material when he
exports the finished article and this per
mits a reduction of price. Nearly every
class of goods Imported into this country,
said Secretary Shaw, is obtainable below
the regular foreign market, showing that
foreign manufacturers do the same thing
that is complained of by critics of the
American tariff.
HITT EXPECTED TO WITHDRAW
If He Does, Nomination of Fairbanks
Will Be Unanimous.
CHICAGO, June 2L The Indiana dele
gation made a tour of the different state
delegations tonight, and created consid
erable interest, although no direct at
tempt was made to boom the nomination
of Senator Fairbanks for "Vice-President.
Thero Is a practically unanimous belief
that the Indiana Senator is chosen, al
though there were no developments in
the situation today. There has been some
communication with Representative Hitt
and ho has been Informed of the situa
tion. It Is expected he will authorize the
withdrawal of his name, in which case
tho other names will be withdrawn, and
the nomination of Senator Fairbanks be
made unanimous. As the Illinois delega
tion has decided to support Mr. Hitt, and
he has signified his willingness to be a
candidate, the delegation will not. with
draw" him without his authority.
CANNON IS ONLY MAN NAMED.
Committee on Organization Soon Se
lects Permanent Chairman.
CHICAGO, June 21. The committee on
permanent organization immediately fol
lowing adjournment elected .W-.M. John
son, of Now -Jersey,, chairman, and Gov
ernor G. H. Carter, of Hawaii, secretary?
No other name Jthaja that tZt Joseph-.G.

convention was presented, and he was
elected unanimously, as were an the tcm- I
porary officials, with the exception of the
temporary chairman. The honorary vice
presidents nominated by the several dele
gates were recommended as vice-presidents
of the convention, following which
the committee adjourned.

CHICAGO, June 21. Without -a dis
turbing element to impede smooth op
eration the first day's programme of
the Republican National Convention
was carried out like clockwork. Not
a Jarring sound was heard, not a 'false
step taken. It was an assembly of non
combatant delegates which carried
into effect, without the thunderous
demonstration usually attendant upon
political conventions, a purpose that
had been clearly defined.
An organization was -perfected pre
paratory to the adoption of a plat
form, and the making of nominations
in the succeeding days of the conven
tion. The quiet, unmistakable enthusi
asm provoked by Senator Fairbanks
arrival at the Coliseum and his nomin
ation for "Vice-President is but little
less assured that the nomination of
Theodore Roosevelt for President.
The keynote of the convention" was
sounded by Elihu Root in his speech
as temporary chairman. His address
was a review of the accomplishments
of the present Administration and a
defense of Republican policies In gen

eral. When that had been delivered ,
and the various working committees
dispatched to their labors, the busi
ness of the day's session was com
pleted. -
Delegates Fail to Warm Up.
Another picture was presented by the
opening day so different from the cus
tomary convention scene as to attract
marked attention. It was tho failure
of the delegates and the spectators to
warm to the spirit of the occasion.
Mention of President Roosevelt was re
sponded to- "with hearty, though . not
prolonged applause. The lack of con
test eliminated the necessity for en
thusiasm and the mild cheering and
rather listless handclapping the greet
ing given impartially to National flg-
.ures-of the party was all, probably.
that could be expected under the cir
cumstances. The lack of public inter
est In the convention 'was evidenced
by the large 'number of spectators'
seats vacant. Seats at former Repub
lican conventions have. usually brought
a premium. Today speculators offered
them, but there were few takers, and
as the hour approached for the con
vention to a'ssemblc they sold them for
a song. The wilderness of Vacant seats
was in the gallery and on the mezza
nine floor, where not more than two
thirds of the chairs were occupied. The
first floor was filled. The picture was
one of good order, where sergeants-at-arms
and policemen were not needed.
Decorations Are Beautiful.
From a decorative point of view, tho
.Coliseum .was a success. The architec
ture of the Imposing structure is pe
culiarly adapted to the interior dress
given it. Flags and bunting were used
profusely, but in good taste. Foliage
and palms softened the 'general color
scheme, and formed a setting for 60
large engravings of President Roose
velt, used In festooning the National
colors above the galleries and .rang
ing entirely around the hall.
The crowning feature of the decora
tions is a painting of the late Senator
Hanna, which hangs directly over tho
Coliseum. Something of the magnl
tude of this painting may be realized
when It is said that its surface Is as
great in square feet as the combined
surface of the 60 large pictures of the
President.
President Roosevelt, however, was
prominently shown to the delegates In
a heroic painting spectacularly un
veiled- on the chairman's platform at
the conclusion of Mr. Root's speech.
a climax that brought a prolonged
outburst of enthusiasm.

One Woman Delegate.
CHICAGO, June 21. The Fairbanks
boom for Vice-President flourished un
restrictedly during .the proceedings of
the Republican National Convention
today. Its Impetus was gained when
the Indiana . delegation entered the
Coliseum and, led by the two Senators,
Mr. Fairbanks and Mr. Beveridge, pro
ceeded down the aisle to their 'seats
near the stage. The ovation given Sen
ator Fairbanks was greater than was
received by any of his distinguished
colleagues.
Today's proceedings afforded no op
portunity for the advancement of other
candidacies. No mention was made of
the names of favorite sons, whose am
bltions are not taken seriously beyond
the boundaries of their own states. The
applause for Senator Fairbanks ap
peared to be general.
The placidity of political opponents
as they sat in the hall welded Into
substantial party citizenship, unani
mously agreeing on principles and dif
fering only on 'nonessentials, was ono
of the features of the convention.. The
New York delegation, which occupied
FATHERS
a position of honor directly in front
of the platform, furnished a good ex
ample of the prevailing harmony.
On the opposite side of he center-
aisle, in equal command of the plat
form, was the Illinois delegation, which
had a bitter fight in its ranks as late
as- yesterday. Today, if any soreness
remained, to all outward appearances
it has been healed.
State Pride Figures Strongly.
State pride figured strongly In tho
convention. Each state had its friends
in the galleries, who showered .plaud
its upon their, delegation as they en
tered the Coliseum. The first "big
man" to arrive was Senator Allison.
The Iowa contingent cheered its wel
come, and this was taken up by sur
rounding visitors who recognized the
Hawkcye statesman,
down tho center aisle cloself atferr
down the center aisle closely after Sen
ator Allison had taken his seat, and
the men in the gallery from Iowa broke
out Into applause a second time. Sen
ator Allison acknowledged the recep
tion with a smile and bow, but the Jun
ior Senator apparently did not realize
that he was being honored, for he
turned his back upon his friends In
the gallery while they were still ap
plaudlng him, and walked slowly back
to the seats in the crowd.
Throughout the time that elapsed be
tween the opening of the doors and
that set for the formal opening of the
convention, an orchestra in a band
stand raised high above the gallery at
the south end of the hall rendered a
succession of patriotic music, alter
nated with popular airs of the day.
Chauncey M. Depew was tho reclpi
ent of a hearty welcome as he came
through the main entrance on the west
side of the building. The Senator
walked down toward the platform en
tirely oblivious of a doorkeeper, who
did not know him, and was entering
to learn if he were properly entitled to
the privileges of the hall. Half-way
up to the seats of the New York dele
gatlon, just in the left center of the
left platform, the Senator was over
taken and mado to deliver.
Close behind the New Tork Senator
came the senior Senator of Illinois,
Shelby M. Cullom. The men from 1111
nols who were In the balcony did not
see their Senator, and he was given
only a slight handclapping from those
on the main floor who knew, him. Sen
ator Collom sought the seats of the
Illinois delegation without greeting.
Cannon Warmly Greeted.
Following closely upon Senators
Cullom and Depew came "Uncle Joe'
Cannon, a black felt hat jammed down
on his head. He was walking back
and forth In the crowd in front of the
platform without attracting attention
save for a few handshakes from "Wash
ington friends. "When he removed his
hat, . the recognition by the galleries
was instantaneous, and the Speaker
was warmly greeted by the balconies
and ' delegates.
General Groavenor, exSecretary Elihu
Root, Senator Penrose, Senator Scott and
other early arrivals also received their
share of applause.
The floor filled with delegates so rapidly
that many prominent figures slipped in
unnoticed. Among these was Senator
Lodge, who is accredited with having
a 'more intimate knowledge of what the
convention is doing than any other man.
Before the gathering was called to order
by Postmaster-General Payne, chairman
of the Republican National Committee,
Senator Lodge moved about among the
delegations and his ear was sought con
tinually by embryonic platform makers,
The Massachusetts Senator never stop
ped long enough, however, to grow inti
mate.
The first speech of the" convention was
by Senator Scott, who Informally pre
sented to Chairman Payne a beautiful
gavel. It was the gift of the Chicago
citizens' committee, which co-operated
with the National subcommittee in mak
ing arrangements for the convention.
Later Graeme Stewart, member of the
National Committee, from Illinois, on. be
half of the Chicago committee, presented
a similar gavel to Temporary Chairman
Root.
First to Present Name of Roosevelt
It was left to Governor Van Sant, of
Minnesota, first to place the President's
name before the convention. He found
the occasion in presenting to the conven
tion a table which had been built by the
manual training school connected with
the South Minneapolis High School. Tho
applause was general, but not long con
tinued, and in that set a precedent which
was followed In succeeding demonstra
tions.
Today's programme of the convention
was not of a nature to effect more than
ordinary interest. The matter of great
est importance was the presenting to the
convention of the proposition to admit
the delegation from the Philippine Islands
and Porto Rico. Mr. Root asked for a
ruling on the question of calling the
names of the new possessions in the roll,
for the naming of members of the various
committees. The convention ordered the
seating and recognition of six delegates
from the Philippines with two votes, and
two delegates from Porto Rico.
One Woman Delegate.
In the Convention Hall today there was
one woman delegate who had the same
right to vote that was held by each ac
credited male delegate. She was Mrs,
Charles A. Eldredge, of Colorado Springs,
Colo., an alternate delegate, whose prin
cipal was absent. Other women alter
nates present were Mrs. Owen E.
Lefevre, of Colorado; Mrs. Susan "West,
of Idaho, and Mrs. Jennie E. Nelson, of
Utah, these states having woman suf
frage. Shortly before the adjournment for the
day. Senator Depew was recognized to
deliver to the convention an Invitation
from President Francis and the directors
of the Louisiana Exposition to delegates
and members of the press to visit the
Fair at St. Louis before returning to their
homes: Senator Depew started to read
the invitation from his seat, but at the
demand of delegates and spectators he
mounted the platform. There he passed
the Invitation over ta the clerk to read.
"When It was concluded Chairman Root
suggested that the Senator might want to
make a few remarks. The suggestion
was accepted and in recommending that
the invitation be accepted. Senator Depew
said the Democrats are claiming the
credit of gaining an empire peaceably on
the ground that the party through Jef
ferson had bought the land. The Re
publicans, he said, had tilled It and were
going to share the harvest. The speech
was received with favor and the Invita
tion accepted.

He Could See Enough of Military

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., June 21. Tho
News today received from. Hector Ful
ler, Its special war correspondent, who
effected an entrance Into Port Arthur,
where he was imprisoned five days and
then ordered from the fortress, a special
cable dated at Chefoo today, in which ho
gives his experiences and observations
while In the besieged city, as follows:
"After being rowed across from tha
Maulto Islands In an open boat by two
Chinamen, I succeeded In landing at
Louisa Bay, near Port Arthur, and sepa
rated by a range of hills. The bay wa3
occupied by a Russian flotilla of four
torpedo-boats, two destroyers and two
cruisers.. I landed at daybreak on tha
morning of June 10 without detection.
"With the full coming of the day I
could see that every hilltop near tha
shore was alive with soldiers, busily en
gaged in strengthening the already for-x
midable fortifications, which occupied
every point of vantage. It looked at first
as though It would be impossible to pass
through the lines and make my way over
the hills to Port Arthur. But by keeping
down In the narrow valleys which were
free from soldiers, I gradually made by
way Into the Interior of the peninsula. In
this way, after a day and night of per
sistent and cautious effort, I at last sue
ceeded In reaching Port Arthur.
Good Fortune Soon Deserts Him.
"After some hasty observations there,
the hazard of my posltlon'became" so. ob
vious that the same day Saturday, June
11 I set out on my return to the bay. But
the good fortune which attended, me the
day before soon deserted me. I presently
came In sight of a large body of Russian
Infantry, when I took refuge In a- Chinese
village, where I found a hiding-place
until danger was over.
"I had not proceeded far from this vil
lage when I came upon a small party of
sappers. In order to avoid them I made
a dash up a hill, only to run Into another
regiment engaged In digging entrench
ments. Instantly I was surrounded. There
was no possibility of escape.
"The officer in command detailed a,
guard to take me to Pigeon Bay. Thera
I was searched. I was stripped to tha
skin, and all my garments were sub
jected to the closest scrutiny. My money
was taken and all the papers in my pos-
session ' were most minutely examined.
Thereupon I was blindfolded and marched
to Port Arthur.
"The route taken wa3 over the military,
road which recently has been constructed.
In spite of the bandage over my eyes, I
was able to note that the road Is one of
the most admirable construction, along
which artillery could move easily and
rapidly.
Port Arthur Full of Life.
"Port Arthur was full of life and gaiety,
quite out of comparison with stories of
distress that had reached Chefoo through
Japanese sources. Indeed, nothing of thi3
sort was observed. There seemed to be
an abundance of supplies, and fresh sup
plies were coming In from Chlnesa
sources.
"The Japanese blockade has not been
effective. The harbor entrance has been
freed of obstructions, the battleships have
been repainted, and the fortifications ara
constantly being made stronger.. The gar
rison is larger than outside information
had led me to suppose. The troops are In
excellent condition, and the general
health conditions of tho city are good.
There seemed to be no apprehension that
the city was likely soon to fall.
"The night I was marched Into Port Ar
thur under guard, the city was unusually
lively, as the officers were giving a ball.
Three officers were detailed to examlna
me, and they made thorough work of It.
After the examination was completed, I
was lodged In prison. The prison Is di
rectly opposite Golden Hill. From tha
window of my cell I had a good view of
the inner bay, and could see distinctly
the repaired battleships lying at anchor.
"In the same prison were confined 100
Japanese who had been captured from
the blockading expedition. Several of
these had become insane.
On Bread and Water for Two Days.
"I myself was kept on Russian black
bread and water for two days. Then I
was permitted by the authorities to pur
chase such food a3 I desired.
"While I was In the prison I was sub
jected to seven different examinations.
The thing that evidently aroused the
greatest suspicion was the passport that
had been Issued to me at Tokio. It is
pretty evident that the Russian officers
more than half suspected I was a Japa
nese spy.
"I demanded tho opportunity of seeing
General Stoessel, the commandant at Port
Arthur, that I might lay my case directly
before him. At last, after five days in
prison, my plea was allowed, and I was
taken before the commander. I made a
straightforward story of my purpose in
seeking to penetrate the Russian lines and
gave a" detailed account of my trip. At
last he was convinced of my good faith.
He said: "You Americans must ba
crazy."
"As the result of this hearing of my
case. General Stoessel decided I was to bo
allowed to leave Port Arthur on condition
