CHICAGO. June 2?.-The national
convention of the Prohibition party met
today In the First Regiment armory.
Of the 1034 delegates entitled to seats,
more than three-fourths were in at
tendance when Chairman Oliver W.
Stewart, of the naUonal executive
committee, called f-he convention to or
der. It Is expected by tomorrow, when
the nominations for president and vice
president will be made, nearly a thou
sand delegates will be present Near
ly all of the Eastern and Central
"Western states had full delegations,
the absentees being mainly from South
ern and Pacifl; coast states.
The- galleries were filled with spec
tator. Juat previous to the fall of the
gavel, the delegates from the New Eng
land states marched Into the ball In
a body, carrying a canteen with the
letters "U. S." Inverted and bearing
the legend "Anti-Canteen." They were
liberally applauded.
After the convention had come to
order. Chairman Stewart delivered his
formal address. He said the Prohi
bition party waa wide awake and
should poll a million votes this year.
"It is not an easy thing," he said,
"to prepare a platform upon which a
great reform organization is to go be
fore the country, but our duty is so
clear and so plain that this convention
could not get far astray. We are
. agreed that the saloon ought to die, and
upon that declaration we are ready to
face the world."
The National - Prohibition party
will make Its national campaign
this year upon a platform of a single
issue, the liquor traffic, all other is
sues being subordinated to this ques
tion. Upon this platform it Is proba
ble that either Rev. S. C. Swallow, the
"Fighting Parson" of Harrisburg. Pa.,
or John G. Wooley of Chicago, editor of
the New Voice, the Prohibition nation
al organ, will be nominated for presi
dent. The national convention of the Pro
hibition party met here today and In
three sessions this morning, afternoon
and evening, cleared up all the busi
ness except the nominations for presi
dent and vice-president, which will be
made tomorrow morning. This conven
tion in point of numbers and enthus
iasm shown Is considered one of the
greatest ever held by the advocates of
cold water.
Thirty-seven states were represented
when Chairman Stewart of the nation
al committee called the convention to
order at the First Regiment armory
today, nearly "00 delegates being pres
ent, while scores of others are expected

platform waa finally agreed upon,
members being lharply divided over the (
question of a single party, or a
"broad" platform. Advocates of wo
man suffrage were particularly em
phatic in demanding a suffrage plank,
but after a session lasting several
hours the matter was compromised by
reporting a separate resolution favor
ing the granting of the franchise to
women, and In this form the report of
the committee on resolutions was
adopted by the convention.
LOCKOUT ENDED.
Fifteen Thonsand Men Will Return to
Work in Chicago.
CHICAGO, June 27. The backbone of
the great building trades strike In this
city Is broken. It is now only a ques
tion of hours when the 50,000 workmen
who have been Idle for many months
will be arranging agreements for their
return to work.
The initial move for ending the lock-
out waa taken at 2:15 o'clock this morn
ing by the Bricklayers' and Stone
Masons' Union, the strongest labor or
ganization in the building trades, which
voted, after an all night meeting, to
withdraw from the building trades'
council. The council will be notified
thla morning of the withdrawal of the
bricklayers. This afternoon the arbi
tration committee of the bricklayers
will meet the arbitration committee of
the Chicago Masons' and Builders' As
sociation and sign a working agree
ment to extend to April 1902, and the
bricklayers will immediately be given
work.
The action of the Bricklayers Un
ion waa the result of the report of the
conference committee. In which a rec
ommendation' was made that the un
ion sever Its connection with the cen
tral body because that organization
had been unable to bring about a set
tlement of the labor troubles.
As the Brldga and Structural Iron
Workers, Gas Fitters, Plumbers, Plas
ters and Hod Carriers' Unions have
been on the verge of quitting the
Trades Council for over a week, they
will not. In all probability, follow the
course of the Bricklayers' Union.
The Bricklayers' Union has a mem
bership of over 3,000.

NEW TORK. June 27. A dispatch to
the Tribune from London, dated June
27, says:
The optimists, who have been In tn
background for a week, have turned
out In force at the house of commons
and the political clubs, and are talking
cheerfully about China. ' -
So marked was the reaction from de
pression last night that men of Influ
ence did not hesitate to say that they
believed that the public bad been de
ceived by sensational newsmongers
and Chinese liars, and that as soon as
communications were reopened it
would be known that the foreigners
had not been murdered at Tien Tsln;
that Admiral Seymour1 force had been
blocked, but not cut to pieces, and that
the legations had not been attacked.
One view which found considerable
support was that the empress, by
avoiding an open conflict with the
Boxers and Instructing the generals to
make common cause with them, had
regained control of the situation, and
that the legations had escaped attack
in this way, and that the ministers had
been escorted out of Pekln, and that
Seymour's force had been shut out of
the capital, but had not been In serious
danger. There was little evidence In
support of this theory, yet many mn
of gocd judgment .were disposed to
credit it, and to assume that, the era
press, after making use of the regular
army in dispersing the Boxers, after
sympathizing with them would not
oppose the entry of the foreign forces,
but would appeal for Russian support
and depend upon a speedy break-up of
the concert through jealousies and In
trigues.
Owing to the sluggishness of the ad
mlralty in giving out dispatches, the
American press Is able to get official
news from China In advance of the
English public, since nothing is held
back by the navy department In Wash
ington.
Press dispatches available at mid
nigh,t were meager, but it was fairly
clear that the allied forces had been
greatly strenjlhen3d by French, Ger
man, Japanese and Russian troops;
that the march to Tien Tsln bad not
been attended with serious loss, and
that the plight of the foreigners there
had not been so serious is had been
supposed. It Is not known with defl-
nltenss here whether Admiral Sey
mour's force marched Into Pekln and
carried the ministers and refugees out
with them, or whether they were sent
out under the escort of their own
guards, ' but the opinion prevailed at
midnight among well-informed mem
bers of parliament that catastrophe
had been averted and that the military

GERMAN SCHOOLS LEAD.
American Consul Praise Germany'
System ot Itidustrlal Education.
ALBANY, N. Y June ST.-Addres-lug
the university eot.vccatlon, J. C.
Monoghan, ex-l'nlted State consul at
Chemnlti, said of Industrial education
In Germany.
"It may be best to plunge right Into
the midst of the German Industrial
system by saying It is excellent In Us
results. It la composed of Industrial,
art, commercial, high and technical
schools. B ecause we have built up the
richest nation on earth without such a
system, eonn are saying the talk of
great need for tecnnlcal education is
nonsense. The question la not so much
what we are aa, with such schools, what
we might have been. We have no
hesitation In saying, lacking these
schools Germany, Instead of occupying
her present proud position at the head
of continental tat?s, would be strug
gling to maintain the Integrity ot the
empire.
''Germans are practically the only
people on earth who have first-class
training schools. They were wise
enough to put the practical machinists
side by side with the practical tanner.
The reactions not jndrstood by the
one were understd by the other.
The result is that Germany leads the
world In many. If not all, leathers. It
will interest American leaders to learn,
however, that the tanning school at
Freiburg, Saxony, Is fitted with ma
chines invented' In this country, while
the head director was for fifteen year
foreman In a famous Milwaukee tan
nery. German send their boys out to
learn languages and to study foreign
markets, and German are better
known In the modern world than the
Romans were In the ancient world.
'rmany ha bad the schoolmaster
abroad at every step In her progress.
The schoolmaster was at Ludwlghafen
when Dr. Lear and .-lis chemists look
the refuse matter f the world's gas
houses and converted It Into a hundred
dlff-T'nt colors for the dyes of this and
other countries. Dr. Caro told me 12
y-'ars ago that the dream of German
chemists at that time waa grander
than that of any ancient alchemist or
philosopher, being above book or
alembic, for theirs was a hopeless task.
Dr. Caro and his 'chemists made ni
effort to turn the baser metals to gold,
but to find an artificial substitute for
Indigo. Twelve month ago they suc
ceeded; and so successful were their
efforts that the United States apprais
ers put their product as high In the
duty schedules as th-) natural product
of India or Ceylon."
Mr. Monoghan spoke of the techni
cal schools, their places In helping for
ward the empire, and commercial edu
cation. In 1S70 Germany had 64 per
cent of Its people on farms. ToJay
it has only 33 per cent, and In this
connection he said H was hardly nec
essary to add that the empire's con
tinued success Is due to the marvelous
methods of education. Then the speak
er said:
"The German schoolmaster has done
his work well. The broken fragments
of an empire, once discordant states,
were welded by his power Into the
most compact forces since Napoleon
sank Into his Island grave. He has
changed the empire from a slow-moving,
hard-working, almost poverty
stricken agricultural state to an Indus
trial and commercial one, rich In ma
terial wealth beyond all that her best
and most ambitious statesmen believ
ed possible."

NEW YORK. June 27.-Oovernor
Roosevelt will leave New York for Ok

on July 17. He will abide by the de
cision of the national committee In
that matter. But later in the campaign
Roosevelt wjll make an extended tour

real politics and arouse the enthusiasm
of the voters! National Commltteman
Horry C. Tayne, who has Just re turned

WOMEN STCDfiNTS NOT WANTED.
Remarkable Action Against Co-Education
Dy Weleyan ViilVerulty,
MtDDLETOWN'. Conn.. June J7.-The
trustee of Wealeyan University have
adopted regulations by which women
student are limited to number never
exoeedlnjt V) per cent of the whole num
ber of students; barred from ll privi
lege that may Interfere In any way
with their educational Interest and de
velopments! barred from receiving de
grees at commencement with male stu
dents; barred from holding class xer-ils.-a
in conjunction with male student;
limited to a separate plitce In the cat
alogue. The advocate of the co-educatlonal
system were all older memtwr Of the
alumni, the younger member protest
ing against the Increase of female stu
dents. When opinion were demanded from
th alumni, three per cent answered In
favor ot abolishing or minimising the
presence cf women at the university.
The association waa then asked to pro
duce some plan or a aerie of regula
tion. Thla waa handed In and voted
on last night.
The chief contention of the opponent
was that co-eduratlon was weakening
the resource of the university. It was
shown that prospective students In
preparatory schools refused, a a ma
jority, to enter a college where women
were accepted In common with men.
This argument wa the strongest pro
duced and had the moat effect. It was
pointed out that a large number of men
went to other universities and colleges
who would have entered Wealeyan Unl.
verslty but f r the disdain pf co-education.
As the matter now stands, co-education
at Wealeyan University Is reduced
to a much lower level than at either
Columbia or Harvard University, where
Barnard and Radiilffe are Institutions
of university foundation.
The regulation put Into force by last
night's meeting will permit about 10
young womin to enter next fall.

CHICAGO, June 27.-The Record

It has developed that the prohibi

of this movement do not expect the
