RACE FOR WOMEN.
Spokane Fair Offers $500 for Ladles'
Relay at Coming Fair.
A purse of $G00 Is offered this year
by tho management of the Spokano
Interstate Fair Association for a la

esting event aro open to all. It is the
Intent of tho fair management to have
different portions of tho Inland Lm
plro represented nnd to this end, en
tries from many Eastern Washington
counties aro desired.
The Ladles' relay raco will be one
of tho novel features on the Program
for tho Interstate fair this fall, Octo
ber 3d to 0th. M
The relay raco may be a now idea
to some and not familiar to the gen
eral public. Tho plan Is to have this
raco last over a period of five days,
four miles bolng covered each day by
tho contestants, who change horses
at tho end of each ratio, the winner
being tho rider making the best time

destroyed by flro yesterday fl ojonlng.
Loss, about $30,000. The fire s start
ed In Zumwolfs etoro and Is thought
to havo boon of Incendiary origin.
Chicago, Juno 21. If ever there
was a doubt about the nomination of
Fairbanks for vice-president, late de
velopments have set It at rest. When
Pennsylvania and New York fell Into
line other boomlets did not have a
leg to stand on. I
Cannon's forceful and picturesque
expression on the subject of his can
didacy settled tho matter, so far as
tho New York scheme to nominate
him Is concerned. i
Iloosevelt has kept his hands out of
tho fight, but Cornelius Bliss, who
represents the president, waB con
sulted and acquiesced In the pro
gram. ,
There will bo no fight In tho con-1
vcntlon, although there may bo com-'
pllmeniary votes for a number of
others, whose enthusiastic friends re
fuse to permit the withdrawal of
their names. ,
Acquiesce In Cortelyou. .
The rebellious talk against the se
lection of Cortelyou for the national
chairmanship, has almost entirely
subsided, nor is there longer talk of
a compromise looking either to Cor
telyou's selection and subsequent res
ignation to accept the postmaster
generalship, or looking to the selec
tion of Cortelyou as chairman of the
executive committee, and the choice
of someone else to preside over tho
national committee itself.
Cortelyou was detained In New
York on account of tho Slocum dis
aster, but Is expected here Wednes
day. His coming, however, will have
little effect on tho situation.
No Tariff Reform.
The hopes of tho tariff readjusters
for a revision plank In the platform
aro doomed to disappointment, as but
little talk Js heard foreshadowing any
concessions on the part of the stand
patters, but tho Western delegates
continue the agitation against an
anti-polygamy plank, a matter in
which tho delegates from Utah, Idaho,
Colorado, Wyoming and other inter
mountain commonwealths aro stand-
I Ing together.
I Revamping Statehood Issue.
Another fruitful topic for the West
erners Is tho statehood question.
Though the last two congresses havo
refused to carry out the platform
nlodires looklnc to the admission of
Oakland, Arizona and New Mexico, to
statonooci, mo uooiuura ui
hope, and the struggle will be renew
ed before the committee on resolu
tions. Is a Roosevelt Convention.
Chicago, June 21 It Is n Iloose
velt convention now. The change
has como with the arrival of the
great mass of delegates and thous
ands of hustling republicans. Iloos
ovolt badges galore aro worn on coats
of men to be seen In tho streets, meu
not registered among the leaders of
tho parlor conferences.
Until .Monday, the leaders held
sway. They wen' the old guard of the
machine organization, whoso own
great purpose was to perpetuate their
rule. Some were antl-Koosevelt, and
In whose eyes the president Is u io
lltlcal accident, who had been given
a renoralnntion by force of circum
stances. They threw cold water
whenever Iloosovelt sentiment ap
peared, Ignored the president In the
convention arrangements, and bad not
thought of him In planning tho decor
ations. Most Importunt of nil, they
decided that ono of weir own selec
tion should bo the new chairman of
tho committee, the national leader of
tho party.
Old Guard fs Routed.
Then It was tho president's friends
on tho ground made a dotermlnod
stand, Insisting that Cortelyou should
havo tho place. Those Koosovolt men
hold their guns until the anay of del
egates bogan flocking In Sunday
night. Monday tho ontlro force had
arrived, and tho old guard and ma
chlno was routed. Talk to ono of
them today, and you get the meek
stntomont that Cortelyou will bo
chairman, and they are for hlra. They
havo heard from tho "Llttlo fe lows"
who represent tho districts and who
are direct from tho people, they find
a mighty sentiment among tho mass
of republicans who favor Roosevelt.
Tho list of old organization display
ed on tho national committee by now
men, Includes Kerens, Missouri; Shel
don, Now York; Stewart, I'nol8
Hawloy, Texas. Tho old machine has
boon shattered, noosovelt js leader
nnd his picture now hangs In public
places and looks forth from badges,
his name figures In tho conversation
of groups of men and cheers of tho
crowds.
Four Women In Convention.
Chicago, Juno 21. Four women
are among thoso at tho convention
hall today, who will occupy the green
chairs reserved for tho select. They
come from Western Btatcs, whore wo
men vote, to sit as alternates In tho
convention:
Mrs. J. B. West of Idaho, heads tho
quartet in point of national expert
ence. She was one to represent Idn
ho In tho republican convention of
1900. Mrs. Jennie Nelson of Utah,
another alternate, Is wife of Charles
Nelson, a prominent business man,
This Is her first experience, though
she has been a delegato in many Btate
conventions in Utah.
Mrs. O. E. Lcfovcr and Mrs. A. A.
Eldrldge come from Colorado. The
latter Is entitled to a seat as a del
egnte as Judge Nixon for whom sho
Is an alternate, was unable to como,
For Early Adjournment.
Tentative efforts were made by the
New York delegation this morning to
rush the program of the convention
and complete all business before to
morrow night. Many delegates be
lieve that with tho ticket settled In
advance, with no situation to clear
up, It Is fruitless to drag tho con
vention over two days. Tho question
of an enrly adjournment rests entire
ly within tho discretion of tho con
vention. Chairman Payno, of tho national
committee, said a strong under cur
rent of sentiment Is favorablo to early
adjournment. Foraker says ho would
not be surprised If tho business of
the convention was concluded Wed
nesday night. Governor Black Is also
of the opinion tho convention ought
to be put through with a snap, as
everything Is cut and dried.
Decorative Plans.
The convention hull presented a
brilliant scene of color this morning.
Hanging as a sort of canopy above
the sluglo gallery was a long, fes
tooned strip of red, white and blue
bunting stretched from end to and
of each side of tho vast nmpltheater.
From each point where tho bunting
wus caught up, was suspended a large
hanging basket of graceful ferns.
Above overy second ono of those was
a group of llvo American flags In the
bosom of whobo folds reKsed a pic
ture of Iloosovelt, Between these
stands of Mags were bouglm and tho
grcon follnge made a pleaBant relief
for the eyes. Tho steel girders on
the way to tho roof were entwined
with green foliage, nnd each girder
boro another portrait of tho presi
dent. At the houth end of the ball on a
temporary stand, tho First Heglmcnt
Bund hold forth. At tho north end
was strung a largo placard announc
ing. "Under this banner both Harri
hoii and McKlnley were twice nomi
nated." An Immense oil painting of the lato
Marcus Hanua was lighted from ulxive
by electricity, and draped flags woro
suspended directly over tho speaker's
platform, whoso furniture wbb of dark
Flemish oak with tho exception of
tho chair and desk of the presiding
officer, which were of mahogany.
VIce-Chalrman Payne was supplied
with two gavels, ono a great mallet
threo Inches In diameter and six
Inches long, tho "storm gavel." Tho
other for ordinary conditions, a hand
some little affair of rosewood, dec
orated with a gold bund and hearing
his name and title. A similar gavel
was provided for Temiwrary Chair
man Hoot and Permanent Chairman
Cannon.
Declaration Speech.
At 12;2'J Mr. Payno Introduced Mr.
Boot and Odell, of Now York, moved
tho approval of tho selection of Boot
as temporary chairman, which passed
unanimously. Boot was greeted with
enthusiastic applauso, in tho midst of
which a plsture of Roosevelt was dis
played from tho platform without at
tracting much attention, and was
promptly removed.
Root began his speech In a low
voice, with calls of "louder."
Root waB frequently Interrupted by
applauso. His description of the
splendid financial condition of tho
country brought volloys of cheers.
His reference to tho boneflclent re
sults of tho occupation of tho Phil
ippines was widely cheered, as was
his Panama (paragraph.
At 1:05 Root concluded wltli a refer
ence to Hnnna which brought tho
convention standing.
At tho conclusion of tho prayer
Senator Scott presented Payno with
a gnvel on behnlt of tho Chicago
committee. Payno returned thanks.
John Mulley, of Ohio, rending clerk,
read tho call for tho convention.
Roosevelt Cheered.
Hoot's concluding words naming
Roosevelt, were tho signal for an en
thusiastic demonstration. Tho whole
convention sprang to Its feet, cheering
wildly, waving Hags nnd handker
chiefs.
Tho temporary officers selected by
tho national committee woro approv
ed, and on motion of Dick, of Ohio,
tho rules of the last convention were
adopted.
Coming In By States.
Tho first full delegation to appear
was Delaware, under Addlcks' lead.
Tho Oklnhonin men with sombreros
came next, greeted by tho first ap
plauso of tho day from tho galleries.
Then ennio a party of lownns with
Senator Allison nt tho head.
Sonntors Depow and Cullom were
tho recipients of applause, which was
doubled a few minutes Inter whun
Uncle Joo Cannon ontcm.il with Cor
nelius Bliss. The delegates now camo
In droves, and In 20 minutes nearly
all woro present, but tho galleries
woro not half filled. Few Indies nro
present compared with previous con
ventions. The first real enthusiasm camo
when Fairbanks, with tho Indiana
delegation, entered tho hall. Tho poo
peoplo howled and clapped, but It was
nil over In a few seconds, when quiet
reigned again.
Auspicious Opening.
The regular preliminaries were so
mild yet enlhuslnstlc, tho opening
was hailed as a good omen.
Undo Joo Cnnnon woro an oxpun
slve smllo ns tho cheers welled up
for Fairbanks, and mado plain the
fact that tho delegates had boarded
the Fairbanks wagon.
Swinging n two handed bung-starter
for a gavel, Payno rapped for or
der and quiet ensued whllo tho chap
lain prayed.
On motion of Foraker, of Ohio, sec
onded by Hepburn, of Iowa, tho con
vention agreed to seat tho Porto
Hleo and Phlllpplno delegates.
On motion of McComns, of Mary
land, announcement of tho stnndlng
committees was mado and rend,
Tho convention then adjourned un
til tomorrow.
