The state de partment does not contemplate any re clamations upon the Moorish govern ment on account ot the Perdicaris Inci dent. In Its view that tne government has suffered severely, both from a financial point of view and In national humiliation, through Its compliance with the demand ot the use of force, by appearing to the powerful Influences of the Shereefs Mouley All and Mouley Ahmed, who headed the escort sent to bring the prisoners to Tangier. More over, France practically furnished the money from which the ransom was paid, as the recent French loan of $12, 600,000 gave the sultan the means to meet Raisuli'a demand for $70,000 ransom. Tho Raisull incident Is going to have an important effect on Die adoption of a flrni French policy toward Morocco. The correspondent of the Associated Press learns that definite steps have already been taken to inaugurate French authority. St. Delcasse has se lected M. Raindre, the ox-French rep resentative at Geneva, to take up the organization of the Moroccan customs at the ports, including Tangier. The recent French loan to Morocco is guar anteed by the customs lecelpts. There fore, M. Raindre will oversee the cus toms administration. He Is now or- agnizing a large staff. The next step will be the organization of trench po lice or gendarmerie at Tangier. It appears by all accounts, including that of Peidicaiis himself, as set down in his letters, that he did not suffer undue hardship: that he was treated with kindness and consideration by Raisuli and that he has no Ill-feeling toward that, to him, agreeable bandit No sufficient reason exists why any fur ther demands should be made upon the sultan of Morocco either for indemnity or the punishment of the kidnapers. If the sultan chooses to take vengeance upon Raisuli, that is his own affair. PLANNED A DASH. Japanese Struck Russian Fleet In the Nick ol Time. Tokio, June 23. Admiral Togo, re porting further on his success at Port Arthur, says his patrol boat discovered the battleship Peresviet and seven other vessels, accompanied by nine torpedo boat destroyers, near the entrance to Port Arthur harbor. Tbe patrol boat wamed him wirelessly, and he imme diately advanced his entire fleet, except those engaged upon special duty. Tbe admiral then discovered that the Russian fleet consisted of six battle ships, five cruisers and 14 destroyers, the commander having evidently plan ned a dash by snndown. The Russians stopped outside tne en trance to the harbor, and after night fall a fleet of Japanese torpedo boat de stroyers resolutely attacked tbe Rus sian ships, and succeeded in torpedoing and sinking a battleship of the Peres viet type, and disabled the battleship Sevastopol. A ciuiser of tbe Diana type was ob served burning. It was towed Into the harbor and it was evident she suBtattn- ed serious damage.

The officials here are not dls posed to assume a belligerent attitude toward a small power, but they expect Haytl adequately to realize and redreis the offenses.

Regardless ot tho tact that the nomi nation of one had been assured for THEODORE ROOSEVELT Republican Nominee for President months and the other for days, the an nouncement of the choice was accom panied by a resounding demonstration which attested the candidates' uni versal popularity. The cheering was led by figures known through the breadth of the land and echoed by a mighty throng ot en thusisstic men and radiant women as sembled in the Coliseum to witness the crowning feature, as welt as the close of the national convention that marks the selm-centennial of the Re publican party in the United States. CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS Republican Nominee for Vice President No less than 10,000 men and women participated in the ratification of the party program, and the consequent roar of cheering and bandclapplng was deaf ening. The band stationed high among the girders ot the hall was drowned by tbe tumultuous, unbounded demonBtra tion. Hats were tossed Into tbe air, state emblems wero waved and flags, Veautiful, trl-coolred, shimmering silken flags, fluttered frdm every hand as though stirred by a gale. The roll was called and the unanim ous vote of the delegations recorded for Mr. Roosevelt without incident until tbe name of New Jersey asked unanlin oils consent that the roll be dispensed with and that tbe secretary ot the con vention be Instructed to cast the entire vote for Mr. Roosevelt. The objection was general and every state accepted the opportunity of casting its entire vote for the president. Pandemonium broke loose again when the speaker announced that there were 994 votes anil 994 had been cast for Roosevelt. A great picture of the president was carried about through tbe hall. Ex-Governor Black, of New York, made the speech nominating Roosevelt, and Senator Dolllver, of Iowa, nomln ated Fairbanks. Russian Navy Soon to Strike. St. Petersburg, June 24.

Chicago, June 27, A special to the Daily News from Chetoo says; "Another demonstration took place off Port At thur Thursday. Firing be gan from the torts about 10 a, in,, and continued until 10 p. in. The program was about the same as on the previous day. "Tho destroyers and torpedo boatB pursued tho same Incites, nnd nu aux iliary cruiser lay ofl the is'anda until tho tiring had ceased, when It proceed ed eastward at full speed. "At 8:30 p.m., tho snmo evening, firing began heavily from the bluff, with much activity of the searchlight, Indicating the approach ot torpedo boats. A little later the sound of moie distant firing was heard, evidently from tho land side of Port Arthur, con tinuing until 2:30 in the morning. "During that period there was un almost uninterrupted thunder as ol field guns and volley tiring, punctuated with clashes as of siege guns. "It is probable that what took place wns a general shore action with a naval demonstration. It seems as though tho Japanese Intend to wear out tbe de fenders by continued night activity, be fore making a final simultaneous sea and land attack." MAY LEAD TO REBELLION. President Moter Says Miners Will Re- sent Policy ol Bell. Cripple Creek, Colo., June 25. In reply to a telegram from the New York World, Charles II. Moyer, president of the Western Federation ot Miners, who is now a prisoner in the county jail here, sent an extended statement of present conditions in the state from his standpoint. Mr. Moyer said in part: "The deportation of the union men and others, being in my opinion un lawful, tho Western Federation ot Miners will use all lawful means to re establish their members In their homes. No violence will be resorted to, but such legal steps as may be nec essary to bring about the desired re sults will be taken at the proper time. Pending such action, deported mem bers and their families will bo sup ported by the federation. "General Bell alleges that his policy has been successful, and that ether states are expected to follow suit. If this be true, then rebellion is not im probably, as the great majority of the American people are today condemning such a system, and, regardless ol union ism, would bitterly resist any attempt to put the same into practice. I disa gree with the general sb to the labor troubles being settled in Colorado, but do believe they will be settled by the ballot in tbe month of November." Places Not to Be Mad for Asking;. Washington, June 24. D. I. Murphy, secretary of tbe Isthmian Canal com mission, today gave out the following "Applications for places under the commission have been tiled by thous ands, and are still pouring in. It ought to be understood that no one not possessing special qualification will b appointed for the work ot the com mission. The work will be largely ol a technical character. "Those applying for service on the Isthmus, in addition to the possession of exceptional qualifications, must pass a rigid physical examination, under the direction ot the public health and marine hospital service to test their fit ness for service In the tropics. ''Probably not one In a hundred of those applying have even a remote chance of appointment." Kurepatkln Addressea Troops. Kalchou, June 25.
