Philadelphia, June 23.— President
McKinley was unanimously renominat-
sd for president of the United States
by the Republican National convention
at 1:48 o’clock today, and an hour and
10 minutes 'ater Governor Roosevelt,
af New York, was unanimously select­
ed to stand beside him in the coming
battle.
Snch unanimous demonstrations In
honor of the nominees of a national
convention have never before been
equaled perhaps in the history of poli­
tics in this country.
It was a love
feast, a jubilee, a ratification meeting.
There was a fine setting for today’s
spectacular drama. Bright peonies at
either end of the stage made two flam­
ing bits of color. Throughout the vast
multitude fans moved ceaselessly to
and fro like the wings of a crowd of
alarmed gulls beating the air.
There
were no preliminaries.
The wrangle
•xpected over the question of reducing
the representation in the South was
averted by the withdrawal of ex-Sen-
ator Quay’s proposition.
The great
hall became qniet as Senator Lodge,
standing before 15,000 eager faces,
gavel in hand, announced that nomina­
tions for president of the United States
were in order. The reading clerk ad­
vanced to the front of the platform.
He was about to call the roll of states
for the presentation of candidates.
When Alabama! was called, a thin,
red-whiskered delegate from that state
rose and snrrenered the first right to
speak to Ohio. A flutter of handker­
chiefs filled the air, and cheer after
cheer went up front the'delegates in the
pit, as Senator Foraker, of Ohio, strode
oward the platform.
At the end of a half hours’ epeeoh,
the senator placed M cKinley in nom­
ination, amid enthrusiasm unbounded.
Seconding speeches were made by
Theodore Roosevelt, Senator Thurston,
John W . Yerkes, an orator from the
Bine Grass state, and Governor Mount,
of Indiana, but before the latter con­
cluded the convention was impatient
for a vote, and several times tried to
howl him down.
C a llin g the R o ll.
Then the roll of states was called
and delegation after delegation rose in
solid blocks and cast their votes for
McKinley.
When Chairman Lodge
made the announcement that the presi
dent had been renominated for the term
beginning March 4, 1901, there was
the same wild storm which had been
raised by Foraker, and when it was
over Roosevelt’s nomination for the
vice-presidency evoked a succession of
similar demonstrations.
Lafe Yonng, who was with Roosevelt
in Cuba, nominated him on behalf of
the state which had originally came to
Philadelphia for Dolliver.
His nom­
ination was seconded by Delegate Mur­
ray, of Hecretary Long’s state, and Del­
egate Ashton, of Washington, who
came here for Bartlett Tripp. |Chaun-
cey Depew wound np the oratory on
behalf of the state which declared for
Woodruff.
Depew’s speech aroused
the most dazzling dreams of the coun­
try's future. Daring every pause, the
band played hat one air, the tune
which Colonel Roosevelt had heard in
the trenches before Santiago.
A t 2:14 o ’ clock the convention, which
had done the unparalleled thing of
nominating both the candidates for
president and vice-president unani­
mously, adjourned.
Governor Roosevelt drove from the
convention hall with Mr. Odell, seated
in the rear of an open landau.
Ha
lifted his broad-briuied hat to the 'con­
tinuous salvos that greeted him as he
passed through the densely packed
street, like a conquering hero fresh
from new victories. Tonight the faces
of McKinley and Roosevelt are on all
the badges, and their names are on
•very lip.

Philadelphia, June 23.— The follow­
ing is the text of the platform adopted
by the Kepublicau National convention:
The Republicans of the United
States, through their chosen represen­
tatives. met in national convention,
looking back upon an unsurpassed rec­
ord of achievement aud looking for­
ward into a great field of duty aud op­
portunity, and appealing to the judg­
ment of their oountrymen, make these
declarations:
The expectation in which
the
American people, turning from the
Democratic party, entrusted the power
of the United States four years ago to a
Republican chief magistrate aud a Re­
publican congress, has been met and
satisfied. When the people then as­
sembled at the-polls, after a term of
Djinocratic legislation aud adininitra-
tion, business was dead, industry par­
alysed and the national ciedit disas­
trously impaired. The couutiv’s capi­
tal was hidden away aud its labor dis­
tressed and unemployed.
The Demo­
crats had no other plan with which to
improve the ruinous conditions which
they had themselves produced, than to
coin silver at the ratio of 16'to 1. The
Republican party, denoucing this plan
as sure to produce conditions even
worse than thoBe from which relief was
sought, promised to restore prosperity
by means of two legislative measures—
a protective tariff and a law making
gold the standard of value.
The peo­
ple, by great majorities, issued to the
Republican party a commission to en­
act these laws. This commission lias
been executed, and the Republican
pledge is redeemed; and prosperity
more general and more abundant than
we have ever known has followed these
enactments.
There is no longer any controversy as
to the valne of any governemeut obli­
gations. Every American dollar is a
gold dollar or its equivalent, and
American credit stands higher than
that of any nation.
Capital is fully
employed, and everywhere labor is
profitably occupied.
M c K in le y ’» Adm inistration.
We indorse the administration ol
William McKinley.
Its acts have
been established in wisdom and in
patriotism, aud at homo and abroad it
has distinctly elevated aud extended
the influence of the American nation.
Walking untried paths and facing tin
forseen responsibilities, President Mc­
Kinley has been, in every situation,
the true American patriot and upright
statesman, clear in vision, strong in
judgment, firm in action, always in­
spiring and deserving the confidence of
his countrymen.
bo und M o n e y .
We renew our allegiance to the prin­
ciple of the gold standard, and declare
our confidence in ^the wisdom of the
legislation of the Fifty-sixth congress,
by which the parity of all of our
money and the stability of. our cur­
rency on a gold basis has been secured.
Protection.
*
W e renew our faith in the policy ol
protection to American labor. In that
policy oar industries have been estab­
lished, diversified aud maintained.
By protecting the home, competition
has been stimulated and production
cheapened.
W e commend the policy of the Re­
publican party in maintaining the effi­
ciency of the civil service.
The ad­
ministration has acted wisely in its
effort to secuie for public service in
Cuba, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the
Philippine islands only those whose
fitness has been determined by training
and experience. We believe that em­
ployment in the public service in these
territories should be confined, as far as
practicable, to their inhabitants.
Public movements looking to a per­
manent improvement of the roads aud
highways of the country, meet with
our cordial approval, and we recom­
mend this subject to the earnesUconsid-
eration of the people and of the legis­
latures of the several states.
We favor the extension of the rural
free delivery service wherever its ex­
tension may be jnstilied.
We favor home rule for and the early
admission to statehood of the territories
of New Mexico, Arizona and Okla­
homa.
We favor the construction, owner­
ship, control aud protection of an isth­
mian canal by the government of the
United States.
In the interest of our expanding com­
merce, we recommend that congress
create a department of commerce and
industries in the charge of a secretary
with a seat in the cabinet.
We approve the annexation of the
Hawaiian islands to the United States.
The Ph ilippin e*.
In accepting, by the treaty of Paris,
the responsitiility of onr victories in
the Spanish war, the president and the
senate won the undoubted approval ol
the American |>eople. No other course
was possible than to destroy Spain’s
sovereignty throughout the West Indies
anil in the Philippine islands.
The largest measure of self-govern­
ment consistent with their welfare and
our duties shall I)« secured to them by
law.
To C u l», independence and
self-government were assured in the
same voice by which war was declared.
The Republican party, upon its his­
tory and upon this declaration of its
principles and policies confidently in­
vokes the considerate and approving
judgment of the American people.

London, June 26.— The silence ol Pe­
kin continues unbroken. Four thous­
and men of the allied forces were hav-
iug sharp daieusive fighting at Tien
Tsin Tuesday and Wednesday, with a
prospect of being reinforced Thursday.
This is the situation in China, as set
forth in the British government dis­
pa teh:
“ Eight hundred Americans are tak­
ing part in the fighting at Tien Tsin.”
says the Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Express, cabling last evening,
“ ami they apparently form a part of a
supplementary force, arriving with
Germans aud British alter the conflict
started. It is impossible to estimate
the number of the Chinese there; they
had a surprising number of guns.”
This information appears to have.been
brought by the United States gunboat
Nashville to Che Foo and telegraph
thence to Shanghai.
The Chinese are deserting Shanghai
in large numbers and going into the in­
terior.
Reports from native sources continue
to reach Shanghai of anarchy in l’e
kin. According to these tales, the
streets are tilled day and night with
Boxers, who are wholly beyond the
coutrol of the Chinese troops aud who
are working themselves np to a frenzy
and clamoring for the death of all for­
eigners.
The English consulate at Shanghai is
said to have receievd from influential
uatves reports of a tragedy in the palace
at Pekin, though precisely what is not
defined.
The consulate thinks that
Admiral Seymour, commander of the
international relief column, was mis­
led from information from Pekin and,
consequently, underestimated the difli-
culties on his way hih I the Chinese
power of resistance with Maxim guns
and Mansets. The consulate at Shang­
hai still believes the foreign ministers
at Pekin are safe, although Japanese
reports received at Shanghai allege
that up to June 15, 100 foreiguers had
been killed in l’ekiu.

taneously the fire extended to James
Piatt’s saloon and restaurant and A.

]>er side. For a time the entire blook
bounded by Fifth avenue, Wood street,
Diamond aud Market streets seemed
loomed to destruction. Immoose fire­
brands were carried by the wind to
buildings in all directions.
The greatest excitement prevailed in
the rooms of liutt’a Business College,
where 50 or more students were at
work. The extension of the flame«
was so rapid that these people had to
run for their lives, not having time to
gather their belongings together. Re­

Manila, June 25.— Two hundred F il­
ipinos met this morning in Manila tc
determine honorable aud decorous
methods for securing peace. The re­
sults were submitted this evening to
General MacArthur, who accepted
them. The leaders of the meeting w ill
use their influence to induce Aguiualdo
to accept the arrangements. If they
are supccessful, as they hope to be,
they believe Aguiualdo w ill issue or­
ders in conjunction with the American
authorities for the cessation of hostili­
ties.
The meeting which was the first ol
the kind since the days of the Filipino
congress, was composed of the distinct
revolutionary element, the Americanist
being lacking. Thirty political prison­
ers were release^ from jail this morn­
ing in order to attend. Kenor Pateruo
presided and Seuor Iluencamino, the
originator of the movement; Senor
Flores, General Pio der Pilar, General
Garcia, General Macahulos, and other
prominent revolutionists were preoont.
It waa pointed out thHt the questions
to be considered were military and
civil, the military concerned with a
cessation of hostilites, and the civil
with the determination of the political
status of the Filipinos. The immed­
iate object of the meeting was to effect
peace, aud consequently the leaders
coaid consnlt with the civil commis­
sion as to political matters. It waa
evident that Senor l’aterno was con­
vinced that he could obtain Aguinal-
do’s sanction to a peace based upon the
following seven clauses, which, after
four hours, were unanimonsly accepted
as compatible with an honorable peace:
First— Amnesty.
Second— The return by the Ameri­
cans to tne Filipino« of confiscated
property.
Third— Employment of revolutionary
generals in the navy and militia when
established.
Fourth— The application of the F ili­
pino revenues to succor needy Filipino
soldiers.
Fifth— A guarantee to the Filipinos
of the exercise of iwraonal rights ac­
corded to Americans by their constitu­
tion.
Sixth— Establishment of civil gov­
ernments at Manila and in the prov­
inces.
Seventh— Expulsion of the friars.
The statement of the seventh provis­
ion was vociferously acclaimed, the
entire assembly shooting, “ expel, ex­
pel.”

Atlanta, Ga., June 26.— A passenger
train on the Macon brunch of the
Southern railway rap into a wash oat
me and a half miles north of Mc­
Donough last night, and was complete­
ly wiecked. The wreck caught fire
ind tbe entire train, with the excep­
tion of the sleeper, was destroyed.
Every person on the train, except the
3<-cupants of the l’ullman car,¡perished.
Not a member of the traiu crew escap­
ed. Thirty-five people in all were
killed.
The train left Macon at 7:10, and
was due in Atlanta at 9:40 last night.
McDonough station was reached on
lime.
At this point connection is
made for Columbus, Ga., and every
uiglit the Columbus train is coupled
on and hanied through to Atlanta.
Last night, however, for the first time
in many months, the Columbus train
w u b reported two hours lute,
on ac­
count of a wash out on that blanch,
and the Macon traiu started on to
Atlanta without its Columbus connec­
tion.
Tremendous rains, of daily occur­
rence for the past two week«, have
swollen all streams in this part of the
South aud several wash outs have been
reported on the different roads. Camps
creek, which runs into the Ocmnlgee,
waa over its bank aud its waters had
spread to all the lowlands throngh
which it rnns. About a mile and a
half north of McDonough the creek
comes somewhere near the Southern's
trucks, and, running alongside of it for
some distunce, finally passes away
nndei the road by a heavy stone cul­
vert. A cloudburst broke over that
section of the country about 6 o ’clock
last night, and presumably shortly
after durk washed out a section of the
track nearly 100 feet in length.
Into this the swiftly moving train
plunged. The storm was still raging
aud all the car windows were closed.
The passengers, secure as they thought,
aud sheltered comfortably from the in-
olement weather, went to death with­
out an instant’ s warning.
The train,
consisting of baggage car, a second-
class coaoh, first-class coach and a
l ’ullman sleeper, was knocked into
kindling wood by the fall. The wreck
caught fire in a few miuutes after the
fall, anil all the coaches were burned
except the Full man car. Every person
on that train except the occapauts of
the Pullman car, perished in the dis­
aster. There was no escape, as tho
heavy Pullman car weighted down the
others, and the few alive in the sleeper
were unable to render assistance tc
their fellow passengers.

Manila, Jane 26.— General Mac­
Arthur has given a formal answer to
the Filipino leaders who last Thursday
submitted to him peace proposals that
had been approved earlier in the day
by a meeting of representative insurg­
ents. In his reply he assured them
that all personal rights under tho
United States constitution excepting
trial by jury and the right to bear
•ims would be guaranteed them.
~ The promoters of the peace movement
are now engaged in reconstructing the
draft of the seven clauses submitted to
Geuerul MacArthur in such a way as
to render it acceptable to both sides.
The seventh clause, providing for
the expulsion of the friars. General
MacArthur rejected on the ground that
the settlement of this question rests
with the commission headed by Judge
Taft.
