THE TICKET MADE UP
President McKlnley Renomi
nated at Philadelphia.
ROOSEVELT FOR VICE-PRESIDEKT
Speerhee of the Dap Were Made
JToraker, Ipew and tha Baaw
pi re State Governor.
Philadelphia, June 28. President
McKlnley was unanimously renomlnat
sd for president of the United States
by tha Republican National convention
st 1:48 o'clock today, and an hour and
10 minutes later Governor Roosevelt.
Df New York, was nnanimously select
ed to stand beside him in the coming
battle.
Such unanimous demonstrations In
honor of the nominees of a national
convention have never before been
equaled perhaps in the history ot poli
tics In this country. It was a love
least, a Jubilee, a ratification meeting
mere was a tine setting for today
ipectacnlar drama. Bright peonies at
sitber end ol the stage made two flam
ing bits of color. Throughout the vast
multitude fans moved ceaselessly to
snd fro like the wings ot a crowd of
alarmed gulls beating the air. There
were no preliminaries. The wrangle
expected over the question of reducing
the representation in the South was
s verted by the withdrawal of ex-Sen
stor Quay's proposition. The great
nan became quiet as Senator Lodge,
landing before 16,000 eager faces
gavel in hand, announced that nomina
tions for president of the United States
were in order. The reading clerk ad
ranced to the front of the platform
lie was about to call the roll of states
for the presentation of candidatea.
When Alahamal was called, a thin
rea-wbiskered delegate from that stata
rose and surrenered the first right to
peak to Ohio. A flutter of handker
chiefs filled the air, and cheer after
cheer went up from the)delegates in tha
pit, aa rienator Poraker, of Ohio, strode
oward the platform.
At the end of a half hours' speech.
tne senator placed McKinley in nom
ination, amid enthrusiaam unbounded,
beconding speeches were made by
ineodore ttooaevelt, Senator Thurston,
John W. Yerkes, an orator , from the
Blue Grass state, and Governor Mount,
of Indiana, but before the latter con
cluded the convention waa impatient
for a vote, and several times tried to
bowl him down.
Calling; lha Roll.
Then the roll of states was called
and delegation after delegation rose in
solid blocks and cast their votes for
McKinley. When Chairman Lodes
made the announcement that the presi
dent had been renominated for the term
rogiumng aiarcn , ivui, there waa
the same wild storm which had been
raised by Foraker, and when it waa
over Koosevelt'a nomination for tha
vice-proaidency evoked a succession of
similar demonstrations.
Lafe Young, who waa with Roosevelt
in Cuba, nominated him on behalf of
the state which had originally came to
t'hlladelphia for JJolliver. Ilia nom
ination was seconded by Delegate Mur
ray, of Seoretary Long' state, and Del
egate Ash ton, of Waxhington, who
came here for Bartlett Tiipp. IChaun
cey uepew wound np the oratory oa
behalf of the state whloh declared for
Woodruff. Depew'a speech aroused
the most dazzling dreams of the coun
try 'a future. During every pause, the
band played but one air, the tuna
which Colonel Roosevelt had heard in
the trenches before Santiago.
At 8: 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-brimed hat to the "con
tinuous salvos that greeted him aa ha
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 oa
(very lip.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
Party' Priaelplee Adopted hp tha
Philadelphia t-'oarentlon.
Philadelphia, June 23. The follow
ing is the text of the platform adopted
by the Republican 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 and looking for
ward into a great field of duty and op
portunity, and appealing to the judg
ment of their countrymen, 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 and a Re
publican congress, baa been met and
satisfied. When the people then as
sembled at the polls, after a term of
Djmocratic legislation and adminstra
tion, business was dead, industry par
alyzed and the national ciedit disas
trously impaired. The oountiy'a capi
tal waa bidden away and 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 st the ratio of 16to 1. The
Republican party, denoucing thia plan
as sure to produce conditions even
worse than those 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 commiseion has
been executed, and the Republican
pledge ia redeemed; and prosperity
more general and more abundant than
we have ever known baa followed these
enactments.
There is no longer any controversy as
to the value of any governement obli
gations. Every American dollar is a
gold dollar or its equivalent, and
American credit stands higher than
that of any nation. Capital ia fully
employed, and everywhere labor is
profitably occupied.
MeKlaley'a Administration.
We indorse the administration of
William McKinley. Its acts have
been established in wisdom and in
patriotism, and at home and abroad it
baa distinctly elevated and extended
the influence of the American nation,
Walking untried paths and facing on
forseen responsibilities, President Mc
Kinley bss been, in every situation,
the true American patriot and upright
statesman, clear In vision, strong in
judgment, firm in action, alwaya in
spiring and deaerving the confidence of
hia countrymen.
Sound Money.
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.
We renew our faith in the policy oi
protection to American labor. In that
policy our industries have been estab
lished, diversified and maintained
By protecting the home, competition
has been stimulated and production
cheapened.
We commend the policy of the Re
publican party In maintaining the efH
ciency of the civil service. The ad
ministration haa acted wisely in its
effort to seoui e for public service in
Cuba, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the
Philippine islanda only thorn whoae
fitness has been determined by training
and experience. We believe that em
ployment in the public service in these
territories should be confined, aa far as
practicable, to their inhabitants.
1'ubllo movements looking to a per
manent improvement of the roads and
highways of the country, meet with
our cordial approval, and we recom
mend this subject to the earnest consid
eration of the people and of the legig
latures of the several states.
We favor the extension of the rural
free delivery service wherever its ex
tension may be justified.
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 and 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 tha
Hawaiian islands to the United States
The Phlllpplnea.
In accepting, by the treaty of Paris,
the responsibility of our victories in
the Spanish war, the president and the
senate won the undoubted approval ol
the American people. No other course
was possible than to destroy Spain's
sovereignty throughout the West Indies
and in the Philippine islands.
The largest measure of self-govern
ment consistent with their welfare and
our duties shall be secured to them by
law. To Cuba, independence and
self-goverumeut 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-
okes the considerate and approving
uilgmeut of the American people.

Several dispatches from Shanghai
Continue to recount wholesnln almiffhtnr
at Pekin. The soldiers and Boxers are
said to be massacring each other, and
the Chinese manchua are alan rennrterl
to be engaged in the slaughter. Prince
inan is alleged to have sacked and
burned the palace. The emperor Is re
ported to have been killed, the dowaser
empress is represented as missing, and
in some quarters it is believed she his

to have been contained in a letter from

PEACE WITH TAGALS.
Filipino Leader at Manila Agree TJpor
Terms.
Manila, June 25. Two hundred Fil
ipinos met this morning in Manila tc
determine honorable and decorous
methods for securing peace. The re
sults were submitted this evening to
General MacArthur,. who accepted
them. The leaders of the meeting will
use their influence to induce Aguinaldo
to accept the arrangements. If they
are supecessful, as tbey hope to be,
they believe Aguinaldo will issue or
ders in conjunction with the American
authorities for the Cessation of hostili
ties.
The meeting which was the first of
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 released from jail this morn
ing in order to attend. Senor Paterno
presided and Senor Buencamino, the
originator of the movement; Senor
Flores, General Pio det Pilar, General
Garcia, General Macabulos, and other
prominent revolutionists were present.
it was pointed out that the questions
to be considered were military and
civil, the military concerned with a
cessation of host ili tea. and the civil
with the determination of the political
status of the Filipinos. The immed
iate object of the meeting was to effect
peace, and consequently the leaders
could consult with the civil commis
sion as to political matters. It was
evident that Senor Paterno 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 unanimously accepted
as compatible with an honorable peace:
rirst Amnesty.
Second The return by the Ameri
cans to the Filipinos of confiscated
property.
Third Employment of revolutionary
generals in the navy and militia when
established.
Fourth The application of the Fili
pino revenues to succor needy Filipino
Boldiers.
Fifth A guarantee to the Filipinos
of the exercise of personal 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 shouting, "expel, ex
pel." Yellow Fever lu Cuba.
