THE TICKET MADE UP President McKinley Renomi nated at Philadelphia. ROOSEVELT FOR VICE-PRESIDENT Speeches of the Day Wer Mad Foraker, Depew and thai Em pire State Governor. Philadelphia, June 23. President McKinley was unanimously renominat ed for president of the United States by the Republican National convention at 1:48 o'clock today, and an hour and 10 minutes later Governor Roosevelt, Df New York, was unanimously 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 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 Bither 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 expected over the question of reducing the representation in the South was averted by the withdrawal of ex-Senator Quay's proposition. The great hall became quiet as Senator Lodge, standing before 15,000 eagor 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 state, for th9 presentation of candidates. When A la bam al was called, a thin, red-whiskered delegate from that state rose and surrenered the first right to speak to Ohio. A flutter of handker chiefs filled the air, and cheer after cheer went up from theVlelegates in the pit, as Senator Foraker, of Ohio, strode oward the platform. At the end of a half hours' speech, the senator placed McKinley in nom ination, amid enthrusiasm unbounded. Seconding speeches were made by Theodore Roosevelt, 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 was impatient for a vote, and several times tried to howl him down. Calling- the Boll. 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 Young, 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 Secretary 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 whioh declared for Woodruff. Depew'. speech aroused the most dazzling dreams of the coun try's future. During every pause, the band played but one air, the tune which Colonel Roosevelt had heard in the trenches before Santiago. At 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. He lifted his broad-brimed 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 every lip. . Roberts Found GulltT. Salt Lake, June 23. The jury in the case ot B. H.

Pike left a letter full of abuse of hi. former wife, accusing her of many im-' proprieties. Pike formerly lived at Denver, where he was in the employ j of the Denver St Rio Grande railroad. He came to this city about eight yean ago. It I. thought that his mind wu deranged. i REPUBLICAN PLATFORM. Party's Principles Adopted by the Philadelphia Convention. 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, has been met and satisfied. When the people then as sembled at the polls, after a term of Democratic legislation aud administra tion, business was dead, industry par alyzed and the national ciedit disas trously impaired. The oountiy's capi tal was hidden 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 at the ratio of 16to 1 . The Republican party, denoucing this 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 commission has been executed, and the Republican pledge is redeemed; and prosperity more general and more abundant than we have ever known has followed tlieso enactments. There is no longer any controversy as to the valueof 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 is fully employed, and everywhere labor is profitably occupied.- McKinley 'a Administration. We indorse the administration of William McKinley. Its aots have been established in wisdom and in patriotism, and at home and abroad it has distinctly elevated and extended the influence of the American nation. Walking untried paths and facing un 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. Sound Money. We renew our allegianoe to the prin ciple of the gold standard, and declare our confidence in J the wisdom of the legislation of the Fifty-sixth congress, by whioh 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 ol 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 maintaiuing 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, art far as practicable, to their inhabitants. I'ublio 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 earnesfconsid eration of the people and of the legis latures of the several states. We favor the extension of the rural free delivery service whereve its ex tension may be justified. We favor home rule for aud the early admission to statehood of the territories of New Mexico, Arizona and Okla homa, v,, 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 iudustries 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 Philippines. 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'i sovereignty throughout the West Indies and in the Philippine islands. The largest measure of self-government cousisteut with their welfare and our duties shall be secured to them by law. To Cuba, independence and self-government were assured in the same voice by which war was declared. The Republican party, upon its hi tory and upon this declaration of its principles and policies confidently in vokes the considerate and approving judgment of the American people.

ANOTHER ASSAULT IMMINENT Foreign Officials at Shanghai Believe the Worst Has Happened to the Legations at Pekln. London, June 27. The British cruiser Terrible has arrived at Che Foo from Taku, with the latest news, which is as follows: "Eight hundred sikh and 200 Welb fusiliers have effected a junction with the American, German and Russian forces which had been cut off by the Chinese about nine miles from Tien Tsin. It was proposed to deliver an assault upon the Chinese forces at Tien Tsin last night." "Foreign offioial opinions here," says a dispatch from Shanghai to the Daily Express, dated yesterday, "m oline to the belief that the worst has happened to the legations at Pekin aud to Admiral Seymour. Even if the legations were safe June 14, there is no guarantee that they are safe now. The situation, in fact, grows more and more gloomy. The entire absenoe of reliable news from the capital seems to justify the worst construction which can be put upon it. "Bad news conies from Yan Kung, where the unrest is said to be growing hourly. Viceroy Liu Kin Yin has tele graphed the British authorities that he has ordered the five Chinese cruisers, which have been lying off the harbor there, to proceed to Nankin." "General Ma's army," says a corre spondent at Shan Hai Kan, "consist ing of 45,000 men, left a week ago for Pekin, and General Sung Wring's troops, numbering 2,500, left for the same place June 15. "A careful estimate of the number and armament of the Chinese troops around Pekin puts the total at 860,000, and it is calculated that these troops possess 227 centimeter Creusot guns, 18 Krupps and 150 Maxims. Their supply of ammunition is practically in exhaustible. It has been mainly sup plied by a German firm at Carlwitz." Another Shanghai dispatch says: "Li Ping Heng, ex-governor of Shim Tung, who is intensely snti-foreign, has gone to the Kiang Yin forts, 'on the Yangtse. He has declared his inten tion of resisting the landing of British forces in that region." Extensive preparations by the allies are going forward. The first regiment of British India's 10.000 men embarked at Calcutta yesterday, and 883 more marines received orders to go out from English ports. The British war office, in anticipation of a prolonged cam paign, is contracting for winter cloth ing and fur caps. The Amur army corps, ordered out by Russia, numbers 52,100 men, with 84 guns. Japan purposes to land 15, 000 men on Chinese territory within a fortnight. Among the minor military preparations, the Portuguese governor of Macao, island of Macao, at the southwest entrance of Canton river, is sending arms to the Portuguese con cession. The Germans in Hong Kong have cabled Emperor William to ask if they may serve in the local forces in defense of Hong Kong. A million rounds left Hong Kong yesterday for Taku by the British steamer Hailong. The Shanghai correspondent of the Times sends the following under yes terday's date: "A military correspondent at Taku says the operations of the allies are suffering from want of a recognized bead, defective organization and the lack of transport." A RESTRAINING ORDER. St. Louis Strikers Must Not Interfere With Mall Cars. St. Louis, June 27. Judge Elmer B. Adams, of the United States district court, today granted a tempoiary in junction in the case of W. D. Mahon and all members of Division No. 1311 of the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employes of America, restraining them from interfering in any way with the running of mail cars over the lines of the St. Louis Trausit Company. None of the defendants were present. They were represented by W. 8. Anthony, while District At torney Hitchcock and Rosiore acted for the government. In summing up the contents of the affidavits presented, Mr. Anthony de clared that it was not shown that any of the defendants named bad been guilty of lawlessness. "On the con', trary," he added, "the strike leaders and all the members of the Street Rail way Men's Uiiion have counselled law and order. The Transit Company is not responsible, perhaps, for the un settled conditions which existed. It is the union men who have been made to suffer and bear the brunt of all the disturbances. The president of the nnion, Mr. Patterson, is dying in the hospital as the result of being stabbed by an assassin." The London, England, Times says: "England, with 600 years of license, is the worst liquor cursed nation in the world." California Wheat for Pern. Lima, Peru, via Galveston, June 27.

Green Rhv, Wis., June 27. A nortb bound passenger train on the Chicags & Northwestern Railroad, loaded with excursionists bound for the Saengrefest in this city, collided at 10:15 this morning with a freight train at Depere, five miles south of here. Eight persona were killed aud 64 were injured. The accident happened just as the passenger train was pulling into the station. A double header freight was baoking into a side track, but had not cleared the main track. Those injured were nearly all in the seoond coach. When the (vo trains came together the first car, which was a combination car, was driven through the second coach, where the loss of life occurred. None of the trainmen were injured, tho engine crew jumping in time to save themselves. Both engines were badly damaged and two coaches were broken into kindling wood. Of the injured 30 are in a serious condition, and several may not recover. The excursion train was made up at Fond da Lac and was packed with peo ple from that city, Ushkosh and Neenah. The first two coaches of the passenger traiu were telescoped and demolished, few of the passengers escaping injury. Some were killed outright, other, were terribly mangled. Others were badly crushed and maimed all hemmed in amid the debris of the wrecked oar. Passengers poured out of the rear coaches, and it was but a moment be fore hundreds of willing worker, were busy extracting the unfortunates. Some of the injured were barely alive when they were taken out and died be fore they could be removed. The bodies of Charles Miersa, of Osh kosh, and Edward Koske, of Fond du Lao, were terribly crushed, and could scarcely be recognized. The cause of the accident, so far ai has been determined at this time, was due to the freight crew failing to giva the passenger the right of way. Late tonight 19 other injured, mak ing a total of 53 hurt, were found at different houses in the nighborhood, where they had been taken by friends. Of these the injuries generally consist ed of bruises and dislocations. MADMAN SLEW A FAMILY. He Then Clot a Revolver and Ended nil Own Existence. Cedar Rapids, la., June 27. Charles Mefford, a maniac, today killed James Fitzsimmons, fatally injured Joseph Drake, seriously and possibly fatally injured Mrs. James Fitzsimmons, slightly injured Miss Kate Fitzsim mons, and then ended his own life. Mefford, who is 27 years old, oame here from an asylum two years ago, and had never been returned. Late Saturday he became wild, and darted out of his home, a raving maniac. The police tried unsuccessfully to find him. (Shortly before 6 o'olock this morning, Reguiald Andrews, the janitor at the Old Ladies' Home, was awakened by crashing glass. The next moment Mefford stood before him, stark naked, swinging a neukyoke. "I have murdered a whole family tonight, and I am going to kill you next and then everybody ii the home," deolared Mefford.
