The following resolutions, presented " by tbe committee on resolutions were unanimously adopted: The republicans of Ohio, in state convention, representing their largest vote, rejoicing with our entire country in the election of President Roosevelt and "Vice-President Fairbanks, renew their pledge to uphold the principles and policies, decisively victorious in November last, whieh W their success maintain tbe steady progress of na tional prosperity. By 000,095 ( votes and the unprecedented plurality of 255,421 given Theodore' Roosevelt, Ohio obligated her citizenship to sustain him and the republican congress chos en to co-operate with him in carrying into effect the pledges and promlsesof, the republican platform upon j which they were elected. We reaffirm une ' qui vocally the republican" state and national platforms of 1904. We stand "by the principles of protection to American labor and American indus try.' We believe that congress should so legislate that American ships, with American sailors, shall carry American products over all seas and through the Panama canal that the United States .Of America is building. The American navy should bo made ; and kept equal to very need. We are proud of the steady progress in Americanizing in our island possessions and of our coun try's great and growing power in pro moting the peace of the world.; ; "Tbe amendments 'to the eonstitu--tion are as sacred as the original in strument. The aaeredness of the bal lot must be maintained, and j unjust discrimination, based directly or indi rectly on race, color 'or previous condi tion must nt be tolerated. ' 4 Always supporting genuine progress, evolution, not revolution; liberty, not license; the republican -party continues to oppose every insidious device to un dermine the stability of our institu tions. President Roosevelt's compre hensive enforcement of the republican laws against monopolies, combines and trusts in restraint of trade, laws whose -validity the supreme court of the United States has snstained, has our hearty encouragement and' support. We also indorse every effort-for the active enforcement of existing laws to step all unjsst discriminations and special favors in tbe form of railway rebates nr by any other device, and we favor such furfhef legislation 'this subject, with adequate penalites, as may, after full investigation, seem to the republican congress and; admin istration wise and conservative, yet adequate to prevent unfair advantage to any and to promote and insure the rights of all individoala in this and other localities. t J ' No nation has ever known such widespread prosperity as the -United Btates has enjoyed since the restora tion of the Republican party to power by MeKinley's election.

Him by Master in Chancery Dono hna and Mulligan Guilty of Contempt CniOAGO, ' May 25.-Cornelius P. Shea, president of the International Teamsters' Union, was upheld today by .Judge Kohlsaat, of the federal court, in his refusal to answer ques tions before Master in Chancery Sher man, which might' tend to incriminate him. - Shea is now under indictment in the 'Criminal court, and 'Kohlsaat de clared that the answer to some of the questions put to him might prejudice the hearing of his ease. In the same decision whieh excused Shea, the court ruled that Bernard Mulligan, the pres ident of the Express Drivers' Union, and John Donohue, a member of the same union, had refused to answer questions which' would not in any way connect them with criminal proceed ings, and they, therefore, were in con tempt of court. ' The strike did not spread to any great " extent today, - and there w praetieally no disorder. A number of lumber firms made a few deliveries, but did hot attempt anything , like r, their normal amount of business. ' ' - i- Mayor Dunne and Chief of Police O'Neill did not meet with tbe response they expeeted when they called for 1,000 volunteers for additional police men. Not over 100 men responded, and only three-quarters of these proved ac ceptable.: ', ,' ' In the lumber districts several eon eetns, when offered police protection, refused to aecept it, saying that it was not possible for them to make deliv eries unless the wagons were guarded by soldiers. O'Neill replied that he would not foree the officers upon them and they could wait for the soldiers, but he would cause their yards to be patrolled by his officers. Tonight there is no apparent pros pect in any direction of a settlement of the; strike. The express companies absolutely refuse to recede from the declaration that none of their old men Will be re-employVd. A committee representing the team sters was appointed ' tonight for the purpose of meeting representatives of the Team Owners' Association. The bitter made a request for arbitration of the violation of the contracts by the teamsters In refusing to make deliveries of goods to boyeotted houses. It is pos sible that the f two committees may agree to settle tbe matter of allowing the union teamsters tq make deliveries. DELAYING DEAL RUSSIAN BANK TRYING TO GAIN ADVANTAGE IN SETTLEMENT . OF BOXER INDEMNITY. If China Consents to Proposal, Nego tiations Will Drag Along Indefinite ly Powers .; Have Protested Against Proposition and, May Check It. TIEN TSIN, May 23. The settle ment of the Boxer indemnity question has been delayed by the action of tbe Russo -Chinese bank. Russia has chosen to receive her portion of tbe indemnity in silver, and the Busso-Chinese : bank is endeavoring te obtain payment on Sbanghai'ht the London price of sil ver instead of the price at Shanghai, thus avoiding extra charges. If China consents, the bank will secure an ad vantage amounting to 1 per cent. f Tbe powers have' protested against the ' troDOsttlon. aad it is considered probable that the Basso-Chinese 1 balk will not be eueeessrni in its negoMa tloas. Kstung, the governor of Pekln. representing the board of revenue, did, fn fact, consent, but 'his consent -was not ratified.1. If China weakly assents, the settlement of the Indemnity ques tion will be prolonged InaefinitelyHW eause similar indemnities will-' be de manded in other quarters. " j r WTLL BUILD INTO NEZ .

The de cision of tbe president and I secretary Taft to have the Panama eanal eom-; mission purchase the supplies for the construction of the canal wherever they can be bought the cheapest has-jmr- dueed. great . exeiteraent among politi cians' all over the country, and is al most the only topic : of conversation just now between tbe president and vis itors at the white house. It strength ens interest in the subject of tariff re vision, end gives the highly-protected industries of the country a terrible fright. In fact,. this single decision of tbe president will have a ptTw-ful ef- (ect in couimg elections.. The presi dent says that their annouticedTleter mination was the only one whielTcouM have been reachel under the rtrenm stances, and that ' the whole question must now be -settled by congress. The canal commission maintains that if the great manufactories ' can sell their product 30 or 40 per cent cheaper in Europe and South America than In this country, then it is proper for those having the matter of building the ca nal at stake to save millions upon mill ions of dollars to the government' by buying these materials abroad. TEere is scarcely a dissenting voice from the large number of ' politicians who hive suddenly . bobbed . up ip Washington upon the extra session theory.

SenaitiTe Nature. 1 The unpleasant railway rate , Contro versy which " arose .from Secretary Taft's speech at the banquet given by the officials of the International Rail way Congress when in session here, has assumed a new phase, and it is said the president is determined to pay his ear fare when he goes upon. his south ern trip. The allusion made by one"C? the railway men before the senate in vestigation committee".' to - the effect that the presidents of the United States did not mind the free accommo dations afforded them "by railroads when they wished to travel, is said by some -people to have touched Tfce'feTHf tive nature of the president and1 deter mined him up this course. It is pretty well understood that President Roose velt paid his own expenses and those of his party upon his recent banting trip in the west, and' that he did not accept the hospitality of the railroads. Irrigation Inspection. June 1 the congressional irrigation committee" begins its junket through the west tovisit and inspect a number of the large irrigation projects now be ing carried on by the government' in western states ,' and territories. The party will leave Kansas City on the 1st and will make the first stop at El Paso, where a visit will be made to the En gle dam site n the RIa Grande. The party will take a slxty-mtle drive through the mountains of Arizona te examine the Roosevelt dam, which is now well under way. A careful study wilt be made of conditions en tbe Colo rado river, the visit extending into the famous Imperial valley, portions of which are several - hundred feet below sea leveL Stops win be made at River side, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Red ding sad Sacramento,-in California.

Compared with the previous year there Is a falling off of 6,159.43 short tons, valued at $53,080,853. These fig-r fires appear less depressing to-the con sumer when it is known that this fall ing off really exhibits a normal increase when compared with tbe annual pro- .s, a 7 ..... duction of theTenpreeeding yearsi The average price for. all coal mined and sold in 1904 : was - $1.27, as compared with $L41! in 1903 and $1.22 in 902. '.Ours Drives Others Out of Market Richard Guenther, consul general of the United States to Frankfort Ger many, says the newspapers of : that country report a Crisis existing in tbe flouring mill Industries of ' Hungary, notwithstanding they are carefully fos tered by the government. The causes of the depression are decreased exports due to the lower prices at which Argen tina and Russian wheat are'selling in Austria.' and' to ' the fact that Ameri can flour has driven the Hungarian flour out of the British markets. Since the beginning of last .November nearly all the flour nulls in Hungary have worked only four days In the week, but as the stock, of flour shows no diminu tion, a' farther reduction in the - run ning of the mills must fake' place. . ,5 1 Housekeeping Schools. ; r Through the state department it Is learned that the question of establish ing traveling schools for farmers' daughters, which will teach the princi ples of scientific housekeeping, eooMug and farm work is being agitated in Alsace-Lorraine. Such schools are al ready in operation in Baden, Bavaria, Thuringen and Hesse, and are' giving great satisfaction. The " teachers ' arc all educated women, graduates of i the best schools of housework, and must have pas sea government, examinations. All expenses incident to conducting the schools are paid by the government, but' these are comparatively lights An outfit, for a school consists of a eoellng stove, serving utensils, ironing boards, irons,, table cloths; towels and eoeklng utensils. . Tables and chairs ; are bor rowed in. the various villages, and the classes are hela in the school houses. Twenty girls are allowed in a class, a term lasts six weeks, and no pupils un der 16 years of age are admitted. There are practical lessons in bousekeflping, cooking and the selection of food;' then lectures, on the analysis of food, the scientific care of cattle and poultry, the cultivation of vegetables and the making of butter Vnd , cheese. It is proposed later to include a minor course in nursing, cooking for the sick sew ing, mending, etc, Tbe tuition wfll be so low that no one will be excluded. The 'schools are , especially Intended to benefit remote . - farming - communities not easily accessible to permanent schools of such nature.

His salary, as is also fixed by law, is $1,350 per annum and is to be paid monthly and in the same manner as the other state officers are paid. Heretofore it' has been the duty of J tbe legislature to elect the state librar ian, but this act takes the matter out of the law-making body's, ha mil and places tbe officer and library under the sole direction of the justices of - the supreme court, who also have the' right to enact rules and regulations for the conduct of the library. . The salary pro vided the stste librarian snder the previous law- was $ I, ooo, hat tbe su- Sretne court paid him an annuity of 350 as deputy bailiff of tbe supreme court, so while bis salary appears to have been increased, it Is practically tbe same as formerly, . . ;. .

Attorney Oeneral Holds Act cf I Legislature Compels Officials to count for All Jtevenues NowL. Source of Support Severed. On ton of the effect of tbe refere i- dum petitions sgainst the general t propriation bill, which cuts' off t 1 financial support for the several s'..ta institutions included in its provisiuL,?, Comes an opinion from the attorney general, in which be holds tb'at all rev enues received by these educational in stitutions, snd particularly the Ac-'" cultural college; must be turned ti.t '. tbe state treasury at tbe end of ru "i month. This opinion is In conform?! with the provisions of Senate bill 'ui. 214, which directs that all revenue realized from tbe rents, uses or sale f stste property or stock' Inuring fr 1 state property must be accounted for to the state treasurer and the money turned over for the use and benefit it the state. The State Agricultural . college an l tbe experiment station has in its charge and keeping about 600 acres of land and a considerable amount cf livestock, the rents from the former and the -profits accruing from tbe sa!o of the products of tbe latter ssrcrcgn t ing in the neighborhood of $3000 per yeasr. Heretofore this money has been retsined by tbe institution and expend ed at the instance of the officers and board of regents without having to ac count to the state for it. When the act referred to was passed it cut all such revenue oft from the institutions and the appropriations of all, and par ticularly that for the support of the Ag ricultural college, were Increased to cover tbe amounts of which they wcra deprived under its provisions. Everything was satisfactory so Ion,; as the increased appropriation wss i i prospect, but since the latter has h(r cut off entirely the board of regent, through President J., K.

Jn bis opinion tipon X'. : question the attorney general ssys: Our suprme court has nevn.! times held that the Agricultural ft.: . lege was a municipal corporation. I t i that does not relieve it or its off i. from the duty ot accounting to V t state for theincome of state prujn ? ty under its control. There Is no qu tion but that tbe property held Ly f Ktate Agricultural college In its n name is really the property of the t .' and if the AgricuTtural co1.; should be discontinued by the b-i -lure, the property purchased with fi of the state, at least, woold revert ' and become the proerty of the ! subject to be disposed of ss tli 1 lature might direct. Therefore, I j of the opinion that the officers of t' Institution must account to the e' treasurer.'
