PHILADELPHIA, Juno 17. A party of
distinguished republican leaders wcro nt
dinner with Mr, Clement Orlscom tonight at
his country place near the city. Tho party
Included Senators Hanna, Allison, Lodge,
Fairbanks, Depow aud Kean, Secretary
Root, Postmaster General Smith, Congress
man Grosvenor, Wnyno MacVcagh, A. J.
Cassatt, president of tho Pennsylvania rail
road; Prof. Butler of Columbia university
and others. The dinner was given especially
for tho purposo of permitting an exchange
of vlows on tho platform to bo adopted by
tho national convention, but It Is understood
that tho day's developments In the Interest
of Governor Roosevelt for tho vlco presi
dency turned tho conversation largely on
that subject.
The party broko up without any absoluto
decision ns to what would be done, tho gen
eral conclusion being to await developments.
Considerable feeling was manifested over
tho manner In which Governor Roosevelt's
candidacy was being forced after prominent
men had been tndu'cod to enter tho raco
upon tho dl3tlnct understanding that ho
would, under no circumstances, allow tho
use of his name. Tho managers have nil
along announced that If New York presented
an acceptable candidate thoy would acqui
esce, but his eluventh-hour candidacy nat
urally leaves a good many soro spots.
Whether It will eventuate In a contest tho
events of tomorrow will dUcloso.

PHILADELPHIA, Juno 17. Tho atten
tlon, both of delegates nnd other visiting
politician?, tonight Is centered upon tho
movement In tho Interest of Governor
Itoosevelt an a vlco presidential caudldato.
Tho Pennsylvania delegation met early In
the day and It was soon announced that tho
stato delegation had taken a positive posi
tion for the governor for tho second placo
on tho ticket.
The announcement was scon followed by
the statement, which waa ma do upon excel,
lent authority, that Colonel Quay and Sena
tor Piatt and others In sympathy with them
had held a conference mat night and had dc
elded upon a plan of campaign, which waa
Intended to bring Koosevolt to the front aa
a candidato, stampede- the convention for
him and force his acceptance of tho nomlna
tlon.
Among others who were taken Into tho
confidence ot Quay and Plntt waa National
Committeeman Saunders, who has been doing
zealous work In bringing over tho luter-
mountalu states to tho tmpport of Iloose
volt'e candidacy. Senator Penrose ot I'enn
sylvaula and Senator Wolcott of Colorado
aro both In the movement and the managers
are claiming the votes not only of tho Now
York and Pennsylvania delegates, but of
California, Kansaa, Nebraska, Colorado, In
dlana and Illinois, as well ns of many others.
All this, of course, la upon tho supposition
that favorito sons will bo eliminated from
the fight.
Colonel luny' 1'iiNltlon.
Colonol Quay announced himself as for
Itoosevelt becauso of his confidence that tho
governor's nomination would assure the suc
cess ot tho republican ticket in November,
but thoro are those and they nro not tho
enemies of the colonel who announced tho
belief that his position la the result ot an
tagontsm on his part to Senator Hanna,
chairman of tho national committee. It was
also asserted that Quay still remembered
tho fact tho tho Ohio senator had cast his
Influence against him in his recent effort to
securo his old seat in tho sonata by guber
notorial appointment. Mr. Quay did not ad
lnlt tho truth of theso statements, saying
thoro wero broader reasons for nominating
Itoosevelt.
It was alao asserted by thoso In position
to know that Roosevelt's acceptance in case
of his nomination was assured, but this was
not put upon stronger ground than that Sen
ator Piatt had given his assurance. There
can bo no doubt, however, regardless of
Roosevelt's own posltlou, that ho Is to bo
tho Piatt-Quay candidate and they feel safe
In the confidence that ho will not decllno
tho ofllco If it is forced upon him.
Tho developmont of tho movement in
Roosevelt's behalf had tho effect of bringing
former Secretary BlUs conspicuously for
ward as the opposing candidate, and the fact
was announced lato in tho afternoon by
those very close to him that he would ac
copt If nominated. From tho first Senator
Hanna and his followers have advocated tho
nomination of either Bliss or Allison. Tho
latter has mado his own declination abso
lutely unequivocal, thus forcing Bliss to tho
front despite his own disinclination to ac
cept the position. Ho repeated today his
deslro to bo relieved of tho responsibility,
but his friends left him with the knowledge
mat If the nomination should be tendered It
would not be declined.
Illlaa Makra Statement.
"I don't want to say that I will not accept
before tho tender is made, for that would be
prematuro," he Bald, "but I do say, for tho
Hundredth time, that I hope tho right man
will bo found for the placo and that I will
not bo aakod to servo. On tho other' hand,"
he added, "after no little entreaty, "I will
not say that If nominated I would decllno.
I know of no American who has ever de
clined ao high an ofllco and I shall not say
that I would do so."
Upon thla assurance Mr. Bliss friends
went forth with renewed courage. They
accopted this declaration as a posltlvo will
ingness to enter the contest and they lost no
tlmo in letting the fact bo known.
The Pennsylvania delegation will meet to
morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, when it Is
understood a resolution will bo adopted do
olaring in favor of Roosovelt. It is stated
that at least llfty-elght of tho aixty-four
delegates from this atato will be for Rooso
velt. Colonel Quay this afternoon gave an Inter
view to tho Associated Press, In which ho
said: "I do not know what Pennsylvania
will do, as all of tho delegates have not yet
arrived hero. I havo looked over tho situa
tion and find there Is nothing else In view
oxcept tho election of McKlnley. I Intend
to vote for Governor Roosevelt for vice
president. Tho election or defeat of Mc
Klnley is a question of $500,000,000 to Penn
sylvania and I will cast my vote on tho
vice presidency in tho Interest of my state
to strengthen McKlnley. I know nothing
at all about what Is going to happen In tho
convention. This is merely my individual
viow."
In connection with tho movement among
tho Pcnnsylvanlans to further tho nomina
tion of Roosevelt, Attorney Genoral John
P. Elkin, the leader of tho Quay forces In
tho state, said:
"A candidato for tho vlco presidency should
bo nominated who will strengthen tho
ticket. Tho strongest candidate with the
American peoplo today Is Theodoro Itoose
velt. Ho Is the best vote-getter by far of
all tho gentlemen named for second place.
"Roosevelt Is the Idol of tho young re
publicans of the whole country, and as gov
ernor oi wow York he has demonstrated
that ho peeresses a high order of executive
ability. Ho Is ablo, progressive, patriotic
and conservative. The republicans of Penn
sylvania aro a unit In favor of his nomi
nation. Our delegation will vote for him
and I havo no doubt that he will bo nomi
nated. Colonel Roosevelt is too good a re
publican not to accopt tho nomination If his
party demands It. With McKlnley and
Roosovelt as our standard bearers wo will
sweep tho country In November."
AllUun for llolllvrr.
Senator Allison arrived about noon and
took quarters at tho Aldlne hotel. He was
closotcd during the greater part of the day
wun prominent members of tho nartv and
lato In the afternoon attended a dinner
given by Clement Grlscora at his country
place. Tho senator announced before leav
ing for Mr. Grlscom's placo that he waa
earnestly supporting the candidacy of Mr.
Dolllver and that bo hoped to see hlra nomi
nated for tho vlco presidency,
Mr. Dolllver's friends aro still enthusiastic
over his chances and they claim that noth
ing but an agreement upon some available
man by tho members of tho New York dele
gation can prevent his nomination.
In the event that the New Yorkers agree
upon some available candidate the Iowa man
will not press Dolllver's nomination. They
say New York should have the first call upon
the nomination It it can decide upon a
man. If It doea not agree upon this point
and the Iowa pospla do not rate Woodruff
as an avallablo man, they will push for
the nomination of Dolllver against any and
all candidate. They are confident that Dol
llver will bo able to beat Woodruff before
tho convention and will bo a stronger can
dlduto ibeforo the peoplo at large.
It is claimed by the Iowa people that they
PAIIY" BETth -MONDAY,

tho western states and that tho middle weat
are wl'h him to a man. They claim that
nothing will hold off Dolllver If Now York

ll.min1 fi)?I,nl.K.
Tho Mnssnchueett-df legation perfected Us
organization today and. also took steps to
got Into direct telephonic communication
with Secretary Long to ascertain his wishes
concerning the vlco presidential situation.
This last movo was regarded as rather sig
nificant. Tho delegation la to a man
strongly favorable fb 'the secretary and it
was believed that cooperation could bo se
cured with the delegations of Maine, Now
Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut and Rhode
Island so as to securo practically a solid
voto of the seventy-eight New England dele
gates. So many candidates and pcsalbllltlcs
wero In the air, however, that a committee
consisting ot Mersrs. Shaw, Murray nnd
Rockwell was chosen to ascertain Mr. Long's
wishes as to the presentation of his name
It was supposed ho was at Washington and
could be reached by long distance telephone,
but later It developed that ho was at his
summer homo at lllugharu, Mass., where It
was hoped to communicate with him later.
The delegation was also divided up into
committees, which started on canvasses in
behalf of tho Long candidacy.
Tho West Virginians are fully determined
to present ono of their senators as a vlco
presidential candidate. Senator Scott first
proposed a boom for his colleague, Mr. El-
klns, but today a strong Scott sentiment bo
gan to manifest Itself nt tho West Virginia
headquarters. Tho delegation nt least wants
to placo ono of them In nomination nnd com
pllment him with tho state's voto. After
that there Is no deflnlto cholco thus far, al
though tho tendencies nro toward Roosevelt
or some other eastern candidate.
Tho Michigan delegation arrived at tho
H niton and opened headquarters this even
Ing. D. M. Ferry of Detroit, who is a can
dldnto for tho nomination for governor of
Michigan, was with the party and said that
tho delegation had not decided who to sup
port for tho vlco presidency. Thoro was.
however, a strong sentiment among the
Michigan men for Dolllver.
Xclii-iiNlia for Fnlrliniikn.
Tho Nebraska sentiment has developed
qulto strongly In favor of Senator Fair
banks' vlco presidential candidacy, and Bitch
influential members ot tho delegation as
Senator Thurston and Editor Rosewatcr re
gard tho Indiana man as particularly strong
ror tho place. In this connection a move
ment is on foot to securo co-operation bO'
tween a number of western states. Including
Nebraska, und n meeting may bo held toinor
row to discuss tho advisability of united
action. Mr. Fairbanks has received the
overtures from Nebraska and other quar
tors with expressions ot earnest anDrecIa
tlon, but has said that ho did not wish to bo
regarded as an active candidate. This has
prevented any systematic canvass in his bo
half, although his frlend3 nro working on
tho theory that In the present stnto of un
certainty on tho vice presidency It may bo
deemed best to turn to a doubtful state for
a candidate, In which 'case they feel Mr
Fairbanks would not resist their efforts.
Tho California headquarters at tho Colon
nade aro qulto unlquo, showing less of bunt
ing than of hugo boxes, baskets nnd crates
of tho many varieties of fruit which that
stato produces. Visitors' wero mado welcome
and tho headquarters becarao a rendezvous
for large crowds. The delegation held sev
eral meetings during tba day, feeling Its way
on tho vlco presidential question. Although
no formal action was taken at the early
meetings, members of the delegation said It
was unlikely that Irving M. Scott or any
other Pacific coast candidato would bo
pressed for tho vlco presidency.
Around tho Oregon and Washington head
quarters It is said 'they 'will both stand for
Bartlett Tripp untlV a nomination is made.
His namo will be prosonted" by Genoral
James M. Ashton of Washington and the sec
onding speech will ho nfcde by Wallace Mc
Caramant of Oregon. Besides tho sixteen
votes of theso two states thero aro claimed
for him: Utah, 6; North Dakota, 0; South
Dakota, 8, and Alaska, 4.
Jamea Boyd, dclcgato-at-large and member
of the national commltteo of North Caro
lina, said tonight that tho delegation from
his state is a unit for Senator Prltchard for
vice president.
"Senator Prltchard Is our candidate,"
said Mr. Boyd, "and tho delegates have been
Instructed for him. Wo might succeed in
nominating him. It Is time tho south was
represented on tho presidential ticket."
Former Governor Warmouth of tho Louis
iana delegation was asked tonight how tho
delegation would Btnnd on tho vice presi
dential quesiton. "If Governor Roosevelt Is
a candidato," ho replied, "I feel confident
that ho will get tho voto of the Louisiana
delegation."
Tho Texas delegation is Inclined to bo for
Secretary Long, but will not nnnounco its
position until tho Texas contest is docldod
by tho committee on credentials. Tho dele
gation will tako any man tho administration
may want.
National Committeeman Payno of Wiscon
sin expressed the opinion that Wisconsin
would support Mr. Roosevelt. "For that mat
ter," ho said, "I think tho whole country
will be found to bo for him."
Committeeman Fcesenden expressed con
fidence that Connecticut would accept tho
nomination of Roosevelt joyously.
I no movement la apparently becoming
invincible," he said. "Governor Roosevelt
would be all right In tho east and I think
he will sweep tho west llko wlldflro In a
prairie."
"Now Mexico is for any man acceptable
to tho administration," said Governor Otero
tonight, speaking for tho Now Mexico dele
tion.
.Vimv Yorker Enjoy It.
Whllo interest is focussed on Now York,
tho delegation from that stato looks on with
complacency, the members apparently en
joying tho commotion. The situation In Now
York may be described in a paragraph:
Tho mass of the delegates are for tho
nomination of Theodore Roosevelt for vlco
president; Sonator Piatt Is plodged to Gov
ernor Roosovelt to be against his nomi
nation and will not break the pledgo unless
tho govornor glvea'lflb consent. This much
Is known. If tho 'cdnv'ontlon uamca Gov
ornor Roosovelt for tho Vlco presidency he
will not decline. Hd'haa said ho would not
accopt If nominated,' but Ut is known on tho
best of authority tHatlho will not docllno.
Nevorthless, his determination to protest
against tho nomination until the last min
ute 1b unchanged, "Whllo bo admitted to
night that the situation looked aa If he
would be forced Into' a' nomination, ho was
hoping that such wouldrnot bo the caao and
was using ovory effort 'to change tho uentl
niont. He said to the' Associated Press:
"My place Is at tub head of tho ticket In
Now York stato. l"'i$ that Mr. Hanna is
right nnd that I cajijdq moro to help Mr.
McKlnley by runrijijtj in, New York stato
than I can by being pn the national ticket."
Lieutenant Governor Woodruff and his
campaign manager, Wlllam Uerrl, both bb
sorted tonight that tho boom for Roosovelt
waa helping their cause: "If Now York and
Hanna stand firm against tho Roosovelt
boom It will bo exploded and Mr. Woodruff
will got tho nomination," said Mr. Herri.
Tho logic1 ot this reasoning Is not qulto
apparent, but a significant remark dropped
by a lloutennnt of Mr. Woodruft'a put the
matter In a new light.
"Mr. Woodruff," be said, "does not care If
Governor Rooievelt beats him. In fact, ho
has assured tho govornor that if ho changes
his mind and cares to stand for tho nomi
nation be (Woodruff) will withdraw."
Thero were several rumors tonight that
Roosevelt had at last agreed to stand for
tho nomination. These rjimors probably
arose from the fact that he had said that If
his nomination were Anally forced ho could
decline it, but ho said emphatically tonight
that he would not allow Mr. Piatt to pre-
.TVNVj 18, 1000.

nomination to tho last minute.
PLATFURM FOR REPUBLICANS

Doeuinciit that It In Ilrlleveil
M ill lie SuniMirtiMl.
PHILADELPHIA, June 17. For tho first
i tlmo slnco the republican leaders began to
lasscmbto In Philadelphia thero has today
been somo earnest work upon the platform
and a draft has been made, which, It Is bo
liovcd, will rccclvo tho approval of tho con
vention. This document was prepared In
part beforo coming to Philadelphia by Post-
J master General Smith and it is understood
I that It was submitted to tho president for
ma inspection nnu npprovni oerore .Mr. smith
left Washington. Mr. Smith wns In consul
tation during tho greater part of the after
noon with Senator Foraker, who, It Is under
stood, will be chalrmau of tho committee
on resolutions. The senator has himself
given considerable attention to tho prepara
tion of tho declaration of principles and ho
added considerably to Mr. Smith's draft.
Tho Instrument as so far prepared Is of
conslderublo length, but very clear-cut nnd
emphatic in Its enunciations. It 'begins by
calling attention to tho promises that wcro
mado In tho St. Louis convention of 189G
and nftw enumerating them, declares that
fnlth has been kept In almost ovcry in
stance, as is shown by tho statutes which
tho lost congress added to tho laws of tho
country. Especial attention is called to tho
.fact that tho platform of 189G promised that
tho country should bo put upon tho gold
standard and that this pledge has been
faithfully maintained. Thero is a clear and
distinct declaration for the maintenance ot
this standard nnd the resolutions ns so far
prepared make no reference to bimetallism.
Tho resolutions also contain tho usual
declaration for a prstectlvc tariff.
The president's policy In reference to tho
Philippines Is endorsed throughout and his
conduct of tho war with Spain Is uphold In
tho strongest terms of commendation and
praise. Tho president's courso on the Boor
British entanglement is also endorsed nnd
attention Is called to tho fact that under
his guidance tho United States has been
tho only nation to offer Intervention be
tween tho warring nations. The president
also comes In for pralso because of hlo attl
tudo in Tho Haguo peaco conference nnd
tho administration 1b especially commended
for its pcsltlon and Its accomplishment In
tho matter of an open door In China. Thero
Is no reference to tho present critical con
dition In China. Tho shipping subsidy bill
Is endorsed.
Tho legislation toward which attention
Is especially directed as having been accom
plished In connection with tho party pledges
In nddltlon to that concerning the finances
includes tho Dlngley tariff law, tho annexa
tion ot Hawaii and tho liberation of Cuba
from Spanish domination, Tho country Is
also felicitated upon tho acquisition of
Porto Rico.
Tho plank on tho Philippines Is practically
in tho language of tho president's message,
promising tho restoration of order and tho
granting of local self-government so soon as
the Philippines show that they aro prepared
for it.
On the question of trusts the platform
recognizes tho right of capital to comblno
for Industrial purposes, tout condemns all
conspiracies In restraint of trade and tho
limitation of prices.
There will bo a declaration for an isth
mian canal rather than for n canal via tho
Nicaragua route specifically, ponding tho
report of tho commission appointed to In
vestigate. A demand will bo mado to redeem tho
promise to establish order In Cuba as
speedily a: practicable and a demand will
ho made for tho condign punhhment of
crimes committed by American officials In
Cuba.
Legislation for tho restoration of the mer
chant marlno will bo Indorsed. Thoro Is
a proposition to at least express tho hope
with reference to China that that emplro
shall not be dismembered. A demand will
be made for the protection of American
missionaries and other Americans In China
H. H. Hanna, who Is credited with the
authorship of tho gold standnrd bill, was
In conference with Moxsra. Smith and For
aker for some time today, with reference to
tho financial plank of the platform. He
Is especially anxious that this plank should
bo unequivocal In Its language and that no
concession should be made to tho silver
Interest. The representatives from the
western Btates are antagonizing him some
what on this subject, but Mr. Hanna ex
presses confidence that no concession will
bo mado.

opposition. The figures conceded by both
sides glvo Clark 261 delegates and Daly 217,
with Granite county's thirteen In doubt.
Sllvor Bow county will havo a contest, tho
122 delegates from that county being Daly
itcs and tho Clark contestants will chargo
fraud and coercion, If tho Clark men nro

will havo an overwhelming majority. Thero

GERMAN MINISTER IS ALIVE
Hrnort of IIIn Murilor Axerllietl to the
Cliliu-Ho Sutierliitemlcnt
of 'IVIi-Krni'li.
LONDON, Juno 18. 3 a. m. Thoro la not
n cabinet In Europe, apparently, that knows
what has been transpiring In Pekln for flvo
days, or In Tien Tsln for thrco dnys. Nor
Is thoro nny that knows with what dlfll
cultles tho smnll and Inadequately equipped
International column is contending between
thoso cities. Tho German foreign ofllco, on
learning tho report of tho murder of Baron
von Kcttellor, tho minister nt Pekln, sent
n tclegrnphlc Inquiry to St. Petersburg, tho
seat ot tho Russian government,
becauso of its wires to Mun
churia being supposedly In a bettor
position that tho other governments to glvo
direct news. In reply tho Gcrmun foreign
ofllco wns Informed that nothing wns known
on tho subject ns communication with Pekln
was Interrupted. Tho report spread world
whto from Shanghai that tho legations had
been attacked and ono minister, probably tho
German, had been murdered, baa been
traced to Ta To Sheng, who for a number
of dnys, as tho empregs dowager's repre
sentative, has boon censoring telegrams
from Pekln.
Tho Dally Express says: "Sheng, ns
head of tho telegraph, pretended thnt tho
line had been down since June ! and thnt
tho wires from Tien Tsln were cut on
June 15. Nevertheless It Is notorious that
constant communications havo been parsing
from Shanghai to Pekln over tho northern
and western routes, although Sheng has
refused both ministers and consuls tho
privilege of using the lines.' It Is 'known
thnt last Friday Sheng received a nusjago
either from Pekln or Tien Tsln. This said
that General Tin Fung Slang's troops, aided
by Boxers, mndo nn organized attack en
the legations nnd that In tho courro of tho
attack somo of tho legations wero reduced
to ruins nnd ono minister hacked to pieces."
it nas not been explained why the mur
dered man was said to bo Baron von Ket-
teller.
A dispatch from Shanghai, Juno 15, says:
Sheng has fled, fearing that tho forclga
authorities were about to arrest him be
causo of his stoppage of telegrams.
A third cablegram asserts that tho re
ports of the murder of the German minister
emanating from London are qulto uncon
firmed and nro discredited ot Shanghai.
