(Special Tele gramsAt this writing in tHe early evening the flow of the nominating oratory has not ceased. The day has been indeed interesting, yet the moves toward actual choice of Stan dard bearers have been disappoint inly slow. , . It is clear that the proceedings are being guided and governed by a steer ing committee representing a com bination of the favorite son candi dates who are still depending on the joint conference committee or some word from the colonel to eliminate Hughes, and clear the way for the convention to unite on one of these favorite soils or an undisclosed dark horse. Less Chance for Roo.sevelt. 'The general-opinion seems more settled that the possibility of Roose velt's nomination has become less rather than greater by the day's events. The present program of this steering 'onimittce is to take two ballots and then to adjour till tomor row. It is very likely that the Hughes supporters feeling confident of the ultimate outcome, may not oppose this.

Speeches Meet Same Test. AH the nominating speeches today meet the test of this rule fully and while finished decamations hardly reached particularly high levels. The best were those of Governor Whit man, Dr. Butler, Governor Willis and Congressman Kendall. Senator Fall's presentation of Roosevelt was lucid and forceful, but in no sense superior to the average. With respect to the successive demonstratioujU .except only that following the naming of Hughes; in no way concealed their artifical and prearranged character, Any who has attended as many conventions as I have, becomes familiar with the work of the stage makers, scenery shifters and clacuuers.

Cummins for the nomination for the presidency: "Of all that is good Iowa affords ' . . t fr- tlie nest, l come 10 oner tu mc is publican party a candidate whose nomination iff June will be equivalent to election in November. "There are republicans enough in the United States for one dominant party, but there are not enough for two. We are determined to rescue a distressed countrv from internal dis tress apd international disgrace. .Four ' years ago' we aemonstratecj conclu sively that 'a house divided against itself caitnot stand.' That incalulable disasteccan now be royally repaired if republicans discontinue hostilities against other republicans and cory centrate against their ancient ad versary. Welcome to Progressives. "With charity for all and malice towards none we welcome the pro gressives at the Auditorium to unite with the republicans at the Coliseum for the overthrow of the comnuwi en emy. After our attachment to the country, I am sure that above every other consideration we all love the republican party. We are too vigor ous to be destroyed by an assault from without. Are we not too sensi ble to be disrupted by discord within J When we last relinquished posession of the government the material well being of the country challenged the admiration of the world. Behold what a metamorposis lias been pre cipitated almost ir. the twinkling of an eye. "A rhetorical executive who is an artist in empty pronounceamento, but an amateur in effective performance has advertised to the world fliat we are too proud to fight even in a just cause and has thereby incurred(for us the contempt of all s,ir-respecting na tions. A subservient congress has re fused to make us ready to resent the insults our weakness invites. In our domestic concerns the underlying ele ments of our former solvency have not dissolved, but thry have. not been conserved. What has happened to disturb our local tranquility? Noth ing but the incumbency of a demo cratic administration. Cummins the Man. "The question now recurring is, who, in the campaign on which we are now entering, can most certainly enlist the earnest co-operation of .all those who deeply believe that the principle to which I have advertised should be speedily crystallized into the law and practice of the land? "We offer you a stateman familiar with the past, acquainted with present, forearmed character, he is unexcelled in his equipment for presidential of fice. For more than a generation he has stood in the forefront of the bat tle for popular government; for the direct election of senators',' for a tax on incomes, for the regulation of rail roads, for the restraint of corpora tions for the repression of trusts, for the enlargement of the rights and privileges of the average man, and he was engrossed in the advocacy of these salutary reforms when men less fearless were reluctant to volunteer in the unpromising struggle. Gained by Own Worth." "Without systematic organization. without publicity bureaus, without i electioneering contrivances, his candi dacy has gradually advanced in the approbation of the country because he is acknowledged to be' fit and worthy and available.

Before offering the name of his can didate as the right man to head the party and the nation, Mr. Kendall re viewed the lifn and achievements of Senator Cummins. , MOOSE CHIEFS HOLDJOHORTS Progressive Convention Recesses Till later in Evening, With Delegates in Check. NO NOMINATION IS YET MADE Auditorium Hall, Chicago, June 9. The progressive convention at 6:30 p. ni. recessed until 8 p. ra. The an nouncement being made b James R. Garfield that he had information that it was "safe" to do so. The inclination of delegates : to chafe, at efforts to put off the nomi nation of Colonel Roosevelt which had amounted almost ' to revolt, seemed to have been subdued. The delegates followed without question all advices given. The delegates followed without question all advice given by their Are for Delay. The radicals knew they were in con trol and thats lowly they were ap proaching a point where their will would be done. It may be that a nomination will be made tonight, but the chances favor postponement of definite actipn till tomorrow, W! lien delegates .return to the hall from dinner, it is believed the repub lican convention program will have been shaped so the progressive can be known whether it is to be peace or war between the two political forces opposed to the democratic party. A fifteen-minute recess was taken, beginning at 5:11 p. m Hall Fills Fast. Auditorium, Chicago, June 9. At 3 o'clock, the hour for reconvening the progressive convention, the 'hall was filling rapidly , and the, prospects were the session would soon be re sumed. Despite the realization by the dele gates that important business con fronted it, when they assembled at 3 o'clock after the recess they were good-natured and enthusiastic. It was in sharp, contrast to the surface sentiment at other sessions. 1 Delegations fraternized, on the floor, while American flags were waved by men and women standing on orchestra chairs' and in boxes. The band and professional singers helped out when there was any show of restlessness.- There was little turbulence, the crowd was orderly and friendly and '' took Chairman Robins only a min 1 ite to obtain order when he rapped with his gavel at 3:15.

ROOT Americans in England Must Pay Additional Taxes oh Securities London, June 9. Americans dom iciled here' who ares ubject to the Income tax must sell to or deposit with the British government their American securities under penalty of an extra 2 shillings' tax. This in; formation is given to the Associated Press today by in officisl of 'he ! An.erican dollar securities committee The ruling Holds whether the securi ties are held here or in America. The tax of 2 shillings, added to the income tax, will apply to' Americans who have resided here long enough to become subject to the regular in come tax, the incidence of which will be followed except, that, no abate ment will be granted on American securities which appear on the gov ernment lists. If American securities are deposited with the government, only the usual, income tax, with the ordinary abatements, will be charged, but .the government prefers to pur chase the securities outright In th; event that American resi dents hrre deposit their American se curities held in the United States, the government wilt collect the interest and pay it to the owners in sterling.! a l: :a l.Al:..

It s not unlikely 'hat vhen this ruling becomes generally nown cherr will be an exodus of wealthy Americans living in England The American embassy and consulate have been besieged of late by Ameri can residents seeking information on this point, many of whom threaten to depart from the country unless the government makes an exception in their favor. A member of the dollar securities committee who discussed this mat ter tdday was very positive that all residents subject to the regular in come tax will be liable to a penalty ir. addition, unless they dispose of their American holdings. Residents who are now liable ro a tax on un earned income will be compelled to pay 5 shillings in the pound, while those to whom th'. super tax applies will pay still more unit ss they meet the government's demand. o banks, 2; Weeks, 3; Burton, 2; Hughes, 2; Root, 1.'
