COLONEL LAFAYETTE Y6UNG PLACES ROOSEVELT IN NOMIN ATION DBPEWl PRAISES HIS WORK IN CUBA REMARKABLE SCENES ON LAST DAY OP CON VENTION. Philadelphia, June 21. At 10:20 this morning the big1 band from Canton, Ohio, made its way into the convention hall and broke out with the pealing strains of the national anthem. The whole audience rose. Through the pit a squad of men were busy distributing great stands of red, white and blue pampas plumes, which later on were to cut a big feature in the demonstration. PRAYER BY ARCHBISHOP RYAN At 10:36 Chairman Lodge glanced at his watch, and then with three raps of the historic gavel stilled the tumult on th1 ffoor while the band ushered in the "session with the national anthem, the entire audience rising -as : the inspiring strains reverberated through the build ing. As the anthem closed the chair man announced the opening invo-a.Uon-.-by Archbishop JRyan. """Tlfeais- tingulshed prelate wore the superb purple robe -of his high station, falling to his. feet, and "showing the heavy chain and golden cross emblematic of his office. He paused until the assem blage had risen and bowed their heads, and then his strong, rich voice rolled out a prayer filled with a sentiment of the deep responsibility resting upon the party here assembled. READY FOR DiAT'S WORK. When the striking figure of the arch bishop at the finish of the prayer dis appeared in the throng on the stage the vast assemblage sank to its seats and the gavel fell to make quiet for the more practical work of the conven tion. Senator Lodge called attention to Louisiana being inadvertently omit ted, from the roll call for national com mitteemeii and that was corrected. Alabama! also ' named its selections, having failed, if o 4o so yesterday. QUAY RESOLUTION WITHDRAWN. The chair then laid the amendment to the rules, offered yesterday by Mr. Quay, as the unfinished business before the convention. Mr. Quay announced the withdrawal of the amendment pro posing a changes in rules 1 and 12 and referring to representation in national conventions. This was accepted by. the southern delegates as a concession to them- and-they arose en masse, cheer ing wildly "at the withdrawal of the proposition." Amidst a 'tumult of applause Senator Foraker went to the platform and be gan to speak, first thanking Alabama for its courtesy in yielding, but attrib uting the fact : to the overwhelming popularity of t'he' candidate. As Mr. Foraker continued he was repeatedly interrupted with cheers . His an nouncement that - the nomination of McKinley was equal- to an election in November brought vooif erous -cheer. This sentiment was received with cheers from the delegates, while Jhe gallery spectators ; shook" the building with their enthusiastic demonstration. Briefly Senator Foraker referred to the record or tne presiaenx in peace ana the American history. "In war and in peace," said he,, while the delegates and spectators echoed the refrain of the sentiment expressed, "he has been found equal t . ait extraordinary re quirements .

Hant than that written by the United States with him as chief. "-At the refey ence of the great leader of the parg the successes already achieved by hfct and the grave responsibilities now be? ing carried forward by him, the ap p la use was frequent and long.contiued. But it remained1 for his closing sen tence, for the first time mentioning William McKinley's name as the nom inee, to electrify the great multitude. Pandemonium broke, loose. Former,! tempests of enthusiasm palled beforrf tnis cyclone of sound and movement,: Everyone stood and waved and yelled.' State standards were wrenched froni their -places and borne aloft, with umi brellas, great plumes of red, white and blue, a perfect tempestuous sea of cot or. Senator Hanna sprang to the front of the stage, a flag in one hand and a plume in the other, and led in th tremendous demonstration. Now it had lasted five minutes. Not content with their frenzied hurrah on the floor the delegates marched hi solid ranks;, upon the platform with standards. plumes, banners and flags. After tfcel demonstration had continued seven minutes the Ohio delegation, where cen tered the waves of sound, moved up the. aisle, with all the other state del egations, bearing aloft their standards, formed in a grand procession about the hall. The demonstration lasted ten minutes. Indiana started the rush to the platform, 'Gov. Mount tearing upj the state standard and leading the delegation down the aisle. The plume demonstration was followed by a grand doxology in the singing of "John Brown's Body," the galleries joining in the chorus, while the delegations led the singing. ROOSEVECLT SECONDED IT. . During the speech of Senator Foraker Governor Roosevelt paid attention so strictly that there was an almost anxi ous look on his face. Once or twice, however, he got away from his intesity and applauded. When Foraker finish ed, Roosevelt rose with the rest, but, undoubtedly with the prospect of his own nomination on his mind, only Stood silent, not joining in the cheers, and both hands in his pocket. But when Senator Foraker came down "the aisle he grasped him by the hand and slaped him on the shoulder, smiling and laughing aloud. It was exactly fifteen minutes when order was restored and Mr. Dodge announced! "The chair ' recognizes Governor Roosevelt jf Of New York." . Again the magic of a name sent the multitude into convulsions of entluisi? asm. AU jeyesJwe 'turned toward Roosevelt.. -Her stepped out into the aisle and strode, up to the platform, looking neither to the right or left, and then turning, and surveying the sea of waving, cheering humanity. There he stood, his face grimly set without a smile. He made no ackowl edgements, no salutations to the plaud its, hut like a hero receiving his due, calmly awaited the subsidence of the tumult. At last he raised his hand and at his bidding the demonstration came to an end. He wore a black cutaway coat, dark striped trousers, a turndown collar and blue necktie. The dele gate's badge red, white and blue was the only bit of color he wore. As the governor faced about on the platform a man with a camera planted the in strument in front of him. As Mr. Roosevelt saw it he said sharply: "Take it away, take it away." The sergeant at arms rushed the man and his apparatus out of the aisle. Then Governor Roosevelt began his speech, speaking in a clear, full voice. His sentences were delivered in a manner that denoted a full study of each word. His argumentative style kept the au dience enrapport with him, for he was given the closest attention by the vast audience, in fact, very much more attention than any other speaker. ROOSEVELT'S ADDRESS. Governor Roosevelt in bis speech seconding the nomination of President McKinley alluded to him as "the presi dent under wh'ose administration this country has attained a higher pitch of prosperity' at home, and honor abroad than ever before in its history." He con trasted the calamity era under the last democratic administration with the present era of prosperity. Alluding. to 1896 he said: ."The success of our op ponents would have meant not only im mense aggravation of the actual physi cal distress, tout also a stain on the na tion's honor so deep that more than one generation would have to pass before it would be effectually wiped out." 1 "We have done so well," r said ;,Mr. Roosevelt, "that our opponents actually use -this very fact as an apoeal for turning us out. We have put the tariff on a fondation so secure; we have pass ed such wise laws, on finance, that they actually appeal to the patriotic. Tionest men who deserted them at the last election to help -them; now, because,, forsobth, we have done so well that no body need fear their capacity to undo our work! I am--not exaggerating. This is literally "the "argument now address ed to the gold democrats as a reason why they need; no longer stand-by the republican party. To all such who may be inclined to listen to these spe-i clous arguments,. I .would address an emphatic word of warning.

There is still a dis quieting absence of authentic news from" Pekin and also concerning Sey mour's force. Uneasiness is increased by Kempff's despatch to the American navy department. His reference to the sending of a relief party to Tien Tsin is interpreted in some quarters as mean ing that events have forced the hands of the allies, compelling -them to move without waiting for reinforcements considered necessary. WASHTNGTONVIEW. Washington, Jtme 21.- The official despatch rom Admiral' Kempff is in terpreted in official circles to mean that the Chinese government has committed a hostile act which is practically a dec laration of war against -the United States and other nations. Kempff's statement that the American consulte Is destroyed is taken to mean that the Chinese imperial artillery conducted the shelling as the boxers are supposed to be without big guns. MISSION- LOOTED. Shanghai, June 21. The British de stroyer Whit'ting, at Chefoo, reports that roothing has been heard from Sey mour's force for six days.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR. London, June 22. South African news is meagre and of small importance. Nothing hoc been received from. Rob erts.

It is said that Mr. B. H. Kirkpat- rick, democratic candidate for repre sentative, made a speech at. Allen's Creek a few nights ago, and was pa tiently listened to by eight faithful souls.
