Canton, Ohio, July 12. The severe
storm of last night was succeeded to
r-h I
day by real "McKinley" weather
day dawned bright and cl$ar with a
crisp breeze and a warm suA dispelling
ail evidences of last night's severe
storm. At the McKinJey-esidence the
'effects of the1 storm were apparent in
the disarrangement of the flag decora
tions and the big luncheon tent, but
these were soon straightened up and
everything was in readiness for the
Ceremonies at the appointed time. Ttfe
second notification of William. Mcin"
ley that he had begn selected as the
nominee of the republican party for
president was made at the same place
as the first and all the accessories were
similar to tne occasion or tour vears
ago. Then the chairman of the com- ;
mittee was Senator John M. Thurston,
of Nebraska, who had been permanent
chairman of the convention. Today
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, -stood
upon the same porch, and, in the
presence of a vast multitude, officially
notified President McKtnlsey "that he
was the unanimous cheice of the re
publican national convention for pres
dent. The speech of Senator Lodge
and the response of President McKin
ley were intended to be more than for
mal,, and to a certain extent formed
the basis upon which the campaign is
to be fought this year. Their utter
ances were listened to with the closest
attention by the many prominent
Americans who were present. Chair
man Lodge and the members of the
notification committee, together with
Chairman Hanna and members of the
national committee, fyrived on a spe
cial train-from Cleveland at 11 a. m.
They were met at the station by the
citizens' committee in charge of the
arrangements, with a band of music
and escorted to the home of President
McKinley. Several flags had been
flung to the breeze in the early morn
ing and the streets through which the
procession moved had some indications
of a celebration. The various organ
izations and clubs as they arrived
marched to the president's home and
were grouped about the place within
seeing and hearing distance of the
ceremonies.
Some time before the arrival of the
notification committee President Mc
Kinley went into the yard and inspect
ed and approved, the arrangements. A
large space in the front yard was roped
off and filled with chairs for the noti
fication party and distinguished
guests. Tables were also provided for
the press. Outside the roped space
numerous photographic outfits were
set up and trained on the point where
the speaking was to take place.
Five minutes after 11 o'clock the
booming of guns announced the a.rriva.1
of the committee at the station. They
imrnjediately entered carriages and, with
the Canton escort, proceeded to the
president's houee. By the time they had
arrived a large crowd had collected and
they were received with cheers. Sena
tor Lodge and Senator Hanna were m
the lead of the party. Both entered- the
house and had a few momentss' chat
with the president and then returned to
the porch. A few moments later th
president, with Mrs. McKinley on his
arm, came upon the porch. Their ap
pearance was the signal for general
cheering. A number y distinguished
men occupied seats on the porch among

Representative Taylor . With Mrs. Mc
Kinley were Mrs. Barber," Mrs. Mary
Saxton, Mrs. Judge Day and Mrs.
Charles Dawes.
Senator Lodge immediately mounted
a small standing block and delivered
his speech.
The senator's remarks were frequent
ly interrupted with applause. .W'hen
Senator Lodge clased President McKin
ley mounted the stand and the vast con
course of people cheered heartily. It
was some moments .before the president
could proceed. He had a manuscript
in hie "hand, but referred to it only at
long intervals. When he mentioned
the "new peoples under our care" there
was a hearty burst of applause.
The audience appreciated the deft
turn which Mr. MeKlnley gave to im
perialism and cheered most heartily.
When the president closed there were
loud calls for Hanna, but Col. Grant,
chairman of the local committee, in
troduced Senator 'Fairbanks of Indi
ana, who, in a brief address, declared,
McKinley would be re-elected and
pledged the vote of Indiana for MC
Kinley. In response to renewed calls
for Hanna the senator appeared and
said the republican party of Ohio and
the United States expected every man
to do his duty and to do it earnestly.
Hanna caused a laugh when he said
the republican party at Philadelphia
had done its duty and "McKinley had
concluded to accept" and "the party
must do the rest;"
Mr. Hanna was followed by Charles
Emory Smith, postmaster general, who
said it was evident that this gathering
was entirely satisfied with their candi
date and their national chairman. He
went on to say that four year ago the
battle lines were drawn as they were
today. He spoke" sarcastically of the
Kansas City platform, charging it with
uein.g ami oi inconsistencies. iie con
cluded with a high tribute to President
McKinley.
Senator Lodge was recalled and paia
a glowing tribute to President McKin
ley, saying 'he resented unjust criti
cisms of the president -during a trying
time when he was doing his full duty.
He referred to feryan as the nominee of
"mixed tickets," and said there was no
possibility of Bryan forming a cabinet
and named the leader of the several
Conventions as material worn vv'ich 6e
lections would have to be made.
Col. Samuel Parker, of Hawaii, ex
plained now 'politics were run in the
Pacific islands. He said he was not a
speaker hw- a rancher or a cowboy: I
supposed one reason Roosevelt was 13
popular was because he was'a cowb
This was the first mention of Roose
velt's name and it created applause. He
said they had a democratic party in
Hawaii ;also an ice trust. They were
glad to be admitted as a state. He
had some colleagues who wanted to
come back here where senators were
elected. He said he had heard a great
deal about imperialism, but when he
came to Canton yeetej-day he was ad
mitted without waiting about. He was
a cabinet officer of the late Queen Lil
in Hawaii and one would have to wait
a week to see her. He was glad that
kind of imperialism was over in Ha
waii. This closed the speechmaking and
the notification party went to luncheon.
ROOSEVELT'S NOTIFICATION.
Oyster Bay, N. Y., July j.2. Governor
Roosevelt was today officially notified
of his nomination for the vice presi
dency at his county home, Sagamore,
near Oyster Bay. The notification com
mittee appointed by the republican con
vention at Philadelphia left New York
on a special train at 10:3' o'clock and
made a quick run to Oyster Bay wfiere
carriages were in waiting to convey
them to Sagamore. There were a num
ber of the members of the notification
committee not present. A number of in
vited guests accompanied the party,
most of them prominent New Yorkers.

specifically provides for the registra

RICHMOND PEARSON.
Mr. PearsofI was notified by tele
graph later in the day that Mr. Sim
mons was at Winston, and the above
despatch was sent to him there. As no
reply was received from the demo
cratic chairman attorneys were sent to
Swain and Jackson counties with in
structions to cause the arrest of the
registrars refusing to register Chero
kee Indian citizens. These registrars
claim to be acting under orders, and as
the above despatch indicates these or
ders do not come from the county elec
tion boards. It is therefore assumed
that they come from a still higher "au
thority." That this authority is no less
than Chairman Simmons himself the
following despatch would seem defi
nitely to indicate:
Dillsboro, N. C.,Vuly 12, 1900.
Hon. Richmond Pearson, Asheville,
N. C:
Ransal Hyatt, registrar at Qualla,
says he has registered no Indians, but
if state committee refuses tb stand by
him he will commence next Monday.
(Signed) R-.S. JARRETT.
This despatch also indicates that at
least one of these registrars does not
propose to pfay Cassabianca, and stick
by the burning ship when all but him
had fled, but if his "higher authority"
is not willing to bear its share of the
punishment he will defend his own
safety.
The penalty for violation of section
55:10 of the revised statutes is $1,000
fine and one year imprisonment, either
or both. The instigators of the of
fense are as guilty and as liable as the
offending registrars.

A BOER VICTORY.
Nitral's Nek Captured by the Burgh
ers Many British Made
Prisoners.
London, July 12. The war office ha
the following from' Roberts:
"Pretoria, July 12. The enemy,
having failed in an attempt to get
j around our right flank and in our rear
J made a determined attack on our right
garrison was overpowered. Two suns
and a greater portion of the Scots
Greys were captured and about ninety
of the Lincolnsnires. The casualties,
I fear, were heavy."
Roberts also reports several minor
engagements.
London, July 13. The defeat of the
British at Nitral's Nek is an unpleas
ant check to the recently growing op
timism , regarding the end of the war
in South Africa. Ooresrpondents have
been for days preaching the end, de
claring that the capture of Dewet and
Stoeyn was imminent. It was believed
that Botha and the Transvalers were
prepared to accept the inevitable as
soon as the Free" State's, cause col
lapsed. Botha's operations have, how
ever, evidently been developing over a
wide area, leading to the belief that he
perhaps is aiming to make goo his
threat to recapture Pretoria. At any
rate the Boer activity -premises to
make considerable trouble for Roberts
and their success at Nitral's Nek will
doubtless give heart to the fighting
burghers and lead them to prolong the
struggle.

A PRIVATE LETTER FROM PEKIN
JUNE 24 TELLS OP THE IMMI
NENT PERIL, THEN OF THE
- FOREIGN RESIDENTS. t
London, July 13. It is now appar
ently realized in Shanghai, as it cer
tainly is here, that no authentic news
has been received from Pekin since
June 24. Sensational papers here print
Shanghai gossip, but all of it is un
convincing and is frequently contra
dictory. The actual position at Tien
Tsin can't be ascertained. The need
of a single recognized directing hand
has not apparently been met. There is
no suggestion of international jealous
ies or disagreements, but each com
mander has followed his own methods,
and daily conferences, though har
monious, have not resulted in any con
certed line of action.
ALL. HOPELESS.
orK. July 12. A despatch from
Shanghai says: A private letter from
Pekin dated June 24, and received at
Tien Tsin June 30, says:
"We are in danger of death. Thirty
thousand troops are atacking. Only
three days' food is left. No news comes
of troops. If no Teiifef comes, all seems
hopeless. Mallien'4 store has been
burnt and the Hotel de Pekin bom
barded. The Italian, Dutch, American
and part of the British legations have
been burnt."
This confirms Sir Robert Hart's de
spairing message of the same date.
OMINOUS SILENCE.
Paris, July 12. The Temps today an
nounces that it is in a postion to con
firm, contrary to statements from va
rious sources, that no European tele
gram has been received from Pekin
since that of Sir Robert Hart (inspec
tor of Chinese customs), despatched
Sunday, June 24, declaring the situa
tion was desperate. Continuing the
Temps says: "The subsequent silence
is sinister. If it is true the legationn
are safe they could communicate with
Europe. If they cannot it is because the
Chinese have juggled dates and the
massacre has taken place as an
nounced on June 30 or July 1."
GREAT JAPANESE ARMY.
Yokohama, July 12. Though no de
cision has yet been announced, it is
certain that Japan will . send nearly
50,000 troops to China. The press
agrees that the despatch of so large a
force is a duty in the interest of hu
manity, but asserts that a large meas
ure of responsibility for the troubles
rests upon Russia and Germany, be
cause of their arbitrary action in
China.

Washington, July 12. A belated ca
blegram was received at the navy de

signature, but Secretary Long be
lieves that it came from Rear Admiral
Kempff. The facts set out in the ca
blegram appear to have already been
described in a little different form in
previous advices from Shanghai. The
text of the message is as follows:
