(Applause.) On this account it is not necessary for me or any one else to speak for him here or elsewhere. He has already spoken for himself (applause) and to all the world. He has a record replete with brilliant achievements- (applause), a record that speaks his highest eulogy. It compre hends both peace and war, and consti tutes the' most striking illustration pos sible of triumpn and inspiring fidelity and success in the discharge of public duty. "Four yeans ago the American people confided To him their highest and most sacred trust. Behoid with what results. He found the industries of this country paralyzed and prostrated; he quickened them with a new life that has brought to the American people a prosperity un precedented in all their history. He found the labor of this country every where line: he has given it everywhere employment. He found it everywhere in despair: lie has made it everywhere prosperous and 'buoyant with hope. He found the nib.s and shops and factories and mines everywhere closed; they are now everywhere open. (Applause.) "And while we are here to deliberate they are sending their surplus products in commercial conquest to the very ends of the earth. Under his wise guidance our financial standard has been firmly admitted because he was without funds. He then concluded that he would start back towards home, and the city authorities sent him as far as this city. Sanitary Officer Frank sent him to within one hundred miles of his home. Senator Pritehard lias selected "Wil liam F. Hymns as cadet for West Point tender the recent increase provided by Congress, and he has been formally ap pointed.

Alter receiving the congratulations of those present the President carried the message to Mrs. McKinley. There Avere unusually feAV callers at the White House this morning, the gen eral public evidently being of the opinion that the President would prefer not to be disturbed. Mr. McKinley received frequent bulletins during the morning direct from the convention hall. Hardly had the news of the nomination been re ceived before congratulatory telegram began to pour in from all quarters, the larger coming from the Republican leaders at the convention. The news of Roosevelt's nomination reached the 1 'resident while he AAas at lunch. The President thought the nomi nation entirely agreeable and expressed his satisfaction to several callers. It is expected that he will send a telegram to Governor Roosevelt. Immediately after lunch the Presi dent returned to his office. He found Senator Cullom waiting for him.

" Canton is becoming a centre of inter est since advice's of air alarming char acter are being received from there. It is understo-nl that there is practically no defence for the foreigners in Canton. J A Hong Kong dispatch says that, owing jto the representations of the foreign ,con- suls at Canton that trouble was Ifkely to break out during his absence, Li jllmig Chang has cancelled his passage 'on a steamer to the north and consented jto remain in the city.

A dispatch to a uews agency from Yokohama under today's date says there I is a generally discredited rumor in cir culation Tiiat tlie foreign ministers at PekiH have been murdered and that Ad-, miral Seymour, the commander of the allied iraval force's, is dead. The dis patch also says it is proltable that the whole of the Hiroshima Chinese division, which Ls commanded by General Fuku k'.iima. will be afloat shortly. The Russian cruiser Rurik has arrived at Yokohama with the new Russian min ister to Pa pan on loard. She will leave for Taku today. The British tnedo lwnat destroyer Whiting has arrired at Cheefoo.

Twenty-five Americans with a Gatling gun have arrived there. In the foreign settlement the chapels have been burned and the mission sta tions of the American B ard of Foreign Missions (Congregational), of the Meth odist Episcopal Church, and of the Iondon Missionary Society are practi cally in the hands of the" Boxers.
