COLfMBUS, Ohio, March 10.?The Grand Opera House could not hold half the people wanting admission this afternoon to the Itepubllcun state convention. The bands ehtortalnod the ctvwd In front of the building until tho convention nns called to order at 4 p. m.. snd that was all many of the visitors saw or heard of what Is called "the IMrKlnley convention." Among the Ohio congressmen and other prominent KepuoncAiw on the stage sat ex-Secretary of the Treasury Charlea Foster. Governor Iiunhnell occupied one of the boxes. The first demonstration was when Chairman Ick?s escorted senator-elect Foraker to the presiding officer's ehalr, and from that time on, one demonstration followed another on the mention of McKlnley's name or reference to hlin. After prayer by Rev. .T. O. Watt, Chairman J. M. Ickes reviewed the McKfnley campaigns In Ohio and the two i: nu uunmnsirut.*on and stated that at I he at.it? convention In Xnnesville Inet year the party entered Into a pledge >?? sacred as the Trinity. That pledge marked an Important epoch la the history of Ohio Republlcanlnm. It promised to make Bushr.ell trovornor. Foraker senator, and to u?e every honorabm means to make Mclvln!' y President. Two part* of th-* Trinity had been fulfilled and t>.?* Republican? of Ohio now oaaembled 11 ?*nter :d merely into the faithful execution of the third part?the uuanlnouf and unqualified support of McKUUty ft r the presidential nomination. Theae remarks caused such a detr.onatratlon that it was aome time before Mr Ickej? could Introduce Senatorefect ForaJcer as the t tfopor&ry chairman of the convention. When Mr .Foraker was Introduced, there was another boisterous acene. which was repeated often as he proceeded. He spoke na follows: Fomfcfr'i Spr*cli. ? " ?it..

Senator Teller Thlnkf the Hecretmry of Htatr Should Give 111m Warning?Senator* Do Not llrgarrithe Itlotaln Spain as Sufficient Importance to Take Notice Of* WASHINGTON, D. C.. March 10.? J The crowds which filled the nenate gnl- | leiien to-dny In anticipation of nn exnl11"" ftih'in riMinio wore not dlsap pointed. To-day two new phases of > tho subject made their appearance and | each nfforded a debate which aroused , senators and spectators to a high stage of Interest and excitement. _ Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, arose to a question of personal privilege and In | vigorous words rebuked the Spanish ! minister, Scnor Dupuy de Lome, for his recent criticisms of senators. Senator Teller added his opinion that a repetition of the minister's action should be followed by his dismissal. Senators (?ray and Hale adaed. that senatorial iirivJlntrcs and urerogatlvus should not l>e strained to clos^ the mouth of the SpaniNh minister. Mr. Lodge did not press for any definite action. The Incident was hardly closed when the subject came up In another form. Senator Hoar had asked that his resolution.postponlng the entire Cuban subject until April C go over until tomorrow. This aroused Mr. Sherman to an energetic and feeling protest. He declared thai Mr. Hoar's resolution was a reflection on the committee on foreign relations after weeks of discussion and overwhelming votes In both ouses. The two veuerable senators, Sherman and Hoar, enngaged In a vigorous colloquy. Mr. Morgan and other senators were drawn Into the discussion and for half an hour It raged, sometimes with deep earnestness, but more often with amusement caused by the white-haired participants. Mr. Sherman Anally withdrew his objection and Mr. Hoar's resolution went over until to-morrow, but not before Mr. Hour had made a brief but telllnff speech agftlnst what he termed the policy of Congress In foreign questions. The latter part of the day was given to a continuance of Mr. Turple's speech In opposition to the claim of Mr. Dupont. Proceeding* lit Dftntl. a? rnnn as the Journal had been read. Mr. Lodge (Rep.. JImi.) rose to a question of personal privilege. He said he h*<3 read on Sunday an Interview attributed to Senor Dupuy de I*ome of Spain. There wns nothing singular in this fact, .is the Spanish minister communicated largely through the newspapers. But in this case the minister called in quostion the accuracy of a statement made by him (Lodge). The senator sent to the desk and had read the minister's reference to Mr. Lodge's utterance calling in question the translation of a statement attributed to General YVeyler in which the latter declared that he ?would "exterminate" the Insurgents. Mr. Lodge commented on the exactness of the translation and said that a literal rendering of General Weyler's langunge would be that he would "clean out" the large insurgent bands and "exterminate" the small ones. Mr. Lodge said hs did not wonder at the extreme sensitiveness of the Spanish people, but he did not think this offered any excuse for the Spanish minister in adopting the courwe he had. He (Do Lome) had b*en referred to as a historian. but in truth he was the ??x parte representative of Spain, and what he had disclosed from time to time subtracted from the general sum of information on the Cuban question. It was >' MtnhlUKml thnf f)|# dfllmlM In the senate and houm* were purely domestic matters and It was not proper for a representative of a foreign eountry to communicate except through the mate department If an American minister In Europo discussed the political affairs there he would be sent homo. Mr. Lodge read from the letter of Daniel Webster when secretary of state protesting against a statement by the Austrian minister as to a domestic matter. The senator added a most emphatic protest against publio comment by any diplomatic representative on th* debates In Congress. The constitution protected senators for language used In debate. It was one of the safe-guards of free speech. Mr. Lodge said lie knew what any foreign K?vernijiH!)t would do with a minister takinir such a course. He knew what had been done tinder like circumstances. He knew what Daniel Webster would have done In such a case. Mr. firny l? Km*-. Mr. Gray (Dem., Del.) said the course of the United States should proceed according to the Judgment Of a self-respect lug nation, unmoved by the em ml om at Valencia or Madrid, and without l>clng turn-1 aside to dlr-cuss a 'question of translation between a senator and a minister. Mr. Gray m?kI he would be quick to rewnt an nttu^k on the privllcKes of n senator. Hut. In nil fairness, he thought It baldly worth while to stretch senntorial prerogatives and privilege in order to question a gentleman who had 110 power to reply In behalf of Spain, our feeling would bo better expressed If we do not take advantage of every criticism which differs from our views. niw.tiM ?..? some eoncesnlnn to the stress of the altuatlou. This tvns a most vital time for Spain. And for the Spanish minister. With this ttrcm of clrcumstancea we should not he overnlro In lunlfltlnt; on diplomatic proprletlea and In finding fault with the minister In view of what had been said In tho senate. Mr. Teller (Rep.. Col.) paid the ndr was unvarying against a communication hy a foreign minister except Ihti'iir.h lli?? state department. There should he no comment by a tori'lpn minister. Me should not l e heard at all. except In the regular channel*. Twice had foreign ministers heen went home for statements of less Importance tha i this. "Hut. considering the circumstances," added Mr. Teller, "had ] been In authority 1 would not have sent him home for this ofTensc, hut would huv?' had the secretary of state, in a most kindly way, suggest that a repetition of tho offenrie would lead to his going home." ftympntliy for Cub*. Mr. Teller then turned t the conditions In Spain, He did not think the outbreak of stud?nts should give offense, Th?i Spanish authorities wop doing all In their power to utop the ialk,, jasdtt trouble. Tnere was no piuuuu.n?..r ??? Hnaln would dissent In an offensive way to tho passage of the pending reaolutlona. Spain knew we had a right to recognlzo the UolllRerents. Spaln w?uld naturally show some feeling, but une would not go to war. There waa a ripple of applau-j ? men the vice president checked when Mr. Teller referred to hi# eympathy with th>> fiilmnK. ' I would be delighted," said ho, "to hear thut Havana had passed Into tho hands or tho Insurgents. I would be delighted to hear that the Insurgents had run tho Spanish soldiers- Into the nea." Hut, the senator added, while he had this sympathy, yet ho felt no Irritation over the student ebulitions In Spain. Jn conclusion Mr. Teller vigorously repeated that If the Spanish minister repeated this public utterance, ih* senator would favor giving him hla "walking papers." The American people would not tolerate any dictation or criticism from foreign representatives accredited here. In the Ifonar. I WASHINGTON', D.

WASHINGTON, March lO.-Senator ElUlr.s la in receipt of a number of communications commending his bill, lately introduced, to impose a discriminating duty of ten per cent upon importations not carried in American vessels. The principle it embodle* seems to appeal to patriotism and the longer It is studied the more It commends Itself. The senator will be well fortified when he calls up the measure and his speech in its favor will doubtless be an exhaustive one. He expects to meet **??? hifl L/iat Willi the bill will provoko a spirited flght. Representative Ruling presented today a bill for tho relief of t$. C. Loomp, providing: far an Increase of pension.

German SclrnllMi Sinking Rapid Pro* great?Wonderful Adrmucm in DJioor* WASHINGTON, March lO.-Consul General DeKay, at Berlin, has submitI ??! th? denartment an Interest ing report upon later developments of the X rays, accompanied by a pamphlet In which Prof. Roentgen, the discoverer, explains his researches. The consul general's report gives many facts that have been discovered by European experimenters In regard to the rays, which are unknown In this country. For Instance, he reports that they have been used to detect false pearls, after an exposure of 45 minutes, and an Austrian professor has discovered that they can also be used In detecting false diamonds. A Berliner has made a special photographic paper for the direct reception of the rays. In consequence It is unnecessary to make a negative, and bo the reverted imprenslon incident to the negative is obviated. However, It has been found that many pictures can be taken at once in this manner, by using a packet of the sensitized paper, since the rays penetrate all of the layers. Rector Bender, in Spies, has succeeding In pausing the rays through a braes counter, the resulting photograph showing the Inscription on one side and a bird In relief on the other. New methods of work have been brought to light. The length of exposure has been reduced from one hour to a few minutes. T>w? >? nvv "hm-ooa nt al?N*tricitV which have destroyed ho many Crookes tube? have been found to be unnecessary. Moreover, the tube Itself In not required. and an ordinary Incandescent lectrlc lamp suffices If a metal plate Is placed at a certain distance to It to serve as a centre for the cathode of X rays. Hut one of the most Important applications of the rays has been made surgical h\ By placing a subject to be examined before a screen faced with a mixture of barium, platinum and cyanum. and allowing the rays from a tube enclosed In a dark cloth to traverse the body, the Impression can be seen by the eye on the surface of the screen, which is rendered fluorescent where the rays fall uninterrupted upon It. ami th? surgeon Is consequently enabled to move the subject freely before the Hcreen and examine the Interior of the body for foreign substances or hurtful growths and distorted bones.
