"We commend the part taken by our government in the peace conference at The Hasue.

AnAUXlKht Session The Vice Presides Man Situation. Philadelphia, June 20. The com mittee on credentials after an all night session adjourned at b o clock, having completed all its business. All con tests from the southern states were disposed of. In each case the decision was in favor of the delegates already seated. The vice presidential situation still continues to be the absorbing topic with all attending upon the conven tion. lbe action of the Aew lork caucus in unanimously agreeing to support woodruff was net accepted as perma nently retiring Koosevelt from the field. The Missouri delegation, which yesterday declared for Roosevelt, an nouueed that they had withdrawn their support and would be for Dolli ver. At a meeting of the Wisconsin delegation a resolution was adopted pledging the delegation to vote for Roosevelt. Tripp Withdraws. Bartlett Tripp todav annouocsd that he had withdrawn from the race, with the request that his supporters vote for Roosevelt. At the caucus of the Minnesota delegation it was de cided to present the name of Former Senator Washburn as Minnesota's choice. In a conference with Lodge, Spooner and Udell this morning, Hanna is re ported to have said: "We do not want to lose sight of the fact that this Roosevelt sentiment is much greater than the combination of (juay and Piatt for it. The west and south are likely to force it. aud I don't feci that their wishes should be combatted too fiercely." KOOSKYELT AGAIN I'l.KADS. 11 U Uelegallon Concludes to Let llliu Off and Indorte Woodruff. Philadelphia, June 20. The New York delegation was called to order last night by Ohamu-ey M. Pepew, the eiinimian. Slxt3- delegates were pre sent of the seventy-two. Governor Roosevelt arrived promptly. Chairman Iepew said the meeting was called for the purpose of deciding whether ine New York state delegation should aet uImu a nomination for viee president. Governor Koosevelt had made a state ment of bitt isiiRu. but that state ment had not stopped the sentiment in. his favor. He moved that Lieutenant Governor Woodruff le allowed the ptiv. iiejrei of the floor for t he purpose of uiakiug a statement and ibis was or dered. Woodruff said in brief that If New York wanted any one else he would pet off the- track, but if New York did uot indorse some other mau he asked their indorsement. Governor Koosevelt saJd that it wa due to VoMiriitI that "I should sey one word a to my osItioii. It is simply to ask you to take the words I have uttered at their fae value. If yon iloxi't think I rueau them you don't be lieve in ue for viee president or any thing eUe. but if you think 1 meau them, then I ask you to stand with me. After a long consultation with many men not a few or whom are present here tonight I definitely took the po- iiion that I did not wish to I nom inated for vice president: that if the l:epiibl-an party choe to renominate me for governor I should be pleased to a--eep- I took that position not in the least from resard to my own personal ivedilectlons. but in the belief that there I c-ould do the best t-ervk-e the bst work because I have never Mz that I bad a riebt to sav that if nom inated I should refuse. Certain men have seemed to doubt me a to what I meant to say. Now. gentlemen, I want i tc repeat to you the last sea t en ee. word I for word, of the statement I made yesterday." The governor then eald ' with c-mpbssis: - I earnestly ask that '. every friend of mine in the convention I wdl respect my wishes .and mv .1ud?. meui in tne matter "Ami I ass it now of you. my fellow delegates: of you. my friends, who t-auuot ue auv more jealous thau I am of the good name of the ixarty and of the party's success in New York state." 1 Applause. Then there was a discussion, each meinter giving his views. All agreed that New lork should have the vice presidential candidate: some were for raking Roosevelt at his word and oth ers ror insisting on his announcing that he would accept. At one point Roosevelt broke In: ' You held the state convention. You did uot lake anv ac tion about me. You did not indorse me for the vice presidency. The temporary chairman. Senator Klaberg. gave ex pression to the feeling of the nartv when he said that the governor would be renominated, a the people desired 1dm. In auy eveut gentlemen, when I have in all sincerity taken my position I ask you to show your belief in that sincerity: I ask you to respect my wishes and resject my Judgment. I nave snul this twice tonight: I can ay nothing more. I ask you to pav heed to what I have said." Edward Luuterbach. of New York, who has been one of the most ardent supporters of the Roosevelt vice presi dential boom, made an earnest plea for, Roosevelt to take the nomination, lie said: "I don't believe. Governor Roose velt, that -you will refuse the vice pres idency if it Is given to yon. Don't fear about New York this fall. It will go Republican and heavily so if Roosevelt Is on the national ticket. Lauterbach finished by saying after a passionate appeal to Koosevelt to taKe the nom ination. "I don't think we ought to se lect any candidate, but slmplv let the convention have their way and Govern or Roosevelt, not declining, will be nominated.' The end of the debate was ihat they. merely Indorsed Woodruff for vice president. Bryan Speaks to 4 .OOO Persuu. Minocqun. Wis.. June 20. William J.

BLO0MINGT0N tOSES $2,000,000. Half ire Tow it's Flnett Busineaa Block De stroyed. Including tits Costly Court House. Bloouiiugton, Ills., June 20. A wild conflagration swent over the business portion of Bloouiiugton Monday night and yesterday morning, leaving in its trail the charred and blackened ruins of inore than half of the city's linest business blocks, together with the court house and other public buildings. Con servative estimates by insurance agents place the loss m not less than $2.UOU.0iH. In the block northeast of the court house square the lire broke out at 12:30 o'clock, aud borne by a strong outhvet wind, cut a diagonal swath across the court house square into the blocks on the south and west. Both the north and eat sides of the court house are in ruins; two other blocks cornering on the square aud one-half of the block west of the square are destroyed. In the vicinity of the court hon$e the path of the lire is nearly two blocks wide and its area was conliued to that Itortiou of the town only through the most strenuous efforts of the Blooui iugton fire department, aided by re enforcements from Springfield and Pe oria. Dynamite proved a powerful ageucy in fighting the conflagration. and some line buildings were sacrificed to save the blocks to the southwest of t he court house. The court house stands a blackened shell, gutted from dome to basement, but the records were removed aud saved. The clock in the tower of the court house struek the hour of 4 before the roof fell. The court house cost $400,000 twen ty-live years ago. The principal busi ness Urnis whose places of buslnes were destroyed are: George Brand & Co.. furniture: Yhuout & Koehn, dry goods: Cooper A: .Tacknian. glassware; I'ixley & CO., clothing: B. Thompson V Sons, furniture: Model laundry Ihere it was that the fire started): B. S. Green Company. Z. T. Miller & Sons, hardware; R. C. Rogers, wall pa per; C. W. Klemm. dry goods-; J. H.

A score of other business linns were burned out. From the rapidity with which the i fire spread it was soon apparent that the Blooiningtou department was pow erless and messages were sent to the surrounding towns for aid. Responses were quick, but steam could run no race against the conflagration. Before the special trains carrying aid from Peoria could arrive the tire had en compassed the court house. In the block west of the square the western branch of the lire was checked by the combined efforts of the departments and with a liberal use of dynamite. Treasurer' Office Tnrned Over. Frankfort.
