FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1900_NUMBER 24 M KINLEY NOTIFIED OF HIS NOMINATION Another Committee Invades the Rough Riders Home and Breaks the News to Roosevelt. PRESIDENT APPLAUDED When He Referred to Gold Standard and Tariff, HIS POSITION TOWARDS CHINA Mr. McKinley’s Appearance Indicated the Best of Health and His Voice Was Very Strong, Reaching Outside of Crowd Canton, O., July 12.—Under an azure sky, the sunlight glinting through the trees and with the banner of the Republic draped above him, William McKinley was today officially notified of his second nomination by the Republican party for the highest office in the civilized world. Grouped about him were leading men of his party, while surrounding his Canton home were the friends among whom he has lived for more than thirty years, togther with vast crowds from the surrounding towns of his native State. To the eloquent words of Senator Lodge the President responded in a ringing speech. There was enthusiasm enough and to spare, and to many of the pointed ut terances of both Senator Lodge and the President there was hearty and cordial approval shown. Important features of the speech of noti fication by Senator Lodge and the response by President McKinley were the references to the Chinese situation. This caused a great deal of discussion during the con ferences following the formal speech-mak ing, and the impression created was that thees utterances were a notification to the world that the United States intended to preserve all its rights in China. The impressive portions of the President s speech gathered from the applause both from the audience and the Republican lead ers, were his references to the maintenance of the gold standard and the financial pub lic faith, the preservation of a protective tariff, the enlargement of our markets and the specially catchy phrase, “prosperity at home and prestige abroad.” iurm yuesiion When he asked, shall we go back to the tariff of four years ago, there were shouts of “no, no,” from every part of the audi ence. Another prolonged cheer brought out was his reference to our authority in the Philippines. Everybody followed the speech with the keenest interest, and there was a most impressive shout when he de clared that there should be continued legis lative control over the territory acquired by the United States, and another out burst when he said such authority would be coupled with liberty and humanity.” His declaration that the United States had reclaimed “ten million human beings from imperialism” was a decided hit, and there were many requests for him to repeat the sentence. This turn of the word used so much by the opposition was one of the features of the speech. The President seemed at his best. He was in good voice and in good spirits. His appearance in dicated the best of health and his voice rang out in clarion tones, reaching the outskirts of the vast throng which sur rounded the house and extended over the lawn and across the street. While the speech of the President closed the forpial notification, there had not been oratory enough for those who had gath ered in Canton, and other speakers were called for. Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana; Senator Hanna, Chairhian of the National Committee; Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith, Colonel Samuel Parker, of Hawaii, and Senator Lodge were heard. These speakers, with the exception of Colonel Parker, who was called out of compliment to the Pacific islands, took oc casion to refer to the recent action of the Democratic National Convention, and the remarks, for this reason, were interesting. It was the first public occasion in which Republican speakers had attempted to dis sect and criticise the platform recently adopted by their opponents. It was evi dent that Senator Fairbanks intended to make the money question the dominant is sue of the campaign, denying that with 16 to 1 in their platform the Democrats could make “imperialism” the leading is sue. Senator Hanna’s remarks were con fined almost exclusively to calling on the Republican voters to remember the im portance of their campaign, and were, as one of his friends expressed it, “an all round jolly.” Postmaster General Smith warned his hearers that the Democratic success would disarrange the buslnesss interests of the country. ROOSEVELT NOTIFIED Ceremony Was So Simple As to Be Almost Informal Oyster Bay, L. I., July 12.—On the ve randa of Sagamore, his country home, Governor Roctevelt today was officially notified of his nomination for Vice Presi dent on the Republican ticket. The cere mony was so simple as to be almost In formal. Surrounded by the members of the Com mittee of Notification, a little party of in vited guests, Mrs. Roosevelt and the rest of the Governor's family, Governor Roose velt listened to the address of notification by Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, chair man of the committee. There was no at tempt at ceremony. The party simply ar ranged themselves about the wide veran das, which command a magnificent view Of Long Island Sound, and Senator Wol cott, practically without preliminaries of any kind, delivered a short address. To this the Gqveruor responded briefly, and then luncheon was served. An hour was spent in general conversation on the cool porches, and then the party returned to Oyster Bay, where a special train was waiting to convey them back to New York. REPUBLICANS^ Of West Virginia Put Out a Full 8tate Ticket Charleston, W. Va., July 12.—Governor, A. B. White; Auditor, Arnold S. Scherr; Treasurer, Peter Silman; Attorney-Gen eral, Romero H. Freer; Superintendent of Schools, Thomas C. Miller; Supreme Judges, Henry Brannon and George Pof fenbarger; electors at large, Benson B. McMakln and J. B. Lewis. The Republican State Convention, after completing the foregoing ticket, adjourned at 8 p. m. after being in session since 10 a m., with a recess from 12:40 to 2:30. Two candidates for supreme judges were nominated for terms of twelve years each. Twelve years ago Judge Henry Brannon had been nominated by the Democrats and elected. Four years ago he changed his politics and he was today nominated by the Republicans to be his own successor, and practically without opposition. Judge Freer, whose term in Congress ex pires next March, had been Mr. White’s op ponent for the nomination for Governor. He was made the permanent chairman of the convention last night and became such a favorite that delegates insisted on him going on the ticket. There were 1,054 dele gates and an unlimited number of workers for the different candidates who crowded into the wigwam. In such contests as those for Auditor, Treasurer and Superintendent of Schools there were at times indescribable scenes of disorder. The chairman of the convention used a maul, not a gavel, but pounding was of no avail. Finally he secured a large megaphone, used on steamers on the big Kanawha for hailing passing craft and at tempted to make himself heard, but no foghorn was equal to the general pande monium. THE NO riFICATION Of Bryan and Stevenson Takes Place August 8 Washington, July 12.—William Jennings Bryan and Adlai E. Stevenson will be formally notified of their selection as the Presidential and Vice Presidential nomi nees of the Democratic party on Wednes day, August 8, at Indianapolis, Ind. In formation to this effect was received by Representative Richardson, of Tennessee, I chairman of the Democratic Campaign j Committee, from Senator Jones, the Na [ tional chairman. Mr. Richardson will make the speech of notification to Mr. j Bryan, and Governor diaries S. Thomas, of Colorado, that notifying Mr. Stevenson. It is expected that the notification will be made ^Jie occasion of a large popular demonstraiion, somewhat similar to that at Madison Square Garden, New York, four* years ago. Meteor b«8 royed Store Memphis, Tenn., July 12.—A special to the Commercial-Appeal from Coffeeville, Miss., says: In the village of Bellefontein, Webster County, thirty-three miles in the interior, an aerolite or meteor stone fell from the sky last night, striking the large store of Hodge & Mabry, completely destroying its contents. The strange phenomenon blazed like a coal of fire in its flight downward and exploded when it struck the building. Llnu Steamers Ceased Hamburg, July 12.—The Boersenhalle announces that the Hamburg-American Line has leased four and the North German Lloyd Line six steamers to the Marine Minister for the transportation of 12,000 troops and ammunition to China. Stole #40,000 New York, July 32.—Charles R. Wester velt, secretary and treasurer of the Dime Savings Bank of Newark. N. J., is under arrest, charged with stealing between 138,000 and $40,000 from the bank. .__ . ST, LOUIS CITIZENS WANT ARBITRATION Urging Settlement of the Strike Suit Filed Against Transit Company St. Louis, July 12.—The Citizens' Com mittee, of which John T. Wilson is chair man, has been actively engaged all day procuring signatures to the petition urging that the street railway strike be settled by arbitration. No expression on the sub ject could be obtained from representatives of the company. In brief, the company appears to take the men at their own word and says: "Since they declare they do not believe a settlement can be effected which will be permanent as long as the present officers control the affairs ol the company, it is useless to talk about settling the strike by arbitration or otherwise.’’ Attorney General Crow, on behalf of the minority stockholders of the Southern Electric Railroad, Hied suit today to annul the purchase of the Southern Electric Rail way by the St,. Louis Transit Company. The case will be a test one, and If It wins will break up the entire deal, by which the St. Louis Transit Company was organised. DETAILS DF TIE ASSASSINATION Japanese Legations Officially In formed of the German’s Death, NINTH INFANTRY AT TIEN TSIN Col. Liscuman Has a Free Hand in Ad vancing and It Is Thought He Has Reached the Be leaguered City Washington, July 12.—The Japanese le gation has received a dispatch from Tokio, giving briefly the details of the assassina tion of Baron Von Kettler at Pekin and the fighting around Tien Tsin. The dis patch was sent from Tokio July 4, but was in some way subject to great delay around the Siberian route. It states th^t the German minister was killed by a shot, and that it is not known w’hether the mob element present or soldiers are responsible for the shooting. Concerning today’s reports from Yoko hama that the Government is being asked to send £0,000 troops to China, Mr. Nabe shimu, the Japanese charge d’affairs, says there is no present evidence that the Gov ernment has the slightest purpose of send ing more than on* army corps, or 22,000 men, to China. It is the understanding of the Japanese officials here that the Fifth Army Corps is now being put aboard transports at one of the great naval stations near Hireshl ma. It is expected that the transports will go forward in groups as fast as load ed, each group being accompanied by £ convoy of warships to afford protection. But as Japan and China have not declared Jwar against each other, it is not expected that a large convoy of war vessels will be required. The Japanese troops will go straight to Taku, the trip taking about three and one-half days. Ninth Infantry at Tien Tsin It is inferred at the War Department that Colonel Discuman and two battalions of | the Ninth Infantry, which arrived at Taku on Friday, have reached Tien Tsin. Colonel Ltiscuman has a free hand in the matter of an advance, and it is thought that by prompt movement he has already reached the beleagured city of Tien Tsin, where, according to today’s advices to the British Admiralty, reinforcements were urgently needed. The Bureau of Military Information has received a communication from Major Za linszky, U. S. A., retired, giving some de tails of climate and topography of the country between Taku and Pekin. The country between Taku and Pekin is hilly, and the climate probably will be more fa vorable for white troops than that of the Philippines. The mean temparture of Pe kin is about the same as that of San Fran cisco, but it is much hotter in summer and bitterly cold in winter. The quartermaster’s department has chartered the steamer Aztec at San Fran cisco and has directed that she be fitted up for use in the transportation of horses and mules for the Philippines, or China as the case may be. In view of the prospective military opera tions in China the quartermaster’s de partment is favorably considering the ad visability of establishing a regular service between Taku, China, and Nagasaki, Japan, and using the transport Logan and the freight ship.; Flintshire and Wyefleld for that purpose. The Logan carried the Ninth Infantry from Manila to Taku, and it is now at the latter port. The Flintshire and Wyefleld are scheduled to leave Manila tomorrow with two battalions of the Four teenth Infantry and a battery of the Fifth Artillery for Taku. Negotiating with Japan The State Department Is now in nego tiation with the Japanese government for permission to land these armed forces at Nagasaki. It is expected that this permis sion will be speedily granted. The good impression made by the edict of the Chinese government given out by Minister Wu yesterday threatens to be off set to some extent today by the reports from London stating that Prince Tuan was the real author of this edict, and that some of its most forcible anti-foreign language was omitted from the version given out here. But at the Chinese legation these intimations from London are dismissed as groundless. The dispatch was received here in Chinese, by which the Chinese gov ernment transacts its official code mes sages. This in itself indicates that it iJme with the sanction of those in imperial au thority, as the official code is not known outside of this limited circle. Two translations will be required. CVst from the numerals to the Chinese, the sec ond from the Chinese to the English. These translations were made by the mem bers of the legation staff here, so that the ultimate text as made public contained the phraseology adopted by the officials in this city. In taking their translations they say they adhered literally to the telegraphic edict, so that the published text contains everything embraced in it. When the Em peror Kwang Hsiu issued his edict he does not sign his name, but his acts are au thenticated by a seal, which in this case could not be cabled, so that the document was authenticated as coming from the privy council, the highest body of dignitar ies in China and the one most closely as sociated with the Imperial household. Fol lowing an invariable custom in time of disorder, the war office at Pekin was en trusted with furnishing the runners to carry the message to the Imperial treas urer of China, who in turn got it to Shang hai. From that point it was sent direct to the various ministers, coming to Wash ington direct instead of by the usual route of London. Under the foregoing circum stances, the Chinese officials regard it as beyond the slightest question that the edict is a bona fide expression from the imperial government of Cinna, and more over that it is complete as given out here, without the anti-foreign addenda sought to be put into it in other quarters. New Truck! for Street Cars Huntsville, July U.—(Seclal.)—1The Elec tric Railway Company has received trucks for two summer cars that will be operated on Its line this summer. ICE MATTHEWS mm cum Was Democratic Nominee For State Auditor, IMPORTANT QUESTION RAISED There is Now a Vacancy on the State Ticket Which Must Be Filled Within the Next Few Days. Judge Walker H. Matthews, Democratic nominee for State Auditor, died at his home at Guln, in Marion County, yester day, thereby creating a vacancy on the state ticket, which ftiust be filled within the next three or four days. The first news of Judge Matthews’ death received in Birmingham came in a tele gram to the Age-Herald last night, the telegram containing the bare announce ment of his death without stating any cause. It was known that he had been ill for some months past, but a letter to Sec retary John C. Pugh of the executive and campaign committees a few days ag$> stated that he was very much improved. Jn the letter Judge Matthews expressed the , hope that he would soon be out and that \ he expected to take part in the campaign now in progress. When nominated by the State Demo cratic Convention at Montgomery on April 25 for State Auditor, Judge Matthews was confined to his bed at his Marion County home and had been for several weeks. Later his condition was improved some what and there were hopes that he would be entirely recovered in a short time. Judge Matthews was one of the most prominent men in the State and had been honored by the voters of his county with the best offices in their gift. For twelve years he was probate judge, an office held by his father for twenty years and by his grandfather for a number of years. Hfe wrhs aone time tax collector and at the time of his death was a State Senator from the district of which Marion is a part. He was 42 years of age. Meeting of Committee Nm'ss»ry The death of Judge Matthews makes 4t necessary for the State Democratic Com mittee to meet at once and fill the va cancy thus created. Under the election laws of the State, po litical parties making nominations must file the names of the nominees and the of fices for which they are nominated with the Secretary of State not less than thirty i days before the day of election. If this provision of law stood alone it w'ould ren I der further action by the committee un 1 necessary, but the same section provides that any qualified voter may have his I name placed on the ticket to be voted at the election if a petition, bearing the sig natures of not less than 5U0 qualified elect ors be furnished the probate judges of the different counties not less than twenty days before the day of the election. The opinion seems to be that when such pe tition is filed no certificate to the Secretary of State would be necessary. The State election occurs on Monday, August 6, and in order to comply with the lawr it will be necessary for the probate judges to be provided with the properly signed ,petitions not later than July 17, which will be next Tuesday. Miciiun of llie v. ode Section 1606 of the Code of Alabama, 1896, which provides the manner in which candi dates may get their names on the ticket is as follows: ‘ The Probate Judge of each county $hall cause to be printed on the bal lots to be used in their respective coun ties the names of all candidates who have been put in nomination by any caucus, convention, mass meeting, pri mary’ election or other assembly of any political party or faction in this State ujid certified in writing and filed with l>lm not more than sixty nor less than twenty days previous to the day of elec tion. The certificate must contain the name of each person nominated and the office for which he is nominated and must be signed by the presiding officer and. secretary of such caucus, conven tion, mass meeting or other assembly or by the canvassing board of such pri mary election, and their signatures must be duly acknowledged by one or more of them before an officer authorized by law to take acknowledgements. The Judge of Probate shall also caused to be printed upon the ballots the name of any qualified elector who has been re quested to be a candidate for any State, county, municipal or Federal office by written petition signed In case of a can didate for a State or Federal office by at least five hundred electors, and In case of a county or municipal office, by at least twenty-five electors qualified to vbte in the election to fill said office, when such petition has been filed with him 'hot less than twenty days previous to the election. In case of a person to Be voted for by the electors of the whole State, or of an entire Congressional district or judicial circuit or division, the certificate of nomination or the peti tion must be filed in the office of the Secretary of State not less than thirty days before the election; and the Secre tary of State must thereupon Immedi ately certify to the Judge of Probate of each county In the State in case of an officer to be voted for by the electors of-th? whole pt&te, and to the Judges of Probate of the counties composing the circuit, division or district, upon suit able blanks to be prepared by him for PEKIN YET SHROUDED IN DEEPEST SILENCE And the Most Cheerful Now Believe the Worst Has Happened—Still No News. that purpose, the fact of such nomina tion >and the name of tVie nominee or nominees, and the office to which he or they may be nominated. In case of a person to be voted for by the electors of a Senatorial district, the petition or i certificate of nomination must be filed with the Judge of Probate of each coun ty composing the Senatorial district.” Conference Held Chairman John V. Smith of the State Campaign Committee, when advised last night of the death of Judge Matthews con ferred with Chairman Robert J. Lowe of the State Executive Committee, Colonel Francis G. Caffee, Gordon McDonald of Montgomery, Secretary John C. Pugh and others with reference to the steps to be taken M) fill the vacancy. All agreed that prompt action would be absolutely neces sary and the Executive Committee will be called together within the next day or two, perhaps tomorrow. After the conference Mr. Smith authorized the following state ment: “Under this section there will be no diffi culty in calling the State Democratic Exec utive Committee together and filling this vavancy. Any qualified elector who has been petitioned to become a candidate for a State office by 500 qualified electors has the right to have his name placed on the ticket, and it becomes the duty of the pro j bate judge in each county in the State to | place his name upon the official ballot, pro | vided this is done within twenty days be fore the election. “The law Is reasonable and never requires an impossibility in case of death or resig nation. Any political party would clearly have the right to substitute the name of some one else to fill the vacancy caused by such death or resignation. It becomes im portant therefore that Mr. Lowe call the State Executive Committee together at once to fill this vacancy, "which will proba bly be done this week. The necessary steps will certainly be taken in ample time to fill this vacancy on the Democratic ticket.” t here Were Four Candidates In the convention that nominated Judge Matthews there were four candidates for the nomination. They were Judge Mat thews, of Marion; Robert H. Greene, of Montgomery; A. W. Bailey, of Lawrence, and George \V. Ellis, of Montgomery, the present encumbent. Only one ballot was taken, and the tellers never announced the result of that one. It became evident before a dozen counties had voted that the race was between Judge Matthews and Mr. Ellis, with the former running far ahead. When the last county had been called Judge Matthews had 207% votes— 45V6 less than a majority. Before the tell ers could cast up the vote Jefferson, Dale i and other counties changed their votes to Judge V‘‘tthews, and then a motion was made to make his nomination unanimous, and this prevailed. A telegram from Jasper last night stated that State Senator T. L. Sowell, of that place, would be a candidate for State auditor to till the vacancy on the Demo cratic ticket caused by the death of Judge Matthews. Chairman Low a Issues' Call Chairman Robert J. Lowe, of the State Democratic Executive Committee, stated to an Age-Herald reporter at 1 O'clock this morning that he had issued a call for a meeting of the committee, to be held in this city tomorrow at noon, for the pur pose of filling the vacancy on the State ticket cuused by the death of Judge Mat thews. Referring to this call Mr. Lowe said: “I decided to issue the call on the advice of competent attorneys, who were of the opinion that the action of the committee on Saturday towards filling the vacancy on the ticket might save complications which might otherwise arise under the statute regulating the preparation o" the ballot. In view of the exigency of the case ' I hope there is no indelicacy or improprie ty in the course I have taken. Few' men had a higher regard for Judge Matthews or more sincerely deplore his deuth. I sup ported him in the convention, and rejoiced at his nomination.” CHINESE DEFEAT ALLIED FORCES Engagement Lasted Six Hours and was Fought With Great Determination London, July 12.—(3:30 a. m.)—The Chinese situation presents an aspect more ominous than ever. A dispatch from Tien Tsln an nounces that after a heavy engagement the allied forces have been defeated and driven out of the eastern arsenal by General Ma. This dispatch, dated Friday and sent via Che Fee, is as follows: "General Ma has defeated the allied troops and re-occupied the Chinese eastern arsenal, after Inflicting great loss upon Its defenders. The engagement lasted six hours, and was fought with great determin ation by both sides. "The Chinese were eventually able to use the effective guns of the fort abutting on the ,clty walls near the Taotal’s yamen, the allied troops suffering severely from lack of heavy guns and cavalry. “The Japanese commander sent an urgent appeal to hurry re-enforcements, as the allies were In Imminent danger of general defeat” Eighteen days ago Sir Robert Hart dis patched his last message, declaring that the situation was desperate, and since then no word has come from the Europeans In Pekin. ___ __ USUAL RUMOR CROP Nothing Has Been Heard From Li Hung Chang. REPORT IS DENIED IN BERLIN Statements are Circulating in Shanghai Accusing the Russians of Indiscrimi* nate Slaughter of Friendly Chinese Non-Combatants London, July 13, 4:10 A. M.-A terrible veil of silence enshrouds Pekin, and there is nobody who does not believe the worst has happened. It is taken for granted that all the powers have exhausted every, means to get direct news from their le gations, and the fact that their efforts have been in vain leaves but one interpre tation. The Chinese representative at Ber lin denies the statement that LI Hung Chang had sent to him a hopeful telegram. He says that, on the contrary, no direct telegrams have been received by him from LI Hung Chang for some time past. To day's news is again restricted to the usual crop of the untrustworthy Shanghai ru mors, the most serious of which, reported by the correspondent of the Express, is to the effect that Europeans are directing the Chinese military operations. The cor respondent asserts that Captain Bailey, of Her Majesty's ship Aurora, distinctly, saw u man in European garb directing the Chinese artillery operations outside of Tien Tsin. Foreign refugees from Tien Tsin openly, accuse a European official, whose name the Express correspondent suppresses. Col vin Hennekln, who was formerly employed to drill the Chinese troops, is accused of being one of the parties to a plot to pro cure the escape of General Chang and themselves from Tien Tsin before tha bombardment, leaving the other foreigners to their fate. j Indiscriminate Slaughter Statements are circulating in Shanghai accusing the Russians of Indiscriminate slaughter of fretndly Chinese non-combat ants, without regard to age or sex. The manager of a Chinese steumship company, who 1m sarrlved in Shanghai, asserts that he only escaped from Tien Tsin by cutting off his queque and donning European clothes. It is stated that Tao Toi of Shanghai protested to the powers against these Russian slaughters. It is asserted that the Buddhist preists throughout the Empire are propagating Prince Tuan’s anti foreign gospel. News is in circulation throughout the Yang Tse valley that General Ma has in flicted a crushing defeat upon the allies at Tien Tsin and that the foreign army I has been cut to pieces east of Pekin. The actual impotence for the moment of the allied forces nearly gives cover to these | stories with the worst results. The Shanghai correspondent of the Ex press gives Tien Tsin advices to July 8, when the superiority of the Japanese artil lery enabled them to relieve the Russians, who were hard pressed at the railway stfti tions. SENATOR JONES Goes on an Outing — Indiana will go Democratic Chicago, July 12.—Senator Jones left Chi cago today for a trip to Lake Minnetonka, for a brief outing. The Chronicle tomor row will say: No appointments have been announced, but It is generally understood that Mayor Taggart of Indianapolis will be made chair man of the campaign committee. Chair- ' man Jones is conceded his old place as the head of the executive body and he will be the active manager of the campaign. Mr. Taggart assured Senator Jones that the Democrats need have ,no fear of In diana going Republican this year, but he added that the task will be rendered less if the ceremonies were to take place at tha Hoosier capital. "I believe Indiana will go Democratic this fall by 25,000,” said Mayor Taggart. “Imperialism will swallow’ all other issues and bring us many Republican votes. “Ex-Congressman Henry U. Johnson and other well-known Republicans will be with the ticket on account of the imperialistlo plank in our platform, and there are no signs of defection In our party.” The Democratic National headquarters will remain in Chicago, and the information is given upon good authority that the camp will be pitched in the Auditorium Annex in the same rooms used in 1896. Trentatove Awarded Contract St. Louis, July 12.—Chevelier Trentanove, a sculptor, of Washington, D. C., was to** day awarded the contract for erecting ths monument to the Confederate dead that will be placed in Springfield, Mo., by thp United Confederate Veterans and Daugh* ters of the Confederacy. The monument is to be ready for unveiling by June of next year. It will cost $12,000, and will be ths only memorial to Coalads rate soldiers Missouri, ^
