Situation in Chicago Unprecedented.
Chicago, June 15.?Distinct and un
-A -1 n _ 1 nV?or? (T/i in thfiX
mis uiitioie was LUC ^ ?
( mosphere which followed the arrival
of Col. Roosevelt. If feeling had been
intense before, it became explosive in
every quarter of the convention crowd.
> From the densely packed throng
* ' * -in frrvnt r\f the i
wmcn gre^ceu VJ. ?^
Congress hotel to the utmost corner
of th? most distant hotel, where delegates
gathered, it was plain that it
would take very little to precipitate
an outbreak.
Something of the piercing quality oi
the famous "rebel yell" characterized
the snapping cheers which interrupted
Col. Roosevelt's speech from the hotel j
balcony shortly after his arrival.
v* California's Defiance.
In the midst of that crowd the note
of truculent defiance stood forth on
California's banner, which waved with
the cheering "California refuses to
try title to property before the thief
wh.o stole it"
And Mr. Kooseveit caugm up luc
note and made it the key note of his
speech.
f The feeling that matters had to
come to some kind of crisis permeated
both factions. Humors of hot-headed
plans were given somewhat serious
attention by the officers in charge of
flrMrnramontc finmp
uie cuiiv ciinvii. ?ii?ju&v*"vuvw. I
of these rumors, untraceable to their
sources, went so far as to suggest the
possibility that the anti-Taft people
might attempt to take possession of
the convention hall on Monday night; |
that there might be efforts to prevent
the convention from effecting perma^
nent organization at all.
Keady for "Rough House.'5
i
Early in the day the Democratic administration
of th-3 city of Chicago
was taken intp counsel. Mayor Harrison
assured the officers in charge of
the convention arrangements that the
( city police were amply able to preserve
order.
Chief of Police McWeeney, it is said,
would make his headquarters on Monday
in the Coliseum building, which
would at that time be turned over to
~ /\f nn lir>o Phiaf
Ult: CUSIUUJ U1 WC vuvk j
Weeney declared that if any "rough |
^ house" tactics were attempted he!
would he prepared to throw 150 po-1
licemen in front of the stage within j
one minute.
Situation Unprecedented.
"He would be a brave man who undertook
to say tonight what a day, an
hour, a minute might bring forth. The
. fact is that there is a situation in Chi-1
cago now unprecedented in American j
politics and no human being can tell
* . what will be its outcome. The hottest
% ^ battles
in former conventions of any
party seem almost insignificant compared
with that which is culminating
' > ? Here.
* It is impossible to question the accession
of confidence on the part of
the anii-Taft forces, which dated from
the arrival of Mr. Roosevelt. Whether
it had substantial foundation no one
can say. Mr. Roosevelt himself came
on the scene smiling, waving his now
famous hat to the cheering crowds,
and if his confidence was feigned it
f . bore all the appearance of reality.

Chicago, June 16.?The Roosevelt |
plans for the fight to be made in the
*v Republican National convention Tues- I
day were finally adopted at a conference
of the Roosevelt leaders tonight
T
^ under the direction of the colonel himself.
They have determined that the
convention snail i^ot be organized with
the contested delegates seated by the
national committee, and to this end
they have determined to demand a roll
call on the first proposition that comes
up. This undoubtedly will come on
the right of Governor Johnson, of California,
to cast the twenty-six votes of
that State on the question of the temporary
chairmanship.
This right will be questioned by the
two Taft delegates from the 4th district
Then the Roosevelt leaders will
move at once that the temporary roll,
I as made up by the national committee.
be rejected and that a substitute
* roll, prepared by the Roosevelt leaders,
be adopted. This roll will include
the 70 to 80 delegates which Col.
r?-^^Roosevelt claims were stolen from
Aim and which would be sufficient to
J
give the Roosevelt forces control of
the convention.
Under this plan of procedure?sub- i
mining the contests to the committee
en bioc. none of the delegates affected
by the contests could vote. Under customary
rules, passing upon the contests,
State by State, one contested
State might pass upon, the right of an- j
other. |
v
The Roosevelt plan is a revolution-;
ary one. It will be bitterly opposed
by the Taft leaders, but it will serve j
the purpose of bringing the fight
quickly to the front and this is what j
the Roosevelt leaders desire.
Prvo^wotor chairman of the i
? 1VIV1 livovnunvi)
national committee, will call the convention
to order. It is not believed he
will entertain the motion to consider a J
second list of delegates, but will insist
upon waiting for the report of the
committee on credentials, which ordinarily
would not come up for consid- I
*
eration until Wednesday. If he does |
this the Roosevelt leaders will move |
at once "to proceed to ttie nomination j
of Theodore Roosevelt." j
I
In. other words, the Roosevelt dele- |
gates in such a case would attempt to !
hold a convention of their own with- j
in the convention hall.
Col. Roosevelt tonight conferred for
more than an hour with Chairman
Rosewater, who sought the interview
through E. Montreily, of Kansas City,
a mutual friend. Mr. Rosewater ex- j
plained to the colonel that in making |
rulings on the.*cational committee in j
contest cases he had followed the parliamentary
rule that had always gov- j
erned the deliberations of that body. :
Col. Roosevelt directed severe criticisim
against individual members of
' * !aa-- "KIT**. L) /\ ?n f A y* t C
tne committee, uul ^vix . xw?cwa,LCi ? said
to have escaped these strictures.'
Finally the colonel demanded to know j
what Mr. Rosewater's attitude would j
J
be when the Roosevelt forces proposed j
to substitute a new temporary roll for j
that prepared by the committee.
"The rules of the committee will j
apply," answered Mr. Rosewater.
When asked if he would not consent f
to submit the question to the conven- j
tion, Mr.- Rosewater is said to have i
asked for time in which to consider ;
the question. It is expected that he
will confer with his associates tomor-j
row. ^

Chicago, June 16.?William J. Bryan
was a centre of attraction in the preconvention
scenes today, and though
appearing at the headquarters of leaders
of a rival nartv as p newsnanpr re
porter, was given a demonstration by j
the throng of visitors and delegates.
Mr. Bryan had a personal chat with !
Theodore Roosevelt late in the day af- j
ter he had interviewed Senator Dixon,
the Roosevelt campaign director, and
Managing Director McKinley, of the
Taft bureau.
Ac Tirf* ontorod t Vi o _ i
iuuuj, Elbowing
his way through the crowd,
some one shouted:
"Hurrah for William J. Bryan."
He was cheered for several minutes i
and continuous cries of "speech,
speech," came from all parts of the
lobby.
Mr. Bryan waved his hands to the
crowd and remarked to those near him
that he had come "merely as a newspaper
reporter" and not seeking presidential
nomination from a Republican
convention.
"I came to see your steam roller,"!
said Mr. Bryan as he shook hands with
Congress?nan McKinley. "Is it anywhere
in sight?"
"So, we have laid it aside," said Mr.
?
McKinley, "but would be glad to lend j
it to you if you would like to have it j
at Baltimore."
"Oh, no; we Democrats do not need
it," Mr. Bryan laughingly responded,
"we are going to hold a model convention."

The following is from the Yorkville
Enquirer, under the heading: "Just
a Canard":
So far as the Enquirer has infornia- j
tion there has been no confirmation of i
'that story sent out of Rock Hill to
the Charlotte Chronicle, alleging disrespectful
treatment of Governor
I
Blease by Winthrop graduates 011 the j
occasion of the presentation of the j
diplomas.
A Yorkvllle man who was in Rock
Hill Saturday told the Enquirer that
the Rock Hill people generally seemed
more or less indignant that such a
?tory should be sent out, more especially
when there was no foundation
for it other than in the imagination of
the correspondent
The fact is, said the Enquirer's in- i
formant, Governor Blease's conduct at i
Rock Hill was so faultlessly dignified !
and proper that it occasioned favora- !
ble comment even from people who
might naturally be expected to be
most critical. He took occasion to
say at the beginning of his very few
I remarks that he was there solely in
an official capacity rather than for the
purpose of making a speech; but at
the same time he wanted it understood j
that he had alway| been friendly to
Wlnthrop, to prove which he cited his
legislative record and especially the
| fact that the Winthrop appropriations
were untouched in the long list of
items he sought to cut out of the last
appropriation bill.
in view 01 tne governors conauci,
and what he said, it was particularly
regrettable that such a story should
hive been sent out to the world, and
the Rock Hill people did not relish
the incident at all.
