Philadelphia, Special.?The crowds were slow in gathering at the convention hall. When shortly after 11 o'clock the band in the. gallery awoke the echoes in the vast reef space, there were not more than 1.000 persons in the great auditorium.. Put it was astonishing how rapidlythe crowds began to arrive after that hour. They poured in in steady . streams until they blackened the acrc.<v of scats. An unusually large number were women, looking fresh and sweet in their summer gowns. The leaders were slow in arriving and it was not' until Senator Hanna put in an appearance. at 11:43, that the enthusiasm of thousands was uncorked. He got a v Trr| i 4' h $ Sit*'.

General Grosvenor. the whitebearded old veteran, was immediately ( recognized, and he, too, got a cheer, j Occupying prominent seats on the I platform were four of the It men now living who were delegates to the first oAni'fmtinn r\f Pont?l\liptin r.r.rtv hplll ! in Philadelphia, June 17, 1S5C. All were members of the regular Ohio delegation. Three of them were prominent in the anti-slavery fight that led to the convention held in Pittsburg, Fcbrnary 22, 1856, which was in reality the precurser of the Philadelphia convention and these men, therefore, claim to be among those who were chieliy instrumental in forming the Republican party. Cornelius N. Bliss, of New York, got a scattering applause as he came in and took his seat with the New York delegation, and Senator Piatt, of New York, got a popular greeting. As the hour of noon ap proached the delegates entered in a solid stream and spread out over the seats reserved for them. Meantime, the band was playing popular airs and the scene was impressive and animateed. At noon Senator Hanna took his seat at the chairman's table, but al; though this was the hour set for callI ing the convention, be waited a few ! moments, conferring with Secretary i Dick, Senator Wolcott and ouers. I At 12:27 the first pronounceu demonj stration of the convention occurred, i Governor Roosevelt came in through ! the main entrance and moved down ' the centre aisle. He wore his Rough : Rider hat and was instantly recogniz! ed. A deep, rberbrating cheer greeted i him. Men jumped to their chairs tc > cheer him and women fluttered their handkerchiefs. Delegates crowded forward to greet him as he moved through the presS and his entrance, theatrical though it may have been, was like that of a conquering hero. He took .. s seat immediately in the rear of Senator Piatt and in front of Senator Depew. Governor Taylor, of Kentucky, came ic with Governor Bradley, of that State ! {hp former smiling and unruffled aftei all his turmoil. Just across was Senai tor Foraker with his hair tossed, look| ing as though he had been having nard conferences, while General Grosvenor, looking like a patriarch, paced the ! aisle and grasped hands. The long gallery was now packed I with humanity and the floor from wall to wall was a living sea of people j There was that indescribable hum cl j | myriads of voices whicn is only heard e.t ih<> eathcrinz of thousands of uto pic. lieiore Chairman tiaiina ou tb^ desk was a heavy plank about a fool cnnova on/I nn this lav hie faipl The gavel was unique, it consisted of a heavy square oak piece tilled with a handle and looked more like a niau! j than a gavel for a presiding officer. Senator Hanna seemed in no hurry tc call the convention to order. Attired it a sack suit with a white vest be sal chatting with those about him. hi* broad face beaming, his eye meantime roving over the convention. At 12:3C the band broke into the stirring strain; of "The Star Spangled Banner." Gov Roosevelt was nrst on his feet in response to the national anthem. Instantly the whole convention rose er masse. Ten thousand people stooi while the stirring air was played ant I applauaea it with a oncer as tney tool their scats. Chairman Hmna remained standing, lie lifted the ungainly gavel and rcught it down witi u resounding whack. Instantly al eyes were riveted upon him and i wave of applause swept the hall. Chairman Hanna faced the storm oi applause witji a resolute lace. tin ste: n features did not relax, but h< nodded an acknowledgement as the applause broke here and there into z cheer. When it had subsided h< brought down the ravel again. "The convention will come to order,' he shouted,, at exactly 12: P.". "The convention will bo opened will prayer," he continued, "by the Rev. J Gray Bolton, of the Hope Presbyteriar Church, of Philadelphia." Chairman Manna remained standing with bowed head while the divine tanu forward in the black robes of his office to deliver his invocation, but tin delegates in the pit remained sentec and only here und there did one of tlu spec tators rise. All, however, bowcC their heads reverently while Rev. Mr Bollcn read his prayer from small slip: of raner which he lied in the liollov of his hand. As the prayer closed. Senator Hann: was again on his feet, and adjusting his eye glasses, said in a resonant, voice: "The secretary of the national corn, rr.ittee will now read the call for the convention." As Col. Dick stepped forward, call in hand, he was given a ripple of applause. He trad the formal call, while the vast assemblage fretted for the more vital proceedings. The remainder of the day's session of the convention was devoted to routine business, the appointment cf committees, and other matters in detail. Storms of. applause a-'coted the name of McKlhley whenever mentioned. The day's session closed by adjournment at exactly 3 o'clock. Second Day of the Convention. Philadelphia, Special.-President McKinley was not renominated at tne session of the national convention Wednesday. Senator Hanna threw up the sponge. He found he could not stem the tide of the popular favorite without using the direct influence of fhi? KlminiitPifinn nt Wrivlvil -ftfin. And this he eouiu not go:. Possibly even with it. he might have failed, P.u; without it the task was hopeiess. The President would have no hand in an effort to control the convention. He made known directly to Mr. Hanna his wish that the will of the convention should not be thwarted, and when that unequivocal wcrd came. Mr. Hanna reluctantly abandoned the fight. With his retirement from the contest against the Empire State Governor, both nominations could have been been made before the convention adjourned Wednesday. The original programme was to renominate McKinley and to nominate the candidate for Vice President Thursday, but the national Republican committee had a compact with the local Philadelphia committee to keep tho convention Lere for three oays, ana it was feared that if the norainantion for President ?-as made *ho *wv<mtlon mignt take tne on in its teeth and wind up the proceedings before dark. All the preparations for the President'3 nomination at this session had been perfected. Hundreds of beautiful red, white and blue pampas plumes, attached to long staffs, had been taken down into the delegates' pit before the convention met. and there stowed away against the inevitable moment when the climax should be reached. As they were carried into the pit by the ushers J while the convention was assembling, they recalled the magnificent scene a* St. Louis four years ago when similar plumes set the convention mad with delight during the famous McKinley demonstration. Knowing the temper of the delegates and the crowds, Mr. Hanna decided to take no risks. And consequently the immense throngs which blackened the vast amphitheater were compelled to content themselves with rotine incidents connected with the permancnet orcanizat.ion. an oration cj senator i-oage, tne permanent chairman, and the scene which attended the unanimous adoption of the platform. Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, | 7 M i ? IQEODOSE UUOSKVEtlfc _ chairman of fno committee on resolutions, was reccgniz?d to present the platform to the convention. The Indiana Senator received a flattering reception as be mounted tlx* sta^e but v.TTTn Zc Uegan To'fCTttrthe declaration ct principles thousands who could not hear Senator Fairbanks grew vestbss and many left the hall for a breath of air. Senator Fairbanks concluded the reading of the platform at 2:50. lie moved that the platform be the previous question. The demand was seconded by Senator Hansbrough, of North Dakota, and Senator Sewell, of New Jersey. The demand was agreed .1 n/i tlm mnHrni then was declared as ne liau Deen a-SKeu iu give nis aavice concerning the Vice Presidential situation he would suggest that McIvinley and Roosevelt both Be nominated by acclamation. At 3 o'clock the convention adjourned to Thursday, when the nominations for President and Vice President?McKinley and Roosevelt?will be made. AlcKINLEY AND ROOSEVELT Nominated on the First Ballot and Declared the Unanimous Choice. For President, William McKinley, of Ohio. For Vice-President, Theodore Roosevelt. of New York. That is the ticket nominated by the Republican National Convention on Thursday. Both nominations were by acclamation. At 10:40 o'clock the convention was called to order by Chairman Hinry Cabot Ltfdge. The Right Reverend, Archbishop Bryan, made the opening prayer. After seme routine business had been transacted,. the nomination of a canaiuaie ior Jfresiaeat or tne United States was declared to be in order. FORAKER NAMES McKINLEY. The call of States was begun nnd the first State yielded to Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, of Ohio. Senator Foraker made a ringing speech, in which he said the Democratic financial policy, like the "Lost Cause" of the Confederacy,* ana its oZiTer policies had tTeen buried too deep for resurrection. He spoke of the record of the Republican party and reviewed the great record of the present administration. He denounced the Democrats and declared that the country demanded the re-nom ination and re-election of William Mc ivmiey. ROOSEVELT'S SPEECH.' Then Governor Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, took the platform. He was greeted by the most enthusiastic cheering, and received an ovation that lasted for five minutes. He said he rose to second the nomination of President MeKinley. He was applauded at every word he spoke, and was frequently interrupted in the midst of sentences. He was followed by Senator dojih*^ Thurs?on, of Nebraska, who also'made' a strong speech, seconding McKinley's nomination. Mr. Ycrks, of Kentucky, also seconded the nomination. The delegates called loudly, "vote!" "vote!" but Chairman Lodge recognized Mr. Knight, of California, who also made a seconding speech. This ended the speech-making, and the vote was ordered. The roll of States W2S called, and every one voted for MeKinley. Mckinley nominated. At 12:40 the chairman announced that William MeKinley had received the entire vote of the convention, and was accordingly nominated for President of the United States. GREAT ENTHUSIASM. A storm of cheers' and applause greeted the announcment of the vote. Chairman Mark Hanna led the cheering and franficallv waved a banner. wli'le the hand played "Red, White and Blue." The delegates with banners marched around me hall, wildly cheering for McKinley. It was an inspiring and enthusiastic scene. The nomination of vice-president was declared next in order. Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, was placed in nomination by Young, of Iowa, sec by Chairman Lodge, to be unanimously adopted. The anounccment of the adoption cf the platform was received with enthusiastic cheers. SENATOR LODGE TOR PERMANENT CHAIRMAN. The announced as a committee to e "or* Senator Henry Cabot Lodge to the chair. Governor Shaw, of Iowa, and Governor Theodore Roosevelt, of New York. A cheer went up, strong and ior.g continued, as this group ol names fell from the chairman's lips. Apparently Governor Roosevelt had not expected to be thus designated and his face showed signs of annoyance. With Governor Shaw he stepped to Mr. Lodge's seat and with the permanent chairman between them they marched up to the platform. The cheers reechoed continuously until Mr. Lodge I after greeting Mr. "Wolcott, turned tc the audience and began his address. 311*. J?o<!ge s voice snoweu spienuio carrying power, promising well for the trying task of presiding over such a gathering. His reference to Hawaii and the presence of representatives ol tnat new acquisition, brought the delegates to their feet in a lusty greeting to the Hawailans. When he referred to the "infamy in Kentucky," the delegates from that State yelled their approval and the other States added a sympathetic demonstration. Mr. Lodge's references to the policy of the government toward Cuba and the Philippines brought out frequent manifestations of approval and were the signal for a hearty demonstration, in which General Gibson, of Tennessee, was seen amid the delegates, waving aloft hicane topped by a silk hat. Late in the evening Senator Hanns ; gave out a statement that in as much I on (lea in ift eloquent speech by .Chauncey Depew. On the call of States he received the vote of every State and was declared the unanimous choice of the convention for the second place on the ticket.

Leaders of the Insurgents Agree on Terms. Manila, by Csble.?Two hundred Filipinos met Thursday morning in Manila to determine honorable and decorous methods for securing peace. The results were submitted in the evening to General Mac Arthur, who accepted them. The leaders of the meeting will use their influence to induce Aguinaldo to accept the arrangement. If they are succos-ful as they hope to be, they believe Aguinaldo will issue orders in conjunction with the American autbor itigs far the cessation of hostilities. i ne meeting. wmcn was tne nrst 01 the kind since the days of the Filipino congress, was composed of the distinct ly revolutionary element, the "Americanistos" being lacking.

Gen. Macabulos and other prominent revolutionists were present. It was pointed out that the questions to be considered were military and civil, the military being concerned with a fessation cf hostilities and the civil with the determination cf the political status of the Filipinos. The im mediate cojcct or me meeung was ia efTect peace and subsequently the leaders could consult with the civil commission as to political matters. It was evident that Senor Patera o was convinced that he could obtain Aguinaldo's sanction to a peace based upon the following seven clauses, which, after four hours, were unanimously accepted as compilable with au honorable peace: 1. Amnesty. 2. The return by the Americans to the Filipinos of confiscated property. 3. Employment for the Tevoluticaary generals in the navy and militia when established. 4. The application of the Fillpinc revenues to succor needy Filipino soldiers. 5. A guarantee to the Filipinos of the exercise o! personal rights accorded to Americans by their constitution. 6.

Chinese Situation. London, By Cable.?The silence of Pekin continues unbroken. Four thousand men of the allied forces were having sharp defensive fighting at Tiea-Tsin, Tuesday and Wednesday, with a prospect of being re-enforcod Thursday. This is the situation in China as set forth in the British government dispatch. Eight hundred Americans are taking part in the fighting in Tien-Tsin, says the Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Express, cabling Friday evening, "and they apparently form a part of a supplementary force, arriving with Germans and British after the conflict started. It is impossible to estimate - - - *1-- r%u: Knt me numDer 01 me vmiueae 'u'cic, uu( they had a surprising number of guns." This information appears to have been brought by the United States gun-boat Nashville to Che Fu and telegraphed to Shanghai. The Chinese are deserting Shanghai in large numbers and going into the interior. Reports from native sources continue to reach Shanghai of anarchy in Pekin. According to these tales the streets are filled day and night with Boxers, who are wholly beyond the control of the Chinese troops and who are working themselves up to a frenzy, and clamoring for the death of all foreigners. .
