lite, he formally received and accopt-
C(1 the nomination of the republican
j>arty for the presidency of the United
States.
SPEECH IS CHARACTERISTIC.
President Roosevelt's speech of ac-
ceptance was characteristically force-
ful and direct in argument and repleto
■with epigrammatic passages. It was
received with immense enthusiasm by
his audience. Prosperity may have
•been said to bo the key note of his ad-
dress, while the achievements of tha
republican party in statesmanship at
home and abroad were depicted with
the touch of a skilled hand. His sa-
tirical references to the democratic
"party aroused laughter and appU" ir
As the president concluded his

CEREMONY IS SIMPLE.
From the arrival of the special train
from New York with the notification
committee aboard until Its departure
not a hitch occurred. In accordance
with the wish of the president, the cer-
emony was made as simple as possi-
ble.
The formal notification of the action
of the convention was made on behalf
of a committee representing every
etate and territory in the United States
•by Joseph O. Cannon, speaker of the
national house of representatives*.
The day opened with ideal weather
and arrangements for the ceremony
■were completed at an early hour. The
wide veranda of the president's house
p.' Sagamore Hill, extending almost en-
tirely oround the building, was dec-
orated with American llags hung from
pillar to pillar.
In addition many houses in the
neighborhood of the Roosevelt home
and in Oyster Bay were draped with
the national colors. Across the main
street of the villa.ee there hung a large
Roosevelt ami Fairbanks banner.
Speaker Cannon and his committee
of notification together with many of
the invited guests, arrived on a special
train from New York at 11:30 in the
morning, the run from New York hav-
ing been made In an hour. The at-
tendance of the members was notably
larse, regrets being received from only
three, James N. Combes, of Florida;
Senator Depew of New-York, and Sen-
ator Clark of Wyoming. Senator Dc
ew is in Europe and Senator Clark
-*as prevented by important business
from being present.
DM.Y LS6 WITNESS CEREMONIES
About 12r persons' were present at
the ceremony. On Recount of the iso-
lation of Sagamore Hill and tha licit'
of carriages a greater number was not
invited.
President Roosevelt personally re-
ceived the members and other guests
as they arrived at Sagamore Hill. He
knew almost every man personally.
After the visitors had been greeted
by the president Secretary Loeb pre-
sented each one to Mrs. Roosevelt and
to Miss Alice Roosevelt. Mrs Roohevelt
extended to all a cordial welcome and
the hospitality of her home.
Shortly after noon the guests had ar-
rived but the ceremony of notification
did not begin until 12:37 p. m. After
some consultation between the pres-
ident, Speaker Cannon. Chairman Cor-
telyou and Secretary Loeb it was de-
cided to hold the exercises on the ve-
randa. The heat was too great to ad-
mit nf the guests being required to sit
on the lawn. It was found that all
the guests could easily assemble on the
iasm.
President Roosevelt shook Mr. Can-
non's hand heartily at the conclusion
of the notification speech and then
mounted the chair to deliver his ad-
dress in "response. So cordial a recep-
tion was given to him that it was some
time before he could proceed, lfc was
in excellent voice and though he fol-
lowed the printed text of his speech he
seldom referred to it. The address wa3
punctuated by applause.
HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN.
After the informal reception which
followed the address Speaker Cannon
suggested that all the visitors assem-

randa steps "in order that they may-
have their respective shadows secured
ere the substance fade." As the pres-
ident descended t&e steps to face the

STILL PRESS FORWARD
Japanese Army Threatens Rail-
road South of Mukden-The
Rainy Season Is Light
Sintsintin, Manchuria, July °27.—:SI«
multafieously with the advance from
the south the Japanese from the north
have pressed forward toward the west
as if to strike the railroad south of
Mukden. But the move is not made by
a heavy force, so far as known, and it
is thought scarcely probable that the
Japanese would dare to extend such a
line', leaving the troops on the Russian
left in a position to flank them.
Notwithstanding the prophecies of
some of the Manchurian weather pro-
phets. there is only a light rainy sea-
son this year. Rain is failing every-
where, however, and several rivers ar3
overflowing. The question® of provi-
sioning the troops will soon have to be
faced by the Japanese as the movement
of transport trains through the country
Is already Aearly impossible.

Chicago, July 27.—"Wo had an
agreement with Mr. Donnelly's organ-
ization and the allied trades which
they failed to live up to, and under
tho clrcuinstances we do not caro to
make any further agreements with
them."
This Is tho statement which was
signed by the representatives of tho
packers and handed to tho inembecs of
tho state board of arbitration tonight
at tho end of a conference between tho
two botlles held at the request of tho
stato board in an endeavor to bring
about another meeting for the settle-
ment of the butchers' Btrlko between
the packers and the strikers.
RECEIVE BOARD COURTEOUSLY.
The packers received l ho stato board
courteously and listened to their arg-
uments for a peaceable adjustment of
the difficulty. The announcement that
the packers were opposed to any fur-
ther peace agreements with the strik-
ers was handed to the board by Arthur
Meeker and Thomas Connor, both oC
Armour and Company, who represent-
ed tho packers.
MUST TAKE INITIATIVE.
The contention of the packers that
this agreement, is still In force and at
they aro unwilling to ofTer any further
concessions to the strikers they say ;i
renewal of peace negotiations with tho
hope of souring better terms would bo
useless. The labor leaders say that
when the bulchers went on tho second
strike because of alleged discrimina-
tion by the packers In ro-hlrlng strik-
ing employes tho arbitration agree-
ment was nullified and that it Is nec-
essary to sign a new agreement before
a settlement can bo reached. After
tonight's conference with tho state ar-
bitration board, Arthur Meeker, man-
ager for Armour and company said
that the packers were still willing to
live up to the terms of the original
agreement, but that the Initiative
would have to be taken by the strik-
ers. Mr. Meeker also Intimated that
tho sooner the strikers adopt this
course tho better it would bo for them
an, In his belief If the strike should
last much longer all the places of the
strikers would l>o filled by new men
and there would be no necessity for
the packers to wish to settle on any
basis with their old employes.
Notwithstanding today's failuro to
bring the contesting parlies together,
another attompt, it was said tonight,
would be made tomorrow to arrange a
conference between the packers ami
the strikers. James H. Walker, a grain
broker on the Chicago board of trade,
is the inun who purposes to do what
the state board of arbitration failed
to accomplish. Mr. Walker was In con-
sultation tonight with the leaders of
the allied trades unions and several of
the packers. Jle said that he had mada
considerable progress toward the de-
sired conference and that it was hi*
firm belief that before tomorrow
night he would be able to announce
that his mission had been a success.
POLICE RULE AT YARDS.
"Police rule" today was declared in
tho ntoek yards region. During the
day there were several minor disturb-
ancos in spite of the police, but when
night came the chief of police said lie
was master of the situation.
At least 1,000 new employes were
taken into the yards and put to -work.
V conservative estimate of the number
ot animals slaughtered today by tho
different plants placed It at about one-
half the amount disposed of under nor-
mal conditions. .
