Farr, as the representative of Candidate Watres, of  county, was received with great applause; He said «that he was a believer In a square deal. Much trouble had come to the people of the state because there had not been n fair deal in Philadelphia. That city had many historic traditions that It Is the residence of many worthy people, but recently had gotten the Republican party In the state Into a great deal of trouble. Mr. Ftirr said Stuart was a negative character. Pennsylvania does not want a man of that kind for governor. It wants a man of the Roosevelt type; a man of simple life and unquestioned honesty. Mr. Farr read a telegram to show lhat the so-called Independents of Philadelphia were not for Stuart. "Who sent the telegram, give us his name?" came from all parts of the house. Mr. Farr could not give the name without stating a secret, and the crowd showed Its disapproval. Concluding, Mr. Farr pointed out that all the other candidates for governor have gone out Into the state and made a canvass for delegates while Mr. Stuart has not.

Washington, June 0. — President Roosevelt has been astonished, chagrined aud angered at the condition of affairs in the agricultural department with reference to the Inspection of meat, and the war which he has been making on the beef trust has disclosed scandalous incompetency, which he i* now seekiug to remedy. Altoona, Pa., June 6.— 31st annual encampment of the OVand Army of the Republic of Pennsylvania was opened here last night with Si camp fire In the Eleventh Avenue wpera house, which was packed. Hon. J. D. Hicks presided. Mayor S. H. Walker welcomed the delegates anrl the response was delivered by Department Commander J. Andrew Wilt, of Towanda. Addresses were made by Adjutant General Thomas J. Stewart, General J. P. S. Gobin, Former Department Commander Morrison, of Philadelphia; Major Oherst, of Reading, who is to be the new department commander; Major Merrick, who is to be new senior vice department commander and others. The veterans joined In singing "Marching Through Georgia." from Allegheny County, in Addition to Votes of Other Large Countiss. This announcement was received with wild cheers. Within five minutes after the caucus adjourned fully 1,000 Philadelphia delegates and shouters with three bands commenced to parade the streets. In the procession was a hastily painted transparency bearing the well known features of Mr. Stuart, the first that has been seen here. COLONEL WATRES, OF LACKAWANNA, The effects of the president's disclosure of packing house conditions Is seen in an attempt in at least three of the big plants to remedy the conditions condemned in the report. RECEIVED ONLY 48 VOTES Clarence L. Peasley, of Williamsport, made a ringing speech denouncing "the unfair method that was being worked on the country delegates." State Senator James P. McNlchol was by common consent, recognized as the leader of the Philadelphia delegation. When Dr. Neill and Mr. Reynold* prepared their report of the sickening conditions in the Chicago stockyards they were compelled to write what is in effect a very serious reflection upon James Wilson, the secretary of agriculture, and upon A. D. Melvln, the chief of the bureau of animal industry. So serious Is this reflection and so exasperated has the president become at the incompetency of the bureau and its connivance at vile abuses that he Insists upon a complete reorganization of the bureau from top to bottom. He has also recently said that no member of the cabinet has caused anything like the embarrassment that Secretary Wilson had, and the retirement of the head of that department is regarded as only a matter of a short time. Robert Murphy, of Indiana County, for Lieutenant Governor, by Acclamation—Robert Young, of Tioga, for Auditor General, and Henry Houck, of Lebanon, for Secretary of Internal Affairs. Dr. William Deny, of Washington county, denounced the Penrose slate In vigorous and effective English. He spoke of the manner In which the delegates had been deceived by representations that the convention would be an open one, only to come here and tind that a slate had been already made. Toilet arrangements were renovated, floors cleaned, walls scraped and light and ventilation improved. Surroundings of the workers In these plants were improved 50 per cent in one day. "What are we going to do, Jim?" asked Insurance Commissioner David Martin, who presided over the caucus, of Senator MeNldhol, when the latter entered the board of trade rooms, Just before the delegates were called to order.It is said that the packers knew of the report Sunday night and that early in the morning gangs of men were taken from their work and placed at various cleaning and whitewashing Jolts to prepare for visitors. The general manager of one big plant spent the morning in u downtown plumbing establishment picking out the latest sanitary plumbing. There arc 1,500 veterans In the city anil 500 ladies. Rain last night somewhat dampened the ardor of the old "There's only one thing to do, Dave," replied McNlchol. "Everybody's talking Stuart and we had better get In tlrst. The Philadelphia delegates are all for him." Homer Qreene, of Wayne county, spoke against slate and machine domination. At this point John R. Byrne, of Union town, offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: veterans, Harrlsburg, Pa., June 6.—The Harrlsburg, .June 6.—Hurrlsburg's streets were last night a riot of noise and color. They were jammed with badge-decked enthusiasts, horns were tooting, bands; playing and the whole atmosphere a medley of noisy booms. The Ladles of the Grand Army of the Republic, an auxiliary of the Grand Army, began their sessions with 300 delegates present. The report of tile Hawkins Home Board showed that last year t!3 persons were housed there. The receipts were $11,795.16, and the disbursement just $371.20 less than that amount.

"Representing the candidates who have made an open, fair contest for the Republican nomination for governor, we hereby place ourselves on record against any slate or combination made for the purpose of nominating any person for governor who has not been before the Republicans of Pennsylvania as" a bona llde candidate."A variety of signs were put up all over the plants enjoining cleanliness.

Foremen must see that employees wash hands and keep clean." There was a contest In the Fifth These formalities over, Senator Mc- Niehol was recognized. When the president's attention was aroused by sensational charges against the Chicago meat packers he instantly sent for the secretary of agriculture and ordered hlnl to begin an investigation into these matteys. Secretary Wilson sent two of his subordinates to Chicago. It was really au inspection of the department of agriculture Inspectors. Those officials returned to Washington and reported that the charges which had been made against the packing houses were unfounded. They dwelt upon the thoroughness and disinterestedness of the inspection of cattle on the hoof, of the carcasses after killing and of the various processes employed In the preparation of the meat for the domestic and foreign markets. This report was not made in writing. It was made to the secretary of agriculture, who in turn convey.ed the information to the president and, It Is said, ventured the opinion that the reflections which had been cast upon the packing industry were all "moonshine."These officers of the home board were elected: President, Mrs. Kate Lewis, of Pittsburg; senior vice president, Mrs. Jennie Smay, of Pittsburg; junior vice president, Mrs. Virginia Zimmerman, of Pittsburg; corresponding secretary, Miss Rmma H.

In opening his uddrestf In the convention, Chairman Olmstead referred to the hard times that followed close upon the heels of the election of the last Democratic governor of Pennsj Ivanla. He declared that although the public lias been injured by the rapacity of corporations, the injured public can confidently turn to the Republican party for relief. Chairman olmstead warmly lauded President HoOsevelt and Senator Knox.

He could not understand it. He took the position that these men were sent there In the Interest of the public health and not In the interest of the packers, and yet from the bureau of animal Industry down every one of them had been conniving at dirt, tilth and vile surroundings which, in his opinion, must necessarily affect the entire output of the packing house.

The bureau of nnluutl industry, which the president purposes to reorganize,' is one of the most expensive In the department of agriculture and has a rather unsavory record. D. E.

In addition to these inspectors there are probably 250 assistant mlcroseopists, the bulk of them being located in the large packing houses at Chicago, Kansas City and Omaha. The secretary of agriculture has always aimed to give the large packing houses inspectors while small packing houses have had to do without. He does this, he says, because the congressional committees have told him to supply the Inspectors to these large packing houses because that is what the appropriation was for.
