His speech was as follows: Washington, June 7.—The work of moving the President's goods to Oyster Bay for the summer vacation was begun yesterday. Several large truckloads of boxes and trunks were taken to the freight station from the White Hoilse and the horses belonging to the Roosevelt children were driven to the railroad yards and loaded into a comfortable box car, which started for Long Island today.

Lexington, Ivy., June 7.—In the circuit court here Swift & Co. of Chicago, packers, confessed that they had sold adulterated meat here and were fined in each of tivc cases.

Heir to $5U,UOO,OUO and possessed of everything that money could buy, he sighed for the hand of the only woman he loved and when he saw her led to the altar by another man resolved to end his life. The woman was his full cousin, Miss Madallnc Mc- Loughlin, who was married to the Rev. Maitland Alexander in this city on April 17. Mr. Jones had loved her from childhood, but a marriage had been opposed by friends of both because of consanguinity. Despite this the young steel prince hoped something would develop which would do away with the opposition. His confidence was not blasted until the day of the wedding. governor Washington, .Tune 7.—'The house committee on agriculture complied with the request of the Chicago packers to lie heard on the Nelll-Reynolds report regarding conditions in the Chicago packing houses. The request was made by Thomas E. Wilson, who said he was an employee of the Nelson Morris company, but In this instance was authorized to speak for all the Chicago packers.trade. New York, Juue 7.—That District Attorney Jerome had promised full immunity from prosecution to Andrew C. Fields, former legislative agent and "yellow dog" fund dlsburser for the Mutual Life, was ascertained positively. More than that, in the scope of the prosecutor's mercy are Lysander W. Lawrence, whose printing and station ery establishment Is said to have milked tens of thousands of dollars from the Mutual Life treasury, and George McKibbln, bookbinder, whose bills, according to report, also helped to keep the pockets of Fields tilled with policyholders' money. Those men will share Fields' Immunity. " 'A Pennsylvanlan—a Pennsylvanlan who knows Pensylvanla, her Interests, her resources, her people, who has had experience In public life and whose record is clean. Harrtsburg, June 7.—Edwin S.i Stuart, of Philadelphia, was nominated for governor by the Republican State convention on the first ballot. He had 271 votes, though It required only 214 to give him the majority. The rest of the ticket is: Robert S. Murphy, of county, for lieutenant governor New York, June 7.—It is said that "canned wlllle" continues to be passed out from the galleys of the warships of the United States navy, anchored In the North river and the Brooklyn navy yard notwithstanding Upton Sinclair's revelations In his book, "The Jungle," and President Roosevelt's message. "Canned wlllle" is the sailormen's naiue for canned meat. "Canned Willie" For Navy Men, Pennsylvania!! who has strength enough to conduct his office without advisory boards and kitchen cabinets. A Pennsylvaniaii who believes in progress, who could and would take care o£ public problems with enthusiasm and intelligence, who would make a worthy successor to sCD ardent and progressive a Pennsylvanlan as Samuel W. Pennypacker. A Pennsylvania wtio hates the word procrastination and who believes in pushing ahead with every public project which the people want. Such a Pennsylvania!! must be a Republican and the nominee of this convention.' " 'A Cambria Robert K. Young, of Tioga county, for auditor general. The horses belonging to President and Mrs. Unosevelt will not be sent to tliolr summer home until a day or two before the departure of their owners. Since last year several changes have taken place In the President's stables. Wyoming, Yganka and BleWtdn, three riding horses whose name were well known, have all been retired—Hlelstein by death, Wyoming by Incurable disease and Yganka by disabilities that rendered her unsafe for saddle use. In the place of Wyoming and Hlelstein the President has two new mounts, Audrey, a black mare, and Koswell, a bay hunter, both from Virginia; and Husty, a jumper that lie rode two or three years ago, but which was laid up for a considerable length of time by a complication of ailments. Airs. Roosevelt has a new mare, named Molly, in the place of Yganka. Henry Houck, of Lebanon, for secretary of internal affairs. Mr. Wilson took up the N'eiil-Roynolds report, commenting on many of the criticisms. Concerning the condition of the animal pens, he showed that the floors were properly drained to permit of flushing us often as needed. and he asserted that was done. It was the original intention to .make the Stuart nomination on the second ballot, but after It became apparent that he could be nominated, and would be nominated, a number of additional interior counties gathered to his banner. Had the original plan of making the nomination on the second ballot been followed, Mr. Stuart would have hud not less than 340 votes. Packer's Invite Inspection. Chicago, June 7.—The Chicago packers have Inserted in all of the dally papers of this city a full page advertisement Inviting the people of the United States to inspect their plants. Information just as positive was obtained that the district attorney had no intention of asking for Indictments against Holiert Olyphnnt, James C. Holdeu and Charles E. Miller, nieinliers of the expenditures committee of the Mutual Life, which not only passed favorably upon the bills sent In through Fields and "O. K.'d" by Dr. Walter H. Gillette, vice president of the company, but also drew a voucher for $2rD,000 quarterly In favor of Olyphnnt, who turned over the money, amounting to almost $C100,000, to IDr. Gillette or some one else for the confidential and "yellow dog" purposes of the legal department of the company. In regard to the Interior of the workrooms, Mr. Wilson said that any person would lDe pleased with their cleanly appearance before the day's killing and dressing Is begun and that persons not used to packing houses might lie disgusted with the condition of the same room several hours later. He contended, however, that there were no unwholesome conditions there. Every day, he snld, all rooms, tables, trucks and utensils of all kinds are washed as clean as tenter and scrubbing brush can make them. "That description fits the Honorable Louis A. WatrOS. On behalf of the commonwealth of Luzerne, that has 800 square miles of territory, 3011,000 industrious people, who mined and sent to market last year 24,000,000 tons of coal, worth more than $50,- 000,000 at the pit's mouth and who gave Roosevelt 15,000 majority, I second the nomination of Liouis A. Watres. He is a Pennsylvanian who knows Pennsylvania and her interests, who owns himself and lias strength enough to stand alone, who believes in progress and would be a worthy successor to any man who lias projected and carried to a successful conclusion great enterprises, who has had experience in public life ami whose record Is clean. He has won his way from the coal breaker to the Senate chamber and to the lieutenant governor's chair—a statesman and patriot, a type of American who goes forth to conquer the earth and conies forth victorious. It Is not meet that in such a time as tills that the "Republican party of Pennsylvania should make a mistake. Two years ago we gave Theodore Roosevelt 500,000 plurality. Last year we gave a Democratic candidate for state treasurer 80,000 plurality. What did It mean? There was practically no public discussion; the party newspapers generally stood by the ticket. What did it? Was it a protest against anything? It was u political earthquake. It proved that the people of Pennsylvania were capable of thinking for themselves and voting accordingly. Now the very air pulsates and quivers with demands for more honest business methods ami cleaner politics. It is not a good year to scoff at reform and reformers. The mighty giant—public opinion—lias shaken off the lethargy of sleep. Woe to the party or the man who stands in the way of civic righteousness that public opinion demands. The record of our party is splendid with achievements that have advanced human freedom and ;nade human rights secure. That record can be kept unspotted only by devotion to the spirit of liberty, justice and equality. The responsibility is with you to see that the tlag of the proud party whose pedicles have set the United States ill the front rank of the nations of the eartii shall not be trailed ill till dust." He was a guest at the ceremony. His face was white and drawn, and from that day he was a mental and physical wreck. It now is said the result was Inevitable. GUARDING THE PRESIDENT. It was a turbulent convention and It has left bad blood in three sections of the state. The galleries we're packed with the supporters of the othef candidates, and they made it uncomfortable for every speaker who stepped foot oil the stage of the Lyceum theater. There were groans and hisses and cat calls. Philadelphia and Penrose were jeered repeatedly, but every time the country contingent howled out their indignation It was met by all answering volley of shouts of defiance and cheers from a solid Philadelphia delegation. nary Precautions For His Safety. Anarchist Rumors Cause Extraordi- Washlngton, June 7.—Extraordinary precautions are being taken in the vicinity of the White House to protect the president from any possibility of danger. Plain clothes men from the local detective force, secret service agents and a score of uniformed policemen guard every entrance and exit to the executive mansion, and no one is permitted to loiter about the grounds or gateways on the north side of the inclosure, which is a public thorough- He had seemed to lose all heart and hope. He remained away from his office and spent most of his time alone In his room. Every effort was made to arouse him from his sorrow, hut without success. A month ago his mother took him to Cambridge Springs In the hope that the change would benefit him. He seemed to he better and returned to l'ittsburg.

Will Tell to Escape Prosecution, Others who are to be safe from prosecution are Edgar W. Rogers, manager for and reputed, partner of Lawrence; Charles 1D. Norrls, Fields' assistant in the supply department of the Mutual Life, and Charles E. Parsons, a bookkeeper for Lawrence, who is believed to have had lnttiuatd knowledge of the operations of the "fake" supply firm of C. E. Parsons & Co., which also assisted In milking the Mutual Life treasury for the benefit of the Fields "yellow dog" propaganda.' To all these men, besides the members of the expenditures committee, immunity has been promised, with the understanding that they would "squeal" on the high officials of the Mutual Life under the McCurdy management ami anslst the district attorney to obtain information that would enable him to obtain indictments against the men "higher up." Seldom Left His Room, Back among the old familiar haunts and surroundings he rapidly became worse, seldom If ever left his room, and little was seen of him by his friends. Kver.v day he sat and stared Into vacancy, and at night he remained In the same position, unable to sleep or rest. Beyond the interruptions the plans of United States Senator Boies Penrose worked out perfectly. There wasn't a hitch in any stage of . the proceedings. Every man knew what he had to do and did it promptly and All the gates at the east, south and west entrances to the grounds are securely chained and padlocked, and policemen In uniform wait, apparently carelessly, about, but keeping a sharp lookout meanwhile for stragglers. fare As to the character of the employees.

At the coroner's Investigation It was brought out tliat the fenr that lie would lose his mind was responsible for his suicide. For a week he had been carefully guarded. That there was fear of suicide was shown by the statements to the coroner that the family could not account for the manner In which he obtained the revolver. His mother, Mrs. Murdoch, said positively there was no weapon in the room when she went through his effects prior to packing up for the proposed trip to Cambridge Springs. The family believes that the revolver was smuggled into his room by a servant whom lie had tipped liberally. No attempt will be made, however, to ascertain who this person is, as the family Is anxious to avoid notoriety. tion was made permanent "I think," lie said, "that the people In the stockyards are more than the average—a healthy class.

He had a schedule of his work beside him on the table ami he more than once recognized gentlemen who had resolutions to offer or motions to make before tlicy had risen to their feet.

Jf lie is still headstrong and mentally unbalanced it is probable that he will end his days as a farmer.Penrose Controlled the Situation Mr. Wilson did not attempt to deny that odors arose from the entrails and offal of the carcasses, but lie said they were removed as promptly as possible. He said lie did not think that even Dr. Neill would suggest perfuming this material. lie scouted the charge that there was any odor from decayed wood or decayed meat, as there was none of either In the operating rooms to give rise to any smell.

Fields Now In California From the beginning to the end of It was admitted that without the testimony of these men it would be Impossible to obtain such Indictments, and that If those who were willing to "squeal" should be indicted it would destroy the value of their testimony and make It Impossible for the district attorney to obtain full confessions from them. Not until immunity had been promised, it was said, would any of the men agree to make a clean breast. Neither would Andrew C. Fields' return from his retreat In Call- flic convention Senator Penrose occupied nn aisle seat In the Allegheny delegation. He was like a pilot whose hand never left the wheel. For the most part he sat unmoved during the most exciting periods in the convention. though at times he would break Into a laugh at some expressions of a speaker. Never for an instant, however, did he relax ills grasp on the situation. There was no necessity for whispered consultation or for the running io and fro of messengers carrying orders. The plans for the conduct of the convention, mapped out in advance, were as perfect as they could be made. And they were perfectly executed. Dr. Alexander and llit bride sailed for Europe Immediately nfter the wedding and have not heard of the tragedy.The charge that there were toilet rooms off the workrooms was admitted and the practice defended as not being more insanitary than a toilet off a bedroom In n first class hotel, as the toilets were kept in good condition.

St. Petersburg, June 7.—A new cloud is looming in thp government's horizon in serious unrest among the troops, the only stay of the administration In case of an open rupture with parliament, evidence of which Is belug received from many quarters. In addition to the Kursk troubles, which In spite of the official disclaimer that they are of a political character are known to have been fomented by revolutionists, there is open fermentation among the garrison of Odessa, while the Cossacks at Hostov-on-lDou and elsewhere are muttering because of the long time they have absent from their homes. No smoother working convention has ever been seen in Ha-rrisburg even in the palmiest days of Quay. At the same time 110 Republican convention in the memory of the oldest delegate has seen so much turbulence; such a display of bad blood, such deep-seated disappointment among the defeated. Repeating his Invitation to members of the committee to visit the packing houses, Mr. Wilson said that the houses are always open and that millions of people passed through every year.

In addition it is learned that the new recruits Instead of revivifying the loyalty of the army have Infected the ranks still further with the revolutionary virus which Is so widespread among the peasantry. Undoubtedly It Is too early to say that the army cannot be depended upon and that an armed uprising Is Imminent, but It Is certain that disaffection has made wide strides since last summer, and the revolutionists nre now bending their entire efforts to this propaganda.

Mr. Rockefeller surprised all his fellow passengers by mingling with them freely. He visited the second cabin one day and chatted freely with everybody. The passengers there were shy at first, but soon became sociable, and finally when Mr. Rockefeller left somebody called for three cheers for him. which were given with the utmost good will. Mr. Rockefeller looked surprised and gratified. He said afterward that It was the most unexpected compliment he ever received. PERSONAL.
