NATIONAL [SSUES AR PARAMOUNT Thus Declares Colonel Roosevelt. were responded to by Governor Tanner of Tllinols, Governor Tyler of Virginia and other prominent guests. A launch- ing hop was given at the Chamberlain Hotel this evening. The Illinois will be the biggest and most powerful and probably the most effective battleshin in the United States navy. Larger than the Iowa and heavier than the Oregon, the Illinols is still so designed that she will be able to enter any harbor open to the smaller | battleships, while, in the matter of speed, she will rank with any of them. The most striking difference between the Illinois and the battleships now in service is the high freeboard of the for- mer, enabling her to fight her guns from their great elevation above the water in seas so heavy that the guns of the lower vessel would be sub- merged and useless. Splendid sea- going powers are also expected to re- sult from this Increased freeboard, by which s ‘meant the height of the hull above the water line. The dimensions ~¢ the Illinois are as follows: Length on load water line, 368 feet; beam, extreme, 77 feet 2% inches; draft on normal displacement of 111,525 tons, 23 feet 6 inches: maxi- mum displacement, all ammunition and stores on board, 12,325 |ACCEPTS THE NOMINATION PLEDGES SUPPORT TO SARA- TOGA PLATFORM.

NEW YORK, Oct. appointed to 4.—The committee notify the candidates nominated by the State Republican Convention at Saratoga went to the home of Colonel Roosevelt, the nomi- nee for Governor, at Oyster Boy, L. I, to-day. Senator Platt was unable to attend through illness. Dr. Chauncey M. Depew made the notif.cation address to Colonel Roosevelt, complimenting him on the unanimity of his choice by the convention. Colonel Roosevelt re- plied as follows: I herewith accept the nomination ten- dered by the Republican party in con- vention assembled. I deeply feel the re- sponsibilities which attach to the chief executive of a commonwealth larger and more populous than many an Oid World kingdom. In accepting this nomination at the hands of the authorized committee of the Republican State Convention I take this opportunity of extending through you to the Republicans of the Empire State my heartfelt thanks for the distinguished honor conferred upon me. If elected I shall strive to administer the duties of this high office in the interests of the peo- le of the State as a whole, knowing that owe my Posfllon to the people, and to them I shall hold myself accountable. I take it that the promises made in_ the latform adopted at Sarataga are as bind- ng as any others, and to the fulfillment of the pledges made therein I promise my best efforts. The party's past has been lorious, and, while this does not atone or failure to perform present duty, it does give adequate reason for belleving we shall meet each duty right, so that the party in the future may give as great a cause for thankfulness and pride as do the achievements of the past. | National issues are paramount this year. It is not more possible to conduct a State election now without regard to national issues than it was possible so to conduct one in 1861 or 1863. As it then was, so it now. is the interest of the nation as a whole which is of vital and 5 tons; maximum indicated horsepower (estimated), 10,- 000; probable speed, 16% knots; normal coal supplv. 800 tons; coal supply, loose storage, 1200 tons; full bunker capacity, 1400 to 1500 tons. Complement of officers, 40; seamen, marines, etc., 449. The main battery will consist of four 13-Inch breech-loading rifles in Hich- born balanced turrets oval in shape, and placed in the center line of the vessel, and fourteen 6-inch rapid fire guns. The secondary battery will con- sist of sixteen 6-pounder rapid fire guns, four 1-pounder rapid fire guns, | two Colt guns and two field guns. She will carry four torpedo tubes. There will be two sets of triple ex- pansion, twin-screw engines, each in its own separate water-tight compart- ment. The collective indicated horse- power will be about 10,000, with 120 rev- olutions per minute, stroke four feet. The first keel plate of the vessel was Jaid February 10, 1897, not quite twenty months ago, and the percentage of work completed to this date, based upon the vessel fitted out and read_y for sea, is now reported as between 53 and 54 per cent. The contract price was $2,595,000, and the date of comple- tion is stated to be October 5, 1899. and th garding the | missioners his personal views a | of Rear Admiral Dewey r | physical, geographical, moral and po- litical conditions prevailing in the exposition of his | Philippine Islands. | General Merritt's | personal views and judgment of the Philippine Islands was not finished to- day and he will meet the commission g: to-morrow when he will continue to discharge his errand here. anish commissioners were re- afternoon at 4 o'clock by t Faure at the Elysee Palace. iately following the reception of the Spaniards the members of the | H American Peace Commission were re- Then Peace Will Be| ceived by President Faure at the Elysce >alace.

At the outset it may be sald that the work is complet~" all but the finishing touches ~n the main re- port and one bill, on which President McKinley’s wishes have to be con- sulted. ‘While it is to be called the Territory of Hawali, the Government will be an enlarged territorial one, something half way between a Territory and a State. Government by a commission or on the lines of the District of Co- lumbia ha‘ never been seriously con- sidered. some matters Hawaii will be confine. to the privileges of a Ter- | ritory, while in others it will have {{hnse of a State. | The Territory of Hawall will hawve a Legislature and will make its own laws, subject to approval or rejection by Congress. There will be no change from the present form of the Legis- lature, and its numerical strength and apportionment of districts, etc.,, re- main untodched. The new Territory of Hawail will have one representative in Congress at present, one, not an ordinary Delegate with no vote, who can only be heard on que tions concerning his own Territory. The Congressman from Hawaii will have the same rights as one from Ohio, a concession made to the growing importance of Hawail from a geo- graphical, naval and military stand- point. The property qualification of $1500 in real or $3000 in pérsonal estate to make an elector elizible to vote for the Sen- ate is done away with. To vote for a Senator in the Territory of Hawaii an elector must possess an annual income from some source of $600. In every- thing else the franchi~~ is free and un- | restricted by any qualification, educa- tional or otherwise. The indorsement of the Washington members of the commission has been eagerly sought by friends of Mimister Sewall and President Dole early and often, but the subject being a delicate one no reference to it will be made in the Commissioners’.report. Being a Democrat, Senator Morgan will have nothing to do with' the question, be- lieving that President McKinley's choice should be unhamnered. It may be said that personally Senator Cul- lom’s sympathies are with Minister Se- wall, while those of Congressman Hitt are for President Dole. It has been decided that the Gover- norship of Hawalii is to be a much more important office than that of other new Territories, consequently the salary will be commensurate with the office. It will be either $8000 a year, or $5000, with an extra thousand for expenses, pracs tically the same thing. The satary and status of the office having been raised above the usual run of Terri- torial Governorships, there will be no other candidates than those mentioned above, particularly in view of the pos- sibilities of a United States Senator- ship to be evolved In the future. It is ed its sittings in | but he will be a full fledged | 4for this reason the Star learns that one of the foremost of Ohio's politicians, a gentleman high in the councils of | President McKinley and the Republican party, a man who has only to ask for the position to obtain the appointment, is only awaiting the report of the com- | mission to male known his candidacy, and of course there will be any number of other applicants as soon as the | amount of the salary becomes known. | The present judiciary system of Ha- | waii will remain undisturbed. The Su- | preme Court will probably be given Federal jurisdiction in United States cases and the Judges will be appointed for four years instead of life. Much has been said and written as | to the position of the Cabinet before the commission. Certain questions in | writing were drawn up by the commis- sion and referred to the Cabinet for |answer. They were answered in writ- ing and the members of the Cabinet | also gave such information to the com- | mission, as was required of their seve- In this connection it | may be stated that the commission takes back to Washington the most | complete and exhaustive data concern- ing every detail of the different de- | partments. Senator Cullom has a com- | plete inventory of everything trans- ferred to the United States under the Newlands resolution, even down to chairs and tables. Minister Damon has had to furnish elaborate statistics from the Customs and Postal bureaus, as well as complete statements of the | present financial status of the Govern- ment, the currency and coin in circu- lation, while the other Ministers have had to furnish similar data from their departments. ‘When the commission deposits its record in Washington the | officials there will be able to put their | fingers on any data concerning Hawail at a moment’s notice. There have been rumors on the street for several days that there\was a division in the commission, and that its sittings here have not been as har- monious as might be. This is not so. ‘While there have been differences of opinion there has been no dissension or acrimonlous feeling. For instance, on the question of suffrage, there was a division. Senators Cullom and Mor- gan were opposed to any restriction, while the two Hawaiian members wanted the present restrictions main- tained. Congressman Hitt took the middle view, favoring a smali income qualification, and thus an agreement was finally reached. It may be stated on this head that all memorials and petitions have been of no avail. The terms of the New- lands resolution and the Chinese re- | striction act are so strong as to leave | the commission no choice but to submit to the ironclad rules laid down. Contrary to the impression which has heretofore prevailed, the several bills, with one exception, which are to be pre- sented with the report, are already pre- pared, and will go at once to the Con- gressional printing ‘office. The com- mission being empowered to present a report and such bills as may be requi- site it will not be necessary for the bills to be presented and by a vote passed to print, as is usual with new bills. The main report will be in manuscript for the President'~ use only, but it is considered likely that it will be incor- porated In a special message to Con- gress and thus be made public. It is understood that the question of citizenship will be referred to the State Department at Washington for final decision. This being settled, the com- mission has only to meet in Washing- ton on November 14, incorporate the decisfon in their report and final bill and their labors will be at an end. TRANSPORT OBDAM'S | BUNKERS ON FIRE SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Oct. 4—The United States transport Obdam, which left here on Sunday, has returned with her bunkers on fire. fire was discovered yesterday morning at 10 o’clock in the main hold, which was at once flooded with tons of water and a gang of men was put at work re- moving the ammunition, of which the ship carried a large supply. All the offi- cers and soldiers who were well enough to do so worked hard to extinguish the flames. Every means available is now being employed to extinguish the fire, and it is hoped she will be able to leave here again in three days. ‘Surgeon Major Seaman reports all well on board. | ral departments.

Then, as now, it was forced to make precedents. In 1561 we had to pre- serve the republic for its great destin in 1898 we have to take a long stri toward_the accomplishment of 1at des- tiny. The Republican party, therefore, in its”State platform, does weil to reiterate the promise_under which it was possible to elect a Republican President, pledges which made it possible to restore prosper- ity to our country, and to put the nation where it is possible to work out the glo- rious future which is now before a united nation. The issues for honest morkey, for protec- tion to American industry, for the up- building of a merchant marine adequate torcarry the commerce of the world, and to form a naval militia in times of war, are as vital this year as they were in the reat contest which was so successfully ought in 189%. We must further strength- en our navy and build up our army, that they may be equal to meet every demand made upon them, as we. work out our destiny. Hawail and Porto Rico are ours and in the East and West Indies the interests of the nation shall be safe- guarded. Nor i= it alone on national issues that the Republican party has its duties to per- form. Its record made by the Republican administration of the State of New York is a guarantee that upon all questions af- fecting the property rights and interests and liberty of all citizens the Republican party can be safely trusted. As we pledge ourselves to uphold the national honor abroad, we pledge ourselves to enforce strict honesty at_home. The National Guard must be raised to and kept at the highest standard of effi- cfency. It has amply proved its courage and patriotism and we are bound to see that soldiers so brave and so willing are o erly armed and are handled on the est possible system.

Spectal cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 159, by James Gor- don Bennett. i HAVANA, Cuba, Oct. 4—There was a joint session of the commissions this morning, as arranged by General Clous, Captain Hart, Colonel Giranta and Ma- Jor Benetez. Even the Commissioners themselves were in the dark before the meeting as to the method of procedure and the extent of the programme. One thing was considered certain; that the date of evacuation would be the first matter discussed. Other topics which it was expected would be taken up were the order in which the Spanish troops should move, the opening of ports to admit relief supplies, the clear- ing of the districts of Spanish soldiers, the abrogating or modifying of the orders of concentration so that the Cu- bans can go to work and defining the property to be relinquished and to be taken to Spain by the Spanish troops. The session has every prospect of be- ing a lengthy one, progress being slow on account of the necessity of employ- ing interpreters. The probability is that each side will want separate confer- forty feet each, and tracks ences on various points brought up. hnlhy narrow and broad gauge cafrosl.- The Americans intend to insist on| There is also a wagon road on either side of the track and passenger walks.
