The most important wurk of the tonvention up to toalay heti been more or less tentath'n, uwaltinne. the serutiny and final appro- t al of -Col, Iloteseeelt. The matter of the platform had par- ticularly been left in abeyance, and in Niew of Col, Roosevelt's statement upon ileaving, New 'York laet night, that the eottvention must accept itis views in full if he was to be the nominee, the con- vention leaders felt to -day they had been wise in not taking the matter up in any definite shape. Many of the delegates arc in favor of emulating the example of the national Prohibition party, and. making the plat- form the briefest sort of document, con- taining the advanced declarations of printeples in tabloid. form, devoid of all rhetorical embellishments. Col. Rooee- velt's ailltouncement, however, may nleinge all this, for his "confeesion of faith," which he declares must be ac- cepted in all cesential detaili s is publicly reported to contain more tlttin 20,000 trords. There appeared to be no question to - thy among the deleeates but that Col. Roosevent would get7whatever he want- ed at their hands. Hie nomination, has been depended upon to give the new party an auspicious start, and if he de- sires to run on a platform based on the .epecch whieh he asserts may be termed "anarchistic," the Progressives here are More than anxious to gtve it to him. Colonel Roosevelt will make hie "eon- fest:ion of faith" at the convention on Tuesday afternoon, following the for- malities of permanent organization. It *ad first been announced that he would speak to -night at the close of the firet day's work of the new party, but inas- much as S'enat or Beveridge, as tempor- ary chairman, was to be a central figure in today's proeeedings, ana had pre- pared a speech of some length it was proposed that Colonel Booeevelt with- itold Iii pronouneements until to-mor- Xow, 'The committee on platform was sche- duled to -day, but not to make a report until Wednesday.

Colonel Roosevelt hae insisted that hie speech precede the adoption of a platform. In anticipation of the arrival of Col- onel Roosevelt, during the early morn.

An outstanding feature of the pro- gressive convention is the number of women delegates who came to ett end. It was estimated to -day that there would be several eore of them seated. The convention leaders are entantraging the mOveinent to make a feature of the women delegates, including the parade of these delegates, echeduled to etart about 11 o'eloele from in front of the Art Institute itt Michigatt aretlite, and to Mkt With a triumphal entry into the eonvention hail with bands playing and banners waving their appeal for "Votes for Women." it j eertain, in view of what Colonel Roosevelt already has said on the subject, that the suffrage plank in the new platform will be a strong one, It is expected that a teuative plank on this subject has been written by Mre, Anna Shaw, National Preeident of the Suffrapttes. The programme of to -day's session in- cluded the convention to order by Senator Dixon, praying, reading the roll call, election of the temporary chairman, and the delivery by him of a keynote speech. Next will comethe appoint ment of committees and then an "experieue.e) meeting will be held, with delega.tes from every State expected to givehrtel- lv the reasons for the organization of the new party, and their personal ex- periences with the old organizations. Cot. Roosevelt arrived at 8.53 a.m. Ile was given an enthuelastic welcome and hurried to headquarters in the Congrese Hotel. The erowd cheered as the colonel atepped from the train, He was received by a delegation of Progreesives, headed by (leo. W. Perkins, and Governor John - eon, of California, The streets along the route weee lined with crowds, and as the colonel swept past cheer after Omer was raised. Standing in his automobile in front of the hotel Col. Roosevelt said: "I am very pleaeed to be with you in Chicago again, and. Ws time at the birth of a party, and not at the death of one. I am convineed that the people till trot stand for the convention of eeveu weeks ago, espeeially as it was against the interests of the people, By November the men nominated at that eonvention will not be a factor lit the race.

Rome, Aug. 4. ---Shattering the widely. accepted belief, in which he himself shared, that he would not live to cele- brate nine anniversaries of his eleva- tion to the Vatican throne, MS X. yes- ,. torday completed the ninth year of his Pontificate. The odd superstitioa that he would die before yesterday's anniversary was based, on the manner in which HiS netse' entire life has been divided into nine-year period'. .Ae plain Giuseppe Sarto he was ordained a priest in 1858 and served as a curate for nine years. Then followed his promotion to the post of parish priest at Salzano, where he re- mained for eine years as Chaneellor of his diceeee, nine as Bishop of Mantua, and nlue as Cardinal and. Patriarch° of Venice. So firmly was be convinced that this divisiou of his life would continue to the end that he frequently expressed to his friends the certainty he felt that nine years would terminate hie Pontifi- cate, a termination possible only with his death.

Ottawa, Aug. 4e -Arrangements are being made for the hearing by the Supreme Court of Canada at ita Oe- tober sittiugs or the companies Incov. poration case, to determine tho re- spective powers u Me Federal and Provincial authorities in regard to eouipany charters, The main points to be determined are whether a company incorporated by ono province can do business in another, and whether the provinces have the Inower to restrict the °per- ations or require the licensing or Federally incorporated concerns. A Provineial conference with a view of reaching an agreement on the question was held in Ottawa about two years ago, but no agreement could he arrived at. The Dominion Government then submitted a stated case to the Supremo Court, but Rs Jurisdictiou was attacked. In May last tho Privy council gave judgment upholding the ruling of the court as to its competency to act in the matter, and so the ORS° will now bo heard on its merits. The ease is of the utmost import- ance. If the Dominion contention that a provincially incorporated corn- PanY can do business only withitt the province is upheld, hundreds of con- cerns will have to be dissolved and seeks Federal charters. •-•-• VOTE OF CENSURE • Stormy Scenes in Turkish Parliament.
