wyoming Aspirss to Statehood.

CHEYENNE, June 3.-Governor Warren
to-day issued proclamation for the cleo
ton on July 8, of delegates to the constitu-
tional convention. The governor, secre
tary and chief justice had previously di-
Yided the territory into districts and ap-
portioned the delegates among the same.
This action was taken in response to the
request of the commissioners of nearly all
of the counties in Wyoming, and is in ac-
cord with the views of the prominent citi-
zens without regard TO party. Wyoming
has the population, wealth and public in
telligence to entitle it to immediate admis-
sion, and its people will earnestly appeal to
Congress to that end.

Where the Bodies Are.

JoHNsTowN, June "a hundred bodies
are lying on the sand at Kernville this
afternoon. A crowd of 5000 is gathered
around trying to find the bodies of friends
or relatives. There are no collins there,
however. Five hundred collins are on the
way here, and the undertakers have sent
for 500 additional. Kernville from now on
will be the place where most of the bodies
will be found 1t is thought that most of
the bodies will be found under pile of
debris about an acre in length. Rain is
now falling, but does not interfere with
the work. Most of the rescuing party
have been up two days. The fire at the
bridge is almost eXtinguished, and the task
of getting at the bodies under the burning
debris will be commenced in earnest.

workmen.
The dam broke in the centre at 3 o'clock
Friday afternoon. At the lake was dry.
That great body of water had passed out
in ar hour. An effort was made to avert
the disaster by digging sluiceway on one
side to ease the pressure on the dam, but
without avail The water passed over the
dam about foot above its top, beginning
at $3.50. Whatever happened in the way of
cloudburst took place during the night.

shot into midair in great columns
Then the wave started down the rayine.
In the whole south fork there is not tree
standing. Rescuing parties are at work on
the mass of unknown wreckage in the
river, finding bodies and fragments at the
rate of ten to fifteen an hour. In other
parts of the submerged districts, many
bodies are being taken out. A careful esti-
mate at this time of the bodies recovered
everywhere, puts it seven hundred to eight
hundred. The total loss OF life will GER
tainly be six thousand to eight thousand
