THE CITY OF THE DEAD.
Many of Red Wings Loved Ones
Borne Thereto.

RED WING. Mimi, July 15.-When
the rescuers who were taking out the
dead bodies of the victims of the Sea
Wing disaster at Lake City Sunday
night reached the cabin they found
clasped in its mothers arms and
held to the breast that nour-
ished it the infant child of John
Schoeffler, of this city. Ten
derly the mother and child were lifted
from the wreck and placed In the long
row of the dead, none desiring to with
draw the seemingly sleeping infant
from the protecting and sustaining arms
of her to whom the child was but just
beginning to look as its best and dear
still are. Where they now lie they
are alongside their husband and father
and the baby's child SiSter-and all are
in the German Lutheran cemetery about
two miles west of town. The same
cemetery to-day received the bodies of
the eight members of the Gerken fam
lily. Herman Hemftling and his bride
were buried from the German Lutheran
church and their bodies are now in
tered in the same cemetery. Their
aunt, Mrs. Fred Hempftling, and her
son Fred and daughter Lizzie, were
buried in the beautiful Oakwood GEM
etery on hilltop to the south of the
city, where large number of others
were buried last night and to-day. The
Catholic cemetery is beyond Oakwood,
and still others now lie there. 1t was a
mournful day and the sight OF the fu-
neral procession was a sadly common
event, but the sharpness of the grief Of
the bereaved and the sympathy of all
others increased rather than lessened.
Altogether, forty-four of the dead were
solemnly and sadly carried to the cities
of the dead and laid beneath the
sod by reverent hands amid falling
tears. The black which draped the
fronts of all the business houses, and
the Grape that hung on SO many door
knobs, the oppressively sad quiet of the
city and the sober gait of even the most
light-hearted boys, the tears of the be-
reaved women. and the tightly
drawn lips Of the strong men
were but the visible evidences
of the great grief which all
felt and of the mourning hearts of the

WASHINGTON. July 15.-The presh

considering the proposition advocated
by several prominent army officers foi
the abolition of the present system OF
division commands and to have military
affairs administered hereafter through
department commands. 1t Is argued
that the present system is cumber5
unnecessary display in the transmission
and consideration of official papers. In
case the change is made, a major gem
eral will be placed in command of each

Atlantic and the Pacific, and the inte,

report direct to Maj. Gen. Schofeld,

NO VIOLENCE SHOWN.
Why the Coroner's jury Did Not
Act.

Act.
Special to the Globe.
RED Wing, Minn., July 15.-Con-
stable Lundquist appeared before the
coroner's jury and identified the money.
pocketbook and papers found on the
body of A. o. Anderson, of BuX-
ton, S. D. The jury wished to
see County Attorney F. M. Will
son regarding legal points in con-
nection with the case, and when
that official finally appeared the pro-
ceedings were stopped in a rather uneX-
pected manner. He asked the coroner
to read the statute covering the hold
ings of inquests, which provides that the
coroner shall act only where there are
marks of violence on the body, and not
In case Of casualty, and then he
explained his opinion. If there
were no marks of violence
on this particular body, no inquest
could be held. He believed that in the
munity it would at least be advisable
for the coroner to inves tigate. He as
sured the members of the jury as
private citizens that they could feel
confident that the TumorS about the man
agement would not be forgotten, but
that the grand jury would examine care
fully and thoroughly, and if any blame
attached to the captain or others they
wocld not be forgotten. The jury acted
on his decision, and the coroner dis
missed them. The coroner said ne had
acted according to what he thought was
his duty, but that if the law was other
wise he would, of course, submit. Mr..
Wilson repeated his explanation,
and the jury concluded that there
was nothing for them to do.
The custom in this county is that the
grand jury is always held subject to
call, and can be brought together within
a few hours for action upon any impor-
tant case, the submission of which to
the judge will generally bring about
such results. The body of Rikka
Vieths, aged thirteen, was found late
this afternoon along the shore below
Lake City. The body was brought to
this city tonight.

Ian. the chairman of the congressional

Ian, the chairman of the congressional
committee, will not be present, some
say, on account of pressing business
which commands his attention in St.
Paul. Others, and by far the greater
number, incline to the belief that Mr..
McClelland is out of harmony with the
high tariff ideas of Mr.. Hall and his
followers, and has properly left the
city to avoid being party to what the
convention may do. If this be true a
harder blow could scarcely be struck
the candidate who will be placed in the
field. Mr.. Mcclellan has been life
long Republican and always hard
worker for the success of the party.
The federal OfficilS who are now as
sembling in great numbers may cause
Mr.. Hall to feel hopeful, but the steady
current of prominent Republicans flow
ing away from him at present cannot
fail to have an effect upon even his
very sanguine temperament.
Enthusiasm is the lack of the hour
among the delegates who have so far
assembled in this little city to go through
with the nomination of Congressman
''Dar" S. Hall at noon tomorrow. In
deed so great is the dissatisfaction with
his course in congress among the peo-
pie of the Third district that it now
seems likely that but small portion of
the sixty-five delegates to which the
eleven counties in the district are en-
titled under the call will deign to be
present at the convention. Tariff re-
form is the all-discussed subject on all
sides among farmers and business men
alike, and it is freely predicted that the
nomination which will go to Mr.. Hall
without opposition will carry sure de-
feat with it. The detection of Judge
Adams, of Hutchinson. who. although
elected delegate to the Mcleod county
Republican convention, which indorsed
Mr.. HalPs course in congress, had
the courage to come out and de-
clare that he was not at the con-
vention in question and ''could not in
dorse the course of any member of con-
gress who voted for the iniquitous Nc
Kinley tariff bill," Is having its full
