Bottom of Chicago River.
CHICAGO, Ill.,, Sept. 24.-The old
whaleship Progress, which has been
tied up for months at the State Street
bridge, was run in by sand scow this
afternoon and sunk. The scow was
being towed up the river, and owing to
bad management of those in charge
was allowed to sheer off when passing
the Progress. The scow crushed into
the bow of the old whaleship, cutting a
hole two feet square in the planking,
just at the water line. The ship filled
at once and listed over to the
port side. At the time of the collision
there were 200 school children on board
the vessel. inspecting the museum.
The crash startled them, and VIII en- the
water began pouring in terrible panic
ensued. Fortunately the sailors in
charge we're stout of lungs and arm.
Shouting to the little ones foreman
quiet, rs there was no danger, the sail
ors began passing them hurriedly up the
companion-way, where they soon made
their way to the wharf. The last of the
party had barely reached the dock
when the old ship, which had been
gradually filling with water, settled
down to the river bottom, leaving only
the upper deck bare. The exciteme mt
during the transfer of the children to
the shore was intense.
The scow that ran into the Progress
was in tow of the tug Munson of the
Vessel Owners Towing Company. Tie
expressions of satisfaction that were
made by vesse. men when they heard
OF the sinking of the boat led to the re-
port that the collision was Intentional.
The Progress has been in the way of
tugmen ever since she was tied up at
the State Street bridge.

Duluth Bribery Case.
DULUTH, Mimi, Sept. 23.-The grand
jury to-day brought in it's report on the
recent allegations of bribery in the city
council. 1t was unable to fix the charge
of bribery on any corporation, though
it is the sentiment of the members of
the Jury that the Duluth & Northeastern
Railway & Terminal Company could
tell a good deal about it if it would.
The report, however, goes at length in
to the contract under which the city
printing is this year being done, and
roundly scores the aldermen, the may
or and the city attorney for allowing
such q deal to 90 through.

expected tonight by the midnight train.
The city is gaily decorated with arches,

If OStfOm gets half Of their votes he will be

orally accepted that Stephen M. White of

the delegates to support the most available
candidate at Chicago.
District conventions to nominate delegates
will be held during the recess of the main
convention tomorrow Little interest is
being taken in these tonight
Congressman are also to be nominated in
the several districts, but these probably will
not be chosen until Wednesday, or even
later.
The country delegates seem inclined to in
yestgate the state Of political affairs in San
Francisco, and there may be s0me lively
times in the committee en- credentials, but it
is not probable that the fight will be trans
feTTed to the floor Of the convention.

of $4,000 for detecting persons guilty of

Retrenchment and reform was the text

asks for the Endorsement of the work Of
the Traffic Association, but the interior
holds back and declines to look at
it in that way unless it can be
shown more potent arguments than
have thus far been brought into play. From
the Sacramento, San Joaquin aud Santa
Clara valleys the cry goes up that the peo-
pie have nothing in common with the mer-
chants OF San Francisco, who have hired
Mr.. Leeds, and that they are not going to
take the chance of having their terminal
points abolished to suit a few dealers in
merchandise down at the bay Said a San
Joaquin delegate tonight:
I'VE don't care anything about the
Traffic Association, and see no reason why
we should be asked to give it a boost in a
political convention. We know up In
Stockton that under the present arrange
ments we can get a car of hams from
Chicago just as cheaply as can the San
francisco jobber. We don't care to take
the chance of losing what we have got.
This seems to voice the sentiment OF a
great big share Of the delegates from the
rural districts and is pretty strong indica-
tiOn Of what the result will be when the
issue is fairly jGined.
