A Victoria, b. c., dispatch of
May 20 says:
A crowded electric car went
through Point Ellice bridge into
an arm of Victoria bay, near here,
today. II is believed that more
than eighty persons were on the
car and most of these perished.
SO far sixty. one bodies have been
recovered, but more are probably
in the wreck. Most of those who
escaped were either on the plat
forms or on the roof of
the car. The excursionists
were bound for the scene of

overcrowdcd all forenoon. Every
car was full, not only inside, but

the accident happened contained

The car reached, Point Ellice
bridge and was about half way
across when the middle span of
the bridge, about 100 feet in
length, gave way, and the car
plunged into the water forty feet
below.
lhe car was completely sub
merged, and all ON board were

those who were sanding on the

HILL NOW FAVORS 1T
Considers a Third Ticket a
Necessity.
HIS COURSE FINALLY DECIDED
viii Actively Oppose the Bryan Ticket
at SaratOga-The Nomination suits
Tammany.

New YORK, July Ex-senator Hill is
now in favor of a third ticket. This IN
formation comes direct from personal
friend of the sanator, who is a prom
inent Democrat. The action of the
Populis5 convention at st. Louis is what
seems to have caused Hill to come to a
decision as to his course. The position
of the senator is thus outlined by the
friend in question:
"Mr. Hill has been between two fires
from both factions of the party for some
time. He could not indorse the Chicago
platform, nor could he advocate the
election of any candidate who stood
upon it. The st. Louis Populist conven-
tion only served to widen the breach be-
tween the sound money and silver wings
of the party, making it impossible to
bridge, as the Western Democrats had
practically affiliated with the Populists
in everything but name.
"You will find that when the Saratoga
state convention meets Hill will be
against the Bryan ticket. The New
York senator is simply following in the
footsteps of Flower, Whitney, Lamont
and other eminent leaders in the EN-.
pire state
Senator Hill himself continues non
committal, and the state committee
which meets at the Hoffman house to-
day, will merely decide, it is said, to cal
the convention at Saratoga without in.
dicating any line of policy.
All doubt as to Tammany's intention,
concerning the Chicago ticket and plat.
form has been set at rest by the issue o
call for meeting of the executive
committee Friday to arrange details fol

RopuI1SG rarity"
New York, July 2S.-Thomas F. Wat
son, candidate for vice. president on the
Populist ticket, in a telegram from
Thomason, Ga, says:
''Our executive committee must de-
eide the question of dividing the elect
ors. If Bryan accepts our nomination
and SewaIl should retire, the Texan Pop
ulists would probably be content with
Bryan and Watson, even though Bryan
did not indorseNall the platform.
''I was absolutely sincere when said
1 would not accept either place on the
Populist national ticket. 1 thought our
party would have no difficulty in naming
a straight-out Populist ticket, and 1 did
not desire either place. 1 stayed away
from the convention partly to avoid
prominence, and the Georgia delegation
had positive instructions not to allow
the use of my name. After the conyen-
tion met and the fusion strength de-
veloped, it seemed that our party would
be swallowed up by the Bryan forces,
and to have gone into the presidential
campaign with no hope en- the national
ticket meant death to the Peoples party.
The Georgia delegation then telegraphed
me, urging me TO allow the use of my
name to harmonize the factions and
save the party. 1 consented and will
abide by the consequences. When I
said I would not accept did not dream
that such crisis could possibly come
