The Delegation to St. Louis Will
Favor BRYAN and SeWafI.

LANSING, July 16.-The State Silver
Convention met here to-day. About $50
delegates were present, including Green
hackers, Populists, Democrats and Re
publicans.
Major Walker of Ionia County was
made Permanent Chairman. He said he
had been a Republican up to the assem-
bling of the Chica go convention, but was
now no longer an adherent of that party,
because of his belief that silver should
be restored as money metal at the
ratio of 16 to 1, and he asked all lovers
of their country to unite with him in
some arrangement whereby all silver
men could be brought to the support Oh
one candidate for President and Con-
gTess.
The report Of the Committee on Res
olutions acclaimed against the gold
standard as producing stagnation of in
dustry, the heaping up of enormous in
terest charges on the Government, the
issuing of bonds in time of peace, the
heaping up of wealth in the hands of
the few, the inpoverishment of the peO-
PIE, the increase of taxes and the obliga-
tons of debtors, and concludes as fol-
lows:
Therefore, we, the Bimeta1lsts of
Michigan, in convention assembled,
hereby resolve that we favor the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and gold
at the ratio of 16 to /, as it existed pre-
vious to 1873 by the United States, in
dependent of any other nation, and all
money minted or issued by the Govern
ment to be full legal tender in payment
OF all debts, public and private; the
Government to exercise the option to
redeem its obligations in either silver or
gold as may be most convenient
I'VE also favor the enactment of law
that will prohibit the making of con-
tracts that discriminate against any
money issued by the Government"
The Committee on Permanent Organ
ization recommended the name of Ma
tional Silver party and the appointment
or committees in conformity with the
other national parties.
The State Central Committee was in
structed to confer with the Democratic
and Populist parties relative to taking
united action on nominations for State
legislative and county tickets
The following delegates atlarge to ST
Louis were elected: John McElrath, O.
l.. G. Watkins, E. A. Reynolds, Charles
Fl. Mckinley, FL. E. Light, G. j. Chad
dock, Douglas Rober.
Two delegates from each Congression-
al District were also elected. The dele
cation will favor the Endorsement of
Bryan and Sewall.

MAPPING OUT THE CAMPAIGN.
Meeting of the Executive Branch of the
National Republican Committee.

CLEVELAND (O.), July 16-The Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Republican
National Committee reassembled in
Hannas office this morning shortly af-
ter 10 o'clock. Major Mckinley could
not arrange his affairs so as to come
here, so the committee will visit him at
Canton, and will then separate, to go
to their several homes
1t is conceded by members of the COM
mittee that just now the silver senti-
ment is so widespread that great ne
ceSsity exists for immediate work to
counteract it and restrict it's further
growth. 1t is understood that a vigor-
Gus sixty-day campaign will be at once
instituted for the purpose of meeting
and combating the silver sentiment.
Hanna, Payne. Dawes, Durbin and
Heath will meet at the Auditorium, Chi
cago, on Monday next to map out the
work and actively enter upon it.
The committee practically closed its
session shortly after noon, although
several of the members remained with
Mr.. Hanna That gentleman, in re-
Spouse to requests for information, an
swered that he had nothing to say, and
the other committeeman were as reti-
cent.
At 3:15 the members left on the Val
ley road for Canton.

the fact that the ore gangs pay just so
that got on the less the cost to the pas
sengers.
The men mostly lived on Gauge street
and the scenes there were indescribable
The men, women and children ran about
screaming, and much disorder prevailed.
By IL O'Clock tonight fourteen bodies
have been recovered and taken TO the
various morgues.
Among those who were rescued was
Richard Masten, engineer of the new
steamer Sir Henry Bessemer, which was
lying at the ore dock. When he saw the
Boat was turning he jumped, but was
caught under the scow when it turned
over, and, working his way underneath
the boat, getting air by rising in the
overturned craft, he managed at last to
dive clear of the wreck and swan to his
own vessel and was pulled aboard. He
was the only passenger beside the ore
handlers.
There was an immense crowd soon
gathered on the banks of the river
watching the work of the boats conduct
Benlow, a pressman. In moving about
he lost his footing, fell into the river and
was drowned
The scenes enacted by the undertake1's
Were disgusting in the extreme. They
almost came TO blows in their anxiety TO
gain possession of the bodies, and the
police had to interfere in the interest Of
decency.

BRYAN'S NAME CHEERED.
The Republican BimefaIIic League OF
Minnesota IndOrSeS Him.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 16.-The Expo
sition building, the scene of many
great gathering, was filled tonight with
an audience larger than any it has held
since the National Republican Conven-
ton in 1892. The occasion was a ratifi-
cation meeting held under the auspices
OF the Republican Bimetallic League of
Minnesota, and at the conclusion of the
State Convention held to-day, at which
delegates We're present from all parts of
the State Addresses were made by
Congressman Townsend, Hon. Frank M
Nye, brother of the late "Bill' Nye, and
several others. The silver addresses set
the vast audience wild with enthusiasm,
and the name of Bryan as the candidate
ct all the people regardless of political
parties received a tremendous ovation.
The convention in the afternoon elect
ed thirty delegates to the ST. Louis Con-
vention. Hon. John Lind was nom
mated for Governor. William J. Bryan
was also indorsed by the convention

POPULIST STRICKLER'S VIEWS.
Thinks the ST. Louis Convention Will
Indorse Bryan.

OMAHA, July 16.-V Q. Stricken. a
member of the National Committee of
the PopuliSt party, was seen to-day by
United Press reporter and asked as
to the course his party would pursue
at st. Louis. He said: II believe that
the nominee of the Chicago Convention
will be Endorsed at St Louis. 1t is the
only thing the party can do. The nom
ination of a separate ticket would re-
suit in dividing the silver vote. and be
directly In the interests of Mckinley and
the gold standard. Such a course would
demonstrate that the Populists are
more loyal to their party than to the
principles for which the party stands.
L know that there are many true and
noble men in the Peoples party who
had confidently expected that financial
reform would come through that organ
ization, but do not believe that there is
any man in the party who is so selfish
as to oppose that reform merely because
it does not come through his own party.
Ihere Is no personal sacrifice which
they would not make in order to obtain
relief from the terrible blight of gold
monometallism.
To my mind 1t would be worse than
folly 10 nominate separate ticket No
man OF recognized standing in the party
could be induced to accept the nomina-
ton. 1t would be an empty honor. I
therefore believe that wisdom and patrf-
otism alike dictate that all persons who
are opposed to the single gold standard
should subordinate every other eonsid-

Capsizes While Crossing the Old River
Channel.
Fourteen Bodies Thus Far Recovered,
and a Number of People Reported
Missing The Accident Due to a
Panic Among the Men on Board,
Who All Rushed to One Side to
Escape the Wave Rushing Over 1t
Caused by Passing Vessel.

CLEVELAND, July 16.-The most APP
in Cleveland, excepting only the Vfaduct
horror last winter, when a loaded street
car plunged 100 feet into the river oc-
CURED tonight at O'clock While a
fiat-bottomed ferry boat loaded with
between forty and fifty laborers was
crossing the old river channel it was
capsized and all the men thrown into
the channel, and between fifteen and
twenty drowned.
The bodies found thus far are those
of Charles Spreeke, married, seven
children; William Saunders, married,
one child; August Hasten, married
Michael Lynch, Fritz Bortels, Chris
Gerlach, - Prokup, Charles Bohermeis-
ter, married; julius Erkpe, married,
Chris Gheren, married; unknown man
at Gallagher's morgue; unknown man
at Hogan & Sherers morgue; Charles
Kraus, widower, three children; Ed
ward Ryan, married.
The accident was due to a panic
among the men on board. The boat was
loaded until the gunWale was only three
inches above the water and a. passing
tug made waves which came into the
boat. AT once there was a rush to the
other side, and the boat went under.
The men were members of a gang of
ore handlers and were coming home
from work. The scene in the river was
one of a wild struggle for life. Men
grappled with each other and went down
in their fierce struggle, While cries for
help struck horror to the souls of wit
nesses. Lines and life preservers were
thrown from the tug and the steamer
Landon, which was also passing, and
many were pulled aboard. Others of the
urfortunates were rescued by small
boats, and some SWAN ashore.
The life saving crew was summoned,
and the work of searching for the bodies
at once began. Within short time
seven of the unfOrtunates We're brought
to shore and taken to the morgue for
Identification. Those who escaped scat
tered in every direction, and it is uncer-
tain just how many lives were lost.
Twenty men are reported missing, and
the dragging of the channel is still in
progress.
The crowding of the boat was due to

DETROIT, July 16.-The polishers

company would not come to an agree

locked out some weeks ago. The works
employ about 900 men, and they may
all be affected if a settlement is not
reached soon. superintendent Crowley,

First Methodist Church.

Great throngs greeted the appear
ance of the gifted divine, Rev. d. G,
Kelley, of Bell Buckle, who came
out at the request of ladies of the
Methodist Missionary Society, to
fill the pulpit at the First Methodist
church both morning and evening.
His sermons were appropriate to the
occasion; and both congregations
were delighted and edited. There
is some talk of this congregation
making a strong effort by petition to
have DR.. Kelley brought here next
year.
The church was decorated most
beautifully with palms, evergreens
and flowers. The subject of the
mornings discourse was "Woman's
work in the church." The central
thought was that Gods unit is "a man
and woman-two essential parts of a
