WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Should later

rate the earlier news from st. Louis, IT IL
probable that the date OF the National

that all this can and will be repaired

ton IL circumstances justify II. Nothing

With the subject intelligently by night.
Chairman Carter also said that possibly
considerations other than the mere wreck
ing Of the hall would influence the COM
mittee. Whether or not the hotels, IN
view Of the general wrecking Of build
ings. would be able 10 take care of the
crowds, and the question of the ability oil
the railroads to properly handle the trai-
fc. would be considered
Mr. Carter also suggested that If the
city was within the next ten DAYS TO be
turned into a vast funeral procession. an7
thrown into general mourning over hum
dreds of victims of this appalling disaster
IL would be wise. perhaps, not to thrust
upon il a political convention, with al

II is quite probable. therefore, that th'
date of the convention may be changed

amount OF damage TO property is very
great. and It is impossible at this time TO

charity for shelter.

upon the country at large in this ex-
tremity, we feel utterly unable 20 supply
the absolute necessities of these afflicted
people. although our own citizens are put
