Seattle, Wash, May 27.-On the
steamer Rosalie which arrived from
Victoria this afternoon were 101 sor-
rowful looking excursionists, the hor-
rors of the catastrophe Tuesday being
kept wildly before them by the pres
ence of a corpse. The steamer had
started from Victoria. One was that
of r. w. Murray of this city. People
up there don't seem to know anything
more about the accident than they do
down here" said Captain c. w. Ames
of the Rosalie. THE old building for
merly called Market Square and used
as a center for farmers coming in from
the country with produce, has been
turned into a morgue, and as fast as
the bodies are taken from the water
they are carried TO the enclosure. Up
to the time we left. about O'clock this
morning, 40 bodies had been recovered.
All the 40 had been identified. seine
has been stretched across the river TO
keep the ebbing tide from carrying
out the bodies. and they are using the
steam power of pile driver to work
the drags. Estimates made by people
there place the number remaining in
the water all the way from IS TO 100
IL will probably be some time before
all are taken out, and probably some
will never be found. The festivities
have all been stopped and the whole
town is like one great morgue. Men
and women with eyes full of tears go
running about the streets. circulating
from the river to the morgue and back
again."

Victoria, b. c., May 27.--It is believed
fully 200 persons were precipitated into
Victoria Arm yesterday by the collapse
OF the Point Ellice bridge and that
more than half of them persisted. The
car under the weight of which the
bridge fell had more than 100 passen-
gers and there were several carriages
and many foot pass eIgers on the
bridge. While many Veterans were
on the fatal car, the maJo~ity were Wis
itors and the work Of Identification is
consequently difficult Seven bodies
have been identified; there are osteIs
whose names cannot yet be ascertain
ed and still more undoubtedly, whose
bodies have not yet been recovered
from the water. Among the dead are
the following:
Mrs. J. A. Trout, Seattle: Sophia and

Soon boats and carriages came from
every direction, loaded with men who
began the work of rescuing those
in the water, and the un-
fortunates submerged i'm the car. The
fire department assisted materially.
The shrieks of men and screams of
women and children nerved the rescu-
ers to feats that endangered life and
limb. AS fast as the bodies were TAX

rection of physicians attempted to re-
suscitate them and in many cases were

Pittsburg. May 27.-Uproarious and
caustic in the extreme was the first
days session of the seventh national
prohibition convention. At least one
half the time the delegates were in
bedlam of confusion, and on several &C.
casions the presiding officer had to call
upon the band to play in order to quiet
the disorder 1t was a fight between
the broad guage, or free silver faction,
and the single issue. or gold standard
delegates from the East. The fight was
precipitated at both the morning and
afternoon sessions and things in gener-
al ran riot The free silver faction car
ried the day, however. and at 6 o'clock
this evening elected c. w. Stewart of
Illinois permanent chairman over A. A.
Stevens of Pennsylvania, who was
backed by the gold standard delegates.
Tonight the free silver faction is in
ecstacy of delight over the victory.
The fight tomorrow will be, to begin
with, over the platform. Elated with
victory, the free silver crowd is deter
mined TO carry through a broad guage
platform, while the opposition is quite
as determined II shall be a single issue
platform, declaring for prohibition
alone. Each faction claims a majority,
but from to-days fight it would seem
the factions are pretty evenly divided.

Indiana Free silver Democrats X volt.

Indianapolis. Ind, May 27.-More
than 100 free silver democrats, repre-
senting every district in the state, met
here and perfected an organization by
appointing an executive committee Of
II, of which Allen w. Clark of Greens
burg Is chairman. This action amounts
to an open revolt against the state CEN
trail committee. the majority of whose
members are gold standard men. The
conference appointed a committee to
prepare a manifesto to the free silver
democrats of Indiana. This manifesto
demands that the delegates large
and the district delegates to the Chi
cago convention shall be free silver
men and that no support shall be
given to any delegate or candidate for
office who does not favor free silver.
