When about three miles from shore the

Mr.. Risum and Mr.. Drackrey clung to
the capsized boat for almost five hours,
the latter holding the child in his arms,
when they were rescued by parties from

for help. The bodies Of the other six

each other.
The Northwest left Buffalo bound for
Cleveland, with the City of Buffalo,
for the same place, 10 minutes behind
her. The City of Buffalo arrived here
an hour and half before the North

Leaders at Chicago Preparing
Plans for the Approach

Will Discuss the Platform and

Candidates.
Friends of Blackburn to Meet
and Take Steps to Push
His Boom.

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Har-
ris left today for Chicago to be present
at the Democratic silver conference
which will be held there beginning
Tuesday next under the auspices OF the
Democratic Bimetallic organization. He
is chairman of this organization, and
has been since it was instituted in this
city year ago.
The purpose of the ante-convention
meeting is to so solidify the silver or
ganization as to render it thoroughly
effective in the execution of the plans
of the silver leaders in the convention
and to also prevent the encroachment
OF the gold forces. 1t has been their
purpose to
Discuss the Platform to BE Adopted
and also to consider the availability of
candidates. There has been much COR
respondence bearing upon these two
points. The plan has been to keep can
didates in the background until the
conference could be held, with the view
Of having the conference free to choose.
This has proved impracticable and it is
understood that the leaders in the moye-
ment fear that they will be unable to
control in this matter as they had at
one time hoped they might do. They
still hope, however, to be practically
able to make the platform before the
convention meets.

London Times Sizes Up the American Po-
litical Outlook.
LONDON, June 29.--The Times says in
an editorial on American politics and
the outlook in the United States on the
currency question: 1--WE are not sure
that party platforms are SO important,
because when the president is elected he
becomes a free agent in safer and
stronger position than British premier.
Therefore, it is not certain that Mr..
Mckinley will oppose the popular will,
if congress should send him bill for
free silver.
"We trust, therefore, for the credit
of the United States, either that Mr..
Whitney's gold campaign will succeed
or that the triumph of the silverites at
Chicago will not be followed by tri-
umph at the final poll"
