New YORK, July 1.-The losses sus-
tanned in the fire at the North German
Lloyd Steamship Company docks at Ho-
boken yesterday are now conservatively
placed at nearly $40 900 900; the loss of
life, merely guesswork at even this late
hour, will reacn probably as high as 200
and there are over 800 men in the hospi-
tails in this city, Hoboken and Jersey City
badly burned. Up to II O'Clock today rs
bodies have been recovered. Eleven of
these were placed in row i'll the morgue
in this city and numbered, this being the
only means the authorities have of main
tanning any identity over the corpses, as
they are SO badly charred and dismem-
bered that Identification will be made
only by trinkets or pieces Of clothing
that were found about the bodies.
The only way the steamship officials
have of approximating the loss of life is
by comparing the list of those reported
safe with the list of employees on the
steamships. Late tonight Gustav
Schwab, the general agent of the North
German Lloyd line, gave out a list show.

speak at the Methodist church last night
OH the subject of prohibition. In the
course of his address to large congre-
cation present, and while throwing out
challenges to the audience that he was
not making third party speech reached
the climax by stating that, "Wm. Nc

At this juncture Rev. Skipworth arose
and informed the young man that he had

Silver The Contention.

KANSAS CITY, June 3o.-About the
hotels there is already briskne and
moving throngs of familiar convention
faces. A number of the old line demo-
Gratis who have been going to conventions
for years and the younger men who be-
long to the "new democracy" have arriv-
ed and taken up the work in hand. Sew
eral boomers of e-presidential candi-
siderable noise. Delegates are dropping
from different sections and the meeting
of the subcommittee on convention ar
rangements attracted quite knot of
men about the national committee head
quarters. The most interesting topic,
that which gives the democrats here the
most concern, is the promised contest
over the I6 to plank of the platform.
The utterances of men like National
Chairman Jones, William J. Stone and
other western and southern leaders, to-
gether with the action of western and
southern conventions in their platforms,
would seem to indicate that a simple re-
affirmation of the Chicago platform is all
that would be necessary. Such action
under ordinary circumstances would be
apt to be accepted as the probable action
of the national convention, but the re-
ports from Lincoln indicate that I6 to /
must be specifically declared if the views
of Mr.. Bryan are TO be followed.
Chairman Jones said that the declara-
tion on silver should not vary the breadth
of hair from that marked in the Chi,
cago platform and he thinks a reaffirma.
ton is sufficient. The breadth of hair
however, is still too wide for some and
they favor splitting the hair, and es
pecially if the Chicago platform is to b.
the test. The extreme silver men insis
a reaffirmation will be a concession. Gole
men and others who have returned to th'
party say such concession is sufficient
So the hair of which Senator Jones spok'
seems to be wide enough to cause livel.
contest when the platform is considered
