SEARCHING FOR DEAD.
Divers Hunt For Corpses In Submerged
llulkS of Steamers.
AWFUL SACRIFICE OF HUMAN LIVES.
Forty Bodies Have Been Recovered
and the Number of Victims Is
Estimated at TWO Hum
drcd-ThrlllIng Stories.

Now York, July 2.-About 2:3o p. m.
diver ON the Saale reported that he
had discovered eight on that ship. One
of these men was on the main deck
and the head and feet had been burned
to n crisp. The seven other bodies
were found in the gangway leading
from the steerage.
Now York, July 2.-The partially
submerge hulks OF the huge North Ger
man Lloyd steamers, Saale. Brennan
and Main, lie smoking in the upper bay
and North river apparently as thor
oughly wrecked as the Spanish cruis-
ers that venturcd out OF Santiago har-
Dor two years ago.
The remains of the huge North Ger
man Lloyd piers in EoDoken are still
burning and tiremen are throwing wat
er upon the embcrs, but nothing re-
mains to be saved. Charred logs, sec
lions of planking, some half burned
scows and lighters and other wreckage
are drifting about the upper and lower
bays, compelling steamers to pick their
way with caution, to save their screws
and paddles. The frs started in some
cotton on the piers on Saturday after
noon.
1t is not yet possible to state accur-
ately the number of the dead, but the
first reports of the fire, which repre-
scented the steamers and the piers as
containing many visitors and prospect
i've passengers. are not borne out by
investigation and it seems likely that
nearly all of the victims of the dis
aster were employed in some capacity
by the steamship company. However,
the loss of life is appalling. Forty
bodies have been recovered, numbers
are missing, and no estimate of the
number of dead now falls below 200.
OF many of the dead no trace will ever
he found, their bodies having been re-
duced to ashes. Nearly all of the mem
bers OF the crews had their homes in
Germany, and news of the disaster Will
carry sorrow to many fireside in the
FatherIand. No missing, except those
employed about the steamers, have
been reported to the police or to the
company.
Most of the estimates of the loss do
not fall below $1000O,00O.
Along with the stories of heroic res

cue come others of greed and disregard
of human life. John Lupth, a painter,
employed in decorating the first cabin
of the Saale, was alarmed by the CRY of
fire and rushed from the cabin to the
deck, just in time to see a great sheet
of flame sweep over the forward part
of the vessel and envelop Captain
Mirow, who was standing between the
bridge and the fore hatch, giving or

For Free Coinage.

Charleston Gazette.
Prior to the Republican Conven-
ton in 1896, the rank and file of
the Republican party were for the
free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer, at the ratio of is to !. They
did not know any better until Han
ma appeared there as the supreme
dictator of the party with a plat
form declaring for international
bimetallism. Hanna afterward adj
mitted that not leading campaign
speaker could be sent out on the
platform because every one of them
had been making campaign
speeches in favor of silver
This proves that the platform
of 1896 was not the handi-work
of the party, but rather of the
bosses. In the currency bill which
the Republican party passed only
a few months ago, the party still
adheres to the international BIZ
metallism idea. The bosses were
still afraid that the rank and file
were not sufficiently drilled and
seasoned to take the single gold
standard without any silver trim
mings. But at Philadelphia the
bosses conferred another degree on
the party by giving them the gold
standard outright The platform
was prepared at Washington in adj
vance without consulting the rank
and file of the party. If there had
been any change of sentiment
against the platform of 1896, or
from tho currency bill of 1900, the
bosses did not know it. They pro-
posed to make it the platform of
the party whether or not it was the
sentiment of the party. And they
did.

Campaign Year.

The glorious campaign season is
rapidly approaching and it won't
be many weeks now until torch
light parades and plain DRINKS and
plug hats and plug politicians will
be tho order of things. Campaign
year is critical time in the history
of our nation. 1t is the time when
vast responsibilities arc thrust up
on us and arguments, both verbal
and physical can be seen on every
hand. 1t is the time when many
patriots are moved to tears and to
profanity and to Jail. 1t is the
time when some politicians arc
kept busy lodging the issues,
while others are kept busy lodging
booIlers and brickbats; and the
man with one idea and three drinks
gets out on the street and makes
more noise than local freight. 1t
is the time when man dwells on
an empty argument one moment
aud all empty store box the next,
while his wife is at home doing
plain sowing for the neighbors 1t
is a time when man leaves home
in the morning full of hopo and
cheer and is carried back Mt night
full of bad whiskey and buokshot,
Yes, campaign time is Il grand and
glorious intellectual feast, when
nearly Everybody gets out and
whoops and whoops and squenls
whether they know what they are
doing it for or not.

China.
Philadelphia Times.
Every true American will read
the story of tho slaughter of our
marines at the gates of Pekin with
indignation and rage, not against
the Chinese, who are defending
their country from invasion and
fighting to maintain the integrity
of their soil from spoilation by the
great powers of Europe, but
against the administration atWash-
ington, which has unlawfully, by
an act of imperial usurpation, seut
American troops to make war on
foreign country.
The Chinese, i'll opposing with
all their might the soldiers of the
powers who are invading their
country on the pretense of defend
ing their citizens from mob, are
doing just what we or any other
civilized nation would do. AT
various times the lives of citizens
of other countries have been sacri-
feed to mob fury in this country,
but had King Humbeft, Emperor
Joseph or Kaiser William sent an
army here to defend or protect his
subjects we would have killed
every man that he landed, and it
would not have been murder, but
righteous war. We have no more
right TO send troops to China than
Queen Victoria has to send her
soldiers to ST. Louis if English
mems lives are imported there; but
if it we're necessary to declare war
in China the President has no
right to do it.
We can have and will have no
part in the partition of China. We
have no business there. England
hns sent her troops and warships
there to prevent Russia from got
ting too great an advantage,and the
administration at Washington is
helping England in pursuit OF
of some actual or implied agree
ment. This is humiliating enough,
but worse still is the fact that in
doing this the President has COM
mitted an act of outrageous usur.
patton which would be indefensi-
BILE in a constitutional monarchy,
and is worthy only of the Gar of
Russia or the Shah of Persia.
For no greater offense against con-
stitutional government George Ill
lost an empire and Charles l. his
head.
No matter what Mr.. McKinley's
motives may be, his usurpation OF
the prerogatives of Congress can
not be too quickly or too strongly
condemned. If he can override
the constitution under any pre-
tense whatever without being call.
ed sharply to account, any other
President can do the same and
send troops'into foreign country,
involve us in war, just or unjust,
overriding the liberties of the peo-
plo and paving the way for the
overthrow of the government.
Let Mr.. Mckinley take warming
The blood of every American SOL
der slain II China is on his head,
and the Americrn Nation will de-
mand a reckoning from him for
this and every unlawful and un-
constitutional act.

Pittsburg Post.
In noting that the sugar trust,
by its recent turn of tho trust screw,
had advanced the price of sugar to
American consumers $4,0O0,0O0 we
we're far from doing justice to the
rapacity of that Republican insti-
tuition. 1t referred to only one adj
vance, and that tho recent one.
The fact is that in the last five
weeks the trust has advanced the
price by six arbitrary raises. The
sugar war is over and the trust has
the field. These advances have all
been the same-that is, 10 cents a
hundred pounds each, footing up
60 cents, or groos advance of
moro than half cent pound.
This means that the people of the
United States will pay to the sugar
refiners at the rate of $3O,OOO,OOO a
year more for their sugar than when
the present combine was made.
This money doesn't go to the men
who work in the refineries, but is
absorbed in the pockets of the trust
magnates. The fight between the
Havenmeyers and the Arbuckles
lasted 20 months. The losses on
both sides were estimated at $15,-
100000. The Arbuckles first
touched bottom, and gave the bat
tie up some weeks ago, and an
agreement was then reached which
gives tho Havenmeyers the field
and enables them to establish the
price. Then came the six advances,
amounting in the aggregate to $780,
100000. Sugar, like coal, oil, wire,
etc, is an ideal article for trust ma.
nipulation. It's consumption is
enormous, estimated in the United
States at 5000 millions of pounds
year. The New York journal
presents in this graphic statement
Just how much the sugar trust has
piled up profits:
Arbitrary raise in the price Of
sugar, due to the combine" g.
10 of cent per pound.
Annual consumption of sugar in
tho United States, 5,00O,OOO,0OO
pounds.
Increase in the profits of the re,
fnories annually, $4O,OOO,OOO
Loss to the refneries by the
Trust Arbuokle war, Sl5,OOO,OOO.
Which will all be got back in six
months.
Raise in wages of these refiner-
les employees, because of increased
prosperity, not one cont.
Number of persons thrown out
of employment through the com.
bination, 5000.
Sugar Barons annual tax on
every man, woman and child in
the United States, 40 cents.
This is in addition to the regular
more or less legitimate profits pre-
viously made by the trust.
This is what Mark Hanna and
his Republican Congress call "the
natural expansion ola Legitimate
business. The remedy they pro-
posed of belated mock amend
ment to the constitution was adj
ding insult to injury, The way it
was tondered was an insult and
contempt of public intelligence
Waiting until six months SEES
sion of Congress was within five
days of edjourning they came for
ward with their sham remedy.

Pittsburg Post.
Tho report of the board of State
engineers for Louisiana, giving
operations for the past two years,
has Just been printed, and is of in
terest to those who watch the de-
velopment of the waterways of the
South. The State is now divided
into thirteen lcvee districts and the
entire river front of Louisiana, in
Guiding not only the Mississippi,
but tho Red, the Atchafalaya, and
Lafourche. arc now looked after by
the district boards. The first of
the boards, for the Tensas district,
was created in 1886, and the others
were marked out in the interval up
to 1898 BY the creation of these
districts, with power to levy taxes
and issue bonds, it has been posi-
bio to raise large sums of money
for levee building, and the total
amount spent on levees today in
this ono State reaches two millions
of dollars year. In the past two
years 81 miles of levee have been
built at cost of $3,O00,OO0, the
State contributing $2,400,000, and
the United States $1,586,1S7 In
addition to building 90 miles of
levee, $50 miles have been enlarged.
The past two years have been the
most active and prosperous in
levee work in Louisiana ever known.
During the two years the crevas-
ses occurring have been insignifi-
cant. This leveo work has added
more to the productive capacity of
the Southwest in the production of
the great staples cotton and sugar
than the hundreds of millions we
have expended on the Filipino
war, to say nothing of tho thous-
ands Of lives sacrificed. Mr.. Nc
Kinley's bill for his cruel and
needless war amounts to more to-
day than it would cost to slack
water the Ohio from Pittsburg to
Carlo, or promote irrigation in tho
arid States, to an extent much
greater than all the territory valu-
able to Americans that we have &C
CURED in the Philippine war. To
be sure we have had the glory
But will someone figure out tho
glory we have achicveved by maxi
ing war on the Philippines? Not
glory, but disgrace and dishonor
have been tho outcome Where is
the glory of giant hammering
dwarf?
