The Danforth movement took on some
impetus when it became known that
Hill regarded him as best suited to go
with Bryan on straight out silver plat-
form.
MIR. Towne profted materially during
the day through the active work Of the
Nebraska delegation, who came IN wear
ing Bryan and Towne badges.
When James G DahIman, the next
national committee man from Nebraska
and close friend of Mr. Bryan was
asked if this meant that Bryan was for
Towne, he said:
II have talked with Mr.. Bryan recsnt-
" and I think his attitude could be
summed in about this way:
"He is not favoring any one candi-
date.
Mr.. Dahlman also gave definite assur-
ance of a dramatic climax to the nomi-
nation Of Mr.. Bryan by his appearance
on the floor of the convention for a speech

He could not form any exact estimate
doing all 1t could to get itself out of the
tangle. 1t sent money down to the docks
and dished it out to the survivors as If it
had been so much water. Over $14, 900 in
cash was given the men today and suits
of clothing, cheap but brand new and
clean was given to every man that asked
for them. Food and shelter were also
provided for the company's help. Supt
Meeler of the North German Lloyd line
late tonight returned from his trip to the
various vessels that lay in the river. Con-
cerning the general situation at this hour
he said:
"The steamship Bremen can be repaired
without a great outlay. She burned until
6 o'clock tonight when the last trickle of
flame was extingulshed.
The steamship. Main is still on fire
and is burning in holds No. and 8. I
believe the ship ill be total loss.
The Saale lies deep IN the water. The
wrecking boats started at work at her
right away and she will probably be float
ing in several days. Her port holes were
feut and water was pumped out Of her a S
fast as possible. She has raised about II
shet but is still SO far under that no esti-
mate can be made how badly she is
damaged. We cannot tell just how far
she is burned, but all above is practically
wrecked.
All of the steamers are now in charge
of the wrecking companies and they Of
course have Instructions to save as much
of the ship as they can. 1t is very hard
to tell now what our losses will amount
to.
''Today we found 81 bodies around the
piers up to 0 clock. Most of them, SC
far as my information goes tonight were
from the Saale.'

FIVE BODIES
Were Found in the Steamship saale
Yesterday

New York, July 2.-Five bodies of the
victims OF the Hoboken fire have been
found on the Saale which is lying in
twenty-eight feet Of water about quar-
ter of a mile out from Communipaw. All
of the bodies were burned beyond reeog-
milton. The coroner's office was notified
of the finding of the bodies and they will
probably be taken to the Manhattan
morgue tomorrow.
It is generally believed that greater
number of the bodies in the Saale is still
to be recovered, most OF them from the
water.
On one side of the Sale today was the
wrecking tug Champion. On the other a
lighter. The work was under charge of
Captain Kevein who stated that the saale
had settled a foot in the mud since Sun
day night. The captain said:
II think will get her off, but she will
never carry passengers again.
On board the Saale were found pieces
Of melted jeWelry that had belonged to
those who perished. A bundle of letters
was found by 4 diver. They were ad-
dressed to John Wollrade, the ships
carpenter. There was also found what
looked to be the remains of pair of
baby's shoes.
All day long there were big crowds Of
sight seers and souvenir hunters flocking
about the steamer. Those who went in
search of relics had little to show for
their trip when they returned for the
decks were closely guarded and none
without business allowed on board.
Coroner Hoffman of Hoboken has been
directed by the North Gsrman LLOYD
Steamship company to see that all the
unidentified and unclaimed dead have a
respectable burial at the expense of the
steamship company. In many cases the
victims bodies have been burned and
charred in such horrible manner as to
be beyond recognition. Those remains
will be buried first. The bodies that can
be identified Will be kept reasonable
time for Identification by friends.
The North German Lloyd Steamship
company has purchased plot of so graves
in Flow Hill cemetery at North Bergen.
The bodies of the victims unclaimed will
be buried there. 1t is probable that
single monument viii be erected to mark
the plot.

THE HARD CASES.

There are many people with many
serious defects of the eyes, who would
gladly wear glasses, if they could
find pair that gave relief. There
are many people who have been led to
believe that glasses will not benefit
them simply because their eyes have
never been correctly fitted. TO these
people pair Of lenses ground espec-
tally to fit the eyes are q revelation
and a pleasure always like to hear
a customer say that he never had q
pair of glasses in his life that fitted
him. / like to hear him say that he
has tried a dozen specialists without
success. The difficult and compli-
Gated cases are my favorites. / like
to succeed where the "other fellows
have failed. It you are a difficult
case' want to see you.

Pekin in Hands of Revo-
lutionaries.
Southern China Breaking Away
From Empire.

London, July $3.50 a. m.-The allies
are not advancing for the relief of Pekin.
This announcement to the House of
Commons by Mr.. William ST. John Brod-
erick, under secretary of state for foreign
affairs, was received with exclamations OF
astonishment and disnay, Sir Ellis Ash
mead Bartlett inquired if any informa-
tion had been received from the legations
at Pekin, or as to the composition and
command of tie relieving force and its
present position.
Mr.. Broderick read the dispatches re-
ceiyed and said the total allied force
available is now about 1900, as troops
have been rapidly arriving, adding:
1--WE do not yet know what arrange
ments have been made locally regarding
the command of an expedition, but it
has not yet been thought possible to at
tempt a further advance. The consuls
have been III communication with the
viceroys in the Yang Use region and
they are quite aware that support viii be
given them by Her Majesty govern
ment in preserving order. 1t is obviously
impossible that the representatives of
the powers at Pekin should be consult
ed, as no communications are passed
with them.'
1.-The situation is desperate. Hasten -
These words from the message from
Won Bergen, "a member Of the German le-
cation at Pekin, countersigned by Sir
ROBERT Hart, inspector general of Gus
tonnes and dated nine days ago, are the
theme of all private comment They
are preparing tor news of a frightful
tragedy. Nine days ago the ammunition
of the little garrison defending the for
eigners was running low and their food
was nearly exhausted, while around
them was horde of Kan Su braves hav-
ing at their service Krupp guns and re-
peating rifless. Pekin was in the hands
of the revolutionists.
While nothing but sinister news comes
from Northern China, Southern China
is seemingly breaking away from the
empire. All the provinces south OF the
Yellow river whose viceroys and govern
ors maintain friendly relations with the
powers through the lconsuls, have been
informally constituted into federacy

They have practically constituted an
Independent state, extending from the
Hoang Ho to the British and French
frontiers. Little else to illuminate the
profound obscurity of the situation
reaches cable points. The Chinese wires
to Che Foo appear to be interrupted
Last night ST. Petersburg was informed,
over the Siberian wires, that the destruc-
tion of the Russian railways in Man

probable that Russia win be fully occu-
pied for time in suppressing the insur-
rection among its subject Chinese and
may be unable to send more troops inn
mediately to Taku. The powers look
more and more to Japan to supply the
force necessary at once to grapple with
the formidable rebellion.

ly injured but escaped and subsequently,
reached the German legation. Herr
Hamman supposes that there was more
bloodshed at the legation, the destruction

party of Frenchmen. including the
commander and several sailors OF the
gunboat Surprise when the approach
of the Major, who held high stan ap-
pointment, was announced. The Saka-
laves were preparing to treat him and
his followers with the most lavish hos
pitality. In the middle of the night
the French column advanced, guns
were posted In a commanding position
and at daybreak Ambike was entered.
The inhabitants were sleeping quiet
iy. Senegalese soldiers rushed into
their houses and the massacre began.
Taken by surprise, without means OF
resistance, the whole population was
bayoneted. King Tonoro and all his
people fell on that fatal morning. The
soldiers were ordered to kill only the
men. but were not restrained. Intoxi-

LONDON. March I. - Winston
Churchill. in a dispatch from Colenso
dated Tuesday, says:
"The condition OF the wounded who
were INTENDED on the hillside Sunday
was so painful that General Butler sent
a flag OF truce to the enemy and It
was arranged that throughout Sunday
military movements should continue
on both Sides but there should be no
shooting. This truce terminated at
dusk. The BOC-s then resumed a fu-
rious musketry attack on the British
left. The attach was repulsed. Fight
ing continues vigorously. We shall
see who c8n stand 'bucketing' best, the

there is abundant proof OF the Beers
