Score of Vessels Sunk or Seriously
Damaged.
THE WRECKED CITY OF BALTIMORE
Reported Loss of Twelve Lives in
That Disaster.
PERIL OF EXCURSIONISTS

CHICAGO. May 25.-Death and disaster,
the full extent of which is not known yet,
resulted from the gale which ragged on the
great lakes the last twenty-four hours.
From Chicago to Ogdensburg, N Y, the
storm held sway, and a score Of vessels
were sunk, wrecked or suffered serious
damage. The reports received from ports
on the lakes told only of disasters in their
immediate vicinity, and 1t Is feared that
other wrecks with fatalities occurred at
isolated places along the shores. Anxiety is
felt for vessels in miGlake which could find
no shelter from the gales fury.
The worst disaster reported was the
wreckng Of the steamer City of Baltimore
off Fish Point, ten miles from East Tawas,
Mich, in which twelve lives were lost. Two
members of the crew lashed themselves to
piece of werckage and were picked up
after six hours in the water. One of these,
George McGinnis of Chicago, was made in
sane by his experience, and his companion
narrowly escaped the same fate.
The schooner A. Bradley, bound for Chi
cago, became waterlogged in front of Mil
waukee, hoisted signals of distress and was
towed into the harbor for safety.
The sidewheel steamer Empire State, with
600 eXcursionists aboard sprung a leak
twelve miles out from Ogdensburg. N. Y.
The water put out the fires, and the ves-
sci just made shore when it sunk in eight
feet of water.
The schooner H. D. Moore. laden with
hard wood, collded with the pier at She
boygan, Wis. Masts and rigging were car
ried away and the crew was taken off.
The vessel is at anchor, but leaking and
pounding hard. Assistance has been sent
from Port Huron, Mich, to the steamer
Frick. stranded near the flats. All vessels
leaving that port in tWenty-four hours were
driven back to seek shelter from the gale.
The fishing tug Constance was cut in
two and sunk in collision with the steamer
c. W. Moore in the river near Menomi-
nee, Mich. The crew escaped.
The schooner Montmorency is ashore on
Charity Island, near Bay City, Mich, and
may prove total loss
The schooner George Davis is high and
dry on Wenona beach, near Bay City.
The steamer City of New Baltimore was
damaged in collision with a tug at Bay
City, and the tug Traveller lost part of the
raft it was bringing in.
The steamer Pewaukee Is stranded on
Bois Blanc Island near Cheboygan, Mich,
sent
The steamer st. Louis and two barges are
aground on the head Of Strawberry Island
near Buffalo N. Y. The schooner Sailor
sank at the Buffalo docks
The schooner Acacia collided with the
coal chutes at Oswego, N. Y, and was
badly damaged. In all ports on the lake
many vessels put In for shelter Many that
had started out met the gale and turned
back. The storm was declared by marine
men one of the worst in fifteen years.

OHIO DEM M0CRATS
Speculation as to Control of State
Convention.
TEST OF LOYALTY TO BRYAN
General Opinion of the Leading
Advocates of his Theories.
p L A TFOR RM OF 90

Much interest attaches to the game OF
politics being played in Ohio among demo-
Gratis. The alleged alliance between John
X. Mclean and James Kibourne against
Mayor Tom l.. johnson excites all sorts OF
speculations as TO the control and the
course Of the democratic state convention
this year. the assumption being that great
hostility toward what Is known as Bryan
democracy will develop In the convention
If the Mclean combination is In control
1t does not appear, however, that the
convention is likely to be conspicuous for
spirit of 90 even should Tom l.. johnson
be I'm control. That which is Johusonlan
in politics is something different and some
thing more than what is actually contained
in the literal expressions of the democratic
national platform of '96.
Test of Loyalty to Bryan.
In the general discussion of the possible
repudiation of Organism" by democratic
state conventions held within the next
year or so the tendency among those not
among the best informed is to assume that
the test will be on whether or 10: the 90
and the 1900 money planks are reiterated,
the failure to specify and make prominent
a l6-to-l silver plank being counted as re-
pudiation of Organism"
This is not the view of the situation
taken, however, by the leading advocates
of the theories of government which Brvan
represents The contest between the Two
elements Of the party is not expected to
be distinctively over the money question
and 1t is not expected by the BRYAN people
so called that the money question as pre-
sented In the two most recent national
campaigns will be the dominant issue
1t is recognized by leading democrats of
all shades of opinion that with the present
volume of money and attending prosperity
maintained, the question of the restoration
O coinage hp iSSt In,
the campaigns of the near future The
advocacy of free coinage, however, is re-
garded by many merely one manifesto
ton of trend of thought and that, with
silver out of the way, the same general
theories of government that made silver
men In 96 will hold that element together
on new issues that occasion develops and
that there will still be a "Bryanism,"
though there be no silver issue.
Character of Delegates.
1t is believed that the true test of the
loyalty Of state conventions, that may be
held between now and the time Of organ
izing for the next presidential election, to
Bryan and the policies he stands as the
representative of will be whether men se-
lected as candidates for office or placed In
position of authority in the party organiza-
tion are such as supported the national
ticket In 1900. If honors are bestowed by
state organizations upon men who sepa-
rated themselves from the national party
during the presidential campaign. as was
the in the selection of the mayor Of
St. Louis, 1t will be deemed a reputation
of Organism" but If the faithful are
kept on guard there will be considerable
latitude as to the specific declarations OF
platforms.

Given $2.ee After n Lonx Suit.

Cato Parker was a slave before the civil
war and enlisted in the Union army when
the war broke out Since 1873 his family
has been prosecuting claim for arrears of
pay and bounty. Today the Treasury De-
partment accounting officers found the sum
of $2.66 due the heirs of the ex-slave who
are Phebe Evans and Betty Batty.
Cato's claim for bounty, under the act of
July %, 1861, was disallowed for the reason
that the soldier was a slave prior to en-
listment. re-examination OF the claim
disclosed the fact that $3.50 was still due
the soldiers account, and that sum will be
paid.
