TO FORM new PARTY.
Conference Held by Pettigrew,
Dubois and Others.

New York, July 21.-At a conference
just held at Manhattan Beach in which
the principal participants were U. S.
Senator F. T. Dubois of Idaho, ex-Sen-
atOr r. f. Pettigrew of South Dakota,
Prof. Garrett Droppers of South Da-
kota, for ten years professor of politi-
cal economy in the Imperial university,
Toxic, and George Shibley of Washing
ton, plans were discussed for the or
ganizatio of a new national party.
So far as it has gone the new party
seems to be an effort to unity the So
called Liberal Democracy which already
has state organizations in New York,
Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio and
Iowa.
Mr.. Shib1ey presented for the consid-
GRAFTON of the other members of the con-
ference, a complete outline Of plan for
a national organization on mines similar
to those of the state organization OF
Liberal Democracy. At the close of the
conference Senator Pettigrew gave g
statement in which he said:
Mr.. Bryan will not be the candidate
of the regular Democracy in 1904 but he
and his friends hope that he will have
much to say regarding the platform
and the management of the campaign.
If he does not, Mr.. Bryan and his as
socfates viii form a new party based
on the Kansas City platform.
Free silver will not again be a politi-
cal issue. When we demanded the free
coinage of silver we wanted more
money. Since then immense new gold
fields in Alaska and South Africa have
been opened; there is more money than
ever before, and greater prosperity.
This result is what we predicted when
we asked for more money. Times are
good in the west, in spite of the beef
trust The farmers get more for their
cattle and higher prices for their GER
ealS.
But on other principles aside from
silver the west has not changed. We
adhere to the original principles of De-
mocracy, although the country is fast
drifting away from all its old moorings.
The main trouble is the departure from
the original form of government. A
Fourth of July grafton of ten years ago
will not fit today"
Mr.. Shibley, who drafted the outline
of the new party, said:
Il have been engaged for years in the
effort to establish the referendum, not
as a party issue, but as an essential to
ma jority rule. We have now an Or
ganizationin each state which intends to
put all candidates on record on this
question and it is bound to be adopted
and made a campaign issue sooner or

NEARLY A PANIC
Caused by the Disappearance Of
$4,000 in Chicago.

Chicago, July 21.-News of the dis
appearance of nearly $4,000 from the
vaults of the Masonic Temple Safety
Deposit company last Saturday had
spread to such an extent tina today 1t
caused a run on the. vaults. When
the day vaults were opened for business
there was a struggling crowd of men
and women depositors in waiting who
feared for money and valuable that
they had deposited in the con pany's
strong boxes. For time there was al
most a panic in the crowd The office
force of the deposit company was un-
able to cope with the great demand for
verificatio of signatures and in the
vaults the turnkeys for several hours
were unable to open the boxes fast
enough to keep down the crowd.
The police have secured no clews as
yet to the disappearance of the currency
belonging to the race track men. The
management still SCOTS at the idea
that the money has been stolen, but the
police take the bookmakers' statements
as to the truth. They said today that IL
would have been a very easy matter to
secure duplicate keys and to have pill
fered the boxes

Hamburg Liner Sinks With 1856
Passengers Aboard.
Struck by a Tug on the River
Elbe at Night.
SO PERSONS DROWNED.
Seventy We're Picked Up and
Others Swan Ashore.
Thirteen Dead Bodies Have AL.
ready Been Recovered.

Hamburg, July 21.-The steamer Pri-
mus, owned by the Hamburg american
line, with 1856 passengers on board, was
cut in two and sunk by the tug Hansa
on the river Elbe at 1890 o'clock this
morning.
So far as is ascertainable about SO
persons were drowned. Thirteen bodies
already have been recovered.
The Primus was an excursion steamer
from Buxtehude (province of Hanover)
Prussia. The disaster occurred between
Blankenez and Nienstdten. Among the
passengers were the members of the
Eilbrek male choral society,"
At the time of the accident the Prf-
mus was crossing the river channel
near Blankenez from the southern into
the northern fair way.
According to witnesses aboard the
Hansa the movement WAS made too pre-
cipitately.
The Primus struck the tugs engine
room and the Hansa endeavored to
push her ashore but the tug grounded
and the ships parted. The Primus then
sank.
In the interval, however, about so of
her passengers were able to reach the
Hansa by means of ropes and ladders.
Seventy more were picked up by the
tugs boats while others swan ashore.

LAWYERS ARE TALKING
Status of American Book Com
pany Being Argued.

Chief Justice Doster and Justices
Smith and Greene are sitting in the SUI
preme court today to hear the argu-
ments in the application of the Ameri-
can Book company to have the tempor-
ary restraining order against its doing
business in the state set aside
The court is going into the merits of
the quo warranto procedure against the
American Book company in full, and
this suit will probably largely decide the
standing of the American Book COM
pany in Kansas.
l.. NJ. Dillman, western manager of
the company, is here from Chicago at
tending the hearing, and he and Sen
atOr F. Dumont Smith, one OF the at
torneys for the company, went on the
stand to testify that the company has
been doing business in Kansas continu-
ously for a number of years, and that
it filed statement with the secretary
Of state as required by the Bush COR
poration law. 1t is rather unusual to
have testimony introduced in the su-
preme court.
1t is the contention of Quinton &
Quinton, who represent Crane & Co., that
the company should have filed state
poration law took effect and each year
since, and because it failed to do so,
that it has no standing in Kansas.
The attorneys for the company claim
that the schools of the state will be
without books next fall if they are not
allowed to fulfill their contract as
awarded by the state text book COM
mission. They allege that schools have
no authority to use the old books or
any others except those prescribed by the
text book commission, and if the COM
pany is prohibited from furnishing the
books prescribed the schools will have to
go without them.
1t is not known when a decision will
be announced by the supreme court.
Governor Stanley today issued his
formal proclamation announcing the
awards made by the text book commits
sion and prescribing the prices which
shall be paid for the various books
This is a forma1ity required by the
school book law and it may have some
bearing upon the standing of the Amer
lean Book company.

Deceased Smallpox Patient Said to
Have Reappeared Alive.

New York. July M.-Onicials of the New
ark Board of Health are greatly puzzled
over the identity of man who, under the
name of George Annie. died at the Isola-

The widow and relatives held services

surance was collected.
A leading Newark lawyer, who knew
Annie well, now declares positively that he
has seen the supposed dead man in Broad
street, Newark. That he conversed with
him and was told that the story of death
was a hoax and that he had escaped from
the Isolation hospital.
Additional mystery is attached to the
case of Annie by the supposed widow who

says she also saw her husband on the
sidewalk few days ago watching the

SANTA FE FINANCES.
Estimated Earnings Increase
$3, 100000 During the Year.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 21.-For the fiscal
year ending June 80 the Santa Fe re-
ports earnings from the same mileage
(7.S0S) as for the preceding year. Dur
ing the year 595 miles Of completed
road have been purchased, viz: Pecos
Valley and Northeastern (370) and San
ia Fe, Prescott and Phoenix (225) and
the Gulf and Beaumont and Kansas
City (about $50 miles) has been under
construction for account of Atchison.
To provide money for this new mileage
and to pay for $13. 900 worth of new
rolling stock which was imperatively
demanded by increased business of the
company, about $2.000,000 of general
mortgage bonds in the treasury were
sold, as well as $30,000,008 of per cent
treasury notes, to mature $780, 600 an
nually, beginning February L, 1903. Pro
