Predictions as to What it Will

IOWANs FAVOR HARMONY
Efforts of Republicans of Hawkeye
State Practically Unanimous in This
Direction-Democrats Masqueradns
as Republicans Try to couse schlsm.

Des Moines, June Sill advised eff.
forts are still being made by some
of the little two.by-four papers of the
state to keep alive the strife that has
existed in the republican party for the
past year or two. They seem to have
lost sight of the fact that the party
leaders, including Governor Cummins
Senator Allison and j. w. Blythe, are
making an honest effort to harmonic
the conflicting elements.
The platform adopted this year will
be in degree similar to the platform
adopted by the Ohio republicans. 1t
will be very much like the platform
adopted by the st. Louis conven.
ton.
This is settled.
The contention in Iowa has been
over three things.
First, the shelter to monopoly
plank, which will not appear in the
state platform.
Second, the demand for immediate
tariff revision that has been made by
some. 1t is now settled that there will
be no revision of the tariff until after
the next national campaign, and there.

the platform.
Third, the demand for reciprocity
that practically means free trade, es-
pecially with Canada. This will find
no place in the platform.
The platform may not be satisfac-
tory to all. 1t will probably not go
quite as far as Governor Cummins
would like, but, on the other hand, It
will go little farther than many of
the extremely conservative leaders of
the party would like. In word, 1t
will be compromise.
Secretary Shaw hit the nail on the
head when he stated that 1t was his
understanding that, neither faction of
the party was to claim victory, but
that both factions We're to make an
effort to get together and agree on q
platform that would suit both as near
ly as possible. at,fs5
All the editors who care anything
for the party or have its interests at
heart, are trying to pursue this pol.
icy. Some few democrats who are
masquerading as republicans and con.
Quoting sort of guerrilla warfare for
spoils, are pursuing different tactics
Fortunately for the interests of the
party, these editors are comparatively
few. and the few that do exist are de-
void of influence.

Five Hundred Colored Resi-
dents Disregard Warnings.

Belleville, ILL.,, June S.-A1though a
mob of citizens lynched David j. Wy
att, colored school teacher, here on
Saturday night, the 500 colored people
who live in Belleville disregard the
warnings they have received and re-
fuse to leave the city. Wyatt was put
to death because he had shot and SER
iously wounded Charles Hertel, super
intendent of the St. Clair county
schools. The town is greatly excited
over the occurrence and the colored
people have been advised to leave, but
refuse to do so
Race Feeling Runs High.
1t is difficult to describe the inten-
sity of the race prejudice which exists
here as the result of the shooting OF
Supt. Hertel. Only spark is needle
to cause an explosion.
Excitement over Saturdays lynch
ing is almost as great today as it was
during the hours while the mob was
breaking into the jail.
Fully 10000 strangers visited the
public square and viewed tho
scene of the lynching. Crowds came
from all sections of southern Illinois
Missouri, Arkansas and Kentucky. On.
ly the charred telephone pole and q
few bits of unconsumed flesh of the
unfortunate man remained for their
view.
Citizens assembled in groups at ev.
cry corner to discuss the lynching.
Strangers were told in gruesome de-
tail Of the victims shrieks for mercy,
of his writhing at the dangling end of
a rope, of the mob's fury in cutting
and slashing the body, and of the fire
which left of the mangled remains only
charred trunk.

MANY ARE DROWNED
Excursion Steamer Wrecked by
Sister Ship Near Marseilles.

Marseilles, France, June s. - Death
stalked in the midst of a party of gay
eXcursionists near this city today,
when the steamer Insulaire struck and
sank its sister ship, the Liban. With
bands playing and songs rising from
the throats of the happy excursionists,
the catastrophe took everyone un--
awares, and fully one hundred of the
passengers and crew were drowned.
Both vessels were passenger steam
ers. The Liban, with 240 passengers,
sailed on it's regular trip for Bastia,
Corsica, this afternoon The Insulaire
was coming into port. Marie island,
at the entrance of the harbor, hid the
steamers from each other until it was
too late to avoid the collision.
Sinking Ship Races for Shore.
The Insulaire crashed into the Lii
bans side at full speed, cutting a
great hole, through which the water
poured with a rush.
The captain of the Liban turned the
steamer and ordering full speed ahead
began a race for shore, hoping to
ground his vessel. For seventeen
minutes the steamer kept the course
and then the fore part of the vessel
plunged under the water and almost
in an instant the ship had disap-
peared.
Steamers Go to Rescue.
The collision was witnessed from
the pilot boat Blechamp, which was
about two miles distant The Bile
champ Immediately repaired to the
spot to render assistance. The steam
er Balkan and other vessels also drew
near the sinking ship and made des-
perate efforts to rescue those on
board. The Blechamp picked up for
ty persons, many of whom were at
the point of exhaustion. The Balkan
rescued thirty-seven passengers, and
up to, the present it is known that in
addition to the passengers seventeen

Work of Rescue Difficult.
Officers of the steamer Balkan de-
scribe the scene just before the Liban
disappeared as terrible one. AS the
vessel was sinking it was inclined to
such an angle that the masts struck
the water, causing an eddy which made
the work of rescue most difficult. A
mass of human, beings were clingng
to the laundering vessel and uttered
despairing cries as it went down.
AS the vessel sank the boilers ex-
ploded. intensifying the horrors. For
few moments the victirls were seen
struggling in the sea, then the waves
closed over them and all was silent.
