There Are Some Close Contests for

Speech Praising Roosevelt's
Administration.
(By Associated Press.j

COLUMBUS, OHIO, June 3.-The open
ing sessions as well as the preliminary
meetings OF the NRepublican S:ate Con-
yention to-day. showed that the claims
about Senator Hannas influence with the
party in Ohio are well founded. 1t is
conceded that his friends controlled al
most all OF the twenty-one congressional
districts. on some OF the other commits
tees the Hanna element was more nearly
unanimous. While the contests for MI
nor state offices continue tonight in
about the same positions of relative
strength as last night. 1t is currently
believed that before tomorrow the con-
ferences that are being held may result
In an understanding. While Senator Han

Hanna 10 give out the word" even for

which the lines were more distinctly
drawn.

Those opposed to the slate tonight quoted
from lis speech in which he pictured
nrosperity under Republican rule and
warned the opposition to Keep hands
Off" and urged the Republicans TO Keep
on letting We'll enough alone.
The convention to-day was devoted to
preliminary organization. Senator
Hanna delivered an address, in which
he urged standing by Republican prin-
ciples and paid a high tribute to Presi-
dent Roosevelt of whom he said:
1--WE look back but few short months
when that heroic young man, standing
under the gloom of that awful tragedy at
Buffalo, feeling and appreciating tho re-
sponsiblities which had come upon him,
and In the presence OF the American
people made that sacred promise to them
that to the best of his ability, with his
heart full of desire, 1t should be his aim

Mckinley, and how we'll he has succeeded

About go children from the Park Meth

had boarded the barge. and number
were on the steamer The excursion left
Hannibal TO run to Quincy and afford a
view of the swollen Mississippi AS tho
boat swung out into the river the swift
current seized the craft and despite all
efforts drove 1t straight down toward
the stone pier of the bridge nearest the
shore With a crash the steamer was
hurled against the pier and wrecked,
hut did not sink Immediately. For time
1. was wedgcd against the pier by tho
current and held, while the terror
stricken children and the accompanying
adults climbed up the pier to the bridge.
In this way almost half of tho passengers
were saved.
Before all could reach safety the barge
was yeered around by the current. and
finally swung loose from the pier and
floated down stream. In the sudden
swinging out of the barge the three
children were thrown into the water and
swept away to their deaths.
Further down the stream the catas-
tropfe had been witnessed, and at hand
were Il number of sfiffs and row-boats
With one thought these boats were
manned and like n miniature fleet
they shot out into the swollen
stream to meet the barge. Tho
rescuing boats surrounded tho barge
and the children We're quickly taken
from 1t and safely landed.
Tho cause Of the accident was the blow
ing out of cylinder head of the boats
engine, disabling her and placing both
craft at the mercy of the swift current.
