RUSH AT YANKTON
Registration Officers Confronted by

Long Line of Homeseekers.
Special to The Journal
Yankton, S. D., July 5.-The regis
tration for claims on the Rosebud
reservation opened this morning. Per-
sons anxious to leave town lined up
at an early hour, but the crowd was
easily held in check by the police.
Morning trains poured 1000 persons
into town. Perfect order prevails and
the crowd was easily housed and fed.
At the registration offices the crowd
was compelled to line up In double
file and q line was formed extending
far down the street. The clerk Of
courts office Is swamped with appli-
cations for papers, for it is necessary
to have first papers in order to file
and second papers to prove up. Nat
uralized citizens should bring their
papers with them.
The crowds at the registration Off
ces are composed almost entirely of
men, not over twenty-five women
standing in line. The landseekers are
noticeably we'll dressed and altho they
have been standing since 4 o'clock
this morning they seem good-natured.
Those who have time, are waiting
to register when the crush is not so
great Most of those registering pre-
fer to have the registration papers
made out by attorneys In established
offices in preference to notaries.

follows:
"All went we'll until about 2:45 am.
last Tuesday. When about eighteen
miles south Of Rochall I felt the
steamer strike heavily forward on a
sunken rock.
II was on the bridge with Chief
Officer Carpenter. Soundings were

five feet Of water In the forward hold.
"Orders were given to commence

down by the bow. The chief officer

him to jump overheard. which he did.
I did not see him again.

PRESIDENT TURNS TO
HIS OFFICIAL DUTIES

Oyster Bay, L. l., July 5.-President
Roosevelt today transacted the first
public business he has taken up since
his arrival here on Saturday. While
nothing Of serious Importance was
considered he and Secretary Loeb
spent two or three hours in disposing
Of minor official matters and current
correspondence.
The only visitor Of Importance at
Sycamore Hill during the early part of
today was Senator Beveridge of In
diana. He is a guest Of Joseph Sears
at the latters country home not far
from Sycamore Hill. 1t was the first
time since the Chicago convention
that the president and Senator Bever-
idge have met. Their interview was a
purely informal and friendly exchange
of views on political subjects and was
without special significance.

HEARST CLAIMS
MINNESOTA GAIN
Surprising Show of Strength in
Preliminary Caucus of Co
pher Delegates.

i st. Louis, July 5.-Hearst's forces
made a surprising show Of strength
in the Minnesota delegation at pre-
limlnary caucus this morning. They
mustered twelve of the twenty-five
delegates for a little conference in the
Tammany headquarters at the South
ern hotel, which adjourned to meet.
again this afternoon. Ss
The Hearst leaders claim these
twelve are solid for their candidate,
and for the slate to be put up at their
delegation caucus tonight. They have
worked on one or two doubtful dele
gates with the anti-Parler dodge.
They are pleading for an organization
Of the state delegation, not for Hearst,
but against Parker.
Not more than nine Of the dele
gates are to be counted for Parker,
but Frank A. Day, while dissatisfied
with Parker, declined to be drawn
text.
The men who went into the Hearst
caucus this morning were H. L. Buck,
w. w. Mays, J. w. Craven, Frank D..
Larrabee, j. r. Corrigan, 9. e. Vasaly,
s. ]. Mealy, D. H. Evans, T. O'Hara, c..
D'Autremont, r. w. Stafford and G. A.
Nye.
The Hearst leaders will find it diff
cult to line these twelve up solidly
against John Lind for the resolutions
committee. That is what they are
trying to do. They claim that Lind is
lined UP with the "reorganizers," and
must be kept off the committee.
The Hearst candidate against Lind
has not been selected. r. T. Hudson
of Duluth Is the Hearst candidate for
national committeeman, and r. T.
O'Connor Of st. Paul is favored by the
Parker men. The caucus this morn
ing was held in the billiardroom OF

HOPKINS DEFEATS
HEARST And BRYAN
Illinois Contests Are Decided
Against Newspaper Candi-
date and Nebraska Ally.

St Louis, July 5.-The subcommit-
tee Of the national committee which
yesterday and last night heard the
evidence in the fourteen contests in the
state of Illinois today reported to the
national committee that it was the
unanimous opinion of the members Of
the subcommittee that the Hopkins
delegates be allowed to retain their
seats
The report was concurted in and the

committee on credentials.
The decision of the subcommittee
was based on the ground that the state
convention was supreme, that lights In
the district caucuses are not proper
matter. for adjudication by the ma
tional committee, and that it is not
the business Of the national commit
tee to go behind the record Of the con-
vention as submitted to them. This
shows that the Hopkins people are the
regularly accredited delegates.
This attitude Of the national COM
mittee sustains the contention of the
Hopkins people, who insisted yester-
day in every contest that the national
committee did not have the right to
decide contests in district caucuses.

STRUCK IN DEAD OF NIGHT
Tragedy Came While Passengers Slept
How the Boat Sank.

Grimsby, Eng, July 5.-No tragedy
of the sea has had more appalling
consequences and none has occurred
in a shorter time than that of the
Norge last Tuesday The passengers
were suddenly aroused from their
sleep terrified by the contact Of the
bows of the ship with the solid gran
lite, followed by a grinding, rasping
sound as If the hull was being dragged
over huge rocks, then silence. The
changing bells brought the engines to
g. stop. A stentorian voice gave the
terrifying order: "All hands on deck.
Hurry or you may sink"
Life Preservers Useless.
Immediately there was rush for
the narrow companionways and men,
women and children pushed and
struggled and made every other effort
to reach the deck, where the boats
swung from the davits. Many per-
sons, regaining their presence of mind,
seized life preservers only to find In
some instances that the strings were
rotten and they could not be quickly
put around their bodies. Those who
reached the deck saw the nose of the
Norge pinned directly against the
rock.
Captain Gundel, who had immedi-
ately gone to the bridge, gave the or
der to the engineer to reverse the en-
gtnes. Slowly the ship backed off, and
as she gained way it was found thai
water was pouring into her hold. This
announcement, called out in Scandi-
nayian, and presaging death, added tc
the supreme fright and agony

turned to deep water. The sea rushed
