No Peace Overtures.

Washington, Special.-While the Of
ficials here are satisfied from their pri-
vate advices that the recent visit Of
King Edward to his nephew, Emperor
William, was not brought about by a
purpose to initiate movement toward
the restoration of peace between Rus
sia and Japan, there Is reason to be-
lieve that some very careful and dis
Greet inquiries as to the opportunities
Of some such overtures at this time
have emanated from Washington. 1t
may be stated that the result has been
to disclose the fact that neither Of the
belligerent powers is yet in humor to
sue for peace, nor even to entertain
overtures from any third power on that
subject.

lana Purchase Exposition.
The available cash, June 80, 1904,

FEARFUL sHIPWRECK.

The Danish steamer Norge, which
left Copenhagen June % with 700 Dan
ish and Norwegian emigrants for New
York, struck reef 290 miles of the west
coast of Scotland June 28and foundered.
Out of TIA people on b'ard only l2S are
known to be alive. They arrived on a
steam trawler at Grimsby.
The seamen stuck to their posts, put
ting women and children into the life
boats. On account of the heavy sea these
beats were all wrecked but two, contain
ing the twenty-seven persons, who last
night were taken to Grimsby. After
striking the rock the Norge reversed
her engines and swung free, but the rent
in her bow soon sent her to the bottom.
Life preservers were employed, but they
were useless in the heavy sea. The Norge
carried no passengers, it is said, except
emierants bound for America. These
were nearly all Danes and Norwegians
No recorded wreck OF the sea ever had
greater death list. The passengers were
suddenly aroused from their sleep, terri
fled by the contact of the bows of the
ship with the solid granite, followed by
grinding, rasping sound as if the hull
was being sheered over huge rocks. Then
silence, as the changing bells brought the
engines to stop. Those of the pas
sengers who we're standing at the time
The steamer struck the rock were thrown
against the bulkheads or on the decks
and had not recovered their feet when a
voice gave the terrifying order: "All
hands on deck Hurry or you may sink! y
Immediately there was rush for the
narrow companionways, and men, women
and children pushed and struggled and
made every effort to reach the deck where
the boats swung from the davits.
Those who reached deck saw the
Norge's nose crushed against the rock. 1t
remained there only few minutes, for
Captain Gundell, commanding, who had
Immediately gone to the bridge, gave the
order TO the engine room to reverse the
engines.
, Slowly the ship backed off, and as she
gained way it was found that water was
pouring into her hold. Swiftly the yes
sci began to sink by the bows. Some of
the lifeboats were dashed to pieces as
they were being lowered but others got
away with 1913 persons who were saved.

The Socialists.

New York, July ga resolution with
the attitude of the party in relation to
labor unions was presented today for
consideration by the delegates in attend
ance at the socialist national conven-
ton at Grand Central Palace. The reso-
luton declared that the party was I'M
alterably opposed to the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor, OF which Samuel
Gompers is the head, for the general rea-
son that the organization is "pure and
simple union which does not fight on a
class conscience basis" The American
Federation of Labor, the resolution said,
is in league with the old parties aud
enemies of socialism in the national civic
federation and in State and municipal
parties. The resolution favored the
position taken by the labor union and
especially commended the attitude OF
this organization in the Colorado
miners war. The development of the
working classes in Europe was traced to
the fact that the labor unions of France
and England are rapidly succumbing to
the socilistic movement. The resolution
was referred to committee and is to be
discussed by the convention tomorrow,
when candidates for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency will be nominated.
Nearly every delegate to the convention
has his own choice as to who shall lead
the party in the forthcoming campaign.
No one in particular was in popular favor
today.
