P0PULIS1S IN CONVENTION
FUTURE OF THE PARTY DEPENDS
LARGELY ON ACTION OF DEM
OCRATS AT ST. LOUIS.

Springfield, Ill.,, July 5.-That the fu-
ture of the Populist party depends in a
great measure upon the action of the
Democratic national convention at St.
Louis is freely admitted and discussed
by the delegates to the Populist ma
tional convention, which was called to
order at noon in the state arsenal.
The leaders who are here believe
that a gold Democrat, like Parker or
Cleveland, will be nominated at St.
Louis and w. Bryan will leave the
Democratic party and come into the
ranks of Populism. With him and his
friends supporting Populist principles
the delegates here think there would
be more hope for the future.
On the other hand, if Mr.. Bryan and
his friends should control the ST. Louis
convention or receive recognition
which would be satisfactory to the Ne
braska leader many of the leaders here
say there would be little use for the
Populist party to make fight this
year.
The attendance is disappointment
to the leaders. There is also consider
able disappointment that some of the
recognized leaders of the party are
absent. Thomas e. Watson of Georgia.
mentioned as the probable candidate
for president, is among the absentees.

Chicago, July 5.-London is to re-

At his tabernacle in Zion City, in the
course Of his first sermon after his re-

Dowie's followers do not expect it will
be attempted until after next year.
The announcement of Dowie followed

"They will not. and they will find
that their votes will help to nominate
Parker
Senator Hill was asked if any at
tempt was to be made to break the
two-third rule in favor of a majority.
He said that the Parker adherents had
no such intention.
The anti-Parkerites are not dis
mayed by the days developments and
continue 20 hold conferences for the
purpose OF devising ways and means
for the defeat of the New York candi-
date. Said National Committeeman J.
G. Johnson of Kansas after one OF
these early morning exchanges OF
views:
1--WE find much that is encouraging
in thorough canvass of the situation
because we cannot see where Parker
can get to exceed 400 votes"
The Parker opposition has also been
somewhat encouraged by the arrival
of the Tammany contingent and their
! opposition to the candidate from their
state They also count upon New Jer-
sey adhering to Mr.. Cleveland.
On the other hand some of the Par
ker people are now claiming the NOM
ination of their man on the first bal
lot and they count upon the aid of
Senator German in the accomplish
ment of that result. They say that
the opposing elements cannot control
their own votes. 1t is claimed, for in
stance, that upon the first break forty
| three of the fifty-four Illinois votes in
structed for Hearst, will go to Parker
and some of the Illinois men are them
selves making this statement.
That Senator Carmack of Tennessee
shall second the nomination of Judge
Parker has been decided upon. The
Tennessee delegation has appointed a
special campaign committee to work
for the nomination of Senator Car
mack for the vice presidency.

RUSSIANS ELUDE kAMlMURA.
yIadivostok Squadron Got Away From
the japs.

Toxic, July 5.-The Vladivosto!1
squadron eluded Vice Admiral Kami-
mura's squadron eastward of the island
of Tau Friday night in the darkness.
A drizzling rain and fog favored the
Russian vessels. The two sQuadrons
met early in the evening, the Russians
being north Of Xxi island. the Japanese
south of Tsu island. They were ten
miles apart The Russians bolted to
the northeast when they were discov-
cred by Vice Admiral kamimura. The
latter chased them at full speed. The
Japanese torpedo boats steamed ahead
and entered within the range of the
Russian guns. The Russian vessels
vigorously shel!ed the Japanese tor
pedo boats. This firing explains the
| cannOnading heard on Tsu island and
gave rise to the belief that a general
engagement was in progress. Vice
Admiral kamimura gained on the Rus
sian slips and was only five miles IN
the rear when suddenly, at 9 p. m,
all the Russian vessels eNtinguished
their lights and disappeared in the
| darkness. At that time the Japanese
| torpedo boats were pressing the Rus
SLAMS, who had been ucing their
searchlights. The torpedo boats failed
to get close enough to the Russian
squadron to discharge torpedoes.

EIGHTEEN PEOPLE KILLED
WABASH TRAIN WRECKED AND
THREE OF THE COACHES
DESTROYED BY FIRE.

Litchdeld, ILL.,, July 5.-The list of
dead as result of the Wabash wreck
here now numbers eighteen, two per-
sons among the injured having died.
The injured number about thirty. a
wrecking crew got to work early and
is cleaning up the debris and they may
uncover other victims.
The wreck was caused by running
into an open switch. After running
into the switch the engine struck a
string of freight cars and, with the
first three coaches. was piled into a
heap across the track and caught fire
INN ediately. The last car on the
train was a special from Wisconsin.
1t was uncoupled and pushed back
and saved.
l. R. Mills. one of the killed, was in
ternal revenue collector at Decatur
and one of the most prominent Repub-
licans in Central Illinois.
Nearly all the passengers were
bound for st. Louis and those not in
jured left on the Illinois Central train
an hour later.
States Attorney l.. V. Hill of Hills
bOro, who is here with Coroner Gray,
is making an investigation into the
circumstances of the wreck and it is
not improbable that arrests may be
ordered. The open switch is mys-
terry which the officials are trying to
solve. According to the Wabash sta
ton agent, Charles A. Corneau, the
switch had not been used during the
entire day by any of the trainmen. a
short time before the wreck south
bound fast passenger train passed over
the track in safety.

DENIED BY GENERAL OkU.
Answers Charges of Cruelty Preferred
by Russians.

Toxic, July 5.-General Oku has for
warded a detailed report to the impe-
rial headquarters answering charges
preferred by the Russian authorities
that the Japanese troops were respOn-
sible for atrocities committed on the
field during the engagement at WI
fangtien, preceding the battle of Va
fangow (Telissu). He says the charges
are totally unfounded but, on the con-
trary. that he had proofs that the
wounded Russian prisoners highly ap-
preciated the humane treatment they
ard their comrades had received from
the Japanese 1t is the Russians. he
declared, that have cruelty mutilated
the Japanese who fell into their hands
the following charges:
That on June is six Japanese scouts
were overpowered by Russian troop
ers, who ran bayonets in their mouths,
in their heads and cut their breasts
open; that on June q the Russians
captured Japanese cavalryman,
whom they bayoneted and then cut his
abdomen open On May 5 the Rus
SLAMS oeheaded a Japanese cavalry
man whom they had captured.
General Oku asserts mat dcls VI
cruelty on the part of the Russian
troops are numerous and announces
his purpose to report in the future
every case OF it which is brought to his
notice. He says he feels that he is not
fighting a civilized army. Associated
Press correspondents are unable to
furnish any facts in connection with
General Oku's charges because no neu-
trail observers were permitted to be
present on the field at either of the
engagements which took place at WI
fangtien and Vafangow.

st. Louis, July 5-Whether or not
Senator German will be a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
president was the subject discussed
at a conference of party leaders dur
ing the morning. A definite statement
from the Maryland senator is looked
for within few hours.
Two important statements bearing
on the German situation came from
the New York delegation during the
day One. emanating from Parker
headquarters, was to the effect that
Senator Germans expected letter
would say that he declined to be a
candidate and that already the Mary
land delegation had received notice of
it. Senator Hill professed to know
nothing of this, but said:
I'VE know that we will nominate
Parker"
William F. Sheehan, who is in
charge of the work of securing dele
gates, said:
1--WE have reason to believe that
Senator Go man will not be a candi
date and we already know that he will
not allow his name to be used in order
to solidify minority sentiment
against Parker
The other statement came from the
Tammany headquarters and was to the
effect that poll OF delegations showed
that it was impossible for Parker tC

FEARFUL LOSS OF LIFE
Fearful Loss OF Life as a Result of the
Steamer Norge, Which Strikes a Reef
In Heavy Weather.

London, July 5.-Between 600 and
700 Scandinavian and Russian emf
grants bound for New York we're
drowned in the North Atlantic June %.
The Danish steamer Norge, which
left Copenhagen June % with 800 souls
on board, struck reef on the islet of
Rockall, about 29O miles off the west
coast of Scotland.
A great hole was torn in the bottom
of the; ship, which sank at once, only
about 100 persons having escaped with
their lives SO far as can be learned.
Early on the morning of last Tues
day the Norge, which was out of her
course in heavy weather, ran onto the
Rockall reef, which in the distance
looks like ship under full sail. The
Norge was quickly backed off, but the
heavy seas poured in through rent
in her bows.
The emigrants, who were then
awaiting breakfast below, ran on deck.
The hatchways we're scarcely built
for these hundreds of souls and be-
came clogged.
The Norge quickly began to go down
by the head. Eight boats were low
cred and into these the women and
children were hurriedly put. Six OF
these boats were smashed against the
sides of the Norge, and their helpless
inmates caught up by the heavy seas.
Two boatloads got safely away from
the side of the sinking ship and many
of the emigrants who were left on
board, Selling life belts, threw them
selves into the sea and were drowned.
Captain Gundel so say the surviv-
ors, stood on the bridge of the doomed
vessel until it could be seen no more.
Hundreds Go Down With Ship.
The Norge foundered suddenly and
some 900 terrified emigrants were
thrown into the water or drawn down
with the sinking ship. Those who
could swim tried to reach the boats,
but those were already too full and
their occupants beat Off the drowning
Wretches with oars.
One of the survivors said that when
he got on the deck the Norge was
half submerged and was rapidly get
ting lower in the water. Half mad
with fright the survivors all strug.
gled for places in the boats. They
fought their way to the big lifeboat
and an officer slowed in the six women
and the girl and then told the men to
get in.
The officer then took charge and got
the boat away from the side Of the
Norge. Seeing that the boat was al.
ready overloaded the officer, with
great heroism, jumped into the water
and tried to board another boat which
