ABOVE A THOUSAND
The Awful Total of the
 SlOCum Disaster
Of the Fifteen Hundred Who Started on That Fatal Excursion Only 236 Escaped Injury.

New York, June 25.-That more than 1000 persons perished in the burning of the excursion steamer General Slo- cum is now practically certain. Ac- cording to an exhaustive report made by Police Inspector Schmittsbreger on the number of dead, missing. injured and uninjured in the disaster, it ap- pears that 93S bodies have been recov- cred and that ninety-t three persons who are absolutely known to have, been aboard the vessel are still uuaccounted for. bringing the total mortality of the disaster up to 1,031. Those injured numbered 179, and of the throng of fully 1,5O0 who embarked on the ex- cursion of St. Marks church but 236 escaped without injury.
 The report is the result of a minute inquiry made by a corps of one hun dred patrolmen under the di-eetioV of the inspector. In the course oe the in quiry much valuable information was secured from survivors which will be used in the investigation by the dis trict attorney to fix the responsibility fer the disaster. A thorough examina- tion today of the hull of the Slocum by Coroners O'Gorman and Berry and h. spector Albertson resulted in the dis covery in the locker in which the fire started of a number of barrels which had contained kerosene and lubricat t. ing oil. The coroner's inquest will be continued on Tuesday, and on Thurs day, the hearing by the federal grand jury will be opened.
 In the death today at Watching, IN l.. of Rev.

VARYING CROP REPORTS.

Topeka, Kas., June 25.--The Kansas wheat harvest will be delayed many days on account of yesterdays heavy rains. In some parts of the state the wheat is badly broken oown, but as a whole it is not materially damaged as it was not dead ripe.
 All the lowlands around Lindsberg nre covered with water. This is in the center ef the wheat belt. The Repub- lican and Smoky Hill rivers are rising at an alarming rate at Junction City tonight. Much wheat will be destroyed In that vicinity.
 An overflow of Cottonwood river in Lyon county. wipes out all prospects for a corn crop. The most serious re- port of the damage of wheat came from Lucas and Waldo. Fine fields there will yield practically nothing.
 In Dickinson county much of the wheat lands are overfiowed bu the harvest will begin in a few days. Pros poets for a large crop there were nerer better.

Senator Fairbanks scarcely referred to politics in the half dozen different speeches he made during the trip as the people of all parties and classes turned out to greet him and the demonstration in most instances was of Q T. Lon-partisan nature.
 MT. Fairbanks reached his home city at 7:SO o'clock, the approach of the spe- cial train bearing his party being an- nounced by hundreds Of steam whistles and by the ringing of tells. When the train stopped 10000 people cheered and waved a welcome. In front were sev- eral hundred prominent residents of the city, representing Gt1 political parties and including the mayor of the city and the governor of the state.
 A committee representing the COlum- bia, Marion and Commercial cluEs and the Merchants association, WhiCh h met Senator Fairbanks at Lebanon, had carefully planned the details, and the party rapidly passed through the shouting throng to the carriages In waiting, behind an escort of 500 mem bers of the Marion club.

 Fields Laid Bare.

Kansas City, June 2E.-In Russell county, Kan, hailstorm of unusual severity fell today, completely destroy ing wheat fields, covering a territoy thirty miles long and eighteen miles wide. This territory contained some of the best wheat fields in Kansas.

 Hail fell almost in a continuous sheet of ice and was driven by a strong wind that beat wheat fields as bare as if they had been mown. Several farm houses in the neighborhood of Luray were unroofed. As far as known no one was injured.

London, June 25.-Ex-M Mayor Van Wyck, of New York and John F. Car roll. who arrived at Liverpool on the steamer Campania, accompanied by a number of New York political friends
 reached London tonight and took up their quarters at the Carleton hotel, where many Americans greeted him. Messrs. Van Wyck and Carroll will go | to Vantage to see Richard Croker early next week.

 except as the loyal servant of the par | ty but I put what I think for the good of the country before the party. It is | no secret that I am a Cleveland man. l am going to see MT. Croker. There is

 New York, June 25.-The New York | News which has recently changed | hands and has come out as a straight l democratic newspaper and is recogniz- | ed as the organ of Tammany Hall will | tomorrow print a three page article
 advocating George B. Mcclellan. the | present mayor as the nominee of the democratic party for the presidency. | On account of the papers policy, the knowledge of the publicati ton has creat-
 ed much speculation in local political | quarters, where it is construed as in-
 dicating the beginning of a strong campaign to nominate Mcclellan. The News claims Mcclellan to be "one man whose election would mean certain | party success. The eyes of the north,

PRONOUNCING WAR NAMES

I ADAM BEDE, the Minnesota con-
". gressman has been a close student
of the war news since the beginning of the
present conflict Naturally the strain of
wrestling with the Russian and Japanese
names has been considerable. and he has
evolved plan for simplifying matters.
Folks going to lose interest in this
war" he said to a friend the other day,
"urness something is done to make it possible
for us TO talk about it. With the Russians
using nothing but consonants. and the Japa-
nese putting their whole dependence on the
vowels, there's no use in trying to talk intelli-
gently about the situation. The names of
the places and officers worse than the
names of our sleeping-carS.
Now, what | propose is that numbers be
substituted for these awful chunks of alphabet.
Give the places simple numbers, beginning
with Nladivostock and calling 1t No 1. and
running through the less important towns
