FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE II, 1904.

THERE ARE many scenes in connec-
ton with the General Slocum disaster
which are touching. On one doorway IN
New York thirteen pieces of Grape are
hanging. Women and men stand on the
sidewalks and talk with subdued voices
and little children, too young to appre
ciate what the disaster means, hang 70
their mothers skirts and yainly wonder
where their lost companions are. On the
second floor of 800 Avenue G, little
George Lamb, scarcely eight years DID,
wanders heplessly about the collins OF
his two sisters, six and seven years old,
and his mother, all of whom persisted ID
the wreck. His father died some years
40 and he alone remains. He does not
understand what it all means and can
only say in sobbing voice "Why Is
INV mother there? Will they come back
again ?' A poor woman went to an un'
dertaker's this morning and sad :
"Won't you please bury my little girl?
The undertaken shook his head and she
went away. Many families had to go
blocks before they could find an under
taker who could bury their dead. Nearly
one hundred ministers of all denomina-
lions met this morning at the Lutheran
Church to make arrangements to ON
ciate at the funerals and to devise
means of raising funds for the needy

A DISPATCH from Richmond says that
opposition to such large numbers OF dele
rates TO the State democratic convention
will appear hereafter. There seems to
be a sentiment for a smaller, more COM
pact body, and not such an unwieldy as
semby as that which convened there last
week. Many politicians are OF the opin-
ion that as much good can be accom-
plished and in a more orderly way by
having the basis Of representation hSeo
at one DELEGATE Tor each 100 votes. The
basis favored is one delegate for each 2OO
votes, but this could be still further re-
duced. There is good reason for this.
One of the reasons advanced is that often
counties elect twice as many delegates as
they are entitled to and give them half a
vote each. There is where much of the
trouble arises. The result is that the hall
is crowded and uncomfortable. Then,
again, the delegates have to be seated IN
such way that il is impossible often to
hear what one has to say from the rear
of the hall, nor do those present always
hear what is being said from theplatform.
As a rule large conventions are generally
disorderly and noisy, while with one
half the delegates in attendance-half Of
what composed the last convention-the
proceedings would be much more har-
monious and orderly. Business, too,
could be transacted in much less time,
and there would be better results. More
over, the change would give thousands
of visitors chance to get into the hall
and listen to the speeches where, as now,
the entire hall is necessary for the dele
gates and their immediate friends.

DISPATCHES this morning show that
Fortune is still in the japanese camp and
that the Russians continue to get woisted
in the sauguinary conflicts which are
taking place, although their willy enc
mics are losing heavily in their bulldog
modes of fighting. The japanese seem
determined to exhaust their country in
attempts to drive the Russians from
Manchuria, while the latter are disposed
to be equally as determinedin contesting
every foot of the way and in depicting
their treasury and putting a musket in
every mans hands in order to stay the
progress Of the Monaghan. The dove
of peace has not yet appeared on the
horizon, while those who present the
olive branch are waved away by the bel
ligerents. The wholesale slaughter Of
men incident to this bloody conflict is
appalling, and as no rift can be detected
in the dark cloud which now hovers
over the far East, there is no telling how
long these serious conditions are to con-
tinue. Besides this more dark pictures
are being thrown on the screen in other
portions of the world, where assassina-
ton are reported, turmoils are in evil
dsnce and cities placed under martial
law. And, then, disasters are following
steadily in the,wake of each other. While
the terrible catastrophe in the East river
is engrossing attention, dispatches from
Cuba tell Of destructive storms and the
loss Of many lives. Truly We live in
troublous times.
