ST. LOUIS. June 29.-It would seem

cratic National Convention, with all

COTS FOR THE DELEGATES.

Tarpey Cancels the Engagement of
Sumptuous Hotel Quarters.
ST. LOUIS, June 29.-Some one has
drawn a keen blade across the folds of
NJ. F. Tarpey's hot-air balloon and the
craft that has been bearing the Hearst
Pacific Coast boomlet is hanging tail
upward somewhere in the jungle west
of the Rockies. A message received
to-day by the management of the JEFF
ferson Hotel from Tarpey Cancelled the
engagement of all rooms but the head
quarters and five sleeping apartments,
each of the latter to contain three cots.
In view of the fact that the weather
here is noted for it's c-sorption and
retention of caloric, it is safe to assume
that but one Democrat will occupy
each of the cots. Thus, by calcula-
ton that goes no farther than plain
multiplication, it is plain that but fif-
teen of the faithful from California
and Arizona are expected. The craft
that carried Tarpey's vision of imperial
trains bearing to the National Conven-
tion every delegate who dwells west
of the Rockies, all with but a single
thought, has met with disaster. His
request that the headquarters and the
sleeping apartments be retained ex-
hausted his facts and figures, but not
his hopes. Continuing in his telegram,

hole Open.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 29.-The
submarine boat Delfn sank at her
moorings in the Neva, of the Baltic
Shipbuilding Yard. at IL o'clock this
morning, with the loss Of Lieutenant
CherkasOff and twenty men. The ac-
cident was due, partly. to the exces-
sive number of the crew. mostly mex
perienced men, and chiefly to the un-
fortunate attempt Of a man to escape
while his comrades were screWing
down the manhole.
The officers and men detailed for
submarine boat instruction had as
sembled at the Baltic yard and three
officers decided 10 go down in the Del
fin, although her captain was not pres
ent, relying upon the experience of her
skilled crew. A score of nOvices were
anxious to go with the three officers.
The Delfn's nominal capacity is ten
men, instead OF which thirty-two en-
tered the boat. bringing her manhole
in dangerous proximity to the river
level.
Just then a tug passed. sending a
heavy wash against the boat. As soon
as the water splashed into the sub
marine boats interior it created panic
among the nOvices and one of them
tried to get out of the manhOle, which
the older hands were screwing dOwF
preparatory to the descent, the sub
merging department having already
been opened. The water rushed in and
as the submerged vessel sank like
stone the officers and some Of the men
were only saved by being blown up
through the manhole by the rushs OF
escaping air.
The Delfin shortly afterward was
raised. Lieutenant Elagsuin, who was
one of the officers saved. said:
''The tragedy was like a dream. L
remember sickeninga sense OF suffo-
cation from the fumes of the storage
batteries and then a rush OF air and
water. The next thing I knew was
that I was ashore"
The Delfn is Russia's best submarine
boat. She was designed by Naval
Architect Boubnoff and Captain Bek-
lemisheff and underwent a successful
trial in 1903.

BETTING ON CLEVELAND.
Many Wall Street Men Believe He
VIII Be Nominated.


NEW YORK, June 29.-Wall street
is beginning to take an interest in the
national political situation. In the
duIIness which has seized stock spec
ulation interest in market develop
ments has given place to discussion as
to the Democratic nominee at the. ST
Louis convention. To-day the prevail
ing differences of opinion found ex-
preston in the curb market, where a
score or more of bets were made.
Grover Cleveland's name appeared
with surprising persistency in the
terms of the wagers. There is at
least $4,000 waiting to be wagered at
odds of 1 to 21z that hG will be the
Democratic nominee. Those who diff
fer on the point, however. are willing
to concede only to l that Cleveland
will not be named.
Six or seven bets were made indi-
eating that in the event of Cleveland's s
nomination it was an even chance be-
tween him and Roosevelt. c. M.
Minzesheimer said he had $4,000 to
wager that Cleveland would defeat
Roosevelt in case the former were
nominated and consented to run. A
customer of Sternberger. Slim & Co.
placed S400 even money on Roosevelt
against Cleveland. w. c. Moore, a
curb broker, bet 500 even with Louis
Heineman on Cleveland. Another in
teresting bet was 500 even that either
Mcclellan or. Cleveland would be the
nominee.
One of the matters most commented
upon in the financial district was the
force of the Cleveland boom. The
warehouses had it that the ticket
would be Cleveland and Francis.
