New York, June 29.--Services in COM
memoration of those who lost their
lives in the Slocum disaster We're held
in Cooper Union tonight under the
auspices of the Mayors Relief Com
mittee. The big hall was crowded to
the doors. The Rev. DR.. George c. f.
Haas. whose congregation was almost
wiped out by the disaster, occupied q
seat on the platform.
After preliminary exercises, Mayor
Mcclellan addressed the meeting. He
said that while nothing that any one
could say or do could mitigate the sor-
row of the bereaved ones, yet in their
hour of trial 1t could at least be shown
them that their sorrows are shared and
are the common property of the entire
people. He said that what little could
be done for the consolation and aid
OF the bereaved had been done so gen.
erously and modestly as to make one
proud of American manhood and wom-

bles from Puerto Cortes Mexico, that
he will arrive at New Orleans on July
4, with eighty-nine colonies of these
ants. He will Immediately proceed to
the Texas cotton districts to begin the
campaign against the weevils.
The experimental colonization of
these ants probably will be instituted
first at Victoria, Tex. The location of
the colonies hinges largely on soil
questions, the shale-like soil being most
conducive to the success of the expert
ments.
A letter received by the department
from Dr.. Cook says that the colonies
should be located in districts affording
a loose and moist sub-soil, but well
drained. He says the ants will have
to be kept under careful observation
for a considerable. period and must be
protected from birds or other dangers
until the colonies have had time to in
crease materially.
The ants come from the department

st. Petersburg, June 20, 6:02 p. m.-
The submarine boat Delfin sank at her
moorings in the Neva, off the Baltic
shipbuliding yard, at IL o'clock this
morning, with the loss of an officer,
Lieut.. Cherkasoff and twenty men.
The accident was due partly to the
excessive number of the crew, mostly
inexperienced men, and chiefly to the
unfortunate attempt of a man to escape
while his comrades were screwing down
the manhole.
The officers and men detailed for sub
marine instruction had assembled. at
the Baltic yards and three officers de-
cided to go down in the Delfin, al
though her captain was not present,
relying on the experience of her skilled
crew.
A score of novices were anxious to
go with the three officers. The Del
fms nominal capacity is ten men, in
stead of which thirty-two entered the
boat bringing her manhole in danger
Gus proximity to the river level. Just
then tug passed, sending a heavy
wash against the boat.
Caused IA, Panic.
AS soon as the water splashed into
the submarine boats interior it created
a panic among the novices and one of
them tried to get out of the manhole,
which the older hands were screwing
down preparatory to the descent, the
submerging compartment having al
ready been opened.
The water rushed in, and as the sub
merged vessel sank like stone, the Of
ficers and some of the men were saved,
being blown through the manhole by
the rush of escaping air.
story of an officer.
The Delfn shortly afterward was
raised. Lieut.. Elaguin, who was one
OF the officers saved, said to the cor
respondent of the Associated Press:
1.-The tragedy was like dream. 1
remember a sickening sense of suffo-
cation from the fumes of the storage
batteries and then rush of air and
water. The next thing 1 knew was
that was ashore"
The Delfin is Russia's best submarine
boat. She was designed by Naval
Architect Boubnoff and Capt. Bekls-
misheff and underwent a successful
trial in 1903.

Albany, Ga, June 29-The friends of
Rev. Len G. Broughton have come to
his rescue for the purpose of relieving
him of the necessity of pressing the
sensational charges he made against
Chief of Police Westbrook Sunday and
as the result of which the evangelist
was cowhided by the officer in a bar
ber shop on Monday afternoon.
Twenty-four prominent business and
professional men of the city signed the
following paper, which was to-day pre-
sented to Mayor Lippitt. who is ex-
offlcio chairman of the Board of Police
Commissioners:

further trouble and responsibility in
the matter, have taken the matter in
hand for the purpose of investigation,
and after a thorough investigation
unanimously request and demand that
your honor call a meeting of your
board that we may come before it
by attorney and prove by evidence that
the charges are substantially true; if
proven we demand the removal of
Chief Westbrook."
Mayor Lippitt stated this afternoon
as soon as the written charges were
placed in his hands he would order an
investigation. A preliminary meeting
of the board will be held tomorrow
afternoon.
There is a good deal of feeling in the
community over the affair and two dis
tinct factions have formed.

BY R. NJ. Larner.

Washington. June 29.-As the hour
for the assembling of the Democratic
hosts at st. Louis approaches, the
talk about Cleveland being the logical
candidate, becomes more and more
pronounced. Democrats, who have re-
Gently resented with indignation the
mere suggestion of Cleveland's name
as a possibility, now admit that the
"Sage of Princeton" occupies warm
place in the, hearts of his country
men.
Former Senator NJ. C. Butler, Of
South Carolina, who is just back from
a visit to New York and Philadelphia,
in connection with his mining interests,
says the Cleveland sentiment is so
strong in New York that wagers are
being freely made, that he will be the
choice of the convention. This express
sion in behalf of Cleveland, coming
from Gen. Butler is surprising. for
he has heretofore been AN enthusiastic
advocate of German.
Cleveland Talk in New York.
Gen. Butler went on to say that
while he was in New York he met
many prominent Democrats from all
parts of the country. In almost every
instance after the merits of the va
rious possibilities were freely discussed
the concensus of opinion would be in
favor of Cleveland. Gen. Butler says
there are some men who insist that
former Senator Gray, of Delaware, next
to Cleveland, is the strongest man to
be nominated against Roosevelt. There
has been more or less Gray talk here
in Washington for the past week. but
there is nothing in the name, the rec
ord or the personality of Judge Gray
to excite wild political enthusiasm.
Practical politicians at once declare:
"He was not regular in the last cam
paign. Now. Judge Gray has many at
tractive features, but would not ap-
peal to the boys, who are anxious to
nut up a stiff fight against Roosevelt

What few opponents there may be
to Judge Smiths, reelection, failing to
find any other ground OF criticism, make
the silly charge that he is too old to

The complaint is really not the worth a

physically vigorous as many a man

life have always been so temperate and
methodical aud his studious mind has
been so carefully trained, that he is able
to accomplish a marvelously large
amount of work with the utmost ease.
The other charge, that he is rich and
does not need the office be holds, Is
equally childish. Because, after long
