Good roads advocates IN Congress are
eXulting over the favorable report OF
dered by the Senate Committee on Agri-
culture on the Latimer good roads bill.
The fixing Of 100000 as minimum, in
stead Of the maximum, amount to be
allotted each State, as announced in
The Times, is regarded as the biggest
kind of a victory for the newer States
of the Union, where improved highways
are most needed
The Importance Of the bill can be
Judged from the fact that ii calls for an
appropriation OF S24 900 for division
among the various States in three equal
yearly installments. 1t was known TO be
impossible to get such a measure
through Congress just on the eve OF a
Presidential campaign, when the party
leaders are eXerting themselves to mold
down appropriations Hence, the secrr-
ing of a favorable report is accepted rs
at least a big step in the direction Of
hnal success.

THE POPULISTS.
Watson, of Georgia, and Allen, of
Nebraska, Are the Lead
ing Candidates.

Springfield, ILL.,, July A movement
was started Sunday night to make the
standard bearer Of the populist party
OF 1904 Thomas b. Watson, of Georgia,
and ex-senator William V. Allen, of Ne
braska. AS to which one of the gen
tlemen shall head the ticket there seems
to be little preference among those who
are behind the movement. Ex-senator
Allen arrived Sunday afternoon, accom-
panied by a large delegation from Ne
braska, and it was not long until his
boom was launched for the head of the
ticket. j. A. Edmiston, vice chairman
OF the fusion wing of the populist party,
is leading the fight for Allen.
One hundred delegates from Missouri
Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ala
bama and Georgia arrived Sunday after
noon, headed by 10 A. Parker, ma
tional chairman Of the peoples party,
who at once started a boom for Watson.
OF Georgia, for first place on the ticket.
1t is understood that Watson will not
attend the convention, and the friends
of Allen believe that after he makes his
state arsenal, there will be stampede
among the delegates to the Nebraskan
for president. Allen is taking no part
in the movement to make himself the
nominee, and refuses to discuss the
question, but his friends declare he will
accept the nomination if the convention
decides to nominate him.
S. W. Williams, Of Indiana, is an ac-
tive candidate for the nomination for
president, and has the delegates from
his state instructed for him He is also
claiming the solid support of Illinois and
Iowa, and scattering votes from other
states. The Indiana delegation is work
ing hard for Williams and F. J. S. Rob-
inson, chairman of the Indiana state
central committee, says their candidate
will poll surprising vote on the first
| ballot.

GREAT DISASTER

WAS LADEN WITHEMIGRANTS
Over 700 Lives Thought to Have
Been Lost-Vessel Strikes
Reef off the Coast Of
Scotland.

London, July 4.-Over 700 Danish
and Norwegian emigrants bound for
New York are believed to have been
drowned in the North Atlantic on June
%. Out of nearly 800 souls on board
the Danish steamer Norge, which left
Copenhagen June %, only 81 are
known to be alive, and for the rest
no hope is held out. When last seen
the Norge was sinking where she
struck on the islet of Rockall, whose
isolated peak raises itself from a dead
ly Atlantic reef some 200 miles off
the west coast Of Scotland.
Struck Reef.
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 a ship under full sail The
Norge was quickly backed off but the
heavy seas poured in through a rent in
her bows. According to the survivors,
the moment the vessel struck the en-
gines were reversed and the Norge
came back into deep water. The rent
in her bows was so large, however,
that she began to fill rapidly. The
vessels eight boats were swung over
the sides rapidly and the women and
children were put into them first.
There was a heavy sea running and in
lowering the boats all but two of them
were smashed

launching boats and rushing into them
but there was no panic Four or five
were in the boat into which l got and
we cleared the ship. Luckily for us
in our party was the only seaman from
the Norge who escaped and he was
