Hundreds on Sunday School Excursion
n Burned Of Drowned.
OVER 1900 ON THE STEAMER.
Helpless and Screaming Hundreds We're
Roasted Alive or Swallowed up In the
waves. Many Trampisd Under Foot
or Crowded Overheard.

New York, June 1.-THE three
decked excursion steamer General Slo-
cum, burned to the waters edge, or
North Brother island, east river, Mt
the entrance to Long Island Sound,
resulting in the death through burn
ing or drowning of at least 600 per-
sons, mostly women and children:
Four hundred and ninety-eight bodies
were speedily recovered, and divers
were at work taking bodies from the
hold Of the steamer.
Great preparations had been made
for the seventeenth annual excursion
Of the Sunday school of St. Marks
German Lutheran church.
The scene on the decks of the steam
er as she proceeded up the East river
was one of merrymalsing customary on
such occasions. The mass OF flags
fluttered in the June breezes, the
bands were playing and the children
were singing, dancing and waving
handkerchiefs and flags in answer to
the salutations of those on shore or
from passing steamers.
The fire is said to have broken out
in the lunch room on the forward deck
through the overturning of pot OF
grease The wind was high.
Two hours and twenty-five minutes
after the fire was discovered the Slo-
cum sank. It is estimated that three
were then nearly 100 charred bodies
on her decks. Just afr the steamer
sank the water near by was black with
bodies.
For hours the bodies of the burned
and the drowned drifted ashore on the
island between 131st and 13Sth street
in Manhattan. Some came ashore still
alive. Many of these died but others
will recover. At late hour divers
were still busy taking bodies from the
hold of the steamer which they said
was choked with the remains Of human
beings, while the bodies OF scores who
leaped or were thrown into the river
have not been recovered.
1t was a spectacle Of horror beyond
words to express-a great vessel all in
flames, sweeping forward in the sun
light, within sight of the crowded city,
while her helpless, screaming hun
dreds were roasted alive or swallowed
up in the waves-women and children
with their hair and clothing on fire.;
frightened mothers casting babes over
board or leaping with them to certain
death; wailing children and old men
trampled under foot or crowded over
into the water.

Longer Postal Cars.

not yet completely known.
During the engagement the Third
and Fourth batteries of the First artil-
lery brigade were literally cut to
pieces by the Japanese shells.
"Of sixteen guns thirteen were rem
dered completely useless and were

choosIno the RIoht Moment.

When man with ideas complains
that he is disregarded. as crank, he
has probably failed to discover that
the habits of the world are largely as
sumed as the result of experience. It
is enough to give utterance to new
ideas In order that they may become
effective when they grow old. Only
once In a thousand times does man
hit upon the psychological moment for
a revolution. The world cannot be
forced but at the right time 1t enthu.
siastically follows an able leader.
