OPENING INCIDENTS.
The Coming of Those Foremost jn Na-
 tionsl Life.

Convention Hall, Chicago, June 21.-
 At II o'clock only a few delegates and
 aIternates and practically none of the
 men prominent in the control of the
 republican party, had put in their ap- pearance at the hall. An army of door
 keepers was on guard at the various en-
 frances, and numerous bodies of ST.
 geants at arms were stationed ct the commencement at the middle and the
 ends of aisles to guide the delegates to their seats.
 The last touches to the hall had been made in the night and early morning. A large number of palms and pottsd plants were placed around the sides of the hall on the first floor and the arches
 and boughs which were fastened to the girdcrs just above the upper balcony relieved in a pleasant manner the lCng | stretch of saffron cloTed roofing. It
 had been announced that the only pie
 ture which would be seen in Convention hall would be a portrait of the late ! Senator Hanna, which was hung just above the speakers platform, but yes | terday large engTavings Of President 1 Roosevelt were placed, one at every al- ternate catch in the drapad bunting [ that stretched around the ceiling. Be
 low each picture of the president and l beneath these folds in draped steamers of red, white and blue, where a picture was not hung. were swinging basket ts of ferns, while the under side of th=
 great trusses from the bunting to the ! backs of the seats was covered with | t3stefully arranged palms.
 l The first applause to the incoming ! delegates was a ripple of handclaps
 from the gallery given to Senatcr Ali soR of Iowa. Senator Deliver, of To-
 wa, came strolling down the center aisle soon after Senator Allison had taken his seat. and the men in the gal ! lery from Iowa broke out in applause

RAISING OF THE DEAD
Scores of Victims of the Slocum Dis
 aster Brought to the Surface.

New York. June 21.-Evidence Of a startling nature. which doubtless will have an important bearing on the uI- innate result of the coroner's inquiry into the General Slocum disaster. was forthcoming at the inquest today.
 Perhaps the most unexpected incl dent was the continu d refusal to ans wer questions, of Henry LundberE. United States steaH-Ssat inspector. who was supposed to have inspected the life preservers and hull of the iIl- fated steamer. His refusal was based on the ground that an answer might tend to incriQinate him and he acted on the advice of his counsel.
 Teh coroner committed Lundberg to the house of detention.- but later Gc- cepted $500 bail for his appearance at the hearing tomorrow, which was sat- isfactory to the assistant district attor- ney.
 By the use of dynamite and heavy guns fired by men from the second bat tery, scores of bodies were brought up from the bottom around the shores near North Brother Island today From sunrise to sunset searchers along the beach and in boats gathered in 1l2. bringing the number Of bodies recov- cred to date to the appalling total of S45
 Of these 700 have been identified. and the missing still are apprOXimated at something more than 300. Man< of the bodies last found never will be identi- fled because of the changes that have taken place during the week they were under water.
