Shaw, secretary of the treasury, Wis
tied the World 3 fair today and called
upon President Francis of the expo

criticising or retlectingupon the meth
DDS of the exposition officials.
He expressed satisfaction at the pros

Worlds fair, as indicated by the
amount Of the first payment made on
the government loan, and said that
the payment was larger than he had
expected.

Dynamite Suspect In Jail.

CRIPPLE CREEK, June l7.-Under
Sheriff L. F. Parsons is authority for
the statement that there is confined in
the county jail one of the perpetr ators

murder, if not the actual criminal who
pulled the wire that exploded the dyna.
mite. The under sheriff refuses to tell
the name of the guilty party, fearing
that If it became public it would pre-
cipitate lynching or an attempted
lynching, in which a numbe of citi-
zens might be killed in trying to storm
the jail and get the prisoner.
One hundred and forty-four union
miners and their synpathizers have
been deported from the Cripple Creek
district since Monday, June 6. and
about three score more are bookdd for

MORE BODIES RECOVERED.
Victims OF the Excursion Steamboat Fire
Will Exceed Six Hundred.

NEW YORK, June 17.-Every hour
adds to the horror of the excursion
steamer disaster of Wednesday when
the General Slocum was burned to
the waters edge near North Brothers
island. Divers had explored the
wreck of the steamer yesterday and
reported that no more bodies were to
be found there, but today a diver who
was at work on the sunken hull, found
a large number of bodies packed
tightly inside of one of the paddle
wheels. Just how many there were
was not known, but it was planned to
remove them as soon as Coroner
O'Gorman reached the scene.
Estimates as to the number of dead
still vary greatly. and this may be
accounted for by failure to report to
the proper authorities on the part of
many who, although officially regis
tered as missing, were in reality
saved. Already $50 bodies have been
recovered, OF which about so rem ain
unidentified. These include 273 chill
dren, 243 woman and % men. Thir.
teen officers of St. Marks church are
among the dead.
The sad task OF burying the dead
began today. A meeting of the Ger.
man Lutheran church was held and
program of services arranged. While
in many societies joint service will
be held over bodies, the clergymen OF
this denomination have a herculean
task before them. The distressing
nature of the blow of the disaster is
shown by the fact that in one apart.
ment house there are IS dead, while
in another 16 bodies await burial.

May Pardon Innocent Convict.

KANSAS CITY, June 20.-Three men,
now on the police force in this city.
who were attaches. OF the Cole circus
in 1855 when the brakeman, Edwards.
was murdered on a Montana Union
train in Montana, have positively iden-
titled William Miles as the man who
committed the crime. The testimony
OF the men has been telegraphed to the
sheriff at Deer Lodge, and it is ex.
pected that an officer will arrive from
Montana to take Miles back for trial.
HELENA, June 2O.-Governor Toole
will not demand of the governor of
Missouri the extradition of William
Miles, who few days ago at Kansas
City confessed that he had killed a
brakeman on the Montana Union rail-
road near Deer Lodge in 1885, for
which crime a man named Walton is
now serving life sentence at the pen
ltentiary at Deer Lodge. The gov
ernor announced today that he had
reached this conclusion with regard to
the case and that in addition, because
OF the mental condition of the convict,
who is paying the penalty for what
may have been the crime of another.
he is disposed to pardon Walton.
The case is without parallel in the
history OF the state if not in the entire
country. Walton has already served
~ years in the penitentiary and there
Is much conjecture as to what efforts
will be made by the state to repay him
for the great wrong which had been
done him. AS the man confessed to
the murder himself, it is probable tn at
he will not be able to claim any com.
pens alton for his incarceration.

Montana Horse Thieves Captured.

WILLlsTON, N. d., June 2O.-Two
desperate horse thieves were captured
here today by Sheriff Cosner and Dep.
uty Sheriff Doeiler. Yesterday a
message was received by these men to
look out for two desperate men who
had stolen bunch of horses at Saco,
Glasgow and Culbertson, Mont.
Doetler noticed a stranger in town
and incidentally made his acuuain-
tance and that of a friend in town.
He learned that he had a bunch of
horses and also that the brand was
one described in the telegram. He
strolled away and soon returned to
find his man Off his guard and cap
tured him at the stable of "Slim"
Jones, right in this city
Cosner had left town early in the
morning and ran on to his man four
or five miles west of town. Shots
were exch anged but the desperate
finally gave up. The two men gave
their names as Blayke and Skoped or
something similar to these names.
They are from South Dakota and an.
pear to be % and % years of age.

ROOSEVELT AND FAIRBANKS.
The Indiana Senator Will Probably Re.
ceive Nomination for Vice President.

CHICAGO, June 2O.-The nominatio
OF Sen ator Charles w. Fairbanks for
vice president was regarded as settled
tonight when New York decided to ca st
her 1S votes for him. While it has
seemed forgone conclusion for some
time that the Indiana senator would
be Mr.. Roosevelt's running mate.
there have been efforts made to bring
out other candidates and start a stam-
pede of delegates for another man.
These attempts failed almost in their
inception and it early became appar-
ent that Fairbanks was the choice of
most of the deleg ations. New York's
final action was more formal than tn at
OF other states, and practically set.
tied all doubt even among those who
were opposed to the Indiana man.

man aud Sen ator Carter member of
the committee on resolutions, and in
dorsed Senator Fairbanks for vice
president.
The men who are to examine the
platform which has been in the possess
sion OF Senator Lodge for several
days, have been selected by the vari-
Gus state deleg ations, and there Is
practically no doubt that the declara-
tion for protection will be emph attic
and that there will be but little com.
fort for the tariff revisionists.
The majority are against having
anything like general revision of
the tariff suggested, and they will
contend for the words "changes in
tariff schedules when ''conditions
make it necessary" as being ample
to cover all that is intended by the
republican party. Senator Hans
brough, who intends to offer a pro.
vision for the revision declaration,
has not received much support. Only
Oregon seems to have approved the
revision idea, the senator's own state
delegation refusing to give him sup

Russian Loss Was Heavy.

TOXIC, June 2O.-Further reports
received here show that the blow in.
tlicted by General Oku on the Rus
slams, in the fighting at Vafango, on
June Is, was more severe than at first
was believed.
The number of Russians killed ia
this battle probably will exceed 1000
and their total losses, including pris-
oners, is estimated at 10000. The
japanese losses are less than 1000,
or about One-tenth of the Russian
total. Up to June II, Genera! Oku
had buried 1876 Russian dead and he
reports that many more dead have
been found.
Chinese who Witnessed the fighting
from the Russian side report that the
Russians removed many dead men
from the trains with their wounded
and that they buried or crematec
many corpses before they retreat

Russian Losses Were Heavy,

ST. PETERSBURG, June l9.-About
LOO men, wounded at the battle of
Vafangow, including S. officers, have
reached Liaoyang. The total Rus.
sian losses are about 1000. General
Stakel lberg's force is marching north,
the railroad being unable to trans.
port more than a few thousand men.
Special dispatches say the Russians
at Vafangow had AZ battalions against
Al Japanese battalions. The Japan
ese had great superiority in artillery,
having more than 200 guns.
The retirement of the Russians be-
fore superior force at Vefangow and
the advance OF the japanese east and
northeast, makes imminent a still
more important engagement in the
southern region. The Japanese have
now arrived at a point where the
forces are more equal and where they
must fight on more even terms.

NEARLY SEVEN HUNDRED DEAD.
Number Of Lives Lost In Steamboat Fire
May Reach Early Estimates.

NEW YORK, June 19.-Sunday' 9
harvest of dead from the steamer Gen
eral Slocum numbered 40, bringing
the total mum ber o! bodies so far re-
covered up to 632. OF these $50 have
been identified while about 30 of the
victims now lying at the morgue have
not been claimed by friends or rela-
tives. During the day 36 bodies were
recovered and it was not until after
dark when the great majority of the
searchers had ceased to work that the
others were found. Most of these
came up from the bottom and hoated
in shore. They were discovered by
the police who were left to watch all
night.
There is possibility that when the
charred hulk is brought to the surface
considerable number of corpses may
be within the tangled mass of wreck
age, which has defied all the divers
attempts at complete exploration.
Doubtless, too, many bodies have
been swept away by the whirllng cur
rents OF He'll Gate and carried out in
the broad waters of Long island sound
or out past Sandy Hook to the open
sea.
The region in the vicinity of St.
Marks German Lutheran church in
East Sixth street was the scene of ia
funerals, representing the burial of
nearly 200 bodies, almost all of whom
were children. Enormous crowds
thronged the streets of the quarter
and large force of police was neces.
sary to prevent disorder and keep
passage for the long lines of hearses
and carriages. Funeral services were
held in no less than 81 churches of
denomin ations in this section.

Over Seven Hundred Dead.

New YORK, June 2O.-The list OF
those who perished on the General
Slocum is growing at an alarming
rate. Bodies came to the surface to-
day off the shores of North Brother
island singly and in groups of twos
and three until at dusk SO additional
bodies had been recovered. Every
passing steamer seemed to churn up
the water to such a degree that with
its wash one or more bodies would be
swept onto the beach. This brings
the total numb ber Of bodies up to 725
and yet there are something like 300
persons unaccounted for.
The coroner's inquiry into the is
aster was begun today. Thousands

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
o1rlclal Programme Provides for Making
Nominations on Thursday.

CHICAGO, June 9.-Secretary Dover
OF the national committee has an
nounced the official programme for
the three days of the convention. 1t
is as follows:
Tuesday, June 2l-Convention call
ed to order by Chairman Harry c.
Payne; prayer by Rev. Timothy P.
Frost; reading of the call for the con-
vention by Secretary Elmer Dover:
Introduction Of Temporary Chairman
Elihu Root, who will address the con.
vention and report the names of the
temporary officials, appointments of
committees on permanent organiza-
tlon, credentials, rules and resolu.
tions.

Rev. Thomas E. Cox: report of the
committee on resolutions: report of
the committee on permanent organiza.
tlon: Introduction and speech of Per.
manent Chairman Joseph G. Cannon:
report of the committee on rules; am-
ing by state deleg ations of the men,
bers of the new national committee.
Thursday, June 23-Prayer by Rev.
Ihaddeus A. Snively; call for presi.
dent nomin ations; presentation of
name of President Roosevelt by Frank
G. Black of New York and seconding
speeches by Senator Beveridge of In
diana and others: nomination of vice
presidents; election of committees for
notification of candi ates.
The vice presidency and the tariff
plank in the platform were the princi-
pal subjects Of discussion among the
delegates Of the repu blican national
convention today. From present ap-
pearances, Senator Fairbanks will be
the choice for vice president, as suf-
ticient number of leaders have de-
clared~ for him and announced the
probable support of their deleg ations
for him to Indicate his selection. The
Indiana senator remains non.commit-
tai, his position being that the nomi-

fused. The knowledge that the sen ator
will not refuse has been commune ated
to the delegates and has largely In
creased the prospects of his nomina-
ton.
The mass of delegates apparently
are giving little attention to the plat
form. The prevailing opinion is tn at
the wishes of the president should be
largely consulted on that point, and
the impression goes to the extent of
believing that he has dictated his
views to his particular friends. That
enator Lodge has drawn up the
resolutions of the platform
is generally conceded, and all doubt
as to whether he would be chairman
Of the committee on resolutions has
been dispelled by the notification
which Acting Chairman Payne has
given the senator that he will be re.
COgnized to make the motion for the
