A London special says: over seven
hundred Danish and Norwegian eml.
grants, bound for New York, are be-
lieved to have been drowned in the
North Atlantic on June 2S. Out Of
nearly 500 souls on board the Danish
steamer Norge, which left Copenha-
gen June %, only twenty-seven are
known to be alive, and for the rest no
hope is held out.
When last seen the Norge was sink.

Rockall, whose isolated peak raises it
self from deadly Atlantic reef 200
miles of the west coast Of Scotland
early on the morning of Tuesday,
June 2S the Norge, which was out of
her course in heavy weather, ran on
the Rockall reef which is in the dis.
tancc and looks like a ship under full
sail The Norge was quickly backed
or, but the heavy seas poured in
through rent in her bow.

awaiting breakfast below, ran on deck.

cred and into these the women and
children were hurriedly put Six Of
-hese boats smashed against the side
OF the Norge and their helpless in
mates were caught up by the heavy
seas.
Two boat loads got safely away
from the side Of the sinking ship and
many Of the emigrants who were left
on board, seizing the life belts, threw
themselves into the sea and were
drowned.
The Norge foundered suddenly and
some 600 terrified emigrants were
thrown into the water or drawn down
with the sinking ship. Those who
could swim tried to reach the boats.
but these were already too full and
their occupants beat off the drowning
wretches with oars.
The boats kept together for some
hours. Practically all OF their occu.
pants were passengers and were not
used to handling such craft. The boat
occupied by the survivors landed at
Grimsby was a life boat.
One account says that three boats
were successfully launched, the other
two holding about ten persons each.
The life boat made faster progress
and fell in with the Saliva. What be-
came of the other boats is not yet
known.
The rescue of those on the life boat
took place at 8 O'clock on the morning
OF June 30, the survivors consisting of
twenty men, one of them seaman,
six women and a girl.

A later dispatch from Litchfeld
says: The list of dead as result of
the Wabash wreck now numbers
eighteen, two persons among the in.
iured having died. A wrecking crew
which got to work early may uncover
other victims in clearing up the de-
bris.
States Attorney l.. V. Hill, Of Hills

into the circumstances Of the wreck.
and 1t is not improbable that arrests

Under a ruling made by Judge Cal
houn in the criminal court at Atlanta,
the places where cocaine is sold to
people addicted to the use of the poi

DEMOCRATS ASSEMBLE
NatiApal Convention Called to Order in
IL st Louis and Organized

WITH MS ADDRESS, man In the vicinity
OF the New York delegation was seen
motioning delegates and spectators to
continued their applause and encour-
aging the galleries to ignore the chair
mans order for silence. The man re-
sented interference from the sergeant
at arms and in the end was elected
from the convention hall The dis.
turbance was OF a rough and tumble
order, though no blows were struck.
SECOND EAYs SESSION.
At the Thursday morning session OF
the convention Chairman John Sharp
Williams was given a round of ap.
plause when he appeared on the plat.
form. The strain of his long speech
Wednesday was evident in his voice,
which was weak and hoarse.
AS soon as he had produced quiet
in the hall by the use OF his gavel,
he introduced Archbishop John g.
Glennon, Of st. Louis, who deliyere
the invocation. Immediately afterwards
Chairman Williams called for the re.
port on rules and order Of business.
The report was adopted without oD-
position or discussion.
The report concerning Porto Rico
and the Philippines according to the
delegates from Porto Rico seats and
votes in the convention was next
read.
Arguing for the adoption of the re-
port, Delegate Thomas Grady, of New
York, said the nationsj committee
had decided to include Porto Rico
in the call Of the convention. The
committee had to consider the cues
ton, he said as to whether these del
eSates had the right to vote The SUI
preme court Of the United States had
decided that Porto Rico was part
or the territory of the United States
The same court had decided that the
Fhllpplnes was not part Of the
United States. The committee had fol.
lowed the court and had given Porto
Rico votes and withheld votes from
the Philippines.
The committee on credentials not
being ready to report a recess was
taken until O'Clock.

at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure In all
It's stages and that Is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known 10 the medicine
fraternity. Catarrh being a con-

stitutional treatment. Halls Ca.
tarrh Cure Is taken internally, act
ing directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the

doing Its work. The projectors
