700 Scandinavian and Russian emf

drowned in the North Atlantic June %.
The Danish steamer Norge, which
left Copenhagen June % with TIA souls
on board. struck reef on the islet of
Rockall, about 200 miles off the west
coast of Scotland.
A great hole was torn in the bottom
of the ship, which sank at once, only
12S persons having escaped with their
lives so far as can be learned.
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 rent
IN her bows.
The emigrants, who were then
awaiting breakfast below, ran on deck.
The hatchways were scarcely built
for these hundreds OF souls and be-
came clogged.
The Norge quickly began to go down
by the head. Eight boats We're low
cred and into these the women and
children were hurriedly put. Six Of
these boats were smashed against the
sides of the Norge, and their helpless
inmates caught up by the heavy seas.
Two boatloads got safely away from
the side of the sinking ship and many
of the emigrants who were left on
board, Selling life belts, threw them
selves into the sea and were drowned.
Captain Gundel so say the surviv-
ors, stood on the bridge Of the doomed
vessel until it could be seen no more.
Hundreds Go Down With Ship.
The Norge foundered suddenly and
some 500 terrified emigrants were
thrown into the water or drawn down
with the sinking ship. Those who
could swim tried to reach the boats,
but those were already too full and
their occupants beat off the drowning
wretches with oars.
One of the survivors said that when
he got on the deck the Norge was
half submerged and was rapidly get.
ting lower in the water. Half mad
with fright the survivors all strug.
gled for places in the boats. They
fought their way to the big lifeboat

and the girl and then told the men to
get in.
The officer then took charge and got
the boat away from the side of the
Norge. Seeing that the boat was al
ready overloaded the officer, with
great heroism, jumped into the water
and tried to board another boat which
was not so full. He failed and was
drowned.
In the sea by this time was mass Of
struggling men, women and children,
gasping and choking from the effect
of the water The boat rowed clear
of this seething inferno and just as she
drew away the Norge went down.
The only hope for the missing is
that some few of them might have
been washed up on the barren rock.
Their chance of being rescued even
then is practically nil for vessels sail

wide a berth as possible.

second ballot, perhaps on the first.
That is now the claim of the men
who are in charge of the political at.
fairs of the New York candidate. All
day long the Parker opponents have
tried to perfect a programme which
would prolong the balloting and afford
an opportunity to name another con-
didate, but apparently they have not
succeeded. Many combinations have
been suggested, but so far they seem
to have proven incapable of being as
sembled into shape sufficiently sub
stantial to show the independent and
uninstructed delegates how another
candidate can be named. Men who
are supposed to hold the balance OF
power have asked the Parker oppo'
nents to say what would be done after
Parker had been put out of the race,
but they say they as yet have received
no satisfactory answer.
The keystone of the anti-Parker
arch fell last night and the delegation
of Pennsylvania, by vote of fifty-sev-
en- to five, six not voting. decided to
cast it's siXty-eight votes as unit for
Judge Parker on the first ballot. This
seems to be the beginning of the end.
German. Gray and Cleveland have
been suggested. But no man is pre-
pared to give assurances that either
could receive the nomination. The
mention of Cleveland has tendency
in some quarters to solidify the Par
ker strength. for many delegates say
40 %f> fo1y
slightest chance of allowing Cleveland
q fourth nomination.
German Boom Too Late.
While there is friendly feeling for
German among the Southern dele
gates, including those who are under
instructions or bound by the unit rule
to vote for Parker, yet the FREEDOM
inant expression from this element is
that the effort now making in behalf
of the Maryland senator is too late.
They also point to the fact that when
delegates were being chosen German
gave no sign that he desired the nom.
ination. 1t is too much to expect.
they say, that delegates who were
chosen as Parker men. whether under
instructions or not, will desert him
now or as long as there is POSSIBLE
ity of securing his nomination
The opposition to Judge Parker in
its effort to tighten the lines and make
sure of holding the delegations now
counted as opposed to him, brought out
two new candidates in the persons of
Former Governor Pattison of Pennsyl-
vania and General Miles. The opposi-
tion leaders appreciate to the utmost
the difficulty of preventing stampede
to Parker should his lead become pro-
nouncedly manifest, but they are
counting upon doing this by appeal
ing to the local pride of the different
favorite son delegations to hold on as
long as possible.
No announcement has been given
out from Senator German, but his posi-
ton as conditional candidate has.
however, become so we'll known that
no formal statement from him is ne
cessary His friends still expect to
press his candidacy if Parker fails of
success, and in the meantime they will
do all they can to bring about such a
situation.
