Buried in Quicksand.
Developments indicate that the
bodies of the missing victims have
been sucked into the quicksands and
will never be recovered. 1t was shown
by the hosting of the wrecked engine
that an immense deposit of quicksand
lay under the piers of the wrecked
bridge, and it is also believed there is
an underflow that has undoubtedly
carried bodies deep down in the sand,
entirely out Of sight, where they can
never be recovered. Further investi-
cation reveals the fact that quicksand
exists everywhere along the river, and
this is taken to explain the failure to
find number of bodies.

THE BUTCHERS STRIKE.
No Signs Of Peace Apparent at Chicago
New York Butchers Are
Called Out

New York, Aug. 11.-Following the ul-
timatum given the packers by the Anal
gamated Beef Cutters and Butchers
Workmen of America Tuesday that a
general strike would 60 into effect
Wednesday, the order became operative
at the time set. The plants affected are
those affiliated with the so-called beef
trust"
Chicago, Aug. 12.-Therei is practically
no hope of settlement of the strike
through the Intervention of the retail
meat dealers. The packers expressed a
willingness to confer with committee
of the dealers, but they broadly intimat-
ed that under no circumstances would
they agree to another conference with
the strikers representatives.
AS a matter of fact the packers have
agreed that there is no necessity for an
other conference with the leaders of the
strike. They say the strikers violated
the first agreement. and that since that
violation the packing plants have con-
tinued to do business with constantly in
creasing success.
st. Joseph. Mo-, Aug. 12-One packer
estimates that over quarter of a mil
lion dollars has been lost to wage earn
ers here since the strike was inaugu-
rated a month ago. But the employees
of the packing houses have not been the
only losers. The railroads, the street
railway company and stock growers
have suffered heavily. If losses in all
lines were computed the estimate would
run beyond 81, 100000. OF the 5000 men
who struck about two-thirds have re-
turned. to work.

Judge Parker So Declares in Speech
Accepting Nomination-For-
mally Notified IS

Esopus, N. Y, Aug. 11.-Judge Alton
B. Parker on Wednesday received formal
notification of his nomination for the
presidency of the United States as the
candidate of the democratic party and in
accepting gave public expression for the
first time of his views on the issues of the
campaign. The notification was brought
to him by Representative Champ Clark,
of Missouri, as chairman of a committee
representing every state and territory
in the union. Mr.. Clark in brief speech
informed the candidate of his nomina-
ton and presented to him formal COM
munication signed by the committee.
Standing bare headed, during a brief
lullsin the rain storm which had lasted
since soon after daylight, Judge Parker
accepted the nomination and set forth
his views in a speech that evoked fire.
quent and hearty applause. He spoke
for little more than half an hour. His
pledge not to accept a second term if he
was elected aroused instant interest,
which increased to marked enthusiasm
when the speaker went on to explain his
position.
The ceremony was held on the lawn at
Rosemont, under the trees at the north
of the house and was attended by upward
of 600 people, the larger number of whom
came from New York city with the noti-
fication committee on the steamer Saga
more During most of the time occupied by
Champ Clark speech the rain was falling
in steady drizZle, but it stopped entire
ly just as Judge Parker began his ad-
dress, and held off until he finished.
AS soon as the little party reached the
stand, Representative Clark began his ad-
dress. After declaring that the democrats
had been reunited, he continued: 'The
ST. Louis convention carried out no cut
and-dried programme. Its delegates
were not mere automatons or marion
cites, waving and talking when the
strings were pulled by enc man. Speech
and action were absolutely free, and the
great debates which took place there will
constitute part of the permanent polit-
ical literature of the country. No effort
was made to gag or bride anyone. If a
delegate had pet idea which he was
anxious to exploit he was given an ade-
luate and respectful hearing before either
the platform committee or the entire
convention. Every man had his say. To
none was opportunity denied Out of it
all grew such unity as encourages lovers
of liberty and of pure government every
where"
He outlined the aims of democracy
and concluded by handing Judge Parker
the formal announcement of his NOM
nation.
