A large proportion Of those who died

officers of the ship or cut them to
pieces with long knives.

struck was bestial Men seized what
ever weapon came to hand, and the
struggle for life preservers and boats
began. The ship was rapidly sinking
by the stern, and the officers and crew
tried to get the women and children
off in boats. One boat was already
filed with women and children, when
a group of men. armed with knives,
attacked them, killing several and fore
ing the others to give up their places.
At this point another group Of men
ran up, attacked those who had cap
tured the boat, and a scene of carnage
ensued during which the ship went
down with the frantic men struggling
on the deck and the boat which might
have been the means of saving score
Of lives, unlaunched.

the conference will be held today to

John D. Dennison, of Dubuque; but for
other places on the ticket there has
been little talk. There is no factional
alignment visible on the ticket or plat
form. Regarding one thing all who
have arrived are fully agreed and that
is endorsement for Bryan for president.
Among the most conspicuous in this

have opposed Bryan. 1t is expected
the tariff plank in the platform will
demand immediate revision, and plac-
