Result of Illinois Primary Ballot on

Chicago Aug 7.-Senator Shelby
M. Cullom has prevailed at the Repub-
lican primaries After one of the most
spectacular controversies ever seen in
the state he won Cook county by a
plurality Of more than 1900, while
what meager returns are in from out
side POINTS indicate that he has Sc
cured districts enough to assure him
victory over his principal opponent,
former Governor Richard Yates. Sem
ator Cullom's plurality in the state is
estimated at from $4,000 to $4,000.
OF all the candidates, either Demo-
cratic OF Republican, Congressman
William Lorimer of the Sixth district
and Congress sman James r. Mann put
up the most spirited campaign for re-
nomination Both won their districts
by handsome majorities. In the Eight

LACKS PUBLIC SYMPATHY.
Strike at st. Petersburg Doomed tc
Failure.

st. Petersburg. Aug 7.--Unless dis
patches from the interior within a few
hours entirely change the situation
the general strike promises to prove a
complete failure. Although the Lib
erals are strongly opposed to the
course OF the government they shrink
from precipitating revolution and
the horrors OF a civil war, in which
the country would be plunged if the
plans OF the proletariat leaders were
successful. Not only is the sympathy
OF the intelligent public lacking. but
In st. Petersburg the leaders of the
various labor organizations find many
Of the followers luhewarm and even In
open rebellion against their orders.
When the central committee Of the
Printers union adjourned many of the
men returned to their cases with the
result that four newspapers appeared
In the morning. The central commit
tee of the railroad mems unions finds
so many OF the men either opposed to
q strike or afraid to risk the loss of
their positions, with Imprisonment into
the bargain, that it has not yet SO far
as known issued a formal order to
strike II the train service is not
brought to standstill the collapse of
the strike movement is inevitable.

eTRlkERs' ORGANIZATION AT ST.
PETERSBURG CRUSHED BY
THE GOVERNMENT.
aEvoluIlonlsT CAMP IN CONFUSION
HOPE NOW cENTEREp IN MOS.
COW. BUT THAT CITY is
REPORTED QUIET.

st. Petersburg, Aug. THE govern
ment has practically succeeded in
crushing the organization OF the strike
leaders here. The central committee
of the Social Democrats has been cap
tured and placed in prison and the
greatest confusion prevails in the rev.
olutionary camp. The hope of the rev.
olutiOnists Is now centered in MOSCOW.
The st. Petersburg railroad committee
has decided to await the result Of the
strike at Moscowsbefore attempting to
order out the men. Wednesday is now
the day on which they say the rail
road strike will begin. The employees
Of several of the street railroad lines
who struck Saturday have resumed
work.
The prefect OF police of Cronstadt,
acting under the authority Of the COM
mander of the fortress, has notified
the striking longshoremen there that
unless they return to work they will
be expelled from the island.
The authorities are using all the
means at their disposal to block the
revolutionary moves in every direction
and appear convinced that the strike
leaders cannot gather sufficient head
way to endanger the life of the state
Indeed, they believe that nothing more
than local strikes, which will soon de-
generate into the old story of crime
p-t-
cipal danger is expected in South Rus
sia. from which the tide might sweep
nOrthward.

TIE FOR CONTROL OF THE
LiFE8oATs.

Cartagena, Spain, Aug. 7.-Over 800
emigrants, most of them Italians and
Spaniards, were drowned in the wreck
of the Italian steamship Sirio off Hor.
megas island, from Genoa for BARGE.
Iona. Cadiz, Mchtevideo and Buenos
Ayres, with about 800 persons on
board.
The remainder of the passengers
and the officers and crew got away in
the ships boats or were rescued by
boats from the shore.
Several fishermen who made at.
tempts at rescue were drowned
Those rescued from the vessel are
now at Cape Palos in pitiable condi-
tion, being without food or clothing.
The disaster occurred while the
steamer was threading a difficult pas
sage through the Hormegas group,
where the Rajos Hormegas reef is a
continual menace to navigation.
The vessel began to settle rapidly
Immediately after she had struck and
terrible scene of panic and con-
fusion ensued on board. The fisher
men along the coast sought to render
every assistance in their power and
sent out boats, which brought many
survivors ashore.
Captain Ends His Life.
When the captain saw that the ves-
sci was lost and that the emigrants
had captured the boat he committed
suicide with a revolver The other
officers then lost their heads and there
was nobody to direct the crew.
Eyewitnesses give awful pictures Of
the brutal panic that followed For
half an hour the emigrants were mas
ters OF the situation. They completely
oyercame the crew by sheer force Of
numbers and this in spite of the efforts
of the officers. who tried to save the
women and children first
A group of emigrants approached
one of the ships boats. which was
already full and which was about to
be launched. and dislodged the people,
killing several with their knives. Just
as they were about to occupy the boat
themselves another body of emigrants
came up and fierce fight for the life
boat followed
Many of the survivors brought
ashore were seriously wounded and a
number had sustained fractured
limbs. Some Of the injured subse-
Quently died
The Sirio had seen twenty-three
years Of service, but she was consid-
cred to be In seaworthy condition.
She was built of iron and wood, had a
single screw, was of 1000 tons gross
register and had a speed Of 15 knots
per hour. Her captain, Giuseppe
Baradi, was a native of Genoa and a
veteran seaman.

that he was in the habit of following
%peaceable Indians as they passed
through the settlements in order to get
s|urreptitious shots at them, and it was
no secret that he had killed more than
one in that way.
Immediately after the death of her

bered among the best people in the
neighborhood.
Thomas seems to have been the only
member of the family whose character
was not entirely respectable. He was.
idle, thriftless, poor, Il hunter and n
rover. one year he wandered away of
to his uncle, on the Holston, near the
confines of Tennessee. Another year
he wandered into Breckinridge county,
where his easy good nature WAS over
come by a huge bully. and he perform
ed the only remarkable achievement of
his life by whipping him. In 1S06 we
find him in Hardin county trying to
learn the carpenters trade.
Thomas Lincoln was not tall and
thin, like Abraham, but comparatively
short and stout, standing about five
feet ten inches in his shoes. His hair
was dark and coarse. his complexion
brown, his face round and full. his
eyes gray and his nose large and prom.
inent. He weighed, at different times,
from 10 to 1876. He was built SO
tight and compact that Dennis
Hanks declares he never could find the
points of separation between his ribs,
though he felt for them often. He was
a little stoop shouldered and walked
with n slow, halting step, But he was
sinewy and brave and, his habitually
peaceable disposition once fairly over
borne, was a tremendous man in a
rough and tumble fight. He thrashed
the monstrous bully Of Breckenridge
county in three minutes and came off
without a scratch.
