For nearly five minutes the ship

Then there was plunge, with a
sigh of air escaping from the hold
mingled with the crying of children
and shrieks of women, and the ship
was on the bottom of the river, cast
ing hundreds of living creatures into
the water.
Many sank, entangled with clothing
and bundles, and did not rise, but hun
dreds came to the surface, giving the
river the appearance of crowded
bathing beach. Many seized float:' !,

Boats were put out, tugs rushed to
the scene with Shrieking whistles and
many men snatched off their coats
and sprang into the river to aid the
drowning. With thousands of specta-
tors ready to aid and the wharf within
grasp hundreds went to death despite
every effort to rescue. Three hun
dred persons persisted in the hull Of
the steamer.

SEVEN THOUSAND PEOPLE
IN THE PLEASURE PARTY

Seven thousand tickets had been
sold for the Western Electric outing
and practically that number of people
appeared at the wharf to go aboard
five large steamers provided for their
accommodation. The steamer East
land, brought to Chicago from Lake
Erie after an unsatisfactory career,
was the first to be loaded.
Rain began to fall as the wharf SUI
perintendents lifted the gang planks
from the Eastland, declaring that the
government limit of $500 passengers
had been reached. White dresses
peeped from raincoats along the shore
rails as those aboard waved goodbye
to friends on shore waiting to board
the steamer Theodore Roosevelt and
ether vessels.
Then the passengers swarmed to
the left side of the ship as the other
steamers drew up the river toward
the wharf. A tug was hitched to the
Eastland. ropes were ordered cast off
and the steamers engines began 10
hum. The Eastland had not budged,
however.

Chicago, July 24.-More than 1000
persons lost their lives in the Chicago
river at 7:40 a. m. today by the cap
sizing of the excursion steamer East
land while warping from its wharf
with more than 2,4OO employees of the
Western Electric company and their
relatives and friends on board bound
for a pleasure trip across Lake Mich
igan. Seventy-ive per cent of the
victime were women and children.
The Eastland, said by marine archi-
tects to have been top heavy and bal
lasted in an uncertain manner, turned
over inside of five minutes after it
began to list, pouring it's gala passen-
gers into the river or imprisoning
them in its submerged hull.
Every effort was made by thousands
of persons on the river wharf to res
cue the drowning, but many persisted
almost within grasp of the river bank.
Mothers went to death, while their
children were snatched to safety.
Other children died in the arms Of
their parents, who were finally saved.

French observers of the political sit

Yesterday between King Victor En-

Giolitti that the non-intervention party
IN italy has determined TO withdraw all
opposition to the war. Consequently,
the Italian parties would be united in

Serbia and Belgium, and that the

the Mediterranean can now be salts

Military writer's are presenting the
argument that war for Germany and
Austria on a third frontier undoubtedly
will make the resistance of the central

Paris, May ll.-French and British
troops, supported by the guns Of the

attack which has carried them over
several lines Of trenches defending the
Turkish front across the southern end
Of the Gallipoli Peninsula. According
to bulletin issued tonight by the
Ministry of War, the Allies columns
began the assault on last Saturday
evening. The communique pays trlb-
ute to the dash and courage OF the al
lied troops, which were forced 10
charge up the heights in the neighbor-
hood of Krithia before they reached
the Turks OF the summit, and drove
them out with the bayonet.
All these positions, the communique
states, have been consolidated and
fortified, and the Turks have made no
effort to regain them.
French on the European Side.
To-day's official announcement con-
tains the first information tina. French
troops are operating with the British
on the Gallipoli Peninsula. The
French first dsembarked on the Ash

and engaged Turkish forces at Kun

TO the south on the coast. II Is evi-
dent that, when they withdrew after
accomplishing the task Of keeping the
enemy busy during the landing OF
British forces on the opposite side OF
the Dardanelles, they were sent across
to the peninsula to aid the columns
already in action.
A Turkish official communication
coming by way of Berlin and Amster-

, BY her Italian citizens and protected
against any possible attempt on her
nationality, Italy might be satisfied 70
receive the remainder Of Italian terri
tory now under Austrian administra-
ton, leaving az the same time Trlest

"Such an arrangement would natural.
" call for guarantees and pledges OF
q very serious character, such as would
make certain that the accord could not
be altered in the future.
Great Britain and France, although
at war with Austria Hungary, have
never undertaken any serious military
action against her. Furthermore, | be-
lieve this feeling certainly would IN
crease if Emperor Nicholas, rising 10
the same height as did Peter the Great,
could accomplish the latter's political
testament and occupy Constanstinople,
for the reason that from Constantly.

threaten the Mediterranean. the Suez

which would revive the old antagon-
ism between Great Britain and Russia.

surprised at her being the first to com e

"This development might come with

under the terms OF which Russia was
20 guarantee the territorial integrity
of Turkey, being in return permitted
20 pass freely from the Black Sea 20

such an outcome as this would lead
TO the reconstruction OF the League
Of the Three Emperors.
These are the principal reasons
why Italy, unless II cannot be helped'
should not break her treaty with Ger

which expires in 1911. But at the
