ALTGELD. Phere would not have been the slightest difficulty abcut of the Chicago piatform if had not been so much noise it. People came here sho.utme that 16 must not and there was nothing for Bryan to do but be against it. He had to declare for a specific silver plank out of sheer self-leferse. It was this hotel lobby demand for a modified platform that killed such a platform, if one was wanted. Bryan had to keep his record clear and he has kept it clear. “It is my opinion that there will be specific silver at 16 to 1 in the platform, and |] not thing. Perhaps it would not be a good thing string. “So far as vice-presidential candidates are what the convention must A straightour must not have a negative running mate.

While a majority favor a 16 to 1 plank, the strong minority hope to secure a ‘“‘conservative platform,” lowa—The first choice of- the delegates for vice-president is Carter H. Harrison of Cnicaga. Notwithstanding the alleged con- version of Mr. Sells to Mr. Bryan's financial Views, more than two-thirds of the dele- Fates are opposed to a specific declaration in the platform of a 16 to 1 policy. Kansas—William Sulzer of New York Its the Cchaice of the delegates for vice-presi- dent, although they are opposed to a spe- cifle 16 to 1 plank.

Staples of that state. ‘‘We want 16 to 1, and we think that is the best way Of getting it. The state has no choice for vice-president,”’ he said. “but will probably follow the lead of New York State if it agrees upon a suitable man.” Maryland—Members of the delegation who have arrived announce that in case a deadlock becomes imminent in the ballot- ing for the vice-presidential candidate t! name of Gov. John Walter Smith of étate probably will be presented as a didate The candidacy of Mr. Towne apparently in disfavor with the Maryland delegates. Not all the members of the delegations have arrived, and until a cau- cus is held no one will express an opinion in regard to the pl itform. Minnesota—The delegation will do posstbhle to procure the nomination of Charles A. Towne for vice-president, The delega want the Chicago platform reaf- firmed and an antl-imperilism plank add- ed. Mississippi—Senator 6ippi was among the early probably will represent his committee on platform. “I am for firmation -of the Chicago platform, said, ‘‘for a strong plank in denunciation of imperialism; for the denunciation of the trusts and the gold standard law and for the severe condemnation of the rascality in Cuba. I want an especially strong dec- laration on imperialism.”’ Nebraska-—The majority of the members of the Nebraska delegation came prepared make a atroneg fight, if necessary. for the insertion in the platform of a plank de- claring in the most specific terms for 16 to 1. The delegates have no preference for vice-president, but they want a man acceptable to Mr. Bryan. Nevada—Representative the first member of the Nevada delega- tion to arrive. ‘‘Nevada will not be cap- tious abour any part of the platform,” said he, ‘“‘We wili do that which Mr. Bryan wants done. If it is his desire that a plank specifically dec'aring for the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 should be inserted in the platform it will be done. Personally I am in favor of the nomination of Mr. Towne for vice-president.”’ North Dako:a—Any man who New York is the choice of the delegation for vice-president. They want a Bryan platform, ‘‘Bryan has been consistent and 60, too, has the Democracy of North Dako- ta,’ they say. Ohio—No delegates expressing themselves in favor of bimetallism were willng that their names should be used in declaring the attitude of their state, but they were a unit in saying that Ohio did not want the lf to 1 plank inserted in the platform. A W. Patrick will be given.a complimentary vote for vice-president. « Pennsylvania—While the Pennsylvania cmlegation came here committed to Hill for the vice-presidency and a conservative plat- form, it thas been somewhat upset bv the lack of definite information touching upon what passed between Bryan and H#ll at Lincoln and the firmness of Brvan's de- mand for a reaffirmation in strong terms of the Chicago platform.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 3.—The nation- al Democratic committee today disposed of the business before it with alacrity, The contests were first decided, and of these the Montana case was the first to be taken up. The report of the subcommittee was favorable to Clark and this report was adopted without delay. The temporary chairmanship was decided in favor of Gen, Thomas of Colorado.

This position was occupied by Mr, Will- iams. chairman of the subcommittee.

He isin politics because he loves it,and be- cnuse he loves to help his friends. As he sits or stands about the lobby of the Balti- more, from which he rarely moves, promi- nent Democrats from all over the country greet him familiarly and shake him by the hand. They have met him at national con- wentions every four years for thirty years. He is quiet, unassuming and genial, and never obtrudes his opinions. He likes to xzet off in a corner with a crony and talk poll- ‘tics or swap fish stories and reminiscences 'of the war, in which he was a brave Con- . federate officer. One of Maj. Salmon’s cronies is ex-Gov. Stone. There are just two opinions of Stones among those who know him. Some people hold that he never goes about except in um shoes, that he is cold and selfish, that be cannot be depended upon, and that he knows every trick of the politician’s trade, Others beHeve that he is the biggest man Missouri has produced since Thomas H., Bentom. There is no half-way opinion about Stone. He is either hated bitterly or he is admired extravagantly. Outside of Missouri, especially among Eastern Democrats he is regarded as a very able man. He Knows ev- ery Democratic politician of any importance in the country, and he knows thousands who are of not much importance. Just now ye wishes he didn’t know so many, because ‘very fone of those who have an acquaint- ince with him is demanding a ticket to the sonvention. Just at this juncture it is Impossible to think about Stone without thinking abaut Col. “Bill” Phelps, too. If one could ma- terialize the hatred that lies between these two men, a study of it under the micro- scope would be interesting. Undoubtedly that he ts nearly 50 years old. His smooth face is almost boyish. It lacks wrinkles, His hair is innocent of the frosty marks of age. Cook is a close-mouthed man. It is difficult to beguile him into expressing opin- ions, especially if ‘this auditor is a newspa- per man. Kut he is genial and suave in his manner. He is regarded as a pariieular- ly clever politician. Like Stone, Cook has enemies. Those who do not like him as- cribe to him the same qualities of selfish- ness, coldness and trickery that are cred- ited to Stone by those who do not like him. Whenever a friend of Cook’s hears this es. timate of him, he recalls as refuration af it, that Cook is the only Democrat who was ever elected to office in Warren Cvuun- ty, where the Republican majority is about 1) to one. 3 Gov, Stephens, too, is here. a delegate- at-iarge to the convention. He has been Hof before the public eye so much recentiy on account of the street railway strike that it is superfluous to enter into any discus- sion of his character. Nearly every man in the United States who reads a newspa- per has a well-formed opinion of him. The sovernor is here firmly convinced that Stone is a ‘“‘Aead one,”’ but he can’t resist the temptation to prod the carcass. The governor may be casting sheep’s eves at the senatorship, which ts just now the ardent desire of many Missourians. Champ Clark, M. E. Benton—tnitials are more convenient than his unpronounceabie, but classic Greek given name—and David A. DeArmond, a trio of Missour! congress- men, who are rivals for the Democratic caucus nomination for speaker of the House, are here. Clark is quaint and pic- turesque, DeArmond is scholarly and de.ib- erate. Benton is rough and ready, and all have the quality of good fighters.

KANSAS CITY, July 3.—‘Bim,” the “bute ton man,’’ would make more money selling hokey pokey today than his self-chosen business of vending pictorial expressions of opinion on what the convention will co in the matter of a man to run with Mr. Bryan. Kutton fakere are as numerous In the streets and hetel corridors as cryers for harmony on the money plank, and buttons are as searce on lapels as is the real arii- cle for which the delegates shout. Sulzer is the only man with a boom who hag adhered to it. The Sulzer boomers were an the ground early, and they bought enough Bryan and Sulzer—‘Rhine wine and seltzer,’’ to quote convention wit—buttons to go around upon thetr arrival. Now that word from Lincoln has heen dis- tributed ta the effect that Mr. Hryan re- mains firm in his decision on the money plank, the followers of the leaders imitating their action on the lead in that proposttion are awaiting the arrival of an intimation as to wha will be the choice of Mr. Hryan for second place. Every enthusiast in the convention wants to display on ‘his breast an emblem of his good judgment, or gift of prophecy, but what !s the use of risking either. and the price of the button, when the wires from Lincoln may at any moment put every man in a position to get on the winniae side and say, “I knew it all the time.” All of this is bad for “‘Bim.”” But “Bim” can stand it, for “Bim” had a gold mine tn the McKinley-Roosevelt buttons at Phila- delphia—and they were all made in advatee.

Bryan buttons are plentiful on the fakers’ cards, and nearly every delegate’s hadge contains a likeness of the candidate. but-all the delegates in town do not number e) weh to make the button a feature of the conven- tion. ; Here is a paradoxical situation for stu- dents of human impulses to ponder Vice-presidential buttons are not w. cause the people are waiting to eéhall be the choice, and Bryan buttons are not generally worn because the choice has been made FROM WAY DOWN IN MAINE Special to the Poet-Dispatch.

POST-DISPATCH SNAP SHOTS. Walking is now against the law in St. Louis. The transit company has resumed business. The resurrection of the horse was but a nightmare. With the great strike ended we renew our dreams of progress and prosperity. Surely Gov. Teddy in his bathing suit will impress the ar- dent Administration voter. What would any of us think of a Vice-President who never bathed? Those nervous people who flee to the country on July 4 will not be sorry fo see the Chinese empire rended. They remember where firecrackers first came from. A trust organ notes that the stealing of a quantity of copper was made grand larceny by a rise in the price. If the trusts have their way the increase in grand larceny will be alarming. The census enumerator will do well not to overlook any of the babies left at Union Station. From whatever direc- tion they arrive, they become residents of St. Louis and are entitled to a fair count.

On June 21 the Post-Dispatch published | and the vegetation along its barks and the following letter: Prizes for Exposition Ideas. Louis Exposition and Music Hall Assn. St. Louis, June 6, 1900. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The Exposition wants new ideas and new attractions and will pay prizes for the best. For 16 years the St. Louis Exposition and Music Hall Association have been drawing strangers to the city, and in many other ways benefiting the merchants and people of St. Louis. The various railroads, appre- clating this, have always granted reduced rates for it. No other annual exposition has such a central location, offers so much entertain- ment for eo little, has such a doyal local support, or gives merchants and manu- facturers such an exceilent advertising medium free. The past euccesses can only be repeated or exceeded by the active support of the people of St. Louis, and by neW ideas be- ing constantly put into practice. As the Exposition ‘le owned by the people of St. Louis, the management wish their help in answering the following questions: How cansthe Exposition be made more attractive to visitors’? How can it be made of greater benefit to the city? How can active rivalry be excited among exhibitors? For the beet answer to these questions a rize of $20 will be paid, for the next best 10 and for the next four best $ each will be paid. ‘ Will the Post-Dispatch please make this offer public and receive suggestions.

The new Exposition should exhibit the finest horse in Kentucky, the greatest mule in Missouri, the largest watermelon in Tex. as, the biggest beanpod in New England, the largest pear in California, the riost ex- pansive orange in Florida, the heaviest mosquito in New Jersey, the weightiest potato in Michigan, and so on.

The Epiphany of Fire. HE murmur of the assembly In- tT creased, softened, stopped, while Stel.o Effrena, with light and firm step, ascended the platform in the hail of the Great Council. Turning toward the crowd he looked with dazzled eyes at the formidable monster, composed of innumer- abie faces in the setting of the gold and One might readily show, by «aking a square purple of the vast hall. A sudden swelling of pride helped him to ‘ get control of himse!f again. He bowed be- fore the Queen and at Andriana Duodo, who both smiled at him with the smile | that had greeted him onthe Canale Grande. And he looked around for Foscarina, He examined the first rows, then the back- ground. And now the multitude, silent and expecting. peared to him like an enor- mous chimera covered with eyes, her bust with shining scales, re and heavy sky. Stelio measured the silence in which his first words might have trembled, While his voice was rising to his lips, his will guid- ing and strengthening his eyes against his instinctive uneasiness, he discovered Foas- carina standing upright near the railing which was around the celestial globe. The pale face of the actress, on a neck free from any jewel, rising above the whiteness of her bare éhoulders, stood forth on the background of the zodiacal signs. Stelio admired the art displayed in that attitude. Fixing upon her his admir- ing eyes, he commenced to speak with ex- treme slowness, as if he had atill in his ears the rhythm of the oars. He spoke of the Venetian gardens and their autumnal beauty. And the voice of the speaker, at first as frazen, then clear and penetrating, became on a sudden im- passioned, as if lit up by the invisible sparks which the effort of the improvisation called forth. His hearers felt the excessive tension un- der which the spirit of the youth labored, and it captivated them like one of those games of the circus, where all the her- culean energies of an athlete are called into ylay. Their emotion threw its reflex upon im who had calld it forth by a sort of contagion. It seemed as if he would suc- cumb. For some seconds a thick darkness lay upon his brain; the light of his ideas was extinguished like a tarch in the storm. But he understood that defeat meant disgrace, and by a brutal effort his will lifted him out of this darkness, drawing forth sparks as steel does from a stone. By his eves and by the gesture of his hands, he lifted the soul of the multitude toward the masterpiece which spread a solar radiation aver the sky of the hall, “The Glorification of Venice,” by Paolo Veronese. And he spoke to them of the immortal art, and innumerable faces looked at Ver- onese’s work as if they saw it for the first time. And he passed to the triumph cf Venice, speaking of San Marco, and of the old mas- ters who had rendered her homage—of Tintoretto, of Titian, and last, of Giorgione. ‘We know nothing about him; e is more a myth to us than a real man. But the whole of Venetian art lives in his pictures; from him Titian learned his art to infuse luminous blood into the veins of his creatures. Truly what Giorgione repre- sents in art I would call the ‘Epiphany of the Fire.’ He deserves to be called the ‘Carrier of the Fire,’ another Prometheus. “Every one of the tion line of illus- trious artists has held in his hands for a while the sacred fire which the g brought down to man. Every one of them as plucked yith incombustible hand the flower within the fire.”’ The fingers of the youth plucked In the air the ideal flower, and his eyes went to- ward the celestial sphere, silently to offer the gift of fire to her who guarded below the divine flock of the zodiac. “To you, Perdita!’’ He followed her glance and was led. But the woman was smiling in another direction to some friend in the distance to to a stranger, who suddenly appeared lu- minous on a dark background. Was not that the ginger whose name had resounded from the armor of the war ves- sel in silence and darkness? She appeared to him like an Image of his dreams, created suddenly in that place of his soul where the trace had remained of the brusk sensation which he had felt when entering into the shadow of the high ship. For a moment ehe appeared to him as oe ae the unexpressed ideas within m. And he spoke of Ariadne and of her festi- val, the god coming crowned with vines, offering to her his ring in marriage. An enormous applause followed the clos- ing words of the speaker, dominated at once by the furious clamor of the young disciples, enthuetastically celebrating the triumph of their leader and master. ' Now, Stelio Effrena was alone in the room: of the museum, adjoining the hall. He could not bear the contact of any other person; he needed rest to recover from the extraordinary vibration through which his seul had pussed. Of his recent words he remembered nothing. Onlw that “flower of fire’’ was present to his mind which he had plucked with his imcombosti- bie hands to offer it to the woman who had promised herself to him. He thought over how at the moment of his spontaneous offer —~ — oe Stelio Effrena, an Italian poet, comes to Venice her ; the woman had withdrawn, and instead of absent lock he had found the guiding emile. From the hall accords came to him, in- troducing ‘the symphony of Benedetto Mar- cello. Btdilo listered to the music while the Dionysiaca: chorus was celebrating m Wbilunt tcnes the advent of the god at AXO8. Stelio Effrena had left the museum, and had, through the crowd which willingly opered a way before him, approached t peatiorm of the singers. His eyes looke or Fosearina near the celestial globe, b she was no longer there Where was she Did she sce him, without his seeing her? A confused anxiety was troubling hi In looking over the balconies he though that she might have siepped vvtside t% get some fresh air. But the sudden at iemce of the audience checked him. Somebocp near him whispered the nase of Donatella Arvale. He turned around to the platform. And there, amid slender bows of the violin emerged the singer erect Iike a reed: an like a reed she balanced herself for a moe ment on the fleeting harmonies. The youthfulness of her agile and robus® body shone forth through the folds of he? dress as the flame shines through a thie ivory plate. Rising and sinking around her white fige ure, the bows seemed to take their note® srom the hidden music which was withift{ ey When her lips rounded themselves for heer song Stelio recognized the purity and forc® of the voice before it had ert modulated, as if he had seen a well of clear water ria ing within a crystalline statue. he melody of ancient love and ancient sorrow flew from those lips with sa pura and strong an expression that it suddenly in the soul of her numberless hearer# turned into a mysterious feeling of hap- piness. What that exquisite voice revealed was the eternal love and the eternal sore row of gads and men. The words disap- peared, they were blended and lost all meaning; ed change to pure notes of lové and sorrow, infinitely significant. The wseless regret of lost joy, the fme- Placable desire and the necessity of death, all this passed through her solitary song refined by divine art and sublimed so tha the soul could listen to it without pain. During the pauses the singer lowered her youthful head and remained motionless Hke a statue, white, in the forest of the instru. ments, far aawy from this world, which in a few instants her song had illumined. Stello had iurtively descended into the court to avoid the importunity of the cu- rious. In a derk corner he was awaiting the two women, fhe actress and the sing- ey, who were to join him near the well. | His eyes retained persistently the ima of Donatella—of her graceful, young shapa, with well-formed and powerful hips, erec over the sonorous forest among the bow whose alternating movement seemed t oon forth aotes of the hidden music with n her. And, seized by a queer anguish, he like wise recalled *he image of the other: pol soned by her srt, charged to overflowing with voluptuous experience, with the hint of meg me | and corruption in her eloquent eyes, the dryness of fevers in her hands, with the traces of a hundred masks on her face which had simulated the fury of fa- tal passions. How he had trembled just now at her side while she, taciturn, was returning yith him to the city over.the water, which Seemed to rum for either as in a terrible hour-glass! Ah, why did she now comp to him in the company of that othef tempt- ress? Why did she prt by the side of her des- perate science the pure splendor of that youth? He trebled when he saw Foscarina at the head of the stairs with Donateila Ar- vale so close at her side that both formed but one white spot in the darkness, lit up by smoking torches. He. followed them with his eyes as they descended slowly and afraid as if the next step would bring them to the verge of a precipice. The stranger had during these short hours lived In the soul of the poet yith so intense a life that he had felt sud- denly come to him the living incarnation of one of those ideal creatures begotten by his art. Leaving the shade he approached the two women with a feeling of intoxication. “ath, Effrena,” said Foscarina when ar- riving at his side, ‘“‘we did not expect to find you here. We are very late, Dut we could not get through the crowd.’ Then turning to her companion with a smile she added: “Donatella, this ‘Master of the Fire.’ * Without a word, but by a smile. Donatella Arvale answered the deep bow of the young man. Foscarina sald: We have to look for our gondola. It Hes near the Paglia bridge. You come with us Effrena? Let us get away quick; the crowd is running upon the piazette to eee the queen.” A long unanimous cheer greeted the ap- earance of the blond queen, adorned with ie pearls, on the head of the @tairs where formerly the newly elected Doge received, is the in sight of the people, the ducal Insignia. . At the same moment a thousand rockets resounded, a thousand flery pigeons arose | from the pinnacles of San Marco messene- gers of the Fire. “The Epiphany of the Fire!’ called Fose- carina out before this wonderful spectacle. Donatella Arvyale and Srtello Effrensa estopped beside her. They looked tnto each other’s dazzled eves. And their faces were resplendent, reddened by the reflex, as ff they were leaning over a furnace or & volcano.

The jelly will thus turn Out Without any trouble. BRANDY IN FOOD.—A well-known au- | thority on cookery says that it is equiva- lent to burning money to put brandy in cakes or puddings, because the alcohol burns up and that is the end of it. Any liquid may be substituted where brandy js called tor in the recipe, but as there is’ no substitute for the liquor in the flavoring quailty those who wish to have the taste of the brandy should pour it over the pud- ding or cake-after it is cooked. This same authority says she has made successful experiments with grape juice used in the piace of brandy for mince pies. SWEET POTATO CROQUETES.—To two cupfuls of sweet potatoes, which have beeu beiled and mashed, add seasoning to taste of salt and pepper, a tablespoonful of but- ter, two tadlespoonfuls of milk and the beaten yolks of two eges. Mix well, put in a saucepan and stir over the fire until the potata leaves the sides of the pan. When cold form into ro.ls about an inch In dl- fameter and three inches long. Dip in beaten egg, then in bread crumbs, and fry im bolling cottolene or lard until an amber color. They will louk well arranged as a border around a mound of the mashed po- tatoes amd decorated with tiny springs of parsley. A BROWN SOUBISE BROTH.—Peel and slice four medium-sized onions and put them in a saucepan with two tablespoon- fuls of butter or sweet dripping. over them and let the onions cook siowly for an hour. Then pour in slowly three pints of hot meat-c: vewetable stock. The water in which chulifiower haa been boiled ts excel- lent for this. Add four good-sized siices of stale bread, and salt and pepper to taste, cover again. and tet all cook_ together very slowly for an hour longer. Take from the Gire and rub through a colander, If too thin, boll the broth down to the come sistency of an ordinary cream soup; if too thick {t may be thinned with a Ilttie bow milk. A canape is really a form of conde The bread ts cut Into fancy shapes either toastd or fried in hot fat. Tue sice® are then covered with any mixture of nicely seasoned meat and served for first cours@ at luncheon or for a chafing-dish supper. Anchovy und sardine canapes are very tasty and appetizing. .-When sardines are u plenty of seasoning is required. ee ALMOND IFCING.—Beat the whites of twe exes to a stiff froth, add gradually one- half pound of confectioners sugar, one-half pound of almonds, blancl.ed and pounded to a paste and one-half teaspoonful of essence of bitter almond. Lightiy dust the top the cake with flour, spread on the almond paste, and when nearly dry cover with or dinary icing.

In the match game last night between the Diels Stars, who will represent St. Louis in the international bowling tournament at New York, Julv 16. and a local picked team, the Diels clearly demonstrated thelr-ability to play the strike and spare game with the best team in the country. Considering the fact that this is the first time these five men have played together, their work com- pares favorably with the article of ten pins the All Star team has recently been putting vs an their recent trip throughout the coun- try. In the second game the excitement was at white heat and the team had a clear road for a li0-score game, but on account of Scholpp, who had 211 in the ninth and a spare in the tenth, missing fn the roll-off he deprived the team of the opportunity to make the 1000 score, the team winning out by a score of 9% to 782. T. Froelich carried off the honors for the picked team with an average of 17%. Stuetz was second with 162. | Scholpp and Parte] Stars, both securing ages. The Diels will meet the K.

THE JEFFERSON CLUB, ——— A GREAT LOT OF ENTRIES TO ITS FOURTH OF JULY SPORTS. CHAMPION HENNEMAN OF IOWA. — - The Great Discus Thrower Coming to Test the Mettle of the Local Athletes. The settlement of the street car strike and ‘the magnificent weather pramised by the official forecaster are the two biggest cards the Jefferson Club wl play at their annual celebration and athletic festival io be beld at the Fair Grounds in celebration of the glorious Fowrth. ‘ It is no exaggeration ta say will be an assemblage at the park on Grand avenue closely approximat- ing the 100,000 mark. There is good reason for. this statement, as the big political organization has rented the Fair Grounds for the entire day, and visitars to the picnic will enjoy @ complete round of pleasure from 10 a. m., when the first heat of the 100 yards handicap will be called, to 10 p. m., when the day will be bro wert to a close ‘with g magnificent cis- lay of fire works. Z Jefferson Club “air Grounds far that there picturesque being the owners of . the day, have, with a liberality worthy of the big organization, decided that no admission fee shail be charged to the beautiful] pleasure grounds. Consequently, in additian to the Byports and games to be decided in the sm} 1 ithea- ter during the earlier hours of the day, the guests of the club will be able to witness the regular races of the St. Louls F. Ur Aa ciation in the afternoon, and to enj: the figure and fancy dancing and pyrote. "t 1ica) biaze of glory in the evening. The entries the athletic contest in the arena are of the highest claseéification. The opening event, the 100-yard run, has F. A. Lane for scrateh man, with Fred Heck- wolf on the one-yard mark. In the contest of throwing the discus and the 56-pound weight, Chariev Hennemann of Keokuk—an old St. Louis boy—is on the scratch mark, and his performance will be critically watched, as for many years he was the champion of the country.in this particular line of sport. In the running high jump Ralph Nims of Kast Louis will be accompanied by large party of rootere from the burg ac the bridge. who are of the opinion young Nime can go as high with his allow- ance of 4 inches as Emil Freymark can do from seratch. The correct ecard of the eight events with the entries, fhhandicaps and prizes follow: thietes are cautioned that the games will begin promptly at 10 o'clock.

HOSE. & tL 7 Ve Boathook Used to Push Man Back Into Water Because He Had No Money-—S8Stories of Survivors Reveal Brutalities and Heartlessness Almost Unheard Of. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 3.—Chargees of manity made against the captains and crews of several of the tugboats at the great Hoboken fire will be investigated by the local inspectors of the United States steamboat inspection department. Orders to make such investigation were forwarded from Washington. Innumerable complaints, some of the most heartrending character, are made by sur vivors and witnesses of the horrible hap- penings. Dozens of tugs were hovering about eager to get a line to one of the burning ships and thereby establish a claim to salvage. At the time the waterways between the five piers were filled with men, women and children, swimming or clinging to burning pieces of timber. Many of these were drowned. It boldly asserted on many sides that the tugboat captains gave ‘no thought to the drowning people within such easy reach, but kept after the ships. Forty-six bodies were found in one water- way between piers 1 and 2 yesterday. No organized effort was made to recover tle bodies. -Men in rowboats who were told they would receive $2 for each body they found, stirred up the water with long poles and the bodies came to the surface, The men in the boats worked nearly all day within a .radins of one hundred yards. The bodies found were those of sailors and visitors who were on the docks or the burning shipe. Every one of these should have been res- cued. ie It is charged that some of the tugvoat people haggled with the drowning ones as to what thev cculd pav if they were hauled out. Eye-witnesées declare they saw longshoremen, sailors and others of evi- dent poverty calmly deserted and left to drown. In one case it is daclared a man was beaten away from the side of a tug because he called to the captain, in answer to a query, that he had no money in his pockets. The tugboat inhu- is eaptains one and all de- elare the charges unfounded. Many of them assert that they drew numbers out of the water, or followed the burning ships te také up those who dropped over the sides everv roainute or into the water. In thie way they assert they were abie to Save a greater number than if they had remained near the piers. Charges made against the captain of the tugboat Dandy will be first investigated, according to instructions from W ashington, and if they are proved his license will be revoked. ‘here is no law under which ship masters so accused can be prosecuted crim- inally. Four sailors complained that they were neglected while trying to save themselves --ee in the river. ne of tnem Said: “Two of us were in the river when a cer- tain tug passed us. When we asked the captain to save us he shouted back: You can't come aboard this tug if you haven't any money. ” Wriidet lneineet Barends and Second Offi- cer Hohefeidt of the Kaiser Friedrich made a frightful accusation against another tug- boat. For the sake of a piece of hose not worth more than $2, the officers deciare, they were prevented from saving at least 40 men penned up in the burning Saaie, Mr. Barends did the speaking, and his brother officer corroborated ail that fe said. sO tugs whose crews giing men and dic them. Surgeon Grahn of the Phoenica says he saw the tugboats refuse to rescue thirty men who had jumped from_pier No. 3 soon after the fire started. He said: I heard a man on one of the boats ask the men in the water who were appealing to be saved ‘how much will you give to be taken out?’ One man in the water shouted back: ‘I would rather die than deal with such as you.’ The fellow on the tug cried: ‘Let the greenhorns die.’ ‘Most of the poor fellows did. Adolph Meyer, a fireman on the Main, who was struggling in the river, says that when he cried to a tugboat captain to save him, the answer he got back was, “How much for the job?” . re “T had not the strength to answer. Various people whe witnessed scenes of brutality and inhumanity offered to make affidavits. At the coroner’s inquest the matter may be taken’ up. Supervising Inspector-General Dumont of the steamboat inspection service, Washing- ton. has forwarded a letter to the local inspectors in this city, directing that an investigation be begun at once of the eNarge that the captain of the tugboat Imndy refused to take men from the steamship Bremen because they had no money. In his letter the supervising in- spector-geenral said: OW hile it seems almost incredible that any licensed officer could be gullty of such charges as are alleged against the maéter of the Dandy, yet the charge is so Clir- azed calmly at the strug- oo lift a finger to save “When the burning Saale began to drift down the river,’ said he, “and we saw the open portholes in the side of the ship filled with heads shouting for help, the of- ficers and crew of our vessel were beat to quarters and ordered to stand by~to ren- der what assistance we could, “A boat was lowered and was manned by eight men besides Mr. Hohefeldt. We rowed for the Saale. Near-by was a tug- beat. The people in the ship were howling and. shrieking. I asked one of the deck hands for a hose to play water on the peo- ple. The captain of the boat heard me and yelled out: ‘You can’t have it. We don’t want to burn our hose!’ “I cursed and roared at: him, and finally he let me have the hose. I climbed up on the deck of the Saale and below in one of the saloons I gaw fully 40 men and wom- en. They were nearly dead from the heat. I played the water on them, and one re- vived and was able to climb up to 6afety. “Then the hose was dragged out of my hands by those on the tug. Think of peo- ple who feared to lose a piece of hose not worth $2 when it might have saved 40 lives. I-know I could have saved most of these people if I could have Kept the cold water on them a while longer. [i made me crazy with rage, watching those poor people when they dragged the nose out of my hands. “Later I got a hose from New Yorker, and turned it on the poor eople but it was too late. Many of them ad dropped ‘unconeécious, the others were too far gone to be revived.” Mest bitter in his condemnation of the tugboat captains is Paul Hartman, chief engineer of the Main. “The tugs went everywhere, except where they should have gone,”’ he exclaimed an- rily. “‘They were all after the Kaiser rithelm. They had no eyes for drowning mén. I saw tugbcats hurrying all about, paying not the least attention to the men who were thick in the river all about the ends of the three piens. “Dozens have told me that they saw tug- beat men absolutely refuse to help men who were foundering in the river.” Chief Officer Bolte of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse is equally emphatic in saying the other ships might have been saved if the tugboats had only helped them. “ITeaw Albert, a pantryman on the Matin, Struggling in the river. I could see that he was nearly winded. A tugbsat passed him, coming as near to him as the door there is to me. He yelled to them to help him. The boat was going ina hurry, muk- ing toward the plier / “There was a fellow on the deck cf the tug whoa might almost have reached out and touched Albert. “Swim frou have got no money,’ the fellow said. ‘‘We have got to hustle now: can't fool with you.” Second Officer, Hines of the Main said: “I jumped off the Main's afterdeck and swam out into the river. It was dangerous around the pier ends. Two tugs passed pe They came very close and those on ‘ard saw me plainiy. In the first three or four men were stan@ing on the deck looking at the fire and the burning ships. I called to them for God's sake to save me. One man slapped h‘'s palm and made signs that he wanted money." The most harrowing of all the stories ts that of Oscar Bock, fourth officer of the Saale. He eauys he saw a deckhand de!{ber- ately drive a boat hook into the shoulder of a drowning man, who had been asked for and had refused money for his rescue. “I saw a poor devil,”’ he said, ‘swimming up to a tugboat and begging a deckhand to ull him on the beat. he deckhand asked im for money. ‘I have no money,’ the man cried, wnat aescwtes ‘but I will do any- thing for you—anything you ask. Save me.’ “For answer the deckhand made a vicious biow at the struggling man with the boat hook, driving it into his shoulder. The poor fellow sunk out of sight In’a moment and the deckhand turned and walked away.” ™ Emile Zander, second officer of the Saale, charges that while he was in the water the flreboat cumstantial in its statements that your of- 'fice should take immediate notice of it so that if true auch misconduct may be pun- ished to the extent of your lawful authority under section 4450 R.-F., or if, on the con- trary, the charge ts not sstained, that the master of the Dandy may be officially ex- aerate’ before the public.” ARE RECOVERING THE BODIES Grewsome Work Prosecuted by Volun- teers Who Watched the Tide’s Turn to Bring Up the Dead. After dark last night the boats of the searchers for bodies in the vicinity of burned North German Lloyd piers were provided with bull’s eye lanterns electric hand torches and the force and at work was doubled, so that no bodies might escape up or down the river. The turning of the tide is the time when bodies are started from the bottom and come to the surface. The bodies began to apear Monday afternoon when the tide be- gin to run ebb, and they continued to rise until the tide had fallen almost to dead slack. On the return tide the guards were sent up the river toward the Thingvalla docks, to see that no bodies floated up the river. The guard will be maintained con- stantly for several days. River men do not think that any bodies have yet been car- ried out to sea. Many of the forty-seven bodies found during the first day’s search rose to the surface of the water between the long lines of partly burned pits which are now the only remains of the four great plers. The other bodies were drag- ged from the mud at the bottom of the river, some near the bulkheads and some nearer the river ends of the plers. Scores of men paced about the docks all day in in rowboats, dragging the mud with grap- pling irons or poking with long boathooks. ('sually there were two men in each boat. One rowed while the other knelt in the bow on the lookout. Every floating object was scrutinized. When the finding of a body resulted from the work the men in the bow would use a boathook to bring it alongside. Then a rope would be passed about the legs or the trunk, as the cir- cumstances warranted, and.the man who had been in the bow would go aft and tow the body through the water, while his companion sent the boat around the pler ends and into the basin between the Bre- men and Thingvalla docks to the float of the Valencia Boat Club. Some of the searchers dfd. not return to the float untli they had two and some- times three bodies. This was especially true of those who were at work down toward the Hamburg plers. As soon as the float was reached the boatmen would eitn- er pass the body over to the morgue men or wauld make it fast to the float and go out again on the search. Trip after trip they made during the late afternoon. Then bodies came up in rapid succession. Men were stationed down at the Hamburg piers to watch for any bodies that might float down the stream and be carried toward the bay. The searchers for bodies were volun- teer workers, mostly Hoboken longehore- men. who were thrown out.of employment by the burning of the plers and ships on Saturday. They prosecuted the search without promise of reward, eager to re- cover the bodies of their associates who had perished. The New Jersey Naval Reserves. on the training ship Portsmouth, to the north of the Valencia Club's boathouse, saw the body of a woman floating down the river and made attempts to recover it, but trace of it was lost while the were lowering a boat. It was belleved to be the body of one of the stewardesses of the Main. A grocer named Baxbeegen, 52 years old, of Brooklyn, went to Hoboken with the idea of identifying a friend: He viewed sev- eral bodies in the morgue and soon after- ward dropped dead. One of the most horri- ble features of the fire was the roasting of men and women who might have escaped had the portholes of the burning ships been large enough to crawl through. Mr. Schwab has said that to make the ortholes larger would weaken the ship, ut on this point a prominent naval archi- tect is quoted as saying that it was en- tirely practicable to make the most of the portholes on modern steamships large enough for a man to crawl out through in time of danger. Only the portholes In the “shore stroke,’ a comparatively @emall up- per section amidships, could not be made any larger than they were at present with- out seriously weakening the vessel. TEXAS PROFESSOR’ ESCAPE Unable to Climb a Rope He Was Left to Die, but Escaped Through a Coaling Port. NEW YORK, July 3—Prof. A. EK. Burgoon of the Aeritcultural College at College Sta- thon, Tex., hada thrilling experience cn the steamship Bremen. He was visiting a friend named Wolf. a mechanical engineer of Hoboken. The Texan was very arxious to see the engineer of an ocean steamship, and his friend, who was a friend of one of the engineers of the Bremen, secured per- mission ta pay a visit. They were down in the engine room of the Bremen when the fire started. In an instant they found the usual means of egress cut off by flames. They ran out Into the hold and came to a hatchway, throngh which was suspended a rope. “It is your only hope, professor; shin ft,” sald Wolf. The professor tried to climb the rcepe, but it was beyond his power. “Good-by, the with a number of men who were almost drow he was passed by eight or ten old man; you will bave to go without me,” he said to Wolf. After a final embrace the athlete grasped the’ rope. He reached the air in safety, jumped overboard and was rescued by a passing tug Down in the stokehold the professor found that he had many companions in misery. He counted about 30 engineers, firsmen and coal passers, all huddled in one compart- ment of the hold. After a while one of the engineers opered a coaling port and droppéd him out 1n7to the water. He was picked up by a tug and Bent to a haspital. MURDER WILL BE CHARGED Hoboken’s Mayor Says He Will Bring Tug Captains to Justice on Posi- tive Proofs Which He Has. NEW YORK, July 3.—A sensation was created here today hy an announcement from Mayor Fagin of Hoboken that he will prosecute all tugbcat captains arcainst whom charges of refusing to save life can be substantiated. The mayor says he will apply at onee for warrants charging two tugbcat captains with murder, and that he has evidence to prove that these men used boathooks to keep drowning men from climbing on their tugs because the un- fortunates had no money. An effort is to made also to have the licenses of offending captains reveked. : SO THEY WEDDED 100 -— ——— HOW ONE MARRIAGE IMMEDTI- ATELY INDUCED ANOTHER. William M, Mauerhoff and Clementine Heimberger, both of 1521 Biddle street, were influenced by the marriage Tuesday of their best friends and fellow-boarders, Jos- eph Perrin and Lulu Peterson, to go and do likewise. When they accompanied Perrin and Miss Peterson to the marriage license office, they had no intention of marrying. They had lived in the same house with their friends for several months, and had agreed to act as groomsman and Obridemaid = re- spectively at the wedding. After Clerk Filley had issued the l- cense to Perrin and Miss Peterson, he sug- gested that Mauerhoff and Miss Heimberger also take one, so that 1521 Biddle street might boast of a double wedding. But they answered that marrying was as remote in their calculations as anything possibly could e. The brida! party went to the office of Justice Boettger on South Feurth street, where Perrin and Miss Peterson were -duly wedded. All then re-entered the carriage that was awaiting them and drove north on Fourth street. Mauerhoff and Miss Heimberger engaged in a conversation in an understone. “Well, what do you think of it?’ he asked. “It’s pretty n‘ce,’’ was the reply. “Suppose we get married, too?” sa'd Mau- erhoff, getting very much in- earnest. Migs Heimberger blushed at the sudden proposal, and stammered that Mauerhoff must be foolish. But he was not easily bluffed. “I mean what I say,” he declared. vill be so romantic and you know we pect be married some time. Why now ?”’ Miss Heimberger was taken with the plan and finally expressed her willingness to fol- low the example of their fr_ends. She was cautioned by Mauerhoff to say nothing to Perrin and his bride, and the party rode on in silence until the carriage Was opposite the Fourth street entrance of the courthouse. Then Mauerhoff called to the driver to stop, and, much to the sur- prise of Mr. and Mrs. Perrin, he and Miss Heimberger alighted, saying they would re- turn in a few minutes. The secured a license from Clerk Filley and returned to the carriage. They ordered the driver to go to the house of a minister in North St. Louis. When they were set- tled In the carriage they Mr. and “re ex- not invited Mrs. Perrin to attend their wedding, which was celebrated in a quiet way at the end of the carr'‘age drive.

When the flames started they burned rapidly and the firemen could do little either to extinguish the fire or to Save life. UREGON HAS BEEN FLOATED Feared That She Is Too Large for Rus- Docks at Port Arthur. SHANGHAI, Monday, July 2.—The United States battleship Oregon, which ran ashore off the Island of Hoo Kie, 35 miles northeast of Che Foo, June 28, has been floated off and is expected to reach Port Arthur. WASHINGTON, July 3.—Secretary Long this morning received the following cable- gram from Lieut. A. L. Key, naval at- tache at the United States legation at To- kio, Japan, in regard to the docking of the Oregon: “Tokio, July 3, 1900. “Secretary of the Navy, Washington: “Port Arthur tomorrow.

Fire, started by the explosion of some tn- flammables in the paint room, destroyed the two-story brick bullding at 2117 to 2121 South Second street, occupied by the Koerner- Bruder-Borrowman Lumber Coé.. at 4 o'clock Tuesday morning. The loss its es- timated at $24,000, partially covered by in- surance. 5 T ne blaze was discovered by Charles Wacker, private watchman for the Mound City Distilling Co., which occupy the ad- joining building. Two alarms were turned in, but when the fire companies reached the scene they found it impossible to pre- vent the loss of the lumber company’s building and devoted their attention to sav- ing the distillery. 1 he bullding was the property of Leo R.

Applications for positions of a large num- ber of union men were reported at the Strike headquarters Tuesday morning to have been posted in the sheds of the sey- eral divisions of the transit company, These applications for positions following closely upon the announcement of tne Strike settiement is pointed by some of the ieaders of the union as significant. as showing that many of the men were getting tired and would have applied to the company for reinstatement independent of the organization had a strike settlement not come so quickly.

But in Spite of That There Will Be Fun of the Good Old-Fashioned Sort—Private Cele- brations. Mayor Ziegenhein told the Post-Disatch Tuesday morning that he had not yet de- cided to modify his recent Fourth of July proclamation, notwithstanding the fact that the strike had formally been declared off. “I guess I will let it stand as it is,’’ he sald, 8 That means that the mayor desires that no firearms or large cannon crackers be discharged Wednesday. But there seems every reason to believe that there will be a real, genuine, old-fash- loned celebration the Fourth in St. Louls Wednesday, nevertheless. The feeling of jubllation that exists throughout the city, over the settlement of the strike is more than likely to find ex- pression in a celebration of the Fourth that for vigor and magnificence has not been seen here for years. There will be very few homes in the city where there will not be a private celebration and, although the Nation's Birthday Association will not hold a cele- bration this Fourth of July, there are any number of other organizations that will ob- serve the glorious holiday with flreworks, music and oratory. There will be, as usual, picnics and excursions galore, but in addi- tlon there will be a number of formal cel- ebrations.

Desmond’s Office. | HER STORY AS SHE TOLD IT. SAID HAVILL LEFT HER IN THE RECENT WAR. She Declared They Were Married and She Wanted Him to Admit as Much, but He Re- fused. The wife Orra Havill left in Savannah, Ga., during the Spanish-American war, arrived in St. Louis Tuesday morning and called on Chief of Detectives Desmond to demonstrate that she was Havill’s true wife, and to establish her right to the name she bears. The meeting between Havill and his wife in Chief Desmond’s office was dramatic. Havill was brought in from jail where he has been incarcerated ever since he was arrested on the dymnamiting charge. His face was covered with a two weeks’ growth of stubby dark brown beard. His linen was soiled and his clothing hung shabbily on him. He was emoking a cigar stump and he rolled it uneasily in the corner of his mouth. His small eyes of no certain color alighted on his wife and he started in- voluntarily, for he had no idea that she was in the city. He removed his Dig slouch hat and leaning on Chief Desmond's desk he tried to appear at ease, but with {ll euccess. He then tried to look defiant and this came easier to him. Seated in front of where Orra Havill stood, in a chair by Chief Desmond’ée side, was a little woman dressed entirely in black, rather under the medium in height, and slender, with large black eyes that sparkled with intelligence. She had told Chief Desmond who she was and the chiet had ordered that Havill be brought before hi m. “Do you know this woman?” the chief asked. “I have seen her,’’ replied Havill, with a palpable sneer. “| did not ask you that. I asked you if you knew her,” said the chief. “No. I don’t know her,’ he said, with a defiant look. “Orra Havill,”’ said she, in a tone of sup- pressed emotion, ‘‘How dare you stand up there and deny that you know me? Ask him, please, chief, if I am not his right- ful wife.’’ “You heard what she eaid,”’ mond. ‘Answer her.”’ “IT will not answer. I am not on trial, and you cannot make me answer any questions l do not want to."’ “Orra Havill, I do not want vou nor any- thing you have got. All 1 want you to do is to tell the truth and tell the chief here that I am your lawful wife and that the woman who says she is your wife is not.”’ Havill tald her that if she came to make trouble for him she would find that two could play at that game. “As I said,”’ Fontes Mrs. Havill. ‘“‘all 1 want you to do is to admit that I am your lawful wife and not bring any further dis- grace on our boy.’ “IT have not anything to say to her or any one else now.”’ With this Chief Desmond ordered Havill be sent back to his cell. was no leave taking between man and woman. Havill merely turned on his heel and followed the officer out of the room. ‘‘l was married to Orra Havill on Nov. 7, 1887, at Dixon, Ill,” said the woman to the Post-Dispatch. ““My maiden name was Clara Brautigan and my home was i Dixon.

Afterward he was made ahief clerk at the Illinois penitentiary at Chester. There he got into trouble before his term expired and we were forced to leave.

Can- non command the legation, but they are not being used. The British, German and Italian legations are still standing.” LONDON, July 3, 2:30 p. m.—The fact-that a relief column has been unable to leave Tien Tsin in response to «ne pathetic pray- er of the beleaguered legation at VPekin,‘is generally regarded in London as cestroying almost the last vestige’ of hope for the un- fortunate foreigners penned up in the Chi- nese capital. The worst is feared, ang the massacre of them is in every man's mind. lt is beginning to be felt here that the plausible fiction that no state of war exists is no longer tenable, and a well-equipped modern army belonging io a single nation- ality is needed to deal with them instead of an aégorted expedition of a dozen national- ities. Hence arises the report that Japan shall’ be given a mandate to »smplete the werk ijeft undone in 1894, with proper se- sed that she shall not be again squeezed LONDON, July 3.—A_ special dispatch from Hong Kong says Li Hung Chang has requested a United States gunboat to take him to Tien Tsin.

And the inadvisability of attacking Taku when the international forces were manl- festiy insufficient even to guard the le- ations and the Europeans from retaliation s now generally acknowledged. From the Far~East there is practically no additional news. Rumors are current in Paris that the British Embassy has re- célved notification of the massacre of tiie French and British ministers at Pekin. but there is no confirmation. *Shanghal reports that the international] forces at Tien Tsin are suffering from lack of good drinking water owing to the Pei Ho river being choked with the corpses of Chinese and other victims of the bom- bardment Accordif— to the same dispatches the in- ternational troops, so far from being strong enough to advance towards Pekin. are not sufficiently numerous to attack the (Cnhi- nese still surrounding Tien Tsin and keep- ing up a desultory fire on the place.

These conditions, as defined by Secretary Mack Missick for the Post-Dispateh, have heen the steady decrease of donatitons to the strikers’ relief fund and growing res- tiveness of a large number of the strikers whose families have been suffering from the hardships imposed by the strike.

Rudolph Benz, national organizer of American Federation of Labor, and person- Samuel the possible. W.

I refer now to the boycott agaimst cars of the transit company operated by nonunion men.

GIFT OF AMERICAN WOMEN. French Foreign Minister Pays Splen- did Tribute to Gen. Washington in Accepting for French People. PARIS, July 3.—The ceremonies connected with the unvelling of the equestrian statue of Washington, the gift of “An Association of American Women for the Presentation of a Statue of Washington to France,” passed off today acording to program and under favorable circumstances. Sousa’s Band was in attendance. The United ‘States ambassa- dor, Gen. Horace Porter, presided and de- livered an address. Consul-general Gowdy made the presen- tation and the French minister of foreign affairs, M. Del Casse, accepted in behalf of France. M, Del C in accepting the Statue, said. “The thought of offering France a statue of the hero who was the incarnation of the Virtue of his race, could not but go to the heart of his country. But it touched it more particularly when coming from Amer- ican women, who unite so perfectly valor with grace. I beg the women of the United States to accept, with my respeitful hom- age, the profound thanks of the French na- tion. He whose noble image has been un- veiled may be cited for an examie for the world, but to the citizens of a democracy, especially. I doubt if another could be found ,im history who could unite in the same degree, the qualities demanded for the guidance of a free people.”’ Col. Charles Chaille Wong delivered an oration. The equestrian statue of Washington is in bronse and is about fifteen feet in height to the top of the head of Washington and from twenty-two to twenty-‘ive foot to the point of the uplifted sword. Washing- ton is represented in full military costume, taking command of the American army at Cambridge July 3, 1776 and dedicating his sword to the service of his country. The pedestal was designed by Charles FE McKin of McKin, Mace & White. It Milford granite and Knoxville marble and is about fourteen feet in height and clas- sic in treatment. The sta:ue was ¢ ast nl bronze in New York by the Henry Bronze Co., and the pedestal was exceut ted in the United States. The artichect is an American and the two sculptors, Mr. Dan- iel C. French, who modeled the figure of Washington, and Mr. Edward C. Potter, who made the horse, are both Americans. The whole monument, therefore, is essen- tially American.
