Hoosler Senator Pays His Bospects
in Making- Short Call at
Sagamoro Hill.
OYSTER BAY, L. I., July 5.-PreS-dent
Roosevelt today transacted
the first public business he has j
tnken up since his arrival here on
Saturday. Whllo nothing of serious
importanco was considered, he and
Secretary Loeb spent two or three
hours in disposing of minor public matters.
The President has not yet taken up
I the question of the appointment of a
successor of the late J. H. Brigham,
late Assistant Secretary of Agricul
ture, and it may be some time before
the appointment Is announced.
The only visitor of Importance to
Sagamore Hill during the early part of
today was Senator Beveridge of Indi
ana. He is a guest of Joseph Searce
at the latter's country home, not far
from Sagamore Hill. It was the first
lime since thc Chicago convention that
the President and Senator Beveridge
have met, and their interview was
purely informal and a friendly ex
change of views on political subjects,
and was without special significance.

Missing Boats From
filiated Norge
Hope That Few More Out of Long
List of Victims Might Have
Survived Vanishes.
LONDON. July a Tho passing of an
other day with no news of thc miss
ing boats of tho ill-fated Banish
steamer Norge. which foundered off
Rockall reef, 230 miles from tho Scottish
mainland on Juno 23, lessens tho hope that
a few more out of the long list of victims
migui nave ueen counieu among lae sur
vivors. The search of tho neighboring
waters will, however, be prosecuted until
the last hopa has gone.
Thc Danish Government and tho steam
ship company have sont out a steamship
to search the seas for tho boats anil the
vessel will visit ah tho islands within a
Eosslblc radius, but thc rescued at GrhnH
y and Stornoway, who havo gone through
a terrible experience, bollevc that there
in now little ground for hope unless an
outgoing vessel should havo picked up ono
or more of the boats or unless the sur
vivors havo landed at St. Kllda and Flan
nan Islands.
While the stories of tho survlvorH natur
ally differ in soma detail, In thc main they
agree that in tho supremo moment there
were exhibitions of marvelous heroism,
and additional stories of their experioncea
today only add ln this particular to what
has already been told ln tho Associated
Press dispatches.

threatened to supply strength for the H
conservatives being eliminated until l ?)i I (B
tho opposition Is now confessedly in ' ; i, ' ' ' (

that the nomination is confidently pre-

decisive. ' '.'
Fight Is Still On. jlf lj; ij
Though the result of the contest for ' :!( 'j H
the Presidential nomination seems to be ' ,
as good as settled, that spirit Which i " j H
moves factions to wur against each i ''., u j H
other has not been so far removed that I, iJ fj
the convention will be lacking in en- 'lB
thuslasm or interest. The changed po- H, ' , f

eight yearB ago, is attracting wide at- U ' i'l
tentlon from delegates and persons who W; n. ltM
are assembled as spectators. William I- t), JnH
J. Bryan is the most picturesque figure. , I r ij ,
Twice the candidate of his party for j, ,

But tho Parker forces displayed no 'hl ll
