ANTI-PARKER MEN
MAKE NO HEADWAY
.ST. LOUIS, July 4.—Parker on the
second ballot, perhaps on the first.
That is tonight the claim of the men
who are in charge of the affairs of
•the New York candidate. 7All day
long the Parker opponents have ; tried
to perfect a programme which would
prolong the balloting and afford ;an
opportunity to name another candi
date, but apparently they have not
succeeded. Many combinations f have
been suggested,' but so far they seem
to have proven incapable of being as
sembled into a shape sufficiently, sub
stantial to show the independent and
uninstructed delegates how another
candidate . can be named. Men who
are supposed to hold the f balance of
power have asked the Parker oppo
nents to say what would be done after
Parker had been put out of the race,
but tonight they say they have received
no satisfactory answer. The action
taken by the Pennsylvania delegation
tonight by the overwhelming vote of
H7 to 5 to vote for Parker only served
to emphasize this view, of the outcome.
Gorman. Gray and Cleveland have
been suggested, but no one is prepared
to give •assurances that either .could
receive the nomination. The mention
of Cleveland has a • tendency in some
quarters to solidify the '; Parker
strength, for many delegates say they"
do not want to take even the slightest
chance of allowing Cleveland, a- fourth
nomination. ; * '.."-.":' -
Too Late For Gorman
.While there is a very friendly feel
ing for Gorman among the Southern
delegates, including those who are un
der instruction*; or bound by the unit
rule to vote for. Parker; the predomi
nant expression from this element is
that the effort now making on behalf
of the Maryland senator is too late.
They, also point to the fact that when
delegate." wore being chosen Gorman
gave no siign that he desired the"nomi
nation. It is too much to expect, they
say,'-"that delegates who .were chosen
as Parker men, whether under instruc
tions or not, will desert' him now or
as long as there to a possibility of se
curing his nomination. . * .
The opposition to Judge -.Parker, in
its effort to tighten the lines and make
sure of holding- the delegations now
counted as opposed to him, has brought
out two new Candidates-in the "persons:
of former Governor I Pattison, of Perm- T
sylvania, and Gen.. Miles. The oppo
sition appreciate to the utmost
the difficulty cf preventing a stampede
to Parker should his lead become pro
nouncedly manifest, but they are
counting upon doing this by appealing
to the local pride of the different fa
vorite son delegations to hoid on as
long as possible.
Mr. Gorman's position-as a condi
tional candidate has become so well
known that no formal statement from
him is necessary. His friends still ex
pect to press his candidacy if Parker
fails of success, and in the meantime
they will do all they can to bring about
•such a situation. . - •*■ .-v
Between Pattison and Cockrell
The wisdom of casting : the votes
known to.be.for.Gorman for other can
didate's has been canvassed, and this
course practically decided upon. 7 It is
no! yet- absolutely- determined just what
aspirant will bei" thus complimented,
but the choice lies between f Pattison
and Cockrell. The votes absolutely
tinder Mr. Gorman's control arPthose
of Maryland, -West Virginia and the
District of Columbia. •
The men who are talking about
Judge Gray, are met with the question
where the votes are to be secured to
nominate him. " ** * * '
-During the day a number of Judson
Harmon's supporters from Ohio ar
rived and established headquarters at
the Jefferson. They say that thirty
five members of the delegation are for
him. -■-■:•"•''.';-...; ■--......
The delegations with favorite sons
as yet manifest an unwillingness; to
enter into combinations, and in the in
terest of their own candidates they do
not desire to antagonize Parker.
If by any. chance there is a dead
lock they all hope to secure votes from
the Parker column in the breakup. Nor
are the favorite son delegates such as
can be transferred. In several cases
Parker is the second choice of the
delegates.- This is notably true of the
votes instructed for Hearst It is not
Relieved that the editor candidate could
control them for any other candidate,'
while it is evident that.quite a large
number from the Northwest are ready
to vote for Parker on the.second ballot.
Tammany's Contention Unheeded 7
The vigorous declarations of Tam
many leaders that Parker could not
carry New York' seemingly. have had
little or no effect. " : "t>
The fact that the day has passed
without bringing to the fore any figure
around whom the anti-Parker element
seems able to rally has - taken a great
deal of life out of the situation. While
the contest over the platform and the
second place on tlie ticket afford a
great deal of interest when. fought in
the convention itself, the majority of
delegates and those who come to see a
convention and shout for : their favor
ites are almost wholly interested in the
head of the ticket. The result is that
an air of apathy pervades the lobbies
and other places where the rank and
file assemble. . .:-.-.-
A real contest on the platform is
assured. No one yet knows what the
platform will be, but it is known that
the majority draft will prove unsatisfac
tory to Bryan and his followers, and
there are enough of them to make an
interesting light on the floor of the
convention. ." - , .-.-■■ ./**--
The developments today before th-**
national committee also indicate £ that
Bryan . will be in evidence /when-: the
committee on credentials: reports.

Pennsylvania Declares for" Parker
The action of; Pennsylvania ■ tonight
.in i voting to .; abandon | its favorite .son
and support Judge Parker J almosts en
tirely changed \ the. situation so \ far •as
the divided sentiment in. the New York
delegation 7 was concerned. - : Senator
Hill was led to • remark; that with an
other small -accession - Judge 7 Parker,
would "be elected on the first ballot. 1
William -J?,:': Sheehan, who been the
active ' leader of the j Parker forces, ; arid
August Belmont deprecated this and
argued that it would be '- wise to allow
the other states to at . least 3 have the
honor "of •; naming in convention *: their
favorite candidates., 77 ,- : . -
-'■'■■ The news was received at 7 the « Tarn-•
many headquarters in' an * entirely | dif
ferent way. • Leader Murphy at first re
fused to believe it, saying he had been
assured late this evening that the dele
gation would support ex-Gov. Pattison.
It was only a few minutes prior to the
announcement of Pennsylvania's vote
that State Senator Thomas F. Grady
had declared that Pennsylvania would
vote for : her favorite ? son ' and that
Tammany had planned. to abandon the
effort to concentrate the anti-Parker
vote and would devote itself to "dis
tributing the : ballots; so v that :. Parker
could not obtain a: : two-thirds 7 vote
prior to the seventh or eighth ballot.
"In this - way," said I Senator Grady,
"we will be able to convince the con-,
vention that it would better seject some
other. candidate, either" Cleveland,' Mc-
Clellan or Gray." .-;;: 7. -
After the 1*: announcement had been
made to ; them of Pennsylvania's deci
sion and they had "somewhat recovered
from their surprise, they still j gave lit
as 'their; view that there" would be
enough votes held by individual states
not instructed. for Parker, or voting
for.; individual; -candidates -to prevent
Mr. Parker from obtaining a nominat
ing vote ;■. at : least the first '- five or six
ballots. Leader.Murphy ; himself said:
"We expected Pennsylvania to. have
a candidate of its own, but we are not
disheartened. There are still 7two or
three days before , the nomination, and
we- shall- continue to do .active work
against 9 Mr. : Parker, not - because Iwe
dislike; him i personally, but *we - know
that he cannot carry New York state."
Tammany^ Is Rebuffed 7.7';-.
Bourke Cockran'and some others of
the leaders in Tammany went over *to
Alabama's delegation during the even
ing to; try and, persuade them to con
solidate their ten -Parker votes.
Alabama has twenty-two X votes, \ twelve
of whom are instructed for Parker, the
o .'.ers being divided on several candi
dates. It is understood that Mr. Cock
ran was. met with z the threat by' the
twelve Parker.; adherents that if any
attempt was made to" consolidate the
other interests they -would adopt "f the
unit rule and cast the .whole twenty
two votes for Parker.l "*•' - *
- Still ■ another rebuke ''■ to -Tammany's
plans came j from Virginia. Tammany,
assisted by Henry; G. Davis, of West
Virginia,. had f been attempting jto win
the Virginia delegation away 7 from
Parker.^ Senator V Martin, of -Virginia,
telegraphed- Senator Hill this after
noon that while en route to. the con
vention - the Virginia -delegation had:
voted unanimously to support Judge
Parker, yz-yyy .-.-- '*.;;■• ;-> :; : _■ . -..-_
7 - Practically the campaign of the war
ring factions of New York-closed for
the j night just" after, Pennsylvania's de
cision was 7 announced, but I Tammany
threatens 'to . renew *it tomorrow. The'
New York delegation will meet at 10
o'clock tomorrow rmorning7 to * name
members of various committees.'.- *
-•"( Try to Unite on Gray '•
■;Headquarters 7 were established to
day at the St. Nicholas hotel in the in
terests of j Judge George Gray.-of Dela
ware. It ..was said:. that the New Jer
sey delegation .was favorable to Judge
Gray if Cleveland is not to" be - brought
forward. /Senator Tillman hopes sto
bring the , South Carolina delegation'
over to Gray, although fa; majority -of
them *. have expressed .* a preference i for
Parker. y The candidacy; of "Judge * Gray
is being encouraged;, by the opponents
of Judge ' Parker,^ who hope that I Gray
.will : get some of trief; Parker votes.
The Hearst ; people remained buoyant

ters i his ; managers said that l> all;,: the
[delegates 7 that v were ; instructed y - and

ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 4.—The na- I.'
tipnal. committee met today to decide,.
' the • "contests for seats ff on 7 the 7 tem
porary roll '. call, : and -to transact mat
ters of routine business.; It was the
general opinion f before the -'.'"■' meeting.
that there .would be' a "warm fight,' par
ticularly fon the Illinois -.'contest, 7as itf
was known that William J. Bryan, who
: has. made the quarrel of ff the Harrison
and Hearst people in: that state against
John. P. Hopkins -a f matter of This own,
| had secured the proxy of James C.
;■ Dahlman, the national committeeman
j from X Nebraska, and '■; was to .enter"the)
i meeting to make a fight for his friends:-.
John P. Hopkins was. also a member :of
the * committee ■: by virtue ,of I his ; proxy
through Thomas Gahan,; of Illinois. 7 f
A - motion, .backed- by - the Harrison
and . Hearst | people, § providing that ail:
the j contests for seats * under j the ter- \
porary - roll call, should vbe referred to;
subcommittees, which should .v report
■ j back Ito j the general committee later | in:
the \. day, precipitated; the crisis. iiltl is
well known that Chairman James 7K.
Jones, of the national committee, is not
a friend of John; P. Hopkins, and the
Harrison and Hearst ,-'•, factions hoped
that in naming. the committee-; to decide
\ the • contest rin*; Illinois °he would: name
; men friendly to them and opposed 'to
Mr. Hopkins.
f Bryan Argues
Mr. Bryan made a strong argument
for. - the | appointment - of f the - subcom-f
mittees - by.-, the - chairman; and ■ John P.
. Hopkins fought I his own fight by ask
. ing that all- the contests -be jj heard j and
decided by the committee as a whole.
On the vote ■; the Harrison and Hearst
faction showed 7 the greater strength,"
and it was decided by -a" vote* of 29 to 16.
that ..the: chairman should"--name the
subcommittees this afternoon. 7f '.-'
The ■,'_ Harrison 7. and -fi Hearst ff people
were "jubilant ? after the adjournment
of the committee;*; saying < that . they had
scored a success -in * the first round . of

John P. "Hopkins,-on the other hand,

would not only win out on the tem

permanent seats in the convention. 7 In.
the first part \of this opinion, at least,
he was supported by a number of the
members of ■ the 1 committee"■ who 7 had
voted against his plea to' have the con
tests settled by '. the f national commit
tee as a 'whole.*.7 These committeemen

officer told me she was sinking and I told him'to jump over
board, which he did. I did not see him ; again. ?1 went down
with the steamer. My right leg got jammed bet-ween stan
chions and -was very much injured. When I rose to the sur
face I noticed bodies floating. ' '*■'■'*" r - "-*;.:.

f the statement that on Saturday morning one of the children
in the life boat died, and with the consent of the parents, who
were in the life boat, the body was buried at sea. Those res

*- ROUSED : FRO M^ SLEEP TO i DIE
'%} GRIMSBY, Eng., July 4.—A lone/ pile
of; granite rising sheer | out of the. At
; lantic* 290 miles from £' the 7 Scottish

most seven •,-• hundred -f . dead. Bodies
wash against ' the rocks •' or lie In ■ the"

t pletely hidden %in •? : the water, is the
Scandinavian-American >7 liner ./f Norge,
which \ carrying ) 800 - Danes, Nor
wegians, Swedes and Finns to .join
relatives or friends in America. Of
!these:f only ; about 130 were ; saved.
No tragedy of the sea has had more
appalling j consequences - and ,-. none • has
occurred ;in ' a ' shorter time. f The * pas
sengers ff were ". suddenly aroused from
; their/sleep, terrified by the contact of
. the bows |of 7 the-3 ship s with f the X. solid
granite, followed by a grinding, rasp
ing sound 7as if ; the | hull was being
shored over huge rocks. Then f si
lence, as the clanging bells brought the
engines to a stop. Those of the pas
sengers who were standing ( at the
time ; the steamer struck the rock' were
thrown /against * the;- bulkheads 7or on
the/decks- and had ; riot f recovered , their
feet/when "a-stentorian/voice gave - the
terrifying order: ':--. '
"All hands on deck! Hurry or you
may sink!" ''.- - ~ '/'
Rush for.,the Deck
■ Immediately there was a rush for ; the
narrow .-cbmpanibriways and * men,
.women; arid children pushed and strug
gled and " made every other effort; to
reach the ; deck : where. the boats swung
from -the davits. Many persons, re
taining their presence of mind/ seized
'■ life/ preservers; only; to find: in - some in
stances 7 that the „ strings 7were . rottenf
arid that they could- not be quickly
put around their f bodies. -.7/-." ' "
. Those who reached the deck saw the
nose Xof ; the/ Norge .7- pinned directly
against the rock. 7 It-remained - there
only a few minutes, for Capt. , Gundell,
commanding, r who 7 had immediately
gone to the • bridge,; gave the order/ to

Water Pours Into; Hold
Slowly the ship backed off and as she
gained • way ." : it;-". was found that water
was pouring : into her h01d.7" This : an
nouncement, . called out in; Scandina
vian ; and • presaging death, added :to the
supreme fright and * agony. 7 The \ pas
sengers who were■'; piled in: the boats
were the fortunate ones .who were ' to
. escape, ■ while . the unfortunates, who
saw death;near/clustered in the . vicing
ity, seething, {struggling-, masses, some
on their knees, praying, surrounded by
children, others^ supplicating aid ■_ from
any one and ? shrieking * for permission
'_ to ; enter/ the boats, fighting way
to the f* places '.' from; which "the boats
were being * lowered. The 7 sound of
grinding ceased, the bow; of the Norge
yawed the steamer f- returned X to
deep iwater.: fThe'* sea*; rushed ; hungrily,
into the \ huge rents made by the rocks
in the "f iron/hull. 7 Swiftly the vessel
began to sink by .the ff bows.
7 Without waiting for orders, ..without
paying attention to their "proper J man-,
ning, the occupants began to lower the
boats. The *- starboard i lifeboat '% began
slowly to i fall when to/ the horror of
those on board { the X stern > tackle : failed,;
while the bow tackle ran i free. 7 7-
*~? Soon the boat was almost perpendic
ular. Those who were in it clung des
perately to the sides and /seats .until
a f great ■ wave came towering - along and
struck the \ boat, smashing 3i tg against
the side of the ship. The occupants
of f boat who were not killed -^ by/the
i impact S were thrown into the water.
The crew and '; passengers deck Ihad
no time to spare "- to 5. assist the few
who had a/ chance/ to escape, but lost
it.

the small .craft/as- if it '; had :c been ■ a
feather and dashed . it against the side
of f the ship - ii' spite of the frantic ef
forts of the passengers to fend it off.
The crash was heard on deck. Then
the sea swallowed more victims, and
■ pieces fof wreckage-slowly drifted to ■
wards the rock. 7 7 7"
The upper deck of the Norge at the
time /of the -*disaster/.;to the n'second'
boat was only a "few feet; from the
water and it was apparent to f every
one that 'only a few minutes more and
she ; would ,be plunged beneath 7 the
waves. In' the final crisis 7 those who
were able to f; remember clearly r-. what
happened say that the shrieks arid sobs
died; away arid 7 that the quiet was
broken only by the curses of some men
whose/ fear found vent in blasphemy.

7 # Karl 7 Mathieson, .'ithe7Danish-;sailor:
who $ assumed Ls command -'i of £ the TE-boat
