Springfield, Ill., July 4.—The 600 or
600 delegates that were expected to
attend the populist national convention
in this city today did not put in an
appearance, and when the convention
was called to order this afternoon there
were fewer than 200 delegates in the
hall. The citizens of Springfield took
no interest in the convention and there
were not more than twenty-five per-
sons present besides the delegates.
Mayor Devereaux, who was scheduled
to extend a word of welcome to the
populists at the opening of the con-
vention, did not show up, neither did
he send a representative or an ex-
planation of his absence. There were
hundreds of empty seats in the large

servers, only to find in some instances
that the strings were rotten and they
could not quickly be put around their
bodies. Those who reached the deck
saw the nose of the Norge pinned di-
reetly against the rock. It remainej
\ there only a few minutes, for Captain
Gundell, commanding, who had imme-
. d lately gone to the bridge, gave the
order to have the engines reversed,
gome of the engineers’ force had rela-
tives among the passengers and after
seeing them safely to the boats they
heroically returned to their stations
below. Slowly the ship backed, and
as she gained way it was found that
water was pouring into her hold. This
announcement called in Scandinavian
. and presaging death added to the su-
preme fright and agony. The passen-
ger* who were piled in the boats were
fortunate ones who were to escape,
while the unfortunates who saw death
near clustered In the vicinity, a seeth-
ing. struggling mass, some on their
knees prayihg, surrounded by children,
ether supplicating aid from one an-
other and shrieking for permission to
enter the boats, elbowing and fighting
their way to the places from, which the
boats were being lowered. The sound
of grinding ceased, the bow of the
Norge yawed as the steamer turned
to deep water. The sea rushed hun-
grily into the huge rente made by the
rocks in the iron hull. Swiftly the
hull began to sink. Without wailing
, for orders, without paying any atten-
tion to their propemanning, the oc-
cupants began to lower the boats. The
starboard lifeboats began slowly tot
fall, when, to the horror of those on
board, the stern tackle failed, while
the bow tackle ran free. Hoon the
boat was almost perpendicular. Those
who were in it clung desperately along
the sides and reats, until a great wave
came towering along and struck the
boat, smashing it against the side of
the ship. Those who were not killed
were thrown into the waler. The crew
and passengers on deck had no time
to spare to assist the few who had a
chance to escape but had lost it. A
second boat, loaded principally with
women and children, was lowered.
This time the tackle ran smoothly, but
the hopes of escape of th© passengers
on board were blasted. The moment
it touched the water waves picked up
the small craft as if it had been a
feather and dashed it against the side
of the ship in spite of the frantic ef-
forts of the passengers to send It off.
The crash was heard on deck. The
sea swallowed more victims and pieces
'of wreckage slowly drifted toward the
rocks.
The upper deck of tha Norge at the
time of the disaster to the second boat
was only a few feet from the water
and it was apparent to every one it
was only a few minutes more and she
would plunge oeneath the waves. In
the final crisis those who were able to
remember clearly what happened say
that the shrieks and sobs died away
and that the quiet was only broken
by the curses of some men whose fear
found vent in blasphemy.
Suddenly one man threw himself
overboard and another followed his
trample. Still another jumped Into
the Water and soon hundreds of peo-
ple were struggling in th* sea, "having
preferred death in the open to being
submerged with the ship. Others
( stood by the ship, hoping against hope
that she would remain afloat.
Three boats it is known successfully
reached the sea. The passengers fran-
tically pulled away from the doomed
•hip, passing by poor wretches who
were still afloat and who vainly beg-
ged to be taken on board, while from
the ship came long despairing cries.

Standpipe pack for the state cham-

Both cups were won today by Curran,

pose of sw imming to a second boat not
far away. He had only gone a short
distance when his strength gave out
and he sank. Those survivors wish-
ing to continue their journey to Amer-

Grimsby, England, July 4.—A long
pile of granite rising sheer out of the
Atlantic, 290 miles from the Scottish
mainland, I* now a monument to al-
most 700 dead.
Bodies wash against the rocks or lie
in the ocean bed at its base. Near by.
completely hidden by water, is the
Scandinavian-American liner Norge,
which was carrying 800 Danes, Nor-
wegians, Swedes and Finns to join
relatives or friends in America. Of
these only about 130 were saved.
No tragedy of the sea has had more
appalling consequences and none has
occurred in a shorter time. The pas-
sengers were suddenly aroused from
their sleep, terrified by the contact of
the boat with the granite rock, rasping
sounds as the hull was being shoved
over huge rocks, then silence. as the
clang of bells brought the engines to
a stop. Those of the passengers who
, were standing at the time (he steamer
struck the rock, were thrown against
the bulkheads or on the decks and had
not recovered their feet when a sten-
torian voice gave the order, "All hands
on deck. Men, hurry, or you may
eink!"
Immediately there was a rush for
the upper companionways, and men.
women and children rushed and strug-
gled and made every effort to reach
the deck where the boats swung from

Birmingham, Ala., July 4.—The
greatest crowd In the history of local
baseball saw Nashville take the after-
noon game from Birmingham by a
score of 6 to 0. A bunch of errors in I
who were sitting facing the Norge say
they saw the captain still on the bridge
and the passengers on deck in atti-
tudes of resignation. While they look-
ed the boat plunged forward, the stern
shot up in the air and she disappeared.
Those in the vicinity of the ship were
drawn into the vortex, around which
they swirled like chip* in the mael-
strom. But twelve minutes
from the time the ship struck until she
sank.
A dismal rain was falling at the time,
and shut out the view of those who
were brought to Grimsby. Later, so
soon as their boat was clear of the
scene of the wreck, they devoted them-
Seives to thoughts of their own safety.
A jacket was tied to an oar, which in
turn was fastened in the bow of the
boat, and a sailor, a Dane, took charge
of the boat. Men and women were put
to work keeping the boat afloat, as
a hole had been stove in her bow when
it was lowered from the ship. An ex-
amination of the water cask showed
that it did not contain a drop of water.
Thre were some biscuits, however,
and these were eaten by the ship-
wrecked people during the twenty-
four hours from the time the ship
struck at 7 a. m., June 28, until they
were picked up by the Grimsby whale.*
Sylvia. Karl Mathiesen, the Danish
sailor who assumed command of the
boat brought to Grimsby, only joined
the Norge at Copenhagen just before
she sailed for New York. He had
never been Instructed In Finnish and
did not understand what it meant.
He heard the captain shout the order
to the men to man the boats. Mathie-
aen said to the representative of the
Associated Press:
"I worked with the third mate and
followed him to the different boats.

Chicago, July 4.—The phenomenal

one hit and a single run.
hus written a letter to the effect that
he does not want to be the standard
bearer fpr the populists this year.
Williams of Indiana Is leaving noth-
ing undone to canture the nomination,
and his friends say tonight that if he
can not get first place On the ticket ho
is willing to take second. It is gener-
ally understood that a large number
of delegates favor the Indiana man
for vice president.
That the future of the populist party
depends in a great measure on the,
action of the delegates at St. Louis I*
admitted and diacussed by the dele-
gates tu th© populist national con ven- l
tion. The leaders who are here be-
lieve that a gold democrat will be I
nominated at St. Louis and W. J.
Bryan, will leave the democratic party
and come into the ranks of populism.
With him and his friends supporting I
populistic principles, the delegates
here think there will be more hope
for the future.
On the other hand, If Mr. Bryon and
his irlends should control the St. Louis
convention or receive recognition,
many of the leaders here cay there
would be little use of the populist
party to make a fight this year,
"If the democrats throw Bryan down
nt Ht, Louis," said Judge Williams of
Indiana. "we will be stronger than
ever, and populism will live and gain
strength.”
Many of the delegates believe a mis- ]
take was made when the populist con- 1
vention was not postponed until after «
the Ht. Louis convention. I
aThat a platform will be adopted and
a ticket nominated before this convem- '
tion adjourn* seems beycnd all doubt. <
There is considerable disappoint- t
ment that some of the recognised lead- •
ers oi the party are absent. Thomas l
E. Watson of Georgia, mentioned as 1
the probable condidate for president. ’
is among the absentees. (
Among the most prominent men in ■
attendance are W. 8. Hardy of Ar kan- 1
saw and Milton Park of Texas.
Watson’s letter has cast considers- 1
bit- gloom over the delegates, as many ‘
fear he is going to desert the party
and they feel that with former Bena- j
tor Marlon Butler out, J A. Parker 1
is going to retire from active work in
the party, and the loss of Watson that 5
there is little use to fight.
But ex-Senator William V. Allen of
Nebraska takes a brighter view of the
situatton, and believe* that sooner or
later the populist party will succeed.
While th© platform is not yet com-
pleted, some of the prominent men
have made an outiine of it. It is un-
derstood that ex-Senator Allen will
have more to say about th* platform
than any other individual. It favors
adoption of the Omaha platform of
1902 with the planks for postal sav-
ings and initiative and referendum.
The feature of the platform to be
adopted will be the money question.
It assumes that the government
should have the making and printing
of all moneys, whether gold or silver,
and that such money* shall be held ।
