Pieces la Kansas and Missouri
The Stop at Kansas City
CARROLLTON. Mo., Julr 2. Governor
Theodore Roosevelt arrived at Carroll
ton this moraine, one hour late, and pros
pects -were good that the Santa Fe train
would make up much of this time before
reaching Kansas City. The Governor
arose shortly before 7 o'clock, soon after
which breakfast was served in the private
car of Paul Morton, which Is occupied
by the Governor and his party.
Since the first break of dawn there have
been fair-sized crowds of people at the
Btatlons which the train passed, and even
before the Governor was awake, shouts
and cheers for the Hough Rider were
numerous. After breakfast Governor
.Roosevelt responded to the cheers of his
admirers by appearing on the rear plat
form and bowing his acknowledgments,
but In no case did he make any remark
beyond saying: "I thank you," or "I am
glad to see you."
At Carrollton, a number of Kansas City
Republicans, constituting an advance in
ception committee to welcome the Gov
ernor, boarded the train. The committee
was headed by Major William Warner
and W. C. Brown, Republican candidates
for Congress from the Kansas City dis
trict. Met Democrats at Kansas City,
KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 2. Governor
Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, was
given a remarkable reception in this city
today. The Governor, on his way from
New York to attend the annual reunion
of the Rough Riders, which takes place
this week, at Oklahoma City, Okla., ar
rived here at about 9:30 A. M., and for
half an hour Democrats and Republicans
alike united in giving him a vociferous
welcome and In shaking his hands until
he was glad to quit.
The Santa Fe Overland train on which
Governor Roosevelt was traveling was
due at 8:30 A. M. At that hour about 2000
people had congregated In the pnlon De
pot sheds to get a glimpse of New York's
Governor, but by the time the train pulled
In fully 7000 were jammed along the plat
forms sitting on the roofs of the train
sheds and clinging to the Iron girders.
Shortly before Governor Roosevelt's train
arrived, a big delegation of Kansas City
Democrats and a few delegates from that
state, all carrying huge sunflowers, ar
rived, and they also waited to see the
Republican leader.
When finally the train slowly backed
Into the shed and Governor Roosevelt,
smiling and spectacled, was seen on the
platform, a perfect roar of cheers went
up.
"Hello, Teddy," "Rah for Roosevelt,"
"Teddy, step off and talk to the Demo
crats," yelled enthusiastic members of
the crowd.
The Governor laughed at the last re
mark, but refused to talk politics.
The instant the train stopped, a Tush
was made for the platform to shake Gov
ernor Roosevelt's hand, and it took the
united efforts of a score of policemen
stationed around the car to keep the
crowd from degenerating into a perfect
mob. For 20 minutes the Governor was
kept busy shaking hands with enthusi
astic men and women, who succeeded in
crowding up to the car platform. Several
members of the Rough Riders' Regiment,
attired in khaki, were among those at the
station, and to these the Governor gave
an especially cordial greeting. The crush
during the struggle to shake Governor
Roosevelt's hand was terrible, and sev
eral women fainted in the crowd. No
one, however, was seriously hurt.
The train was boarded at Carrollton,
Mo., this morning, by a delegation from
Kansas City, headed by Major William
Warner, and a committee from Kansas
City, Kan., headed by Postmaster Nat
Warner, who gave the Governor formal
welcome to Missouri and Kansas, and
accompanied him to this city.
Just before the train carrying Gov
ernor Roosevelt and his party reached
Kansas City today, the Governor met and
exchanged pleasantries with Congressman
John J. Lentz, of Columbus, O., who was
journeying to the Kansas City conven
tion on the same train.
C. C. Phlllbric, chairman of the delega
tion which is seeking to have the Demo
cratic National Headquarters located in
Oolumbus this year, escorted Mr. Lents
into Governor Roosevelt's private car, and
made the two men acquainted. The New
York Governor and the Ohio Congress
man greeted each other very cordially,
and. In the course of a very brief conver
sation. Governor Roosevelt stated It as
his opinion that It would be Impolitic for
the Democratic convention to weaken on
the silver question.
"The people do not like a quitter," was
the way the Governor expressed it. Mr.
Lentz conceded that It would weaken the
party to take any backward step on sil
ver, Mr. Lrentz was afterwards asked by the
Associated Press for his opinion of the
candidacy of David B. Hill for Vice-President.
"I am not against Mr. Hill, personally,"
he said, "but I believe In a consistent
ticket, and any ticket that would make
a controversy in our own household would
not be consistent. Moreover, there are
Very few people who are gplng to vote
either way on account of the tall of the
ticket."
' Ex-Governor John P. Altgeld, of Illi
nois, also reached Kansas City today.
Political Speech at Lawrence.
LAWRENCE. Kan., July 2. Governor
Roosevelt was greeted here today by an
immense crowd, and made hte .first speech
of a political character during the trip
He said:
v-My Fellow Citizens I am doubly
glad to come here to Kansas because It
was Kansas that had more to do than
anything with my being nominated for
Vice-President." (A voice from the crowd:
We will nominate you for President four
years from now.")
"We wiir win this year first," proceeded
Governor Roosevelt, "and we are going
to do It right off the handle, too." (Great
applause.)
"Speaking here a.t Lawrence, I want to
say how pleased I was this morning at
being greeted by a delegation of the Twen
tieth Kansas. A year ago at Las Vegas
we drank the health of the Twentieth
Kansas, and only wished we could have
had the opportunity to oe beside it as It
was doing its glorious work in the Phil
ippines. There is just one body that I put
ahead of that regiment, and I know that
the Twentieth Kansas agrees with me In
that and that is the Grand Army of the
Republic, the men who fought In the big
war; Our war was not a big war, be
cause' It did not have to be. (Laughter.)
It was Just a bit of the police, work of
the world, and we did it, and, what Is
more, we are going to go on doing. It
until brigandage ceases In the Philip
pines. (Applause)
"I am not talking politics; I am talk
ing plain Americanism." (A voice: "That
Is what Republicanism Is.")
"My friend, you are right," answered
the Governor. "I can hardly help talking
politico, because every principle of Na
.tional honor and civic righteousness is at
Btake this Fall."
Continuous and Hearty Ovation.
TOPBKA, Kan., July 2. As Governor
Roosovelt swept across the Sunflower
State, today, he was greeted by a con
tinuous and hearty ovation. The stops
betweestftKansas iCIry and Topeka were
Try brief, and the Governor., refrained
from any extended addresses. At evy
point the crowd woe clamorous for a
speech, but wens satisfied with a bow, a
smilo and brief expression of the Gov
ernor's pleasure at moating -them. Wfirth
as maay as could bo reached he invari
ably shook hands. Tho applause waa
without limit, and appeared to come from
people of all degrees otf politics. It was
not eo much for Roosevelt as a candidate
tor Vice-President as for "Teddy, the
Rough Rider," and the man.
This, tbte capital city of Kansas, turned
out en masse today to greet Governor
Roosevelt. The Governor was. cheered en
thus&stlcally as he stepped upon the rear
platform. He was introduced as "the
.candidate for Vice-President, but a can
didate for something else further along."
The Governor saSd in part:
"I have been looking at your wondesv
ful crops of corn and wbeat. Who modo
these great crops? You did not by laws.
You could stop your prosperity easy
enough by legislation. If the people of
this oountry choose to make jacks of
themselves, they can, stop their prosper
ity very qulcMy."
Greeted by Soldiers.
OSAGE CITY, Kan., July 2. Many
members of the Twentieth Kansas greet
ed Governor Roosevelt et this town today.
The ttta&n stopped only a brief moment,
but in that time the Governor Kiosk
hands with a large umnber of men and
women, and made a. ehont address.
Sound Expansion. Tallc at Emporia.
EMPORIA, Kan.. July 2. Governor
Roosevelt's speech Ja Emporia -today was
the longest he has yet delivered during
tbo trip to Oklahoma. The Governor
ttauncbed almost immediately Jzvto the
subject of politUcs, and this appeased to
please his auditors. At one time when
he epokn of 16 to 1, s. woman in the crowd
became excited, threw her arms wikUy
to .the air and shouted: "Thank God, we
don't want 16 to 1 any more, and wo
won't have AV
Governor Roosevelt said at Emporia:
"I cum glad that I should be making my
first speech since I was nominated, here
in Kansas, because It was your delega
tion that forced me to become a VJco
Precddential candidate; and, inasmuch as
you are mainly responsible tfor me, it Is
well that I should come here to speak to
you. I only had the pleasure of know
ing one of your citizens weR-'tho late
Senator Preston B. Plumb; and I know
we5l another of your citizens William
Allen White; and I have -caught Mr.
White on his way to the effete East, and
he is going to spend next Sunday with
me at Oyster Bay. Now, it Is not my
intention to say a word about poCttlcs
on this trip. But I don't know that I
can very well help it, because this year
&& Issues that are at stake in pontics are
those In which I believe with my whole
heart and soul; because to me the honor
amd weKare of the country are at stake.
Now, why ore you here today? Because
you expanded over Kaunas. (Applause.)
In 1S03 this territory was acquired under
the Louisiana purchase; and many good
people of the Nor&cas said it was per
fect folly to buj this country 'we" never
could expand into It; we ought not to
take it away from the Indians, who had
it.' Weil, you went ahead; you did ex
pand, and you are here now; and the
sentiment against acquiring this territory
is dead, exactly the same as the ques
tion whether we are to abandon the work
that we did last year and -the year before
is & dead question. You sent your sons
to the Philippines; your sons' blood waters
the soil of those Islands. The flag is there
and it won't come down. (Applause.) Do
you respect most the man who goes
ttirough life seeing If h can't hove an
easy time, or the man who sees his work
and does it? You are trying to bring up
your sons so that whan they meet diffi
culties they shall overcome thorn, not
shirk them. We must play our part
among the great nations of the world,
and we must settle tt whether we shall
play that part well or fll. We aro going
to put down brigandage and outrage and
murder In the Phffllpptoes, just as sure
as fatebarring just one tiatag; if ho
American people choose to go klUP-cor-nered
next November, you will have ail
the brigandage to the PhiHpptoes that
is possible, But it will stop, because the
election will go straight next November;
and we are gang to introduce to the Phil
ippines the kind of liberty that follows
and can only follow orderly adrntixEstrn
rJon of Justice, lfberty for each moo to
lead his life as he wes best, provided he
does not wrong1 his fellows.
"And now I am tempted to speak about
some questions of Democratic interest.
The k itrust is quite aa issue m Now
York. (Laughter.) I won't say anything
on tfie subject of the Ice trust until I see
what Is said about trusts ta general at
Kansas Caty. My fellow-dttrera of New
York are boiling over with enthusiasm
against trusts in the abstract, but own-
rag ail tne stock they can get of one
trust in the concrete. I want to see
whether they meet thes questtotns fair
and square at Kansas City, or whether
they straddle them. But it makes no dif
ference how they stand; we wCH stand
fair and square an all these questions.
"I deeply appreciate the honor conferred
upon me in this nosnmtatSon, and I can re
quite you in Just one way, and that is
by keeping faith absolutely with you. I
will tell you nothing on the stump that
I would not say oft the stump; I will
promise nothing that I would not try to
m$ke good after election. And if words
have any value, It depends upon what
they have done in the past. (Applause.)
You remember Oast FaM you were toM
that prosperity has como to you by the
work of your own hands. H this Nation
is allowed to go on as it has for the past
three years, we shall see such prosperity
in this country as the son has not shone
on ta any nation on earth before. I ap
peal to you, for the sake of -material pros
perity, and in the name of the honor and
renown of America the good name of
the Nation. I thank you." (Great ap
plause.) All Florence Turns Oat.
FLORENCE. Kan., July 2. Almost the
entire population of this little city tunned
out this afternoon to greet Theodore
RooseveSt, and hundreds had the- pleasure
of grasping his hand. The Governor spoke
brfcfly. referring to the presence in his
former regiment of several negroes, grad
uates of the Haskell Institute, at Law
rence, Kan.
"If wo eves have another war," he said,
"which I earnestly hope we will not,
maybe I will have some Filipinos in my
regiment. In any country that we ac
quire, we are bound to see that justice
and orderly liberty obtains. "We cannot
get away from our work In the Philip
pines. The character of men whom Pres
ident McKimley Is sending to our new
territories is a guaranty that the worjc
will be done well men like Judge Taft
and General Wood, and Governor Alien,
of Porto Rico. Wo have got the wolf
by the ears, and we cannot get away from
those new duties. Now we must decide
whether we are gotog to flinch or wheth
er we are going to go on and finish this
great work."
Leaves Train at IfeTrton.
NEWTON, Kan., July 2. Governor
Roosevelt addressed an enthusiastic au
dience of 2000 to the Auditorium this af
ternoon. It was the first time the Gov
ernor had leit the train since leaving
Chicago, all his previous speeches hav
ing been made from the rear platform
of his private car. His address was
alone the same lines as those delivered
at Topeka and Emporia, touching upon
the questions of imperialism and silver.
'You of the greai West," he said, "were
told four, years ago that you would never
get prosperity without 16 to L But you did
not got It, and yet you look pretty mid
dling prosperous. Now. when a man says
you can't have prosperity unless you have
something that afterward proves to be
to put it mfidly on error, don't you trust
him any more. You cannot by legislation
secure welibekig. Foolish law laws that
would disrupt our economic and financial
systjem-would nullify the hardest work
that Kansas could ever do. Leirfslntloti trtti
never make the thrif tikes prosper. Now
we navo acneveu proepenry. oon t lot us
be fools enough to throw away what we
.liR.vw'' not." L ' '
I " On the way backMo the , car- the Gov-

esccr was- competed to shake hands with
hundreds of admirers, and one enthusi
astic citizen shouted, as the train pulled
cut: "We would like to keep you here,
Teddy!"
Roosevelt at Oklahoma.
OKLAHOMA, O. T., July 2. The "Free
Homes" boomers were given a part In
the "Rough Riders" reunion today, the
principal feature of the platform exer
cises being a speech by Dennis T. Flynn,
Territorial Delegate to Congress, who
told of the free homes legislation, which
brought cheer to CO.OOO firesides, he said.
Mr. Flynn also made a plea for state
hood. In the afternoon at the fair, grounds,
10,000 people witnessed a riding contest.
The result was a tie between Bruce Do
lan, of Texas, and Ward Sles, of Indiaa
Territory. Miss Lucile Mulhall, an ex
pert rider, attracted much attention A
prize for the quick roping and tying of
cattle was won by J. E. Merrill, of Round
Rock, Tex., who consumed 51 seconds.
The evening's entertainment consisted of
fireworks and a spectacular exposition of
the battle of San Juan Hill. Tbo mili
tary ball tonight waa the most brilliant
event Oklahoma City ever witnessed.
The Roosevelt Rough Riders Reunion
Association organized for the ensuing
year as follows: President, Captain
McCllatock, B Troop, Arizona; Captain
Frits Muller, F Troop. New Mexico;
first vice-president; JJeutenant John
Greenaway, G Troop, Arkansas; .second
vice-president; and secretary and treas
urer, Charles B. Hunter, D Troop, Enid.
O. T. Tomorrow the next place of meet
ing will be selected. Colorado Springs,
Colo., will probably be chosen.
Governor Roosevelt's reception here was
flattering In the extreme, and probably
the warmest that has been tendered him
in many a day. The Rough Riders in
their khaki uniforms were everywhere
present, and all of them were shouting
lustily for "Teddy." Fully 10.000 people
were gathered about the station, and
their voices went In unison in a great
acclaim to the hero of San Juan, while
tho band played "There'll Be a Hot Time
in the Old Town Tonight." A carriage
completely wrapped with American flags
was in waiting, and Governor Roosevelt
was prevailed upon to enter it and bo
driven to the new Hotel Lee, where a
short reception was tendered him, after
which he returned to his private car for
the night. The crowd in the streets was
tremendous, and everything looks promis
ing for a lively time in this city of the
plains tomorrow.
WON BY PENNSYLVANIA.
The Postponed Fonr-Oar Raoo at
Pongrhlceepsle.
POUGHKEDPSD3Tn. Y., July 2. The
four-oared race started at 10:12. Colum
bia was slightly In the lead, with Penn
sylvania and Cornell close up, rowing
neck and neck. Pennsylvania led at the
quarter mile by half a length. At the
mile mark Columbia took a bad swerve
from her course. Pennsylvania and Cor
nell were fighting for a first place.
Approaching the bridge, Pennsylvania
and Cornell were still fighting for first
place, with the Quakers about a quarter
of a length in the lead. All three crews
were rowing 36 strokes. The wash of the
Cornell shell caused the Columbia crew
to drop back several lengths.
At tho one mile and a half, Cornell and
Pennsylvania were still fighting for the
lead, and Cornell's steersman seemed to
be swerving towards the west shore. The
Pennsylvania shell swerved slightly to
the east. The Cornell steersman got
away out of the course, the crew rowing
in an oblique direction for the west shore.
Columbia gained on the Cornell shell be
cause its steersman had kept almost a
direct course.
At the finish of the race the Columbia
and Pennsylvania launches drew up
alongside of their respective crews. The
Columbia crowd on their launch cheered
the crew, and then gave another cheer
for the unfortunate Cornell crew, which
lay close to the west bank. All the mun
seemed to be in bad shape. Numbors 2, 3
and A were compelled to throw water on
the bow man. A rowboat towed the Cor
nell launch Into the channel within reach
of Courtney's launch. The Pennsylvania
and Columbia crews rowed to their quar
ters, each apparently in fine condition.
The Cornell crew was lifted out of their
shell. The bow man was apparently over
come. He was placed on a bench In th
launch, and covered with coats. His pros
tratlon furnished an explanation for the
crew having rowed out of their counc.
Following Is the official time:
Pennsylvania, 10:31 1-5.
Columbia, 10:35.
Cornell did not finish.

THE GREAT iiOBOKEN FIRE
LOSS OF lilFE AKD PROPERTY AS
HEAVY AS FIRST REPORTED.
J
Recovering: Bodies Frefes. the Earned
Ships Tnsboat Captains
Sought Only Salvage.
NEW YORK, July i Forty-eight hours
after the start of the fire In the North
German Lloyd Steamship Company's
docks at Hoboken, the loss of life and
property appears fully as great as first
reports made them. Bpdles are being
picked up almost every half hour, and at
the turn of the tide It is believed there
will be many more bodies brought to the
surface. Moat of the bodies recovered are
so blackened, shriveled and distorted by
the action of the fire and water that It
is evident the dying suffered terriblo
agony. Identification can only be made
IQW in most cases by little' trinkets or
adornments found on the bodies. Masses
of human flesh, charred, and blackened
beyond all semblance of humanity, lie
encased in boxes at the morgues, and
it is a hopeless task for any one to dis
tinguish the features of the corpses. Hun
dreds called at the morgues In this city
at all hours of the day and last night
seeking friends or relatives. In nearly
every case it waa an unsuccessful quest.
The bodies at the New York morgue in
clude 11 men and one woman. One of the
men was Identified by survivors of the
Saale as that of August Waller, & ma
chinist on the Saale.
The loss of property sustained in the
destruction of the ships, docks, ware
houses and some river craft was ap
proximately estimated by the Associated
Press last night at 56,120,000. The North
German Lloyd line today held to its esti
mate that Its loss would be unden 35.000,
000. Mr. Campbell holds to his statement
made last night that the losses in his j
ncixcuuuaco ttUUlU Hjacn OV,UW IOT UIO
buildings themselves, end $L250,UM for the
contents.
The North German Lloyd line are going
to use what docks can be given them
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
untH, they can secure dock facilities to
accommodate them, pending the rebuild
ing of the destroyed piers. Today they
sent down to the piers and furnished
money to any of their seamen or other
employes who were found. Fourteen
thousand dollars was distributed to them
and clothing and food wero provided.
About 2:30 P. M. a diver oij the Saale
reported that he had discovered eight
bodies on that ship. One of these was
on the main deck and the head and feet
had been burned to a crisp. Tho seven
other bodies were found in the gang
way leading from the .ateerago. It is
believed that there are yet many bodies
to be recovered from the wrecks, and two
large wrecking derricks are alongside
them removing the bent and twisted
pieces of heavy Iron that cover their
holds.
At the New York morgue, where 12
bodies are now lying, the most horrible
phases of the Are are shown. Each body
Is in a pine box. As the people coma Into
the building looking for dead friends and
relatives, the men of the place, who have
become hardened to all human sympathy,
slide out the body and after being viewed,
push it back unfeelingly as the person
passes on despairingly to the next. The
scenes at these places are enough to
turn the heart of almost any man.
Second Officer Sanders, of the Saale,
said tonight that several of the officers
of the steamships would Issue a statement
in a few days, signed and sworn to, that
the captains of the tugs did not do aU In
their power to help the ships that were
lying at their docks. Officer Sanders
said that his ship had been cut loose from
the pier, and that he and another officer
stood on the stem of the ship with men
ready to man lines to the tugboats. He
said they shouted to the tugboat cap
tains, a number of whom were close
under his ship, but that no response was
made, the tug3 simply lying by until they
could got near enough to the great Kaiser
Wllhelm der Grosse to render enough
assistance to claim salvage.
The injured In the Jersey City hospitals
were reported to be doing well, but sev
eral are not yet out of danger. At po
lice headquarters in Hoboken inquiries
had been made for 62 persons missing.
At St. Mary's Hospital, Hoboken, this
afternoon, it was stated that all of the 4S
patients in that institution were doing
exceedingly well, with one exception. Wll
helm Rust, 24 years old, a sailor on the
Saale, was terribly burned all over the
body and no .hope is entertained for his
recovery.
The North German Lloyd Steamship
Company notified Coroner Hoffman, of
Hoboken, to see that all of the unidenti
fied and unclaimed dead have respectable
burial at the expense of the company.
Accordingly Coroner Hoffman is making
arrangements to have all the bodies In
the New York morgue taken to Hoboken.
He has not yetarranged the details for
theburial of the remains.
The partially submerged hulks of th
huge steamers lie smoking in the upper
bay and North River, apparently as thor
oughly wrecked as the Spanish cruisers
that ventured out of Santiago Harbor two
years ago tomorrow. Like the Spanish
ships, these German merchantmen hold
many dead men within their Iron sides. A
police patrol forbids near approach to the
sunken steamers, and warns off the cu
rious who hover about iiw rowboats.
Eleven charred bodies now m the New
York morgue were taken from the deck
of the Saale, and divers are expected to
bring up scores of dead men today.
The remains of the huge North German
Lloyd piers in Hoboken are still burning,
and firemen are throwing water upon
the embers, but nothing remains to be
saved. Charred logs, sections of plank
ing from half-burned scows and lighters,
and other wreckage, ar drifting about
the upper and lower bays, .compelling
steimers to pick their way with caution
to save their screws and paddles.
Most of the estimates of los3 do not
fall below $10,000,000. It is assumed that
three steamers are almost a, total loss,
and that the company must pay a round
sum for salvage of the Kaiser Wllhelm
der Grosse. Insurance men are rejoicing
over the fact that the risks on the
steamers were placed abroad. The licht-
ers and other small craft that were lost
were Insured by their owners, many of
whom also have policies covering the car
goes,, the insurance being- for account of
all parties at Interest.
The outward-bound merchandise still
on4ho piers at the time of the fire was
largely covered by floating policies In
fire companies. The goods on the pier
which had arrived from the other side
were in large part protected by marine
policies. The cargoes of' the burned North
German steamers were covered by marine
Insurance. The warehouse known as
Campbell's stores owned by the
Hoboken Land & Improvement Company,
are fully Insured In various fire insurance
companies. The merchandise In storage
Is of very diversified ownership, and noth
ing could be ascertained as to which
companies insured it.
The entire loss on property covered by
fire insurance is about $1,750,000, and $500
will equal the loss on water-borne ajid
other merchandise protected by marine
Insurance. The North German Lloyd
Steamship Company's piers and wharves
were insured in flre insurance companies
for $300,000, and it also had $400,000 In com
mon carriers' liability for merchandise
on piers.
It is expected that the owners and
crews of the tugs that pulled the Kaiser
Wllhelm away from the blazing piers will
today file libelg for more than $1,000,000
against her. Salvage will be claimed too,
upon all the other steamers that were on
flre, but what the amount will be In the
case of the Bremen, the Main and the
Saale Is entirely problematical, since It
depends upon the success that attends
the efforts of the workers.

come'others of greed and disregard of
human life. Joseph Lupth, a painter,
employed in decorating the first cabin of
the Saale, was alarmed by the cry of fire
and rushed from the cabin of the deck
just in time to see a great sheet of flame
sweep over the forward part of the ves
sel and envelop Captain Merow. who was
standing between the bridge and the fore
hatch, giving orders to a panic-stricken
group of laborers to batten the hatches
down. The fire wrapped around him, and
in an Instant he was crumpled into a
shapeless mass, falling where he stood.
"At that," says Lupth, "half a dozen
tugs, blowing their whistles, steamed up
toward the Kaiser Wllhelm, which waa
lying on ths opposite side of the dock.
Sixty men followed me in a leap to a
lighter, and we- began shouting for help
to the tugs that were coming up to help
the Kaiser Wllhelm. Those tugboat men
were too greedy for money to help us.
One of them came up close and threw
out a new Manila line. It fell short and
was hauled aboard again. 'Cast that lino
over,' I yelled. The flre from the Main
was then pouring over our heads, and
the heat was something fearful. 'Give
us a hand here,' another- man shouted
after me. 'For God's Bake don't let us
die like a lot of rats.'
"The captain of the tug paid no atten
tion to us whatever, and made no an
swer. Instead of trying to reach U3 with
a line a second time he backed water and
got under the prow of the big ship. We
could see him throwing a small hand line
to those on board. We could not under-

thought that our cries had not T been
heard. Another tug came within hailing
distance, and we spoke her, but the only
answer we got was no time now, will see
you later.' There were not less than
a dozen tugs close by us then, but no
one would do anything for us. The haw
sers which held the lighter to the Saale
burned through, and parted, and wo
drifted out Into the stream and floated
down along the shore. A tug coming up
the river saw us and gave us a tow to a
point below Hoboken, where all hands
got ashore."
John Voss was on the pier when tho
cotton burst Into a blaze. He was well
out at the end of the wharf and saw tho
fleet of tugs coming toward the Kaiser
Wllhelm.
"I saw three men swimming and try
ing to get away from the burning pier,"
said Voss. "The hair .of one of them
was on flre. He ''ducked his head to put
It out. When he came up he shouted,
'Help, help, in German. A' man on a
small tug leaned outside and yelled out:
"Have you any gelt? We are not hero
for our health.' The man In the water
must have been hurt In some way, be-
cause he could not make any reply. He
threw up his hands and sank.
"I could not tell what became of tho
others. One of them cried out. 'For God's

but nobody would do anything for him.
"One of a crew of a tug offered me a
rope if I would give him $3, but how could
I? After a while a small yawl boat came
by and I was pretty near gone, but I
hailed her and the man pulled me In
and took me ashore."

bered aboard and looted the staterooms.
Sixty-seven bodies have been recovered.
Each hour that passes witnesses ad
ditional recoveries of bodies, scarred,
maimed and burned beyond all semblance
of humanity. And half has not yet been
told, as all the bodies brought to the sur
face today were caught on grappling
hooks. About the first of next week
people will realize the appalling loss of
life, as It will then be time for the bodies
that are now lying at the bottom of the
river to come to the surface of their
own accord. The list of missing is still
placed at but few below COO. When the
bodies begin floating to the surface, the
gruesomeness of the situation will be
realized. Tho bodies recovered up to 11
o'clock tonight include 41 now in Connell's
undertaking-rooms in Hoboken, 10 in
Hoffman's, in the same city, 12 in the
morgue in New York and four deckhands
of the Saale, which were reported too late
tonight to be brought to either city. Of
these, 37 have been either positively or
partly Identified, most of them being vic
tims from the steamship Saale. Twenty
one of these identifications were made by
Second Officer Sanders, of ths Saale, who
was helped In the task by firemen, coal
passers, machinists and other employes
of the vessel.
Among those who will undoubtedly
swell the list are 210-odd men from tho
steamships. Including officers, subonlcers
and seamen, oilers, machinists, coalpass
ers and trimmers. The greater loss, of

their deaths. Of these, the great part
are foreigners, and the list of their names
is being checked oft by the steamship
company's officers, as soon as any Identi
fication can be made. Then, too, there
are some 35 people who were on canal
boats, lighters and about the decks In
various capacities.
Superintendent Moeler, of the North
German Lloyd line, late tonight returned
from his trip to the various vessels that
lay In the river. Concerning the gen
eral situation at this hour, he said:
"The steamship Bremen can be repali-ed
without great outlay.. She burned until
6 o'clock tonight, when the last flames
were stifled. The steamship Main is
still on flre. I believe the ship will be
a total loss. The Salle lies deep in the
water. The wreoking-boats started at
work on her right away, and s'he wljlt
probably be floated In several days. Her
port holes were shut, and the water was
pumped out of her as fast as- possible.
She has raised about 12 feet, but she is
i so far under there can be no estimate
as to how badly she Is damaged. AU
above Is practically wrecked."
Yesterday's great scenes of the flre were
more on the big steamers that lay burn
ing on tho river than at the docks which
were Just a pile of smoking ruins, but
I today, when bodies began to be found in
I pairs. In groups of half a dozen, and then
by the dozen, the scene that presented
. the most gruesome sight was at Hoboken
I pier. Hundreds of thousands of people
banked up In tho streets all day long and
watched the little groups of men that
I brought in tho bodies from the end of
I the pier. Thousands of small children
were allowed in the crowds to view the
horrible spectacle, and women with babies
in their arms craned their necks to get
a glimpse of the sights from which many
turned their faces. Through the streets
all day long the dead wagons rattled.

WALL PAPER TRUST. :
Too Much Competition Forces It t
Dissolve.
NEW YORK, July 2. The following
statement was Issued tonight by Presi
dent Henry, of the National Wall Paper I
company.
"Although the company has now been
in existence eight years and has done a
large business. Its profits have not been
commensurate with the expectations of
stocKnoiders, due to the fact that Its ex
istence has to such an extent stimulated
competition that the number of plants en
gaged in manufacturing wall paper has
In that period doubled. It has also been
demonstrated that the manufacture of
wall paper involves elements of so- pe
culiar a nature that it cannot be as suc
cessfully conducted through the medium
of a combination as through independent
and Isolated plants. Individual taste and
tho personality of the manufacturer play
an important part, which, in a combina
tion 'consisting of a number of plants, are
apt to be overlooked. For these and other
reasons the entire board of directors, who
themselves constitute a majority of the
stockholders and who are actlntr from the
sincere conviction that they are thereby
promoting the Interests of all concerned.
favor the dissolution of the corporation.
The Indebtedness of the company is nom
inal, and will be paid in full before any
action looking toward dissolution is taken.
A plan Is being matured which will, In
all probability, result in the acquisition of
the various plants by those who wero
Identified with them prior to their sale
to the National Wall Paper Company.
The directors will hold a meeting July 17.
COWBOYS AND CHINESE.
Boxer Trouble Led to a Fight 1
Tcsas.
CHICAGO. July 2. A special to th$j
unronlcle from San Antonio, Tex., says:
According to meager advices here a fight
occurred Sunday between eight cowboys
and ranchmen and Chinamen belonging
to the Pel Chung colony, located In Duval
County. Four Chinamen are known to
have been wounded, one fatally. Fred
Howard, a cowboy on the Davidson
ranch, was wounded In the chest. The
timely arrival of a detachment of State
Bangers saved further bloodshed.
The trouble, which is said to be due to
the Boxer riots In China, started when
the cowboys rode into the Pel Chung
vineyard and began to tantalize the Chl-
inese, wno retired to their quarters and
opened on tne cownoys with shotguns and
pistols, from their doors and windows.
The cowboys retreated, keeping up a flre.
Two of the Chinamen who were shot I
were noncombatants, and were wounded!
while making a rush to get to shelter.
The Pel Chung colony operates one off
the largest vineyards in Texas, and
being given ample protection by the stats!
and county officials.
