WILL RAISE HULK
New York Will Recover
Bodies on Slocum.
WRECKERS TO WORK TODAY
Number of Victims in Steamer
Disaster Now 581.
ONE HUNDRED FUNERALS
Women Kneel and Men Bare Their
Heads, and Shed Tears as the
Hearses Carrying Un-
' known Dead 'Pass.
NEW" YORK. June 18. Unceasing
search or over three flays and nights
nas resulted tonight In the discovery of
B81 bodies of the victims of the awful
disaster that befell the excursion steamer
General Slocum. "Wednesday. Although
this appalling number does not represent
the full extent of the calamity, hopes are
expressed that comparatively few bodies
remain to be recovered.
Mayor McClellan today authorized Po
lice Commissioner McAdoo to contract
with a wrecking company to raise the
hull of the steamer. A powerful tug
was dispatched to North Brother Island
tonight with orders to raise the wreck
as soon as possible And tow It to shal
low water off Rlker's Island, where It
will be searched for any bodies that may
yet remain in It.
There Is a possibility that when the
charred hulk is brought to the surface a
considerable number of corpses may be
within the tangled mass of wreckage
which has defied all the diver's attempts
at complete exploration. Doubtless, too,
many bodies have been swept away by
the whirling currents of Hell Gate, and
carried out in the broad waters -of Long
Island Sound, or out past Sandy Hook
to the open sea.
The number still recorded tonights as
missing Is 325. but of these many have
been accounted for whose names have
not been taken from the list, and others
are among the dead whose Identification
Is Impossible.
The region In the vicinity of St. Mark's
German Lutheran Church In East Sixth
street was today the scene of 114 funer
als, representing the burial of nearly 200
bodies, almost all of whom were chil
dren. Enormous crowds thronged the
streets of the quarter, and a large force
of police was necessary to prevent dis
order and keep clear a passage for' the
long lines of hearses and carriages. Fun
eral services were held in no less, than
37 churches of various denominations In
this section.
Kneel as'the Hearses Pass.
As the. hearses carrying the unknown
nnd unclaimed dead, numbering 29,
passed, an unusually large crowd stood
respectfully on the sidewalks, making a
line extending several blocks to the pier
whence the ferry carried them over to
the Long Island shore.
The men stood with bowed and un
covered heads, and by far the greater
portion of the women and children gath
ered along the street knelt. Even those
who are ordinarily phlegmatic and un
demonstrative were affected by the sor
row that all seemed to feel, and sobs
shook the frames of the women, while
tears streamed down the cheeks of the
xaen.
The cortege continued through the
streets lined with mourning thousands
until it became a vast and long pro
cession of funerals that were wending
their way to the cemetery.
Sixteen more bodies recovered during
the day were brought from the scene of
tho wreck to the temporary morgue at
the foot of East Twenty-seventh-street
pier. So great was the clamor for ad
mission to the pier that all control of
the crowd was lost, and on the entrance
to the pier being thrown open a rush
took place during which many persons
wero knocked down and trampled on.
Will Extend Relief Work.
vThe executive committee of the Mayor's
if .Hot committee met this afternoon and
made arrangements for tho extension of
the relief work to all needy sufferers by
the disaster.
The Investigation of the Coroner will
begin Monday morning and about 209
witnesses "will bo examined In the effort
to fix the responsibility for the disaster.
Coroner Berry states that more than 200
witnesses have been summoned to ap
pear at the Inquest next Monday.
Among tho stories which have come to
tho Investigating officers was one from
Charles A. Long, who was a passenger
on the Slocum, to the effect that the fire
was first discovered when the steamer
was off Fifty-sixth street, near the
lownr end of Blackwell's Island. This
point is more than three miles below One
Hundred and Thirty-eighth street, where
first reports said the fire was discovered.
Yesterday, a deckhand told the Coroner
that tho fire really started off Eighty
sixth street, but the point named by
Long Is a mile and a half below that
placo and nearly six miles from the point
on North Brother Island, where the
Slocum was beached.
CAPTAIN REPLIES TO CRITICS.
He Says a Landing Was Made at the
First Point Possible.
NEW TORK. June IS. Captain Yan
Schulck. who Is lying at Lebanon Hos
pital with a broken foot and severe burns
about the head, has given out an inter
view replying to the criticisms of his
conduct, it having been alleged that ha
ran the boat two miles past at least
eight places whe'ro it could have been
beached, after the fire was discovered.
He Is quoted as follows:
"I was In my cabin when some one
yelled 'Fire!' through the tube. I ran
out. saw the flames sweeping over the
boat and ran back, waited five seconds,
and then gave the order to run ahead to
North Brother Island, and bench the
boat sideways, "believing this was our
only chance.
"The critics don't .know the territory.
"We were more than 2000 feet above the
buoys on the Sunken Meadows and about
3000 feet from North Brother Island, and
were going at 13 miles an hour. A ehort
distance ahead and to the westward was
a large tug. I had no choice but to keep
on for the Island. If I nad stopped and
turned around and gone back to the
Sunken Meadows the chances were that
the bew would have befen burned to? ihe
water's edge and the passenger with it
before we reach ;d the Meadows., Even
If it would not have been burned, the
boat striking tb; meadows would have
backod off again and everybody on board
when they jumrtexlofr would have been
drowned in deep watert And If I had run
to the neck on the Bronx shore, could
not have made fast on account of the
panic on board. I "know the water was
very deep there, and thought the people
would have no chance to save their lives
by jumping overboard. The tug, at any
rate, would have prevented me from go
ing In that direction without some de
lay." Previous statements have been to the
effect that the fire was discovered before
the boat passed the Sunken Meadows.
WRITES THE PRESIDENT.
Alderman Says Impression Prevails
Inspectors Were Negligent.
NEW YORK. June IS. General Dan
iel E. Sickles, a member of the Board
of Aldermen, late this afternoon, sent
the following communication to Presi
dent Roosevelt:
"I have just returned from a meeting
of the Board of Aldermen, it being in
reference to the awful calamity which
came to us last Wednesday, the loss of
the steamboat General -Slocum, in
which nearly a thousand of our people
perished.
"This misfortune has touched every
heart in the municipality, and has
brought sympathy to. us from every
part of the world. Of course you have
already taken such steps in the right
direction as becomes your office, but I
trust you will not regard it amiss to
receive a suggestion or two from one
of the 'city fathers.'
"There Is an Impression here that

"Wasco. "With the members of the
Grand Army, he Is very popular, his
vote for Commander being far ahead
of the two other candidates.
the Federal officials charged with the
duty of inspecting steamboats have
been negligent and inefficient, and that
they are gravely at fault in not having
done what they might have 4pne to
avoid what has happened.
"Pray see that, tliese steamboat in
spectors shall be competent and trust
worthy, and If further legislation be
necessary to provide safeguards for the
future, ask Congress to provide them.
"You will agree with me, I am sure,
that a prompt and thorough Investiga

portance, as well as to fix responsibility
for the past, and to provide a guarantee
for the future. Sincerely yours,
"DANIEL E. SICKLES."
Fortune Found on Body Unclaimed.
NEW TORK, June 18. Of the money
and other valuables taken from the dead
In tho Slocum disaster, aggregating near
ly $200,000, much has been claimed from
the Coroner by relatives. There Is one
package, .however, for which no claim
has yet been established. It was found
on the body of a woman at. first supposed
to be that of Eva Kruger, but has not
yet been Identified.
The properly consists of eight bank
books, showing deposits uf nearly 523,000
in eight of the best-known savings lnstl:
tutlons of New York; two or three life
Insurance policies amounting In all to
about $10,000 or $15,000, deeds to property In
New York and elsewhere and a consider
able amount In bank notes.
The deeds, Jnsarance policies and the
bank books are "all in the name of a per
son who. It would seem, is quite different
from Eva Kruger, but the Coroner is
keeping the name secret for the present.
and is considerably puzzled because the
woman has not been identified by rela
tives.

ed with people, and great xcltement
was caused. Mulhall was locked up

CONSISTORY IS POSTPONED.
Pope Desires Incident With France
First Cleared Up.
ROME. June 13. The consistory, which
It was announced would be held July 27
seems now to have been postponed, in or
der to avoid what would have been al
most a necessity, namely, that the pope
should deliver an allocution on the
Franco-Vatican relations, while negoti
ations are being carried on totelear up
the Incident of President Loubefs visit
to Rome. Besides, Important changes In
the French government are expected
which by themselves may solve the whole
affair. No date Is given for the holding
of the consistory.
Papacy Will Again Try to Enter.
ROME, June lS.-In 1S93 the papacy was
excluded from The Hague Conference on
?r rof the Itaan government,
which had Great Britain as Its strongest
supporter, this support being given in ex
change for that which Italy gave to the
British government to secure the ex
clusion from the conference of the South
African Republics. Now, several South
American states having asked to sign
The Hague agreement, it is reported that
Cardinal Merry del Val. papal secretary
of state. Intends to try to enter the agree
ment also. It Is believed, however, that
this will be most difficult for him to ac
complish, as, besides the former opposi
tion. France now certainly will not sup
port the papacy as It did In 1S99.

IRRIGATION IN WASHINGTON.
Plans of the Reclamation Service for
the Present Season.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, June 14. Chief Engineer Newell,
of the Reclamation Service, is In receipt
of a report from T. A. Noble, engineer In
charge of Irrigation investigations In the
State of "Washington, briefly reviewing
what has been accomplished In that state
heretofore, and indicating. In a general
way the work that is outlined for the
present season- Being the first official
statement touching these matters, Mr.
Noble's report Js of double interest.
Among other things he says that syste
matic stream measurements have been
made for -several years on the Yakima
River and Its tributaries, on the Spokane
River and Palouse River, and considera
ble reconnaissance work locating reservoir
sites, and preliminary investigations .for
various projects. On the passage of the,
reclamation law this work was extended
to cover the whole of the arid portion of
the state. A number of projects were In
vestigated In a preliminary way, and
those found to be the most feasible were
the Big Bend, the Okanogan and the
Palouse River projects.
It has been determined to concentrate
most ot the field forces on Investigating
tnat portion of the Big Bend area vwhlch
can be irrigated from Palouse River,
which has been designated as the Palouse
River project During, the past Winter
preliminary investigations ami recon
naissances wer conducted to determine
the feasibility of lrrltratlnir about . 100.003
acres from Palouse River. Based upon
mis preliminary report It was decided
tnat the proposed plan was sufficiently
feasible to warrant a thorough investiga
tion and survey.
The Irrigable lands Included within the
Okanogan project are on the west side of
Okanogan River. In the northern part oi
the State of Washington, between the
Canadian boundary and the Columbia Rlv
er. The- Summer flow Is not sufficient for
the reclamation of any considerable area.
and storage must be provided. The lands
which would' be benefited by this project
lie at an altitude of about 1200 feet. Irri
gation Is practiced In a small way and
the land is found to be of excellent quality
ior rruit and ordinary farm products.
Water Is obtained from' Salmon Creek, a
tributary of Okanogan River. There are
a number of depressions or coulees con
talning small lakes which It is expected
will be utilized for storage purposes.
Upon request of the citizens of Okano
gan County a reconnaissance was made
by Mr. Noble during April,. 1903, and. field
worK oegun and, continued up to Novem
ber of that year. During, the past Wirt
ter maps were made complete and the
Irrigable lands classified" and withdrawn
from entry by order of the Secretary of
the Interior, pending survey. As soon
as the field work on this -project Is com
pleted In July, all data and Information
a io us leasiDiiuy win De reported.
Investigations have also been made to
determine the feasibility of Irrigating
lands along the Columbia River from
Priest. Rapids, and lands In the Yakima
Valley.
An examination of the Irrigable lands
between the Snake and Columbia Rivers
in the vicinity of Pasco shows that It Is
possible to divert water from Palouse
River, conduct it by a. canal or flume
over a low divide into Washtucna Coulee,
and then along the coulee to a natural
reservoir site lying between Washtucna
Lake and the town of Connell, on the
Northern Pacific Railroad.
The benefit to the State of Washington
and to the country in general of having
tracts ot leruie iana irrigated, subdivided
and cultivated in tracts of 40 or SO acres
each. Is Inestimable, and the develomnent
of any of these projects would bring a
cense population -ana notably increase the
valuo of farm products for the state.
POLICEMEN ON THE CAEPET.
Believed to Be Result of Report Car
ried to Chief by Brother Officer.
Because Police Officers Lee, Courtney
and Jones were in saloons while on duty,
and because Patrol-Wagon Driver Price
is alleged to have slapped a prisoner, they
will be called upon the carpet tomorrow
afternoon, to stand Investigation of the
charges preferred against them. The In
vestigation was scheduled for 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, but as Mr. Beebe,
one of the members of the Police Com
mission, did not put In an appearance, the
officers were dismissed without having the
charges investigated.
It Is said among the officers that Patrol
Driver Price has urged an investigation
of the charges, which were made public
some time ago, and -never Investigated.
The charges were made public and the
officer was never given a chance to exon
erate himself.
There is little doubt, that the other offi
cers, were seen In saloons,- but it is be
lieved that .they will be able to explain
away anything the Police Commission
may ask about, as It Is quite often neces
sary for officers to enter saloons to dis
charge their duties. The men are said to
have been seen In the saloons by Ser
geant Slover, who It is said is detailed by
Chief Hunt as a "spotter," since Prose
cuting Attorney Fitzgerald ignored re-,
ports of the officer who was especially
detailed to arrest the-women of the North
End and other districts caught violating
certain city ordinances, saying, he believed
the. officer encouraged the women to vio
late the ordinance.

more cases of dyspepsia than Peruna. The
reason for this Is that dyspepsia In a
great majority of cases depends upon
catarrh of the stomach.
Catarrh of the stomach may have been
set up by an extension of the catarrh

WOTTED DE&nHISH EXPENDITURE
City's Outlay Too Lavish In View of
Possible Stringency.
PORTLAND, Or., June 13. (To the Edi
tor.) In yesterday's paper much was said
about a grand system of parks, requiring
the purchase of new ones to make the
system complete. It is not difficult to
conceive a grand system of parks and
boulevards encircling the entire city, with
charming spots at Sellwood, Mount Tabor,
on the banks of the Columbia, down on
the peninsula and back to City Park, all
connected with magnificent boulevards a
hundred feet wide, finished smooth as a
floor. All this is easy on paper, but
doesn't It occur to you that It is about
time to call a halt in public expenditures?
For the last two years we have been
going on as If there never could come
commercial depression again, exactly as
we did eight or ten years ago, when the
city, the churches, commercial organiza
tions and individuals went In debt to
an extent that suggested a belief that
EOld WOUld be found nt th onrt nt a mln.
bow and that the end could easily be
reacnea.
"We have been building a great mileage
of streets, sidewalks and other Improve
ments, desirable of course, but we are In
debt for nearly all of It. "We owe for
the drydock, for the large bridges and
ferryboats and all other nnHii
We talk about going on as If payday
woum never come, while the Interest bill
grows larger and larger each year. In the
meantime there are clouds In the com
mercial sky.
Individuals have been building mostly
with their credit, until there is danger of
overdoing the matter, if it is not already
overdone. At any rate, the real estate
market, which Is a good barometer. Is
exceedingly low.
Now In view of all this r am opposed to
buying any more land for parks at this
time. Something has been said about the
waste of giving up the fair ground. True,
hut waste is an incident of fairs. Much
of the work done there, especially on the
buildings, will be lost, because It Is for a
fair, and the fair" Is a short-liT-p fhino-
The Improvements are not suitable for a
parx, so tnat tne loss, eo far as a park
Is concerned, Is small. If the passion for
buying Is overwhelming, I would suggest
that the city purchase some good docks
or something else that will produce an
Income. "We will need It presently.

San Francisco Argonaut-For-many
years Oregon was a most
uncertain state, politically, being, In turn.
Republican, then Democratic, and even.
In 1S92, bestowing an electoral vote upon
a Populist. In 1896 It repented, became
loyally Republican and remained so un

day the Republican victory was complete.
xne two iiejuoilcan candidates for Con

Supreme Judge. 'Hermann's majority was
some 7000, Williamson's 10,000 and Moore's
very large.
This election, the only early one held.
has been watched with interest all over
the country. Formerly. Pennsylvania,

of Catarrh by
na.
few days began to feel stronger, and from
the first dose I slept at night without
awakening. I took only two bottles; now
I am well, but I am never without Pe
runa In the house." Mrs. Jessie Colton.
Peruna cures all such cases of dys
pepsia, simply because It cures catarrh
wherever located. The reason so many
cases of dyspepsia suffer on and on with
out any relief, trying this medicine and
that medicine, is that these conditions
are not recognized as catarrh of the
stomach.
Any one suffering from dyspepsia, hav
ing tried the ordinary remedies without
relief, would be safe to assume that then
case is one of catarrh of the stomach,
and should at once begin a course of
Peruna. Peruna Is sure to cure these
cases. It never falls.
"We have on file many thousand testi
monials like the ones given above. We
can only give our readers a slight
glimpse of the Vast array of unsolicited
Indorsements we are receiving, every
month. No other physician in the world
has received such a volume of enthu
siastic and grateful letters of thanks aa
Dr. Hartman for Peruna.
