Russian People Confident.
St. PETERSBURG, June 13.--Michael
Davitt, who is now in St. Petersburg in-
vestigating the labor and industrial condi-
tions of Russia, said to-day :
‘‘Agide from the immediate object of my
visit I have been greatly interested in the
attitude of the masses in Russia toward the
war. Their attitude is of greater import
in view of the stories published abroad to
the effect that the war is unpopular and
that the country is on the verge of a revo-
lution owing to public discontent.
‘I have visited every working quarter of
St. Petersburg, the extensive Selasmolen-
koe region, the Narvaskaia district, and
such places as the Potilloff Company’s loco-
motive and steel works, employing 10,000
men. I interviewed the workers outside of
the factories, churches and places of public
entertainment, but failed to find anything
except quiet confidence that Russia is
bound to win in the end.
‘“The war seems to arouse less public in-
terest than the news received during the
South African war. One reason may be
the distance of the actual fighting from
European Russia. Certainly the war is not
affecting the general current of life. Basi-
ness everywhere is progressing as usual and
the people are following their ordinary rou-
tine. The only sentiment is full faith that
Russia ultimately will win.”’
Last Link in Wabash Road.
Pittsburg Terminal Now Connected With the Main
System. Opening for Traffic to Take Place Next
Sunday. —
PITTSBURG, June 13.—The last link
connecting the Pittsburg Terminal of the
Wabash with the entire Wabash system
was completed this morning at 10 o’clock,
when the local end of the road was con-
nected with the Wheeling & Lake Erie
Railroad at Mingo Junction.
President Joseph Ramsey, Jr., of the
Wabash Railroad, is expected to come to
Pittsburg this week over the line. His
will be the first through train to be run
over the tracks. The road will be opened
on June 19. There is nothing now in the
way to prevent this.
At the new Wabash terminal in Pitts-
burg, track laying was started to-day and
all the tracks into the terminal will be
completed in a few days. While the sta-
tion itself will not be finished for several
months, this will not interfere with the
operation of passenger trains.
Two Battalions Were Annihilated,
HAI CHENG, Manchuria, June 11.—(De-
layed in Transmission. )—A flanking move-
ment of the Japanese around the Russian
left from Feng Waug Cheng, June 9th, was
repulsed with a (loss of two whole batta-
lions. A large Japanese force moved out
in the morning along the Feng Wang
Cheng and Hai Cheng road. The Russians
had a force strongly posted in a ravine
thirty miles southeast of Hai Cheng. The
Japanese were preceded by two battalions,
who walked into the Russian ambuscade.
They received a murderous rifle and artil-
lery fire at close range and were wiped out
only one or two escaping.
The main Japanese force, which was
greatly superior to the Russian force, tried
to out-flank the Russians, who drew off
without losing a man. The Japanese, clos-
ing in, found the ravine vacant, save for
their own dead.

" Plcked to Succeed Cortelyou.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 13.—It is
generally understood that Representative
Victor H. Metcalf, of California, will suec-
ceed Mr. Cortelyou as Secretary of the De-
partments of Commerce and Labor when he
resigns to become chairman of the Republi-
can national committee, which will be
about July 1st. High administration of-
ficials to-night virtually admit that the
position has been tendered Mr. Metealf,
but that his acceptance or declination has
not yet been signified.

“Whole Families Wiped Out.
NEW YORK, June 15.—One of the most
appalling disasters in the history of New
York, tragic in its immensity, dramatic in
its episodes and deeply pathetic in the ten-
der age of most of its victims took place to-
day in the East river, at the entrance to
Long Island Sound, within a short distance
of the New York shore and within sight of
thousands of persons, the majority of whom
were powerless to minimize the extent of
the catastrophe. :
By the burning to the water’s edge of the
General Slocum, a three decked excursion
steamer the largest in these waters, more
than six hundred persons, the majority of
whom were women and children were
burned to death or drowned by jumping
overboard or by being thrown into the
whirlpools by the lurching of the vessel
and the frantic rush of the panic stricken
passengers.
Approximately 500 bodies have been re-
covered and are now heing tagged at the
morgues of Bellevue hospital and Harlem.
Divers were still busy at a late hour taking
bodies from the hold of the vessel, which
they say is choked with the remains of
human beings, while the bodies of scores
who leaped or were thrown into the river
have not been recovered.
It is the season of Sunday school excur-
sions in New York City and the Long
Island Sound, the latter one of the most
picturesque bodies of water in the country.
Great preparations had been made for the
seventeenth annual excursion of the Sun-
day school of St. Mark’s German Lutheran
church, and the General Slocum had been
chartered to carry the excursionists to Lo-
oust Grove, one of the many resorts on
the Sound.
OVER 2,000 ON BOARD.
It is variously estimated that there were
between 1,500 and 2,500 persons on beard
the General Slocam when she left the pier
at Third street, East river, though the
Knickerbocker Steam Ship Company,
which owns the Slocum, officially states
that the number of passengers was 873, that
being only one third of the vessel’s capaci-
ty. There were several hundred children
in arms, for whom fares are not usually
charged on these trips, on hoard.
The scene on the decks of the steamer as
she proceeded up the East river was one of
merry making, customary on such occa-
sions.
At the extreme eastern end of Randall’s
Island, off One Hundred and Thirty-fifth
street, there is a stretch of water known as
the Sunken Meadows. At this point just
as crowds were watching the gaily decorat-
ed steamer from the shore, the General Slo-
cum took fire, and as the age of the vessel
—she was built in 1901—had resulted in
the well-seasoning of the wood with which
she was almost entirely built, she was seon
a mass of flames.
The fire is said to have broken out in a
lanch room on the forward deck through
the overturning of a pot of grease. The
Crowded New York Excursion Steamer Catches Fire.
fire were fatile.. At One Hundred and
Thirty-fourth street there are several lum-
ber yards and oil tanks, and as Captain
Wm. Van Schaik in command of the Gen-
eral Slocnm, started to turn his vessel to-
wards the shore there he was warned that
it would set fire 0 the lamber and oil, and
80 he changed his course for North Brother
Island, one of twin Islands near the en-
trance to the sound. She sank near this
place at 12:25 o’clock this afternoon.
JUMPED INTO WHIRLPOOL.
The. scene was one of frightful panic,
with men, women and children jumping
overboard and being lashed by the channel
whirlpools against the vessel’s sides.
Women and children were crowded togeth-
er on the hurricane deck, which soon burn-
ed away and fell, apd it is believed that
most of those on this deck were burned.
The after rail gave way and the passen-
gers who had crowded against it were push-
ed into the river. Mothers and children
became separated aud frantically sought
each other, while in several cases fathers
and mothers gathered their children to-
gether, jumped with them in the water.
Little children holding each other by the
hand jumped together and were afterwards
found clasped in each other’s arms.
BRAVE EFFORTS TO HELP.
During the flame-enveloped run to North
Brother Island, the General Slocum’s
whistles kept blowing for assistance, but
before the whistles began to blow, several
tugs, the captains of which had seen the
outbreak of the fire, started after the ves-
sel, joined by a yacht and rowboats. The
number of these craft constantly grew, and
not the least dramatic incidents of the ca-
tastrophe were the efforts of the people on
these boats to rescue those who had jump-
ed overboard. Men crowded to the rails of
the tugs and caught up the drowning per-
sons as they were borne by the current.
North Brother Island where the vessel was
beached contains a scarlet fever ward. The
patients who witnessed the disaster were
ordered indoors and the doctors hastened to
the rescue of those who had been washed
ashore, but some scores of persons died
while they were being attended to.
SIX HUNDRED LOST.
The disaster resulted in the death,
through burning or drowning, of at least
six hundred persons, mostly women and
children. Four hundred and forty-seven
bodies had been recovered to-night and
divers were at work taking bodies from the
hold of the steamer. The remains of many
persons who leaped into the river have not
yet been found, and it will be many hours
before the list of dead is anywhere near
complete.
_ The great open decks, built for exour-
sionists, with little obstruction from bow
to stern, offered a clear sweep for the fire.
As the Slocum dashed forward the flames
caught stanchion and cabin woodwork, eas-
ing and tearing their way across the ves-
sel. The excursionists, but a few moments
before in the full enjoyment of an ideal
summer day on Long Island Sound, were
driven to the afterpart of the steamer to
escape the heat, flames and smoke that
were. constantly increasing. - Policemen
and deck hands aboard the boat, struggled
hard to quiet the panic, but their efforts
were in vain.
* The wild disorder increased, as frantic
mothers sought to find their children, who
bad been at play abont the decks. The
steamer’s whistle was blowing for assist-
ance and tugs and other nearby craft
| answered to the call.
WHOLE FAMILIES JUMPED
: Before any of the boats could reach the
burning steamer, however, the frantic wo-
men and children began to jump overboard.
The current was strong and there are many
whirlpools in the channel. The boats that
always abound in the vicinity picked many
persons from the water,but these were only
a small number of those that were seen
strug gling in the swift current.
On the Slocum the first sweep of the
flames out off escape from the hurricane
deck where a great many of the women
wind wae high and all efforts to subdue the
and children were crowded together and
soon burned away the light wooden up-
righte which came down with a crash on
those below. Itis thought most of those
on the barricane deck were burned. As the
fire increased the rush to gain a point
of vantage at the stern became frightful.
Women and children crowded against the
after rail until it gave way and hundreds
were off into the river. After this there
was a sudden stream of persons who jump-
ed or were thrown into the river.
240 Delegates Now Pledged to Judge
Parker.
spe
Hearst Ranks Second With 146 Votes Instructed
for Him. :
NEw YORK, Jone 12.—Seventy per cent.
of the delegates to the Democratic national
convention have been elected. Nearly 33
per cent. of them are under instructions to
vote for the nomination of Judge Parker,
of New York. The remainder of the del-
egates are scattered among five men—
Hearst, Gorman, Gray, Olney and Wall.
Parker has 240 with Hearst his nearest
competitor, 94 delegates behind. There
are 281 uninstructed delegates, of whom at
least one-third can be claimed for Parker
without challenge.
Conventions were held last week in Ken-
tucky, Virginia, Delaware,Colorado, Idaho,
Utah and Hawaii. Hawaii and Idaho in-
structed for Hearst. Colorado refused to
instruct for him. Utah divided on a two-
to-one basis between Parker and Hearst,
with Parker having the long end. Virginia
was friendly to Parker, but did not in-
struct. The Parke: forces were, however,
in control, and owing to ‘the adoption of
the unit tule, the twenty-six delegates will
vote for Parker on the opening ballot.
Delaware declared for Judge Gray.
Idaho started the Hearst ball again on
Monday by giving the six delegates to the
New York Congressman. Out in the Pacific,
Hawaii was at the same time doing its
share for the benefit of the Hearst candi-
dacy. The Honolulu politicians have gen-
erally shown a leaning toward Bryan.
Pueblo entertained the Colorado del-
egates op Tuesday. The Hearst men put
up the best fight they could, but a resolu-
tion instructing the delegates for him was
defeated by a vote of 379 to 108.
100,000 Japs In Vicinity of Port Arthur.
General Oku’s Army Receives Great Reinforcements
of Troops.
RussiAN HEADQUARTERS, Liao-Yang,
June 12.—Reports received here by the
general staff are to the effect that the Jap-
anese forces about Port Arthur have heavi-
ly reinforced by troops recently landed at
Dalny, and that General Oku now has at
least 100,000 men on the Kwangtung Pen-
insula, near Port Arthur.
It is believed here that active hostil-
ities are taking place between the Russian
and Japanese forces, and that the Japanese
will make a desperate attempt to carry the
fortress by assault as soon as they have
completely invested it on the land side.
General Okun is said to have sent a
strong force beyond Kinchau as far north
as Wafandian to protect him from attack
in the rear in case the Russians send a force
south from Tahichaio along the railroad.
There are persistent rumors again that
the Port Arthur squadron has succeeded
in making a sortie, but no official confir-
mation of the report is obtainable.
The Japanese are constructing a railway
from Feng Wang Cheng to Shakdedsi,
thirty milesto the southesst, near the
mouth of the Yalu river.
The movement of the Japanese along the
sea is being closely watched. They are
proceeding from Takushan to the south-
west, following the coast, evidently reck-
oning upon the co-operation of their fleet.
The Russian aeinforcements on their way
here will soon materially change the situa-
tion and enable General Kuropatkin to
move freely.
General Kuroki’s main army is still at
Feng Wang Chang. Russian outposts cov-
er his right flank above Samaitsa and ex-
tending eastward. They are in constant
touch with the enemy and there are al-
most daily skirmishes of more or less im-
portance. Developments are anticipated in
this direction.
Steamer Sank; Five
Drowned,
Canada from Quebec, Collided With Dominion Col-
lier Cape Breton.
Persons Are
MoNTREAL,Juue 12.—The Richelieu and
Ontario Navigation company’s steamer Can-
ada, bound from Quebec to Montreal, came
into collision with the Dominion Coal com-
pany’s collier, Cape Breton, six miles be-
low Sourel, early today. Twenty minutes
later the Canada went to the bottom. At
the time of the collision there were 110 peo-
ple on board the Canada. Five were lost,
the others were rescued.
The collision occurred just as dawn was
breaking. The Cape Breton lay at the en-
trance to the Lake Peter channel waiting
for daylight, so as to find her way through.
She was getting under way, when the Can-
ada, making for Sourel, at full speed, came
into view. Just what the collision was due
to and who is responsible for it has not yet
been determined, for the officers of the Can-
ada decline to talk,but from the statements
given out it would appear that the Cape
Breton bad not headway enough to answer
her rudder and that she swerved across the
path of the passenger boat, her bow striking
the Canada just forward of the paddle box
on the starboard side and tearing its way
half through.
Then the Cape Breton swung clear and
the two steamers came alongside one anoth-
er. i
The Canada at once began to settle and,
as the Cape Breton did not appear to be ser-
iously damaged, the passengers were hur-
riedly transferred to this steamer. In the
excitement some of the passengers jumped
overboard and were picked up by boats
from the Canada and the Cape Breton, but
a great majority of those on board did not
become excited, while the discipline shown
by the crew of the Canada was excellent.

Kansas Boom for Miles.
ToPEKA, Kan., June 11.—David Over-
myer, chairman of the Kansas delegation
to the national Democratic convention, will
endeavor to make a fight for the nomina-
tionof Gen. Nelson A. Miles for President.
Overmyer left for St. Louis to-night to
confer with leaders from western and south-
ern States, and next week he will accom-
pany a number of western leaders in the
east and endeavor to show them that Gen.
Miles is the best available man, because all
Democrats could unite on him without
recanting or embarrassment, as far as the
money question is concerned.
Mr. Overmyer said to-night that "he-had
assurance from Mr. Bryan that Gen. Miles
would be satisfactory to him. General
Miles met Overmyer and others at Kansas
paign were considered.

DR. G. F. Hoor.—One of the oldest and
very prominent residents of Philipsburg,
Dr. Gibbony F. Hoop, died suddenly at
his home in that place Monday morning;
death probably having been due to a stroke -
of paralysis. He had for several years
previous been in enfeebled health on
account of several slight strokes .of the.
same malady. pris
Dr. Hoop was born December 6th, 1827,
in Bedford county. In his boyhood he
also lived in Fulton and Blair counties.
He went to Philipsburg from the Bald
Eagle valley in 1847, and engaged in the
tailoring business. Daring his spare
Dr. William Hill. He later was gradu-
ated from the Jobne Hopkins University,
Baltimore, and began the practice of medi}
cine at Frenchville, afterwards graduating
from several other medical schools. Later
on he moved to Kylertown and engaged in
the mercantile and lumbering business.
Returning to Philipsburg during the civil
war, he enlisted in the 84th regiment asa
surgeon. At the close of the war he made
considerable money in some oil specula
tions, and then associated with Munson,
Jones & Co. in building a planing mill an:
carrying on a very extensive lom-
ber business. The firm afterwards . be-
came known as Hoop, Jones & Co. and
later on as Hoop, Humes & Co. After a
number of years he disposed of his interests
‘there and engaged in gold and silver min-
ing in Colorado, where he resided for some
‘time. These ventures were not so profi-
table, and be soon after returned to Phil-
ipsburg, since which time he has resided
there and lived very generally a retired
life.
He was twice mariied, first to Miss
Annie Test, whose death occurred Dec. 8,
1873, and to whom five children were born,
two of these dying in childhood, and only
one of whom, Mrs. Al. Lingenfelter, is
living, a son, Walter, having died several
years ago and the eldest daughter, Mrs.
W. H. McCausland, having died only last
fall. His second wife, to whom he was mai-
ried on April 24th, 1879, was Miss
Josephine Flegal, of Clearfield. She, with
one son, Rex, and one daughter, Miss
Lenore, survives. The Dr. was also a
prominent Mason.
The funeral took place from his late resi-
dence, corner of Second aud Laurel streets,
on Wednesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock.

MRs. CATHARINE HARTSOCK WiL-
LIAMS. — The esteemed subject of this
sketch was born Jan. 4th, 1850, and after
an illness of about 3 months passed to her
reward on Thursday afternoon, Juve 9sh,
1904, aged 54 years, 5 months, and 5 days.
She was married on Jan, 4th, 1871, to
Abednego Williams. To this union there
were born seven children, two of whom
have preceded her to the spirit realm. She
is survived by her husband; two daughters,
Susie, wife of doctor Irwin, of Fleming,and
Mattie J., at home; three sons, J. Roland,
Harry 8., and Roger G., all ast home. She
is also survived by four brothers and one
sister, W. Alfred, Madison, Fremont,
Henry, and Miss Alice. She loved her
home and did what she could to make ita
place of delight. Here she will be most
missed.
She was baptized into membership with
the Baptist church at Martha on January
28th, 1870, ‘and has continued in faithfal
relation thereto for over 34 years. She has
always been an efficient and active worker
in the church. For many years she has
been a teacher in the Sabbath school. Her
life has always been one of devotion to her
Master. She loved her Saviour and her
passing from earth was simply a going
home to the more blessed life beyond. The
entire community honored and respected
her, as was well attested by the large gath-
ering on the occassion of her funeral serv-
ice. This service was held at her late home
near Martha on June 12th, at 10 o'clock,
and conducted by her pastor, Rev. A. C.
Lathrop. The casket containing her re-
maine was borne by six of her nephews, the
sons of Mr. W. Alfred Hartsock, of Martha.
One of the features of the service was the
attendance of her Sunday school class and
their placing of flowers upon the casket
containing her body. Interment was made
in the Williams cemetery. We join with
the host of friends of the hereaved fawily
in extending our sympathy. *

the well-known Farmers’ Mills merchant,
underwent an operation in the Bellefonte
hospital on Tuesday, with the hope that
his life might be prolonged thereby. Drs.
Carl Vischer, of Philadelphia, and Locke,
of Bellefonte, were the surgeons and found
that a cancerous growth had practically
eaten away the exit from the stomach to
the intestines. A new channel was made
and while it might be possible to prolong
the patient’s life for some time there is no

A DOUBLE WEDDING. — The country
home of Col. and Mrs. John A. Daley, in
Curtin township, was a scene of unusual
gayety last Wednesday on account of a
double nuptial event in which their son
and daughter were principals.
One hundred and thirty guests assembled
to witness the ceremony which united Miss
Anna L. Daley and Mr. Harry E. Yeariok,
of Nittany; and Miss Blanche E. Oyler and
Mr. Frank A. Daley in marriage. The
Rev. Avery Long, of Salona, officiated, and
as Miss Velma Tobias, of Mackeyville, play-
ed the wedding march from Lobengrin, the
wedding party, consisting of the two couples
with Miss Maud Daley and Toner Robb,
and Miss Laura Oyler and Mr. Fred Harter,
of Johnsonburg, as attendants, emerged
from the house and made a picturesque
group on the spacious porch of the home
which had been converted into a veritable
bower of flowers and greens.” The brides-
elect carried bouquets of white carnations;
their maids carrving pink flowers of the
same variety.
Immediately after the ceremony an
elaborate collation was served and after
the reception thas followed the brides and
grooms departed for a trip to Philadelphia,
Atlantic City and Washington. They are
all very popular young folks in that’ com-
munity and carried away with them the
well-wishes of hosts of friends.
