Frightful Disaster on United States Ship Missouri Russians Object to Wireless Messages New York State Conventions Fund to Reward Heroes and Dependants. The awful disaster to the battleship Pctropavlovsk, which was sunk through contact with a Btray mlne Wednesday, at Port Arthur with the loss of almost her entire crew of over 700 men and the death of Vice Ad miral Makaroff, has been a most ter rific blow to tho Russians. It would have fallen less heavily if tho ship and the commander-in-chief of tho fleet had been lost in battle, but to be the result of another acci dent following upon the heels of a succession of tragedies of which tho Port Arthur fleet ha3 been the victim, it has created something like conster nation. "Reverses we can endure," said a prominent Russian, "but to have the Petropavlovsk meet the fate of the Yenesei and the Boyarin is heart breaking." BeBldes, it has Just become known that the battleship Poltava several weeks ago had a hole rammed In her by tho battleship . Sevastopol while the latter was maneuvering in the har bor of Port Arthur. Admiral Makaroff made three vlslti to the United States, the first in 18G!. Ho made a tour from California tj New York In 189G and in March, 189R. made a flying trip to Detroit. He loft New York March 2C of that year to assume command of Russia's Baltic squadron. The deceased admiral had frequent ly lectured on tho construction of warships, which mnde him famous in naval circles throughout the world, and was the author of a book entitled. "Discussion of Difficult Questions of Naval Tactics." Rear Admiral Urlu's statement thai Vice Admiral Togo'3 fleet was responsi ble for the sinking of the Petro pavlovsk is denied by the Russians. A member of the general staff says that advices do not show that a naval en gagement took plnco, unless the cor nering and sinking of the torpedo boat destroyer Bezstrashni can be so de nominated. Countermined the Harbor. The Japanese naval officers arc elated over their successes at Port Ar thur. They are also proud of the achievements of Vice Admiral Togo, particularly of his newest strategy of countermining the enemy's harbor and decoying him across this field of mines to an equally dangerous flank attack. Tho success of the system of plac ing deadly countermines is due large ly to a series of careful observations made by the Japanese during their previous attacks on Port Arthur. The Japanese saw the Russian fleet leave the harbor and return to It sev eral times and they discovered that the Russian warships followed an lden. tical course every time they came out or went in, evidently for the purpose of avoiding their own mines. The Japanese took bearings on this course. When the destroyer divisions of the Japanese torpedo flotilla laid the coun ter mines during the night of April 12 13 they placed them along this course. No Wireless Messages. The Russian government has given notice that newspaper correspondents using wireless telegraphy will be treat ed as spies and shot. New York Republican Convention. The Republican state convention In session at Carnegie hall. In New York named as delegates-at-large and alternates to the national conven tion at Chicago: Senator Piatt, alter nate J. Sloat Fassett; Senator Depew, alternate Louis Stern; Governor Odell, alternate Erastus C. Knight; Franks. Black, alternate Henry C. Brewster. The platform strongly endorsed the administrations of President Theodore Roosevelt and Governor Odell, and the delegates at large to the national con vention were "directed to use all hon orable means to secure the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt." Chairman William Barne3, Jr., of the committee on permanent organi zation, reported the nomination of Representative Sereno E. Payne as permanent chairman and a list of vice presidents representing every dis trict. The nominations wero ratified and Chairman Depew appointed Will iam L. Ward and William Barnes, Jr., to conduct Mr. Payne to the chair which was done amid cheers. Prolonged cheering followed Chair man Payne's speech and Assemblyman Jean L. Burnett, chairman of the com mittee on resolutions, then read tho platform. Yeatures of the convention were the enthusiastic receptions given Senator Piatt, Governor Odell and former Gov. ernor Black, and the applause that fol lowed the mention of the name of President Roosevelt. The direction of the convention to secure the presi dent's nomination was greeted with cheers. The congressional dispute in th; 33rd district between adherents of J. S. Fassett. and the present congress man, Gillet, was left practically with out settlement so far as the conven tion was concerned except that the ;iiiigin-Fassett delegation in Seneca county was heated permanently. The controversy over the congressional nomination will have to be decided by the contestants themselves. Republican Editorial Association. The Republican Editorial associa tion of StHte of New York held its an nual meeting at the Fifth Avenue ho tel in New York Wedneslay. President William A. Smyth of tho Times, Owe go, presided, and immediately after calling the members to order delivered his annual address.

Parker for president. Tho platform contains no reference to the financial planks of the last two national con ventions. 32 Men Killed on Missouri. Two thousand pounds of powder In the after 12-Inch tmret and the hand ling room of the battleship Missouri Captain W. S. Cowles commanding, exploded Wednesday at Pensacola, Fla., and 29 men were instantly killed and five Injured, of whom two will die. The Missouri was on the target range wi:h the Texas and Brooklyn at practice about roon, when a charge of powder In the ? 2 inch left hand gun ignited from gases exploded ami dropping bolow Ignited four charges of powder in the handling room an! all exploded. Cnly one man of the entire turret and handling crew survives. But foi the prompt and efficient work of Cap tain Cowle3 In flooding the handling room and magaz'ne with water one ol the magazines would have exploded and the ship would have been de'j troyed. The 25 men of the turret were found lying in a heap. They had started foi the exit when the first explosion oc curred and had just reached there when the' more terrible explosion hi the handling room occurred which burned and strangled them to death. Among the dead was Lleutent Grid ley a son of the late Captain Grldley who commanded fhe flagship Olympia of Admiral Dewey'9 squadron when he sailed into Manila bay and fought tho Spanish ships. He was a marine offi cer on the Missouri. He was appoint ed to the marine corps in 1900 from Pennsylvania, his native state. Chief Gunner's Mate Monson saved the ship and live3 of over COO men by jumping into the open magazine and closing the door behind him. It is stated that when Iho officers heard the explosion in the turret they realized the magazine would next explode and headed the ship for the beach. Captain Cowles quickly stopped tho plan and put the ship back to sea. The big magazine door was open when the explosion occurred, and standing against it were four charges of powder. Without a moment's hes itation Monson shoved these aside and jumping into the mngazlne pulled the door closed after him. The magazine was flooded and when the men opened the door they found Monson barely alive, the water having reached hi3 neck. The total list of the dead now num bers 32, one man having died Wednes day night and two on Thursday. Tho funerals of 17 of tho seamen occurred Thursday afternoon, fully 5,000 men being presant. Every place of busi ness at Pensacola was closed for . the afternoon. Proper Care of Remains. Secretary Moody transmitted to th" house a request lor a $10,000 appro priation to provide for the proper care of the remains of the victims of the ex plosion on the battleship Missouri. Rewards For Heroic Deeds. Andrew Carnegie has created at Httsburg a fund of $5,000,000 for the benefit of "The dependents of thoso losing their lives in heroic efforts U save their fellow men, or for the he roes themselves If Injured only." Pro. vision is also made for medals to b given in commemoration of heroii cts. The field embraced by the fund la the United States and Canada and th.; wtiters thcreoi. 'The sea is tho scene of many heroic, acts," says Mr. Car negie's letter, "and there Is 110 ac'lon more heroic thun that of doctors and nurses volunteering their services In the case of epidemics. Railroad em ployes are remarkable for heroism. All these and similar cases are em braced. Whenever heroism is di played by man or woman in saving hu man life, tho fund applies." It is directed '.hat a roll of the he rres and heroines shall bo kept dis played In the office at Pit'uburg. ALTON BROOKS PARKER. New York Convention Instructs Delegates For Him. Delegation Directed to Vote as a Unit Tammany Wat Allowed to Name a Delegate-at-large, an Alternate ano One of the Two Electors-at-Large Platform Is Brief. Albany, April 19. At 8 minutes ci 9 o'clock the Democratic convention was called to order and Chairman Schraub of the committee on creden tials reported the results of the after noon. His reference to the with drawal in Clinton county was applaud ed. He moved the previous question and all debate was cut off. Senator McCarren then followed with the report of the committee on platform, John B. Stanchfleld Inter rupting to ask that the temporary chairman, George Raines of Rochester be made permanent. Mr. McCarren then read the platform. When Judge Parker's name wat read in the platform the audlenct rose to the occasion, with the excep tlou of Tammany, and cheered fo; about 20 seconds. When Mr. McCar ren moved the adoption of the plat form Senator Grady arose and was greeted with vociferous applause. Minority Amendment. Senator Grady offered the following minority amendment: "The Democracy of New York be lieves that the result of the presiden tial election now pending involves the very existence of constitutional gov ernment In this country, and in such a grave crisis it has no favor to ask cl the party In the nation, except the privilege of serving It. That this ser vice may be most effective the delegi Hon here elected is left free to takt such action at St. Louis as a majority thereof may consider most likely to in sure the success of the candidate se lected by the national convention. "Realizing, however, that the elec toral votes of New York are abso lutely essential to Democratic succes. we submit to our brethren through out the country that Alton B. Parker, a Democrat in the prime of life, has been elected by a majority of ovtii C-0,000 to the chief position in the ju dicial system of this state and during the last six years has discharged the duties of his high office with such un varying dignity, shining ability and scrupulous fideli'y, that if his term were to expire this year, he would un doubtedly be chosen to succeed him self by the concurring votes of all hi." fellow citizens." "On behalf of the minority commit tee on resolutions," said Senator Grady, "I present this supplement tc the resolutions of instnic'ions, there being no opposition on the part of the minority of that committee to the unit rule." Senator Grady went on to argue 'n favor of his amendment. "I take It," said he, "that the only purpose of this convention is to assure that. New York shall make Its contribution to national success." He challenged any friend of Judge Parker to find in Tammany's position any lack of appreciation of that able Jurist. "We ask to meet the question next July," he said. "We all have In mem ory times when conditions changed be tween April and July. Moreover, we believe this will comport better wlt'i the dignity of the chief judge of the court of appeals. An Instructed dele gation is never a very edifying sight. It usually carries very little weight to go In and favor a candidate because you were ordered to do so. How much better to act upon the hsls of mature and conscientious JudWient." Senator McCarren's Reply. Senator McCarren then spoke for the other side. He began by saying that the smallest boy In the gallery did not believe a word that Senator Grady had said. Instantly pandemonium broke loose. Mingled cheers and hisses were heard for fully two minutes be fore Senator McCarren could proceel. "Senator Grady doesn't baliave whft he said himself," McCarren went on. "The absurd argument of Senator Grady, it seems to me, will not for a moment deceive any Intelligent man In this convention. If you think for a moment of what Senator Grady pro poses you will see that I am justified in saying that it 13 not intended to ap peal to the sincere, the honest and fair mind of any delegate In the conven tion. "He has told you that an Instruct td delegation Is not always a good (hlng. Instructed delegations In 1881 secured the nomination of Grover Cleveland; In 1888 an Instructed dele gation secured his renominatlon; an Instructed delegation in 1900 secured the vote of the delegation from New York In favor of W. J. Bryan, so that I can only say to you hero as delegates that no true friend of Judge Parlor will have the Information go forth from here tonight that New York has failed to Instruct its delegates to St Louis. "Senator Grady lias told you that something may occur between now and July. Nothing will occur to make Judge Alton B. Parker any 1"S3 the available candidate than he is nov We ki.ow that tlvre In not a candidate before us lo-'ay ONcent Alton I!. Pac ker with any chance of election. As the trends of Judge Parker we must enlighten the other 41 states that th Democracy of the state of New York cither by unanimous or majority vottt has expressed Itself in favor of the election of the only available candi date that the United States has to day." Congressman W. Bourke Cockran followed. He said: "Senator McCar ren seems to have addressed himself to the smallest boy in the gallery. I address myself to the largest man in tho convention. You shall decide be tween us. "The minority resolution states rea sons, as I understand them, why Judgr Parker might be the best and most available candidate for the presidency that the Democracy could nominate. The resolutions of tho majority give no reasons whatever why Judge Pac ker should be presented to the con vention. The minority asks that this convention send a delegation to St. Louis prepared to discuss the inter ests of the party from the standpoint of its own welfare; the majority tin Bires this delegation to go to St. Lou's and ask for a favor at its hands. Th majority wish to go to St. Louis and nsk that Judge Parker be nominatod to oblige us. The minority thinks we ought to go there and give reasons why Judge Parker should he nominat ed in the interests of the Democracy. "Now the minority has a higher opinion of Judge Parker than those gentlemen who profess to be hi5 friends seem to entertain. We be lieve that on his record he may be and very likely will be, the strongest man that the convention can nomln ate. We do not believe that we should load down Judge Parker with the po litical hopes and asperations of any man or set of men. We believe that in our minority report we have glve-n reasons why, if conditions do not change, he should be nominated by the convention at St. Louis.'- Former Assemblyman W. V. Cooke Of Albany made the final argument for the majority platform. He es pecially ridiculed the idea that condi tions might change between now an I July and said he wondered why it had not been proposed to postpone the July convention till November to see if conditions might not change sLT. more by that time. After Mr. Cooke had finished, the c.uestlon was put to vote, the roll be ing called upon motion of Senator Grady. Senator Hill arose in the Albany delegation amid wild cheering, ani suggested that the vote be taken by counties. This was agreed to. Amendment Voted Down. The New York amendment was lost, ty a vote of 149 ayes and 301 noes. The affirmative vote was cast as fol lows: New York 105, Richmond 3. Westchester 9, Queens 9, Putnam 3, Onondaga 3, Kings 3, Franklin 3, Duel, ess 1, Clinton 3, Chenango 3, Chauta-i-qua 3, Broome 1. The platform as originally reported was then adopted by a viva voce vote, the list of delegates, alternates and electors was read and adopted and the new state committee was announced. Senator Dowling offered a resolution vhich was adopted that the state committee be authorized to fill any and all vacancies that may occur in tho list of presidential electors and elec-tors-at-large. Delegates and Electors. The convention selected the follow ing delegates-at-large: David B. Hi'.l of Albany, Edward Murphy, Jr., of Troy, George Ehret of New York city and James W. Ridgway of Brooklyn. As alternates It selected C. N. Bulger of Oswego, W. Caryl Ely of Buffalo, C. H. Ackerman of Broome and Frai. cls Burton Harrison of New York. The convention was instructed by a vote of 301 to 149 for Alton B. Parker as the state candidate for president. Tammany was not treated badly as had been predicted, being allowed to name a delegate-at-large, Mr. Ehret, and an alternate and one of the two electors-at-large, Harry Payne Whit ney.
