Sea Horror Struck on Isle of Rock
The Norge steamship carrying six hundred emigrants from Copenhagen to New York wrecked off Rockall in heavy seas. Only about 27 survivors were rescued by the Grimsby trawler Salvia, with hopes fading for the rest. The disaster, one of the worst Atlantic tragedies, left hundreds of lives lost as lifeboats were crushed and passengers struggled in freezing water. The ship sank rapidly after striking a reef, with reports noting chaotic hatchways and overwhelmed arrangements as rescue efforts continued.

Bryan on Gold Plank Opposes Parker in Democratic Scene
William Jennings Bryan arrived at the Jefferson Hotel in St Louis amid a dense crowd and refused to discuss a gold plank or any specific nomination. He said he would not support a gold plank and would not answer questions about his course if the gold plank were adopted. He stressed he is not urging any candidate and favors a platform and candidate trusted to carry out Democratic policies. He noted opposition to Parker centers on Wall Street influences and a possible anti Parker sentiment among radical Democrats. Continued on third page.

Erasure in Accounts in Dreyfus Inquiry Opens New Phase
In Paris the Dreyfus case advances with erasure in a secret bureau account being explored. A court martial examines officers of the bureau now under arrest. Chemical erasure was deemed unreliable and potentially paper-damaging, so expert photography was used with a report and a photographic reproduction. Deciphering the image rests with handwriting experts. The piece also advertises a July 7 and July 14 excursion via Pennsylvania Railroad at 1 50 am for 17.03 pounds.
