The meeting was called to order in the court house at 11 o'clock, with about four hundred present. Congressman Layer, who has no opposition, was the first speaker, lie referred to his record and re? viewed the Democratic outlook in national affairs, severely condemning a certain leader who after being signally honored by the party for eight years, is now doing his utmost to destroy harmony in the party and knife its leaders. Me said the party now has the greatest opportunity of years to . win, and to do so Democrats have i only to rally behind the conservative lenders who are working for harnrmy. Gov.

IOvidcnco of n startling nature, which doubtless will have an important bearing upon the ultimate result of the coroner's inquiry into the Gen. Slocutn disaster, was forthcoming today. Perhaps the most unexpected iocident was the refusal to answer questions of Henry Lundbarg,* a United States steamboat inspector, who was supposed to have inspected the life preservers and tlin bull of the ill fated steamer. Ilia refusal was based on the ground that an answer might lend to incrimill xle him and ho acted on the advice of his counsel. The coroner committed Lundberg to tho house of detention but later accepted $500 bail for his appcaranco at tho hearing tomorrow which was satisfactory to the assistant district attorney. By the use of dynamite and heavy guns fired by men from tho second battery scores of bodies were brought up from the bottom around tho shores of North Brother island today.

Of these 700 havo been identified and the missing still arc up pruxi mated at something more than 300.
