London, June 28th.—Two thousand British, Australian, ‘erman and Finnish prisoners of war were drowned when a Bolsheviki steamer was sunk recently in the Neva river according to a Helsing- fors despatech to the ‘‘Central News.” A Reuter’s report from Stockholm would seem to confirta tnis despatch, sayinz that a ship was sunk on the 6th of June with two thousand repatriated prisoners on board, it does not, however, menticn any loss of life. San Francico, June 28th. -Issues rather thar men furnished the bat.eground {or the demoecratic national convention open- ing here today. Candidates cannot be considered until prohibition, the league of nations and the Irish question have been fought out on tae floor.

The.big fight is over William Jennings Bryan’s determination to have a plat- form ;'‘no wet can run on’’. Cox and Palmer ar- expected to go in for a fes of strength on the flrst ballots. Strong forces working for MacAdoo will wait in the background for the physchologi- cal moment. Vice President Marshall will be brought forward :s a ‘‘dark horse’’.
