some days. Yesterday, the last day Of
the trial, the courthouse was crowded
with men and women anxious to wit

people were leaving Immediately after
the adjournment Of court. and were
jammtd upon the stone stairway lead
Ing TO the street the lofty staircase
fell. The scene that followed was ap-
palling. Immense masses OF masonry
from above crashed down on the
struggling people below, grinding
through their flesh and bones and
manning and mutilating them in a
staircase and the shrieks of the people
lying helpless in the ruins caused a
panic in the courtroom and there was
rush for the now wrecked exit.
Those who were In front were unable
TO Withstand the pressure from behind
and were hurled down upon the men

staircase and whom the people in the

Of serious character.
A still later dispatch from Theirs

The total number of wounded Is now
placed at l63. OF these fourteen are
seriously injured, and some OF them
will die.

drafts of the proposed treaty each con =
tanning full text of all the rival ver-
sions of clause ten, will be submitted to
the different powers, who will deal
through their respective diplomatic
channels with the question involved.

Earl Rosebe,ry,s Mission

Earl Rosebeiry's Mission
BERLIN, June ALDERMAN diplo-
mats allege that one of the causes, and
the greatest, of the resignation of the
Gladstone government was the fail
ure of the secret mission of
Earl Roseberry, British keeper of
the privy seal, to Berlin. These
diplomats now assert that the
object OF the mission was to secure a
reconciliation between Mar. Gladstone
and Prince Bismarck.
Another cause Is said to have been
the failure of Chamberlain's secret
mission to Paris.
