PartIenI1T0 o. The z. q. disaster.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 29.-At noon to-day
terrible crash.in Kansas City warned
the people at the corner of Seventh and
Walnut street that the Midland hotel,
new structure eight stories high
owned by the Grand avenue Improve
ment company, had collapsed, the
given in and demoralized the upper
stories and made unsafe the east
and west walls. The building was
crowded with Workmen, who were un-
able to get out of the building, as the
debris had crushed down the stairway.
The west wall was rent with great
cracks, and the gathering masses of
people on the streets moved along the
danger line, in the excitement careless
of their own safety, directing all those
who had taken refuge on this SIDE Of
building to take safe positions on the
opposite side. Scarcely had the dust
subsidized and the debris settle when
the work of search for the dead and
wounded began.
The first man taken out was Foreman
Stone; his life is disposed of. Lou
Hunt was found badly hurt IN the spine.
Joe Mooney, VIM, Miller, Jack y 'Brlen
Jack Birch, foreman, and Chicago boy
were taken out badly wounded.
The work of clearing away the ruins
was progressing all afternoon and 1t is
possible that more men will be found
under the avalanche of the debris.
The Midland was projected by
Messrs. N. b. Ream, w. E. Hale and
James B. Smith, of Chicago. 1t was
eight stories high and was to involve
the expenditure of 100000. Prepare
tions were being made to begin the in
terror decoration of the building this
week, and the lessees, Messrs. Howe
and Hill, hoped to open the house
March 1st. They now say that 1t will
be impossible to open before September
1st. The accident appears to have re-
suited from the lacking of ''shoe"
ON which rested the foot of
and the ceiling of the dining room on
the top floor. The heavy steel beam
being knitted to others pulled the ad-
jacent trusses down and they tore their
way down through the lower floors as
though they were so many egg shells,
piling up mass of terra Gotta flooring,
brick, plastering and mortar. The re-
suit of the accident leaves the hotel
with hole about so by rs feet square
where the beams forced their way
downward. The greater part of the
immense building is not injured in any
respect, and the loss is placed at $780,
600. Until closer inspection or the
building is made it is impossible to tell
how long it will take to repair the
damage.
LATER.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 27.-Later
developments show that the escape of
the wOrkmen was almost miraculous.
Only one man was killed and only one
of the injured now is expected to die
Jack O'Bbrien. The dead man is
Frank Edison, young carpenter who
was at work on the second floor. He
has not been found, and tonight a
gang of forty men are searching for his
body. No one else is missing, and the
wounded, several of whom were at
first reported dangerously injured, are
all doing we'll with the exception OF

Mr.. Smith, one of the owners, went
to Chicago tonight to consult with the
other stockholders, while Mr.. Hall re-
mains to supervise affairs here.

win the strike be Extended.


but speak with knowledge.
Will the strike be Extended.
CHICAGO, March 3.-Referring to the
summoning here of the grievances
committees of the various railroads by
Chiefs Arthur and Sargent the Times
says: The opinion in railroad circles is
divided as to the probability of the
strike being extended beyond the Bur-
lington involving other roads. Those
who take the view that it will be con-
fined within its present bounds base
| their belief upon feeling that the
brotherhood could not commit such an
extreme act of folly as to block all the
western lines, throw 100, 600 men out of
work, stifis trade and destroy COM
merce to carry point which only in
terests twelve or thirteen hun
dred men. The optimistic Of
| ficials argue that there is
enough conservatism and prudence
| in the councils of the aggrieVed en-
| gineers to prevent them from taking
so radical a step. On the other hand,
there are many of the leading railroad
officials who are anticipating the worst
and who firmly believe that they are
leading up to general and disastrous
| strike. Summed up from a railroad
standpoint there are a few of the
officials who do not believe the brother
hood will dare take the responsibility
| of ordering a general strike while a
large majority are of the opinion that
all of the western lines will become
involved. They will admit that in the
event of a general tie up the railroads
would be unable to offer any effective
resistance. That there would be no
possibility of supplying the strikers
| places with new men and that if such
an outcome was the result there will be
total cessation of railroad operating
west of Chicago, except on the Burling-
ton road. James II. Gleason, a Knight
of Labor from Philadelphia, said that
all the men who were being brought
out are not staying. This strike has
not begun yet. Wait until you see the
end. These roads are helping each
other out, and we now must do the
same. That's the long and short of it
These ShamOkin men who came in to
night, 1 rather think will 60 back home
and take their old places before very
long. That's about all can say.

when he is supposed to be an appren-
tlce learning engineering. He then
takes his place. as hostler and runs
the engine from the round house, in
which capacity he may serve for a year
or more before he gets a switch engine
for another year or two, when he may
get on the road. By this time he has
served an apprenticeship of from five to
nine years, and still the company
before he gets full pay. There is no
other trade In existence that is asked
or would submit to the injustice of be-
ing candidate for the superannuated
list before becoming a full fiedged
master of the trade. There is practic-
ally no difference in the service rend-
cred, or the results to the railway be-
tween'an engineer of the first grade
and one of the third. Each has his oil,
hissengine measured out to him, and he
is compelled to run his engine with
that. There is no trade or calling in
which the years of service will deter
mine mans ability. An engineer of
one years service is often better quail
fed to run an engine than one with
twenty years experience. If you I'M
dertake to gauge the ability by the
years of service in any calling you will
be pretty apt to run into
pig hole in the ground. There
is one, and only one, just rule
to determine the question. and
that is, equal pay for equal service. Ins
the present controversy the engineers
and firemen can afford to lose the fight,
but there is no possible way in which
they can recede from their demands on
the question of wages, except at the
sacrifice of their entire organization.
1t would not be expected, and would
not be just to expect that the other
roads leading into Chicago would con-
tinue to pay higher wages than the
90" If the engineers should
accede to the present wages
offered by that road it would have an
other fight on its hands within twenty
hours, and they would have to submit
or abandon their organization. There
is no way out of the difficulty but by a
concession on the part of the company
on the question of wages or fight to the
bitter end. I do not speak by authority
but speak with knowledge.

gerated, but 1t undoubtedly contains a kernel OF
very solid and disagreeable truth. II is much
more satisfactory TO arrest conspirators in the
conspiracy stage OF a dynamite plot than to hang

Cured The present arrests In Chicago furnish
this element of satisfaction, but the general ef-
feet OF the discovery that the dynamterS are

But II seems that the evil must again be vigor-
