THERE seems to be a very general
feeling among congressman that they
do not want 10 pass the Edmunds'
resolution for a recess until Novem-
Der 10. The session will be a long
n and the members will need rest
when it Is ended. They Will not
find much chance for recuperation
during the revise labors of q cam
paign, and. to meet in congressional
session Immediately after the election
will be rather trying to human en-
durence. The probabilities are that
the resolution will not be adopted.

CHICAGO secured the Worlds Fair
and does not know what to do with
the white elephant she wonfrom New
York in the rattle. The Fair, as a ma
tional institution, should have been
held in the national capitol, under
government direction and control,
and the national congress should
have provided the means. Having
become a sectional and not a national
affair, the country "a only feel cha
grined that Chicago cannot carry the
affair to a successful issue.

A Fatal Disaster on the Fort

Three Lives Lost and 100000
Worth Of Property Destroyed.

A wreck tnat caused the death Of three
men and resulted in the destruction Of prop
erty valued at s10O, 900 has occurred on thu
Pittsburg, Chicago and Fort Wayne Rail
road, near Lakeville, Ohio. The names Of
the victims are: John Cowan, engineer,

Freight train No. 93 was running in several
sections, and at J.ekevil'a tsc third section
hrok. coupling, and the detached portion o.
the train, consisting OF dozen n,;s cars ,aao ano
to a stand. The conductor and brakeman
OF the third section said they at onca
started back to warn the the fourth section.
They ran for half mile, placing many tor
pedoes on the track. But the warning was
not needed and the train, running down
grade at the rate Of thirty miles an hour,
Crashed into the third section, plous hing
half through the detached portion.
As the collision occurred the tank car e4-
ploded with noise that could be heard for
mile away, and, the blazing gasoline spread
inc. the wrecked cars were soon enveloped
in flames. !,
The three men who were killed were in the
cab of the engine of the fourth section. Their
bodies were burned to crisp IN the names
that ragged for two hours. Oh anu SaSollne
cars, gondolas loaded with coke and coal ana
box-cars filled with merchandise made up tne
trains and all this mass was fuel for as
fierce fire as ever ragged after railroad
wreck.
The flames rolled up for quarter of a mile
along the track, and night was changed into
day. Awakened by the explosions OF tne
tank cars and alarmed at the terceness or the
fire, farmers hurried to the scene of the
wreck from every direction. No one could
approach within hundred yards of the
burning mass, however, and the charred
bodies of the victims were not taken out for
several hours. So intense was the heat that
the bell of the engine tosection No: melted
and the metal was encrusted upon the boiler;
The rails for several hundred feet were all
twisted out of shape and the ties burned.
The trainmen of section No. say those OF
section No. must have been asleep, 1t Is
believed, however, the warning was not as
timely as these men claim.

THE KING OF BRIDGES.
Opening the Great structnre over
the Firth of Forth.

Onenfng the Great Structure Over
the Firth of Forth.
The great railway bridge over the River
Forth at Edinburgh, Scotland, has just been
opened by the Prince of Wales with great
ceremony. Many eminent engineers and
railway directors were present. An i'm
mense crowd of spectators witnessed the
ceremony. The day was observed as noh-
day in Edinburgh in honor OF the occasion.
The Forth Bridge has been styled the kng
of Bridges. It Is big enough to be added 70
the wonders of the world. 1t far surpasses
not only in utility, but in its structure as an
engineering feat, the Eifel Tower. The cal
cuiation has been made that one OF the three
cantilevers Of the bridge, with its connecting
eirders, if set up lengthways on end, would
Be very nearly the same height as the Paris
tower.
The latter only contains 1900 tons of iron,
while the Forth Bridge has absorbed over
so 900 tons of the finest steel that could be
procured 1t was begun in 1883, and has
taken about seven years to complete. Inc
bridge proper is Just over mile in length, bu'
there are yiadrcts on each end connecting II
with the high ground, and these together add
half o. mile more to the length of the WORK.
The height OF the spans above the water Is
15O feet. allowing for the passage OF the
LARGEST vessels. To attain this height, and
vet to have the necessary strength, the car;
filevers tower high above, and they required
an elevation as high as st. Pauls Cathedral
A COMPARISON between the Forth and other
GREAT bridges of the world is as follows:

at an Enormous Advance.
Secretary Window has awarded the lease
for twenty years Of the exclusive privilege
of killing seal.; on the islands of st.
George and St. Paul in Behring Sea. The
award goes to the North American Com.
mercial Company, of New York and San
Francisco. Theprincipal stockholders in the
new corporation are J; Lis Liebes' furrisr, Of
San Francisco; u. ~. I"-;-, '
and Lloyd Tcvis, of San Francisco.
The company to which the CONTRACT has
been awarded was by far the highest bidder.
The Alaska Commercial Company, whose
lease is about to expire, paid rental of $55,-
900 and a royalty of $685. for each skin
In three bids. The first was an agreement to
give S55, 200 year for twenty years as an
annual rental and to pay revenue tax OF S2
On every fur seal taken. In addition to this,
however, they offered-and it is on this un-
expectedly liberal bonus that the Secretary
bases his award-S7.62E on each seal. The
company also offered bonus Of 50 cents on
each gallon Of seal oil made from seal taken
from the islands.
The grand total of the North American
Commercial Company's bid for the right to
catch 100, 600 fur seals in Alaska yearly runs
up to the enormous figure Of S22, 500, 600,
and adding the seal-oil bounty and
the provisions which are required to be made
for the natives at the expense Of the conf
pany, the final figures will probably not fall
below s25, ,0OO, 000. On the basis Of 10000
seals yearly it will still reach the gratifying
sum of s13, 100, 600, or nearly twice what the
