TOW PATH CAVED.
Serious Delay to Trains on tho
New York Central

UTICA, n. Y, May 25.-The tow path
bank of the Erie canal gave way six
miles west of this city this evening,
washing out the New York Central rail-
road tracks and throwing freight train
into the ditch. The level is sixty miles
in length, and the water in the Mohawk
is rising rapidly. Trains on the Cen
tral will probably be transferred to
the West Shore track around the wash
out. The break occurred about 8 this
evening. The tracks of the New York
Central railroad were submerged and
undermined. Warning was given by
man named Albert Fulcher, but al
though his appearance prevented
serious wreck, the engine and about
fifteen cars Of a freight train plunged

water IN the canal was lowered to
depth of less than two feet. The gates
were opened at various points to relieve
the pressure The leyel is nearly fifty
miles long and the volume of water
very great. Fortunately there were no

DEPEW AND ARTHUR.
They Agree on the Subject of
Strikes.

NEW HAVEN, Con-, May 25.-A union
meeting of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers was held here to-day.
At the public session in the afternoon
1900 people were in attendance. Grand
Chief P. NJ. Arthur delivered an ad-
dress, in which he said among other
things: ''In regard to strikes, l hold
that the policy of the brotherhood is a
Just and wise one in dealing with diff
ferences that arise between employer
and employe. My idea of solving such
problem, is, in the words of the Bible ::
Come let us reason together When
ever there has been a railroad disposed
to meet the brotherhood and reason with
its members, a strike has never Oc-
Cured. There is no such thing in the
brotherhood as ordering strike. No one
is vested with the authority OF ordering
men to quit. | am opposed
to our brotherhood forming an alliance
with any other class of labor. Character
makes the man and without that no or
ganiZatOn can succeed. | attribute
our success to the fact that we have
kept aoof from all other organizations.
Our policy has been in PLAIN, solid Eng
lish: Mind your own business When
the brotherhood federates with any
other organization. it will forfeit
[ the respect, not only of the
public at large, but of the
employers" AS Hon. Chauncev NJ. De-
pew stepped to the front of the plat
form he was given rOusing reception.
He began his remarks by saying: Il
want to say at the outset and to say it as
president of the New York Central u
Hudson River railroad that every word
uttered by Grand Chief Arthur is in
dorsed by me-" He then continued: Il
am here not so much to make speech
as TO be here. Railroad service demands
intelligence ana character. The rail-
road man is universally known. Every
body knows him, and such man can
not have bad character without there
comes such cry from the community
that his place is gone. The question
between capital and labor has been bet
ter settled by the brotherhood than by
any other organization in the country.
Labor has come to- the protection of
capital against demagogues." Addresses
were also smade by President Charles
2. Clark, of the New York d New
Haven road, Col. w. FL. Stevenson, of
the Housatonic system, and others.

The Republican Congress Get
ting Rid Of Funds at an
Alarming Rate.
Figures and Estimates Indi-
cate the Deficiency Will
Be $100,00O,OOO.
Both the Senate and House
Are Now Considering Ap-
preparation Bills.
Manufacturers and Importers
Want a Hearing on the
Mckinley Bill.

W4sHINGToN, May 25.-Conservative
members Of congress are beginning to
feel little uneasy about the way the
appropriation bills are piling up this
session. The amount of appropriations
on bills already passed and pending
point to an aggregate that will exceed
government revenues by many millions
during the coming fiscal year. Govern
ment revenue from all sources for the
year, including the postal revenue, was
placed by the treasury department re-
Gently at $3.50, 4O0 900. The regular an
nual appropriation bills, exclusive of de-
fciencies, will amount to about 1926, ,000,-
600, and the permanent appropriations,
including the sinking funds, will reach
S101, 100000. The deficiency bills will,
according to the estimates of the men,
bers of the senate appropriations COM
mittee, be at least 100000. That
makes an aggregate of $3.50, 100000 of ap-
preparations exclusive of the dependent
pension bill, which, if it becomes law
as passed by the senate, will call for
S26,000,000. Appropriations for the in
crease of the navy as passed by the
house amount to ss,OOO,OOO. There has
been $l,50O,OOO appropriated for the
Worlds fair. If the river and harbor
bill and the Galveston harbor bill, and
the one for the lake channel between
the upper and lower lakes all pass. that
will make S32,OOO,O 900 more to be added
to the appropriations. The miscellaneous
appropriations at the last short session
mounted to 10,255.795, and they are
likely to amount to good deal more at
this session, as the public building bills
already reported in the house carry an
aggregate appropriation of Sl4,0O0.000,
to say nothing of the senate bills, but if
the miscellaneous appropriations carry
only the same amount as at the last ses
sion, the total of appropriations will
amount to s547, 1856, ,795, leaving de-
ficiency of s97,oOo,OOO. These figures
and estimates leave out of sight possi
BILE appropriations for coast defenses,
tn e direct tax bill and other things,
which, if made, will swell the deficit
considerably above hundred millions.

NEW YORK SHOCKED.
An Earthquake Visits the Excel
SiOr State.

UTICA. N. Y, May 27.-Shortly after
7 a. m. to-day the Mohawk valley was
disturbed by slight shock of earth
quake, accompanied by lightning and
heavy winds. The shock in this vicln-
ity was very light, but increased id in
tensity to Montgomery county, where,
at Fort Hunter, it was quite severe. At
Little Falls, dishes were ratified and a
rumbling. as of distant thunder, was
heard. At first buildings were shaken
and beds shaken so that the occupants
were awakened. At Utica dishes were
ratified and some people report a slight
vibration. but the shocks we're hardly
perceptible. No damage is thus far re-
ported in any quarter. This is the first
seismic phenomenon of note here since
1884.
GLovERsvILLE, n. Y, May 25.-At7 Z
O'Clock this morning the city was Wis
tied with a severe shock of earthquake.
Large buildings were shaken, people
bed and glass was shattered. The
loud rumbling sound. At the
same moment the fire alarm bells
rang out and the whole city
turned out, the excitement being in
tense. A small dwelling was burned.
Later in the morning, when the excite
ment had hardly subsidized, the fire bells
again gave the alarm and large brick
building in the rear of the opera house
was discovered to be iii flames. 1t was
occupied by Julius Cole as launiry
and was entirely destroyed. Another
slight shock of earthquake was felt
about noon. The shock was the most
severe ever felt in this vicinity.

LONDON. May 25.-Persons of apeace-
able turn of mind. who have weak
spot in their hearts for arbitration, dis
armament and other nonwarlike
schemes. have had much to grieve them
lately. In the first place. Mr.. Stanley,
who has been sort of pet of these gen.
try, has astounded them by sneering at
them in public as old grannies and fools.
Nothing could be more cynical nor more
cruel than the explorers sudden and
candid declaration Of contempt for the
peace contingent. Heretofore he has
always allowed himself to be lauded to
the skies-the pioneer Of civilization
and Christianity, the opener-up of COM
merce, The deliverer of the blacks from
the bondage of ignorance, the friend of
the missionary, etc.-but now he throws
Off the mask and is revealed as the gigan-
tic land grabber pure and simple; the
acquirer of territory, by peaceful meth
ods if possible, but if not, then by force
at least the religious societies and
peace organizations, such of them as
have recovered their breath since STAN
ley's recent speech, are now saying
these things about him. They have
also found little comfort in the political
happenings of the week. Every nation
is increasing its armament; even little
Denmarck has felt compelled to show
that she can buy guns just like her big
neighbOrs, and she has bought her full
proportion at the least, namely, seven
teen 40-caliber steel guns and twenty
four long-range pieces of somewhat less
capacity. At home things do not
look much brighter for those
who anticipate the day of univer-
sal brotherhood. Right Hon. Ed
ward Stanhope, secretary Of state for
war, in speech last night stated that
the government was giving very close
attention to England's coast defenses,
which it proposed to greatly improve,
and in fact to perfect. Defense is not
exactly war, but,it implies war, and the
secretary's remarks make it clear that
no delusions as to the possibility of dis j.
armament prevail among those who are
responsible for the safety of the coun-
try. All of which is doubtless re-
aretted by many people besides the
''peace cranks."

HE'S EVIDENTLY CRACKED.
Vagaries of a Preacher Of the Do
miniOn.

mlnIOn.
MONTREAL, Que, May 25'-The lead
ing sensation in religious circles for the
past three weeks has been the disap-
pearance of Rev. Mr.. Martin, formerly
priest of the Roman Catholic church,
but latterly identified here with various
Protestant bodies. The sensation
was increased tonight when it
was known that Mr.. Martin ap-
peared with his wife, whom he recently
deserted. at the morning service to-day
at Russell hall, French Presbyterian
church on st. Catherine street. Mr..
Martin said tonight that, having be-
come discouraged thorugh i'll health and
inability to support his family, he made
an agreement with the archbishop to
return to the Catholic church on the
condition that his family would be
provided for. He then went down
to Antagonist, N. S., to the Trap
pists monastery. where the abbot had
been instructed to receive him as a
priest going into retreat, but there he
found his domestic ties were too strong,
and accordingly returned to his family.
The archbishop was seen tonight by an
Associated Press correspondent, and in
formed for the first time of the priests
second apostacy. He could offer no
reason for his strange conduct. The
Protestant clergy are much perpleXed
over the mans Vagaries. and not a little
chagrined at the faithlessness of their

MANY MONEY MEASURES.
Appropriation Bills Before Both
Houses Of Congress.

Appropriation BlliS before bOCn
Houses of Congress.
WASHINGTON, May 25.--Several sub
jects of Importance are likely to engage
the attention of the senate this week.
The naval appropriation bill, over which
debate of unexpected length occurred
last week, is still undisposed of, and
will come up tomorrow as unfinished
business. That it will be disposed
of in one session is uncertain, as
an attack upon the appropriation for
three battle-ships is expected from
the Democratic size of the cham
Der. By an agreement reached last
Friday, Senator Wilson's bill to place
imported liquors in original packages
under state regulation is the special
order for Tuesday, to be discussed to a
finish. Senator Pugh has given notice
of his intention to speak on the silver
bill after the naval bill is disposed of.
but will doubtless withhold his remarks
until the silver bill is taken up, after
the debate on the imported liquor bill.
Under the conditions that will exist, it
is doubtful if the silver bill will get a
hearing this week. Friday will be
Memorial day, and the senate will
adjourn from Thursday until Satur-
day, which, under the present ar
rangement. is devoted to bills on the
calendar to which there is no objection
made. The committee on appropria-
tions expect to have the Notifications
and legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bills ready to report dur
ing the week. Probably the small re-
mander of the river and harbor bill
which has not yet been considered will
ho Of hu tho hnrca IN
before it embarks upon the conSidera-
tion of District of Columbia matters, in
GLIDING the Rock Creek park bill which
has for some time stood as the un6n-
ished business in the way of other local
legislation. The conference report on
the antitrust bill may be presented
early in the week. and will doubt
less give rise to much dObate. as
the report is unacceptable to Mr..
Bland and other Democrats. The Ala
bama contested election case was to
have come up Tuesday, but has again
been postponed by agreement in order
to afford time fol. the preparation of the
minority report. 1t was the intention
to allot days during the week to the
public buildings committee and the ju
dietary committee. which latter is urg
ing action on the judges salary and the
bankruptcy bills, but the absence of
Speaker Reed may cause a postpone
ment of the proposed arrangement. 1t
is possible, however, as Mr.. Carisle's
retirement from the house leaves a Re-
publican majority in the committee Oh
rules, even in the absence of the speak
er. that this programme may be at once
carried out. The posIoffice appropria-
ton bill is within easy reach OH the
calendar and the conference reports
Oh the District of Columbia appropria-
sion bill, the service pension bill and
the administrative customs bill are
among the possible subjects for consid-
Grafton.
