The cables Of suspension bridge are
subjected to great strains and are therefore
firmly anchored at each shore end to heavy
masses Of masonry, generally by means Of
long bars of iron or steel having holes at
each end by which they are bolted or pinned
together. In examining the anchorage Of
one end Of the smaller suspension bridge at
Niagara one Of these bars was found to be
broken, aud the problem of replacing it was
quite difficult, since the wires attached to
it had to have the same tension when it was
in place "a they had when the old bar was
intact The new bar was formed Of piece
of steel 20 feet long, inches wide and three
quarters Of an iuch thick, with hole in one
end and provided at the other with band
bolted to it.
This band was designed to pass around
an iron bar in the abutnent and resist the
pull of the wires. When the band had
been placed about this pin in the masonry
and bolted to its bar the latter was careful
ly heated 10y I: wooden fire in a trough be-
low it until it had expanded sufficiently to
allow the end of the wire cable to be con
nected with it. AS 1t cooled down it con
tracted more and more until at the normal
temperature the wires attached to it We're
strained to the same amount as the Others,
and in this way difficult problem WAS
easily and cheaply solyed.-St. Louis Globe

EASTERN RAILROAD WRECKS.
Twenty-One People Injured Near
Akron, Ohio.

CLEVELAND, July %. - The Worlds
Fair excursion train on the Pittsburg and
Western road was wrecked near Akron
this morning. Three coaches were de-
rallied by spreading rails and thrown over
an embaukment. In all twenty-one per-
sons were seriously hurt, three fatally.
Physicians were at once sent from Akron,
and the injured taken to the hospital in
that city. The accident was due to de-
fective ties on a sharp curve. Most OF the
passengers wers from Washington and
Baltimore The fatally injured are: j. Fl.
MERCK, Rumeston, Iowa: Judson Hunt
Philadelphia; Leta Hunt, Baltimore.
It is marvellous that lot of people were
not killed. A sandy roadbed rotten ties,
a heavily loaded train aud fast running
over a sharp curve were the causes of the
wreck.
There were nearly 400 passengers on the
train and three rear coaches left the track.

ment. Two of the Goa hes turned over
and over, and that the inmates escaped
with their lives is considered wonderful.
Many were pinned under the wreck for
some time and all suffered painful cuts
and bruises.

RANGER ON THE ROCKS.
The Vessels Narrow Escape From

VALLEJO, July 25.- Naval advices re-
ceived here yesterday from the United
States ship Ranger, dated llliluik. Alaska,
July 8, say that her British Majesty s
sloop-0f-war Garnet sails for Victoria to-
morrow morning, and the English skipper
has signifed his willingness to carry down
our mail. How kind of him. after having
his ships bunkers filled with Uncle Sam S
coal from those OF our invincible flagship
Mohicanl We have not received any mall
since we left Port Townsend on the 25th
of May, and it is doubtful if we shall get
any more before the last of August. as to-
morrow we set sail and leave here on a
cruise of Bering Sea, not to return until
satisfied that no poachers are about.
While cruising from Sitka to Sand
Point the Ranger, which has caused the
Navy Department so much anxiety, came
within an ace of being mum bered with "the
ships that never return" We were off
K odiak Island on June 13 and were sailing
along serenely, all hands and many Of the
deck watch having turned In. At about 12
o'clock, midnight, the crew were uncere-

bow, and from cliffs from which seagulls
were flying with fright soundinRs were
taken and to our horror scarcely enough
fathoms were found to float the ship.
The skipper came on deck and ordered
the ship about, but not until we were con-
vinced from the solid humping that we
were among the rocks. Fortunately we
cleared without serious damage, but it was
q close call and one not enjoyed.
The United States steamships Mohlcan
and Petrol are here from the Asiatic sta
tion.
Hunting and fishing are our only sport.
While out yesterday we secured prize in
a genuine bald-headed American eagle,
which measured IA feet from tip to tip.
The bird is not dead, but badly wounded,
and if he can be pulled through we will
bring him home.

CAUSE OF IRELAND.
Progress of the HOme-RuIe Bill
in the Commons,
Gladstone and Chamberlain Have a
Passage at Arms in the House.
Truth Not in Him.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

LONDON, July 25.-Iu the Commons
this evening the committee of the whole
continued the discussion of the financial
propositions Of the home-rule bill. John
Redmond, leader of the Parnelltes, moved
an amendment that the Irish Legislature
should receive immediate control of Irish
taxes. as proposed originally by Gladstone,
instead of being forced to leave the taxes
in the hands of the British for six years,
as stipulated in the new clause.
Gladstone said that the Government
could not accept the amendment, and,
after some acrim onious debate, it was re-
jected. Then joseph Chamberlain moved
TO make permanent the provisional
arrangement that Irish taxes should be
collected for six years by the Imperial
Government. In speaking to the motion
Chamberlain denounced the Government
for trucking to the Nation alists.
When Gladstone rose to re ply the House
was filled. Gladstone began by omparng
Chamberlain's attitude toward the bill
with the proverbial attitude of the DEVILS
advocate, whose function it Is to seize
eagerly on every human failing and to
misconstrue every thing capable of mis-
construction.
This fling at Chamberlain pleased the
Irish members immensely. After repel.
ling the charge that the Irish might event
ually do as they pleased under the pro-
visions of the bill and that it In reality
settled nothing. the Premier. in a voice of
anger. said: "The right honorable gentle
man has brought into public life the practics
OF continually and deliberately. with the
utmost confidence in his own infallibility.
ascribing 10 men who have right To stand
on the same level with him, who were at
one time his colleagues and supposed to be
his friends, motives for their acts which
they Indignantly disclaim. PROLONGED
cheers.] By what right of infallbility is
he enabled to pronounce on the state OF
things in Ireland six years hence? The
irish members in the house now number
103, yet nobody will contend that they are
omnipotent. They will return in dimin-
