Circassia who to this day re-enact that
old biblical story. Each believes that

But even if not chosen by royalty,
those who purchase the beautiful dam

degradation is attached to their posi-

Nearly 900. 900 Tons of Rock Looscned BY
u Single Explosion.


Nearly 900. 900 Tons of Rock Looscned by
Single Explosion.
For many years a huge mass Of rock
technically known as a ..dize," u legacy
from previous workers. has frowned
over one of the Great Dinerwic quarries,
the property of Mr.. Assertion Smith.
and has been Il growing menace to the
safety of men employed in the galleries
below, which, in a series of terraces, rise
almost from the edge of the lake far up
the steep breast of the mountain. The
Hon. w. w. Vivian, who manages the
quarries for Mr.. Assertion Smith, de-
cided to renovet the dixie, and during the
last three months preparations for its
destruction have been in active progress.
From three longitudinal tunnels in the
solid rock 10 chambers, each II feet by
4 feet, were made and charged with gel
attn dynamite. Each bag of this ex-
plosive was placed in position by Mr..
Vivian himself. Everything having been
satisfactorily arranged, Mrs. Assertion
Smith was requested to fire the 90 min
utes' time fuse leading to tho mass of
some 81 tons Of gelatin dynamite safely
packed in the entrails of the rock, a re-
quest to which she readily acceded. The
hour was fixed for l o'clock on Satur-
day, and shortly before the time thou
sands of people from Llanberis and adj
jacent yillages-Bangor, Carnarvon and
other towns-took up advantageous posi-
tions in the neighborhood.
Punctually at the appointed time Mrs.
Assertion Smith fired the time fuse, and
at 1:02 o'clock the earth for q mile round
was shaken as If by an earthquake. At
the next instant the face of the tremen-
dous dixie. which lowered gloomily up
ward and on either side Of which the
rain covered rock glistened in a passing
burst OF sunshine. began to culver omi-
nously, and the loose earth in its crevices
clattered down It's smooth face like an
avalanche. Next from different parts Of
thsrock came suffering bursts of smoke,
and then enormous blocks detached them
selves from the mountainous mass Of rock,
toppled slowly forward and finally crash
cd into the abyss below with ~deafening
uproar, which. mingling with the thun-
ders Of the exploding dynamite. now
freed from its rocky prison. reverberated
grandly among the mountains that tow
cred ruggedly into the cloud darkened
sky. Again and again was the downfall

Democratic Caucus.

WASHINGTON, July 30-,Representa-
tive Springer is proceeding with a
petition for House caucus on the
tariff. @If it becomes apparent to day
that there is a dedlock, then the eau
ems will be held tomorrow" he said.
"WhIle the Mills bill was pending, we
caucused almost daily, and in the
present contest the Democratic Sena-
tors have been caucusing almost con.
stantly and their present resistance
is the result of caucus. 1t is rather
singular, therefore, that there be
any question as to the desirability of
having the House Democrats get to-
gether.
Springer has not consulted Speaker
Crisp or Chairman Wilson as to the
caucus, and said he did not feel call
ed upon to do 30.
Chairman Holman of the Democrat
ic caucus committee agrees with
Springer that the meeting may be
put off for day to letthe Democratic
conferees come to- gether, although it
will be held tomorrow if it is clear
deadlock exists.
WASHINGTON, July 30-The full
conference committee met shortly
after II o'clock and on the sugges-
ton Of Wilson decided to adjourn to
meet at the call Of the Chairman, the
statement being made that the Dem
ocrats are unable to agree as yet.
The time of the House Democratic
caucus has been changed to Thurs
day afternoon.
The Democratic members of the
tariff conference are still wide apart
and will go into the full conference
without being prepared for concerted
Democratic action. The House mem.
bers declared to day they would not
accept the Senate sugar schedule, and
the Senate conferees refused to change
this schedule.
Republicans do not seem to think
the deadlock is likely to be broken
very soon.
