La CHAMPAGNE's NARROW ESCAPE.
CLOSE SHAVE FROM COLLISION WITH A
BRITISH STEAMSHIP.


When the French Line steamship La Cham
payne. which arrived here yesterday from
Havre was one day out at sea, she narrowly
escaped a collision with British steamship
which suddenly loomed up out OF a dense fog
and passed within few yards OF her port bow.
This occurred about one hundred and forty
miles west of the Irish coast. on June %. The
fog thick. and light rain was falling. La
Champagne slowed her engines and was blow
ing her fog whistle at frequent intervals
About 10 a. m. the fog whistle OF another
steamship was heard but nothing could be seen
OF her. All at once she was sighted, coming ap-
parently head Accounts vary as TO the
distance between the two ships La Cham
pagne's officers say seventy five feet One Of
the few passengers who were on deck at the
time said ten yards, and that his heart was in
his throat for an instant, until he saw that the
vessels would clear each other. La Champagne
steaming due west and the other ship was
steaming slowly due east She proved to be
the British steamship Iona. from Montreal. June
13, for London. She passed out of sight in the
fog quickly she appeared. La Cham
pagne's officers assert positively that there was
no real danger OF collision. and that neither
the crew nor the passengers were unduly ex-
cited
The rest OF La Champagnes voyage was un-
eventful. She brought 249146 francs in specie.
She had on board 81 cabin and 2S2 steer
age passengers. Among the cabin passengers
were Professor Emile Picard a member OF the
French Institute, who Is making his first visit

AID TO GAIN LIBERTY - ONE


Two men. charged with brutal murder, were
locked up on Saturday night in one cell OF the
West Forty -seventh-st. police station In the
morning they were gone. The police put the
blame on the riclIety condition OF the prison.
They say that all the men bad to do to open
their cell door to lift II OFF it's hinges
That argument seems to prove their own care
lessness all the greater. People are asking II
the cell were in that condition. why place two
such dangerous prisoners there at all? Why
put both in one cell? Two men could lift an
iron door that would be too heavy for one man.
Why not have sent them to Police Headquarters?
II 1t were really necessary to put them in an in
secure CELL why not watch them with especial
vigilance?
The Tribune pointed out edItorialy only yes
terday the lmpertnence OF Tammany In de-
manding more policemen. This incident seems
TO prove that instead Of more policemen. other
policemen are needed; policemen who can at
least keep murderer after they get him.
The prisoners were the Tocci twins. Savenio
and Nicolo. whose arrest was related in The
Tribune yesterday. These men. who are Italian
laborers, were charged with stabbng to death
Christopher Kernan. a youth whom they as
saulted in the street on Saturday evening. He

Fire at Bronson

The little town of Bronson, nine.
teen miles east of here, is having
hard luck in the matter of fires. The
fourth one within year occurred
there early Sunday morning when
the general store of l.. f.. Collins X
Co, was burned.
At 3 o'clock Sunday morning one
of the ladies who works in the hotel
which is just across the street
from the burned buildings-awoke
aud saw what she at first thought
was someone going along with a
lantern. Wondering who could he
up at that time of night in Bronson
she got up to take better look when
she discovered tx at there was fire
in the 'front.' of Mr.. Collins store.
She Immediately gave the alarm
aud soon there was quite crowd
congregated around the burning
building, Nothing could be done,
however, as it vas an old frame
building and the efforts Of the crowd
were directed to saving the buildings
across the street. There was no wind
to speak of and by hard labor these
buildings were saved.
The origin of the fire is quite q
mystery but the general opinion
seems to be that it caught from n
lamp which was left burning in the
store. several times during the last
two years the firm has been robbed
and Of late they have been leaving a
light burning 80 as to give out the
impression that there was someone
sleeping i'm the store. Mr.. Collins
thinks, however, that the fire was
started by rats. The building was
an old one and for years has been in
tested By such Il great number of rat !
that it was impossible to eXtermiuate
them. Mr.. Collins thinks that they
got among the matches and gnawing
on them started the fire.
Both the building and stock were
heavily insured.

source of the Nile.

II would seem as though the true
source of the Nile had been at last dis
covered by German traveller. A letter
was lately received at Berlin from DR..
Il. Kandt, the central African explorer,
in which he gives an account of his
Journey to the source of the Nile. Hav-
ing ascertained, at the confluence of the
Ruvurn and Kangera rivers, that the
latter has a greater flow of water, DR..
kandt followed it upward as far as the
point where il is formed by the Nyay-
arongo and Akanynro. BY the same
method of measurement, he succeeded
in finding that the former was the main
stream. Marching, therefore, along the
Nyavarongo, he reached the point
where il is formed by the Rukavara,
which flows from the west, and the
Mhogo, flowing from the east, the form
or containing the largest volume of
water. He then followed the Rukavara
up stream to the mountains. On August
10, 1895, after a three-days' march, DIR.
Kaudt reached low cave on the slope
of Mount TsChuho, whence he found the
true source of the Nile issuing drop by
drop from its walls.-Baltimor News.

The Ten Commandments Of Apollo.

DIR. Wagner, of Philadelphia, emu
merates what he terms the ten COM
mandments of Apollo's handmaidens,
the nurses of the sick and injured. The
first commandment runs as follows:
Thou shalt keep myself at all times
clean, thy hands and thy finger nails
thereon; thy face and neck and the hair
of thy head; thy teeth and mouth, so
that the breath of thy nostrils shall be
sweet. The coverings of thy body shall
be plain and withal most clean. Thy
raiment shall be wrought of such stuffs
that dirt and stains may be presently
discovered and the raiment forthwith
changed for that which is pure. Thou
shalt remember at all times that filth
in the sight of Apollo is an abomina-
ton" The language, though quaint, is
good description of the latest teach
ings of antiseptic surgery as regards
cleanliness. A nurse once said TO DIR.
Joseph Bell, of Edinburgh, the origin of
Sherlock Holmes, that the patients
friends expected her to be "a iudicious
blending of an angel, a horse, and a
steam crane" No such extravagant de-
mands are made, however, by Dr. Wag-
oner's ten commandments.-Chicago

MAY BECOME PERMANENT.
ing Mustered VIII Be Incorporated
into the Regular Army.

Washington, July fat the war
department the pressure for commits
sions continues, although most of the
appointments for the volunteer regi-
ments ordered have been made. The
pressure is believed to be due to the
belief that eventually this provisional
force will become a part of the regu-
lar military establishment, and
that the tenure of officers now
appointed will be about as secure
as that of those who have
long been in the regular service. There
is no doubt that there will be need for
all the forces now authorized for long
time after the expiration of the limit
of time placed upon the enlistment of
the volunteers. Under the terms of
the existing law all of the officers
and troops are to be mustered out
July /, 1901, but it is believed that
before that time arrives the necessity
of extending the time win be APP
parent, or it is probable that congress
will simply incorporate the provision
al army as part of the regular mill
tary establishment. The provision for
the volunteers was made necessary on
account of the opposition in congress to
the permanent increase of the army es-
adjustment above the maximum basis
ofG7, 900. II is likely that this opposition
will be greatly diminished when the
question comes up with respect to the
permanent incorporation of the pro-
visional forces, by the fact that "A great
many men in congress win be inter
ested in retaining in the army officers
whose appointments they have secured.
The administration in appointing Off
GERS of volunteers for this service has
been liberal toward the democrats.

The discovery last summer of re-
markable asteroid, since named Eros,
which periodically approaches the
earth nearer than any other heavenly
body except The moon, has led Ger
man astronomer, Herr j. Banschinger,
to suggest that Mars itself should
hcnceforth be regarded as an asteroid
instead of as major planet. The com
parative smalness of Mars mass and
the great eccentricty of its orbit are
adduced as reasons for considering II
az member of the asteroid family. II
the asteroids once formed a single
planet as some have supposed then pos
sibly Mars is simply the largest exist
ing fragment of the ancient planet
which travelled an orbit lying between
the earth and Jupiter.-Youth's Com
