recess during the forenoon.
The day of final Adjournment broke
with the senate in executive session
disposing of large number of nomina.
tons. When the doors opened there
were seen but a handful of tired and
haggard-looliing senator's, who were
waiting for the final reports from the
eonferees on the two bills yet in dis.
pute. Finally Mr.. Hale appeared with
both. The deficiency bill was quickly
passed, and then came the final and
closing fight on the naval bill and tht

and the weary senator's took short
recess.
Upon reassembling the senate took
on II new appearance. The chamber
had been cleaned up and the senators
came back to tlle- closing meeting with
a more spruce appearance. Some few
attempts AT legislation were made, but
all were unsuccessful. Then the gal

ceremonies. They were not long per.

corridors, where they patiently waited
for the doors to be opened. When this
was done only five minutes remained
of the congress, but the hands of the
clock were turned back ten minutes tc
give time for the usual complimentary
resolutions and the address of the vice
president.
President Mckinley and his entire
cabinet came to the capitol, and were
in the presidents room, back of the
senate chamber. where the various
bills were hurried for signature. Fin,

received the presidents approval, and

4 Hand Writing Expert Has Changed His
Opinion.

Rennes, Aug. 20.-The balance of the
evidence to-day for change was in
favor of Drcyfus. Five witnesses Were
for him and two against him.
The most interesting testimony was
that of Chief Handwriting Expert
Chnrvay, who had come TO declare that
he had changed entirely his opinion,
which In 1894 was against, and now Is
In favor of Dreyfus. who he to day ar
tirmed was not the author of the bor-
1ercau. His candid confession of cr-

erect applause, in spite of Colonel Iou,

emnly added:

NINE MEN CRUSHED.
Great Steel Arches of Chicago Auditorium

Sreat Steel Arches of Chicago Auditorium

Chicago, Aug. 29.-Twelve steel
arches, each weighing thirty-three
tons. which were TO have supported the
superstructure of the Coliseum build
ing. in course of erection on wabash
avenue, fell TO the ground late yester-
day afternoon. 1t is known that nine
lives were crushed out. The bodies
Of two men are supposed to be under
the wreckage. Fourteen are In the
hospital with injuries received In the
accident, and of these four Will surely
die, ene may possible recover and the
others are for the greater part not SER
iously injured
All the twelve arches We're standing,
the twelfth and last having been com
rletcd to-day. ,o.sNvas the intention

used in the erection of the arches, had
been removed, and the agents of the
bridge company We're accounting their
work as practically completed when
suddenly, and without the least warn

llcnly fell over against the one next to
it. The weight was too much for this,
and 1t gave way. crashing against the
third. and one 10y one the great steel
spans fell over to the south. precisely
In the same manner as n number OF
cards would fall.
Nearly all the men who were killed
were mt work on top of the arches,
forty feet ab.7c the ground. Some OF
them made futile attempts TO slide
down the sides of the arches, but be-
fore they could help themselves they
were hurled to the ground. Many OF
them uttered piercing shrieks for aid
as they fell. Most of them We're killed
outright by She awful nature of their
injuries. The skulls of the unfor-
tunatc men We're crushed into shape
less masses, their limbs We're cut OF
as II by n monster knife. and they
were manglcd beyond recognition.
The immense structure began fall
ing slowly. each arch being sustained
by the cross-beams supporting the en-
tire structure. As the mass gained I'M
petus, the bars OF iron, inches thick,
snapped with n loud report, and the
great mass moved faster and faster
in its descent To the ground with
crash that was heard blocks away, the
structure fell. leaving the wall prac-
tically uninjured, and sending up great
clouds of dust and dirt.
