over the Festivities.

Paris, Aug. ia second serious acct
dent has happened at the exposition. 1t
occurred upon the occasion of the most
successful fete given, casting deep
gloom over the city. 1t had been decided
to give night fete BETTING the day,
when the prizes were distributed, and con
sequently all the bundlngs were brilliant
ly Illuminated. All the Paris exposition
was crowded, including the bridges join
ing one part with the other, and ii was
ON one Of these wooden structures, that
joining the Invalides to the Italian pa
vilion, that the accident occurred.
1t was rumored at first that the bridge
had fallen, but il was found that this was
not absolutely correct, as only the hand
rail ON one side had given way under the
following circumstances:
Just before IL o'clock some one passing
over from the direction of the Champs
de Mars, shouted: lit creaks,' and al
though ,Aere was no justification for the
cry 1t was repeated by the crowd, causing
a panic. Through the pressure of the
crowd ON the lnvaEdes side, 30 persons
were precipitated to the roadway, three
yards below. Two of these were Nued.
Most of the victims were women.
Inc minister Of commerce, NJ. Millerand,

President McI[inley's Plan.

New York, Aug. 2l.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
President Mckinley is considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of proposing to the powers
the organization OF an international CON
gress which shall sit in China and recon-
mend to the several governments repre-
scented permanent solution of pending
questions.
The president recognizes the fact that
the duties United States Minister Con
ger would be called upon to perform
would be so eXacting and arduous that it
would be unfair to ask him to take the
additional burden of discussing a method
of settlement of the matters in contro-
versy; that Special Commissioner Rock
hill will be too busily employed in OBJ
tanning information and III communica-
ton with high Chinese officials TO give
time to them, and that direct negotia-
tons between the powers is likely to
prove unsatisfactory and give rise to com
plica tions which might otherwise be
avoided.
Talks with diplomats here indicate that
their governments would be willing to
Join in d congress for settlement OF the
Chinese question, and the German charge
d affaires, baron Won Sternberg, has been
suggested as the representative of Ger
many.
