1t is estimated by engineers on the Rapid

ployed, according to present plans, the construc-
tion OF the tunnel would take half century.
This would be more than ten times longer than
the period in which the chief contractor, John

last evening and attended the opening service of
the Ragged Church. religious service to be held

FRENCH SOCIALISTS FALL OUT.
STORMY SESSIONS IN PARIS HALL WIND UP
WITH UPRoAR- AND SECESSION.

STORMY SESSIONS IN A PARIS HALL WIND UP
WITH UPRoAR AND SECESSION.
Paris, Sept. 30-The stormy and sometimes
amusing proceedings of the Congress Of French
Socialists eliminated at this mornings session
in uproar and general confusion. The Congress
first met two days ago, at the conclusion of the
International Congress of Socialists, and the
meetings had been devoted to interminable dis
cussions on the subject OF" the constitution of
the Congress- the Guesdists, Blanquists and
Communists, who were in alliance, reproaching
the independents with having violated the con-
stitution by wrongful vote.
This charge served as an excuse for intro
dpcing all sorts of side questions provocative OF
heated arguments, which, soon degenerated into
threats and abuse. .ia
This morning it was evident that the dele
gates had slept but little over night They were
nervous and aggressive, and the gathering soon
became pandemonium, in the course of which
the rival camps hurled insults at each other.
NJ Bagnol was accused by NJ. Andrieux of hav-
ing sold himself to the other party. He dashed
TIN ough the ranks of his supporters and struck
his accuser on the head. When they had been
separated It was found that M. Andrieux had
been scratched on the hand, whereupon the
Guesdists shouted "Assassins!' bounded to their
feet and left the Sale Wagram in a body. NJ.
Guesde crying, I'VE have no longer anything in
common with murderers!
The secessionists, representing more than a
noon in the Sale Vantier, formed a Congress Of
their own and adopted resolutions condemning
the Wagram Socialists and favorable TO the
Ministerialsts.
