A GREAT DISASTER.
Many Lives Lost in Tunnel Uu-
der Lake Erie.
A Temporary Crib n Few Miles from
Cleveland Is Destroyed by Fire
Abouta Dozen lien are Burn
ed TO Death or Drowned.

Cleveland, Aug. 15.-Five men were
| burned to death, four were drowned,
and one suffocated in fire that de-
stroyed the temporary waterworks
crib No. Q early Wednesday morning.
| Forty-two men were in the crib when
! the building was set on fire by the
smoltestack of one of the boilers,
| which had become red hot.
Eleven of the men were at work in
the tunnel 1876 feet beneath the crib.
They We're imprisoned four hours be-
fore aid could reach them. Only one
| man succumbed to the suffocating
gases that filed their underground
prison. The rest We're taken out just
alive and resuscitated.
Five men were suffocated in their
hunks by smoke and their bodies
burned to an unrecognizable mass.
Twenty-six men obeyed the orders
of Manager Van Deusen and took
refuge in the water on floating pieces
of wreckage. Four of them lost their
hold upon their frail floats and sank
beneath the waves just as help
reached their comrades.
The tug j. II. Spranllle heard the
fire whistle blown from the crib and
raced to the scene from the harbor.
She picked up IS of the survivors.
who had drifted to the west of the
crib on boards and wTeckage.
The crib is total loss. 1t was a
frame building 2OOX50 feet, the sides
sheathed with iron. 1t contained
valuable machinery. The crib md
machinery were the property of Shai-
Ter & Schninglau, contractors. Their
loss will exceed 100000. The burn,
ing of the crib will delay indefinitely
the completion of the waterworks
tunnel.
One of the rescuers lost his life in
his efforts to rescue his friends in the
tunnel late Wednesday afternoon. a
party from No. 3 crib. made up of Ed
johnson, C.. Burkhardt, Plummer
Jones and David Kelly, went down
into the tunnel at 3 p. m. Johnson
and Kelly we're pulled out half con-
scious few minutes later and said
Burkhardt and Jones were overcome.
James Williams went down for the
two missing rescuers. He got Burk-
hardt out, but Jones was dead. Over
come by the gas, he fell into the
water at the bottom of the tunnel
and was drowned.
Cleveland, Aug 2O.-Two men, Adam
Kest and John Eugine, who have been
in the tunnel ever since the fatal fire
at crib No. Q, were taken out alive at
2:S0 o'clock Monday afternoon. They
were brought ashore in the tug Cham
berlain and taken to hospital.
The men had undergone terrible
experience. Since last Tuesday they
have been imprisoned in the tunnel
with nothing to eat and with foul air
to breathe. They were terribly enact
ated, and it is miracle that they
were brought to the surface alive.

THE AGREEMENT WITH CHINA.

When it is said that it took from Aug.
IA. 1900, the date of the occupation Of
Picking, to Aug. IL, 1901, to regulate the re-
lations between the Powers and China,
those who are not familiar with the delay
that characterized diplomacy during hun
dreds of years will say that it has been a
waste of time. Nevertheless, a British
minister in the House of Commons a few
days ago declared that the result is speedy
and satisfactory. At the outset it was
feared the Chinese, who are easily mas
tiers of the art of prolonging diplomacy,
would prevent an early settlement of the
perplexing question. This, however, has
not come true; the differences which caused
delay came from questions which presented
ing dilatory in reply, China was prompt,
doubtless because it's rulers are eager to
have the Powers out of their country.
The topics which came before the repre-
sentatives of the Powers at Picking present.

be settled was to agree upon the terms of
the collective notes which should specify
the reparation the outraged nations should
demand of China 1t took the Powers all
Of August and September TO agree upon
the terms Of indemnity. Each representa-
tive had to confer with his government,
and. as the discussion progressed, new
propositions had to be referred back. Chi
ma acquiesced in the collective note in
less than a months time. Then came the
question OF the amount of the indemnity,
which engrossed the attention of the Pow
ers from January TO June. These were the
leading topics for settlement; still, the
question Of the tariff which should be i'm
posed upon all merchandise imported into
China had TO be considered. There were
also side issues. such as the occupation OF
Manchuria by the Russians, to embarrass
and delay negotiation.
The result of the conference can now be
definitely stated. The ACKNOWLEDGMENT and

PUBLICITY As a REMEDY FOR
TRUSTS.

Some points in the report OF Professor
jerks concerning industrial combinations
or trusts in Europe are worthy of notice.
Professor jerks was sent to Europe by
the United States Industrial Commission
as an expert on this subject. He reports
that in every country that nc visited he
found a growing tendency toward combina-
tons of capital. with comparatively little
popular objection thereto. The prevalent
opinion seemed to be that the movement
was a natural outgrowth of modern in
dustrial conditions. and that the most that
should be attempted was to prevent it from
being used to the detriment of the public.
The following points in the report are en-
| phasized:
F~ourth-The great degree of publicity in
the organization of corporations has large
ly prevented the evils arising from stock
watering. and has evidently had much ef-
feet In keeping prices steady and reason
able. and in keeping wages steady and just.
toward the passage Of laws which shall
attempt TO kill the combinations That is
believed to be impossible and unwise- Laws
should attempt only to control, and that is
apparently chiefly through publicity,
though the governments may be given re-
From this it appears that the govern
ments and peoples of Europe are consider
ing the trust question more nationally than
we are in this country. AS industrial COM
binations. they should unquestionably be
considered from a commercial point of
view, not from a political, and as it is i'm
| possible to abolish them the question is
how to control them. According to Pro-
| lessor Jenks, the best preventive of their
abuse yet discovered in Europe is pub
licity. Intelligent opinion in this country
is tending toward the same conclusion.
Hon. Nj. E. Ingalls,, in a paper published
a few days ago in the Journal. said:
Publicity and taxation. all agree. is one
way of controlling and keeping the trusts
within the limits. Let the full light of day
be turned on all their actions, all their
statements and all their accounts, and pro-
vide either by a franchise or license tax
that they shall pay their fair share of the
burdens of the people.
There is not much trouble In enforcing
taxation Of the trusts. and publicity could
easily be provided for. There ought to be
regular, full. open and accurate reports
from trusts on legal forms, sworn to by
their officers. Popular ignorance of their
profits is a great secret Of the trusts
occasional ability to charge undue prices.
Publicity would attract competition and
prevent other serious abuses of the pres
ent system. OF all the remedies proposed
for the trust evil, short of total abolition,
full and complete publicity is probably the
most practical and would be the most
| effective.

POLITICAL SENSATION.
Cecil q Alleged to Have Pur-
chased Liberal Support.

LONDON, Aug. 17.-An anonymous letter
TO the Spectator recently declared that
Cecil Rhodes, by a contribution of $4,000
to the funds of the party, had induced the
Liberals TO abandon their policy as to
Egypt which favors evacuation. There
upon the Spectator insinuated that this ar
rangement explains the tenderness which
the Liberals displayed toward Mr.. Rhodes
on inquiry as TO the Jameson raid. Sir
Henry Campben-Bannerman, on behalf of
himself and Sir William Vernon-Harcourt,
declared the story "a lie from beginning to
end"
To-day Mr.. Rhodes writes to the Specta-
tor promising 10 get the correspondence on
the subject from Africa and to publish IL,
adding that the correspondence speaks for
ITSELF"
The anonymous correspondent also re-
veals himself as Charles Boyd, who. ac-
cording TO the Daily News, is a journalist
having confidential relations with the Brit
ish South Africa Chartered Company.
From the Comment of the Liberal pa
pers, 1t now appears conclusive that the
late Mr.. Schnadhorst, the Liberal organ
izer, accepted $4,000 from Mr.. Rhodes. The
Spectator itself repudiates this version and
charges the Liberal party with accepting
a bride.
The Daily Graphic, in the course of an
Spectator and Sir Henry Campbell-Ban-
herman have been over hasty; that the
transaction appears perfectly legitimate.
and that ii would be well if all transactions
with regard TO party funds was as innO-
cent and straightforward.
