MANY BURIED M TUNNEL.
A Gang of Forty Workmen Are En-
tombed BY cave-ln.

NEW YORK. Oct. 1s.-Fifty tons of rock
caved in the Transit tunnel at 10th street
and Broadway today. carrying death TO
an undetermined number of the forty men
who were at work far below the surface
in the borough. The known dead are:
PETER O'HARA.
DANIEL KELLYHER.
LUIGI DAIHISE. ~
PATRICK MADDEN, foreman.
Foreman Madden was found pinioned
between pieces OF broken rock. only the
feet being clear of the mass Of debris.
Many of the other workmen were i'm
prisoned IN a small chamber Of the exca-
walton and, their fate will not be known
until the rescuers. who are digging to-
ward them. reach the point where they
are entombed
They are 600 feet south OF the great
shaft. at the intersection OF 18th street
and Broadway and 10 feet under ground.
II was. estimated by one OF the engineers
that there might be a cavern where the
men might be imprisoned.
The engineers decided that the only way
to get TO the cave-in was to remove the
rock which had fallen. II would necessi-
tate a small tunnel through the dirt, the
length of which could not be estimated
at that time.
The contractors. McCabe Brothers. are
unable to explain the disaster. They said
Il was the west side OF the tunnel work
that had collapsed and that Il had seemed
on inspection TO have consisted Of solid
rock and to have been very firm The
cave did not extend to the surface.

Miss Ellen NJ. Stone is seriously compro-
missed by the attitude of Consul Geenral
Dickinson in refusing to pay the ransoms

leaders of the Macedonian committee as

some freak Of Imagination a negro named

tract the attention of an attractive and
highly respected young lady at Piedmont,
near this city, and wrote her an insulting

the negro and placed him I'm the Jail here

Representation is Improved.

Birmingham Age-Herald.
 Like The Age-Herald, there are many men who think that the Senate of the United States should be based strictly on population. There are even some who think all representation should be based on votes cast, quite forgetting that the non-voter should be represented by some body. It is difficult to 0lange long stand ing customs. The Alabama Senate has never been based on population, and per haps never will be. Ideal representa- tion Is in other words considered imprac- ticable. It is impracticable even in the House of Representatives, for Winston and other small counties demand each a representative. and the demand has been acceded in the new as it was in the old constitution.
 All that can be said on the subject is that the new Is little better in this res pect than the old. Both houses have been increased by the new constitution and these increases fall as a rule to white counties, or at least they go to make representation more in accordance with population. There are to be thirty five Senators and 105 Representatives, and they are to be apportioned after each federal census according to popula- ton as nearly as may be practicable. If public sentiment demand in 1910 juster apportionment of Representatives than the State has or ever has had, 1t will be possible under the new constitution In other words, there will be better chance for equal representation under the new than there now is under the old. The gain is not great, but 1t Is in the proper direction on account of an increase in the size of the two houses.
 Some say, too, that a white man in the black belt has more political power than a white man in North Alabama. This is true, but it Is even truer Of af- fairs under the present constitution. For a white man in the black belt now has all the representation he desires, and he also has an opportunity to cast In dis reputable manner all the votes he feels 1 like casting. When the electorate IS con | fined practically speaking to the whites, | the voting will be upon the just basis | of the published registration. This IS a | great gain in favor of honesty, good gov | ernment and good morals.

The Work Goes Bravely On.

Louisville Courier Journal.
 The nomination of Josiah Quincy for Governor by the Democrats of Massa- chusetts, and the union of all shades of Democracy in the old Bay State. is of most excellent augury. It foreshad- ows a coming together everywhere, which must be if the Democratic party Is to have any show of electing q President in 1904. It Is, as 1t were, a wiping out of old scores among Democrats and beginning over again.
 There Is not now and there never has been any essential difference among Democrats as to original principles. 1t is easy to see in the light of the dis asters that have come upon us that there never should have been any division over the questions of currency and ratio; but, waiving the losses and crosses incident thereto, there ought to be throughout the Democratic rank and file from Maine to Texas, from New York to Nebraska, from Ohio, Illinois and Indiana to California and Oregon, but one word, and that word, "by-gones are by-gones." What the boys in the trenches want Is that their leaders shall turn their backs upon the past and their faces to the future and the enemy, moving forward with the restless tread of a mighty, compact column. He who would split hairs. or quibble about terms, Is a visionary, whom it were safe to dis regard. He who would make faces and call names is a marplot.
 We have had enough of crimination and recrimination among ourselves. Every son-of- f-a-gun among us has demonstrated his capacity to fight and to make trouble. Let these cumulative instincts be turned upon the common enemy a lick, or two, and see what comes of it!

First Illustration of a Policy.

New York Evening Post
 Of course, this Jones appointment Is not to be regarded as an isolated act, but rather as the first illustration of a policy which the President means to pur- sue in the South. MT. Roosevelt's pur- pose is to appoint only fit men to office in that section. as elsewhere Being Republican, he will naturally give the preference to representatives of his own party when 1t presents worthy cand- dates. but he knows that in many regions the Republican organization is so weak and disreputable that it cannot of fer a man fit to fill vacancy. In such cases MT. Roosevelt will insist upon find ing the right type of man. even if he is compelled, as in this Alabama instance, to take a Democrat. It will be an i'm mense gain for the Republican party to have such a principle established; and thus to escape responsibility for unfit ap- pointments made solely on partisan grounds.

 We sba,, not yield one jot or little of the pIinciples that we fought for during inc Civil War or abandon the idea that we were right and that the South was eternaIry and wickedly wrong.
 It is useless to waste much time or space on the frothings of a man Of this character, especially when he is a man who never heard a bullet whistle or a shell explode in battle. He Is the son of a man who fought. and like many others who don't know what they are talking about this young fellow delights to decIaim about '.what we fought for" The fighting that such as he do is usually done with the mouth. and the weapon with which they are most expert is the one with which Samson committed such havoc among the Philistines on a certain ocasion.

Uncle Sam wants horse doctors and cannot get them. There are not men enough up to the standard who are will ing to enter the government service. The Washington Star reports Chief Examiner A. R. Severn of the Civil Service Com mission as saying: Never in the his- tory of the United States Government has there been such a demand for veterinary surgeons of good standing and thorough experience as at present. Since the Standardization and the Boer wars it has been exceedingly difficult to get vet erinarians qualified to do the work of food and animal inspection for the Bureau of Animal Industry in the Agri- cultural Department. There is an excel lent opportunity for young men in this service of the government. The next general examination will be held on October 26. Other examinations will be held from time to time throughout the country ir the hope of satisfying the de- mand for capable veterinarians" The State of Alabama, We believe. provides A course of instruction in veterinary science at Auburn, and if twenty-five young men were to take this course every year all of them could find re- munerative employment

The people of Connecticut last Monday voted for the Constitutional Convention, the majority in favor of this somewhat radical step being something over 21,0OO. They also voted in favor of two specific constitutional amendments, deciding to elect State officers by a plurality vote instead of majority by the margin of 35, ,933, and in favor of an increase in Senatorial representation by majority of 27,012. This Is one of the greatest departures from settled ways that has ever taken place in Connecticut. Time and time again men who have received a large plurality of the votes have been turned down under the rule requiring a majority and the Legislature has elected the minority candidates. The conven- ton is called for the purpose of making changes in representation. Under the present constitution a little town of less than 800 population can have as many members of the Legislature as Hartford or New Haven. which each have 100000 population.

The establishment of new courts under the new Constitution will depend on population and assessable property and not the whims and wishes of interested parties. If population and business war rant the courts they can be established otherwise not. This is a great improve ment on the present Constitution, which makes it easy to establish new and some times useless courts.
