SOME PLAIN TALK.
Gov. Mc>we"ney Gives Opinion OF the
DinniDg lncitiont.

Many have been heard in tho last

approval Of the course Of President

table. Saturday at the requost Of
tho correspondent Of a New York
newspaper Gov. McSweenoy express
ed his views Of the incident az fol-
lows:
"ln South Carolina no mon would

with his family. do not think that
this action reflects any credit upon
President Roosevelt or his judg
ment. ! have mover read anything
in my life that made mo feel 30

"The southern people are now and
have boon tho friends Of tho negro
race and especially of snch men az
Booker ~. Washington, but they do
not approve and cannot afford to
recognize social equality.
I'll have II full appreciation of the
work of Booker II. Washington, but
1t does the negro race harm to get
the impression that they cnn secure
such social recognition as Washing
ton did at the hands Of the proai
dent.
"From all that can understand
Washington himself does not approve
Of snch things and he is constantly
emphasizing the point that his race
should not be ambitious for social
equality but that it should work and
use the toothbrush and bathtnh'

President Roosevelt did not have q

TUNNEL CAVES IN.
Passengers on the Pennsylvania Line
Have Narrow Escape from
Death ut Baltimore

Baltimore, Nd, July The roof
of the Union railroad tunnel in the
eastern section Of the city, used and
controlled by the Pennsylvania RAIL
road company, caved ia shortly be-
fore two o'clock Saturday morning.
1t is supposed that a defect in the
arch of the tunnel caused the acct
dent
\ narrow escape from death or
serious injury was experienced by
the passengers and crew of an ex-
press train, which was caught by the
falling debris in the tunnel.
The train was the regular north
bound express which leaves Union
station at los o'clock in the morning,
consisting of three baggage and ex-
press cars and three passenger
coaches. As far as can be learned
the avalanche of earth and rocks
caught the rear express car which
was Immediately in front of the pas
senger cars. The train was not run
ming at high rate of speed, and the
jar was not severe. The engineer
quickly brought his train to a full
stop, and word was sent from sig
nal tower to Union station. A yard
engine was sent into the tunnel and
the th-nly-flled passenger coaches
were drawn back to Union station
without the occupants being aware
of the danger through which they
had passed. The houses on each side
seem perilously close to the brink,
and should any further cave-in occur
they must be precipitated into the

the matter might assume Importance

no doubt that the state department

THE MARQUAND FAILURE.
Expert Accountant Attempting to
Ascertain Extent of LiabiIi-

New York, July IAN expert ac-
countant was AT work Saturday on the
books Of Henry Marquand & Co, for
the purpose of finding out the extent
of their liabilities and assets. Frank
Sullivan Smith, the receiver, said that
in all probability no schedule could be
filed or any statement made for sew
eral days yet.
Mr.. Smith declined TO make an es-
innate of the assets and liabilities Of
the firm, saying that he was not yet
in a position to do so. When asked in
regard to a report to the effect that
the liabilities would reach SS,00O,0O0,
he said that he did not believe they
would come anywhere near such fig
ure.
AS far as the loans of the firm are
concerned" said Mr.. Smith, the cred
itors are protected by the best kind of
securities. The securities of the firm
on these accounts are much better than
L expected. They could all be realized
on without loss tomorrow, should the
creditors desire"
''Will the firm be able to pay dollar
for dollar?' Mr.. Smith was asked.
II cannot say that" was the reply.
"While the securities of the firm are
splendid, | do not yet know how the
firms account with the stock exchange
stands. We have not come to that
