A GREAT DISASTER.
Many Lives Lost in g Tunnel Uu-
der Lake Erie.
A Temporary Crib a Few Miles from
Cleveland Is Destroyed by Fire
Abouta Do zen uen nre Hfurn-
ed TO Death or Drowned.

Cleveland, Aug. 15.-Five men were
burned to death, four were drowned,
end one sutfocated in a fire that de-
stroyed the temporary waterworlls
crib No. 2 early Wednesday morning.
Forty-two men were in the crib when
the building was set on fire by the
smokestack of one of the boilers,
which had become red hot.
Eleven of the men were at work in
the tunnel 1856 feet beneath the crib.
They were imprisoned four hours be-
fore aid could reach them. Only one
man succumbed to the suffocating
gases that filled their underground
prison. The rest were 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. X. Sprankle 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 wreckage.
The crib is a total loss. 1t was
frame building 20Ox50 feet, the sides
sheathed with iron. 1t contained
valuable machinery. The crib and
machinery were the property of Shai-
Ter q 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. 4
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. IN. johnson
and Kelly were pulled out half con-
scious a few minutes later and said
BurkhaTdt 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.

EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS.
They are Believed to Have Occurred
Last Week in Alaska.

Victoria, B. c., Aug. 12.-The seis-
mograph at the meteorological office
here on Friday recorded some very
severe shocks of earthquake, which
are believed to have occurred in Alas
ka, as the records are similar to
those made when the last earth
quake occurred in the north.
The preliminary tremors COM
menced at 1870 a. m. and continued
until 4:0S, the pendulum in this inter-
val recording several oscillations. At
5:15 another disturbance commenced,
which rapidly assumed immense pro-
portions, until, at 6:15 o'clock the
swing of the pendulum had complete
ly crossed the record paper and main
tanned this incessant movement for
20 minutes. At 10:40 a. m. fresh
vibrations began, which were very
pronounced for nearly an hour.

Fighting Near Panamn.

Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. 12.-Ac-
cording to advices received here from
Colon, there was series of engage
ments last week in the neighborhood
of Panama and the government ex-
periencing some difficulty in keeping
out the insurgents. Strict martial
law is enforced at Panama and Colon,
the present disLrlcts of insurgent ac-
tivity, and an order was issued last
week in both cities announcing that
all persons found under arms without
permit would be shot as traitors.
The same order called upon all for
eign residents to furnish themselves
with arms, so as to aid the police
whenever called upon.

A HORROR IN GEORGIA.
Negro WHO Had Assaulted n Woman
Is Burned at the Stake.

Savannah, Ca, Aug. 12.-Eighteen
miles south of Savannah, near the
Seaboard Air Line railway, the
charred trunk of the body of Joe
Washington, the negro ravisher Of
Mrs. j. j. Clark, is all that remains
to tell the story of tragedy Satur-
day night. Washington was captured
at Liberty City and was brought to
Way Station, near which place his
crime was committed. He was car
ried before Mrs. Clark, who identified
him positively as the negro who as
saulted her.
hTe negro's positive Identification
by his victim sealed his fate. mob
of 400 men clamored for his life, but
the leaders of the mob, numbering
less than dozen, burned him at the
stake. The rest of the mob was kept
at distance and was not permitted
to come within 100 yards of the place
where Washington met his death.
This was at a spot a few feet from
the railway track and not 500 yards
from the house in which the ravisher
committed the crime for which he
paid so dreadful a penalty. He
walked to his death without Il tremor
and met it without prayer or an APP
peal for mercy

A DARING CRIME.
A Lone Highwayman Holds UP n
Stage Coach Near North River, N. ".

Glens Falls, y. Y, Aug. 15.-News
was received here last night that the
Blue Mountain stage was held up by
a robber at noon Wednesday at North
River.
The stage which was stopped con-
meets with a train which reached
North Creek, Warren county, at 1920
a. IN. When it left the station it
contained seven men and one wo-
man.
When the stage was one and one
half miles north of Dunlap's hotel, at
North River, a masked robber sud
denly appeared. His first move was
to shoot one of the horses. lie then
ordered the passengers to hold up
their hands and alight. Six of the
men Immediately took to the woods,
the remaining man staying with his
wife, who was relieved of $40, but
the robber failed TO find larger SUN
in another pocket.
The highwayman then proceeded to
rife the mail bags and plunder the
express packages, taking ev, vything
of value. After he had d-ne his
work he disappeared into the woods
and searching parties have been un-
able to find any trace of him.

MARYLAND'S MAIN ISSUE.
To Disfranchise All COIored Voters
Who Vote tise Republican
Ticket.

''We declare again." said the demo-
cratic national convention in its Kan
sas City platform, that all govern
ments instituted among men derive
their just powers from the consent
of the governed; that any govern
1aent not based upon the consent of
the governed is a tyranny" This was
the paramount issue, and the demo-
Gratis of Maryland make IL still Is para
mount issue, but with IN exact reversal
of partisan position that would bewil-
der and stun any foreign gentleman
VINO was trying to get a line on Amer
lean politics.
They say that peace, good order,
their personal safety, the proper de-
velopment Of their material interests
depend upon the control of the COM
monwealth by its intelligent white
residents" that they have 10000 ma
jority of the white people Of the state,
that the. republican party would be in
a hopeless minority without the aid
of it's 10000 colored voters, and so are
driven by their irresistible logic to the
following declaration:
I'VE therefore, without hesitation, pro-
claim that the success of the democratic
party will mean that, while we shall deal
with perfect fairness in securing all the
benefits of good government and full and
free opportunities for education to all
classes, such action must be taken as to
prevent the control of the state govern
ment from passing into the hands of those
who have neither the ability nor the inter-
est to manage public affairs wisely and
we'll"
Consent of the governed" vanishes
completely at this touch. Govern
ment or control is distinctly claimed
as the prerogative of intelligent
whites. All other people should take
orders from these superior beings,
but apparently it is virtue to have
a white majority, whether it is intelli-
gent or not, and the prerogative is
modified somewhat with a benevo-
lence toward all whites.
The main idea is to disfranchise Co..
600 colored citizens because most of
them vote the republican ticket. They
are to have government decreed for
them without any thought of their
content, and are to be forced to sub
nit to what the national platform
calls tyranny.
Possibly the negroes, like the Fill
pinos, cannot" in the language of
that pronunciamento, "be citizens
without endangering our civilization,"
but it follows also from the same au-
thority that tney cannot be subjects
without imperiling our form of gov
eminent" The dilemma does not
help the democrats of Maryland.
Nor does reference to the cons titu-
tion help them, any more than to the
Declaration, because it is plain that
while they talk of intelligence they
are really discriminating against col
or. They eyade the great charter
which the Kansas City resolutions APP
prove-Chicago Record Herald.

BOGUS RAILROAD TICKETS.
Big Stock of fCounterfeits Found in the
Office Of IA st. Louis Firm.

st. Louis, Aug. 15.-As the result of
the arrest yesterday of William Clin-
ton and Charles j. Leonard, ticket
brokers, charged with swindling
customer, a gigantic railroad ticket
counterfeiting scheme was uncov-
cred. After the arrest of the bro
kers their office was ransacked and
an immense number of tickets and
passes was found.
1t is almost impossible to place an
estimate on the value of the tickets
recovered, but it is stated by railroad
authorities that $4,000 would be
conservative figure. 1t is asserted
that many of the tickets and passes
were forgeries. The Baltimore &
Ohio. Missouri Pacinc and st. Louis &
San Francisco lines are said to be the
ones which should have the most in
terest in the discoveries made,
though tickets were found in the
stock from many roads.

HOW ABOUT BRYANISM?
The Time to Write the Obituary, 1t
Seems Has Not Yet
Arrived

Are the ingenious gentlemen, dem
ocrats and republicans, who are say
ing that Bryanism is dead, absolutely
sure of their ground? Ohio recently
rejected Bryan personally by refusing
to indorse him or his platforms of
1896 and 1900, but it adopted a plat
form which in many particulars was
equally as bad as anything which he
ever favored. Several other states in
their democratic conventions are ex-
pected to deny recognition to the Ne
braskan. There are great whoops of
Joy from the democratic reorganizers
all over the country at what they are
calling the death of Bryanism, but
are they sane or sincere in all this?
There is strong probability that
in the states west of the Mississippi
there is a powerful sentiment still in
favor of Bryan. Missouri has many
Bryanites. Probably the Bryanite sec
tion of the democracy in this state,
in Kansas, in Nebraska and in most
of the other commonwealths between
here and the Pacific is dominant in
that party. There are reorganizers in
the democratic party in Missouri. but
they are confined to st. Louis, Kan
sas City and st. Joseph. In the rural
districts they cannot be found.
Omaha may have many of them
among its democratic element, but in
the rest of that state they are likely
to be scarce. The same is true as re-
CARDS the cities and the farming re-
gions of the rest of the trans-Missis-
sippi states.
Then, too, if the democracy rejects
Bryan in 1904, as it probably will, it
will still be under the necessity of
framing a radical platform. 1t cam
not make a conservative deliverance,
for that would be an imitation of the
republican creed, and IT, people do
not like limitations in po.itics. The
democracy will be forced to combat
the republican party on many lines,
and this necessity will compel it to
put forward many follies and absurd
tiles which will be as bad as Bryan
ism, and some of them will probably
have to be taken from the Bryan
platforms. Moreover, Bryan himself
is going to stay in politics, as he has
frequently informed the country, and
he still has a spell over the minds of
many of the 6,5G0,000 of men who
voted for him in two successive cam
vases. The time to write the obitu-
airy of Organism will not, at the ear
liest, come before the evening of No
vember s, 1904.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat.

THE CUP HUNTER ARRIVES.
Sir Thomas Lipton's Yacht Shamrock
III. Comes TO New York 10 Race fol
the AmerIca,s Cup.

Sandy Hook, n. j., Aug. 12-Sham-
rock H., Sir Thomas Lipton's second
challenger for Americas cup, in tow
arrived off Sandy Hook lightship
shortly after II o'clock last night and
anchored for the night just inside
the lightship half an hour later. A
newspaper tug and the tugboat James
X. Lawrence with David Barrie, Sir
Thomas representative in this coun-
try aboard, had been cruising off
Sandy Hook for two days awaiting
the appearance of the foreign cup
hunter.
When off the lightship the Erin
burned her signals, green and red
with a green star, and the tugs ran
alongside. Greetings on both sides
were hearty, but beyond saying that
the yacht had encountered fine wealth
er, neither Capt. Matthews, of the
Erin, nor Capt. Sycamore, of the chal-
lenger, would give details of the trip.
That they regarded it as n fine per-
formance was evident from Capt.
Matthews ejaculation of surprise
when informed that the tugs had
been on the lookout for her for two
days. "Give her a chance" he shout
ed.
AS matter of fact the actual time
Of the Shamrock II. is less than IA
days, counting her stop of one day at
st. Michaels, Azores, day better
than the old Shamrock, which was far
and away better than that of any for
mer challenger. Capt. Matthews first
inquiry after the greeting was of the
cnallenger's opponent, Constitution,
and when he learned that she had
beaten Columbia on Saturday, he ex-
pressed his pleasure and then regret
when he was informed of Columbia's
accident in the race.
The Shamrock III. carries the jury
mast of the old Shamrock, but her
topmast is Is feet shorter, so that the
distance from deck to truck is prob
ably not over 90 feet. She will be
towed in to-day by the tug Robert
Hadden, the first tug to speak her,
under instructions from Sir Thomas
before she left to accept the first
tow offered. After passing quaran-
tine she will be towed to the man-of-
war anchorage off TomplIinsville and
later to the Erie basin. where she will
be stripped and her mast stepped,
preparatory to going into dry dock.

THEY ARE CHANGING.
signs of n Shift in the Democracy on
the Expansion Cues
tiOn.

Is the democratic party preparing
TO change front on the expansion
question? The signs of the times in
dicate that it is. Editorials in dem
cratic newspapers and incidental re-
marks by party leaders all point that
way. 1t is true the Ohio democratic
convention, in repudiating Bryan and
Organism, declared against the an
neXation or retention of territorie S
that imperil our national safety
without promoting our national well
fare" and announced that the demo-
cratic party always has opposed and
opposes now any expansion of the ma
tional boundaries not meant to carry
specify to all inha bitants full equal
righta with ourselves. But it was APP
parent week after the convention
that this guarded statement of policy
was not to be accepted by party lead
ers in other states.
A newspaper supposed to speak for
the democratic party in Illinois says
that democratic reluctance to deal
courageously with the question of ex-
pansion is due to the fact that the
party is in opposition; that if demo-
Gratis were in power in Washington
they would have a policy in regard
to newly-acquired American terri
tories which would be in harmony
with the practice of the party in the
past; that, as the case stands, demo-
Gratis have fallen under the influence
Of a respectable but undemocratic ele-
ment which is of the same caliber as
the class which during the GO years
of democratic supremacy resisted ev-
cry stride which the republic made
toward its natural and inevitable de-
ve.opment."
Just so. That is what republican
leaders said in 1898 and in 1899. Roose-
welt said very much the same thing in
1900. Democrats who voted for Nc
Kinley on "the paramount issue" last
year insisted that expansion was not
a party question, but an American
question. And yet 100000 democrats
voted against the traditional demo-
cratic policy, simply, as the party or
gan now explains, to be in opposition.
But the organ goes further and IN
sists. that the democratic party shall
announce an expansion doctrine which
"they will not find in the walls of the
ancient federalists nor in the emotion
al cries of the anti-imperialists of this
day." but in the ordinance of 1857. OF
this it is said: "It is an interesting
fact that the government of the north
west territory, which sufficed for thou
sands of Americans for many years,
was as arbitrary a any which has been
established of late in the new posses
sions of the United States.'
Two years ago such statements were
common in republican newspapers.
Now they are appearing in the stand
ard democratic newspapers. If they
mean anything they mean that the
democratic party is endeavoring to
execute that most difficult of maneu-
vers, change of front in the presence
of the enemy. They mean that the
anti-expansion movement of this day
has failed as utterly a. did those of
the past.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

DISGUSTED WITH FREE TRADE
The Protection Policy Is Coming In
to Favor with English
Journals.

The economic policy of free trade,
which in this country has found its
apologist in the democratic party, has
been fought off in the United States
by the arguments of facts and by
the facts of ballots. Great Britain
has been the standing illustration
used by free traders, but Great Brit
ain is getting the tired feeling over
that once-vaunted policy. So con-
spicuous journal as the London
Daily Express openly declares for pro-
lection, and presents arguments
therefor which will be particularly
interesting to Americans because,
when presented by the republican
party, they have been accepted as the
basis for the protective policy of the
United States. The London Express
says:
The protective policy is worthy of sup
port:
l. Because there is no such thing as free
trade, and other nations refuse to admit
our merchandise free into their markets.
2. Because, under the aegis of protection,
other nations have developed industries
which would not have been developed. or
not to such an extent, had they granted
free admission to foreign manufactures.
g. Because by so doing these other ma
tions have become wealthy and self-sup-
porting communities.
A. Because England's industrial suprem-
acy has vanished and her prosperity is
gravely threatened under her free import
system and under the attacks of protec-
Zionist nations, which attacks must be
met by counter attacks.
5. Because economic self-containment
T1l Tti p a I'll In pf
is a necessity to the well-being of any ma
ton, and in this country can only be Sc
cured by a return to protection.
g. Because the experience of other ma
tions shows that manufacturing greatness
and big foreign trade are not incompati-
BILE with protection. even to agriculture.
z. Because the national revenue can best
be raised from import duties.
8. Because a customs union will, as moth
Ing else will, draw the empire together and
promote the mutual prosperity and loyal
cohesion of its component parts.
Those who remember the great
tariff debate between Blaine and
Gladstone will observe with special
interest the signs that the country
OF Gladstone is beginning to approve
tho policy of the party of Blaine.
Every such indication is Il renewed
tribute to the wisdom of American
institutions as conducted by the re-
publican party and an added condem-
nation of the suicidal policy which the
democratic party would have fast
ened upon this country.-Troy Times
