The crash came. The golden angel,
16 feet high, which had stood for cen
turtles on the pinnacle, lay broken
mass at the central porch of ST. Mark.
The bronze statues, Minerva, Mercury,
Apollo and Peace, were shattered, but,
save for the loss of two fingers, can be
restored.

While two priceless pictures by the
old masters were ruined, Titian's

saved. One bronze gate is twist
ed out of shape, the others are unin-
jured, also some marble tablets. Four
of the five bells were broken, but the
largest, the Marangona, was spared.
The peals of the Marangona governed
the very life Of the Venetians-eyen

turn for the services of carrier pigeons

fall they could scarcely be coaxed
back.
No wonder the populace rose and
cried for vengeance. Venice is ours

fall, had it been in danger-once in
the seventeenth century by lightning
(repairs were neglected), again in the
great upheaval of 1s4S which shook
every throne in Europe. The Vene-
tians bore the SCATTERING of their pail
aces, but when the artillery threat

pitulated. Even the Austrian seldiery
were awed by the sight OF so much
architectural beauty-to their credit

The church of ST. Mark is the most
glorious church in the world. Its ex-

those who had seen, those who had
hoped to see, felt for the moment as if
the world were bare-as'if the proph-
ecy of Byron were coming true:
when falls the Campanile, Venice falls;
When Venice falls. the world
If thunderbolt had riven it-had
laid it in a shapeless mass upon the
earth, men would have stilled their
heart-beats and said, God willed it.
Oh, the pity of it! Ignorance and greed
did it. For seven years stone-mason,
a man of sense, who knew his business.
a man who loved the Campanile, as if
it were living thing, implored his SUI
periors to strengthen it within and
without; otherwise, it would surely
fall. At first they laughed at him
they chaffed him, then grew angry at
his persistency. To be rid of him they
would have transferred him to Sar-
DINA. He would not go. They dis
missed him. He could endure hunger
and poverty. "When Venetians don't
see the belfry tower of ST Mark, they
die" was his pathetic answer.
The swinging of the bells, the
crashing of the artillery at the
arsenal went on as if death were
not in the air. The cracks wild
ened above, widened below-could
be seen by the naked eye. Can one
believe it? One custodian dwelt with
in the walls of the Campanile-
dragged out stones to increase the
size of his kitchen! His superiors
knew it-ignored it.
The fools laughed on. Saturday

Campanile, but of the people, forbade

their wont, on Sunday evenings. The

COMMISSION MEETS TODAY
READY TO HEAR STATEMENTS IN
COAL TROUBLE.
Representatives OF COnte"ding Parties
Already in ScrantOn-ERCh Side VIII
Have an Array of AttOrneys-Two
Weeks May be Occupied In Hearing
All the Witnesses

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 13.-All the MEM
bers of the anthracite strike commits
sion are now here and in readiness to
begin the hearing of the differences ex-
isting between the miners and their en-
ployers. The sessions of the commits
sion will begin tomorrow morning at 10
O'Clock in the Lackawanna county court
house. The commissioners will use the
room occupied by the state superior
court, which is admirably adapted to
the purpose. Two sessions will be held
each day.
Most of the representatives of the
contending parties are also on the
ground. Each side will have an array
of attorneys and 1t is expected that
at least two weeks will be taken up in
hearing the witnesses on each side.
President Mitchell, representing the
miners, will probably open the proceed
ings with a formal statement in which
he will present the case of the miners
to the commission. 1t is understood his
statement is rather long and that it will
take him fully an hour to deliver 1t. Fol-
lowing this formal presentation of the
miners side of the issue, it is under
stood Mr.. Mitchell will call witnesses
who will be examined by his attorneys,
by those representing the coal compan-
les and also by the commissioners. Most
Of the witnesses will be practical min
ers and they will give testimony in sup
port Of the demands formally fafd be-
fore the commission in Mr.. Mitchells
preliminary statement of last week.
About twenty-five or thirty miners will
take the witness stand.
Attorney c. S. Darrow and Henry d.
Lloyd, both of Chicago, will make ad-
dresses on behalf of the miners later
in the proceedings, after which the OPP
orators will make their defence.
1t is the intention of the commission
to adhere as closely to ordinary court
procedure in pursuing its investigation
as it possibly can. 1t will, however,
not unnecessarily restrict either side in
presenting evidence, it being the desire
of the commissioners that both sides
shall be thoroughly satisfied with the
pres ntation OF its case. In the evil
dence to be given to the commission
will be great masses of statistics which
are being prepared by hundreds of
clerks of the companies. The miners
will hand up bundles OF due bills. is

FRANCE LACKED THE MONEY.
| Cause of the Resembling of the Order
for Three New BattIeshIps.

Paris, Nov. 13-Replying to an inter-
pellation in the chamber of deputies
to-day concerning the countermanding
of orders for the construction of three
French battleships, the contracts for
which had been signed by his prede-
cessor in office, Minister of Marine Pol
lotan explained that he had been
obliged to take this step because. on
assuming office, he had found that the
naval contracts in force exceeded the
appropriations by S5,0O0,OO0. Instead
of asking for supplementary credits
he preferred temporarily to postpone
those expenses not absolutely neces-
sary.
After lengthy and heated debate
the chamber adopted, by S31 to ia, an
order of the day expressing confidence
in the intention of the government to
conciliate the interests of national de-
fense with the present financial re-
sources of the republic and referring
the matter to the budget commission
to find ways and means necessary to
realize the execution of the naval pro-
gramme.

GOMPERS SOUNDS WARNING.
Future of Labor Endangered by Local
Trouble,

New Orleans, La, Nov. 13.-President
Samuel Gompers, at the opening of the
American Federation of Labor to-day,
delivered an impassioned warning to
the members of the organization that
the immediate future of trade and labor
assemblies was seriously endangered
by the conflicting claims of Jurisdiction
made by different bodies. Unless such
things were approached in calmness
and handled with moderation he de-
clared that the labor organizations Of
the country soon would be involved in
conflict which by comparison would
dwarf all the struggles in which labor
organizations have been engaged thus
far. The matter unless checked, he as
serted, would come to point where la
boring men would fight with laboring
men from behind barricades In the
manner in which men deal with their
mortal foes. His warnings Of danger
and his counsels of peace and modera-
tion met with hearty response from the
assembled delegates, and wild applause
greeted the speaker as he closed that
portion of his annual address in which
he had pointed out the perils which in
his opinion will surely come unless
methods are altered and altered soon.
The first day Of the convention aside
from the address Of President Gompers
was not of great interest to outsiders
and many delegates found it fatiguing

to have lured two boys, Brice Jennings
and Paul Coffin, from this city into the
woods and having caused their death
with strychnine, was on trial, and Pro-

boy had suffered as he died. The ex

AN INCREASE IN WAGES.

Month Benefitsed-59,O 600 Employees
Afrected-Thts NJ can an In creased Out-
lay of 81 $50, 900 by the Road.

Philadelphia, Nov. 13-The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company to-day an
nounced an increase of 10 per cent. in
the wages of all employees of the COM
pany east of Pittsburg and Erie and
now earning less than 5000 month. The
advance became operative November l..
This increase, which was decided upon
at yesterdays meeting of the directors
of the Pennsylvania Railroad company,
will, it is estimated, affect about $4,000
employees.
The various division superintendents
were notified of the directors action and
notices announcing the advance were
Immediately posted.
The cost of the increase to the COM
pany will be heavy. Estimating the
average wage rate per month at $50 a
man the additional expense to the COM
pany would be $354OO0 a month, or
about $4,25000O year.
First Vice President Pugh of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company speak
ing Of the increase in wages, said the
advance was due to the increased busi-
ness of the company and also to the
fact that living is at present more ex-
pensive than heretofore. He also said
that many employees of the company
had not had their wages adjusted for
some time and as they had worked
faithfully for the interests of the COM
pany it was considered only just that
they should receive some substantial
recognition of their services.

withdrawal of the German forces from
here to Tsing-Tau (Kiao-Chou), the in
