AN ALPINE TUNNEL.
The Simplon, When Done, VIII Be
Largest I'm the World.

Parsons Magazine.
The construction of an underground rail-
way throughout the length of Manhattan
island has awakened an interest in other
great tunneis-those which have been sue
cessfully completed in the past and those
which are now in process of building.
Undoubtedly the great railway tunnels I'M
der the Alps, connecting Italy with the
continent, are among the most remarkable
in the world. Mr.. Herbert C.. Fyfe, an
able English writer. gives, in the Septem-
Der Pearsons, a most interesting account
of the construction of these tunnels, and
particularly of the Simplon tunael which, at
a cost OF 100000, is to be completed IN
about two years from this date. My Fyfe
1.-THE Simplon tunnel pierces the base of
the Alpine giant, Monte Leone There are,
s a fact two tunnels running side by side
at a distance OF some fifty feet. At pres
ent only one Is being bored sufficiently
large for ordinary passenger traffic: the
other tunnel is used for a narrow gauge
line by which material is conveyed from
the workings; but 1t also serves the pur-
poses of ventilation. Fresh air is blown
in at one entrance, and after journeying
along the one tunnel passes by cross-cuts
vitiated air. AS the men in charge of the
drills working within the tunnel are not
reached by the current thus set up, they
through a pipe at the rate of 1000 cubic feet
a minute. Work on the Simplon has now
been carried on upward of three years. the
contractors having undertaken to complete
the tunnel in five and a half years at a cost
of s14.000,000
lone reason for the great length of the
SimplOn tunnel has been the aim of the
engineers to keep the steepness of the
gradients within reasonable limits The
older tunnels, although all shorter than the
Simplon. have gradients as steep as in IS
and 1 in 40; thus the money saved by the
lesser length of these tunnels is more than
lost by the increased and never-ending cost
of haulage- The highest point touched by
the Simplon tunnel is 2,310 feet above sea
level, and the rise never becomes much
greater than in 150'

JOHN II. ELLIS SPEAKS.
Big Republican Meeting at Orleans
Conditions Are AuspiciOus.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ORLEANS, Ind, Sept. PA large Re-
publican meeting was held here this after
noon, the first since the formal opening of
the campaign at Paoli, last Saturday. John
T. Ellis, Of Anderson, delivered an eloquent
address at the city opera house.
The political situation in this county never
before appeared better, so early in the cam
paign, than it does at this time. The county
organization is thorough and compact un-
der the direction of an able and experienced
chairman, and the work is most suspicious
ly begun. Two years ago Mckinley carried
the county by AIS majority and the vote
this fall will hardly be less Charles 3.
Rogers, candidate for joint senator for the
district composed of Martin, Orange and
Lawrence counties, and DR.. Pennington,
candidate for representative from Martin
and Orange counties, are making winning
fight and both will be elected by safe ma
jorities. The immense popularity Of Sena-
tor Fairbanks is a great help to the local
tickets.
The corn crop in this locality is tre-
mendous and the farmers were never so
prosperous now, and in consequence very
little attention is given to the Democratic
fuss about the tariff and the trusts

Captain MACPHERSON purchased the land

ROME, Sept 27.-Advices from Sicily show
that the tempest which worked such dam
age in that island is still raging. Details
OF the storm multiply the number of deaths.
On the west coast $40 bodies have been re-
covered and the sea continues to give up
corpses which were swept down by the tor
rents from the interior. 1t is estimated that
500 bodies have already been recovered.
Three hundred lives were lost at Modica.
The churches there are filled with dead,
and the cemeteries are wastes OF mud, rem

victims impossible. Salvage operations con-
tinue, troops and peasants working with
out intermission.
At Sortino the cyclone continued fifteen
hours The rains which have followed the
cyclone have aggravated the disaster in the
country, sweeping down bridges and inter-
rupting railway traffic.
The whole country about Mount Etna has

should be encouraged The conduct OF
John Mitchell and other wise labor leaders
connected with this organization estab-
fishes the fact that contract once fairly
made must not be broken. and this without
any reference to the fact that under the
law his organization is not legally liable.
INDIANA METHODS.
THE coal miners of Indiana make their
annual contracts with the mine owners.
The mine owners are legally bound. the
miners are not, by the agreements that are
made The miners of Indiana have thus
far voluntarily bound themselves by their
honorable conduct, by the honorable con-
duct of their delegates and their leaders.
Should they not be permitted TO incorporate
their union. establish for themselves a ie-
gally responsible organization Of labor,
ready at all times by its representatives
to meet the representatives Of organized
capital TO fix the hours OF labor and the
prices to be paid and received Should
they not be permitted to make mutually
valid, binding legal contract? Then We
would have still greater improved cond1-
tons Of mine workers, still greater pros
perity for the workmen, mine operators
and mine workers. Labor organizations
must be given the opportunity to place
themselves In a position to deal with cap
ital equal terms and be held to equal
responsibility.
THE laboring man has his battle ground,
where rights are to be maintained. His
army is the great army of volunteers that
ought to be, has the right TO be, the best
drilled, the best disciplined, and the best
equipped army in the world. The battles
fought by this army properly organized,
properly disciplined, properly led by such
men as John Mitchell, means greater
equalization, greater fraternity, and means
to command respect everywhere, means
power and influence to command recoSni-
ton. means a greater enjoyment OF the ne
cessities and luxuries of life.
I'VE boast of our laws giving political
and religious liberty. OF no less impor-
tance to the individual are our laws guar
anteeing industrial liberty. The indiscrim-
mate criticism of industrial organizations
should be condemned. Labor has right
TO organize in order that labor demands
may be heard Labor has the right to or
ganize to make the laboring man more
self-respecting-to place labor in q position
to divide with capital the wealth which
their combinations produce. Capital has a
right to organize to do the commerce and
the business of the world. In the material

The power given to corporations TO aggre-

Twenty-one years ago the people OF New

the morning although no fog or haze was
perceptible, except when looking on toward
the horizon from an elevation. the sun was
thoroughly obscured and the atmosphere
was pervaded with a yeIlowish light, which
lent a strange and unnatural appearance
to every object. Wherever there was grass

shade to one of orange. The interior of
buildings grew dark as the day advanced
that IL became necessary TO resort TO arti-
fetal light and that from gas was white
strongly resembling that of electricity. The
phenomenon became more marked in the
afternoon, and after l o'clock the sky
grew darker and the gloom deepened rap
climax was reached at about 3 O'Clock,
when the light began TO return gradually,
although perfect daylight was not restored.
Before o'clock the moon appeared and
the atmosphere resumed it's normal condi-
ton. There was an additional terror TO
many i'm the fact that although the mer-
curry did not climb TO an extraordinary
height, the atmosphere was extremely OPP
pressive because OF the large percentage OF
humidity. The clouds also had a treacher-
Gus look and there was brassy appearance
to the sky, which recalled TO those super
stitiously inclined the scriptural prophecy
regarding the 'last day" Scarcely a breath
OF air was stirring, and the leaves upon
the tallest trees did not tremble. So sure
were some that a frightful outbreak OF
natures forces was impending that they
prepared themselves for the judgment day.
Various opinions were expressed as TO the
cause of the phenomenon. very general
belief, after all sense OF danger was past,
was that II was smoke from forest fires

the belief that the earth had become en-
