Nations Chief Has a Wonderful
Escape in a Collision.
ANOTHER DIES TO SAVE HIM
Notwithstanding His Injuries the Strenuous
President Passed Through Martins
burg Friday Night.

Mr.. Roosevelt was brave and refus-
ed assistance, asking that those who
needed help worse be looked after. He
continued his trip, though he made no
set speeches, but briefly announced to
the waiting crowds the accident that
had occurred. After quick journey
by rail through Western Massachusetts
and Connecticut he arrived at Bridge
port, where he boarded the United
States Yacht Sylph and sailed to his
home at Oyster Bay, Long Island.
A Washington dispatch states that
the President will be asked to curtail
the future trips he has planned. The
view will be presented to him that he
must be careful of his life for the sake
of the nation, though personally he is
ayerse to restrictions of this kind.
In all srteet there was brief shock
to the market, but normal conditions
were easily restored.
HOW 1T HAPPENED.
David J. Pratt driver of the carri-
age containing the President, which
was smashed by the car, was severely
injured
threw his arm across Mr.. Roosevetl's
breast.
STEADY, sir, he said.
The Governor hair was disheveled
and he was very pale.
All this had happened in less time
than it takes to tell it, DR.. Lung, the
Presidents physician, had rushed up
to the overturned carriage, and his
first thought was for the President.
Mr.. Roosevelt ami Governor Crane
were helped to neighboring cottage
and their wounds were cared for.
"POOR OLD CRAIG y
Mr. Roosevelt's thoughts were all
for Craig, whose body then lay on the
tracks in the rear of ear, which had
brought swift death to lfim
Poor old Craig 1id the Presi-
dent.
He walked over and looked at the
man who had scarcely been without
call OF his voice since the day Mr..
Roosevelt took the chair of the Presi-
dent.
Then his thoughts reverted to the
people who had been waiting for him.
He turned to Mr.. Cortelyou.
We will go on with the journey, "
he said. just as we have planned,
but let there be no cheering.

OF paying $50 per month is still in

same counties there are numbers of in

work to all the young men they can
get ard at high wages. Therefore, the
young men who have been educated
with the intention of becoming teach
ers have given up that occupation aud

gress from the First Massachusetts dis
trict, escaped with only a few bruises.
All these We're in the carariage with
Mr.. Roosevelt.
After he had been arrested Motormam
Luke J. Madden declared that the dri-
yer of the Presidents carriage turned
the horses directly across the track
and it was an impossibility for him
to bring the car to standstill before
the collision occurred.
Under the sunniest of Septemer'skies
the distinguished party was driving
through the Berkshire Hills in a landau
drawn by four white horses, the reins
handled by Pratt, the President and
his companions going from DAYTON to
Lenox. The carriage was struck
squarely just behind the box ON which
Pratt and Craig were sitting. The We
hicle was hurled 40 feet across the
road.
Craig was instantly killed and
ground under the heavy machinery of
the car into an unrecognizable mass.
The President was thrown into the
air and landed on the right side of his
face in the roadway.
Mr. Cortelyou was thrown out and
almost rendered unconscious.
Governor Crane, who, next to Craig,
was the nearest to the immediate dam
ger line, was thrown ont, but as pre-
vioulsy stated, escaped with only the
slightest bruises
Pratt was turned over bodily in the
air, struck on his side and was found
afterward to have received disloca-
ton of the right shoulder, besides
bruises and cuts. He was taken to the
Hospital of the Sisters of Mercy.
/. GOVERNOR TO THE RESCUE.
When the car came crashing down
the hill Governor Crane saw the dan
ger almost as soon as did Craig. He
jumped to his feet and instinctivelv
threw his arm in front of the Presi-
dent, as if he could shield him from
the danger.
The crash came; the Governor was
not hurt He jumped to his feet and
saw the President rising. A gain he

very high regard, and he anticipates

RUSSIA'S FINANCES.
Receipts of That Country for
the Year.

Finance Minister Wits has arrived
in NladiyostGck from st. Petersburg
in record time, having covered $500
miles in IL days, including stops. This
speed cannot be increased with safety
until the great Siberian railway is re-
Laid with heavier rails. Capa Bile Of ear
rying fast express engines. ANA The
Manchurian line isproperly haijasted.
According TO official accounts the or
binary receipts of the Rus ian govern
ment for the first six months of the
present year are $49jGOO00o or more
than sec, 900 coo buve those in the same
period last year. The extraordinary
receipts amount to $1,000. eco, nearly
three times as much AS last year. The
ordinary expenditures were $446,O0O,-
900, an excess of S34.066.000 over last
year. and the extraordinary expendi-
lures were 32,000,O00, less by $500, 900
than the extraordinary expenditures
of 1901.
The largest increase in the receipts
has been in the government monopoly
of the spirit trade. which now extends
over the whole of Russia. This Yield
ed $13.O0O,000 more than in 1901. and
the Imperial railway gave $s,OOO,00O

PLANS FOR NEW CRUISERS.
Are Changed So That the Speed II
Sacrificed to the Fighting
Power,

The naval board on construction
has finally decided on the features Of
the armored cruisers authorized by
the last congress. Speed has been
sacrificed in measure to power. By
"a vote of four against one Engineer
in Chief Melville's proposition to give
the big ships $4,000 horsepower and
y speed of 20 knots at minimum
was rejected and the horsepower will
stand at $4,000. which, he estimates,
win actually bring the speed down TO
about 21H knots The new boats,
therefore, will be az knots slower
than the four famous British ar
mored cruisers Of the Drake class.
To Offset this lack of speed the Ten
nessee class will have much more
powerful battery. the protective deck
ai its thickest part being ~ inches,
with 16-inch side armor.
The ships have been given so much
power for offense and defehse that
the engineer in chief viii make MI
nority report TO Secretary Moody
taking the ground that the intent Of
congress has been evaded and the
board has designe, actual battleships
and not speedy armored cruisers.

Paris is much preferable to London
for artists. In conversation the other

conditions. l should think the pea
soup fog would be likely to make itself
felt in the painting. This, l think,
despite the fact that spent eight years
at school here.

AMERICAN SHIPPING.
tion shows Documented Tonnage
In Largest In History of Country.

The annual report of the commits
sioner of navigation shows that on
June 30, 1902, the documented tonnage
of the United States was the largest
in our history, comprising 24,273 yes
sells Of 5,7g7,902 gross tons. The In
crease over last year is almost wholly
in large steel steamers. In ten years
the number of American, British and
German square-rigged vessels has de-
creased so per cent.
American vessels carried S.sper cent.
of our exports and imports, compared
with SO per cent in 1901.
The outlook for steel shipbuilding
in the United States for the current
fiscal year1s not so promising as was
last years. On July 1. 1902, there were
building or under contract in the
United States 347 800 tons of steel mer-
chant vessels.
Receipts from tonnage taxes
amounted to ss6S. fs4, of which only
s6s,173 were paid by American yes
sells.
The report shows that the worlds
foreign-going steamers in 1901 we're
valued at about $1,000. 900 0OO and that
gross receipts were about $3.50. 900 900,
out of which $4,000. 900 in dividends
and $4,000 900 interest on bonds were
