HISTORIC TOWER FALLS
Chimes Of st. Marks Cathedral, Ven.
ice, Crashes Down.

Venice, July 15.-The bell tower of
historic st. Marks Cathedral. 322 feet
high, suddenly collapsed yesterday and
fell into the plaza. The ruins are piled
up to the height of 100 feet, and the
Piazza di San Marco and the adjoining
squares are covered with debris and
dust. Some damage was done to the
Sansovino Loggetta or vestibule, on
the east side of the Campanile.
The tower is now a heap of ruins.
1t is not believed that there was any
loss of life. The cathedral proper and
the Doges' Palace escaped injury, but
the falling tower struck the Royal Pal
ace, damaging corner. A Gordon of
troops was Immediately ordered to the
plaza, and kept back the huge
crowds which struggled to get a
sight of the ruins. The accident, which
in the eyes of Italy amounts to ver-
table catastrophe, is almost the great
est art loss the kingdom has ever suf-
fered.

DEATH LIST NUMBERS III
Thrilling Experiences Attended the
Efforts of Rescuers.


Johnstown. Pa. July l2.-Of the 600
men supposed to have entered the
mouth of the Rolling Mill mine Of the
Cambria steel Company on Thursday
morning III are dead. % were res
cued alive and many others escaped
from the mine and reported at the
office OF the company. Thrilling expert
ences attended the efforts of the 40
brave and daring fellC.rs who went
down into the bowels of the earth
with very faint hope to spur them
that still they might be in time to re-
store to life some of those who are
entombed. Death lurked everywhere
around them, but undaunted they surg.
ed forward, swayed with the noblest
OF human purposes.
Early yesterday afternoon cheering
word came from the innermost recess
cS Of the mine that life yet fingered in
some of the bodies found. The res
cuers made first for No. 4, left heading,
which they had been unable to reach
the night before Falls of roof almost
choked up the heading but through and
over the debris the brave men pushed
their way. In the front Patrick Mar
tin his brother Peter, Philip White
and several others made their way.
Suddenly in an open space they were
startled by the maniac laugh which
emanatpd from blackcned form that
rushed at them out of the darkness.
The man grasped firmly a pick handle
and tried in his frenzy to beat down his
rcscucrs. He was overpowered and
dragged back to the main heading TO
the cars. Thirteen other living men
were found in this chamber and physi-
clans were quickly taken to the spot.
The remains of son Of the dead
were in a terrible state, showing that
there had been slow death in each
case. One of the men had his mouth
and nose tied about by Il towel. The
rest of his face was burned beyond re-
Cognition. The bodies of all were
twisted in horrible shapes, most of the
arms being crooked so as to shield the
face. The only one who could be iden
tifcd at the pit mouth was Fire Boss
Joseph TomlinsOn. Nearly all the
bodies were identified at the morgue,
the foreigners by Polish priest.

A. ]. Balfour, the first lord OF the
treasury and government leader in the
house of commons has been appointed
to succeed him.
The Marquis of Salisbury rendered
his resignation at an audience which
he had with King Edward last Friday.
Saturday Mr. Balfour visited the king
and accepted the premiership.
While it was expected in official and
political circles that Lord Salisbury's
retirement would be coincident with
the coronation of King Edward, it was
scarcely looked for prior to that event
Consequently about the only surprise
expressed as the news spread through
London concerned the date rather than
the fact of the resignation. The real
interest was not so much in reference
to Lord Salisbury's withdrawal as 1t
was in the appointment Of his sue
Cessor.
As to Lord Salisbury's withdrawal,
the main reason Is considered by prac-
tically all the best informed persons to
have been simply desire for quiet
life on the part Of a man advanced In
years, whose activities have been un-
usual, and whose scientific tastes pre-
dispose him to study and seclusion.
That the retiring premier's health has
failed to some extent Is undeniable;
but this is not more than perhaps 1t
is to be expected in a man of his years,
and the close of the war in South Af-
rica and the return of the co.nmanding
general there, is considered to be an
appropriate time for his withdrawal.
