nine PERSONS KILLED.
And Many More Are Injured by the
Fall of Sidewalk at Ball
Park in Philadelphia,

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug 10.-Nine per-
sons were killed, at least II fatally in
jured, and fully 300 seriously hurt Sat-
urday afternoon by the fall Of a walk
overhanging the left field bleachers at
the Philadelphia National league base
ball park.
In the neighborhood Of 20 people were
on the walk at the time Of Its collapse,
and plunged with it 20 feet into the
street. In an instant the scene just out
side the grounds was one Of horror. For
an entire block along Fifteenth street,
from Huntington street to Lehigh ave-
nue., men and boys lay in writing heaps.
The accident was one Of the most ap-
palling in recent years, and among
scores Of bleeding men and boys quickly
taken to hospitals 1t is feared that fully
a dozen will not be able to survive their
terrible injuries. The deaths are as fol-
lows: Edward Graham, Alfred Rodgers,
Edward Williamson, Matthew P. Reed,

THE FIGHTING AFGHAN.
WarlfEe Instincts Have Always
Prompted Him to Look for
Further COnquests.

The Afghan Is essentially fighting
man, says the London Times, and,
though the army which Abdurrahman
created has, in the main, SO far made
for peace by securing the internal tran
quillity of Afghanistan, even the old
ameer discovered in the latter part OF
his reign not only that 1t was necessary
tc keep it occupied but that 1t was not
easy to find suitable occupation for It,
The discipline of standing army In
such country as Afghanistan is apt to
get lax in the idle times of peace. I'm
der an oriental military despotism the
army exists for active fighting and all
IT'S instincts rebel against long periods
of inaction. 1t wants the excitement
and, above all, the opportunities Of in
dividual aggrandizement and enrich
ment which active service alone fur
nishes. For long time Abdurrahman
kept his army fairly well occupied in
putting down all his own rivals and sub
jugating the tribes whose loyalty he
had cause to suspect. When that was
accomplished Kafirstan, with its
pagan" tribes, offered another outlet
for the martial energies OF the Afghan
Mussulmans.
But in proportion as the successive
delimitations Of boundaries and spheres
of influence have diminished the area of
doubtful ownership within which the
military appetite of the Afghan COM
manders could be gratified without any
serious risk Of external complications,
the task Of providing occupation for the
Afghan army has become more and
more difficult and with the maintenance
Of internal peace that difficulty must 60
on increasing.
The sops which Habibullah has from
time to time thrown to his army In the
shape Of increased pay and improved ra-
lions show that he himself Is alive to the
difficulty, but measures OF that kind can
hardly be regarded as more than tenn
porary makeshifts. One is bound to
bear in mind in this connection that the
fighting instincts Of the Afghan have al
ways prompted him in the past to look
toward the south rather than the north.
The plains OF India, which his fathers
repeatedly ransacked, are still to him
the legendary land Of conquest and
booty and if once he came to believe
that the English were powerless to ar
rest the forces of Russian gravitation,
he might we'll be tempted by prospect
OF such stakes as Russia would spread
before him to exchange a losing for a
winning partner.
