VIII Affect the LnIse LeyeIl

Ogdensburg, n. Y, Aug. 12.-By or
der of the secretary of war, Maj.
Bingham, of the engineer corps, held
a public hearing here Tuesday to as
certain whether the construction of a
dam across the channel between
Adams and Galoup islands will mate
rally affect the level of Lake Ontario
or the rights of any citizen of the
United States. The Canadian govern
ment constructed a new channel to
the head of the st. Lawrence rapids,
and, finding that strong cross cur
rents interfered with traffic in the
channel by forcing many vessels
aground, has petitioned the United
States government for permission to
construct dam 300 feet long to OBJ
viate the difficulty.

turning from the crypt, Cardinal
Macchi placed upon the shoulders of
the pope the pontifcal pallium and
attached it with three golden jewelcd
pins.
Mass was then celebrated with
great pomp and ceremony, the voice
of the pope becoming gradually more
firm and sonorous untilit was even
audible in the most distant corner of
the immense church. Following this,
Cardinal Macchi performed the rite
of incensng the pope, whom he sub
scquently kissed three times on the
cheeks and chest, as did Cardinals
Segna and Nannutelli. Upon the
pope's return to the throne the car
dinals offered their last obedience to
the pontiff, kissing his hand and feet,
and being embraced by him twice in
turn. The bishops and archbishops
kissed his foot and right knee, while
the abbots kissed only his foot. The
holy father then walked to the

AN AWFUL HORROR
One Hundred People Lose Their
Lives in a Tunnel.
The Dreadful Accident Occurred on
the Metropolitan Electric Ratl-
way in Paris, France Three
Trains Burned - Heart-
rendIng Scenes,

Paris, Aug. 12.-Eighty-four bod
les have been recovered and the death
list probably will exceed 100 in the
underground railway disaster which
occurred here Monday night. The ac-
cident, which occurred on the Metro
politan electric railway, assumed the
proportions of an awful catastrophe
yesterday when more than four score
bodies of the burned and suffocated
victims were removed from the sub
terranean passage.
The scenes at the mouth of the tun-
mel where the victims were brought
forth were of the most heartrending
cription-crowds of weeping men,
women and children struggling for
ward in an effort to recognize their
missing relatives and friends. Most
of the victims are from the middle
and working classes, as the trains
were carrying them home from their
work.
Although the accident occurred at s
o'clock Monday evening, the officials
and firemen were unable until early
Tuesday morning to descend into the
tunnel owing to the binding clouds of
smoke from the burning train. Ere
quent attempts were made by heroic
volunteers, whom it was necessary to
rescue.
The causes of the accident are en-
Taging the attention of the officials.
Several versions of the disaster are
given, but the main facts which have
been established are the following:
Train No. 43, which caused the acci-
dent, came from Porte Dauphine, at
the entrance to the Bois De Bou-
logne, in the western part of Paris,
and circled the northerly quarter of
the city. In this northern quarter
manufacturing section-the train
picked up numbers of workmen, who,
after their days work, were return
ing to their homes in the eastern sec
tion of the city. On reaching the
neighborhood of the cemetery of
Pere La Chaise the electrical motor
failed to act properly and the train
waited at the station of Les Chouron-
mes until the arrival of second train,
which pushed the crippled train for
ward, making a total of 16 coaches.
After proceeding about 200 yards
towards Menilmontant station the
damaged dynamo set fire to the en-
gine of the first train. The fire burn
ed fiercely, raising quantities of
smoke. simultaneously the electric
lights on the trains went out, leaving
the passengers in total darkness eX-
cept for the light of the burning en-
| CINE far ahead.' This tmpeded the
progress of the trains toward Menil-
montant. The terror-stricken pas
sengers got out and tried to grope
! their way back to Les Couronnes.
/ The powerful electrical current which
continued in the rails is believed to
have stunned or killed many.
/ Many of the passengers managed to
reach Les Couronnes station, but the
main body of the passengers was
overcome by the heat and smoke.
A terrific panic occurred among
those behind, and the horror of the
situation was increased by a third
train crashing into the fiery mass and
adding another crowd of panic
stricken passengers to those seeking
an outlet

Stone succeeds Arthur.

Cleveland, Aug. 12.-W. S. Stone, of
Eldon, Ia, has been elected grand
chief of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers to fill the uneXpired'
term of p. NJ. Arthur, whose sudden
death occurred several weeks ago.
The announcement of Stones cleo
ton followed the Tuesday morning
session of the grand officers of dhe
brotherhood, who have been in Cleve-
land for several days. He was the
unanimous choice of the officers and
his acceptance of the high honor con-
ferred upon him was received with
the utmost enthusiasm.

SECRETARY ROOT TO RESIGN.
Gov. Taft, of the Philippines. Will
Prnha hlX be Hi. amcceasnr.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Before Sec
retary Root sails for London to sit
with the Alaskan commission he will
place his resigna ton in the hands of
President Roosevelt, in order that the
president may appoint a secretary of
war if it is deemed necessary during
Mr.. Roots absence. 1t is expected,
however, that the resignation will
not be acted upon until after congress
meets.
1t has been known for some time
that Secretary Root intended to re-
tire, but he did not wish to leave the
department until the general staff bill
was in operation and other matters
pertaining to the department were
well under way. 1t is understood
that the matter of his successor has
been discussed, and while nothing of
fetal can be obtained, it is believed
that the position will be rendered to
Gov. Taft.
While Secretary Root is in London
he Will remain in communication with
the war department and matters per-
tanning to the general staff and other
important affairs will be referred to
him. If the sittings of the Alaskan
commission extend beyond December
l it is likely that the secretary's res
ignation will be accepted and his sue
cessor appointed at that time, and if
the situation in the war department
becomes such that secretary is
needed to take charge of affairs, one
/ will be appointed earlier. 1t is believ-
ed here that there will be great
deal of delay in consideration of the
Alaskan boundary case and that the
United States commissioners may be
detained in London several months.
Secretary Roots desire to leave
public life is based largely on per-
sonal grounds. His family does not
like life in Washington and the sec
retary desires to return to his law
practice in New York The great
questions that were pending in the
war department, relating mainly to
the administration of the islands ac-
quired from Spain and the establish
ment of government in Cuba, have
been accomplished during Secretary
Roots administration. The reorgan-
ization of the army under the general
staff plan is now under way and the
secretary feels that he has accom-
plished the work that he was called
on to do when he became secretary
of war
