PARIS MOTORMAN is BLAMED.
ACCUSED or VIOLATING RULES
AND CAUSING DISASTER.
He Retorts That He Had Reported the
Motor Out Of Order Municipal Co'D,-
ell Condemns IN" Company FOR Not
Improving Ventilation of the Tunnel.

Special Gable Despatch TO THE Sun.
PARIS, Aug I'm. Vignes. the manager
Of the Metropolitan Electric Railway, states
that Mondays catastrophe was due entirely
to the neglect of Chauvin, the motorman of
train No. 43, to observe the rule that when
motor becomes short-circuited the motor
man must isolate it from the remainder OF
the train and continue the run with another
motor.
Instead of doing this. Chauvin used hand
grenades. Believing that he had extin-
guished the flames, Chauvin continued the
trip with the damaged motor. The train,
after leaving Barbes. crossed viaduct. and
the open air must have revived the fire
Chauvin refuses to he made scapegoat.
He saws that it is impossible to isolate
the motor from the rest of the train. More
over. he had. earlier in the day, pointed
out defects in the motor. which had been
in the shops half hour for temporary
repairs.
AT a special meeting of the Municipal
Council held to-day several Of the MEM
bers condemned the management of the
Metropolitan Electric Railway, particularly
in regard to a motion passed eight months
ago inviting the company 20 improve the
ventilation OF its tunnel
The company will be asked to adopt
system for lighting its carriages and sta
tons, which will not be connected with the
electric rails. 1t will also be asked to pro-
vide oil lamps, to be kept constantly lighted.
to increase the number Of sidings, and to
use tireproofed hardwood in the construc-
ton Of its carriages instead of pitch pine.

CRISIS IN ENGLISH POLITICS.
ChamOerIabn's Proposals May Cause IBIS.
ruDtl0n Of Unl0nlst Party.

Special cable Despatch to THE sun
LONDON, Aug. l3.-Parliament will end
its session on Friday, and its members will
have to face their constituents under Tin
precedented circumstances. Prime Min
lister Balfour has refused to disclose Mr..
Chamberlain's tariff scheme. which. so
far as the public knows, is a general
proposal to tax certain foreign imports
for the purpose of giving preference to the
British Colonies. The proposal even as it
stands, has split the Unionist party from
top to bottom.
The Standard, which is the traditional
official organ of the Conservative party,
has now become the leader among the
press of the anti Chamberlain forces, OF
the free-food Tories.
In a double-leaded editorial to-day it
declares that the Parliamentary session
now closing leaves the country in the
presence of a situation Of grave and painful
interest 1t says:
THE country is threatened with the
disruption Of the great party which has con-
trollel the politics of the United Kingdom
for the last seventeen years. The Union
lists may well ask themselves under what
leaders and with what watchword and
battle cries they will return when another
session opens.
The Unionist party. already sundered
by iealousies and suspicious, is split into
discordant groups. II the rules OF debate
had been allowed, there already would
have been a breakup Of the Cabinet.
'The rift may grow until old lines are
wiped out altogether and the Unionists
will find it necessary to rearrange them
selves afresh in relation to the vital problem
which has been suddenly flung into the
political arena"
