BILE to continue until the chairman had
appealed for order.
Mr.. Ritchie, on resuming, begged the
audience to remember how much
wheat that Canada sends Eng
land comes by way of the United
States and vice versa. Thus, great
difficulties might be raised between
Canada and the United States. He
said: 81 am quite sure that whatever
opinion you may hold on the fiscal
question you do not desire to see any
breach of the friendly relations be-
tween the United States and Canada,
or between the United States and
Great Britain" A large section of
the audience now broke out singing,
"Britons never will be slaves"
Throughout his speech Mr. Ritchie

DESPERATE FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Tunnel Caves In on WOrkmen Under
Hudson River and Several
Have Narrow Escape.

New York, Oct. 12-Twelve men
have had desperate fight for life in
the Pennsylvania railroad tunnel now
being dug under the Hudson river.
They were at work in the Hoboken
end when without warning the water
and loose earth began to rush through
the shield, and in few moments 200
feet of mud had caved in.
Owen Mcconnell was buried alive
under the river bottom Two other la
borers were taken out unconscious
The big tunnel. which is to cross un-
der the Hudson to New York, is al
ready advanced 700 feet, and work is
being pushed with night and day
shifts. The IL men were working in
the air pressure tank behind the great
shield which squeezes out the mud
ahead of it like a giant sieve, when
suddenly the earth became loosened
and a gush of water followed.
The prevailing air pressure at the
time was only twice the normal. The
only thing to be done to stop the cave
in and save the lives of IL men was
to instantly increase the pressure to
hold back the water.
Forty pounds was thrown in i'm
mediately upon the men struggling in
the rapidly-rising mud and water.
Mcconnell could not get away. The
others were dragged to safety, but two
tainted under the strain and were car
ried out in time to save their lives.

BRITISH FISCAL CAMPAIGN
Country Is Taking Hold of Cham
berlain'S Scheme.
Indications Show That Unionist
Party Is Being Divided-Strong
Attack by Ritchie.

London, Oct. 1.-THE mixed reception
given to Mr. Ritchie at Croydon is re-
garded as an indication that Mr.. Cham
berlain's scheme is taking hold of the
country and is fercely dividing the
unionist party. Incidentally Mr.. Ritchie
revealed that he was solely responsible
for the abolition of the shilling duty on
wheat. He said that Mr.. Chamberlain
proposed to retain the duty and give the
colonies preference, but the speaker, be-
lieving that it was only the beginning Of
larger scheme of protection, threat
ened to resign IL the duty was not forth
with abolished.
Mr.. Ritchie strongly attacked the
Chamberlain policy and declared that it
would raise the cost OF everything He
aroused the greatest opposition from his
audience and also from the pro- Chamber
lain journals this morning by his refer
ences to the United States. He said:
"The country must guard against CIV
ing the United States any cause for re-
sentiment against this country, which
would be the case If their neighbors, the
Canadians, were allowed to send their
wheat into England at two or three shil-
lings a quarter less than America could.
America would certainly punish Can

FURTHER CONFERENCES.
leans in Defiance of Striking
DOckmen Is Postponed.

New Orleans, Oct 12.-With $50 po-
licemen under four captains, large
forces of screwmen and longshoremen
and their sympathizers were kept off
the wharves at the head of Celeste
street, where it was expected that an
attempt would be made Saturday to
load the steamer Mexican of the Ley
land line. When, however, the
Colonial, bearing the ST. Louis strike
breakers, began to move in the middle
of the river, she was signaled that
further conferences had been arranged
between the mayor and the screw
men and that the attempt to load had
been postponed. The refusal of the
dock council to join in sympathetic
strike and the issuance of an injunc-
ton by the United States courts have
acted to restrain the screwmen, and
it was understood Saturday that they
were willing to negotiate further. The
federal Injunction was served on the
labor leaders Saturday.

STEEL PLANT CLOSES DOWN
One Thousand Hands Idle as Re-
suit at Joliet, Ill.
No Cause for Shutdown Given-Ex-
PLANTATION Concerning Closing
of Homestead Mills.

Joliet, ILL.,, Oct. 12.-One thousand en-
ployes of the Illinois Steel company
were thrown out of employment for an
indefinite period Saturday, and general
depression has resulted, both among the
workmen and the merchants of Joliet.
The converted billet and three rod mills
were shut down, while the blast, furnace
and merchant mills will continue to run.
The officials of the company say that
they do not know when the plant will
be started up again, but hope to re-
sumo operations in few days.
various causes are assigned for the
shutdown, but it is supposed that fear
OF eastern labor troubles spreading west
had much to do with it.
The report that the Joliet plant of the
Illinois Steel company had received or
ders for indefinite suspension is denied
at the mill Offices. Two departments
are) shut down-the rod mills and con-
verter-but it is said these may resume
next week. The plant otherwise is
working as usual. Officials say they
know Of no general order for suspension.
Plttsburg, Pa, Oct. 10.-Concerning
the posting of notice at the Homestead
steel works Friday, that the 35 and 40
inch mills will shut down, President A.
c. Dinkey, of the Carnegie Steel COM
pany, says the suspension is for a
week only and he expects the mills to
be running the week after.
These mills" said he, "have been
running off and on all summer. In
fact the 35 and 40-inch mills have
never run full since they were built.
The reason is that there are not
enough orders for those sizes. Two
weeks ago these mills did not run
They have been running since, and will
run again after next week."
The 10, % and 33-inch mills in
Homestead, which have been working
on single turn for three weeks, have
been restored to double turn and are
expected to run full for some time to
come.
