WILD FLIGHT OF WORKMEN
laborer in New York Tunnel Driven
Through Water and Air.

New York, March 2S.-Blown
through a break in the tunnel il the
East river by an explosion, carried TO
twenty feet into the air. Richard Cree
don. laborer, was rescued only
slightly hurt. His escape from death
seemed almost miraculous. Three OF
his companions were rescued IN the
tunnel and carried out, all painfully
but not seriously injured.
Creedon and his three companions
were in the forward compartment
working under a high pressure OF air.
CreedIn was the first to ascertain
that the roof of the tunnel was leak
Ing and that the air was rushing out
into the bottom of the East river,
which was about forty feet deep above
them. With sandbags he attempted
10 plug up the leak, but as he did so
the whole roof was blown out and the
tremendous force Of the com pressed
air drove CreedOn out through the
hole. The outward rush of air car
ried him to the surface with great
force. Bystenders quickly rushed
him out of the water. He was consid.
erably bruised and shaken up but
was not dangerously hurt. Bystanders
who saw the man shoot TO the surface
say that he was thrown twenty feet
into the air from the level of the
water, and his appearance so fright
ened the Italian laborers on a nearby
pier that they took to fight, His com
panions were dragged back through
the tunnel by workmen from the next
impairment.

Early Termination OF the War.


Washington, March 25-While
keenly interested in the Interpretation
placed by Paris on the significance
of the resumption OF the negotiations

mats at Washington confessed that
they were inclined to regard this step
as a further confirmation Of oticial
news which has reached the United
States within the last twentyfour
hours that the emperor is absolutely
determined to continue the war for

reported, have declined to take up

proceeds shall not go toward the war

ception of the Russian embassy. be-
lieves that this important fact marks

that peace was in sight could be

gotiations. He learned several days
ago that the loan would be success.

the desire among some French flnan.
ciers that the war come to an early
ending, he scouts the idea that such
a condition has been attached to the
loan. Most Washington diplomats
who are in a position to follow the In.
side workings OF the European chan.
cellories. believe that peace is now
possible. AS one diplomat expressed
It: IF the matter can be approached
in a way that will not too seriously
embarrass Russia, have reason to
believe that peace proposals will re-
ceive serious consideration at St.
