st. Malo, France, Nov. 21.-Realiza-
ton of the full extent of the disaster
to the cross-channel steamer Hilda
came to the people of St. Malo Monday
as reports of the finding of bodies
were received from different points
along the nearby coast. In all, over
GO bodies have been washed up includ-
ing that of Capt. Gregory, the COM

now lies in the hospital here, and as
fast as other bodies arrive they will
be placed in room prepared for their

OF st. Malo is one of the most difficult
known to mariners. On Saturday night

caught in nets by firemen as they were
dropped from a third-story window by
a teacher. Rena Drouin, IL years old,
was taken to hospital suffering from
the effects of fright and inhaling
smoke, and it is thought that she will
recover. All the pupils except those
on the third floor, who escaped by
means of the net, marched out of the
building in good order when the
alarm was given. The fire was caused
by an overheated furnace.
Sister Mary, one of the teachers, and
her 25 pupils, who were on the third
floor, could not get down the stairs on
account of the dense smoke. The
teacher led the children 10 the win
dows, beneath which the firemen
stretched a net. Under the sisters d.
rection the girls climbed out over the
sill and one by one were assisted to
drop and were caught safely in the APP
paratus held by the firemen. After the
last child had been cared for, Sister
Mary herself reached the street by
means of ladder. The damage to the
building was slight.

St. Petersburg. Nov. 20.-The general
strike in Russia is at an end. The
workmen's council, after a long and
stormy session, voted at three o'clock
Sunday morning that the toilers of St.
Petersburg should resume their tasks

because the rank and file Of the en-
ployes, panic-stricken because of the
employers ultimatum promising long
lockout, threatened to desert the leau-
ers. The workmen's council, however,
in it's proclamation calling off the
strike. claims that the movement
achieved the object for which it was
started-that of saving the lives of the
1000 Cronstadt mutineers. This it de-
dominates great victory"

the extreme party has abandoned the

What caused the explosion will never
be known. as only the four men were
in the building at the time. The build

plosions, was separated from all others
in the plant, except one, by space Of
several hundred feet. The next build

SEA-LEVEL CANAL FAVORED
Engineers Report on Panama Water
way Project-Cost Estimated
at $3.50, 100000.

Washington, Nov. 20.-The board of
consulting engineers Of the Isthmian
canal commission Saturday declared
itself by large majority in favor of
sea level canal. The conclusion was
reached after long and careful study
Of the project. Since the beginning
of September the board had held meet
ings and in special subcommittee had
studied the plans for a sea level and
a lock canal with the greatest care.
A trip to the lsthmus was made to en-
able the members to form better idea
of the physical difficulties which had
TO be considered. The members of the
board are men of the greatest reputa-
ton in their line of work. France,
Germany and Holland had sent their
most eminent specialists at the re-
quest of the American government
The cost of the sea level canal is es-
timared by the engineers at abou.
$2SO,O0O,0O0. Although this amount
seems much larger than the amount
necessary for the construction of the
lock canal, it is claimed by the advo-
Gates OF the sea level plan to be in
reality only comparatively slightly
higher. 1t was pointed out in the
meetings of the board that lock
canal would necessijate between $780,
100000 and $40,0OO,o0O as payment for
the private grounds and the lands be-
longing to the republic of Panama
which would be inundated by the con-
struction of the lock system. This item
in the view of the majority of the
board is entirely done away with by

overruled the objection made by the
government to questions asked in the
cross-examination OF Thomas B. Har-
Ian, former attorney for the Rialto

was placed on the stand by the prose-
cution. AT Senator Burton's former
trial Harlan was a witness for the de-

Attorney Lehman took up the let
ter written by Harlan TO Senator Bur-
ton, accepting the latter's proposition
to act as attorney for the Rialto COM
pany for salary of $500 month. and
questioned the witness regarding the
events leading up to the writing of the
letter. This was the point on which
the government based its objections.
Harlan said that on November II,
1902, he accompanied the senator to
Chicago and talked over matters on

Burton the lega. itl.ulties in which
the Rialto company was involved. The

Burton that l did not feel had any
authority to close a contract, but
would take the whole thing into con-
sideration and report it back to the
company when returned to ST. Louis.
Senator Burton said he would serve as
counsel for $500 month.
"That struck me as being reason

he said: OF course, do not want 10

After Mr.. Harlan had been cross
examined and then taken by the dis
trict attorney for a redirect examina-
ton, the government placed Joseph p.

fused the helmsman of the "S-12G"
