FIRE FOLLOWED EXPLOSION
Collision in the New York Subway
Caused All Kinds of Trouble.

New York, March 30.-A severe ex-
plOsion, followed by an outbreak of
fire, which up to late hour last night
defed all the efforts of the firemen to
completely extinguish it, occurred
Wednesday in the unfinished section
of the subway at Broadway and One
Hundred and Sixty seventh street.
The road at that point is 125 feet be-
low the surface. The explosion fol-
lowed a collision between an empty
train, which had been run too far Lo-
yond the terminal switch, and a fiat
car on which were several Italian Ia
borers. 1t was rumored that the shock
detonated a box of dynamite cart
ridges on the car although all the
men on the car escaped uninjured.
General Manager Hedley stated that
there was no dynamite in the tunnel
and that the explosion was caused by
a short circuit on the third rail and
the feed cable, resulting from the col
lision, which set fire to some of the
timbers used by the contractor in
snoring up the tunnel. No person was
injured.

THEYAlLOBEYED PROMPTLY
signed When Requested by
Secretary Taft.

Washington, March 30.-The first
practical step having in view the re-
organization of the Panama canal
commission was taken Wednesday
when, in compliance with instructions
from President Roosevelt, Secretary
Taft requested the members of the
commission to tender their resigna-
tions. This request was promptly com
piled with by those members of the
commission now in Washington and
their designations will be in the hands
of the president to-day.
1t was believed originally that bet
ter results might be accomplished by
the appointment of a smaller commits
sion than that now existing, but a re-
cent opinion of Attorney General
Moody held that under the law the
president was required to name seven
members in all. The appointments
probably will be announced by the
president during his southern trip.

Another Woman Genius.

Miss Mears, who made the Frances
e. Willard statue, that was unveiled in
the capitol at Washington, is conceded
by capable judges of sculptural art to
be a genius. She began TO model when
she was a child. Before she was nine
years old her work was exhibited and
admired. She won the prize of $500 Of
fered by the Woman's club of Milwau-
kee for the best work of art exhibited
at the Worlds Columbian exposition
by a Wisconsin woman. 1t was SYM
bolical figure of that state. which has
since been put in marble, and now stands
in the rotunda of the capitol at Madison.
Up TO that time she was simply follow
ing ner instincts. All her technical IN
structions was limited to six weeks at
the Art institute at Chicago, but her
work attracted so much attention hat
Mr.. ST. Gaudens admitted her to his
studio in New York, where she remained
a year and half, and then went to Paris.
There she won instant success, and in
1897 her work was admitted to the sa-
Ion. She then went to Rome and Flor
ence, and at the completion of her third
year in Europe joined Mr.. st. Gaudens
and assisted him in his studio for two
years. Her design for the Willard
statue was the unanimous choice of the
commission.

Protection Makes Possible

E'The Mckinley tariff of 2.2 cents a
pound was imposed July /, 1891, and
since that time the tin plate production
in this country has grown rapidly and
importation has decreased in ike
measure. Here are the figures: In
1891 the imports of tin plate into the
United States aggregated 327,SS2 tons:
in 1903 they were 1880, and much Of
this was for manufacture of articles for
export instead of for home consump-
ton. In 1891 the total production of
tin plate in the United States was $50
tons; in 1902 it was 100000 tons. All
of this increase was made possible by
the operation of protective tariffs. In
1891 the average price of full weight
coke tin plate was $3.50; in 1901 it was
$3.S2.-Camden Telegram.

SLEEP CURE IS FAD
OF MENTALLY TIRED
Special Foreign Service

Special Foreign Service
STOCKHOLM, April 15.-Dr. Otto
Wetterstrand, the eminent authority on
therapeutics. has inaugurated what is
termed as the sleep cure" for
those suffering from mental depres-
sion due to overwork and kindred
causes. His method is to induce pro-
longed sleep-even to three or four
weeks in succession. DR.. Wetterstrand
has already treated over 5000 cases.
The jaded, worried man reclines in
any easy chair: he sees others doing
the same: he listens as they do, to a
quiet, forcible exposition of the cure
to him individually in a subdued un-
dertone, suggesting" the benefit his
particular malady will receive. After
a few days of such preliminary treat
ment the patient goes willingly to bed
and to sleep, reused occasionally to Il
half conscious state to eat and be tend
ed. No unauthorized person is allowed
TO enter the room; the sleeper is put
enrapport with sympathetic nurse,
and receives the necessary "sugges-
tions" as to eating, ETC., from the doc
tor himself. THE remarkable results"
says great French physician. (which
Wetterstrand" has had will consider
ably extend the limits of suggestive
therapy."
The deeper the sleep the quicker the
cure, and, unlike that produced by
hypnotic drugs, it is as invigorating as
natural sleep, and allows nature an
equal chance OF repairing organic and
functional disorders.

HUNGARIAN CRISIS IS VERY GRAVE
Report Is Persistent That Franz Josef Intends to Ah

Not Want to Remain Responsible
Special Foreign Service

Special Foreign Service
VIENNA, April 15.-The existing
Hungarian crisis has aroused grave
apprehensions throughout the mon
archy. 1t is significant that in serious
political circles in the Hungarian capi-
tai the report is being persistently
spread that the emperor, tired of con-
tinuous conflicts with both sides to the
dispute, is determined to abdicate
Although these rumors need not be
taken quite seriously, it must unfor-
tunately be recognized that the situa-
tion created by the developments of the
last fortnight is the gravest since 1867
AT plenary meeting of the Hunga-
rlan coalition majority this week the
resolution adopted by the executive
committee not to form or support any
cabinet unendowed with military con-
ceSSlonS was unanimously and enthu-
siastically ratified, and Count julius
,Andrassy was requested to make this
fact known to the king. With this re-
quest he at once complied and at the
same time resigned the mandate as 60

red upon him by the crown. After hav-
ing thus formally cut the bridge be-
tween the monarch and the majority
thing new would come, but what he
knew not"
The something new" that Andrassy
(the younger) predicts may well be the
ruin of the structure so carefully rear
ed and poised by Deak and julius An
drassy, the elder.
By a fitting circumstance 1t was
Count Albert Apponyi who this week
presided over an assembly of coalition
ers and recommended to its adoption
the resolution of conflict. Mons. Kossuth,
though present, was too hoarse to
speak and worn out, maybe, by his eff
forts to teach moderation to the inn
moderate and prudence to the rash.
After explaining in his own fashion
the development of the situation and
declaring that the coalition had by de-
greeS formulated a programme which
Count julius Andrassy had been able
to accept as the basis for a coalition
cabinet, Count Albert Apponyi an
nounced that the crown had not only
declined to make the slightest conces-
sions to national desires, but had re-
fused to abandon the demands of the
military authorities for more money,
more guns and more recruits. The
coalition programme included a large
measure of electoral reform, reform
of the administration calculated to
safeguard the independence of officials,
prudent and gradual provision for the
economic independence of Hungary,
and in military matters nearly an ap-

RUSSIA PRODUCES A
MUSICAL PRODIGY

Special Foreign Service
LONDON, April 15.-The infant mu
sical prodigy is with us again-this
time in the person of Mischa Elman, a
little Russian violinist.
A student under Prof. Fidelman at
the Imperial School Of Music at Odessa,
the youngster at the age of 6, had so
far mastered his instrument that Sar-
asate, who heard him play, predicted
that IL Elman studied hard he would
take London by storm within a few
years, and his first appearance at
Queens hall certainly bore out the pre-
diction.
Critics foresee brilliant future for
the young Russian, who is now nearly
thirteen years of age.
He has already performed with great
success in Berlin, and has been invited
by Mons. Collonne to come to Paris and
play at one of his concerts.
1t is said that Elman was inspired
to come to London after having re-
Gently heard Vecsey play at a concert

could support and the adherence of the
1897 compact could accept.
Inc king, continued Count Apponyi,
had summoned Count julius Andrassy
anu had informed him of the conditions
utter Utter which coalition government
would be feasible. These conditions
were that the coalition cabinet should
cae raNe Iree hand as to internal re-
Iosl!s' out that as regards the econo-
mic independence of Hungary tbe Ans
IIo-GerIhan commercial treaty must be
accepted without modification. and
that in military questions nothing
could De conceded beyond the natural
concessions made in the autumn of
1913 to the liberal party On the otbar
hand, the military authorities cn,,1G ','o tIot
forego the 450,0O0,OOO kronen aIreadv
voted by the delegation for the new
artillery, the development of the navy
and the introduction of the two vears,
service system with a larger peace
footing and contingent of recruits.
Count Apponyi made the most of the
lllegaP' conclusions of the Austro-
German treaty-that is to say, it's con-
cIuSlon before the new Austro- -Hungar-
ian tariff-an economic compact-had
peen sanctioned by the parliament. He
claimed that the ratification of the
Austro-German treaty might easily be
used as means to prevent the forma-
tlon OF an independent Hungarian GUS
toms territory at all. He did not saw
what he probably beIieves-that If
hungary IS presently saved from an
economic crisis of the first magnitude
1t will be because Count TisZa was
courageous enough to conclude this
illegal treaty'-but he commended to
the meeting the resolution stating that
IN view of the attitude of the crown
the constitutional idea of forming q
coalition cabinet must be abandoned,
though the coalition Itself must be
maintained on account of the difficuIt
situation into which the country had
drifted.
1t is useless to prophesy concerning
the future, but some indications NAV be
given. Count TiSZa and his colleagues
seem resolved nc longer to be respon-
slble for the current business of the
country. They must be succeeded by
some parliamentary or extra parlia-
mentary nominees of the crown, since
the king believes himself unable to
sanction the coalition programme with
out violating the constitutional laws of
1857 which, on his coronation, he
solemnly swere to observe and respect
But If the majority of the national
representatives insist upon departing
from the basis of those laws by put
ting forward demands incompatible
with them, the crown may consider it
self released from a compact which
the representatives of the nation would
have broken and might feel justified In
reVerting to the status quo ante 1867.

RICH INDIAN GIVES
AWAY A MILLION
Big Bequest Is to Be Devoted
to Institute for
Research
SpeciaI Foreign Service

Special Foreign Service
CALCUTTA, April 15.-Certain con-
ditions attaching the late Mr.. Janset-
jee n. Tata's offer of an endowment in
the shape of properties valued at
s1,o00,OOO for the creation of an insti-
tute of Indian research at Bangalore,
which have been the subject of pro-
longed discussion and correspondence
between the government, Mr.. Tata,
during his lifetime, and his represent
atives during the past six years, seem
to have been overcome by the publica-
ton of further papers in connection
with the matter.
The papers now published show that
guarantees have been offered by the
representatives of the donor to secure
the full income estimated from the en-
dowment properties and the manage
ment of the latter is invested in a
board whose chairman is to be an Off
Ger, selected by the Bombay govern
ment- In addition to making a grant
of SS5,000 towards the construction of
the necessary buildings and provision
OF scientific apparatus, the govern
ment will make an annual grant to the
institute of half the local assets up to
limit of / y lakhs of rupees, provided
approved generally by the government.
The scheme to be settled by the gov
ernment under the Indian charitable
endowment act bill provides for the
formation of a single council, in which
will be vested the general administra-
tion of the trust, and which will exer-
else its functions through the agency
of three committees. The scheme also
will provide for the reference of GER
tain questions to the advisory COM
mittee of the Royal society, or to such
other scientific authority as may be
appointed for the purpose. The gov
ernor general disavows any desire to
be intimately associated with the ac-
tual administration of the institute, or
TO claim a determining voice in the
settlement of the lines of research to
be followed or the methods of instruc-
ton to be employed. He will in no
way interfere with the free growth of
whatever forms of intellectual activity
and economic enterprise the institute
may encourage or create, and the gov
ernment therefore will exercise no
more than that degree of influence and
control which is justified. and, indeed.
rendered obligatory by the liberal
grant in aid that has been promised.
