Pittsburg, Pa, April 22.-Four men
were asphyxiated and two seriously

They were working in a brick tunnel

a gas main in the furnace yards be-

down in the tunnel to investigate a
small leak. Henry Meredith and Isaac
Woomer went down first, descent be-
ing bv means of a 'odder They went
into the tunnel and were working in
shifts because the air was foul and
was considered dangerous.
When they did not come out Frank
Kalgour went into the tunnel and was
later followed by Fred Knox. but the
small leak at which the men were
working seems to have become larger
and all four were asphyXiated.
Not hearing from the men, two
other men then went down and they
were also partially overcome but
managed to reach the opening in time
to save their lives.

Details of Neutrality Issue.
(By the Associated Press.)

st. Petersburg, April 22.-7:3O D. m.
Both Admiralty and the Foreign
Office affirm that they have no precise
information as to whether Admiral
Roiestvensky has violated French
neutrality at Kamranh Bay, but con-
fidence is expressed at both minis
tries that the admiral, who is thor
oughly familiar with the French
regulations, has taken care not to in
fringe them. Nevertheless the Rus
sian authorities manifest the most
sincere desire to relieve the ally of
Russia of all possible embarrassment
should it turn out that Admiral Ro-
JeStvensky had entered and remained
in French territorial waters and dis
patches were forwarded to the adj
miral last night impressing him with
the necessity of strict observance of
Frances neutrality.
Exactly what happened is this:
France communicated the Japanese
protest TO Russia through NJ Nelidoff,
the Russian ambassador, as to the
awkward position in which she would
be placed if the japanese complaint
proved well founded. Foreign Min
lister Lamsdorff thereupon transmit
ted it to Vice Admiral AveIan who in
turn laid it before Emperor Nicholas
and with His Majesty's approval the
protest was forwarded to Rojest-

Ordered to Leave.
(By the Associated Press.)

Paris. April ga semi-official
telegram from st. Petersburg says
that Emperor Nicholas has ordered
Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron to
leave French territorial waters.
The Foreign Office received advices
from st. Petersburg today showing
that the instructions sent to Admiral
Roiestvensky are positive and explicit,
and that he must keep outside of
French waters. The nature of the in
structions is said to be such that
Rojestvensky must observe them by
fully respecting French neutrality or
else subject himself to punishment
from his government. Therefore the
officials here feel that France has
succeeded on securing the limit of
what Japan can reasonably ask.
Further official advices show that
radical steps have been taken to pre-
vent the Russian protected cruiser
Diana, interned at Saigon, after the
naval battle of August 10, from put
ting to sea and resuming her active
operations. The Diana is understood
to have been lying recently at Hal
fong, where her repairs were Suffi-
GENTLY advanced to permit her to re-
join Admiral Rojestvensky's squad
ron and thus add another powerful
cruiser to his strength. But the
French authorities peremptorily re-
uuired the cruiser to be placed in a
condition making it impossible for her
to go to sea. Therefore such parts of
her machinery as are indispensable to
her such as her shaft and propeller,
have been removed. thus rendering
the Diana ineffective.

France Realizes That For Him - Re.
sign Would Be an Open and
HumiIiating Concession to
Germany.
(By the Associated Press. }

Paris, April 22.--Yielding to the
personal solicitations and representa-
tons of President Loubet and the
leaders of the government that his
retirement would be serious national
peril at this time. M. DelcaSSe today
advised Premier ROuvier that he
would reconsider and withdraw his
resignation as foreign minister This
was after strong assurances had been
given M. DelcaSse that the ministry
was united in sympathy with and
support of his foreign policy.
1t was the intention to hold q spe-
cial cabinet council this afternoon at
which the united attitude of the min
istry upon foreign questions would
receive definite expressions. However,
Nj. DelcaSSe's personal conferences
With M Loubet and Rouvier made
such an explicit declaration unneces-
sary; the proposed council was aban-
dOned, and NJ RouVier went TO the
Elysee palace at o'clock this even
ing, where he announced to NJ. Lou
bet that M. Delcasse would remain
in the cabinet.
During the conferences today be-
tween the president and M. Rouvier
and Dclcasse the latter said he would
retain the portfolio OF foreign affairs
only in case the entire cabinet ap-
proved of his foreign policy which he
would carry out according to his view.
The authority necessary to carry on
negotiations with the powers was in
effective if such negotiations led to
reserves or diVergenCe5 among the
members of the cabinet. The purpose
of the intended cabinet meeting was
to remove every scruple in the mind
of the foreign minister concerning
the loyalty and support given him.
The conferences accomplished the
same object showing that there was
no divergence of views and in conse-
quence Delcasse gave as his final an
SWer that he would remain
M. DelcaSsc'S staying in the cab
met is expected to result in a firmer
attitude towards Germany than here
tofOre shown. The foreign minister
policy has been to give Germany ade-
quate assurances that her interests
in Morocco would be treated the
same as those of the rest of the world,
but after making these approaches
he did not desire to yield Frances
entire project concerning Morocco at
the dictation of Germany This APP
pears to have excited fears in high
quarters that M Delcasse's courteous
but firm stand against Germany
might lead to dangerous complica-
tons. Consequently his offer to re-
sign was everywhere interpreted as a
triumph for Germany whereas his
determination to remain is interpre-
ted as a check to German designs.
The feeling over Germany has natur-
ally become much more acute as a
result of the incident. Many deputies
who have been interviewed on the
subject say that Delcasscs resigning
at this time would be equivalent to
France making an open and humiliat-
ing concession to Germany
