of the Siege of Vicksburg-Fra-
ternaIism the KEYNOTE.

Nicksburg, Miss, Oct. 27.-The dedf-
cation of the magnificent Illinois men,
orial temple in the Vicksburg national
park took place under the most favor
able auspices. A clear and beautiful
October day set the seal of its approx
al upon an occasion, which was alike
delightful one to the men who wore
the gray and those who wore the blue.
FraternaiSm was the keynote Of the
speeches and was the spirit of the
greeting which was exchanged when
the Confederate veterans from Missis-
sippi and Louisiana met those from
Illinois. The programme as given i'll
Yesterdays dispatches was duly car
ried out
The parade which preceded the dedi-
cation was one of the greatest events
Of it's kind in the history of this sec
ton. The troops were composed of the
First Illinois regiment of infantry. the
infantry of the state of Mississippi and
a battalion OF artillery of Mississippi.
Hundreds of carriages containing men
and women of nationalreputaton were
in line. Among the invited guests of
the state of Illinois who attended the
exercises were Mrs. John A. Logan and
her daughter, Mrs. Tucker and Major
General f. A. Carr T.. S. A., the only
surviving Illinois vision commander
of the Nicl,sburg Campaign.

Barge and Crew Believed Lost.

Alpena. Mich, Oct Bot is feared
that the tow barge Thomas II. Cahoon,
owned in Saginaw, is lost with a crew
of seven men. The Cahoon was in
tow of the steamer Homer Warren
and anchored off Thunder Bay island
Saturday night. The Cahoon broke
loose during the height of the gale and
drifted out into Lake Huron. It is
possible that she may have drifted
across the lake to the Canadian shore,
but vesselmen do not think that the
barge could have lived in the gale. The
Warren and her other barges, the Exile
and Ida Keith, rode out the gale in
safety

DEARTH OF LABOR
ALL OVER WORLD
Demand in Connection with Railway
Building and Other Large I'M
prtpvenents Is Great.

Washington. Oct. 3O.-ThrouGh their
efforts to obtain labor for work on the
Isthmian canal members of the canal
commission have found that there is q
dearth of labor III practically all parts
OF the world. SO great is the demand
for labor in connection with railroad
building and other improvements on
large scale that countries which
formerly have sent thousands of labor
ers to this country monthly are now
using their labor at home.
Leroy Park. the agent for the COM
mission, has been in Spain for some
months recruiting laborers and has
found many difficulties in obtaining
the Spanish laborers, who have shown
themselves so well adapted to condi-
tons in Panama. Many hundreds of
the men whom he has sent to the
canal zone are writing favorable re-
ports to their friends in Spain and In
q short time Mr.. Parks expects to send
2 large number of wOrkmen.

BRAKEMAN WOOD A HERO
Held the Car Door Open-Motorman
Sticks to His Post.

When the rear car of the train caught
on the abutment of the bridge where
it hung. poised for a minute, there was
q frantic rush of the passengers Tor

more got out. and as the car plunged
over the edge others leaped into the
water. AIOtorEan Scott stuck to his

door of the last car. threw it wide
open and held it for the passengers to
escape He held the door open until
the car slid Oft the bridge and went
into the water with it. He then swan
to the shore. His action in holding
the door open probably saved many
lives.
When the third car dropped into the
voter Henry ROemer was in the act
Of crawling from Il window. Freeing
himself With an effort and being Il
strong swimmer Roemer set about TO
help others. Swimming along the side
of tho fast sinking car he kicked Out
the glass and thus gave several pas
Sen@erS an opportunity to escape. one
man was caught in window and was
drowned before he could eXtricate him
self.
The accident was witnessed by many
people. and rescue work was PROMPT
Strong swimmers endeayOred to dive
to the submerged cars in search of
bodies. but so strong was the tide that
they were forced to desiSt Profess
Sional divers were then secured, who
dcnned their armOr and went down
But even they were unable to do any
thing against the tide that swirled
around the Sunken coaches.
An italian named Marco Bona was
rescued from the third car. but died
from his injuries. Boats soon Swarmed
about the spot whore the cars went
down, their location being marked by

ST.. Petersburg, Oct 30.--The eni-

religious freedom to the sect known as
the "Old Believers" who number sew
eral millions and constitute the most
prosperous and industrious class Of
Russians. The ukase did not reach the
capital from PcterhOf until ; O'Clock

The ulaSe is very long. running to

for the COMPLETES religious liberty Of
the ''Old Believers" and permits the
practice of the cult not only by the
cold believers" but by all dissenters,
with the exception of one minor sect.
1t is estimated that the ukase thus af-
fects the religious worship of 1900

its place with the proclamation of po-
litical rights of a year ago today.
Two Universities Closed.
The Universities of st. Petersburg
and KaZan. two of the most important
in Russia. have been closed by order
of their respective faculty councils on
account of the violation by students of
the stipulation that open political meet
ings should not be held within the col
lege precincts. The speeches delivered
and the resolutions passed at the great
mass melting held in the university
here, which lasted from noon until 7
p. NJ. We're so openly revolutionary and
incendiary that the members of the
faculty We're unable to ignore this open
defiance of the administrations ulti-
nahum. to the enforcement OF which
they are pledged. Rector Bargman inn

ordered the indefinite suspension Of the
institution

get ont they were buried in Watery

due to rail turning in
Rail Was Out Of Plumb.
It appears that the rail. which was
an outside one on the right hand side
coming down must have been out Of
plumb about an eighth of an inch The
sharp fangs of the electric train
caught this and twisted it inwards.
Had it spread instead of twisting in
wards the accident never would have
happened. This twist threw the first
car oft the track and into the water
The result was that the second and
third cars were dragged with it. and
while the third car was descending

But this brief stop saved seN eral
