Times.
Paris. Oct. 5.-Thanh Thai, king of
AMMAN. according to stories reach
ing Paris from Indo China, has again
been guilty of such atrocities that the
French government may become com.
PEELED to adopt rigorous disciplinary
measures. as it did several years ago.
At that time, on account of the scandal
caused by barbarous torture of the
kings personal attendants, the French
resident, who is at the head of gen.
darmery, entered the palace to save
the lives of attendants and restore
order.
The mails now report that in Angus,
the king was seized with homicidal
mania. and ordered seven of his wives
to be executed and looked on with de.
light while they were slowly tortured
to death. A few days later. the king
shot down the prince. who was 20
years member of the council of the
royal family, highly esteemed and the
last surviving son of King Mimi Mang.
When the French resident called to
demonstrate with Thanh Thai, the lat
ter declined to permit him to enter
the palace. Tho king wanted to come
to Paris. as the king of Cambodia did,
but the French press declares that
such a fiend shall never be allowed
to visit France.

Seven Dead and Many Injured
This Morning In Philadel-
phia, Pa, as Result of an Ex-
plosion of Illuminating Gas
In Huge Subway.
LEAK N CITY GAS MAIN
AND A WORkMAn'S LAMP
Responsible For Ignition and
Explosion-Trojan Rescue
Efforts Made.

Annotated Press to The Evening" Times.
Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 5.-A terrific
explosion of illuminating gas in the
subway of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit company, under construction
at Sixth and Market streets today, re-
sulting in the death of seven men, in
juring about dozen others, and caus-
ed property damage that will run into
thousands of dollars. Besides seven
men that are known to be dead, it is
said that at least three others are
buried under tons of earth in the
wrecked subway. Extraordinary eff
forts are being made to clear the ex-
cavation but it will be late in the day
before this can be accomplished.
The explosion occurred shortly be-
fore z o'clock, and but few workmen
had gathered. The explosion was
caused by leak in the city gas main
that had been improperly repaired last
night. It is supposed a workman
carrying lamp ignited the gas.
The force of the explosion wrecked
the subway for half block and all
the heavy timbering and other struc-
tural work, including tons of earth,
fell into the excavation. A heavy rail.
during the night slightly weakened
the walls of the excavation and added
to the damage
Just as the gas blew up. a double
team dirt cart was being driven d.
rectly across the covered subway. The
vehicle, horses and man, werefb
high in the air and the horses and cart
fell into hole. The driver landed in
the street only slightly hurt. Several
of the workmen who were standing
near the derrick were blown across
tine street and either killed or injured,
and number of pedestrians were hurt
by falling glass and signs from tall
business houses on both sides of Mar
ket and Sixth streets.
Those portions of the subway that
were not covered with dirt, burst into

The ships themselves, it is stated
at the department, do not afford any

being quick transports and barracks
for the blue jackets and marines which
have been landed on the island. There
is no suggestion that the big guns of
the ships or even the smaller batter
les would be used against the towns

enough to accommodate naval vessels.
