:
ern Labrador on Sledse ~ Lost Way
and Were Rescued by, Natives After
Eating Last Dog.
Philadelphia, Oct. 5.-"Crossed Nor
thern Labrador with wife from Hud-
son Bay; all we'll" This telegram
from stephen P. M. Tasker, dated
Domino, via Cape Race, N. F., October
4, was the first intimation of the
whereabouts of the sender and his
young bride since last June, when they
departed on their honeymoon.
The message, which was addressed
to the Philadelphia office of the Assoc
ciated Press, conveys the intelligence,
in addition to the fact that Mr.. and
Mrs. Tasker are safe and well, that
they have also performed the almost
impossible feat of crossing the wastes
of Labrador at Hudson Bay.
,rasker is 81 years old and is a ma
rine engineer in the United States
navy, detailed at Cramps shipyard. He
secured six months furlough, and
with his bride undertook the expedi-
tion as the bridal tour.
Starting from this city four months
ago Tasker and his bride went to the
Hudson, Bay shore of Labrador and
there organized pack train, with
dogs, sledges and provisions, and began
their journey. After travelling many
days they lost their way. their food
supply ran short, and for sustenance
they were obliged to kill their sledge
dogs. After their last dog had been
eaten they reached small settlement,
where they were cared for by natives.
This information was furnished by q
messenger, who forwarded the above
quoted telegram from Domino.

Railroads and Revision of Tariff In
cIuded-sentor Lodge Urges Repub-
Iican Victory in Massachusetts, and
New York.

Boston, Oct. 5.-Curtis Guild, Jr.,
was today re-nominated governor Of
Massachusetts, by the republicans Of
the state, who met in their convention.
The nomination was by acclamatior.
All of the other present state officers
were also re-nominated by acclama-
ton.
Ex-Governor John L. Bates was
chairman. An incident of the work Of
organization was a demonstration Civ
en- Attorney General Moody, when he
arose to move the appointment Of the
committee on resolutions.
The Platform.
The platform reported, after prais-
ing the administration of Gov. GUILD
says:
We record again our confidence IN
the courage, wisdom, honesty and pa
triotism of Theodore Roosevelt, presl-
dent United States. He has been a po-
tent influence for peace In the world,
an inspiration for the uplifting of pub
lie and private ideals, wise and sue
cessful leader in wholesome legislation
in the interests of the people,
Secretary Taft was praised for the
manner in which he has conducted
Cuban affairs.
The resolutions declared adherence
to the policy of protection; that the
Ftariff be revised when the interests Of
the country require it; and urge that
representation in congress be reduced
in states where there is suppression
of the vote. The 'trule of mob, and
the atrocious crimes which frequently
provoke it" are condemned.
The sincerest sympathy is express
ed for the suffering Jews in Poland
and Russia, "altho it is with a sense
of profound humiliation that our own
garments are not free from the inno-
cent blood of Americans of African de-
scent"
Opposition is expressed to the own
ership of railroads by state or ma
ton.
Senator Lodge Speaks.
In a speech Senator Lodge char
acterized the coming elections in New
York and Massachusetts as the Aus
terlitz Of American politics. "It is
no eXaggeration to say" he said, that
these elections will decide whether the
government Of these two states for
the next year shall be American or
Cossack. They will determine whether
these states shall move along we'll tried
paths of order and liberty and free
representative government. or become
the prey of promoters. class hatred,
and outlaws and nomads> Of politics.
The effect of a republican defeat this
year in these two states would be felt
thruout the country. and would shake
business foundations. We have no
concessions to make to doctrine for
those who, for the moment, have seiz-
ed upon the democratic party. We
stand by our principles and beliefs
without any variation or shadow Of
turning, and we should be unworthy
of any mans confidence If we were
weak enough to palter with them"

,ious in Famous Auto contest--3oo,.
GOO People WI. Witness the
Race.

Race.
New York, Oct. 5.-Eighteen of the
fastest motor cars in the world. rep
resenting America, France, Italy and
Germany, will start at s tomorrow
morning In the road race of 297.1 miles.
on Long Island. for the cup offered by
William K. Vanderbilt, Jr. The pill
grimage of automobile enthusiasts to
the scene Of the struggle has already
begun, and that there will be the
greatest crowd On record to view tho
race is beyond doubt.
Every farm house and hotel within
reach of the course will be filled to-
night with men and women, and fab-
ulous prices will be paid for sleeping
accommodations. Cots will be placed
in Railways and stables, and any dis
comfort will be endured in order to see
the great race of giant steel cars.
The Long Island railroad has ar
ranged to transport nearly 100000 pas
sengers, and as every foot of the park
ing space along the thirty mile course
has been engaged, 1t is conservative to
say that $4,000 persons will journey
to the course in autos. 1t is estimated
that more than 100000 persons will be
on hand.
The machine which covers ten cir
cults of the course IN the fastest
elapsed time will be declared the VIM
ner of the race. Of the eighteen START
ers, France, Italy and America will be
represented by five cars each. and
Germany by three. This will be the
third contest for the Vanderbilt cup.
France won the two previous contests,
and is a favorite in tomorrow's con-
test.

EXPLOSION Of GAS
KILLS AND MAINS
Seven Killed, Twelve Injured,
and Widespread Damage Done
at Philadelphia
NEW SUBWAY is WRECKED
Leak in Gas Main and Workman's
Lighted Lamp Tell the Tale-De-
struction Wrought on Every Hand,
and Every Plate Glass Window for
Blocks shattersd-Damase Heavy.

Philadelphia, Oct. "a terrific eX-
blosion of Illuminating gas in the SUBJ
way Of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company, under construction at Sixth
and Market streets, today, resulted in
the death of seven men and the injurine
damage that will run into thousands
OF dollars, Besides the seven known dead
it is said three others are buried under
tons of earth. Extraordinary efforts
are being made to clear the excavation
but 1t will be late in the day before
this can be accomplished.
Leak in Gas Main Responsible.
The explosion occurred shortly be-
fore o'clock, and in consequence OF
the early hour, but few workmen had
gathered. The explosion was caused
by q leak in the gas main that had
been improperly repaired last night
scaping gas formed in pocket in
the subway, and it is believed that
workmen carrying a lamp into the
great hole. ignited the gas.
The corner Of Sixth and Market
streets, is one Of the busy sections OF
the city, but there was. fortunately.
little traffic there when the explos-
ion occurred. About q dozen workmen n
were gathered near the derrick, and
five men are believed to have been in
the subway. The force of the explos-
ion wrecked the subway for half a
block. and all the heavy timbering and
~other structural work, including tons
heavy rain during the night, which had
slightly weakened the walls of the
excavation, added to the damage.
Driver Has Miraculous Escape.
Just as the gas blew up, a double
team on a dirt cart was being driven
directly across the covered subway.
The vehicle. horses and man were
blown high in the air, and the horses
! and cart fell into the hole. The driver
landed In the street only slightly hurt.
Several workmen who were standing
near the derrick were blown across the
street and either killed or injured. A
number Of pedestrians were hurt by
falling glass and signs frop tall bus
mess houses.
Fire Adds to Horror.
Those portions of the. subway that
were not covered with dirt, burst into
flames, and for time no person dared
venture near the place for fear of fur
ther explosions. AS soon as the fro
was extinguished, hundreds of men
were put to work clearing out the
wreckage.
Plato Glass Windows Shattered,
While the damage done to the sub
way, the city's gas and water mains,
and electric light and telephone con-
duits il considerable, it will not COM
pare with the destruction wrought to
surrounding property. From Fifth
street to Seventh street, on Market,
and for a half square on Sixth street,
both north and south Of Market, not
whole pane of glass is left. All the
large plate glass windows are broken,
and thousands of dollars worth Of
goods Ia show windows were damaged.
