Eight hundred Cinnamon all willing

all because Sheriff Iaukea and Chief

the propositions of the huis that want
to do little in the che-fa line. At
least such is the rumor that was upon
the streets yesterday, that a deer
minedI passive resistance to the anti
gambling laws was to be adopted in
an effort to induce public opinion into
calling the Sheriff and his sleuths off

gamblers and including all the pro-

whereby none of them viii pay any

Just how soon it will be before the

OVER 50 DROWNED
new BRIDGE over ST. LAW
renee RIVER AT QUEBEC.
Great Steel Structure Was 1870 Feet
Above Surface of the Waterfalls
Been Several Years in Construction
and Cost Many Millions of Dollars
Among Missing Were 16 Skilled
American Machinists.

Quebec-The Quebec bridge fell in
to the st. Lawrence river. Three
score bridge workers are still held in
the meshwork of debris at the bottom
LOT the river. At roll call Saturday aft
ernoon 70 men failed to answer to their
names and were not among the in
jured at the hospital Fifteen bodies
are at the morgue Of the total rs
dead or missing 16 are skilled Ameri-
can mechanics. Some bodies can be
seen below the surface, tightly wedged
in the mass of steel.
The terrific height of the great steel
structure from $50 feet above the sur
face of the river crushed the bodies
of many of the workmen in a fright
full manner, and it is feared many will
never be found.
Many of the dead were Americans
brought here by the Phoenix Bridge
company of Phoenixville, Pa, which
had the contract for the ironwork on
the bridge.
Rowboats were sent out to examine
the superstructure showing above the
water near the shore, to ascertain if
any of the workmen were imprisoned
in the twisted ironwork. None were
found alive.
Just below the surface of the water
two bodies were seen, but it will be
impossible to reach them until the tide
goes out.
Both the local and dominion authori-
ties have taken steps to investigate
the cause of the disaster, and if posi-
Bile to fix the responsibility.
Some of the workmen expressed the
belief that the pier gave way under the
tremendous strain of the overhanging
work. M. P. Davis of Ottawa, the con-
tractor who built the piers, made a
hasty examination last night, however,
and reported them to be in good con-
dition, although the steel superstruc-
ture had fallen upon them.
A locomotive and several freight
cars loaded with steel Orders were
moving out on the bridge just before
the structure collapsed. Engineer Jess
went into the river with his engine,
but was picked up 300 feet below the
bridge. Fireman Davis persisted.
Engineer Jess was removed to Lewis
Hospital, were he rapidly recovered
from the effects of his plunge into the
river
According to his story, the steel
work overhanging the river was the
first to show signs of weakness. At
the first signs of danger Jess shut off
the steam, but his locomotive con-
tinued to move toward the end of the
bridge, which had begun to toter, and
a moment later the engine went into
the river.

MAY END WIRE STRIKE.
Demands of Operators Have Been In

DCfHdnuS OF operators 7dVc Been IN
creased, 1t Is Now Announced.
Chicago, Sept. 3.-Plans to end the
telegraph strike were announced at
a recent meeting of the telegraphers'
union. A committee of As delegates
from all sections of the country will
meet in New York September to be
in readiness If the companies evince
willingness to settle. 1t was also an
nounced at the meeting that the
operators had increased their de-
mands from Is per cent increase in
wages to 25 per cent.
There is little change in the tele-
graph situation in New York City
Both sides continue firm, and profess
complete satisfaction with the prog
ress of the strike. The strikers claim
a few accessions to their ranks from
the nonunionists, while the telegraph
companies say small number of old
men have returned to them and that
all the business of the day is being
handled. The contest seems to have
settled down to one of endurance.

SWEDISH PRINCE CAN ONLY GASP
Amazed by the Crowd at coney, and
Likes It,

New York.--Prince Wilhelm of Swe-
den says he is no different from any
ordinary country individual who comes
to the metropolis to see the sights.
He liked Coney island SO well on his
visit that he paid return visit. On
his visit earlier in the week the prince
was assured that Saturday night
crowd would far exceed the throng he
then saw. Wilhelm was skeptical, but
he learned his error tonight. He was
fairly carried off his feet by the enor-
nous crowd.
He did not mind the throngs regard
ing him as the show. The prince, how
ever, had to hurry back to keep a late
dinner engagement His highness
spent another busy day. He visited
the North German Lloyd lines, Hobo
ken docks, and went through the giant
liner Kaiser Wilhelm H. Then he au-
tomobiled along the Jersey shore to
Fort Lee, lunched at the Claremont
as a guest of the Swedish consul, and
visited Grants tomb, where he left a
magnificent wreath. Later he visited
the swedish orphan asylum in Brook
Ign. He had only words of praise for
everything. The skyscrapers, women,
American warships, Coney island, rail
roads, entertainments, all came in for
his commentator.

Two years ago he was killed in a
mountain brawl. With eight children
depending upon her she could find no

reopened the still than revenue offic-
ials raided the place and carried her
off prisoner.

fines each were imposed upon John A.

and poor health of the prisoners, short
Jail terms were given. Many other
charges are pending against Benson
