Cars Badly Smashed.

The locomotive, tender, express car,
baggage, smoker, chair, tourist and
einer left the rails and were badly
smashed.
Only one sleeper left the rals, and
with this exception and that of the
dining car, Lhe entire Pullman section
remained on the track. The train was
several hours late and was moving at
a high rate Of speed. The locomotive
broke from the express car, left the
track and plowed through the soft
earth $50 feet before it turned over
en- it's side, The engineer and fireman
stayed with the locomotive and
escaped unhurt. The baggage car slid
hundred feet along the track after
turning over, and was telescoped. The

Cadets Have Trouble Taking OF

In changing apparel and dressing

many a fashionable girl at summer
hotel, says the New Tribune. Many
times a day stern military fashion COM
pels him to appear in certain prescribed
uniforms at the various exercises
Among his most particular articles Of
dress are the snow white duck trousers.

to fifteen pairs. Dement'S are imposed
for a bad wrinkle or break In the

walk along "firtation path" and a few
sittings for spoOnng with fair camp
visitor play havoc with fresh pair
of duck trousers, and they must be dis
carded for official wear until relaun-
dered. Probably Uncle Sans young
wards at West Point are the only sol
diers that cannot pull off their own
trousers. One OF the amusing scenes
caught by a Tribune photographer re-
Gently was one cadet giving another a
drag" This Is, however, only an or
binary courtesy between cadets. At an
angle Of 70 degrees one reclines on the
floor or bed, while his partner, with
hands grasping the inner edges OF the
boardlike trousers, by swift pull and
twist slips them off without ruffiing the
precious things.

often heard calls just after parade or
other formal ceremony.
While in camp the cadets had the op-
portunity to carry out numerous class
customs and jokes of a mild nature, the
oldtime hazing having been entirely
done away with. One Of the most ex-
citing and spectacular OF these diver

Two of the most interesting foreign
ers at West Point are the young Chi
hese cadets, Chen and Wen. now In the
third class. These two Asiatlcs are
both bright and popular and have made
a good record so far as students. Their
expenses at the academy are paid by
the Chinese government and they are
being educated as special act Of cour-
tesy by Uncle Sam to that nation. They
hall from different provinces and come
from high arlstocratic families. Both
expect TO become generals some day In
the chinese army, where they will put
into practice their West Point training.

NO ELECTRIC POLES THERE.

French Cities Place Strong RestrIc-
lions on the Light Companies.
The distribution of electrical energy
Is progressing so fast In France that
a law has been passed setting forth the
most complete administrative regula-
tons for the protection Of the public.
The first and most striking result OF
the new law is the refusal of the mu-
nicipal authorities in all large cities to
permit the use of poles and overhead
wires.
In Marsellles, for instance, two pow
erful companies are preparing to de-
liver electricity in all parts of the city
and neither one has been or will be per-
mitted to erect single pole.
Great progress has been made In the
manufacture of underground cables,
which are carefully insulated and rem
dered impermeable, so that they may
be laid in ordinary trenches exactly like
gas pipes. AS rule when the trench
Is prepared layer Of crushed lime

The methods adopted nre compare
traly cheap and are said to involve no
danger to life or property or CONNER
cial disadvantages. As the location OF
breaks can be determined before n pick
Is placed in the earth, just as flaws la
ocean cables can be located, the cor
suuctiOn Of expensive permanent I'M
foreground conduits may be dispensed
with.
Companies will be required to com
pensate the State, the department and
the communes for the use Of the public
domain and rules for the protection of
the landscape will be enforced. The

vision to keep pace with the progress of

ONLY PRESENCE OF POLICE
PREVENTED IT In PARIS.
New Church Move Flouted by Paris
FoIk-Militant Catholics Organized
a Hostile Reception to New Idea
Several Thousand Persons took Part
in Trouble.

Paris, Feb. 4.-Only the presence
of the police prevented riot at the
old church which has been rechris-
tened the Church OF the Holy Apostles,
in which the French Apostolic Cath
Ollie church was inaugurated Sunday.
The announcement of the attempt to
organize a schisrn has stirred up the
militant Catholics. who organized
hostile reception with the intention of
breaking up the services. Handbills
were distributed, containing the words
of popular air describing Archbish-
OPP Vilatte, head of the independent
Catholic movement in America, as an
American monkey, whom NJ. BRAND,
minister of public instruction and
worship, desired to make a French
pope.
Several thousand persons were out
side the church and scores of others
penetrated the already crowded
church. Interruptions commenced as
soon as Father Roussin, pastor of the
church, began his sermon, welcoming
the representatives of Catholic indie
pendents and the dawning Of the day
when the church of Jesus Christ will
unite in Christian charity.
He thanked Archbishop Vilatte for
aiding the French Catholics in estab-
hshing the first church, sayiag he
was consecrated by the patriarch OF
Antioch, the successor of st. Peter.
A shout in the rear of the edifice,
'IIe is an communicated, was the
signal for a general tumult, and Faith
e. Roussin finally was compelled to
ask that the police be summoned
About so persons were expelled from
the church and quiet was practically
maintained until Archbishop Vilatte
appeared on the altar in the robe and
mitre of an archbishop. Instantly the
din began again, with redoubled force,
eImost drowning his words.
Nevertheless he calmly continued,
saying he had been a missionary for
80 years, but no savage tribe had ever
prevented him speaking, and conclud-
| ing: Even to those who interrupt
and revile me- l say l will not ex-
communicate. l wish you no i'll. God
be with you. Amen"
A score or more OF persons were
then elected before Archbishop Vilatte
| proceeded with the celebration OF
pontlficial mass, in which he observed
the Catholic rites. During the eleva
ton Of the host, the militant Cath
ohcs, instead Of kneeling, climbed into
their chairs. In the meantime the
police had cleared the streets outside
the church and there were no demon
STATIONS as the congregation left.
