The Quebec Horror,

Quebec, Aug. 30.-Steps to begin a
criminsl investigation into last nights
terrible disaster when prehaps eighty
men lost their lives in the collapse of the
gigantic bridge FIVE miles from here,
have already been taken by the authOri-
ties, despite the fact that the city and
the communities near the scene of the
accident are still Frustrated. Every eff
fort will be made to fix the blame for
the disaster. If it is discovered any
criminal culpability exists criminal pros
ecutions will follow.
Latest estimates made today place the
dead at eighty four, but those giving
out the figures, admit their estimate may
be too small. Several officers of the
Phoenix Bridge Coal Company lost their
lives in the disaster.
In connection with their investigation
the authorities are looking into story
that on Wednesday, several of the work
men alarmed by the noise of creaking
cables and cracking rivets they had
heard, told the superintendent the bridge
was unsafe and they would not work
longer on it. They were treasured,
however, according to the report, and
went back to work yesterday.

COLLAPSE OF A BRIDGE.

The immense new $lO, ,OUO steel
bridge, which WAS in course Of construc-
ton across the st. Lawrence river at
Louis, two miles above the city of
Quebec, collapsed late yesterday alter
noon, carrying down nearly 175 work
men. mostly steelworkers and riveters.
1t is estimated that the loss of life is
at least 60, and may exceed that num-
Der by 20.
The bridge was about mile and a
half in length, aud half of it, from the
south short to midstream, crumpled up
and dropped into the water. Ninety
men were at work on this section of the
structure, and the whistle had just
blown at $50 for the men to quit work
for the day, when there came grinding
sound from the bridge midstream. The
men turned to see what had happened
and an instant later the cry went up
"The bridge is falling"
The men made a rush shoreward, but
the distance was too great for them to
escape. The fallen section of the bridge
dragged others after it, the swapping
girders and cables booming like a crash
OF artillery.
Terror lent feetness to the feet of the
frightened workmen as they sped shore
ward, but only few of them reached
safety before the last piece of iron work
on the south shore was dragged into the
river.
The steamer Glenmont had just cleared
the bridge when the frat section fell.
The water thrown up by the debris came
clear over the bridge of the steamer.
The captain at once lowered boats. The
small boats piled backward and forward
over the sunken wreckage for half an
hour, but there was no sign of life.
The twisted iron and steel had its
victims in terrible death grip. A few
floating timbers and the broken strands
of the bridge toward the north shore
we're the only signs that anything I'M
usual had happened. There was not a
ripple on the smooth surface of the st.
Lawrence as it swept along toward the
Gulf.
The collapse is thought to be due to
the overlooking of the superstructure
with bridge materials, and it occurred at
an hour when the workmen were all in
their places, preliminary to finishing the
work for the day.
When the tall of the giant structure
came the big steel structural work with
which it was being built prevented many
of the workmen from drowning in the
s.. Lawrence river. Those who were
not stunned by the terrible tumble from
the supers.ructure seized the big steel
girders which we're carried 10 the river
bottom. and were thus saved from
drowning.
The Quebec bridge was begun about
seven years ago and it was to be finished
in 1909.

A New Attorney General .

New York, Aug. 9O.-A Financial
News bureau today published a report
that Frank B. Kellogg, counsel for the
Interstate Commerce Commission, would
succeed o. ]. Bonapsrte as Attorney
General soon.
Kellogg, who is here preparing for the
government suit against the Standard
Oil Company, said there was absolutely
no foundation for the report.
For several years Kellogg was chief
counsel in the northwest for the North
ern Pacific Railway Company and also
for the Chicago Great Western. He has
served as counsel for the Standard Oh
Company and the Steel Corporation.
He conducted the investigation into the
Hartman lines for the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission, and will be in
charge of the investigation Of the Rookie
Teller concern which will begin here
nextIweek. The Financial News says:
"Becagse of the connection he has
had with corporations and corporate
managers and because of the ability and
fair-mindedness displayed in the Har-
riman investigation ii is understood that
financial interests would regard bis
appointment as Attorney General, with
unusual favor"

ton contests in every district where the
Sim Fein will put up candidates against
the nationalists, the party of John Red
mond, which it aims to overthrow.

Newspaper Building Destroyed.

Louisville Ky. Aug. 80. Fire that
started in the Courier Journal Office
early today practically destroyed the
structure, a fve-story building. The
blsze started at the top of the elevator
shaft, and it is supposed to have been
caused by defective insulation OF an cleo
trio wire. The blaze was confined to the
one building, which is occupied also BY
the Louisville Times. The editorial
and repororial forces of the COuerier-
Journal stuck to the building in the hope
that the blaze would be su5dued and that
they could Issue paper. They were
caught mapping, with fire at all exits
and had to be taken out on the ladders.
The linotype machines and presses are
located in a reinforced section of the
building and the damage to them will
be comparatively light. The remaining
contents of the buildings are a total
loss. The damage on building and con-
tents is estimated at $3.50, 900.

New London, Conn.,, August 3d.
Richard Mansfield, the actor, died at
his Summer home, Seven Oaks, on Ocean
avenue, in the Pequot section of the

wards came to this country, and opened
a studio in Boston. 1t WAS his hope
and intention to become 40 artist and
to this end he studied art in England.
His desire to become an actor how
ever was 50 great that at length he gave
up his artistic endeavors to go on
the stage. He played small parts in
comic opera in England. He returned
to the United States and appeared at

Tangier, Aug. SO.-Fifteen thousand
Moors sre gathering for fresh attack
on Casablanca, according to a message
received here today. The attack promises
to be the most serious the defenders have
had yet to meet as the MoOrs are partly
organized. The srmys now ready for
the attack comprises three brigsdes.
Details of Wednesdays battle state
that 10000 tribesmen joined in the at
tack. They charged bravely within
close rifle range before being repulsed.
Time and again they returned to the
charge, the fighting continuing for three
hours.
The Moors lost 500 killed and wound
ed. Three French soldiers were killed
and seven wounded.
Reports today from southern Morocco
are more resssuriDg, as indicating that
the newly proclaimed Sultan, Mouley

towards Europeans is believed to be

Mr.. Morgan and the street Railway.
New York, Aug. S0.-Wall street
displays a keen interest rumors that
]. P. Morgan has bought $50, 900, 600
worth of Metropolitan Street Railway
bonds, at fifty cents on the dollar, and
will Immediately undertake to reOrgsnize
the New York traction trust. The bonds
were issued is exchange for marlborough
stock at the rate of two for one and de-
spite the confused condition of local
traction affairs it is believed the invest
ment will prove immensely profitable.
The "street" has it that Morgan had no
intention of returning so soon from
abroad, until he learned of the i'm
pending break between the Ryan and
Belmont interests. Now it is rumored
that Ryan will hurry home, too, to OPP
pose interference with his deep laid plans
for a traction trust reorganization on his
own lines.
II is unofficially reported that Morgan will
follow the same plans adopted in reorganlzlng
the Chicago Street Railways. He will or
ganize a new company which will issue stock
in exchange for that Of the various subsidiary
companies actually running cars. THIS VIII

Morgan himself. If the street is correct in
Its belief that Morgan was about to take the
traction situation in hsnd-and the rumors

CHINA PROTESTS.

A dispatch from Peking says China
made a protest on August 10 to France
and Japan against the covenant Of their
recent agreement providing for inter-
ference in the vast regions of the sover-
eign Chinese domain. The protest has
resulted in a remarkable suppression by
the authorities of public matters. 1t is
claimed that China has been brow
beaten from her rights, owing to the
cowardice of the present Chinese govern
ment, the covering position of the
throne, and its overlooking by Japan.
The protest which the Wai-Wu-Pu,
or Board of Foreign Affairs, for the pur-
pose OF not giving oftnse modified to a
mild character, 10 TO the effect hat the
agreement OF China's allied opponents
is mot to be considered as right" Ths
protest has aroused the indignation of
the japanese, who have ignored it, lesv-
ing the French at Peking to persuade the
Wai-Wu-Pu to drop it.
While China's resentment at the pa
tronage Of Japan, which country is as
sumiDg the positiGr of her protector,
is increasing, the government iS yet too
weak and alarmed to combine the as
sistance of the Empress with official
action, preferring the dangerous policy
of secrecy.
The attitude of foreigners at Peking
has reached a stage of pronounced an
tagonism to the japanese, especially
among those belonging to the nations
which are the allies of Japan. This an
tagoniem has been largely provoked by
Japan's constant success both in Korea
and Manchuria,
A new movement headed by Chang
Chin Lung has been started among the
Chinese TO promote native enterprises
in Fukien, for the purpose OF offsetting
the efforts of the japanese to obtain
toothold in the province.

Albert Hern, So years old, OF Bslti-
more, attempted TO commit suicide We'd
nesday afternoon by jumping from the
steamer Calvert, of The Maryland, Del
aware and Virginia Railway Company,
into the Poicmsc river. He was rescured

factories at the wharf and that he intend
ed to kill himself.
Shortly afterward Hern was seen to
climb on the rail of the boat and Jump
of before any one could reach him. First

FRIDAY EVENING. AUG. 80. 1907.

A MOVEMENT to amend the rate law
an as TO allow railroads TO issue free
passes to certain people is said to be on
foot, with the approval of no less a
parsonage than President Roosevelt him
self. 1t is reported that the President
recently declared that he did not be-
lieys the law should have gone as far
as IL did in the matter of limiting the
issuance Of free transportation. The
President declared that the law should
allow the roads to issue passes to bona
fide newspaper men, especially in return
for advertising, and that an effort to
amend the law in this regard would
have his support. Concerning this mat
ter the correspondent OF the Richmond
Times Dispatch writing from Washing
ton says:
II isa significant fact that while q
few editorial associations have adopted
resolutions denouncing the antipass
provision of the rate law, newspaper
men az a rule have not protested. AS q
matter of fact, judging from expressions
of Washington correspondents and daily
Newspaper men in Washington, the move
ment to secure amendment OF the law
Will not receive theiractive support.
