COLLISION IN FRENCH TUNNEL.
tlOmeward Bound Americans injured
In Train Wreck Near Nantes.

Homeward Bound Americans Injured
In Train Wreck Near Nantes.
Paris-The rear coach Of the SEQ
ond section Of the special train, car.
rying $50 frstclass passengers from
Paris to Cherbourg to embark on the
steamer Adriatic for New York was
telescoped Sept. % by the regular
Rouen express at the mouth of tho
Breyal tunnel, just beyond Nantes.
No one was killed, and according to
the latest authentic information, no
one was seriously injured, All the
people in the last coach, however,
were badly shaken up and several
were considerably bruised, one mans
leg was broken and woman, it is
feared, suffered internal injuries.
All the injured American passengers
with the exception Of one continued
on their way to Cherbourg.
The names of the injured have not
yet been ascertained, the only infor-
nation available at the office of the
steamship company being list of
the passengers in the coach that was
teIescoped. This follows:
Mrs. Herbert II. Barnes, Miss Flea
nor Redway, Miss Grace Redway, Sam
ne! Baldwin and wife, l.. A, Jones and
wife, Walter Phelps Dodge and wife,
Mrs, Emeline A. Kemp Harold w.
Bell, Mrs, r. A. Constable and daugh-
tefs, Mrs. LenOre Harris and maid,
Mrs G. r. Shepard and daughter,
Harry w. Eame and wife, Nathaniel
b. Day and wife, James Wilson and
wife.
The disaster was due to the negl-
gence Of the crew Of the special in
failing to place warning lights or
torpedoes.
The Rouen train had only French
passengers on board. Several cars
of this train left the track and 10 Of
its passengers were injured, one IA
tally.
On account of the large passenger
list of homecoming Americans, the
Adriatic special was run in two sec.
tiOns. The first carried 100 first class
passengers and the second class bag
gage. 1t had cleared the tunnel
which is 500 yards long, when it was
stopped by an accident to the loco,
motive. The second section, which
was few minutes behind the first
was stopped by block signal as it
emerged from the tunnel.
The Rouen express came along on
the heels Of the second section, and
running 80 miles an hour. Upon per-
ceiving the red signal set automatical
ly at the entrance of the tunnel, the
engineer slowed down, but as no deto
nators had been placed on the track
to give warning of train ahead, he
continued through the tunnel at the
the rate of 10 miles an hour and
crashed into the rear coach of the sec
ond section of the special.
There was an awful panic amid
the smoke and darkness Immediately
after the collision, but the American
passengers soon recovered their heads
and became the leaders in the work
Of rescue.
The authorities were early on the
scene of the disaster and rendered
every possible assistance After two
hours the special proceeded for Cher
bourg. At Evreux the American whose
leg was broken left the train and was
taken to u hospital.

MILLIONS FOR IRRIGATION
Grand Total to Be Expended In Gov
eminent Work Next Year
IL Immense.

In 1908 500 ,290, 900 will be expended
by the federal government in complet-
ing the vast irrigation projects which
have been lnaugurated in the west and
southwest. This project will operate
to stiffen credits and encourage the
people everywhere, SO it is believed by
the officers of the reclamation service
On January 1. 1908, 100000 addi-
tional funds become available for
these uses, and every dollar of it will
DC expended in the irrigation works.
Il apprehend," Chief Engineer Davis
aid recently, that some people be-
lieve that large sums lie unused in
ue reclamation funds. This is an err
oneous idea. The government is en-
,loying every dollar which is avail
able. and has assigned it to those prof.
ects which have been decided on as
practicable.
The most cheering phase of the
reclamation work is that soon as the
several projects are made available to
the settlers the 10 per cent annual
payments begin to flow back to the
treasury, and these funds in turn will
be devoted to still other projects, and
SO the irrigation enterprises become
self-sustaining, and the original in
vestment by the government in the
first cost of the projects will keep on
retaining arid lands until every acre
in the west and southwest which is
susceptible of irrigation will have
been brought under water. Then, in
deed, will the desert blossom as the
rose, and many blades of grass will
grow where none grew before"
BY states, the sums to be expended
are: Oregon, $2,69O,OOO; Washington,
$2,700,OO0; Idaho, $3,800,000; Wyo-
ming, $3,77O,O00; California, s56O,0OO;
Montana, $3,11O,O00; and sums in
other state bringing the total up to
$3.50 100000.
