not delivered during the trial. Sherl-

moving that the Dude charge should
ha one of the articles Of the impeach

"No speech recorded IN our history

precedent that remains unfoll0Wed by

Only 400 miles long and crossing the

says that 1t would open up to traffic and

means of getting from Lima ton the Pa

to take steamer round Cape Horn to the

miles up that river. When the coast steam

FEAT OF HERoISM.
Gotham Fireman Saved Woman and
Babe From Almost Certain Death.

NEW YORK, August 3.-One Of the finest
feats of heroism in the history of the New
York fire department was accomplished last
night by John Nickolus, ladderman. when
he saved a woman and her fourmonths- old
babe from almost certain death. Nickolus
went outside of his strict line Of duty on
this occasion to risk his life for others, and
in the act gave an exhibition Of GOODNESS
and bravery seldom equaled. Hundreds Of
persons witnessed the rescue and applauded
the fireman as he was assisted back to the
station by his companions. Nickolus was
clinging to the narrow footboard Of one Of
the big extension ladder trucks as it was
driven rapidly along upper Amsterdam
avenue on the way to a fire in 141st street.
AS the big truck dashed up the avenue its
changing bell started a horse standing by
the curb attached to light carriage, oc-
cupied by Mrs. Emma Leonard and her
child The horse bolted and dashed up the
avenue at breakneck speed, with the
frightened woman clinging to the seat.
AS the animal came abreast Of the fire
truck Nickolus, who in the meantime had
removed his coat and prepared for the
emergency, sprang across the half dozen
feet required for the flying horse and threw
his arm around the animals neck.
For more than block the fireman hung
on and finally the horse was brought to
sta ndstil Nickolus' uniform had been
ripped to shreds by the. horses hoofs, and
his legs were severely bruised.

ALLEGED MEAT TRUST.
Scheme Is Feared by the French Cat
tie Breeders

Special Cablegram to The Star
PARIS. August 3.-M. Marcel Vacher,
chairman Of the Society of French Cattle
Breeders. has given some additional in
formation regarding the mysterious scheme
for an alleged American meat trust in
this country. The undertaking has so far
advanced that land has been bought at
Bonneuil on the Marine, at GRANVILLE near
Havre and at Villenave dOrnon near
Bordeaux. Thus the scheme appears to
be as near forward in the two latter places
as near Paris. Plans for the buildings have
been drawn up. and the three municipal
councils concerned have sanctioned them.
But an all-important condition appears
to be fulfilled. The sanction Of all Of the
projects OF the departments Is required. as
well as that Of the municipal authorities
M. Vacher considers that the scheme has
in 1t elements of danger for the French
cattle breeders. He believes that the Amer
lean packers. badly damaged by the
Jungle" revelations of last summer, are
now trying the clean slate policy, and
that they are starting branch establish
ments in different countries. In this way
1t is thought that 1t will be d....cult to
determine just the proper line Of demarka-
ton between Franco-Amercan and Ameri-
caa-Franco products.

Interviewed upon the subject Of the un-

that the construction of the tubes had revo-

great cities OF the world London stood alone
in not encouraging and assisting either by
subsidy or otherwise important public-spir-

The cities OF Paris. Berlin. New York and
Vienna had recognized that the utility OF
railway transportation to the community
was very much greater than the mere serv-

declared still weighed heavily on the Lon
