Steamer Sardinia Burns off Va

A terrible disaster, in which more

Cured at the entrance to this port
within sight of the whole population
of the city, who were powerless to
give aid. The British steamer Sar-
dinia of the Ellerman line. hailing
from Liverpool and bound for Alexan-
dria with crew of Al Englishmen,
IL first and second cabin English
passengers, and nearly 200 Arab pill
grims aboard, caught fire and within
few minutes was roaring furnace
surrounded by clouds OF black smoke,
through which flames burst upward
to a height of 200 feet from frequent
explosions in the hold.
So rapidly did the fire spread that
the frantic efforts of the crew to
operate the fire apparatus proved use
less, for it seemed but a moment be-
fore the upper works and masts
crashed down upon the deck, while
the ships boats were crushed by the
falling debris or set on fire and quick
ly burned.
Safety lay only in the sea. for no
one could save himself except by
jumping overheard and taking chances
of being picked up. Assistance was
hurried to the burning vessel from all
the warships in the harbor and from
the shore, but the work OF rescue was
greatly impeded by the strong tide
that was running. Even the naval
launches, which came as fast as they
could be driven, were unable to go
alongside.
Among the Arabs there was panic
that could not be controlled. Many
of them were too terrified to Jump
and they were burned to death. 9th
ers, casting themselves into the sea,
were drowned.

MANY PERISH IN EXPLOSION
twenty-five Persons Killed in Brook
lyn Street.

New York, Nov. 21.-Twenty-tive
persons are believed to have lost their
lives in an explosion of gas which
tore up a great section of Gold street,
Brooklyn. It is definitely known that
fifteen persons were buried under the
hundreds of tons of earth and timber
that were thrown into the air by the
explosion and ten more persons are
reported as missing.
The explosion occurred In a fifty
foot deep excavation that had been
made In Gold street between York
and Front streets where a water main
was being laid The gas main recent
ly sprung aleak and a spark came in
contact with escaping gas. Imme-
diately there was terrific explosion
that lifted the surface of the street
for half block in both directions and
hurled dirt, paving stones and debris
into the air. When the smoke and
dust cleared away It was seen that
the street had been opened from door
step to door step over an area OF
nearly a. block. The loosened earth.
had fallen into the excavation, bury
ing the score Of laborers who were at
work when the accident happened.
Great tongues of flames shot out OF
creyiees in the street and beside them
geysers of water Ieaped into the air
from water main that had been shat
tered by the explosion. Two bodies
were sticking out of the wreckage.
Gold street was crowded with
school children when the explosion
occurred and that scores of children
were not killed OF injured was re-
markable. A woman and three chill
dren were almost opposite the exca-
vation when the earth crumbled under
their feet and they were swept down
into the hole under tons of wreckage.
Two other children were on the op-
posite side of the street when the
sidewalk cayed in and they lost their

Colon, Nov. 24.-Owing to the ex-

=. JOE AND SAM.

Old Uncle Joe Cannon is very cocky
when he is presiding in the house Of
representatives in Washington, but
now that he has Samuel Gompers in
front of him in the open field it is
to be a very different picture from
the pose in Washington. Uncle Joe
will DO some tall begging for votes
from the working men in his district
this year. His observation-disclosures Of
her" tone will be softened very, very
much. Gompers is not joking in the
pending campaign and he will fight
very inch Of the ground from now till
election night. From very city and
town comes the news: 1.-The Central
Body Endorses the Gompers Program"
From New York; to Frisco, from Tex
as to Con Guiney's town of St.. Paul
1t is the same. The union men know
what has been handed to them dur
ing the last year by the courts; they
know what their duty is and every
thing indicates that. they will vote
with Gompers on election day and re-
establish the. right Of the working
man. to belong; to a labor union In
this country. They know what ac-
cording to one court decision a union
is an unlawful Organization in re-
straint Of TRADE under the Sherman
antitrust law, and they know from
the Hatters decision that a union is
an unlawful Organization under an
other ia w." The real thing Gompers
is fighting tor Is the right Of work.

Chicago convention has forced Re-
publican trade unionists to turn their
back this year on their party, but it
is better to go with Gompers to Bryan

destroyed and the mechanics of this
country left without any protection.
