BIG TUNNEL FLOODED

Frishtful Accident In Bernese Alps
Which Costs Twenty-Five Lives.
BERNIE, SWITZERLAND, July 24.-
There was a frightful accident early
this morning In the Loetchberg tunn eli
In the Barnese Alps. which resulted In
the death Of twenty-five workmen.
The men We're drilling inside the
tunnel. Without warning their tools
pierced TIE wall that separated them
from subterranean river or lake, the
existence Of which was not known.
The wall gave way with crash and
a torrent Of water and mud rushed
into the tunnel and filled It. All OF
the workmen were drowned. They were
Italians.
:. Fortunately. owing to the early
hour, only a comparatively few men
had entered the tunnel. The disaster
occurred 2,4oo yards from the north-
ern entrance
It is believed that the. men tapped
the Kander River. which flows through
the mountains above the tunnel. The
water now chokes the tunnel within
1000 yards OF the entrance.

STARTLING RUMORS
OF KAISER'S ILLNESS
Quarrel Over Hale Inter
view, Newspaper Says,
Caused Adviser to Kill
Self.

LONDON, Nov, 26.-While the air is
filled with rumors that the illness OF
the Kaiser is much more serious than
Is admitted in Berlin, he having been
'indlsposed" since Tuesday, and con
fined TO his bed. the newspaper, John
Bull. today prints startling explana-
ton for his illness. According to It, he
quarreled with his personal friend and
unofficial adviser, Won Huelsen- FIaes-
eler, whose death from heart disease
has just been announced. The subject
was the Kaissrs interview with DR..
Hale
The report states that the pair had
hard words, Won HueIsen-HaeseIer up-
braiding his Emperor for having been,
as he declared, trapped into an inter
view with a man who desired the state
ments for commercial use. Tais, II
was declared, made the Kaiser seem
ridiculous In the minds Of the European
diplomatic bodies.
One word led to another, and, &C
cording to John Bull. the Kaiser slap

PLAN TO ORGANIZE
POLITICAL PARTY
Call Issued for Democratic
ally Radical and Anti-Plu-
tocratic Forces.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Nov. 25.-For the pur-
pose OF organizing a new political party
q conference viii be held in the St
James Hotel December g, 4. and s. In
yitations to attend are extended to "ea
the economically radical and anti
plutocrauc forces in the nation" in
circular signed by the following COM
mittee: Jay ". Forrest chairman ma
tional provisional comnittee. Albany, y.
y; Geo BE w. Donnan, Schenectady, y.
Y; William LOOser, Greenvile, Pa I,
Charles a. HarrImans ROclIand. Me. /:
II. H Stallardi Shawnee, Okla, and u.
J. Jones, Of Parlier, Cal.
In issuing it's call the committee pre-
sents the following arguments.
Never in American history has
Presidential campaign been like the one
just closed. In the utter lack OF faith or
enthusiasm for both the leading parties
and their candidates.
Never before have the people been
so thoroughly convinced that both the
old parties were completely in the grip
OF the millionaire class, needing as Il
does the intrenchment of national and
local government 10 continue hlchlng
their uuearned boards from the work
ing masses.
Never have Republican and Demo
cratic party ties rested so lightly on
the bulk Of the voters, only too eager
to throw them on.
The Republican party, for over a
generation the darling Of the railroads
and trusts, Is at least fairly consistent
and practically efficient In its frankly
brutal methods Of governing the people
The Democratic party blows radical
~ hot and cOnservatively cold by turns.
In vain, stupid lust for the key TO
the national treasury. In the South,
under its bourbon oligarchs, II is an
ethical anarchy OF child labor, peOnage,
and convict slavery; in the North, an
unholy alliance in the cities Of thiev-
ing, briblnsi public service corporations,
with the protected vices OF the slums.
Political organizations, centrally con-
trolled by millions Of dollars, must
soon be answered by political organiza-
tons DemOcraticaly controlled by mill
lions OF participating voters, like the
enouomic union, first Of the wage work
ers. now also Of the farmers. II our
remaining liberties Of press, and ballot
and assembly are not to be snuffed out
by q handful Of all-pOwerful industrial
autocrats in New York and Washing
ton. The final struggle Of American
manhood for possession Of the powers
OF government cannot much longer be
delayed.

TURKEY ON VERGE
OF AUSTRIAN WAR
Ultimatum Unoffcially Re-

VIENNA, Nov 26.-Unless Turkey
withdrsws her boycott on Austrian
goods within six days diplomatic rela-
tons between the TWO countries, as
first step toward open warfare, will be
served. This ultimatuIn has been serV-
ed CA the porte unOnicially.
II Is officially announced however
that the Austrian ambassador TO Con-
stantinople, NJ Palla Vicinis, viii be
recalled from his post on December 2
While a successor has been selected, he
VIII not proceed TO the Turkish capital
unless the boycott has been removed.
and even then he will only temporarily
hold that post. 1t is now admitted IN
official quarters that Emperor Franz
Joseph has already admitted the hclr
10 the throne, Archduke Franz Ferdi-
nand, TO share his power, and that the
crown prince Is debating the Balkan
policy in its entirety.
High officials here declare that there
is little doubt but that the Emperor
win make the prince cO-regeuL This,
however, has not yet been settled and
may not be until the latest Balkan
trouble Is settled.
Austria is watching closely the de-
velopments IN Italy The attacks on
the Austrian embassy IN Rome and the
burning Of the Austrian flag at st. Pc
teT's, in the italian kingdom, has stirred
the Austrian people even more than the
TurkiBh-SerVian difficulty. Through her
embassy, Austria has demanded that
the rioters be severely dealt with and
that the insult u the Austrian standard
be disavoWed. While Z is expected that
this will be done the ministry may de-
ciue TO 60 even farther in demanding
reparatiOn.
il is felt that unless Italy is placed
sCuarely on record as not sympalIiZing
with the anti-Austrian feeling OF the
common people she win later on give
material help 10 both Turkey and Ser
via IN their controversy with Austria.
