EXPLOSION ON A SUBMARINE
FOURTEEN MEN HURT ABOARD
RUSSIAN VESSEL.
American Engineer Among the In
jured-Fire Follows Ignition of
Benzine Supply.

ST. PETERSBURG, August 14.-An ex-
which was lying in the Neva, injured
fourteen persons today, twelve Russian
laborers, Engineer Joseph Meads of
Baltimore and a Russian naval fireman.
One of the laborers died in a hospital
from his injuries. The others are not
thought to be seriously hurt. Engineer
Meads. who was in charge of the motors,
and who was giving them trial when
the explosion occurred, was not serious
ly hurt. In his efforts to stop the motors
he was burned about the arms and face
slightly.
The exact cause of the explosion is
still matter of conjecture, but it would
appear that it resulted from the ignition
of the benzine supply which was being
taken on while the motors We're work
ing.
The accident caused a lively stir in the
city, and there were all sorts of rumors.
all tending to eXaggerate the extent of
the casualties. One report which gained
wide circulation was to the effect that
number OF workmen were imprisoned
in the submarine and were perishing
by asphyXiation. This, with other con-
flicting reports, was denied this evening
by Simeon Lake of Bridgeport, Conn.
who is supervising the construction of four
submarines for the Russian government.
Mr.. Lake made thorough inspection of
the Dragon after the accident. and de-
clared that no one was killed outright,
though one of the laborers died from his
injuries after being removed to a hos
pital. Several of the workmen were
hurled into the water by the explosion,
buS were quickly picked up by boats
wlsch came to their rescue.
The fire following the explosion burned
for five hours, and destroyed the board
floor over the batteries and other wooden
structure work.
The Dragon is of the Crocodile type
one of four being constructed for the
Russian government by Mr.. Lake. She
was built in st. Petersburg, and is of
$50 tons displacement and 100 horsepower,
and has a speed of fifteen knots.

ACCEPT MELL's RESIGNATION.
Result of Faculty Clash in Soutl
Carolina College.

ANDERSON. S. c.. August 1.-THE
board of trustees OF Clemson Agricul-
turaI College today accepted the resigna-
ton of President p. H. Nell. which was
submitted in June last. DR.. Nell. how
ever. has agreed to serve until January
1, to enable the board to select his sue
cessor.
DR.. Nell has been head OF the school
for seven years. His resignation fol-
lowed a clash in the faculty in which he
claimed the rules Of the college defining
the duties of commandant OF cadets were
not clear, enough to prevent the latter
from thinking he is higher in authority
than the president.
A committee of trustees. with Senator
Tillman as chairman. consulted with Mr..
Nell. and later the board adopted the re-
port Of the committee recommending
changes as suggested by the president.
When members of the board informed
DIR. Nell of their action he told them he
had decided to retire to private life.

PARIS, August 14.-France's position
on the American tariff is absorbing the
attention Of the government officials, and
Ambassador Jusserand, who recently ar
rived here from his post at Washing
ton. has postponed for a time his de-
to confer with Premier BRAND and
Minister of Commerce Dupuy. For the
present, however, no decision as to
Frances program is expected
Meantime, French sentiment is ono of
the deep establishment that the United
States should arbitrarily terminate the
existing Franco-American tariff agree
ment on three months notice without
previously informing France, and thus
give her the opportunity to express her
views. AS the American agreements
with other countries stipulated six
months or one years notice. French
expectations are placed. for the time
being, at a considerable disadvantage.

The French press, rejecting the conf

more conservative organs counsel CALM

the ultra-protectionists will force the
hand Of the government, and tariff re-
prisals will result. 1t Is pointed out
that If this should eventuate France
would run the risk of encountertng
Americas prohibitive maximum rates.
Chairman Klotz of the parliamentary
commission for the revision of the tariff
is quoted as saying that the increases
in the American schedules which hit
France are bound to be followed by
equivalent increases by France as a
measure of economic necessity. 1t is
quite well understood that France has
not been aimed at, and that she is hit

Imperial Defense Conference
Strikes a Snag.
COLONIES SEEK CONTROL
Canada and Australia Would Boss

WILLING TO MEET EXPENSE

Stationed Mainly in Home OF
Nearby Waters.

LONDON, August 14.-While the i'm
perial defense conference had little diff
ficulty in celebrating scheme for the
army, as explained i'll yesterdays dis
patches, the delegates found the naval
question hard problem to solve. All the
colonies readily agreed to pay fair
share of the cost Of the navy. but dis
cussion as to the particular form of the
contributions disclosed a sharp difference
between the admiralty and the Canadian
and Australian delegates This was par
ticularly true With respect to Great Bri-
tain's recent policy in the Pacific. When
the Anglo-Japanese treaty was concluded
Great Britain withdrew the greater part
of her fleet from the China coast and en-
tirely abolished the North Pacific fleet,
bo.h of which could be used in conjunc-
ton with an Australian squadron to pro-
tect British trade and British possessions
in all parts Of the Pacific.
The home government sees no danger
in that part of the world and has full
confidence in her eastern ally The CO.
lonial delegates. however, perss.e emily pic
tured japan as a rival who might some
day become possessed of desire for more
territory. They, therefore, while agree
ing to contribute to the maintenance of
the main fleet, determined that the great
est energy should be exerted to provide
defenses for their own coasts and trade
Canadians Want Control.
Australia already is building torpedo
boats as: nucleus of the fleet and
Canada purposed to do the same. The ad-
miralty believes that these fleets will
prove of greater use if controlled from
London, but to this the Canadians do not
agree. The fleet. they say, would come
to the assis, ance of the mother country
in a time of need. but it must be abso-
lutely under the control of the federal
government Before building her ships
Canada. it is understood. will extend her
present dock system and build new ones
The first ships will be modern cruisers.
and the Canadians think that these
should be placed in the Pacific The
home authorities, on the other hand, want
them in the Atlantic. whence they could
join the main fleet in the North sea on
the shortes. notice.
The delegates are in daily conference
and the admiralty hopes that a scheme
will be completed and ready for presen-
tation in the conference August 10. New
Zealand South Africa and the smaller
colonies have agreed to make direct con-
tributions to the British navy and to de-
