The investigation into the cause oil
the accident On the North Dakota
where three mel were killed and nne
were injured. it is believed here today,
will 90 behind the returns" and a
strenuous effort will be made to dis
cover the elementary trouble which
has caused three naval disasters since
last April The fact that the North
Dakota was the latest product OF the
highest skill available in this country,
with no question OF money considered
in its construction, makes the situation
disheartening to naval officials. Ad-
miral Schroeder, after carefully ex-
aiming the machinery and the
equipment in the room where the
accident occurred, declared that, IN
his opinion, the men we're not TO
blame. 1t is his opinion that no element
OF carelessness entered into the situation.
This it is believed, will put it up the
board Of inquiry to find what the
elementary trouble is behind the fle-
quency OF naval accidents.
The State Department today indi-
Gated that it looked upon the situation

held today, rs Of little importance, so
far as the talk of Intervention by the

to repudiate an interview attributed to
him merely because it appeared that
the alleged interview was being used for
political purposes. 1t was said that the
Department was satisfied that Marsh
made no statement that could be con
strued as indicating possible intervention
in the election by the United States.

peared, and the assumption was that

The Lockout of RoIIermakers.

Newcastle on Tyne, Sept. 9.-Re-
ports today from the various union
centers involved in the present lockout
Of boilermakers engaged in the ship
building industry indicate that the
men are voting against the proposal
of giving assurances to the shipbuild-
ing employees federation that the ma
tional agreement OF 1909 will be re-
garded as inviolible.
Labor leaders are apprehensive that
the lockout, which affects 10000
boilermakers, will grow into one OF
the most disastrous labor struggles in
the history OF England. The rank
and file OF the union men charge the
bOIlermakers' counsel, which called for
the vote, with adopting a tratorous
course. Despite the sentiment that
developed today the council is hopeful
Of a majority in making guarantees to
the federation.

Split Widening.

Chicago, Sept. 9.-The factiona
split in the republican party in Illinois
is today wider than eyer as result
OF the Roosevelt-Lorimer incident.
Nothing in recent political history has
so stirred the political pot as the slap
administered to Senator Lorimer and
his followers by Theodore Roosevelt.
Its effect will be far-reaching.
That it will rend the historic Hamil-
ton Club asuhder was predicted today
in many quarters. Lorimer is not only
a member OF the club, but large
proportion OF its membership is COM
posed OF Lorimer's friends and follow
ers. Wholesale designations and the
probable formation OF a new club is
forecasted today. Editorially the
morning newspapers commend Roose-
welt, except the Inter-Ocean, which is
friendly TO Lorimer.

Conditions in spain.

Madrid, Sept. 9.-The choice OF up
holding Premier Canalejas in his con
duct of the dispute with the Vatican,
thus precipiating a clerical revolt, or OF
forcing him from Office and causing a
widespread uprising Of republicans,
will be presented to the Cortes in
| October.
The premier expressed confidence to-
day that the Cortes would uphold him.
His reply TO the recent note OF the
Vatican, in which he declared the bill
prohibiting the creation OF religious
establishments until the Concordat is re-
vised. will be adopted, means that it
will rest with the Cortes as TO whether
the rupture with the Vatican becomes
permanent. The passage Of the bill
will make the breach irremediable.
King Alfonso has surprised everyone
by his continued stand by his premier.
His frmness is attributed 10 a know
ledge that should he desert Canaleias,
he will launch a clean-cut struggle be-
tween monarchy and republicanlsm,
as in such case the church would
stand by Alfonso, and Don Jaime, the
pretender, would not figure in the fight.
The deIicacy OF the kings position is
emphasized by the doubt that the re-
publicans will not stand by him per-
manently, even if he should uphold
Canalejas. The question is whether
effective reforms in Spain are possible
under monarchy. The fight would
consequently resolve itself into tri-
angular conflict between Don Jaime
and the clericals, Alfonso and the Con
seryaiive anti-clericals, and the radicals.

AFTER thorough Investigation.
"The Pail Mall Gazette" has come TO
the conclusion that the opium habit is
shockingly prevalent among the work
ing classes of London. One phase OF
the evil is the impregnating of ciga-
rettes with opium, which, The Ga
zette" asserts, is rampant, especially
among the mill girls Of Lancashire,
who find it irresistible as a solace and
means of obtaining temporary relief
from the WEAKNESS and pain attendant
on a life Of toll " The same state Of
affairs is known TO exist in this country.

Mr.. ROOSEVELT refused to attend the
banquet of the Hamilton Club in
Chicago last night if Senator Lorimer
were to be present. declaring that he
would not sit at the same table with
Lorimer. He insisted that LOrlmer be
notified of this and left the club TO
choose between him and the senator.
Although Lorimer is a member OF the
club and on terms OF personal intimacy
with a majority Of the members, his
invitation to the banquet was withdrawn
and his seat last night was occupied by
James r. Garfield. No such humllia-
ton was ever inflicted upon a member
OF the United States Senate in his home
city, and the incident, while not to be
compared in national importance to the
prior developments Of Mr.. Roosevelt's
western trip, is the most startling oc-
currence since he left New York.

ROOSEVELT 4 POSSIBLE CAM
DIDATE.

ton, no politician, must ever support
me Tor anything under the idea that |

politician if he OF il is corrupt. II
either corporation or politician, ifeilhcr
one or the other helps at any time to
put me in a position Of influence, let
them remember that if they benefit by
it themselves they help me at their
peril, for 1 will hurt them il ] get the
chance. "
Mr. Roosevelt especially warned the
men of the FIVE brotherhoods Of rail
way employees that it should be their
duty to see that their organizations
we're managed in obedience to law, and
he insisted that if they should ever in
dulge in any lawless action or violence
the result would be to injnre them in
the estimation OF the American people.
He advocated a workingman's COM
pensation act as measure OF justice
for railway employees who are injured

kenny clash last night at political

rougher treatment.
