Deriments in starting from the water
and landing on the water in his hy-

some more flying around the New

which was towed by a tug out into
the river from the foot of West Twen-

SHIPPING BILL

NEW YORK. August 5.-Every
steamboat inspector in the harbor was
ii work today seeking out pa senger
vessels which had not complied with
the new rules of the Department of
Commerce and Labor calling for the
installation Of more lifeboats and safe
t. belts than had Eeen carried PRIOR
to the sinking Of the Titanic. Mid
night, last night, marked the end OF
the month when had been allowed tie
steamboat owners to comply with the
more Strigent rules, and those boats
which were found today whose own
ers had failed to toe the mark set by
the Department were marked. Their
captains and owners must appear TO
explain or TO be told that they cannot
longer carry the full number of pas
;engers that their former licenses en-
titled them to carry.
According to Capt. Henry S. Seeley,
chief of the steamboat Inspection Ser
vice, these is little likelihood that
many owners will appear before him
to be told that their licenses have
been curtailed. In fact, the chief in
spector felt so confident today that
the new rules of the Washington Of
ice had been complied with that he
asserted that there was not an import
ant excursion or ferry boat plying the
waters of the harbor, the Hudson. or
the East River which was now unsafe
Each one of them, he felt certain, had
fulfilled the orders of his inspectors
regarding changes, covered both by the
Did and new rules. Nevertheless he
sent all the men of his department
out early to scout for any vessels
which might have left undone the
things ordered to be done. -
Had to Modify Rule. -
Fully so per cent. of the excursion
boats and ferries hereabouts had been
affected by the new rules, and had
oeen ordered by Capt Seeley to m
crease their life-saving equipment or
reduce the maximum number of pas
sengers which they might carry. Halt
the boats under the Jurisdiction OF

Chinese Loan.

Shanghai, Sept. 1S.-Representa-
tives of the foreign financial inter-
ests which have hitherto regarded
China as their private monopoly
showed much perturbation today at
the news that the first installment OF
the S5O,OOO,OO0 loan arranged for by
the mysterious American, A. Wendell
Jackson, actually was being paid TO
the Pekin government.
The "six power group, with its
official diplomatic backing, had count
ed, sooner or later, on starving the
new republic into accepting its terms
for a loan-terms which would not
only have netted the bankers an eno''-
nous financial profit but would Writ !
ally have given them control of the
government.
When the government demurred the
group sat back to wait. An unofficial
Belgian syndicate which attempted
some time ago to break into the STU
alton was successfully scared OFT. Be
inp unknown, Jackson, was not taken
serious at first and by the time the
group realized the danger, it was an
nounced that the transaction was
closed and the money being paid.

Lucius Williams, colored, was az"
rested early last night by Officer

Henry Twyman, colored, near the IN
tersection of Gibbon and Pitt streets.
Williams was brought before the Po-
lice Court this morning, when ivy
man, whose right eye was closed and
the top of his head cut, alleged that
the accused had made an unprovok-
ed assault upon him after having
met him in saloon. Williams, who
is a one-legged man, had used one
of his crutches upon Twyman's era
mum. Williams, in his defense, al
legged that Twyman made 1t appear
as though he was about to draw a
weapon from his pocket, and ne used
his crutch in self-defense. The ac-
cused was fined $50. This was the
only case before the court.

,4,,uerica. Without detracting from
the work of Civic Leagues, which,
he declared, had performed q great
amount of good in awakening pccflc
to realization of the need of public
improvements, he said that we were
prone to rely too much upon voluntary
efforts. Large, substantial results
can only be gained from official sour
ces. The second point was that we
make mistake in not appreciating
the achievements which have been ac-
complished by our city officials. We
otter see the faults but do not appre-
ciate the results which have be.n ac-
complished by long years of effort
on the part of our city engineers and
administration boards Third, W. lack
civic pride, and point out and magnify
the black spots and fail to take pride
in the commendable things that have

Mr. Nolen stated that there were
three points which should be consider
ed when contemplating civic improve
ments; first, that beauty and use are
inseparable; second, that the work en-
dures from generation to generation
and third, that they are democratic
done by all for all.
The lecture proper was commenced
with a view showing the new union
station in Washington which Mr.. No
len declared was a practical example
OF utility combined with beauty. MI.
N len showed a large number of very
beautiful and interesting views of
various phases of city development
An interesting comparison was made
between the cities Of American and
Germany, much to the disadvantage
of the former.

Appalling Accident.

Sixteen persons were killed and 80
injured by the derailment last night
of the express from Chester to Liver
pool at Ditton Junction, s miles from
Liverpool. The train had passed over
the long bridge spanning the MerSeY,
and was running Gown the incline
leading to the junction when, at the
cross-over points, the engine jumped
the rails and crashed into the buttress
of bridge spanning the line. The
coupling of the car next the engine
parted, and the train Of nine care sped
on to the station.
The leading cars crashed into the
platform with terrific force, and were
wrecked One car was overturned
and caught fire, and was soon con-
sumed.
Several bodies in this car were Gre
mated Some of the injured were res
cued from windows.
The engine driver was crushed to
death and the fireman had both legs
broken. He was pinned under the 10
comotive for two hours.
The work of extricating the dead
and injured by the light of bonfircs
was continued until late hour. All
the passengers in the first two cars
were killed. The fourth car became
a roaring furnace and the terrible
cries of the injured and appeals for
help, together with the difficulty in
taking the passengers from the wreck
are, caused narrowing scenes.
Several of the bodies still are uni

As ASSAULTED
President of Lower House
of Hungarian Diet is
Knocked Down.
DUELS WILL FOLLOW.
Wild Scenes on the Floor-Two Humid
red Police Reserves are Guarding
Members of the Body. =.

Budapest, Sept. 1S.-Political op-
ponents assaulted Count Tisza, presi-
dent Of the Lower House Of the Hun
garian Parliament, and the Minister
of Commerce when they arrived at
the Chamber today. They were in
suited, slapped, and finally knocked
down before the police succeeded in
rescuing them. Duels undoubtedly
will follow.
On the chamber floor the widest
scenes were enacted. Members who
favor universal suffrage were only al
lowed to enter accompanied by 10 men
under orders to shoot those on the ag-
eressive. Two hundred police re-
serves were on duty outside to rein
force the members escorts in case Of
necessity. Despite these precautions
there was almost continual fighting.
Count Tsiza received letter from a
radical member warning him that as
sembly chamber will be set on fire if
he attempts to have it cleared.
Bloody rioting seems inevitable at
tonight's street demonstration in sup
port of universal suffrage. The gov
ernment has tried to prohibit it but
the socialists say they will disregard
all such orders.
Fighting was resumed on the floor
of the chamber soon after the opening
of the session. Desks were smash
ed and splinters, Of them served as
clubs. Bruised eyes and bloody noses
were the rule within a few minutes.
In desperation Count Tsiza finally
summoned police reinforcements. The
riotous radicals greeted the news with
ieers, swearing to hold the chamber
against any odds.
