repcit of the breaking hog chains
and crash of timbers was heard for
some distance away
Nc one seemed to know positively
the name Of the negro known to have
gonc down with the boat and it is
probable that his body will never BE-
recovered as it is said the rock has
covered him.
The laborers who were at work on
q barge adjoining the one that sank
say the negro was known only TO
them as Red" There is said to be
another negro missing, whose name
could not be learned.
Edgar Schoville was down in the
hold OF the barge, caulkirg. when he
heard creaking of the timbers aud
saw that the water was rushing in
upon flm with terrific sped. He
scarcely had time to get out Of the
hold before the barge plunged be-
meath the water.
Immediately after sinking the
barge began to break M and pieces
OF wreckage kept coming to the sur
face for an hour CT more after the
accident, strewing the river with
debris.
The loss Of the barge and rock is
estimated TO be about $4,000 This
'ock is brought from the parret9
line Guarrios a short distance up the
Cumberland rivcr This lot was
soon to be taken to the Eads jetties
to be used in mattress work At
this stage of the river the barges
cannot be loaded to their capacity
until they reach Cairo and it was
this reloading process from one barge
to the other that caused the breaking
OF the hog chains. Had the gang
of seven negroes at work carrying

they would have gone down with it..
1t Just happened that most of them
were getting their load. There were
half dozen barges of rock adjoining

Mexico City, July 22.---Prospccts
for the peaceful termination OF the
tangled situation here grew brighter
with the announcement from Car

negotiations with Provisional Presf-
dent Carbajal for the transfer of the
government to the Constitutionalists
were proceeding favorably."
The advance guard of General Al
varo 0bregon's force of 5000 Con-
stitutionalsts is within an hours
ride Of the capital where ii is as
sembllng for a peaceful advance on
Mexico City.
The impression prevailed here that
the next session in the Chamber of
Deputies will be that of the mem
ters Of the Madero congress which
was dissolved by General Huerta
last October.
Tho majority of the Madero con-
eressmen are gathered here await
ing the sanction of General Carranza
to reassemble and select provision
nj president to succeed Carbajal and
to hold office until a general election
can be held.
The i4nerta congress hfs taken
no steps toward voluntary dissolu-
lion or resignation but such step
Is considered unnecessary as the
term Of office of the Madero con
eressmen will not terminate until

facd as the defender OF Capt. Drey-

the trial of Nine. Caillaux for the
murder of CASTOR Calmettc.
Prosecutor Herbaux, on behalf OF
the government, declared in open
court that the alleged Agadir docu-
ments duplicating Caillaux in a
scandal in connection with Moroccan
affairs did not exist. A domonstra-
ton on the part of friends of tn
dead editor followed,
Counsel representing the Calmette
interests protested violently, declar-
ing the trial was becoming a polit-
ical whitewashing for Caillaux"
Labori had demanded just before
adjournment yesterday that the
prosecutor state whether papers
wero in existence attacking the
honor Of Caillaux and declaring he
would withdraw from the case un-
less an answer was forthcoming.
He accepted the statement of Her
baux. and Caillaux returned to the
stand.
Defends Patriotism
The former Prime Minister Wig
orously defended his patriotism.
He challenged anyone to show that
he had ever acted with any thought
other than for the glory and ad-
vancement of the republic. AS Gail
laux proceeded in the defense Of his
political acts and denouncing the
measures taken in the attacks upon
him, those in the courtroom were
reused to feverish excitement.
There We're cheers mingled with
Kisses and hostile manifestations
against the witness.

was on she stand Nine. Caillaux
hardly took her eyes off him. Every
gesture was followed as he defended
his own acts and defied his enemies.

chase of the revolver with which
she shot Calmette were taken up to-
day when Fromentin, a clerk of

CRITICS AND GENIUS.
Carlyle Denounced Spencer, and RISE
kin RidicuIed Whistler.

Carlyle Denounced Spencer, and F3us.
kin RidieuIed Whistler.
The good critic must in some way
begin by accepting literature as 1t is.
just as the good lyric poet must begin
by accepting life as it is. He may be
as full Of revolutionary and reforming
theories as he likes, but he must not
allow any Of these to come like q
cloud between him and the sun, moon.
and stars of literature. The man who
d1sparages the beauty Of flowers and
birds and love and laughter and cour-
age will never be counted among the
lyric poets. and the man who questions
the beauty of the inhabited world the
imaginative writer's have made-a
world as unreasona BILE In it's loneliness
AZ the world Of nature-is not in the
way of becoming critic Of literature
Another argument which tells in IA
vor Of the theory that the best crit
icism is praise is the fact that almost
all the memorable examples of critical
folly have been denunciations. One
remembers that Carlyle dismissed
Herbert Spencer as never ending
ass" One remembers that Byron
thought nothing of Keats-Jack Ketch,
as he called him. One remembers that
the critics damned Wagners operas as
a new form of sim One remembers
that Ruskin denounced one of Wits
tiers nocturnes as pot of paint flung
in the face Of the British public. In
the world of science we have thou
sand similar examples Of new genius
being hailed by the critics as folly and
charlatanry.-Robert Lynd in British
Review.
