PARIS FEARS MORE
STREET CAVE-INS
Blame Underground Works
Trouble Along Course
of Old Branch of Seine.
TBy cable 10 Tyhe Trrbune !


Paris, Juno 2o.--Parisians who have been
ewsd by the series Of extraordinary
cAve-ins OF the streets during the week
are now seeking to fix tho responsibility
and at the same time are wondering II
these accidents will not become the regu-
lar thing, owing TO the nature OF the sub
soil and the extensive underground con-
structIon. Paris is declared to be honey
combed with conduits, catacombs. sewers,
etc. TO the extent Of one-third Of Its sur
fece, while tho network OF the subway
railroads has added to the strain.
A model Of the underground works in
Paris, which might be considered as typi-
cal Of the conditions generally shows at
enc section of the city a total OF eleven
tunnels for the underground railways
sewers, conduits and other sub-surface
necessities. 1t is this extensive work that
has caused many to feel that some parts
of the city, particularly where these
mains, etc, are laid. are none too secure
The question is being asked, what VIII
be done to avoid similar catastrophes|
Indeed the matter has already been
brought TO the attention Of Parliament,
ard the Socialists, always ready to seize
seine pretext TO attack the government
did not on this occasion overlook the OPP
portunity to make political capital out OF
the misfortune.
Some engineers are inclined to attribute
the falling in of the streets to lack OF
precautions when the underground rail-
way construction was begun, However,
the opinion as to exactly what caused the
catastrophe is as greatly diversified now
as at the time Of the first accident, and 1t
is thought that only an extensive inquiry
and investigation, which las already be-
gun, will reveal the true causes and result
In ample protection against a recurrence.
II Is curious to note that all the sub
sidences took place along the ancient bed
of a branch Of the Seine, which in al
most prehistoric times left the existing
channel near the Austerlttz Bridge, meet
irg II again at the Alma Bridge. 1t is said
that this low level section Of Paris is par
ticularly friable and susceptible to inill-
tration. Every new movement OF the soil
row arouses alarm, but the worst is over.

[By Cable 70 The Tribune. ]

Milan, Italy, June 9o-As a result OF a
circular from the State Department in
Washington American consuls In Europe
are on the watch for military and naval
information. In many instances naval
and military attaches have been badly
beaten on information that should be re-
ported to Washington.
When queried on the subject, soma at
taches replied that 1t was impossible TO
cover every field. AS a consequence, the
State Department has circularized all the
European consulates, requesting American
officials to watch for information OF SER
vice to the army and navy, and adding
that all expenses incurred In securing
such information would be paid by the
State Departments.

Toxic, May 30.-The recent announce

this uneasiuess. "Nichi-Nichi," one Of

NAME BISMARCK CHOSEN
Kaiser's Word Awaited for New
German Liner.

Hamburg, June 20-Emperor william
to-day conferred the name OF Bismarck,
chosen by himself, on the third vessel Of
the Imperator class, which was launched
for the service OF the Hamburg-America
Line. The new steamer is almost an ex-
act reproduction of the Vaterland, but
she is slx feet longer and has two more
boilers. Her plans call for speed Of
22le knots, but she is expected by her
constructors to do better than this.
The greatest secrecy was preserved in
regard to the name until the moment Of
launching. as 1t had been left to the
Emperor to choose what abe should be
called. The choice of the name Bis
marck will entail the remaining Of one
OF the older steamers OF the line. The
Bismarck will be ready for commission in
about fifteen months,
According to cable advices received yes
terday at the local Office OF the Hamburg
American Line the launching Of the Bis
marck was a success in every detail. Had
Il not been for the presence OF mind Of the
German Emperor the bottle Of champagne
thrust at the bow Of the vessel would not
have been broken. The Countess Hanna
Bismarck. eldest granddaughter OF Prince
Bismarck. did not put enough force into
her thrust at the steamships bow and
the naming bottle failed 10 break.
The vessel, which had begun TO move
rapidly, did not get away from the En-
peror, however. who, Selling the bottle.

plates near the waterlins.

Neither is it thought that Mr.
Oleson will lose anything on the
checks that were in the other
registered package. They were
being sent to the bank for col
lection and as soon as their loss
was known payment on them was
stopped and they will only prove
so much worthless paper in the
hands of the robbers.
The two inspectors called at
the Record Office in regard to the
article that appeared in yester-
days Spokesman-Review which
they characterized as false and
without foundation. If they have
any clues as to the perpetrators
they are not giving them away
for publication, but they stated
that from what.couId be gathered
it seemed to have been the work
of not less than three men.
They stated that the govern
ment had a standing reward OF
$3.50 for the arrest and convic
ton of any postofiice robber and
if they were right in their belief
that there were three men engag-
ed in the robbery it would make
the reward offered by the gov
ernment $3.50. In addition tC
this the insurance company haC
a standing reward of ten pei
cent of the amount recovered fol
the recovery of any money los
in any insured registered pack
age.

Two postofllce in p ectors,

was in currency made up as fol-
lows: $4,000. in registered pack
age, Si6O.77 postal savings,

postal savings certificates and a
registered package containing
S333.7O in checks sent by Arthur
Oleson of Herrick to the Lum-
bermans State Bank for collec-

The robbers could not have
chosen a better time for their

tanning $4,000 in currency and the
other the checks came in on Sun
