an executive meeting of the machin-
lists union yesterday at Naval Lodge
Hall, Washington. The gathering
was closed one, but it was after

upon was to proceed carefully and
not to encourage a strike until Pres

matter of raising the mems wages
now rests has given judgement.

ANOTHER
HORROR

nouncing that Chicago excursion
steamer had capsized at her wharf
causing the death of about three nun
dred persons. The captain of TIE III
fated boat confidently asserted that
not more than twenty five people had
been drowned or crushed to death.
When the gruesome facts were as
certained, however, it was found that
fifteen hundred persons had lost their
lives, whole families having persisted
in the waters of the Chicago river
The cause of the accident is not
clear at present, although several
theories have been advanced. 1t Is
known, however, that the steamer WAS
overcrowded, which tells the story In
few words.
This terrible disaster, following so
closely in the wake of other marine
horrors, has appalled, the country.
But year has elapsed since the
steamer Empress of Ireland was sunk
in a collision in the St. Lawrence
river and about one thousand persons
drowned. Less than three months
ago the Cunarder Lusitania was des
troyed by submarine and equally
as many more helpless passengers
found watery graves.
The Titanic diasaster is but little
more than three years old. At least
one thousand human beings delivered
up their lives in the icy waters OF
the North Atlantic on that occasion.
After such horrors there is for a
time care exercised by officials and
officers of steamboat lines to mini
mize danger, but it is not long before
careless conditions resume their for
mer sway. The burning of the excur-
sion steamer General Slocum on Long
Island Sound and within a stones
throw of the shore, caused the death
of one thousand or more persons,
who were members and friends of d
Sunday school. The captain was sent
to the penitentiary and more strin-
gent laws passed as safeguards to
travellers by water. Saturdays &C
cident, however, shows there is still
danger on the water.
There have been comparatively few
marine horrors on the Potomac. Back
in the thirties the steamer Union
plying between Alexandria and the
opposite Maryland shore, exploded her
boiler, causing the death of a number
of persons. The boiler Of the Wash
ington ferry steamer James Guy ex-
ploded while she was lying at her
wharf foot of King street in 1860.
But one person was killed on that oc-
casion. In 1873 the steamer Wawa-
set was burned near Maryland Point
and nearly one hundred persons were
drowned or burned to death. Five
wears later the steamer Express, run
ming between Alexandria and Baltl-
more, was lost off Point Lookout and
nearly score of persons were drown
ed.
At this season of the year eXcur-
sion steamers pass up and down the
Potomac loaded to their fullest capa-
city. They often careen and APP
parently stagger when moving away
from our wharves. Proper precautions
on the lines of safety will be taken
doubtedless for short time, but. as
is always the case, when people cease
to talk of the latest horror, thought
lessness will doubtless be as much III
evidence as ever.
