AK OLD FEEDER BEING PIERCED Is Thought to Hive Beleased the bubtle Fluid Which Exploded. THE CORONER AWAITS DEVELOPMENTS Pottsttlle, July 23. A frightful ex plosion occurred on the York Farm colliery about 11 o'clock to-day, by -which eight men are known to have been killed out right, two died afterward from the injuries, and it is believed that three more have also suffered the sme fate. At this writing the known killed are as follows: John Harrison, of 'Wadesville (fire boss), leaves -wife and three or four children; Thomas Jones, Minersville, caipenter, rnai rled: Han y Jones., son of Thomas, simile; William Wehman.Sow Castle stieet, Miners Tille: James Haitzel, Llewellyn; Anthony Stock, hoy, les broken and burned, died arteiwaid; Henry iladara, badly burned, died afterwaid. There are believed to be three more among the killed George Bright, single, Treniont, boards in Pottsville; Herman "Werner, St. Clair, -wife and seven or eight children; Anthony Gutchlavage, Pole, wid ower. The injured are: Thomas Landis, rishback. badly burned: Robert Allott and son, of Pottsville; George Slack, Yorkville, married, leg broken and burned; Edward Curran, Tottsvllle. lhe Scenes After 111? Disaster. The explosion completely closed the gangway, with several cars which were on the track. At 10 o'clock several men were known to be closed in, but how many or what the extent ol their injuries was impos sible to ascertain. The scene at the colliery has been one ol the greatest excitement. Hun dreds of men, women and children are gathered about the mouth of the slope, waitinc for the tidings of loved ones, who may be either dead or mangled in the work'ngs. Officials cannot tell how many men were overtaken by the disaster, as the confusion attendant upon incidents of this nature is so great. It is estimated, however, that there were fully 30 men en gaged in close proximity to the scenes of the explosion. Rescuing parties have been at work all the aiternoon, at the great risk of their own lives, lorcing their way to the lace of the tunnel where the explosion occurred, with the hope that some unfortunate may have escaped instant destruction, and also with a set determination to brin; out the bodies ot the three missing men. As this cannot be accomplished without building brattices as the debris is removed, the work is neces sarily slow, and it will require many hours before the face of the tunnel is reached. A Kescnln- Crew of Picked Men. The rescuing party is composed of bosses and the mdst experienced miners in the company's employ, and all possible speed is being exerted by them. One miner, who was engaged near bv, is still missing. Christian Hornicker, of St Clair, and it is feared now that he is also killed. Anthony Stock, who was among the in jured, died shortly after reaching his home. George Stock, his brother, aged 23, is in a critical condition. He is a young married man. Harry Madara, among the injured, died this evening. He is about 32, with a family of three children. The other in jured will probably recover. The cause of the explosion is not definite ly settled, but the only plausible explana tion given by experienced men who are ac quainted with the work, is that a "feeder" which had become filled with gas was struck while tunneling, and thus released, the gas ignited from the salety lamps. The workings of the first lift are in a sad condition. The tunnel and gangways in different sections are filled with debris, and it will take many days to clear it away. Loaded mine wagons are wedced crosswise in the gangways and rocks. Timbers and debris are so piled upon them that the rescuers have hard work making their way to the front. The ITxploslon as Heard in the Mine. Workmen in distant parts of the mine say the noise and force of the explosion were terrible. Men 500 yards away were thrown to the cround. As soon as entrance could be made to the mine, numberless volunteers offered their services, but none but the most tried were selected, and they at once set to work. The first brought to the surface were the injured. Preparations had previously been made, and the requisite materials were on hand for their speedy relie Physicians at once took them in charge, and all that medical skill can accomplish is being done. The body of Thomas Jones, of .Minersville, was recovered in the tunnel and brought to the surface at 3:30, and it is expected his companions, Harryison and Hartzell, will be reached in a few hours. Coroner Golden impaneled a jury, who have reviewed the remains of the unfor tunate dead, and they have now adjourned to await further developments. York Farm colliery is owned and oper ated by the Lehigh Valley Coal Company and the Philadelphia and Beading Railroad Company, lessees. Four years ajo the Lehizh Company purchased three workings, which at that time and for 40 years previous had been abandoned and were filled with water. Several millions of dollars have already been expended by this company in cleaning the abandoned gang ways ot water, retimberir.g and in driving tunnels to intersect the different rein, and great !uceess has rewarded their efforts. Ignited IVoin n Safety Lamp. The rik in the contention with gas, which exists in great quantities in operations once abandoned, has been great, and many mine explosions Lave occurred in the past few years by which miners working at this jils.ee have been seriously injured, and a lew instances where death has followed; but this accident ii beyond all parallel In this mine arc many small counter gang ways, some of which are not so readily cleared of gas, and in some cases old gang ways long abandoned, called leaders, exist, which have been closed lor years, and in which immense quantities ol gis have ac cumulated. Safety lamps, which are used entirely in these workings, were of no avail, and it was Irom one oi these "safeties" the gas was exploded. jl L-ase of Life for Jlnrder Maier. Wheeling, July 23. criaZ. This evening a supersedeas was received from the clerk of the Supreme Court ot Appeals directing that the Sheriff shall not hang William Maier, the wife murderer, until the highest court nas passed upon his case. As the Supreme Court does not meet till September, Maier cannot be hanged August 5 as sentenced. The appeal is based ou the cla.ni that the Circuit Court erred in refus ing Maier time to secure evidence in Ger many as to his insanity. Martin Iteed Located ntLnst. Washington, Pa., July 23. Special jLirtin Iteed, the condemned poisoner of Alex Chappek, and escaped jail-bird, has at last been definitely located, and it now will be a matter of only a few hours until he is captured. At a late hour this evening Sheriff McCherry reeeived a telegram from Detective WroMcBride in which it was stated that he had seen Reed enter a house in Mechanicsville, and that he would stand guard over the dwelling until the Sheriff arrived with a posse. Immediately upon receiving the telegram the Sheriff formed a posse of 25 men and started for Mechanicsville. STILL IN THE BALANCE. Tha S-nate Judiciary Committee Meets tint Takes 'o Action ou the Shiras Nomina tion . Rartlc.il Measure That Slay Be .Adopted Very Shortly. Washington, July 23. The Judiciary Committee of the Senate managed to get a quorum and a meeting this morning. The same six members who were present yester day again attended the session to-day. Con trary to expectation, final action was not taken on the nomination of George Shiras, Jr., to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, and the committee, after discussing the matter for half an hour, adjourned to meet Monday. The attitude of the Democratic members of the committee has not yet been lully defined, and it is impossible to say how they will vote upon the question ot report ingthe nomination to the Senate favorably, or whether they will permit any report to be made. It may be noted in this connection that the Senate, by a majority vote, may at any time discharge the committee from farther consideration of the nomination, and take the matter in its own hands Among the conservative Senators, however, there is of course a strong disposition to adopt this radical course, except in an emergency, and it i not likely to be done immediately, in view of the fact that the friends of Mr. Shiras feel a growing confidence in their ability to secure favorable action upon the nomination. A WOKSE FASCINE IN SIGHT. Crops in Northern Mexico a Total Failure for Four Mioorsslve Year. Eagle Pass, Tex., July 2a Northern Mexico is again confronted with a total crop failure. Summer rains, which have been anxiously expected, have not come. In spots there have been good rainfalls, as in Durango, Coahula, Chihuahua and Jfeuvo Leon, but they have been isolated and in sufficient. Four years' consecutive crop failures are unprecedented, even in droughty Mexico, and a large number of inhabitants are confronted with grave con ditions. Farms in the best districts of Mexico are lying idle, and laborers who depend upon agriculture for existence are left without employment. Laborers are working on new roa'is in Mexico at 50 cents a day, equal to 34 cents American money, and with this amount they feed themselves. Corn, their principal article of food, costs them 42 cents a peck. Many ot these laborers have large families to support ou these meager wages, and they are considered fortunate in being able to secure employment at any price. The same conditions prevail in counties of Texas this side ot the Bio Grande. SALVATIONISTS AT CHAUTAUQUA, Commander Balllagton Hooth Keoelves a Corillnl Welcome lu the Classic 'hid-. Chautauqua, K.

Bishop Vincent, in his introduction, paid a fine tribute to the work of the Salvation ists. 3jt. Booth's address was lis tened to most attentively, and he was frequently interrupted by enthusiastic applause. His address was somewhat like all those made by himself and his illustrious father. His presence in Chautauqua is an evidence that the Salva tion Armv worK is being more favorably received by churchmen all over the country. A band concert and exhibition of bicycling furnished this evening's amusement. Mr. Maltby, the rider, is certainly an expert, aud his difficult feats excited much spirited applause. This evening, at the prize pronunciation match, the first prize waB won by Miss M. E. Scott, of Tuscaloosa, Ala., and second prize by Miss Jennie Ware Brown, of Rochester, N. Y. The contest was quite a spirited one. ONE KOBE PATTI FABEWELL. This Time the Fair Songstress Is to Get Jnst 83,000 a Nichr. BY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. London, July 2a For three weeks Marcus Mayer aud Henry E. Abbey have been contesting with each other for the management of another Patti farewell tour in America. Majer arrived in London from Craig-y-Nos to-day, bringing with him a signed contract whereby Patti agrees to sing under his management in 40 concerts in America, beginning in Hew York on November 10, at the cheerful price of 5,000 per concert One of the clauses in the contract rends: "Marcus It.

The Hen Orderlj and Refuse to Dis cuss Homestead Troubles. A QUIET MERTING IN TDRHERHALL Manj Mill Men Accepted If the Amalga mated .Association. AN OFFICER IN THE UIL.LS FOE A WEEK Thero is but little change in affairs at Duquesne. The mills aro practically de serted and everything is as it was left on Friday evening by the Homestead sympa thizers. The men refrain from discussing the situation aud there is nothing to indicate trouble. Tho affairs of the mill men havo been con ducted with secrecy, and their action was a surprise to the Carnegie Company as well as to everyone else. The mills at Duquesne were presumably non-union and were oper ated by 750 non-union men. Ever since the Homestead lookout the men have been holding secret meetings daily to discuss the Homestead trouble and talk of past griev ances. The men are very reserved and re fuse to discuss their affairs with any out siders. The secret meetings hereafter will be held in the Turners' Hall. One was held there yesterday, and William A. Carney, of Pittsbur-r, Vice President of the Amalga mated Association, and a member of the American Federation of Labor, was elected president pro tern. The priucipal work of the meeting was the acceptance of new members Into tne Amalgamated Associa tion. Denied Handling Men Roughly, Several oommlttcoi were appointed,aniong which was one to attend to all business with press representatives, The first work of thin committee was to inform reporters that there was no news for tho public, except that they wished to deny the re ports that men who wished to go to work had been molested and roughly handled. The committee asserted that the strikers have quietly attended to their own afialrS and interfered with no one, and more than that no one has yet attempted to go to work. Superintendent Morrison had nothing to say, and had no idea when the mills would be started. President Carney informed a Dispatch reporter that they had accepted all mill workers into the Association who had not previously joined. He ha person ally been among the men at the Duquesne mills for the last week. Promise a Lone, Fieroe Fight. The strikers say the life of the Amalga mated Association depends-upon their suc cess in this struggle, and declare they will make it a long, fierce fight. The American Federation ot Labor will assist the strikers financially if they need it. Yesterday atternoon Sheriff" McClcary had a notice posted in conspicuous places about the mill .warning everybody to go peacefully home and not congregate about the mill. The notice also warned people against interfering with workmen or the operation of the mill by the Carnegie Steel Company. The people paid little attention to them. The first public meeting of the mill men will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock at Duquesne Grove. Addresses will be made on the importance ot organization and the general outlook for the luture. Several prominent members of the Amalgamated Association are expected to be present. A street affray among some quarrelsome Huns was the only exciting event ot the day. A few faces were difigured lor a while but there was nothing serious in the en counter. The strikers did not participate. NO STBIKE AT.M'KEESPOET, So Declare Speakers at a Big Mais Meeting There Last Jf Ight. McKeesport workingmen held a meeting last night and adopted the lollowing: Resolved, That we, the woikingmen of McKeesport, do hereby extend our very earnest sympathy, financially and other wise, to the locked-out men at Homestead and Duquesne in their present trouble. It was signed by Peter Logan, Jonas Cherington and T. E. Fitzgerald. A small meeting was held in the after noon and a mass meeting at night on the public square. Three thousand people as sembled to hear the discussions. Arthur Duffy was Chairman. The first speaker was Harry Brown, of the Homestead works. He said that 900 men, including himself, did not belong to the Amalgamated Asso ciation, and they quit work through sym pathy lor the men affected Tiie speaker of the evening was Jere Dougherty, of this city. He said that or ganizations were composed of both good and bad men but as a whole they were better than one man. The return of gifts to phi lanthropists he didnot consider good policy, it did not further the interests of the labor ing men or the laboring class. George Had field, of Homestead, also made a speech. Peter Logan, representing McKeesport, made the closing address. He said there would be no strike in the McKeesport mills, but that McKeesport would lurnish substan tial aid for the Homestead men. A com mittee from Homestead will next week, with books bearing the seal of McKeesport Lodge, collect funds lor the locked-out men. The news of the attempted killing of H. C Frick caused great excitement in Mc Keesport. WOULDN'T TALK ABOUT H01LESTEAD. VllIl.im Pinkerton Sends n Message of Sym p ithy to Mr. Frlck.- William Pinkerton was a passenger on the limited last evening, bound for Chi cago. He was returning from Washington, where he testified before the Congressional Committee. He had heard about the attempted assassination of Mr. Frick, and said it was a very lamentable affair. He asked for ali the particulars, aud from the reports he was hopeful that the chairman, on account of his rugged consti tution, would pull through. Mr. Pinkerton called for a messenger boy and sent Mr. Frick a message of sympathy. Then Homestead was broached. "Don't talk to me about that town," he replied. "I positively decline to speak about the strike. I made ray statement before the Congres sional Committee." NO TBOUBLE AT BBADD0CK. Workmen fay They Have Signed a Three Tear cale and troSatlffl-d. Braddock, July 2a Special There is no probability of a strike here. There is no talk among- the men about going out, and, while the sympathies ot all ot them are extended to the locked-out men, they are not willing to inaugurate any move ment that would cause them to cease labor. One man said to-night: "The excitement is all on the other side of the river. I don't believe tny action of the Hbmestead and Duquesne men could induce our men to join them in a contest in which we are not directly interested, for we have no organiza tion, and another important fact is we have signed the scale for three years and can't afford to break faith with our employers." THESE WAS LITTLE DIS0EDEB, Deputies Have bat Little Trouble Holding the I'eoplo In Ch-ck. As a rule Saturday nights are very lively in and about Homestead, but last night there proved an exception. The streets were filled with people, bnt there was no THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, " SUNDAY, JULY 24, 1892. f disorder of any kind. Sheriff McCleary's deputies had an easy time of it, and put in most of their time in hobnobbing with the soldiers who are still doing guard duty in the town. EXPRESSIONS OP REGRET. Widespread Sympathy Felt for the iVounded Man and His Family Worh ingmen Denounce the Sho'otin-r and Fear That It Hal Seriously Injured Labor's Cause. Special telegrams to The DlSPATCn from all parts of the State expresa sym pathy for Mr. Frick and his family. They are as follows: Johnstown For weeks all eyes in this iron city have been turned toward Pittsburg, where a vital issue has been waged. This afternoon, when the news of the shooting of H. O. Frick reached here, there was but one sentiment that was universal sorrow that Buoh means had been adopted to gain an end. The stable and thinking element de clares it a mistake,and denies that organized labor had anything to do with the attempt on the life ot H. C. Frick. To-night when late bulletins stated that Mr. Frick would survive the attack, citizens in general de clared themselves as greatly pleased with the news. Bedford Governor Pattison, who is a guest here, when asked about the attempted murder of H. C. Friok, refused to talk. From appearance, like many other guests ot the hotel, he is very much affected by the news. Guests are assembled in groups dis cussing the sad affair. The Governor has been fully advised of the affairs at Home stead and said that he did not anticipate any trouble. Beavek Falls Tho news of the at tempted murder ot Chairman Frick caused intense excitement hero this afternoon. James McCartey, Chairman of the Press Committee of the strikers in the Carnegie mills here, voiced the sentiments of tho men when he said to-night: "The shooting of Mr. Frick is an act to be regretted. Such an act of violence at this time is very inopportune, because we believe we will win anyway, and it would have been a tar more elorious victory had we won without anv such tragic occurrence, I am intensely relieved to learn the assassin is not one of our own men, and what is more he has not affiliated with our men in any way. Most of us are meu of families, and we feel the deepest sympathy for Mr. Frick's wife and family. It is a bad piece of business and I regret that it happened just at this time when victory is in our grasp." Ellwood Many prominent Pittsburg- ers are here located at the Hotel Oliver. The news of the desperate attack on the life of H. C. Frick was received with amazement and doubt. Later, w hen it was known that Mr. Frick was badly hurt, tele grams of inquiry and sympathy poured into Pittsburg from this place. A feeling of thankfulness was expressed that it was no worse. The many friends of Mr. Frick now visiting here are so concerned, how ever, that projected festivities for the even ing have been stopped. Sharon The shooting of H. C Frick set this place wild this afternoon. Hun dreds of iron workers who are idle have been discussing the situation this evening. Bulletin boards are universally sought and every item of news read with interest by hundreds. Braddock The shooting of Mr. H. C. Frick caused tho utmost excitement here. The Braddock National Bank, of which Mr. Frick is a director, was besieged with peo ple, where telephone messages were received every few minu'es. Expressions of regret and sympathy were heard on all hands. DENOUNCED THE ASSASSIN. President Welhe and the Amalgsmited Association Are Much Affcted. When the news that Mr. Frick had been shot and seriously injured reached the headquarters of the Union Mills workers yesterday afternoon, the men were loud in their denunciations of the assassin. Thomas Warren, one of the Press Committee, said: "There is not a mill-worker or laborer in this entire section that does not deeply de plore the shooting of Mr. Frick. During the present trouble at times many peo ple, including disinterested parties, have said when heated with passion that it would be a good thing if Chairman Frick was dead, but I am willing to vager not one of those persons meant what they said, and I do not believe there is one man among the old workmen but that could take a hand in meting out dire punishment to the assassin. Our fight against Mr. Frick is a fair one and we have only em ployed fair means. We never courted for an instant any violence against the officials of the companv." President Weihe, of the Amalgamated Association, was much affected over the news. He said: "It was with the utmost regret that I heard of the shooting of Mr. Fricfc, and I emphatically denounced the actions ot the assailant. He was an assassin at heart and an enemy not only to the country, but to organized labor all over the United States. I hope the greatest punish ment the law allows will be the reward of the dastardly and cowardly assailant ot Mr. Frick." MAHY EZFBESSIONS OF BEGBET. News of the Attempted Assassination Causes 3fo Trouble in Homestead. The news that Henry Clay Frick had been shot and probably fatally wounded reached Homestead shortly after 2 o'clock. It came in the shape of a telegram to one of the members ot the Advisory Committee. The hot day was keeping many people off the street, so the news did not spread as rapidly as it wou)d have under different circum stances. It was lully a half hour before the crowds began to collect before the bulletin boards, but, once started, the people came thick and fast. Soon the pavements in front of the telegraph offices were peopled by crowds of exciied men and women. A member of the Advisory Committee, after gaining the reporter's word that his name would not be used, said: "This is a bad business, a very bad business, and I am at raid it will hurt the cause. Of course, no sensible man will believe for a single in stant that the Amalgamated men would lend themselves to such an infirmous scheme, but our enemies will try hard to distort the facts. Mr. Frick's family has my sympathy and I sincerely hope he will recover. I know the peo ple here are hot and -are talking hashly, but you can hardly blame them." Aside from the sensation created by the news of Mr. Frick's shooting, the people hereabouts put in a comparatively quiet and uneventful day. Late m the afternoon another squad of Sheriff McCleary's special deputies got in from Pittsburg and began the task of policing the borougli, but their presence caused little comment and created no disturbance. When it became generally known that Hugh O'Donnell would have to spend his Sunday in jail, the citizens expressed their regret and said unkind things about the lawyers and Judge.Magee. YOUNGSTO'HN'S SYMPATHY Extended to Homestead Workers at a Meeting. A labor demonstration 'at Youngstown yesterday afternoon was held under the direction of the Amalgamated Association, to take action regarding the affairs at Home stead, Thirteen lodges of the Amalgamated and every labor organization turned out. While the procession was forming a bulle tin announced the shooting ot H. C. Friek, and caused a sensation in the ranks. Tha, iron workers said they did not approve anv personal attack being made upon Mr. Frick to injure his person or take his life. At the lair grounds nearly 12,000 people as sembled. Addresses irere made by mem bers oi the Amalgamated Association and prominent Younstown men including Mayor Miller, Judge King, W. "S. Anderson and others. David Lynch and William Roberts, of Homestead spoke. BEAT ALL THE RECORDS.- A Hungarian Laborer Badly Beaten by the Lnckrd-Ont Men He Then Swims the Blrrr in Seven Minutes and Starts for Pltubarg. At early eventide yesterday a big boned and wild-eyed Hungarian furnished the peo ple of Homestead with a brand new sensa tion. Made mad for the time by fear and pain this unknown stranger from foreign climes accomplished the tremendous feat of swimming across the Monongahela river in record beating time. The novel part of this impromptu exhibition was that he did not take the trouble to disrobe or even remove his heavy hob nailed boots before entering the water. Shortly after 6 in the evening the afore said Hun found himself on the river front just below the whitewashed walls of the ar mor plate mill. He looked for all the world like a workiugman in search of work. All that was visible of his wardrone was a blending of shreds and patches, and when he was aecosted by a party of mill men who were watching for the arrival of non-union men, he showed a lamentable lack of judg ment by giving them a short answer. They told him that they were looking for non union men and desired to know whether or not he had come to Homestead to work in the mills. The big Hun lost his head at this juncture and roughly informed the men that it was none of their business what he did. Tho unhappy foreigner was hustled into a rowboat. 11 o resisted and was roughly handled. When they had started for the opposite shoro he made a second desperate attempt to escape, and for a time it looked as though tho skiff would be capsized. The captive was pounded into semi-insensibility, and when the opposite shore was reached he was in a state of passive limpness. They hustled him to the shore and told him to "get out." The Hun crouched on the sands aud in broken English promised to obey. After giving him a few parting cuffs the locked-outs re-entered the boat and rowed up the river. Then a strange thing hap pened. The Hungarian struggled to his r feet and, with the laugh of a maniac and a volley of curses, started to clamber up the bank. But betore he reached the railroad tracks he heard the report ot a pistol com ing from the wooded bank. He evidently thought that a new enemy awaited him for, with a groan, he turned and rnsbel down the bank to the water. Without a moment's hesitation he dived into the mud-stained waters. He proved to be a marvelously clever swimmer, for despite his heavy clothing and big boots he crossed the river in exactly seven minutes. Once the shore was gained he shook himself like a terrier,and throwing his water soaked coat over his head sprinted down the road, shouting like a mad man. His face was turned toward Pittsburg and no one attempted to stop him. Com paratively few people were on the water front at the time. Who the man was or where he hailed from it is impossible to say. M0BE SHOOTING AT HOMESTEAD. Fourteenth Begimeut Boys Fired on by the Gnurds ac lh Mill FROM A. STAIT COBRESFONDEXT. Homestead, July 24.-2:20 A.M. There were half a dozen shots tired from the camp shortly betore 2 o'clock. The corporal of the guard declined to explain the cause of the firing, but one of the j rivates say that a squad of privates from one ot the companies of the Fourteenth Begiment had attempted to pass the guard line and had been fired on by the sentinel. The shooting awoke the town and created a mild sensation. F0BE3IEBS AT MT. GBETNA. Brilliant Close of tho Second Week ol tho Pennsylvania Chiutnuqoa. Mi.

Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland went fishing to-day on the sound, with Mr. Benedict, on the yacht Oneida. They returned this evening and will spend Sunday in Greenwich. This will be a surprise to many, as it was generally believed that Mr. Cleveland is on his way to Buzzard's Bay. It was a remarkable gathering of people on Mr. Benedict's lawn last evening to greet Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland, a non-partisan, puielv democratic assemblage. As Mr. .Benedict said in his speech introducing Mr. Cleveland, it was a gathering of his friends and neighbors, and everybody in town was included as a neighbor.

Russian Troops Bivouacked In the Streets to Preserve Order. St. Petersburg, July 23. Advicei re ceived here from Saratoffare that troops are bivouacked in the streets there, and are patrolling the town -to suppressing the disorders due to the intense excitement in connection with the cholera. Manv women have been arrested for inch-, iug the mob to violence. The epidemic in Saratoff continuesto grow worse, this condition of affairs being partly due to the excited people drag ging cholera patients from the hospitals during the recent riots and thus, spreading the infection broadcast through the place. This action on the part of the mob was the result of wild rumors current among the inhabitants that persons suffering from the disease were put to death in the hospitals. Despite the presence of the troops in the town the people are in a demoralized condition. Disorders of a sim ilar nature to those which have been pre vailing in Saratoff have occurred in other cholera infected place", and the inhabitants of the village ol Ballakova have demolished a hospital in the face of a guard which bad been detailed to protect the building. NO CHECKS AGAINST CH0LEBA. Kassia's Poor Sanitary Regulations Help less Aealnst the PlMgue. Berlin, Jnly 2a The advance of cholera toward the Bussian frontier absorbs the at tention of the public. Concurrent advices from various points in Russia afford little hope that the epidemic will be stayed.

These regulations exist on paper, but are rarely carried out. There are no signs of sanitary arrange ments in the streets, residences or lodging house. The quarantine regulations are neglected, and healthy travelers are con stantly brought into contact with persons thronging from infected places at railway stations and on steamboats and quays. German medical men state that they fiud the hospital arrangements detective. CANADA BEGINS TO TUMBLE. At Last She Awakens to the Fact That Cnole Sam Isn't Itlafflnsr. Montreal, July 2a Special The proposed retaliatory measure by the United States against Canada for discriminative rates imposed on Americans using the Welland Canal has created a great deal of alarm among the business men of the com mercial metropolis of the Dominion. The first impression was that the proposals were (simply a bluff, and that the President was using the question lor election purposes, but now that both branches of Congress have taken the question seriously in hand, business men are beginning to realize that it is a serious matter, and that it may be at tended with grave consequences to the Do minion. Many business men here express the opinion that the Tory Government at Ottawa, on account of its hostility to the Americans, is to blame for the whole diffi culty. Level-headed business men declare that the trouble would never have happened had the rebate been allowed to Ogdensburg transhipment, and no charges been made in the St. Lawrence Canal on grain, via Ogdensburg. The Tories, how ever, never learn anything. Even in the present grave crisis their papers continne to express hostility to the United States. The Montreal Oavttt, one of the leading organs of the Government, to-day practical ly suggests that American vessels should be shut out of the Welland Canal. NEW YOBS SEEN FBOK ABOVE.
