Before the riot had been quelled several policemen had been seriously injured by the in- turiated women and one of the rioters had been arrested. For several days physicians of the board of health have been examining the eyes and throats of the pupils. A contaglous affection of the eyes had spread from the homes of the Italians in the vicinity of the school and the doctors were, directed to make an in- vestigation to learn the cause and to exterminate the disease. First Force of Police Routed. Many of the pupils, upon going to their homes, told thelr parents that the “murder doctors” wanted to cut their throats and frenzy that does not ; listen to reason spread among the mothers of the puplls. They decided to make an finvestigation in a hodv I v l and marched to thé schiool building 1,500 strong. Teachers who were warned of the approaching trouble locked the doors and windows of the building and sent a call for assistance to a nearby police station. When po- lice arrived the women turned upon them, tore their clothes, scratched their faces and put them to rout be- fore a detall of fifteen more officers reached the scene. When the rein- forcements came nearly one hour was required to drive the rioters from the square. As a result of the trouble it was announced that the examination by the health officers’in the public schools will be temporarily discontinued. RUSSIAN MAIL TRAIN ROBBED.

HAlF MlllmN DAMAGE :AR&HIPS To sE_ THEE AN TERRIFIC EXPLOSION OF GAS OC- CURS IN NEW SUBWAY AT PHILADELPHIA. SURROUNDING PROPERTY DAMAGED BCARCELY A BUILDING DIUS OF SEVERAL BLOCKS ESCAPES INJURY, IN RA- Philadelphia, Oct. 6—A terrific ex- plosion of illuminating gas in the sub- way of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company, under construction at Sixth and Market streets, resulted in the death of seven men, the injuring of about a dozen others and caused prop- erty damage that will run into the thousands™ of dollars. Besides the seven men that are known to be deai it is said that at least three others are buried under tons of earth in the wrecked subway. The explosion occurred shortly be- fore 7 o'clock and in consequence of the early hour but a few workmen had gathered. The explosion was caused by a leak in a city gas main that lhad been improperly repaired. The escaping gas formed in a pocket in the subway and it is believed that a workman carrying a lamp into the great hole ignited the gas. The corner of Sixth and Market streets is one of the busy sections of the city, but there was fortunately little traffic there when the explosion occurred. About a dozen workmen were gathered near a large derrick and five men are be- lieved to have been in the subway. Victims Blown Long Distance. The force of the exploston wrecked the subway for half a block and all the heavy timbering and other struc- tural work, including tons of earth, fel into the excavation. Several of the workmen who were standing near the derrick were blown across the street and either killed or injured and a number of pedestrians were hurt by falling glass and ‘signs from -the tall business houses on both sides of Market and Sixth streets, While the damage done to the sub- way, to the city’s gag and water mains and the electric light and telephone conduits is considerable it will not compare with the destruction wrought to surrounding property. From Fifth street to Seventh street on Market street and for half a square on Sixth street both north ‘and south of Market street not a whole panec of glass is left. All the large plate glass win- dows were broken and thousands of dollars’ worth.of goods in the show windows were damaged. Dozens cf signs were torn from the roofs and walis of buildings and it is considered remarkable that no more persons were killed. FIVE KIiLLED; SCORE INJURED. Military Special Collides With Pas: senger Train. Lansingburgh, N. Y. Oct. 6.—Five passengers were killed outright and a 8core were injured in a rearend col- lision between a regular passenger train and a military special on the Boston and Maine railroad. The passenger train was about one hour late and was walting at Lansing- burgh for a chance to get into the Troy depot. Without any warning the special came thundering along with elghteen cars and crashed into the passenger train, smashing the last two Pullmans like eggshells. Both oars rolled down the embankment. Soldiers of the four troops of the Fourteenth - United States cavalry, bound from Fort Ethan Allen to em- bark for Cuba at Newport News, quickly got to work to rescue the in- Jured. Engmeer Thomas Holleran of the special, who lives in Troy, immediate- ly surrendered himself to the police. He was locked up and would make no statement. NURSE WEDS MILLIONAIRE. Groom Is First Vice President of To- bacco Trust, New York, Oct. 6.—It has just be- come known that:Charles E. Halliwell, first vice president of the American Tobacco company, was married Tues- day to Miss Ruth Alice Cole, a trained nurse, who attended him through a long illness a few months ago. Last year Mr. Halliwell became ill through overwork. He underwent an operation and afterward was put in the care of Miss Cole. She nursed him back to health and afterward he seems to have found that he could not do without her. In the American Tobacco company Mr. Halliwell is second in importance to James B. Duke. His wealth has been estimated at $20,000,000. Three Children' Burned to Death, Portland, Me,, Oct. 6.—Three of the seven children in the family of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Vance of this city were burned to death in a fire caused by the explosion of a lamp, Ten Terrorists Executed, Czenstochowa, Poland, Oct: 6.—The ten terrorists condemned to death Thursday by drumhead courtmartial ‘were hlnled here during the day. King of Annlm Guilty of Flendigh Atrocities. Parls, Oct. 6 —Thamh Thai, king of Annam, according to stories reaching Paris from Indo-China, has again been gullty of such atrocities that the French government may become com- pelled to adopt rigorous disciplinary measures, as it did several years ago. The malils report that in August the king was seized with a homicidal mania, ordered seven of his wives to be executed and looked on with de- light while they were slowly tortured to death, A few days later the king shot down a prince, who was seventy Years old, a member of the council of the royal family, highly esteemed and the last surviving son of King Minh Mang. The king wants to come to Paris, as the king of Cambodia did, but the French press declares that such a fiend shall never be aHowed to visit France. ADMITTED BY AN OFFICIAL. Allowance for Grain-Handling in Real- ity a Rebate, Chicago, Oct. 6.—Admission was made upon the witness stand before the interstate commerce commissicn that an allowance by a railroad of a certain amount to a grain company operating an elevator, ostensibly for the elevation of grain, is in reality a reduction in the freight rate on the grain, This statement was made by D. 0. Ives of St. Louis, trafic manager for the Wabash railroad, while testify- ing in regard to an allowance of 1% cents per hundredweight said to have been granted the Peavey Elevator company by the Union Pacific Rail- road company. FORTY STILL IN THE MINE NINETEEN BODIES RECOVERED FROM COLLIERY AT POCA. HONTAS, W. VA, Roanoke, Va., Oct. 6.—A telegram received ‘here states that up to 11 a. m. nineteen bodies have been re- covered from the West Fork mine at Pocahontas and it is ‘thought that there are still forty in the mine. There is no evidence thus far.of fire and the work of rgscue is not retarded. It will v be two days before all of the bodies have been found. Many of the victims are negroes and Hungarians, but a large number of citizens of Pocahontas were killed, leaving widows and orphans: The cause of the explosion cannot definitely be learned as yet, but it is thought to be due to a gas explosion, followed by afterdamp. The mines ‘were considered the safest and best ventilated in this section and the com- pany has been at an enormous expense in equipping and ventilating them. DEAL NOT YET CLOSED, 8teel Trust Directors Discuss L of Hill’'s Ore Lands. New York, Oct. 6.—Further confer- ences by directers of the United States Steel corporation were held in the office of J. P. Morgan & Co. to con- slder certain phases of the proposed lease of the Great Northern’s ore lands to the Steel corporation. It was an- nounced afterward that progress had been made in the negotiations, but that the matter had not been brought to « conclusion. That more or less work remains to be done before the lease can be closed seems indicated by the fact that no call has yvet been issued for a meeting of the directors to pass formally upon the terms of the lease. This would not be done, it was explained, until all the questions under discussion have been settled to the satisfaction of both parties to the deal. IN ORDER TO OUST GAMBLERS. Jurisdiction Over Missouri River lsl- and to Be Settled. Jefferson City, Mo., Oct. 8.—Gov- ernor Folk has written a letter to Gov- ernor Hoch of Kansas opening a ques- tlon involving the Loundary line be- tween Missouri and Kansas and the consequent control over an island in +the Missourl river on which there is a big gambling resort. Governor Folk asserts that if the island is within the limits of Missouri measures will be|| made to stop the gambling at once. The island, which contains about 400 acres, lies between Clay county, Mo., and Wyandotte county, Kan., and was formed by the divergence of the river about fifteen years ago. Neither Missouri nor Kansas has entered claim to the island. One Lone Rioter Arrested.

THREE DISTINCT STORMS (N VICINITY FOUR PEOPLE KILLED AND MUCH PROPERTY DESTROYED AT 1 PONTCHATOULA. New Orleans, Oct. 6.—A tornado passing through five miles of the resi- dence and factory section of New Or- leans during the day injured at least fifty persons and did fully $500, 000 damage. Half an hour after the tornado had left the city, traveling m] a northerly direction, a telegram from - Hammond, La., fitty miles north of | here, said that four persons had been | killed in a torrado at Pontchatoula, aj nearby town. Great property damage | at Pontchatoula was also reported. A report was brought in from the neighborhoud of Lake Pontchartrain, outside the city limits, that lives had been lost, but the report lacked con- firmation. Although several deaths were reported in New Orleans imme- diately after the storm investigation showed that probably not a life was lost here. Many of the injuries to persons occurred near Roberts street and the river front, where the Colum- bia oil mill and the Jefferson saw mill were badly damaged. A woman and child were injured by the blowing down of a house at First and Magnolia streets and a negro in Douglas parish ‘was reported to have been picked up bodily by the wind and carried several feet, being badly bruised. Accompanied by Heavy Rumble. The tornado entered the city near Audobon park, having crossed the Mis- sissippi river from the farming coun- try opposite that point. The wind was accompanied by a low ranging cloud and a heavy rumble. It traveled north- west until it reached the fine resi- dence portion of the city at St. Charles and Napoleon avenues. Here the damage was the lightest done in any part of the tornado’s course. From 8t. Charles the wind proceed- ed straight ahead to Maringo and Carondelet streets, where it veered sharply to the northward and in this direction_nassed out of_the city. i secretary. | Vessels o' Little Use in Cuban Waters. . ‘Washington, Oct. 6.—It is expected that the largest ships of the Amer- Ican fleet, if not all of them, will be withdrawn from Cuban waters as soon as there is a sufficient army force landed to afford security to the provisional government and the pro- tection of property interests. The ships themselves, it is stated at the department, do not afford any protec- i tion to Cuban interests save as being quick transports and barracks for the bluejackets and marines which have , been landed on the island. There is no suggestion that’the big guns of the ships or even the smaller batteries would be used against the towns and cities whose harbors are large enough to accommodate naval vessels. There- fore, it is stated at the department, the ships will be ordered to resume the cruises whfh were interrupted when the rush Urgers to proceed to Cubha were issued. Governor Taft has the direction of the vessels in Cuban waters. The sailings and arrivals are reported to the navy department here as the regu- lations require, but the orders to the naval officers are given by the war The withdrawal of the ships will no doubt depend upon the wishes of Secretary Taft after the army has landed. Operated From Wall Street. Milwaukee, Oct. 6.—An official of the Wisconsin Central made the state- ment to the Evening Wisconsin to the effect that the Wisconsin Central would be operated from Wall street for the present and would probably be sold to the highest bidder. e —— MARKET QUOTATIONS. : Minneapolis Wheat, Minneapolis, Oct. 5.—Wheat—Dec., 18% @73%¢; May, 77%¢c.~ On track— No. 1 hard, 75%c; No. 1 Northern, T5%c: No. 2 Northern, 73%c; No. 8 Northern, 71% @172%c.

READY TO GIVE UP FROM START GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS OF THE BELIEF THAT REBELLION COULD BE CRUSHED. Havana, Oct. 6.—None of ex-Pres- tdent Palma’s intimates, save the cab- inet officers, his private sgcretary and United States Consul General Stein- hart, had any kunowledge of Palma’s communication in September to the government at Washington, made pub- e by Secretary of State Root, and the greatest surprise is manifested at the fact that Palma actually suggested intervention as a solution. Vice Pres- ident Mendez Capote, as an attorney, had privately advised certain foreign corporations that in his opinion the necessity for intervention was im- minent, but that Palma had asked out- right for intervention was not inti- mated by anybody. It was well known that Palma was nervous and fearful, but it was not generally believed that he was so ready to give up, although it had often been rumored that he was weakening. Governor Nunez, who visited Palma daily perhaps as often as any ome ex- cepting the vice president and cab- inet officers, said that he thought it very strange that Palma had taken juch a step without informing him. He did not wish to express an opinion of the ex-president’s action, but it was certainly all the more strangé in view of the fact that the government felt and had every reason to believe that it was fully Able to Control the Situation without American assistance. Nunez believed the government forces could have successfully resisted an attack on Havana and that with its increas- ing army the government could have eventually suppressed the rebellion. The prevalent comment now is that Palma gave way to panic in a far greater degree than was indicated in his call on Mr. Sleeper, the American charge d’affaires at Havana, and Com- mander Colwell to land the United States cruiser Denver’s sailors. .
