Plus X and he has been already overcome by the unaccus- tomed strain of his pontifical dutles. This morning he fainted while at mass. His collapse is considered to be due to heart weakness, aggravated, by fatigue, It con: stitutes’ the first vietory of his entourage. Even though he disappointed some people, they urge him not to concede audiences to sl comers and o render himself less a essible. Dr. Lapopny recommended the pope to take a complete rest. He has or- dered all audlences postponed. The pope, however, cannot understand {he necessity of sparing himself and said to Dr. Laponnl: “Fam stronger than Pope Leo. Why should not I do what he did? It was explained to him that Leo when | elected began by taking a fortnight's per- fect rest, and thereafter gradually trained himself to his new duties. Moreover, Leo ¢id not need exercise in the fresh air which afi ordinarily healthy man does. Soon Restored to Normal Comdition. At noon Pope Plus was reported to be almost restored to his normal condition, but was keeping his room, as he feels oc- ¢asionally a slight palpitation of the heart. “The pope ardently wished to recelve today the Austrian ambassador, who was to pre- sent hig credentials, but he was persuaded to renounce his intention, not only in this case, but with regard to all the audiences which were fixed for tomorrow.

Pope Plus was séen to grow paler and peler, finally throwing out his hends as fhough' seeking support. He wou.d iave fallen. had not Mgr. Bressan, his private éhaplain, been quick to catch him. It is fmpossible to describe the confusion and dlarmi ' among the worshipers while the pope Jay motionless' and unconsclous, with his eyes closed. Fortunately, among the Venetians present was Dr. Davenesra, who for nine years has botn the pope's attending physiolan at Vénice, but who had been called only once during- that time, to treat his throat. Dr. ‘Davenesra gave the pontiff imme- diste asdistince, while the messengers tel phoned Dr. Laponni.

On waking he felt much benefited and.re- treshed Although the pope was much better this afternoon Dr. Laponni, who visited him again, thought it more prudent for him not to leave his apartment and not to go into the Vatican gardens.

Dr. Davenesra, speaking about the pope, sald: “If they wish our Plus not to suc- cumb the Vatican authorities must change their system. They must not oblige him to follow the habits of Pope Leo, the pres- ent pontiff needs especially plenty of fresh air. He must not be shut.up In a box in a poor atmosphere.” To Be Papal Secretary.

ENGINEER IGNORES WARNING GIVEN Declares He Can Make Next Station Even Aftér Fire is Discovered and 8o Precl Tragedy, ntes PARIS, Aug. 11.~Elghty-four bodies have now been recovered from the underground rajlway tunnel and the death list.from the accident probably will exceed 100, The scenes at the mouth of the tunnel where the victims were brought forth were of the most heartrending description— crowds of weeping men, women and chil- dren struggling forward in an effort to recognize thelr missing relatives and friends. Most of the victims are from the middle and working classes, as the tkains wero carrying them home from their work. Although the accident occurred at § o'clock last evening, the ofclals and fire- men were unable until early this morning to descend Into the tunnel, owing to the blinding clouds of smoke from the burning train. Frequent attempts were made by volunteers, whom it was necessary to res- cue. half-suffocated, and they were carried awey to the hospita Describes Scene in Tunnel. At ten minutes after 3 o'clock Sergeant. Aherns, wearing a respirator, succeeded in making the descent. He remained seven minutes and brought the first information to the effect that corpses were strewn all about the roadway of the tunnel. Then he collapsed and was taken to the hospital Twenty minutes later firemen forced th way down through the tunnel station at Menilmontant and returned soon afterward with seven bodles, two men, two boys and three women. These persons had been as- phyxiated, as their positions showed they had been groping through the smoke that filled the tunnel, seeking a way to escape when they were overcome. ‘The work of bringing up the bodles went on steadily after that under the personal direction of Prefect of Police Lepine, who summoned a large reserve force to hold back the surging crowd, including the rela- tives of the victims. Long lines of ambulances were brought into requisition and the bodles were carried to the morgue. After daylight the crowd around the entrance of the tunnel increased to enormous prope-~tions, obliging the police to form a solid cordon, through which they Long Lines of Ambulances. admitted only those seeking to identify thelr relatives among the victims. The fall- ure of many men, women and children to return home during the right gave many the first news of the disaster. Fathers and mothers came hurrying to the mouths of the tunnel to try to find their absent ones. At the second descent the firemen found & great number of bodles massed near the ticket office of the station, where many had evidently become overcome while seek- ing tickets. They had been surprised by the columns of smoke and had sought to run back up .the stone stalrway lea: to the street. A struggle had ensued, ana some escaped, but the others had been trampled on. One woman had fled within the ticket office, where her body was found. The ticket seller herself succeeded in es- caping. At the station of Les Charonnes the same gcenes of death and despair had been enacted. The accident occurred midway ‘| between the stations of Menlimontant and Les Charonnes, so tHat “the work of 'sal- vage proceeded from both “ends of the tunnel. Jn addition to the blinding smoke the tunnel belched forth a terrific heat, as one of the cars was burning within, One fireman sucoteded in throwing sev- eral streams of water in the direction of the wreck, while some firemen and mill- tary engineers, at great hazard, pushed on inside the tunnel. They brought out two bodies, and soon afterward three more. The latter were laborers who had almost succeeded in reaching the exit when they were overcome and suffocated. Further on the firemen stumbled upon a terrible mass of bodles. These were the passengers of the burned train. Suftocgted by the Smoke. They had léaped from the coach the fire broke out, and, groping through the suffocating clouds of smoke, sought the exit at Les Charonnes strét station, but the tunnel makes a sharp turn near the rcene of the Gisaster, and at the angle the entire mass of humanity, apparently, be- came tightly - wedged. The panic which took place at this point in the dark sub- terrannean passage must have been terri- ble. The corpses from this death angle soon swelled the list until, at 6:15 a. m., Prefect Lepine placed the number of victims at forty-five already recovered, while the steady file of firemen bringing up bodies continued. M, Lepine summoned a large force of doc- tors and municipal officlals who Ssuperin- tended the removal of the bodies. The number of corpses brought up from the angle where the mass was wedged was so large that four and elght bodles were placed in each ambulance. Many of the vietims had handkerchi uffed in thelr mouths, they having evidently iried to keep out the asphyxiating smoke. The faces of the dead had congested. Some women held thelr children lifeless in their arms. Identify Their Loved Ones, As the firemen brought out the bodies egonizing cries went up from women and children who recognized their dead hus- bands and fathers. The clothing of the vietims . indicated that they were oalmost entirely second-class passengers. . There were several first-class coaches ‘on the trains,.and it is belleved that their occu- pants were Also among the victims, Several versions of the disaster are given, but the main facts which have been e tablished are the following The train which caused the accident came from Porte Dauphine, at the entrance to the Bois de Bolougne, in the western part of Paris. After circling the marthern quarter of the city, where ‘numbers of ‘workmen were picked up, the train reached the nelghborhood of the cemetery of Pere 1a Chaise, where the electric U motor failed o uct properly. The train then waited at the station of Les Couronnes. until {he arrival of & second train, which pushed the crippled train forward, making a total of sixteen coaches. After proceeding about 20 yards to Mentilmontant station, the damaged dynamo set fire to the engine of the first train. The firg burned fiercely. Simultaneously the electric lights on the train went out, leaving the passengers in darkness except for the light of the burning engine far ahead. This impeded the progr. of the trains toward Mentilmontant. Pa s Try to Walk, The terror-stricken passengers got out and tried to grope their way back. The powertul electrical current which continued in the ralls Is believed to have stunned or killed many, A number of the pas- sengers managed to reach Les Couronnos station, but the main body of the pas- sengers was overcome by the heat and smoke. A terrible panic occurred among those behind, and the horror of the situation was increased by a third train crashi inlo the flery mass and adding anot HOW TO FIND OUT.

The cars continued to burn until twenty were consumed. The burning debris gave forth a flerce heat, which puffed out of the mouths of the sta- tlons of Les Couronnes and Mentiimontant. The escape of most of the tralnmen was due to iheir superior knowledge of the subterranean passage. A number of herolc incidents occurred. Several soldiers, firemen and employes of the road nearly lost their lives In seeking to ajd the victims. The catastrophe has caused intense ex- citement throughout the city, even the Humbert trial being forgotten in the wide- spread feellng of horror and grief. At noon Colonel Meaux St. Mare, on behalf of Presi- dent Loubet, visited the morgue and Pre- mier Combes went to the scene of the disaster. M. Hurteaux, procurator of the republic, and Judge Jolliot of the Seine tribunal have proceeded to Les Couronnes station to open a judiclal investigation into the affair. Engineér Defles Warning. The chief etation master at Les Cour- onnes, M. Dieder, says he saw the flames running along the gear of the cars when the first train passed through the station and called out to the engineer to stop, say- ing there was not time to reach the next station, but the engineer declared he had ample time and proceeded. A few minutes later a long, blue flame flashed through the tunnel, followed by a violent detonation. Looking into the mouth of the tunnel M. Dieder could see flashes from the burning cars. About 7 a. m., the bodies of ten women were brought out in a bunch. The todies of two little girls and three infants were found with them, ciinging to their mother's, Many poor peoplé claimed the bodies of their children and relatives and tried to take them home, but the' police gently, but firmly insisted on the bodies being taken to the morgue and barracks in order ‘that the miagmftude of tne Catasrophe |might pe def inted. at the. hotel the p-;’{,j:nnt ot e Deville, muniélpal councll announced that the city of Paris would bear the entire expénse of the funerals of the ¥igtime. it soned Vietims Fight, Eugene Ollivier, one of the few survivors, described the terrible panic which occurred in the darkness.. The people, ke says, rushed and fought with one another, mad- Iy seeking to get away. He was sick, but nerved to despération by the situstion, and managed to get through the struggling mass. As he went he passed over the bodles of those who had fallen exhausted, [but it was impossible to render them aid.

The clothing of many of the victims is torn, showing the flerceness of the stru gle. Another survivor, named Jules Bouat describes the struggle during the panic in the tunnel as terrible. An old man fell suftocated at his feet. The women screamed as they fell asphyxiafed. ¢ M. Blenveve, the chief engineer of the Metropoliten rallroad, says from the tech- nical polnt of view every precaution to avold danger had been taken. The chief misfortune was that the employes did not organize assistance with sufficient rapidity to permit the passengers being quickly drawn out. A large force of mounted guards {s at the mouths of tho tunnel. Premier Combes descended into the tun- nel and made a personal Inspection. He asked the chief of police for a report of the oauses of the disaster and a list of the vic- tims, and announced his intention of pro- posing at & council of measures for the re- llef of the poor familles of the victims. The flag over the Hotel Deville has been lowered to half mast .as a sign of the city's mourning. M. Gauthier, the magistrate for the dfs- trict, says one of the main causes of the loss of life was that those escaping took the Wrong passage, one passage letting out to the street, while the other was barred and was used for admitting passengers. Many of the victims sought the barred exit, and were found massed against the wall where they had been slowly suffocated. The firemen have gathered a large col- lection of torn clothing, battered hats, twisted umbrellas. and bloodstained. hand- kerchlefs showing how desperate was the underground struggle. At the American consulate it was learned that there were no Americans among the vietims. The prefecteur of police confirms this. Another fire broke out this evening in one of the tralns of the Metropolitan electric road at Tornos station. There was quite & panic but only two women were slightly injured.
