Doctors Hurried to the Scene.
Minerva, Ohio, July 2.—With a
rumbling and grinding that could Lc-
heard for miles, the tunnel on tho
Lake Erie, Alliance and Wheeling
railroad near here, caved In its entire
length early today.
Work was commenced some time
ago to uncover and make a cut of the
hill, and some of it had been accom

to work this morning and 100 men
were preparing to go in when, without
w'arning, the entire hill settled down
on the tracks.
Just how many men were caugl t

Fireman Broadwater was terribly

to the Macon hospital, but died soon
after reaching there.
The two engineers are the mostt se

painful, and it is feared may prove |
fatal. Yard Conductor Green was
riding on one of the engines at the
time of the collision, but his injuries
are not considered dangerous.
The two engines were switching

Bitter Feeling Manifested Against
German School Teachers.
Berlin, July 2.—A symptom of the
bitterness of Polish feeling against
the Germans has been exhibited in the
village of Juschken, near Graudens,
western Prussia. All the boys in th 3
school, at a signal from the largest
hoy. mobbed the school teacher, a man
named Borchert. and mauled him se
verely with sticks. The teacher
grabbed a stick and used it sn effect
ively that he beat off his young atsail-
ants, who ran home, where they were
warmly welcomed.
The school administration, of course,
regards the attack as having been in
stigated by the parents, who, at Jusch
ken and in other localities, have been
Intimidating German teachers.

Washington, July 2—The statement
of the public debt at the close of the ,
fiscal year, June 30, 1902, shows that
the debt, less cash in the treasury,
amounted to $£09,457,241, which is a
♦’.ecrease as compared with May 30,
1902. of $)3.012,332. This decrease is
accounted for by the amount of ca^h
on hand. The debt is recapitulated as
follows:
Interest hearing debt. $931,070,340; j
debt on which interest has ceased
since maturity, $1,280,860; debt hear
ing no interest, $395,080,156. Total,
$1,328,031,355.
This amount, however, does not in
clude $830,571,089 in certificates and
treasury notes outstanding, which are
offset by an equal amount of cash he'd
for their redemption.
The cash in the treasury is classified
as follows:
Gold reserve, $130,000,000; trust
funds $830,579,089; general fund $163-
734,103; in national hank depositories.
$126,506,517. Total, $1,270,819,710,
against which there are demand lia

Representative Livingston, of Georgia,
Figures that this Has Been the Most
Extravagant Congress of Which He
Has Ever Been a Member.
Washington, July 2.—Amid a scene
oi enthusiasm that has not been paral
leled since the exciting and stirring
days of the Spanish war, Speaker Hen
derson at 5:30 o’clock yesterday at-
ternoon declared the house of repre
sentatives adjourned without delay.
In doing so he said that no house ot
representatives since the adoption
of the constitution had done as much
work as this one.
The audience to which he made his
brief address was a brilliant one. The
galleries were banked to the doors and
almost two-thirds of the members
were in their seats on the floor. The
speaker’s appreciative words to the
members in thanking them for their
co-operation during the session had
touched a responsive chord, and they
gave him a remarkable demonstration
of their friendship and good will.
While the cheering and applause
were still in progress the members on
the floor began singing “My Country,
Tis of Thee.” It was taken up by the
correspondents in the press galle-y
over the speaker’s chair, and by the
spectators in the surrounding gallerieq,
and soon the vast hall was ringing
with the swelling chorus. Other pa
triotic airs followed as the members
exchanged farewells, “The Star
Banner” alternating with

BIG SHIPS TOWED IN SECTIONS.
Remarkable Feat in Ship Building Of»
.. .. the Great Lakes.
New York, July 2.—Westbound lak«
captains who have Just come from ths
St. Lawrence and put into Charlotts
for coaling, report, says a Rochester
dispatch to the Tribune, that the :tf$
section of the big ocean liner Minn*
waska lias been warped off the rock*
in the St. Lawrence river, where it
struck two weeks ago. The two halve*
of a sister ship, the Minnetonka, were
conducted through the perilous w&tar*
of lower Lake Ontario and the 3L
Lawrence in safety, and reached Qu*
bee without a mishap.
This news marks the practical com*
pletion of one of the most remarkable
feats of ship building ever known oa
the Great Lakes. These two huge
ocean-going freighters were built at
Cleveland, Each of them Is 500 feet
In length. Close calculation showed
that the length of the completed ves«
sels would not admit of their passing
the locks in the Well and St. Lawrence
canals by several feet, consequently it
v/as decided to tow them down the
lakes in sections, two to each ship.

Conspiracy Against Life of the Presi
dent of Uruguay.
New York, July 2.—A conspiracy
against the life of the president of
Uruguay, Dr. Cuestas, has been dis
covered here in a curious manner, says
a Herald dispatch from Buenos Ayres.
Charles Paggini was found dead in
a street of this city. The police were
investigating the case when they re
ceived a communication saying that
Paggini was the chief conspirator
against the life of Cuestas. The com.
municatlon fuuher said that the po
lice would find In Pagginl’s dwelling 24
kilos of dynamite. This statement
proved true..
It is true that Paggini backed out
at the last moment In the conspiracy
to assassinate Cuestas, and that one
of his fellow conspirators killed him
to prevent a disclosure of the plot.
Number of Secret Service Arrests.
Washington, July 2.—The annual 1
report of Chief Wilkie, of the secret
service division, shows that during the
year there were arrested 573 persons

the federal statutes. New York leading
with 83 piusecutions. Of the of
fenders 413 were of American birth,
the next largest number of offenders
being Italians. Sixty-three per cent
of those arrested were convicted. It
is pointed out that note raising might
he prevented by the adoption of a dis
tinctive size of a note of smaller de
nominations.
Cuick Piece of Legislation.
Washington, July 2.—The quickest
piece of legislation accomplished dur
ing the present session of congress
was the passage of a bill appropriating
$75,000 for a quartermasters supply

Spangled
“Dixie.”
The adjournment came at the end
of a seven and one-half hours’ session,
during which muct) minor business
was transacted. In all, 7o bills and
resolutions were passed. The gener
al good feeling in the house had been
heightened by the victory won over
the senate on the item incorporated
In the naval appropriation bill for the
building of a battleship in a govern
ment yard.
The closing hour was occupied wi’h
a spirited debate between Mr. Cous
ins. of Iowa, and Mr. Richardson, tl ?
Democratic leader, over the report or, j
the investigation into the charges I
made by Captain Christmas concerning 1
the sale of the Danish West Indies, i
Mr. Cousins ridiculed Mr. Rithardson ,
for bringing the matter to the atten
tion of congress. The latter defend- !
ed his course.
“There is but one thing in conn°c. j
tion with the whole matter,” said Mr. |
Cousins, “that approaches the silliness •
and absurdity of the driveling diatrie j ]
and fictitious tale of Christmas, an I i
that is unparalleled and ludicrous per- !
formance of deliberately and solemnly ;
spreading It upon the records of the j
American congress, where it must re ■
main throughout all history as s
shameless challenge to the ciedulity j
of man.”
The session of congress was a “bil- j
lion dollar" one.
The appropriations are far in excess I
of those of any other session and have j
given the Republican leadeis consid- |
erable alarm during the past two
months.
"Uncle Joe” Cannon and Representa-
live Lon Livingston, of Georgia, chair
man and ranking democratic member
respectively of the committee on ap
propriations, are the statisticians of
the house, and each of them has a
■ method of figuring appropriation bills
which demonstrates that if “figures
do not lie,” they can be put to uses
which answer the same purposes. |
I “Uncle Joe“ Cannon figures that the
total appropriations for the session
have been $750,063,837, but in a foot
note explains that congress has au-
i thorized the expenditure of $229,373,-
: 215 in addition and enough more to
make a grand total of $1,009,503,215.
This does not include about $17,000,-
000 authorized for the construction
of public buildings throughout the
United States.
Representative Livingston figures
that this has been the most extrava
gant congress of which he has ever
been a member. His figures show
that the appropriations of this season
have reached the huge aggregate of
$1,059,577,052. The $17,000,000 car
ried by the public buildings bill is not
Included In this statement, which
would run the total up to $1,076,577,-
000.
The appropriations for the last Dem
ocratic congress, the Fifty-third, last
session, was about $500,693,284.
