CHICAGO, Aug. I.-Twelve steel arches, each weighing 13 tone, which were to have supported the euprcruo litre of the collevum, building, ln.lh course of erection on- Wabash svvnue, between Fifteenth and Blilevnth atroels, fell to the ground thle after noon. It la known that nine Uvea were trushod. The bodlve of thnte men art supposed to be under the wreckage. Bvvon mn are In the hospital with In Jurlre received by the accident, and of these two will survly die. ons may p elbly recover and tbe balance are for the greater part eerloualy Injured. All of the twelve archee were atand Ing since the 12th, the last hwlng been completed today. It wss ths Intention of the steal contractors, lbs Pittsburg Hrlttge Company, of Pittsburg, Pa to turn over the work tonight to the general contractors. The Iron "travel er" or derlck which had been used- In the erection of the archea, had been removed and the agents of the Bridge Compsny wore accounting their work practically completed, when aud- denly and without the alighteat prelim inary of warning, the arch last put In place suddenly fell over against the one nnt to It. The weight was too much fur thle. and It gave awsy crunhlng agalnNt the third, and. one by one the great steel spans fell over to ths south. Nearly all the men who were killed were at work on top of the arches, furty feet above the ground. Burnt of them made futile attempe to elide down the elde of the archea. but before they could helj, themselves they were burM to the around. Many of them uttered piercing ahrlrks for aid as they fell. The most of them were killed out- right by the awful nature of thtlr In Juries. The ekulle of the unfortunate men were crushed Into ahapless msMes, their limbs were cut oft aa If by a monster knife and they were mangled beyond recognition. The Immense structure begsn falling slowly, each arch being auatalned by cross beams supporting the entire atruoture. Aa the mass gained Impetus, oars of Iron, Inch thick, snapped with a louJ report and the great mass moved faster and faster In Ita descent to the ground with a crash that was heard block distant, the structure fell, leaving the walls practically uninjured and sending up great clouds of dust and dirt A numter of men fell Into the small excavations, of which there are many In the ground beneath the steelworks and although some were scattered up by the fumble, theee were eawed from the great masses of steel that trashed down over thenu Today's accident wilt delay the open ing of the building not over one month. No financial loss will fall upon the coliseum company, which Is erecting the structure. The only loeer will be the Pittsburg Bridge Company. The rompany'a loaa Is estimated at 125,000. The coliseum will lose Indirect ly financially, through the Inability to arrange for attractions during the com ing winter aeaaon. Tbe structure was WH feet long by 171 feet wide. It waa dealgned for the accommodation of large conventions, expositions, circuses, football games and other affairs of great public at traction. The Hat of dead and Injured are: Chaa. Wapol, Edward Murray. Frank Logan. Stephen J. Thompeon. John Farrey. Richard Sherman, Theodore Thorn. Leroy Fanner, a workman from , Toledo, Ohio. The fatally Injured are: John Month man, fractured .-dcull and fractured right leg. J. J. Dowd, Internal Injuries, both eyes out, both legs broken. Peter felltelr, right arm cut off at the ahoulder and skull fractured. John White, akull fractured and In ternal' injuries. The mlealng and believed to be dead are: 'Edward Swanion. Jos. King. There are nine dead; two missing; fatally Injured, four; Injured, not ser iously; ten. AN AMPHITHEATER PROPOSED. A Movement on Foot to Provide Asto ria with a Modern building '.or In Door Winter Amusements, There la a movoment on foot to give Astorlnns an acquisition In the way of a commodious and modern amphi theater. The project Is being fathered by. the Push Club, and the probable point' of location will be In the vicinity of the Clatsop mills, In order thnt the structure may have the advantage of steam heat durlngtho winter months from the targe engines doing eervloe lor the felg Clatsop Mill Company. A giintl-riinn who Is one of the prime pro moters, and whoee Interest and Influ ence will personally guarantee the sikiim of the departure, talks as fol lows ng'trdltig It: "I am In this mnt trr hihI urging It for several reasons. KIthI, during our regatta festivities, It Is nlwsys a part of our program tn give a largo ball, together wtlh cake-walks and sundry features of di version for the entertainment of the visitor, On such occasions, of courite, It Is necary to accommodate a Inrifit concourse of people. We need It for that. Htcond, political conven tlont of consequence are tmknvwn (n Astoria, simply because we have no hull or pavilion suitable to the purpose Akuln, we need It for that, "Then, there Is a never-dylig plaint anion our pleasure element that to long months of the winter are permit ted to drug with but tittle In the way or recreation and pastime to break the tedious monotony. An amphithea ter -ould lis made the seat for Indoor athletic games, bicycle and roller skat ing contests and possibly automobile races, which juat now are the fad In New York and ths large venters of Kurope. Moreover, arrangements could very, readily be consummated with the A. A C. railway to run the leading at tractions down here. They would gladly patronise Astoria if assured that Inviting quarters, suck aa mentioned, would be In waiting. ' "These, however, are but a small pro portion of the attractions that could be secured, tirand lodge conventions, which Invariably are held In July and Auguat, would extend a preference to this city by reason of cool aea breexea which make of Astoria one of the most delightful summjr resorts In the world. A county fair, as 'well, (ould be held, and with energetic management, could In time be made an attraction for thousands of vialtors from all points on the Pacific coast. It also occurs to me that the city has one of the most populnr and proficient bands In the northwest, and with but little In Vie way of musical business to encourage Its continued organisation. The am phitheater wjuld prove a gold mine for "Another and much needed addition would be eure to follow In the wake of the amusement pavilion. In ahorv Its construction would speedily opvi.e to enforce It. That Is, a large and modern hotel; a 'hoatlery that would be In keeping with the Importance of the city and one which the traveling com mercial fraternity woulJ take pleaguro In giving a wide end accredited pres tige abroad. The regatta committee have a liberal sum left as a surplus, end which. It Is ny understanding, la to be returned under a pro. rata dlatrl tuition to the aubacrlbers. If auch ac tlon Is taken, I have the word of sev. erul merchants that they, will contrib ute to the pavilion fund the pro rata money received, and an additional sum equal to their original icoutrlbullon to the .-egstla fund. ' With this spirit In evidence, a beau tlful amphitheater, with a ground space of at least 125x150 feet, will soon grace Oregon's hustling and leading gonport. I . . . . ASTORIA'8 HISTORIC GROUND. Suggestion as to the Observance of the Centennial of Lewis' arid Clarke'l Discoveries, Astoria. Aug. 28. Editor Astorlan. The late visit of a' grandson of Captain Clarke the explorer, has awakened lo cal Interest In the visit of Captains Lewis and Clarke to the mouth of the Columbia river In the year 1805. As- tortans and the state should begin preparations for a suitable century cel ebration In 1905. proper monuments should be erected to perpetuate the memory of their visit and of the exact spots visited. The site of, helr winter Quarters should be' secured, to Clatsop county by the city of Xstorla and pre- crved In Ita wild natural condition. We are on hlstorlo ground and, the chief points of note should be found. marked and secured to the public In the way of parks and public squares. The bark Columbia, of only 220 tons burden, from Boston, sailed down the Atlantic, up the Paclflo oecon, and en tered the Columbia river In 1791 Cap tains lwls and Clarke with a small omnanv. ascended the Missouri, croes ed the Rocky mountalns,passed through the Lolo poos, now the subject of con test by rival railroads, and descended the Columbia river to the Paclflo In the year 1805. A party sent over the same ocean by Mr. Astor landed on the atte of As toria In 1811, and another sent out by Mr. Astor by the river routes of Lewis and Clarke, reached Astoria in 1812. Tourists are now Interested and Inquire for the ancient land marks of discovery and progress. If definitely marked. they would soon attract many to As toria and vicinity. Our own cltlxens will oon look upon these spots with great Interest. Our historical bodies should secure views and have plates made from which prints can be taken. The local history should be thoroughly tauifht In our public schools. November 8, 1805, Captain Lewis and party reached Pillar rock on the Wash ington shore and coasted along the beach to Cape Disappointment. They crossed over to the north beach and then returned and crossed the Colum bia above Tongue point, oy them called Point William. After rounding the tongue, they camped on the pebbly beach below the neck of the Tongue for 10 days. They they went down the riv er, croHsed Youngs bay, called by them Merrlweather bny, and ascended the Nctul, npw-known-as Lewis and Clarke river. They landed on the west bank and;bullt Ft. Clatsop near where the Clatsop road nowjeaves the bank of the river. They remained there from iMcember 7, IWi, to March 23 next yeas. Touring the winter they crossed over to Clatsop l liilna. They crossed the NeH'.'iixl, north of Carnahan's houae, and were bewllditrd to find further wnt a stream running In the op po ntic direction. They chased elk over the cranberry marahes about Cullaby luke, and noted the small knobs that were covered with timber In the midst of the marshes. Thrn they went te fleaslde, where they manufactured salt. It la said the salt cairns, or pits, are yet to be seen. Al they had a kettle however, to make the Alt In, It l not clear why calrni, r holes In the ground should have been need.-d or uaed In the making of the salt.

Continued from page one. "Nor must the navy be forgotten. Hlxly-flve devoted sailors participated In tbe engagement of May L In Manila bay, whose terms of service bad pre viously expired, thus continuing on duty quite a year after that action. "For these men of tbe army and navy we have only honor and gratitude. The world will never know tbe re straint of our soldiers their aelf con trol, under the moat exasperating con ditions. For weeks subjected to the Insults and duplicity Of the Insurgent leaders they preserved the status quo, remembering that they were under an order from their government to sacredly observe the terms of the pro tocol Id letter and spirit and avoid ail conflict except In defense pending the negotiations of the treaty of peace. They were not the aggressors. They did nut begin hostilities against the In surgents pending the ratification of the treaty of peace In the senate, great as was their justlQcatlon, because their orders from Washington forbade it. I take all tbe responsibility for that direction. Otis only executed the or ders of his government and the soldiers under great provocation to strike bock obeyed. Until the treaty was ratified we had no authority beyond that U maintain. Spain was still In possession of the remainder of tbe archipelago. Spain had sued for peace. The truce and treaty were not concluded. The first blow was struck by the Insurgents. Our kindness was reciprocated with cruelty, our mercy with a Mauser. The Hog of truce waa Invoked only to be dishonored. Our noldiers were shot down when ministering to wounded Filipinos. Our humanity was inter preted as weakness, our forbearance was. cowardice. Thew assailed our sov ereignty and there will be no useless parley no pause until the Insurrec tion Is suppressed and American au thority acknowledged and established. The ' misguided followers In rebellion have only our charity and pity. As to the cruel leaders who nave needlessly sacrificed the lives of thousands of their people." at the cost of some of our best blood, for the gratification of their own ambitions. I will leave to others the ungracious task of Justifica tion and eulogy. Every one of the no ble men, regulars and volunteers, sol diers or seamen, who thus signally serv ed their country In Its extremity de serves the special recognition of con gress, and It will be to me an unfeigned pleasure to recommend for each' of them a special medal of honor. While we give you hall and greeting from everlovlng hearts we do not forget the brave men who remain and those who have gone forward to take your places arid' those other brave men who have soi promptly volunteered, crowding each other to go to the front to carry forward to successful completion the work you so nobly began. Our prayers go with them and more men and mu nitions if required for the speedy sup pression of the rebellion, the establish ment of peace and tranquility and a government under the undisputed sove reignty of the United States, a gov ernment which will do Justice to all, and at once encourage to best efforts and aspirations of these distant people and the highest development of the rich and fertile lands, "The government to which you gave your loyalty welcome you to your homes. Without blot or stain upon your record, the story of your unself ish services to country and to civili sation will be to men who take your places at the front and on the firing line and to the future generations, an example of patriotism and an Inspira tion to duty." ALASKA BOUNDARY. (Continued from Page One.) upon by the American and the Can adian commissioners. This temporary arrangement will provide first, that the Canadian shall have the use of a port on the Lynn canal. Pyramid Harbor being the most likely one. The arrangement will pro vide, however, by means of a special protocol, a distant declaration that this temporary ocupatlon of the port on the Lynn canal by Brltlah customs officers shall In no way affect the final settle ment of the boundary question, but both British and American Interests and clnlms will be dully reserved.. The use of the port Is to be temporary until the qestion of ownership of the disputed strip Is finally settled to the satisfaction of both countries. - Under this tempararyagreement, al so Canadian white' pine lumber not dressed, tongued of grooved, but ln- eluding log and rough boards.

In rewad for this, citizens of the United States are to have absolutely free access to the fisheries with rights of landing to secjrs bait or to prepare thn catch for the market. lireat Britain also consents to a rnodlriVatlon of the treaty regarding the building of warships on the lake in such a way as to permit the creation of a reasonable fleet of modern ships to be built above the Nlagra falls.
