Flooding th* Burning Mass.
Paris, Aug. 12.— An awful catastro­
phe o. curred last evening on the Met­
ropolitan electric railway, which runs
mostly underground, in which 90 |>er-
sons are believed to have lest their
lives.
£igbty-two bodies have been
recovered and the search continues.
One of the trains broke down at Menii-
montant, which is a poor and populous
section of the city.
This train was
promptly emptied, and the train whf. h
followed was ordered to push it to the
repairing sheds. On the way thi se two
trains caught fire, but the employes
succeeded in escapiDg. Meanwhile a
crowded train reached Les Charonnes,
the preceding station, and the officials
seeing smoke pouring out of the tun­
nel, gave the alarm.
A panic ensued,
the passengers struggling to escape.
Amid the increasing smoke many at­
tempted to return along the line towa d
Belleville and were suffocattd.
The
officials seem to have lost their heads
and are unable to say how many pas­
sengers went out. The firemen for sev­
eral hours were unable to enter the sta­
tion or the tunnel, owing to the dense
smoke, which poured out in black
clouds. Meanwhil“ tens of thonsands
of anxious people gathered about the
station. A ll the police and fire engines
were on the spot and the excitement
was intense.
CZAR UP IN ARMS.
Says Turkey Must Punish
ConsuL
Slayer
of
St. Petersburg, Ang. 12.— The czar
has demanded the exemplary punish­
ment not only of the murderer of the
Russian consul at Monasfir, who was
killed last week by a Turkish gend­
arme, but of all the m ilitary and civil
officials in any way responsible for the
crime.
In reporting the occurrence to
the foreign office, the Russian consul at
Constantinople telegraphed as follows:
“ The Rsusian consol at Monastir has
fallen the victim of an atrocious crime.
The grand vizier and the Turkish for­
eign minister have come to me with ex­
pressions of regret in the name of the
sultan. Ferid Lesha, the grand vizier,
informed me that the assassin was a
gendarme named Halim, and that he
will be subjected to the severest pun­
ishment, and the vali of Monastir will
be removed from his post ”
In reply, Count Lamsdorfl, the for­
eign minister, telegraphed to the am­
bassador :
“ His majesty has received a telegram
from the sultan epxressing bis deep re­
gret at the death of the Russian consul
at Monastir. When I showed the tele­
gram to the emperor, his majesty gave
orders that yon should not confine
yoursell to receiving explanations from
tiie grand vizier, but should make the
most energetic demands on the Turk­
ish government for full satisfaction and
immediate and exemplary punishment
both of the murderer and of all the
military and civil officials on whom re­
sponsibility for the audacious crime
may fall.”
ROOT NOT TO RESION.
Secretary of War Will Remain In the
Cabinet.
Oyster Bay, Aug. 12.— The attention
of the president tonight was directed
to a circumstantial statement, pub­
lished today, that Secretary Root ex­
pected soon to retire from the cabinet,
to be succeeded by Governor Taft, of
the Philippines. It can be Baid that
there is no denfiite foundation for the
story. The president, since the first
intimation many months ago of Secre­
tary Root’ s possible retirement, has
hoped, and still hopes, that he w ill re­
main in the cabinet for a long time.
He believes that the secretary will re­
main throngh the coming winter, and
probably a much longer time.
Want Prices Raised.
London, Ang. 12.— The Dally News
this morning prints a dispatch from
Warsaw, dated last Friday, which says
that an American association, said to
contain 37,000 farmers, has addressed
itself to the Rnssian ministers of fi­
nance and agrlcnltnre, requesting their
assistance in raising the current prices
of agricnltnral produce, particularly
wheat, an saying that the association
projects a great union between the
wheat growing countries of the world
for the purpose of fixing an annual
minimum selling price.
Pope Aging Fast.
Rome. Ang. 12.— Pius X had «noth
er fatiguing day, as he re eived all the
delegations which had come to Rome
to attend the coronation ceremonies.
The pontiff allowed all the members of
the delegation to kiss his hand, and
called by name tho’ e whom he knew,
just as he had when he met them for­
merly when in Venice. His old Vene­
tian friends agree that the pope looks
ten veers older than he did before his
eieetion.
Japanese Desire Pease.
Tokio, Japan, Aug. 12.— A number
of public men, including Prince Kon-
ova, president of the house of peers,
end Counts itagaki, ex-minister of the
interior, and Kama, have formed a
non-partisan association for the pur­
pose of urging the government to in­
vite Russia-to terminate the i-anses of

tion*.

Philadelphia, Ang. 11.— Four per­
sons are dead, st least 12 are thought
to be fatally injured, and fully 150
others are hurt, some seriously, as the
result of an accident which occurred

league baseball park. A board walk,
which overhung the field bleachers,

tors.
Two games were schednled be ween
Boston and Philadelphia this afternoon
and the attraction drew over 10,000 per­
sons to the ball park. The accident
oo nrred at 5 :4U o'clock and was indi­
rectly due to a quarrel between two
drunken men in the street. The Na­
tional league stands are built of steel
and haick, the brick wall extending en­
tirely around the grounds.
At the top
of the left field seats, and extending
from the grandstand to the bleachers,
there waB a walk about three feet wide,
which overhung the street.
It was
this walk that gave way under the
heavy weight. Men who were stand­
ing on the walk were attracted by a
disturbame la the street. They leaned
over the side of the railing to see what
was the trouble, and drew the atten­
tion of the other spectators seated on
the top rows of the bleachers. Then
occurred w hat is seen almost every day

other spectators were looking at.
The walk became overcrowded, and
without a moment’ s warning 200 feet
of it lell to the sidewalk, 30 feet be­
low, carrying all who were on it.
There were probably 3,000 persons sit­
ting on the left field bleachers and the
roar made by the falling timbers cre­
ated a panic. Instantly the spectators
rose en masse and made a rush down
the stand and into the playiDg field.
Men and boys climbed over oneanother
