laws were committed, the state will
take prompt action, and the offenders,
when proved to be such, will be prose­
cuted and punished.

New York, August 6.— Three per­
sons were seriously injured and Bix
others badly cut aud bruised today by
the falling of five heavy pieces ol
structural iron [from tbe top of a 12-
story building in the course of con­
struction at Broadway and Walker
streets. Fannie Cohen, 17 years ol
age; Morris Beichere, 16 years of age
and David Waldeinauu, 19, were so
badly injured they had to be taken to a
hospital, and six others were painfully
injured. A ll w ill --ecover. A ll of the
injured personsjwere employed by M.
Goldberg & Co., pocket-book manufac­
turers, who occupied the upper two
floors of the five-story building on
Walker street, directly in the rear ol
the building in coarse of construction.
Four heavy iron girders, each weigh­
ing over a ton, wore being hoisted to
the top of the high building. They
were being swung around to the top ol
the building when they slipped ont ol
the chains. Three of the heavy girder«
crashed through 11 floors to the base­
ment, and the fonrth stuck at the sec­
ond floor. Over 100 workmen were a*
work in the buildiDg, but they escaped
injury. When the big boom of the der­
rick was re’eased from the girders it
swung around and struck a 14-foot iron
upright, snapping it off and thiowing
in over the side of the building. This
piece weighed over a ton. It crashed
throuhg the roof of tho Walker street
building, where 30 people were at work
on the top floor. They were buried in
the debris. Those who were not badly
hurt made a rush for the fire escape,
leaving a number of women who had
fainted and the injured persons lying
helpless on the floor.
Alfred Norton, foreman in charge ol
the iron workers, was arrested on a
charge of criminal neglect and arraign­
ed in the Center street court. He wai
parolled until tomorrow.

London, August 6.— According to a
special dispatch from Shanghai, dated
August 3, the advanciug column of
the allies was reported there yesterday
to have reached a point 35 miles be­
yond Tien Tsin. Nothing trom any
other poiut cotroborates this state­
ment. lu fact, the Standard goes so far
as to say that it fears the real advance,
apart from preliminary measures, has
not yet begun. Tien Tsin dispatches
dated July 30 tell of au action which
is termed a "reconnoissauce between
Japanese and Chinese two miles be­
yond tbe Hsi Ku arsenal, in which the
Japansee withdrew after sufleriug 30
casualties.
The Tien Tsin correspondent of the
Standard, under date of July 27, de­
clares that tho Americans and Germans
have been ordered to move forward
without waiting for the British.
A Cliee Foo special reports the safety
Americans in l’ekin and the receipt
of a letter from Dr. Cheltman, dated
Pekin, July 20, sayiug that on the
previous dav Sir Claude MacDonald, the
British minister, had agreod to a truce,
providing the Chinese came no closer,
and continued: "W e hope this means
relief, but, having again defeated the
Chinese, we aro fearful of treachery.
A ll are exhausted from constant watch­
ing, fighting aud digging trenches.
The greatest credit is due to Mr.
Squiers, secretary of tho United States
legution, whose military experience
and energy aro invaluable."
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily News says that the consuls there
regret the independent action taken
by the American Association and the
Chinese Association, on tl.e ground
that it is injudicious. He s ye: "Tbe
settlements being international, petty
jealousies must disappeni. The China
Association is of little local influence."
1’resumubly he refers to the American-
Asiatic Association.

Washington, August 6.— From inside
sources it was learned that the action
of the Nicaraguan government in tak­
ing possession of the property of the
Maritime Canal Company w ill have
not the slightest effect upon the con-
structon of tbe canal by the United
States government. It is fully under­
stood that when the canal is actually
authorized by the United States that
th* Nicaraguan government w ill have
to make terms with the United States,
notwithstanding any concessions it
may have granted to other parties.
There is a possibility that provision
w ill be made for concessions that have
been granted, in order to avoid any
possible difficulties, it is not believed
here that the Cragin-Kyre Company has
any purpose In this concession other
than to secure money from the United
States when the canal is built. Author­
ities on the canal have never believed
that the concessions obtained by this
syndicate were of any value.
