Y. Central The second boat was picked up empty at St Cast, where thirteen bodies were washed ashore. The top of the Hilda's fanner and her mast are visible at low tide. The entrance to St. Malo is danger ous, the currents and rocks needing the exercise of considerable caution at all times, but more especially in bad weather.

Many bodies have been washed ashore at different points, some wearing life belts. The Hilda was built at Glasgow in 18S2 and registered 848 tons. She was! an Iron screw steamer, 235 feet The danger of missing the high tide to j. cT a steamer entering St Malo is empha sized by the fact that the port is re markable for the great height of its tides.

Irrespective of par i mm mmv Demonstration of Russian Workmen Ended. AGAINST THE POLES. Interest Now Centers in the Zemstve Congress. St.

Petersburg. Nov. 20. The conservative' leadera in the council of workmen were again victorious, carrying a resolution against any attempt to introduce a movement for an eight hour day. The proclamation with which the council of workmen announced the end of the strike, declaring that the "demonstration" had served its purpose by saving the lives of the mutineers at Cronstadt.

while of course principally a blind to cover defeat, as the trials of the nmtineersare still in progress, is at the same time shrewd tactics for use in the propaganda which the council is actively pushing ainojig the army and navy. Such a claim, however. cannot disguise the that the strike was inaugurated to compel the govern ment not only to pardon uncondition ally the mutineers, but to abolish martial law in Poland and to compel the railing of a constituent assembly, none of which objects has been achieved. No Sympathy With Poland. The failure of the strike has shown Russia as a whole how little sympathy there is with Poland in her demand for autonomy.

At Moscow the rail roar men refused to strike on the gi'ouud that they did not sympathize with the Poles in their struggle. Apprehensions that the defeat of the "reds" in the council might inspire llicni to take violent measures against the troops or. the merchants who re fused to close, their places of business win ordered by the leaders were haji pily without foundation, though rumor of collisions between workmen anil troops were in circulation. At police he idiiiiMrters, however, it was said that there had been no disorders, and at strike headquarters the information was given tlmt there htid beeu no collisions. Interest Now In 2emstvo Congress.

Interest Ijas now shifted to Moscow, where the zeinstvo congress has opened. The members of the new party from all parts of the country have gone there to make tight In the congress for a union of all the conservative and Liberal elements to hold tip the hands of Count Witte, to condemn the political strike and to seek further political salvation through the doors opened by the manifesto, though if is neither expected nor desired that the Constitutional Democrats will abjure their programme while joining in the movement to'aid in the restoration of tranquillity. It is expected that' a sharp combat will develop with the large fraction of the zemstvoists who arc. arrayed with the Socialists to continue the fight against the government sto the bitter end. The result of the congress is awaited with the deepest interest.

The Official Messenger in addition to denying that the measures taken by the government in Poland were influenced by neighboring powers stated that martial law in Poland will be l'e pealed as soon as tranquillity is restored.

CHARGES AGAINST lilASI Deputy Sheriff Seriously Accused in Court. Attorney James L. Morris Kroiiglil Several Matters to the Attention of Judges Today ami an In vestigation by District Attorney Was Ordered.

Much surprise was occasioned in court today when charges of a serious character were made against James Masi, of this deputy in tho sheriff's office. Several matters concerning the deputy were brought to the attention of the court by Attorney James L. Morris and as a result an investigation was ordered. Judges Lynch, Ferris and Wheaton were sitting at the time, and Mas! was present and was represented by At torney John T. Lenahan.

Attorney Morris accused Masi of having taken from Penino, the Italian recently convicted of carrying con ceaien weapons and sentenced to a year in jail, the sum of $40 under the pretense that the money was to be used in settling the case. The money, it was alleged, was not used for this purpose. Attorney Morris brought to the attention of the court several instances in which it was alleged Masi had been engaged in similar work since he became deputy. He said that he had evidence that Masi, once having arrested a man oiv a warrant, said he would release him on payment of $5. The $5 was paid and the prisoner released.

The said prisoner afterward went to Attorney Morris' office and told his case, and Masi then refunded the $5. The attorney presented in evidence a. paper written in Italian purporting to be a receipt given by Masi for money to settle a case. The court directed that the district attorney's office investigate the matter forthwith and that the sheriff's office also make an investigation.

C. H. Rose, and now our hearts are again saddened beyond expression by the sudden death of another one of our most faithful members, Mr, J. R. Carpenter.

Probably those who have been actively connected with the Sunday school during the past few years most keen appreciate the value of Mr. Car penter's labors among us. As superintendent of the school his interest in its success was unflagging and his labor the most faithful. His business called him' away from the city frequently, but even in his absence the interests of the school' were ever upon his mind and heart, so that letters to his assistants in office were frequent.

20. A funeral without a parallel in this city took place yesterday at the Midvale Steel Vorks. where a 40 ton ingot of steel permeated with the flesh, blood and oones of two workmen, was buried with the solemn rites "of the Roman Catholic church. The workmen who were so strangely laid away were John Forkin and Joseph Gazda, two foreign speaking laborers, who met a horrible death a' week ago. They were in a pit near a cupola containing many tons of molten steel.

A plug gave way and 80,000 pounds of the fiery fluid poured from the cupola and overwhelmed them. The men were completely incinerated and not a trace of themselves nor their clothing was left. The Midvale Steel Co. was averse to selling the steel or using it for the purpose it was intended and it was lecided to buiy it with the rites of the church to which the unfortunate men had belonged. Accordingly the 40 ton ingot, oval in shape, 28 feet long, 6 feet wide and 5 feet thick, was moved last week by a traveling crane to the rear of the machine shop, where a grave ten feet deep had been made.

The great mass of metal was laid In the hole and a platform built over it that the burial services could be better performed. In the center of the platform was an opening six feet in diameter. A "great crowd sought admission to the works, but only the two sisters of Jazda, who depended upon him for tupport, and about 100 workmen who vere on Sunday duty, were permitted 'r attend the services along with the officials of the company. Forkin had relatives in this country. raong the officials was President Charles Harrash.

All heads wern oared and flags were lowered to halt mast staff, while two priests conducted the services. After the sisters of en led away the gr eat ncrot was covered with earth and the "jneral party dispersed. The grave the men will be appropr" marked by the company. But Few' ttre. Free.

After long consideration, the board of consulting engineers of the isthmian canal commission, composed of men eminent at home and abroad in the engineering held, has concluded its labors with decision in favor of the construction of a sea level canal across the isthmus of Panama.

The board's conclusions have been formulated for presentation to President Roosevelt. Some of the American members fa vored a lock aud dani canal on the ground Hi at the saving in time of con struction made this project more de sirable, but it lias been evident ever since the return of the board of con sulting engineers from Panama that a majority of members were of the lielief that the permanent advantages of a sea level canal outweighed the advan tage in time which would come from the construction of a lock and dam waterway. Cost Will Be $250,000,000. It is understood that the plan adopted by the commission and which wili be recommended to President Roose velt for approval provides for a sea level canal to be constructed in fifteen years at an estimated cost of $250,000, 008. The depth is said to have been fixed at forty five feet, with a width of 160 to 200 feet on the bottom.

It will lie necessary to construct a set of two locks at the Paclfle end of the canal for the purpose of controlling the heavy tides which occur there, and a dam will be required, also at Bahiii for the purpose of controlling the Chagres river. Canal Line to Be Straightened. 'Hie new plan contemplates also a straightening of the line of the canal. and this will mean that the entrance on the Atlantic side will be two miles to the west of the present entrance, which is close to the city of Colon, while the exit at the Pacific end will be to the east and further away from the city of Panama than the exit under the plan upon which the canal was being dug tip to the recent suspension of work. The new entrance will be on a straight line from Toro point light to the mouth of Minde river and thence to the present Bauia dam.

Under this new scheme the advantage of making a shorter trip across the isthmus, will not only be gained, but considerable additional advantage will come from the utilization of part of the Minde river. 1 It is expected that ships will be able to go through the canal under their own power. When two ships have to pass each other in the canal one will have to stop aud wait to allow freer navigable conditions for the Individual ships in the restricted space. German Torpedo Boat Sinks.
