PARIS. April 30.—An a-'cident with
in Lbe exposition grounds this after
noon enuaed the death of nine persons
and Injured nine others. A temporary
bridge broke, falling upon the crowds
underneath.
The dead are six men, two women
and one child.
One woman and a child are uniden
tified.
Tbe accident threw a pall over the
happlneee of an immense throng which
had profited by the magnificent
weather to visit the exposition. To
day’s was probably tbe record attend
j anew. Not merely the interior of tbe
. grounds but the precincts also were
crowded and the concourse was partic
ularly great along tbe Avenue de Suf
ren. which forms the northern boun
1 dary of the grounds.
Here is situated a big sideshow—the
i Celestial Globe. A footbridge, on
. which the finishing touches were being
' put today, crosses the Avenue de Suf
ren connecting the sideshow with the
exhibition. It was constructed of
wood, with a stucco facade and with a
plaster-made tower at each end.
Strangely enough, the bridge had
been condemned only this morning as
unsafe by the exposition authorities.
; The public was therefore not allowed to
go upon the structure and in this way
a disaster even more terrible than that
which occurred was averted.
The gay crowd was passing along
the avenues and some hundred or more
persons were walking beneath the
bridge when suddenly an ominous
crash was heard. Before those under
neath could turn aside the structure
fell with a fearful crash, burying near
ly fifty.
A shout of horror rose from the spec
I tatora. mingled with the cries of ;he
victims. For a moment nothing could
be distinguished but a cloud of dust
and plaster. A scene of the greatest
excitement and confusion followed.
But this was only for a few seconds.
Almost imediately the crowd attacked
the debris in an effort to release those
lying beneath.
The workmen within the grounds
who bad witnessed the accident, the po
lice and the republican guards, togeth
er with quite a number of soldiers,
joined in the rescue work. The prome
naders forgot their Sunday attire and
covered themselves with dirt and
grime in tearing away the rubbish
with their hands. Wooden beams and
poles were brought from the half fin
ished buildings near by and were used
as levers to raise the failen mass.
The victims first recovered were
mostly only the Injured, the dead being
found later beneath the center of the
structure. Messengers were dispatched
to bring firemen and sappers with
tteir equipments and the first body was
found after a quarter of an hour s’fran
tic labor. It was that of a little girl
about 4 years of age. whose bead was
horribly crushed. Victim after victim
was brought to light until a row of six
mutilated corpses had been placed
upon the sidewalk and nearly fortv
other persons, some badly and others
less seriously Injured, had been car
ried in ambulances or driven to the
hospitals.
A family, composed of father, mother
and two girls, narrowly escaped de
struction. The parents, who happened
to be a little ab*>ad. had gone under the
bridge the children following, just at
the moment of the collaspe. The par
ents were killed, but the children
sprang back and escaped with a few
scratches. A cyclists wheeel was
•mashed, but he himself escaped un
hurt.

WASHINGTON, April 30.—Admiral
Dewey was seen today at his home just
before leaving the city for Chicago
and was asked if be had any statement
to make about the presidency.
"No,” said he. "I think it would be
In bad taste for me to say anything of
a political nature just at this time. As
the admiral of the navy I accepted the
Invitations to visit Chicago, Jackson
ville, St, Louis. Memphis, Nashville
and Knoxville, which cities had asked

i wish anything political to enter into
the trip.”
Accompanied by Mrs. Dewey and his
private secretary, Lieutenant Caldw'ell,
the admiral left here today at noon in
a special train over the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad for Cmcago. to partici
pate in the celebration of the second
anniversary of the battle of Manila,
The train was one of the finest which
has ever left the capital city and is
scheduled to reach Chicago at 11
o’clock tomorrow morning. It consist
ed of three handsome cars, fitted with
every luxury to insure the greatest
possible comfort for the travelers.
Upon the central windows on either
side of the three cars was painted the
admiral’s flag and the hotel car was
profusely decorated with flowers and
potted plants.
Just before the train pulled out of
the station. Mrs. Dewey was presented
with a handsome bouquet of American
i Beauty roses. Probably 1.000 people
were on hand and a cheer went up as
the train pulled out. J. H. Maddy of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad accom
panied the party in order to give his
personal supervision to the trip.

"It is to be McKinley and Bryan.
Mr. Cleveland will not allow his name

conditions are so changed that the

sides have so many new conditions
to confront that the old tactics win
not do. I think the democrats will

Wilson gave an expression to his
views regarding the candidacy of Ad
miral Dewey.
"He is innocent of the game of pol
itics.” he said, "and has .undered in
his bluntness, as blunt people often do.
He will blunder out of it again as sud

things suddenly. He generally antici

The commandoes that had recently

however, in many cases that this is

Besson* Why It Will Be Befaeed—By
This Mean* Turkey Would Evade Pay
ment to Other Power*—A Condition
that I* Growing Interesting.
CONSTANTINOPLE. April 28—The
American note handed to the Turkish
minister of foreign affairs, Tewik
Pasha, on Tuesday, is couched
in peremptory terms, demanding
immediate payment of the in
demnity several tmes promised
to Minister Strauss by the sultan.
The note does not fix the time limit
for an answer* but its tenor is not far
from the character of an ultimatum.
It has produced a great impression
upon the porte, which, however, shows
no disposition to modify the attitude
htherto maintained, namely, repudiat
ing the responsibility and seeking to
diminish the imoprtance of the matter.
It is presumed that the porte's reply
will be in this sense, and hence it is
feared the United States government
will be obliged to take steps to enforce
its demands.
Turkey's decision to send an officer
to America to study naval construction
is interpreted to be another sop. It
is the revival of an old project to buy
a cruiser in the United States at a price
in which the Indemnity shall be delud
ed, so that the porte will be able to
aay It has not paid the indemnity. The
American government has already
categorically refused such a compro
mise which would mean prolonged ne
gotiations and the dragging out of the
matter indefinitely, to which the United
States will not listen. As regards the
Indemnity it is in the nature of a debt
of honor, if the porte wants to buy a
cruiser that is a matter in no way con
nected with the indemnity.
The porte’s reply to the last collect
ive note on the subject of duties has
not been made, and the embassies are !
exchanging views in rgard to the terms
on which to consent to an increase of
duty. It is thought that before the be
ginning of negotiations the embassies
will invite the porte to abolish ran
soms and measures introduced in viola
tion of treaties.
j WASHINGTON. U. C.. April 28.—
Beyond the statement that Mr. Gris
: com. United States charge d'affaires at
Constantinople, has been instructed to
j press vigorously for the payment of the
j American claims for indemnity, the
officials here decline to divulge the
nature of his instructions. They say
that Mr. Griscom does not need express
instructions to forward the claims, for
he had of his own volition taken a
rather advanced attitude in this matter
and the presentations he is now mak
ing. though this time by express in
sruction. are in no respect more
peremptory than his own preceding de
liveries to the Turkish government.
Novel though the proposition was
from a diplomatic standpoint, yet it is
learned to be true that the effort was
made by the porte to pay this American
claim under cover of an order for a
war 6hip to be built in the United
8tates for Turkey.
The reasons for the failure of the
project were several. The United
States government has no war ships
for sale, and is not authorized to build
any for foreign order. Then there is
no warrant of law for entering into an
arrangement with a private ship build
ing concern for the collection of an
International obligation in the manner
purposed. Lastly, Judging by the ex
perience of concerns that have had
dealings with the Turkish government,
any shipbuilder accepting the order
from Turkey would require a guaranty
from the United States government,
and the net result of the transaction
might be the assumption by the United
States of an obligation as much larger
than the original claims as the price
of a battleship exceeds the $90,000.
Senate Admits Mr. Scott.
WASHINGTON, April 28—The sen

The number of votes in the negativ®

was the motion of Pettus to recommit
the question to the committee with in

oughly. Turner of Washington while
saying he knew nothing of the case
except what he had heard in the course
of debate, declared that if the facts
were as stated by Pettus, Scott was not
entitled to his seat. He believed there
had been duplicity, double-dealing and
fraud in the election of Scott.

ALLEN BEACHES PORTO RICO.
Accompanied by Three American War
Vessels—Simple Ceremonle*.
SAN JUAN, P. R., April 28.—The U.
S. S. Dolphin, bearing Charles Herbert
Allen, the newly appointed civil gov
ernor of Porto Rico, dropped anchor
off San Juan at 10 o’clock this morn
ing, as did also the United States ar
mored cruiser New York, the United
States battleship Texas and the United
States gunboat Machias.
General Davis, military governor,
visited Allen on board the Dolphin at
11:30. A detachment of seventy-five
insular police and four companies of
the Porto Rico regiment, with a band,
were drawn up on the wharf. The band
played “Borinquen,’’ the Porto Rico na
tional air, and the steamers lying in the
harbor kept up a continuous whistling
until the launch reached the land
ing.
The governor took breakfast with
General Davis, and with his family
will remain as the guest of General
Davis indefinitely. He landed in an
ordinary costume, straw hat, blue coat
and duck trousers, and a wrave of
exclamations followed the carriage.
“That can’t be Mr. Allen,” said one.
"That’s not the new governor,” said
another. “Not that man in the straw
hat, surely not.”
The simplicity of the costume and of
the general details of the reception
took the Porto Ricans by surprise and
they could scarcely realise that they
looked upon the new governor.

the prisoner will occupy commands a
magnificent view, taking in a great
sweep of the Missouri river, beyond
which the green hills and fertile farms
extend as far as the eye can reach.

The Free Home* BIU.
WASHINGTON. April 30.—It now
seems certain that the free homes bill
will pass the house without serious
opposition, but will meet with strong
obstacles In the senate. It is learned
that Senator Allison is strongly op
possed to the measure and will op
pose it on the ground that !t will
dissipate (50.000.000 of the public
money. The friends of the bill, in
cluding Representative Lacey, chair
man of the bouse committee on pub
lic lands, say that the amount In
volved in the proposition will not ex
ceed (30.000.000. If that much.
