PARIS , April 30. An incident with
in the exposition grounds this after
noon caused the death of nine persons
and Injured nine others. A temporary
bridge broke , falling upon the crowds
underneath.
The dead arc six men , two women
and one child.
Ono woman and a child are uniden
tified.
The accident threw a pall over the
happiness of an immense throng which
had profited by the magnificent
weather to visit the exposition. To
day's was probably the record attend
ance. Not merely the Interior of the
grounds but the precincts also were
crowded and the concourse was partic
ularly great along the Avenue do Suf-
ren , which forms the northern boun
dary of the grounds.
Hero Is situated a big sideshow the
Celestial Globe. A footbridge , on
which the finishing touches were being
put today , crosses the Avenue do Suf-
icn , connecting the sideshow with the
exhibition. It was constructed of
wood , with a stucco facade and with a
piaster-made tower at each end.
Strangely enough , the bridge had
been condemned only this morning ns
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 wore walking beneath the
bridge when suddenly an ominous
crash was heard. Before thoae under
neath could turn aside the structure
foil with a fearful crash , burying near
ly fifty.
A shout of horror rose from the spec
tators , mingled with the cries of * , he
victims , For a moment nothing could
bo distinguished but a cloud of dust
and plaster. A scene of the greatest
excitement and confu&ion followed.
.But this was only for a few seconds.
Almost imedlately the crowd attacked
the debris in an effort , to release these
lying beneath.
The workmen within the grounds
who had witnessed the accident , the po
lice and the republican guards , togeth
er with quite a number of soldiers.
Joined In the rescue work. The promo-
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 lovers to rnlso the fallen mass.
The victims first recovered were
mbstly only the injured , the dead being
found later beneath the center of the
structure. Messengers wore dispatched
to bring firemen and sappers with
thqlr 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 7 years of ago , whose head 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 forty
other poisons , some badly and others
less seriously Injured , had been car-
rled 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 bo a little ahead , had gone under the
bridge , the children following. Just at
the moment of the collnspo. The par
ents were killed , but the children
sprang back and escaped with a few
scratches. A '
cyclist's wheeel was
smashed , but he himself escaped un
hurt.

CONSTANTINOPLE , .April 23. 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 tmcs promised
to Minister Strauss by the sultan.
The note docs not fix the time limit
for an answer , but Its tenor is not far
from the character of aa ultimatum.
It has produced a great Impression
upon the porte , which , however , shows
no disposition to modify the attitude
hthcrto maintained , namely , repudiat
ing the responsibility and seeking to
diminish the Imoprtancc of the mutter.
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
Us 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 nclud-
ed , so that the portc will be able to
say It lias 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 hcnor. if the portc 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 arc
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.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , April 28.
Beyond the statement that Mr. Gris-
com , United States charge d'affaires at
Constantinople , has been instructed to
press vigorously for the payment of the
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 jirecedlng de
liveries to the Turkish government.
Novel though the proposition was
from a diplomatic standpoint , yet it is
learned to bo true that the effort was
made by the portc to pay this American
claim under cover of an order for a
war ship to be built In the United
States 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 bo 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 IMr. Scott.
WASHINGTON , April 28. The sen

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.
