LONDON , July 22 1 a. m. The
Agence Eusse , a semi-official organ of
fthti adminietration at St. Petersburg ,
aiaya it anticipates an early solution ot
the Greek and Montenegrin ques
tions. No single power , Bays this
journal , ia likely to take the initiative
in bringing about an armed conflict
between Turkey and Greece. . Eu
rope's ttrencth consists in conct-ntra-
tiun upon all questions which affect
ihe common interests of the conti-
ment. A war at this time would be
inadvisable in itselF , but probably
would lead to such complications as
would threaten the stability of many
of the existing governments on the
continent.
A GREAT COUNCIL.
A Constantinople dispatch states
that the national council of Albania
-consisting of 260 delegates from dif-
it-rent cities and sections of the coun-
ttry assembled at Prisrend to discuss
questions raised by the pteaent aspect
of affairs between Albania and Greece
and Montenegro. Priarend , where
the council wwemblec , IB the capitol
af a tanjak nu the Riukat , four miles
f r m its confluence with ihe Drin and
eight miles east of Sortari. It is , the
Tesidenco of the Turkish government ,
3iis a kianufactury of fire arms and
maintains active trade with adjacent
towni. It is not expected that the
Limucil'wiU by . .anymrni be of ona ,
mind on the impending issue. Turkish - !
ish rule in Albania has not be n BO
popular ma to unite this brave but
miioellaneouB people into a defensive
body in this crisis. The Taekitris in
the south , who are of great etrength
and speak the modem Greek Ian-
xu&ge , wil probably instruct their
delegates to favor the views of Athens
and the concerted letter of the pow-
en. While on the other hand it ia
considered likely that the Turkish
Latin and possibly a part of the Ital
ian elements will favor the projects
and attitude of the Porte. In any
ewe the council will ba largely repre

eratlonR is awaited with much solic
itude at the Turkish capital.

NEW YOKK , July 21 i p. m. *
At & o'clock this morning the caisson
leading to the entrance of the Hudson
river tunnel , at Sixteenth street , Jer
sey City , oaved In , burying thirty
men. Eight were soon rescued , twen
ty-two remaining under the earthwith
the water rapidly pouring in from the
river. Steam fire engines were set at
work to save thtm from drowning , and
a great , excited crowd soon gathered.
Their efforts at" rescue were entirely
unavailing , and the buried ones were
drowned or smothered. Three men
are also miesing besides those whose
bodies were recovered.
Thonightgang were engfged in the
shaft ; twenty of them were sixty-five
feet below the surface , and ten were
working on an arch forty feet below
the surface. All but two of the lat
ter equad escaped. Through negli
gence the air lock was improperly ad
justed. Peter Woodland , assistant
superintendent ; Frank Aleston , fore
man ; Thomas Burns , foreman , and
nineteen workmen were killed. One
hundred men are now digging , but
cannot get to the tunnel in less than
three days.
HOW IT HAPPENED.
James Hayes , one of the last to es
cape , made the following statement :
There were 28 of us all told in the
tunnel at the time of the break in
the roof. I , with aix. others was at
work in the main shaft leading to the
twin tunnels which diverge from It and
about ten or twelve feet from the air
lock , which is about ten feet from the
shaft. All of UB had come
up to the top a short time
previous , .eating lunches and all
below to finish our watch expecting to
come up ngain at 8 o'clock when we
would be relieved by the other watch
aa none of us were employed on the
twin tunnels as < hcy already been
barred up their entire length 300 feet ,
All but myself were engaged in step
ping leaks overhead and on the aidu
prepaiatory to putting in a layer of
crown plates , so as to make this part
of the work conform to that already
completed. I was then attending to
the blow pipe connected with the air
lock and was suddenly startled by
hearing Superintendent Woodland aay
; stop those leaks , " pointiug to thereof
roof a short distance from
the door of tbe air lock. The words
had scarcely been uttered before I
beard a noise like that of escaping
steam and upon looking up saw thereof
roof of the tunnel crumbling in.
Knowing that all ground above and
surrounding the tunnel was made and
filled with water like a sponge , and
realizing the great danger in which wo
were placed , I , with others near ,
made rush for the door of the air lock
through which we had to pass to gain
shaft and safe'ty- Eight of us scrambled
into it and Woodland called to us to
close the door os as the air was escap
ing too rapidly. We tried to do so ,
but were prevented by Oelson and
Anderson , whrse bodies became
jammed in between it and the facing ,
preventing other men from getting in
side. The water by this time came
rushing into the air-lock reaching our
knees betoro we got to the door lead
ing to the shaft. How we ever man
aged to escape is a mystery. All I
know is that I was forced out and
then ran for the etahs leading from
the bottom to the top of the shaft.
We clambered up as fast as we could.
It was a race for life , but we beat the
water. Had not Anderson's
body interfered with the work
ing of the door othera of
the gang would have been saved.
I thought Woodland escaped , but the
poor fellow must have perished within -
in a few rods of the air lock.
Moses Pearson , engineer at the
mouth of the shaft , had been on duty
the greater part of the night and was
standing by the engine overlooking
the mouth of the shaft. He says a
cloud of dust suddenly arose on the
other side and Instantly afterwards
he saw the earth caving in.
Night watchman Badsell , who was
standing close at hand at the time ,
witnessed the same aighf. "I knew , "
he said , "that this meant something
terrible below , and throwing off my
coat descended the stairs to the bottom
tom and running to the air look
I motioned to men through the dead
eyes to attract their attention to the
danger. I then tried to cet inside but
the door was fastened. When I broke
in a glass eight men eventually suc
cessfully iu getting out , and they all
made for the stairs , KB the water was
rising rapidly and delay meant death.
It is a mistake when it is siid that
the water that followed us up came
from the river. It did
not , but on the contrary ,
from the wet soggy earth which is
loose refuse lying dumped there , and
is of the nature of compressed air
forced through the lock while men
were making the excavation , but the
moment the air escaped it left a va
cuum and the heavy weight of earth
ab'ove crushed in the supports and
everything gave way.
i President Haskins gave directions
for the pumping of all water from
ehc3 and a large force are now em
ployee ! .
Th > B afternoon additional and
powerful force pumps will ba put to
work. He ia of the opinion that it
will require fully three or four dtys
labor before the shaft can be cleared
of water sufficient to permit entry in
to the air locks , and tunnel workmen
employed in the tunnel say that lately
it has not been "uncommon to hear the
noise of escaping compressed air b- >
low. So often had they been attracted
by sound that'they had cause to have
fears on that account.
All the lost were residents of Jer-
&eV City or Hoboken , and a majority
of them were married and had fami-
Ifea. The superintendent is unable as
yet to determine the cvise of the dis-
o&t r , but thinks it may have been
caused by the looieniug of one of the
plnte ? through which the compressed
air. escsprg. The tunnel had been
completed for a distance of 300 feet
and entirely built up , except just ont-
tide. The lining of the tunnel is put
up of th-se plates till the maionry is
put up , and are supported by heavy
beams. Itis supposed oneof the beams
became loosened and the plate moved
from its position , allowing
the air to escape. The lessening of
the power which held up the roof
caused the ground to cave in. This
theory is probable , as the compressed
air engines and air reservoirs were in
good condition. Within a short time
after the accident the place was sur
rounded by large throngs of excited
people , among whom were the wives
and children of the unfortunate men ,
whose cries were heart-rending. All
the men that could be obtained were
set to work at digging a new shaft , in
order to reach the victims , but as they
are 70 feet below the ground and with
out air there is not tbe slightest hope
of getting them out alive. By work
ing mt > hc and day , it will be at least
three day before they can be reached.
The official report says eight men
escaped and twenty were drowned in
the tunnel disaster to-day. The re
port sheds no ligr < t on the accident.

HEROISM AND ORATII.
Special dispatch to TBS Bli.
JERSEY CITY , July 21 10 p. m.
Thos. Van Nostrand one of the men
rescued on the waste lock , gave the
reporter a thrilling account of his
nasrow escape. He said there were
twenty-eight men at work on the
tunnel. They went on at 12 o'clock
last night for au eight-hour shift. I
was at work near the east end of the
Wadle lock aud in the west end of
the tunnel. It nas about half p l
four o'clock when I heard the bolts
snap and the braces give way. At the
same time I felt.
'JL BUSH Or AIK
on my face. * I. started back with
seven of thajnen who were near me ,
and ran intQ th , waste lock. The
air proBouro-crpwdflil the doer ahut
at the east end. First it woa'WtfckoJ
by a joist , which wo pulled out , and
then the door slammed to. The lock
hax doors at both ends and glass dead
eyes. We could see the men inside
the tunnel ; water was feist rushing in.
Peter Woodland , the assistant super
intendent , stood at the door outside
the waste lock , which was stitionary.
It would not move with us without
knocking out the dead eyes. This
would bo fatal to the men outside , as
the water would rush in and drown
the men in an in < tunt. Woodland
knew this , but stood at the door. His
face was ghastly. While he realized
THE TEBKIBLE DANGER
he said to me , ' 'Tom , quick , burst
the dead eyes ; do what you can for
us. " I know it was death to us if I
did not do o. I obeyed the order.
As the glass broke the air rushed in
and the waste lock shot out into the
mam shaft leaving the man to drown
as the space occupied by the shaft
filled with water. In an instant we
were wholly stripped of our clothes.
When we crowded out we heard
THE RUSH OF WATER
at our back. It filled in fast , but ob
structions kept it back long enough
for us to eicape from the m in shaft.
It was all we could do to save our-
selves. Woodland was standing in
the water up to his waist when I last
saw him. It was sure death and I
had to knock out the dead eyes a * I
told you. He knew as well as I that
it WHA all over with him. I shall
never forget the look on his face or
sound of hi * voice as he told us to
favo ourselves , though the very act
was to insure his death.
HISTOKY OF THE TUNNKL.
NEW York , July 22,1 a. m. The
organization of the Hudson River
Tunnel company was begun several
yeais ngo by Col Hoskin. Ho finally
succe''ded in enlisting capitalists in
the enterprise , and applications were
made for chatters to both the New
Jersey and New York legislatures.
Considerable opposition was met
with from the various railroad
companies , and it' was not till last
wintur that the charter was obtained
at Albany. The corporation is known
as the Hudson Rivef Tunnel Railroid
company , with a capital of § 6,600,000.
Work has been going on slowly at in
tervals before , but on the first of No
vember , 1879 , it was begun earnestly
oniheshalt at the foot nf Fifteenth
street , Jersey City , and has been
prosecuted steadily over since. Noth
ing has yet been done on the New
York eide. The entire length of rhe
tunnel and approaches will be nearly
two and a balf miles.

noon to-day phys
ical condition is still reported good
A curious fact that Dr Tanner has
lately been increasing in weight on
tils diet of air and water has been
totally eclipsed now by the discovery
that he has been diminishing very
much in height. When he began his
Fast he measured 5 feet 5 inches , and
be now measures oniy5 feet 3A inches.
In undertaking to eiplain it some
physicians say that between each of
tlio 24 vertibue which make UD
the spiral column or back
bonp , there is a layer of cartilhge va
rying from one-eighth to one quarter
of an inch in thickness. These cart-
illauenoua tissues , they say , are al
ways first to suffer when a pttreon does
not occasion nourishment , from the
fact that they are not supplied with
blood vessels and have to depend en

Arthur's Successor co Go Out.
NEW YORK , July 22 , 1 a. m. It is
generally assorted in the custom house
hat Collector E. A. Merritt will re-
ire from office on the Grtt of August.
Whether General Sharpe or florae one
else will be his succusior ia not yet an-
lounced. Among the oiuB'S given
for the retirement of Oollect'-r Mer
ritt is that he has removed nnre thn
100 old and experienced officers since
10 has been collector to make places
for favorites , relatives and friends of
> olitical colleagues from St Lawrence ,
Jhatauqun , Franklin and E sex coun-
les , who lacked the necessary qualifi
cations for the important duties re
quired of them. Most of the ap
lointrnenta made in the past two
rears have been residents of the
counties named and of Ohio. Another
complaint against the collector is that
here are a large number of inspector ; ,
clerks , detectives and others holding
inecure positions under him , drawing
good salaries and performing little or
work. It is charged that the civil
srvice rules of the president have
teen openly disregarded or their in-
ent thwartad in many instances.
Another grievance felt by the mer
chants is that he has devoted most of
lia time to politics and politicians ,
eaving h's duies to be performed by ]
iis deputy , Mr. Balch.

Special Dlnatch to Tha DM.
NEW YORK , July 22 1 a. m. At
the new hojel at Coney bland ,
one thousand men , including COMODI ,
carpenters , painters , etc. , ' struck yes
terday for non payment of wages.
The men for tome time put hod no !
received their wages , and it-is said the
hottl company is in debt to each man
from $40 o $500. Tuesday afu rnoon
tb3 ; paymaster ofuthe company offered
the man 20 cents on aollir. h Ilia
proposition created tbe greatest alarm ,
and s.ima of the men threaUned tbtf
hotel if they were not paid in full.
Due bills were offered in Addition to
the 20 oer cent , but the offer was re
jected because the due bills could not
bo negotiated. The improvement
company's cipital stock was $700,000.
It has all been paid in and expended.
To bring into being the extensive
plans of the company $300,000 will be
needed in addition to the present lia-
bilitias. The hotel is yet far from
completion. The company is respon
sible to the boarding house proprie
tors for the board of mechanics and
laborers. These people refused to
accept 20 per cent , of their claims
and due bills for the balance
and at a conference yesterday
morning it was agreed to rtfase to
board the men any longer than 24
hours if the claims were not paid.
These claims amount to about f 18,000.
The boarding house keepers owe a
grocery man and bakei over $9,000
and he said that if he was not paid
yesterday he would shot down their
credit to day.
The contractors for carpets for the
hotel refused to trust them till their
pay had been guaranteed. Six
teen car loads of furniture
rom Chicago have been detained on
he switch at Far Roctaway for nearly
month. The officers of the corn-
any have assured the men that if
hey will accept 20 per cent the due
lilla will be met in twenty days. Ne-
[ otiations for a loan of half a million
dollars progress with a reasonable
Tospect of succen. Nine out of
very ten men refused to accept any-
hing less than the full amount , and
oclare that they will not leiume
work under any circumstance ! . About
00 men were willing to go to work
esterday morning , but were deterred
iy about 300 men carrying clubs , who
eclared that if the willing onei did
ot hold out they would crack their
kulls.
The watchman at the railroad
restle , fearing that an attempt wai
ob'e made to fire it , shot a man
amed Conners.
The strike was extended to railroad
iborera. What the result ot the
rouble will be no one can foretell.
The men are desperate and those
who have money are spending It for
* iquor for themselves and those who
are none. Serious trouble is aniici-
rted from this intemperance.
