NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—-The second day’s session Of the Catholic Total Abstinence union of America was not called to order until after 11 o’clock. At 9 o’clock the delegates attended the solemn requiem mass in the Paulist church, Fifty-ninth street and Ninth avenue, for the repose of the souls of deceased members of the un- ion. , Rev. T. J. O’Callaghan Of the Paulist church was celebrant, Rev. Father Galla- gher Of Denver deacon and Rev. Father McKenna of Marlboro, Mass, subdeacon. The altar was dressed in mourning, and a chancel choir of 60 voices chanted the responses. All the delegates were the blue ribbon of the order. There was much discussion in the early morning hours regarding the passage at arms at the Carnegie hall meeting last night betWeen State Senator O’Sullivan and President Roosevelt Of the police board. The latter was warmly praised, and as a result of the meeting it is pretty certain that the local excise question will be handled by the committee on resolu. tions. Senator O’Sullivan’s speech in favor of a more liberal excise law and a more gen- -erous enforcement of the law at present on the statute books, delivered in Carne- gie Music hall last night before the Cath- olic National Total Abstinence union, and the vigorous reply of President Roosevelt of the police board form a big topic of conversation throughout the city today. O’Sullivan is known as the one armed orator of Tammany Hall, and he declared in unmistakable terms for the Wigwam last night. Making such a speech before such an audience, it was to be expected that his remarks would not be received with any show of enthusiasm. Few, how- ever, were prepared for the storm of hisses which greeted his every utterance and for the wild and enthusiastic cheering which greeted Commissioner Roosevelt at every stage of his defiant reply. At the conclusion of the mass the dele- gates repaired to Columbus hall on Six- tieth street, which was tastefully decorat- ed with flags of all nations, and at a few minutes after 11 the convention was called to order by its president, Rev. Father Ca- rey. Many telegrams and letters of regret for nonattendance were received. The committee on credentials, appoint- ed at the opening of the convention yester- day, reported that there were more dele- gates present than at any previous conven- tion of the order. This announcement was received with cheers, indicating as it did a wonderful spread of the union and the interest felt in the work. Rev. Dr. Hargis Dead. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 9.-——Rev. Dr. James Hepburn Hargis, a prominent Methodist clergyman and the presiding elder of the west district of the Philadel- phia conference, died today. The disease was one of acute kidney trouble, compli- cated with an affection of the heart. Rev. Dr. Hargis was born in Maryland in 1847. He received his education at Dickinson college, where he graduated in 1871. Three Trainmen Killed. PLYMOUTH, N. H., Aug. 9.——In a head on collision between the Cannon Ball ex- press, south bound, and a freight train, north bound. ‘ust south of this place today three trainmcn were killed. The dead are Frank Stevens of Lakeport, engineer of the express; George Merrill of Lakeport, fireman of the express, and Henry Glines of Northfield, fireman Of the freight. The Mississippi Democrats.

TROUBLE ABOUT THE JURY. One of the Jurors Once Stood Out For Ac- .quittal—Possibility That Change of Venue May Be Obtained—Ab- surd Stories of Bribery. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9.——With seven jurors secured the trial of Theodore Du- rant for the murder of Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams in Emanuel church last April has come to an unexpected halt. Just after the opening of court Dis-- triet Attorney Barnes and Mr. Dick- inson, one of the attorneys for the defense, held a consultation with Judge Murphy, after which Mr. Barnes asked for an ad‘ journment Of the case. The attorneys for the defense concurred in the request. Mr. Barnes said that certain circum~ stances had arisen which made it necessa- ry to ask for the adjournment. Judge Murphy said he was opposed to any unnec- essary delay, but he. thought an adjourn- ment was proper in view of what had been communicated to him. Walter S. Brown, one of ‘the jurors, arose during the proceedings and asked to make a statement. The court, however, declined to hear him until a more suitable time, and an adjournment was taken. Through United States Secret Service Agent Harris the prosecution and defense have been informed that Juror Walter S. Brown served as a juror in the case of M. D. Howell, on the second trial for coun- terfeiting some time ago. The jury in the Howell case disagreed. Five stood for ac- quittal and seven for conviction. Brown was one of the five who refused to agree to a verdict of guilty. The evidence against Howell was strong. and the au- thorities were positive they would secure conviction. As soon as ' the disagreement was re- corded Secrct Service Agent Harris openly said he thought some of the jury had been approached by the defense. There was an investigation which resulted in five jurors who stood out for acquittal being sum- moned to appear before the federal grand jury. The Investigation Proved Nothing. The affair caused considerable talk at the time, and as it was generally known that Howell had expended something like $60, 000 in his defense it was the general impression that some of the money had been used to “hang” the jury. The in- vestigation of the federal grand jury last« ed a long time and proved nothing. Another Durant juror, C. P. Nathan, it is said, has stated repeatedly in crim- inal trials in, Sacramento that he would not vote to inflict the death penalty under any circumstances. When examined in Durant’s case, Nathan said he had no such scruples. The case is now at a standstill. Dis- trict Attorney Barnes, Judge Murphy, at- torneys for the defense, Deuprey and Dick- inson, and the police officials have been in - conference today, but have not announc- ed the course to be pursued. Possibly a motion for change of 'venue to another county will be made and grant- ed. Another possible course will be to fill the panel and then peremptorily challenge Brown and Nathan. Under the law pass. ed by the last legislature the district at- torney may call for 14 jurors, two to serve. as substitutes. In this way Brown and Nathan may be kept from serving. There are rumors of bribery, but it is known that Durant has little money,_and they are not credited. His defense is be- ing paid for by his parents, and, it is said, by members of the national guard signal corps, to which he belonged. Juror Brown was interviewed about the Howell case by a reporter, and it is said Judge Murphy will cite for contempt the juror, the reporter and several editors of the paper in question. \Varships of Newport.

An Indlgnation Meeting Held In Hong- kong—Willingness to Accept Mon- ey Compensation Denounced. More Fanatical Outbreaks. LONDON, Aug. 9.—A dispatch to The Pall Mall Gazette from Shanghai says that further and reliable news of an alarming nature has been" received there. It is stated that fanatical outbreaks against the Christians have occurred at Ching-Chow, a seaport of the province of Fukien. and at Hupeh, Taiping and An- Hui. These outbreaks, it is added, are not merely the work of vegetarians, but they are said to be organized and carried out by the Chinese officials. The extent of the damage done, it appears, is not yet known, but the foreigners are reported to have escaped. Owing to the unsettled state of the province, 200 Sikhs, reliable British In- dian troops from Hongkong, will escort the British consul from Fuchau to Ku- Chang, where the consul will conduct an inquiry into the recent outrages. In conclusion the Shanghai correspond- ent of The Pall Mall Gazette expresses the opinion that further outrages are inevita- ble unless Great Britain “takes swift and deadly vengeance. ” In regard to the dispatch from Hong- kong announcing that the British and American missions at Fat-Shun, near Canton, were attacked yesterday after. noon by a large and infuriated mob, which demolished the hospitals and caused some of the missionaries to flee to Shameen, it is stated that the Wesleyan mission has one of the most important medical mis- sions in China at Fat-Shan. The hospital and station are under the charge of Dr. Wanyon, who has just arrived here after a perilous overland journey, during which he was arrested in Armenia as a spy. The rest of the mission staff of the Wesleyan mission at Fat~Shan are Chinese. They were attacked a few years ago, upon which occasion a missionary was killed. Mr. Rockhill’s Views. A representative Of the press has had an interview with Mr. W W. Rockhill, third assistant secretary Of state of the United States, who was one of the delegates to the recent international geographical cen- gress, and who returns to New York on Saturday next. Referring to the massa- cres in China, Mr. Rockhill said he thought it was a great mistake for the missionaries to have returned so soon to the outlying stations after the conclusion Of the war, especially as they had been warned of the danger of so doing. Mr. Rockhill could not say anything about what the United States and British gov- ernments might be expected to do under the circumstances, but he expressed him- self as being certain that the diplomatic representatives of the different countries interested would make a common cause Of such cases, as they did when the Swedish missionaries were murdered at Sang-Pu. Continuing, Mr. Rockhill said he thought the vegetarians must be the North China society known as the Tsaili, who are not so much vegetarians as abstainers and nonsmokers. They are neither a po« litical nor an antiforeign society, and ac— cording to Mr. Rockhill a number of the servants of the United States ministry at Peking are members of it. lVliere Our Vessels Are. WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—The state de- partment has not called on the secretary of, the navy for war vessels to assist in protecting the missions, but it is known at both departments that the Petrel on her recent voyage up the Yang-tsc river assisted in maintaining quiet. There has been received at the state department a report from the consul general in which he quotes from one of the French fathers at Wuhu, stating that the arrival of the Petrel Was providential, saving many lives and preventing anticipated trouble. British Consul Ford confirms the report and says that had it not been for the American gunboat the foreigners at Wuhu would have suffered in the riots. The Petrcl is the only vessel of the Asi- atic squadron which can go up the river any considerable distance, the others be- ing of too great draft. The Petrel on her last voyage went 600 miles above Shang- hai. This would not bring the vessel to the immediate scene of the first disturb- ance, but- it is believed that if a vessel were sent up there it would have a quiet- lng effect on the rioters. Acting Secreta- ry McAdoo today sent for the list of ves- sels on the Asiatic station, with their po- sitions, and will consider moving them so as to better protect American interests. The Detroit is at Shanghai, the mouth of the Yang-tse river, but it would be use- less for her to attempt to ascend the Yang- tse. The Petrel, the lightest of the fleet, is at Yokohama, a long distance away. There is no disposition to interfere with Admiral Carpenter’s management Of his squadron unless the state department should ask for a vessel, but it is thought at the navy department that it would be well to have the Patrol on the Chinese coast in case of -her immediate need. Ad- miral Carpenter may be so advised. At the Chinese legation the statement is reiterated that the general government will do everything in its power to sup- press the Chinese outbreaks and punish the offenders. Indignation In Hongkong. HONGKONG, Aug. 9.—At a public indig- nation meeting just held here resolutions Were passed expressing anger at the sup« posed connivanceof the Chinese govern- ment in the Ku-Chang massacres and dis- gust at the apathy and indifference of the British government in failing to recognize the gravity of the situation. Those pres- ent at the meeting further declared that money compensation for such outrages is Wholly inadequate, and that swift and stern action is required. An Appeal From Ministers. JACKSON, Miss, Aug. 9.—Bishop Gal- loway of this city yesterday received 8. ca- blegram from Rev. Drs. Parker and Reid, at Shanghai, ,which reads as follows: “Horrible massacre. More danger.

The Argument of Senator Blanchard For the Claimants. Wasnmerou, Aug. 9.-The hearing in the sugar bounty case now pending before Comptroller of the Treasury Bowler was resumed in the office of that Ofiicial today. Senator Blanchard of Louisiana began the day’s proceedings. In arguing the case for the sugar men he said that he and the men associated with him would present the argument under three general heads. They would contend, first, that the comp- troller of the treasury is without authority to question the validity of an act of con- gress; second, that the appropriation called in question is of constitutional warrant; third, that if it be not constitutional strong equities existed justifying congress in making the apprOpriathn, and that congress has equitable jurisdiction. Ad‘- dressing himself particularly to the first contention, he said, after stating the facts about the Oxnard company: “The attitude of the comptroller is one Of apparent resistance to the execution Of an act of congress. If the comptroller may refuse his sanction to the proper pro- ceedings required to take this money from the treasury after its appropriation by congress, no appropriation whatever is safe. The president, it seems, must ap- prove an appropriation act as a whole or veto it as awhole. He cannot, by the con- stitution, approve certain items of appro~ priation in the bill and vote others which do not meet his approval. But not so the comptroller. He is circumscribed by no such narrow limit. ” The acts Of congress, Mr. Blanchard as- serted, constituted the comptroller an ad- ministrative or ministerial officer invested with no judicial authority whatever. Even ' though he performed certain quasi judi- cial functions, the senator proceeded to inquire whether it was within the comp- troller’s province to question the validity of the statute under consideration. After quoting numerous authorities and citing decisions be asserted that the very utmost the executive branch could do in the way of inquiry into the constitutionality of a law was to ask the opinion of the attorney general. But the act of congress consti- tuted a rule operative on the comptroller until it was declared by the judicial power void. AMERICAN IRON FOR JAPAN.

A Tall Structure In New York Falls With Fearful Results. SEVERAL PEOPLE -WILL DIE. , The Place Was Alive With Workman When the Catastrophe Occurred Without a Moment's Warning— List of the Unfortunate Ones. NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-—-The middle sec- tion of the big unfinished eight story'build‘ ing on the northeast corner of West Third street and South Fifth avenue fell do‘VVn today. The whole interior of the building was wrecked. A number of workmen were buried in the wreck; how many is not known. Eighty odd men were at work in the building. The great majority escaped. One was taken out dead, four alive. One of these died later. Over ten were yet supposed to be under the wreck after an hour of unsteady effort to marshal the liv- ing. Some ran away in their fright and may be heard of later. The list of casual- ties as far as made up is as follows: Killed—Charles Smith of 217 East N inety-sixth street, dug out at 12:20 p. m. alive and taken to St. Vincent’s hospital, died later; John Burke, a plasterer of Brooklyn. Injured—William Fox, Roosevelt hos- pital; James Kenny, New York hospital; Neal Guider, New York hospital. . Missing.—- Jack Murphy, Atlantic ave- nue, near Classon avenue, Brooklyn; Christopher Rourke, St. Mark’s avenue, near Grand avenue, Brooklyn; Michael O’Hare, Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn; Mi- chael Savage, Michael Flynn of Third ave- nue, Brooklyn; Edward Hanlon, John Maguire, —— Feeney, John O’Berg, su- perintendent of the Alexander Chamber- lain Electrical company; Charles Peterson, electrician; —— Bolton, electrician; two plasterers, names unknown. What Caused the Accident. The accident was caused by the over- loading of the floors in the center section of the building. The wrecked building is conspicuous in the landscape to travelers on the Sixth avenue elevated railroad all the Way down to Grand street. Its yellow brick walls, tOWering above the surrounding struc- tures, are sharply outlined against the green background of Washington square. Its walls stand yet, but the entire core of the structure is gone. The building had been roofed over only a few weeks ago. It stood eight stories high, with a front of 100 feet on South Fifth avenue, adjoining the Central flats, upon which the fireman used to crawl up and down at exhibition drills on parade day. ‘ John Ireland, a real estate dealer of 59 Liberty street, is the owner of the struc- ture. He gave out the contract for build- ing it to John H. Parker of 215 East Ninety-fourth street. The J. B. &. J. M. Cornell company furnished the iron- work, and John Guider contracted for the plastering. The ironwork was as good as finished, and the plasterers had gone to work on every floor. No \Varning of the Collapse. The crash came just before 11 o‘clock. It came like a clap of thunder, utterly without warning. Passersby in the street heard a deafening roar that made their knees tremble with a dread of the end of all things. The ground shock and heaved under their feet, and a smothering dust cloud arose and shut out everything. Men and women ran out of their houses in terror. They did not know what was ' coming or which way to turn. They cried to each other in the street what was the matter and received no answer. The cloud lifted slowly and discovered the new building on the corner as its source. There was no debris in the street. It had all fallen within, but through gaps made in the stone pillars swung loose iron beams that pointed to a big open space within where first there had been iron and brick. Bleeding and bewildered men crawled out on hands and feet. . Men ran to their assistance from every- where as soon as they saw what had hap- pened. Those who were in sight or were strug- gling to get out were dragged away to safety. Louisville and the G. A. B.
