Disastrous Seismic Disturbance on Both Sides of the Dardanelles De­ stroys Towns and Renders Many Thousand Homeless and In Want- TWO SURVIVORS TELL STORY Thirty-Sfx Soldiers and More Than Tvirenty Passengers Slaughtered In Canyon Near Mexico City by Rebel Party. Mexico City, Aug. H---Thirty-six soldiers and more than twenty passen­ gers were slaughtered by Zapatistas in a canyon one kilometer north of Ticuman. 110 miles southeast of Mex- lc Ctty Sunday, when a passenger train south-bound from thi6 city was attacked from ambush. So far as known enly a part of the train crew escaped. The news of the massacre was pent to Mexico City by the conductor and Marino Dominguez, who, although wounded, managed to make their way to Yautepec, twelve miles awav. They were forced to steal through the Zapatista lines and did not arrive at the telegraph station until Monday j afternoon. j After a murderous rifle Are had j ceased the rebels swarmed down the j hillside and ser fire to the three cars | composing the train. A few of the [ wounded had crawled out onto the | right of way, thus escaping the fate , of those unable to leave the cars, who | were burned. ! According to reports the leader of ' the rebels made absolutely no effort to restrain his men from acts of bru- I talitv greater than any that has yet ' marked the campaign in the south. I The wounded, pleading for their lives, were struck down without pity, and ; even looting was held in abeyance until the slaughter was completed. Not satisfied with robbing their vie- ; time in an ordinary manner, the fingers of men and women were ' chopped off with machetes, that rings they wore might be more quick- , ly obtained. Ornaments were torn from efcrs of women and their bodies ' we re o the rwise mut i l a t ed . j Among the passengers were two | newspaper men and they were among those killed.

The newspapers now place the number of victims at 1,000 killed, while the injured number from 5,000 to 6,000. The entire district between Con­ stantinople and Adrianople felt the shock severely. Fugitives from Myriophito report 300 killed and 600 Injured. The town was still burning when they left. Ganos-Hora has been destroyed, 80 persons being killed and 30 wounded. The wrecked build- > Ings took fire and most of them were burned to the ground. Shar-Koi was demolished and two nearby villages were engulfed. Adrianople suffered little damage, but Tchorlu was partly wrecked by the earthquake. The center of the disturbance ap­ pears to have been in the region of the Dardanelles. The majority of the houses in Galli- poli are in ruins and the people are camping in the fields. Tchanak- Kalessi is in an equally bad plight, but the loss of life in these towns is small, although the injured are many. Warships anchored in the Darda­ nelles felt the shock severely. It was first attributed to Italian torpedo boats. Tke captain of the American steamer Virginia reports that the lighthouse at Ganos-Hora, in the Sea of Marmora, has disappeared and that the villages in the surrounding coun­ try are In flames. The city of Tchorlu has a population of 10,000 and lies 44 miles northeast of Gallipoli. It was wrecked. SIXTEEN ALDERMEN IN DETROIT PLACED UNDER ARR|jBT.

The sacrifice was the price exacted by the jefe politico' for the sacking of the town which had occurred sev­ eral weeks before by rebels. The jefe politico was powerless to resist the attack and, In retaliation, ordered the slaughter, professing to believe that in killing the people he was punishing the rebels. The butchery began In the Jail. Sunday morning. Most of the passen­ gers belonged to the farmer and low­ er classes. By costly experience the troops had learned to be on the alert, but from the time they left the national capital not the least hostility had been encountered until the train ran into the canyon. Here a rail had been loosened and as the locomotive left the track a volley of rifle shots was poured into the train.

Montreal, Aug. 14.--The Allan line steamer Corsican, bound for Liver­ pool from this port, with 200 passen­ gers, struck an iceberg Monday aft­ ernoon east of Belle Isle Straits, at the mouth of the St. Lawrence river, between Labrador and Newfoundland. According to the wireless reports received here, the Corsican was pro­ ceeding at low speed through a dense fog, which the eyes of the lookout were unable to penetrated The cold gave warning of t h e near­ ness of icebergs and every precaution was taken to avoid accident, but there suddenly loomed up betore the 6hip the monster wall of ice and before the si^ifil to reverse the engine could be given there was a terrific crash as the boat ra'ji:;i"<l The frozen wall. Passengers were thrown irom their feet and there occurred what threat­ ened to develop into a serious panic, but the fog which caused the collision probably saved the lives of many through the fact thaf they werfj un­ able to see the towerlike mountain of ice through it. Before many of the passengers had learned the cause cf the crash officers of the ship had assured them that there was no danger The Corsican procet (led on its voy­ age.

The pro­ vision for free tolls, which was fought out In the senate Wednesday, was in­ dorsed again just before the passage of the measure. By a vote of 49 to 18 an amend­ ment, offered by Senator Smith of Georgia, was adopted, limited the house provision against railroad own­ ership of boat lines to those operated through the canal. The most Important amendment was offered by Senator Reed of Mis­ souri. This was carried by a vote of 35 to 28. It forbids any ship to go through the canal which is owned directly or indirectly by any com­ pany or corporations In violation of the anti-trust act. An amendment offered by Senator Bourne was also adopted by a vote of 36 to 25, which gives absolute con­ trol to the interstate commerce com­ mission over companies not running a business through. the Panama canal. If they own directly or Indirectly any water line of transportation. It gives the commission authority either to compel such corporation to dispose of their holdings or else to bring it under whatever consideration the interstate commerce commission may decide upon. The bill carries with It, of course, the measure providing for free tolls for American ships, contrary to the protest of Great Britain. The free toll amendment was carried by the senate by a conclusive majority. SUFFRAGETTES ARE JAILED Women Who Threw Ax and Fired Dublin Theater During Asquith's Visit Get Five Years Each.

Port au Prince, Haiti, Aug. 10.-- Four hundred persons were killed or injured Thursday In an explosion and fire that destroyed the palace. Gen­ eral Cincinnati Leconte, president of the republic, who with his family, were sleeping in the palace at the time, was among those who perished. His family escaped. The fire was caused by an explosion of the powder magazine attached to the building. Leconte had held his office only a year or two. He was leader of the victorious faction in a revolutionary movement, one of the periodical strug­ gles for control of the government. The explosion occurred at 3:15 o'clock in the morning from an un­ explained cause, and the shock shat­ tered the palace. Fire followed quick­ ly and the building, a wooden struc­ ture, was consumed within half an hour. All the houses around the palace were greatly damaged by the explo­ sion, but as the palace Itself was iso­ lated the firemen succeeded in their efforts to localize the fire.

Steepest In World. , The rack road up Mount Pllatus, one «f the loftiest peaks of the Bernese Alpa, in Switzerland, is said to have the steepest grade of any road in the -World not operated by cables. Rising from the western shore of Lake Lu­ cerne the rails ascend the precipitous aide of the mountain, 6,998 feet to its summit. When the road was being construct­ ed it was necessary to fasten Bpikes Into the rock, says" Railroad Men's Magazine, against which the construc­ tion gang could brace their feet while laying the roadbed. Starting from an elevation of 1,450 feet above the sea level, this line climbs 5,400 feet in a distance of 15,- 150 feet to the summit. The grade at the station of Alpnachstad Is 36 per cent. At no place Is It less than 19 per cent In several places It Is 48 per cent In order to climb the graces an entirely new system was devised by Col. E. Locber. The roadbed is built throughout of solid masonry, capped with granite flagstone. The ties are steel channel bars, anchored 'to tho masonry with U-shaped bolts at every three feet. The gauge is 2.52 feet The rails, as In other rack railroads, merely sup. port the weight of the train. The track bars are set on edge, so that the -cogs are vertical. This arrange­ ment is necessary because on the steepest grades cog wheels would havo a tendency to climb out of. any horizontal rack. Engine and car are built on a single frame. The horizontal boiler, six feet long, is placed crosswise of the track, eo that the water level in It will not be disturbed on the grades. The speed is a little more than three feet a second, or about two miles an hour. Thirty-two passengers are carried. Parts of this road, particularly on the Eselwand, an immense, rocky wall nearly vertical, are the most sensar tional bits of road building to be found anywhere. The railroad*creeps along the face of this wall of rock on a shelf tilted up at an angle of 58 per cent. Men had to be suspended over the precipice with ropes to start the work. There are four short tunnels on this precipice. This remarkable line was built in 400 days. The Wretchedness of Constipation Ctft quickly be overcome by CARTER'S LITTLE UVER PILLS.

Railroad Along Northeastern Coast of Africa Means Much to the Com­ merce of That Section. A railroad is now building along the northeastern coast of Africa that will Insure the agricultural and commei^ cial development of a fertile but long- neglected region, and at the same time greatly reduce the length of the Journey from Europe to Egypt. Start­ ing at Alexandria, the new railroad crosses Lake Mareotis, and follows the coast line of northern Egypt to the west, at a distance of a few miles from the Mediterranean sea. The track has been completed for aboutf 145 miles. The terminus of the line will be the port of Mersa-Matruh, about 200 miles from Alexandria. It li predicted that the railroad will eventually be continued to Benghazi, In Tripoli. The journey from London to Alexandria can then be made In three days by the following route: London to Messina, 40 hours; Messina to Benghazi, by steamer, 20 hours; Benghazi to Alexandria, by the Mariut railway, 12 hours. The new railway will traverse a region that was crowd­ ed and prosperous centuries ago. It is believed that it will create new and rich markets where the ancient cities of Ptolemals and Apollonia onoe stood.--Youth's Companion.
