Air is being pumped into the tunnel by several pumps for a distance of TOO feet, and u largo force of men is working in an effort to rescue? the unfortunates before 'they perish if they are not already dead.

FUTUEE OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT Continuance or the Present Prosperous Conditions in the Trade World Seems Assured. New York. Aug. IS. It. G. Don & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Abundant crops and an oversold steel industry engender sentiments of confidence that make the outlook bright for a continuance of present prosperous business conditions. Each week

brines a. new high-water mark in some department, and the net result is uniformly better than for the corresponding week in any previous year. The weather lias favored both crops and th distribution of merchandise. Despite unprecedented preparations for business by liberal purchase of rolling stock the railways are facing a serious traffic blockade that cannot be avoided wren the crops begin to move freely. No relief appears as to the supply of -labor, production being reduced in s.iido cases where consumers are most urgent. Tall dry goods" jobbing trade broadens, clothing manufacturers make heavy shipments, and the leading industries are usually supplied with orders assuring active machinery well into next year. July foreign commerce for the whole country far surpassed the same month in any previous year, especially as to imports. Failures this week numbered 1TG in the United States. against IMS last yen r. and 10 in Canada, compared Avith 1S a year ago. SOME .RUSSIAN POLITICS ; Stolypin Denies a Story Intends to

j Have a JLot of Work Iteadjr j for the Duma. i St. Petersburg, Aug. 18. rremler j Stolypin has authorized a flat denial of i various reports which have been in eiri dilation here with regard to revision ! of the fundamental law, declaring that ! alteration is not even contemplated. A

member of the cabinet informs the Associated Press that the government is making a systematic study of its role in the elections, and how best to combat the efforts of the revolutionists, quasi or avowed. This minister, who is closet to the court party, scoffed at current gossip tnat Premier Stolypin is about to resign, saying: "Coremykin's cabinet was named the day before the convocation of parliament, and had to come before the members of that body with empty hands. We, with 200 days to prepare, intend to present to the coming parliament a table heaped so high with important measures that the deputies

will neither be able nor dare to give

time to socialistic speech-making."

Getting Rid of It.

While Mrs. Russell Sage has not had

a large and varied experience in giving

away money, yet there is no danger that she will be obliged to take lessons

from a correspondence school in the art

of giving away a large fortune.

Thousands of persons, who know all

about it in theory, if not in practice, will be willing to assist her either with liberal advice or ablebodied help, preferably the latter.

Of course, she may not take all of the advice that is offered to her by mail and otherwise, but if she prefers to struggle along unaided with the task that is her own lookout. But if she doesn't find any way in which she can use the proffered help, it is to be hoped that she will appreciate the truly noble and self sacrificing Bpirlt in which it Is offered by her unknown wellwishers.
