Many Jumped into the Sea and Were Drowned. .4.•••••••••••••••••• Great Blow td France at the Present Time. Toulon, France, Sept. 25 Pi .--.re broke out early to -day in the am- munition hold a the battleship Liberte, counted one of the finest vessels in the French navy, and the explosionwhich followed ivreeked the great ship and killed more than half of her crew of 793 officers and men, The Pre was .discovered at five o'clock. At first it did not appear to be serious, but somehow or other it gained a quick advantage over the (squad of sailors aent to extinguish it and suddenly without -warning it reached the magazines, which had not been flooded on aecount of the apparently trifling nature of the blaze, The force of the explosions were terrific. They shook the vessel fore and at, eitolt one seemingly stronger than, that preceding, opening up great fissures in the armor and frame- work of the vessel. The vessel immediately became it mass of fire and smoke and soon, almost demolished by the terrifie de- tonations, sank to the bottom of Toulon Harbor, At an. early hour unofficial esti- mates of the -number of dead ran as high as 500. Estimates by naval men varied widely, but there was -no doubt that the loss of life was more than 300, Scores of the seamen were kill- ed in their berths. A dozen saved themselves by jumping overboard. Many of these injured leaped into the water and were drowned before the boats from the other ehipe could reach them. Two hundred of the crew escaped death owing to the fact that they were ashore on leave. Commander Jaures, a brother of the Socialist deputy, was not on board. The first erash came when the crew was for the most part dis- persed in various sections of the ves- eel. They were without -warning of their danger. Scores of bodies wera hurled high into the air, accompanied by great • fragments of framework, armor, bursting ehells and the blind- ing suffocating smoke of the powder. Men below who had not yet been awakened were killed in their sleep. Others, awakened by the explosion, started to jump overboard and were caught by the second detonation,' The crew was panics stricken and ruehed wildly about, groping through the blinding smoke, in which many fell imoonscious from suffocation. There were manyvessels in the harbori at the time ncluding a num- ber of. warships, which have been manoeuvring here since the first of the month. The first explosion brought a- quick response from the nearby men-of-war and from the shore. Dozens of boats put off and picked up survivors, and floating bodies_ There were three tremendous ex- plosions in quick succession after the fire reached the magazines. One hundred men saved themselves by jumping and othere would have es - coped but for the discipline whicli held them at their posts. At the first explosion the men below sud- denly awakened, tumbled from their berths and rushing -to the side of the vessel were throwing themselves overboard when an order calling them to their their stations rang out and held to their death those who had not already esc,aped. The Liberte was anchored in the road- stead where she has been since the re- view of the fleet by President Fallieres. The review was on Sept. 4, when the French national executive gazed upon the most powerful fleet that France has ever assembled. Premier Caine= and his associates in the Cabinet, together with many Senators and Deputies were present. Particular significance attached to the display, as it was made on the very day that France communicated to Germany the terms upon which the republic of- fered a settlement of the Moroccan dis- pute with Germany. Following the re- view, the fleet resumed the autumn man- oeuvres and gun practice. On Sept. 20 the armored cruiser Gloire was -engaged in target work when a port gun explod- ed as a projectile was being inserted in the Weed'. One gunner -was killed and. thirteen others Injured. Five of the latter subsequently died. To -day's disaster came with little warning. The fire was discovered about 5 o'clock and a, signal sounded through- out the vessel summoeing the crew to fire qoarters. Immediately the order was given to flood the holds, but the inrushing water failed to cheek the rap- idly.spreading flames. Smoke poured from the warship and attracted the attentiori of the other ships of the squadron, which hurriedly deapatched piunacles with uten and fire apparatus to the aid of their sister ship. Presently --minor explosions legan within the aiberte and many seanien firing themselves overboard. Cries of "Save yourselves fire near inegazinee," eould be beard ringing across the water. From &ell side scores of sailors leeped overboard ana swnm frantically for safety, but searcely more than 100 had plunged into the water before the series of detonations culminated in a terrific explosion that seemed to tear out the side of the great steel vessel, which swayed over to one side and sank swiftly. In it moment dead bodies were floating about in the disturbed waters that plashed around the upper works. In a Wide eirele around the :spot where the craft had floatea so proudly min - Ides before, the seamen -who escapee death were struggling desperately and small boats were pieking up as ninny AA they eould reach. As the battlesbip emit down several of her one diseltargea a reqiilein ealute. The 'abode lied a eompletement of 700 men. Of these 140 we're away on shore lease, eo that 580 w(•te aboard when the fire broke out. A rough estimate pieces the number of those, who jumped oterboard somewhere betas eon 100 and 200. The rumble of the eI0osion was heard throughont the city, and immense THIS IS BAD Woman Doctor Predicts 4 Seismic. Disturbance. Boistora Sept. 24.

The Liberte wee about 15,000 tons displaeement, and carried Jour )2-incli guns and ten 8 -inch guns. She had is horse -power of 18,000, and it speed of eighteen knots. Her length was 452 feet,, and when eompleted in 1907 cost about $7,000,000. A STUNNING BLOW. Paris, Sept, 25. ---The newa of the ex. plosiou of the bettleship Liberte came as a stunning blow to the French pub- lic.: and to naval officials.. It is the ell, max of a loug series of disasters ' have marked the history of the French navy since the blowing up of the battle- ship Iona, on March 3, 1907. The ac- counts of the disaster as received here during the morning hours, varied. . The most authentic desmitches stat- ed- that the sinking came nearly two hours after the discovery of fire iu the forward hold. Another accouut said that the ship broke in half from the force of the explosions one auk twenty minutes later. According to this version the battleship afterwards reappeared at the surface for a time, a grim carcass of iron surrounded by a tangled mass of wreckage. Estimates of the number of demi vary from 350 to 500. The Ministry of Marine lutR received the following telegram from Vice -Admi- ral Aubert, commanding the fleet at Toulon: "Four ekplosions were heard nn -the Liberte this morning at interval4 of one minute, beginning at 5.35, and fol- lowed by smoke and flames, which mounted steadily. The expjosion ocenr- red at 5.53. The ship sank. After the smoke had blown away, one perceived that portions of the etructure stbod above the water." The Ministry of Marine issued the fol. lowing: "The last report of the General In- apector showed the Liberte to- be in com- paratively satisfactory condition and eaPecially regarding the precautions taken in taring for the magazines." THE ESTIMATED LOSS. Toulon, France Sept. 25. -The latest estimate thia afternoon places the num- ber of missing from the Liberte at 350.. To these must be added 100 men from the other shire who were killed. Several small boats which had gone from the other warships to the aid of the Liberte sank when the final explo- sion occurred, Twenty men were killed and 50 injured on board the Democratie and there were fatalities on the Verite and Republique. The latter was dain• aged. and was obliged to dock hastily. MAY BE 200. Toulon Sept. 25. -Accurate estimates of the dead and. injured were still un- available late this afternoon. They may not greatly exceed 200. The prelimin- ary explosions gave warning and many of the men threw themselves into the sea and. were picked up by small boats and taken to the other ships of the squadron or ashore. G. T. R.

LLOYD -GEORGE ••••••••••••••••,.. Guest of Carnegie al Skibo Castle. Writes Letter to Grandson of Gladstone. •••••••••••••••••,.. Loudon, Sept. 24.- Among Mr. An- drew Carnegie's guests at Ski's() Castle this week have been the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mrs. Lloyd•George. Mr. Lloyd -George, in the -course of a few days, will go to Balmoral to serve his term as Minister in Attendance on the King, with whom, as is well known, he is a great personal favorite. In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that' there is no member of Mr. Asquitlee Cabinet whose relations with the 'Monarch are ou so friendly and intimate a footing. In connection with this a story is go- ing the rounds which indicates that the Chancellor of the Exehequer'a charming personality and winning ways are the object of some envy on the part of some of hie colleagues. A little while ago the King presented to Mr. Lloyd -George a walking stick. When Hon. John Buries heard. of the gift he sardonically remarked: "Well, it stick is a useful thing when one gets housemaid's knee." I must eay that those most ready to believe the story are the very per- sons who are most prompt to scoff at plain John Burns' appearanee in Court uniform on. ceremonial occasions. Mr, Lloyd -George, by the way, vehe- mently protests against the accusation that his pallet, is Socialistic. In a let- ter to William G. 0. Gladstone, the "Grand Old Man's" grandson, who is standing as the Liberal candidate for Kilniarnocic Burghs, the Chaucellor of the Exchequer refers to the "gross mis- representation" of hi insurance hill by the Tory and Labor candidates there, recites the benefits which would accrue to the workingmen under the bill, and says: "If through wilful misrepresentation the bill should fail and these enormous boons thus not reach the working -class- es, it will be it long time befere any Government will Nee the financial and political burdens and risks of undertak- ing and putting through such IL proposal. This result would, indeed, be a proud achievement for the Tory and Socialist candidates, who profess to have the in- terest of the workingmen at heart." In concluding his letter, Mr. Lloyd - George wishes Mr. Gladstone success in "the struggle for sane and sound pro- gress against the conspiracy of wreckers and reactionaries," adding: "The name of Glee...stone is held in high reverence all the world over where. ever the cause of human freedom is honored. It is a real delight to see an- other bearer, of that name fighting for measures of social emancipation." Toronto, Sept. 25.-A horrible tion prevails among some of the bake - shops in Toronto. In some of the worst cases rats play and find, hiding places among old lumber, the sinks leak, the sewers are broken, the dough troughs are dirty, the floors are vile, and the flour bags are punctured with rat holes, while the litter of the floors is made worse by flour being scattered about. This is not pleasant reading to the clean- ly and- neat residents of the city,but, unhappily,he tfacts are substantiated by inspectors of the City Medical Health Department, and it vigorous campaign against the dirty shopkeepers has been begun by Chief Inspeetor Robert Wilson. The worst offenders are people bearing foreign names. But Canadian Aviator Will Get Better.

Erickson's Pretty Bride Re- fused to Milk Cows. Des Moines, Sept. 25. -Two Swedes, Olson and Erickson, bought adjoining farms in Central Iowa, Bricks= wed a rosy cheeked Swedish girl, who had been in service in this country for a few weeks previous to her marriage. Now, Hulda had ideas of her own. She married Erickson in order to become "a real American lady." The first difficulty arose when, much to the amazement of poor Erickson, she refused to milk the cows. Her husband waxed emphatic and punctured his re- marks by kicking the new milk pail, beating the cow and threatening the bride, but all to no avail. Hulda would be a lady. In desperation he appealed to Olson, his friend and neighbor. The good O1 - son's fraa was an able-bodied dame from Holland. Not only did she milk the cows. and plough the corn, but upon occasion she worked in the hay field as well. Katrina, too, had reared three stalwart sons ef Holland thrift, but Kat- rina had not roses in her cheek e . Her waist line was no longer trim and neat nor her eyes an enticing blue. Mr. Olson grew it bit far sighted. He rould spy Hulda's blonde head and print dress across a ten acre field, hence he was most ready o fsynapathy when his friend Erickson approached him with tales,of domestic woe. In fact, he en- touraged the confidences and promised labor with Iltildes toncerning the mar- tial difficulties. Katrina. seemect to grow suddenly very old. Her thrift was often aimoying and she was overpar- ticular about hours, After conamsming much with Erickson and more with Hulda, together they hit upon a happy plan. One fine morning Mr. and Mrs. Erieli- son, with Mr. and Mrs. Olson, eliodeed into the Olsoo wagon and drove to the country seat. Mr. and Afrs. Erickson, with Mr. had Mrs. Olson'in the Olson \vagina drove baek that evening by' -milking time, but it was Hulda 01101 and Katrina Erickson who returned. Made told the judge of the dents in the new milk pail, and Olaon remember- ed how Katrina had, half heartedly, compelled him to sleep in the barn When he had returned a bit late from a chat with his friend Erickson. That same evening as Katrina sat patiently milking Mr. Olson led over to his friend Erickmon the finest of Pe heifer ealvea-beea.uat, as any may aee, "a trade is a trade, and should be fair." Last month the Erieksona sold Out to go frtrther west, Katrina wanting more land, and no one was so sad to see them go as their old frionde the Oleoris. CURT AT NoRru BAY.
