With street railway traffic between the East and West sides cut off, and other traffic seriously interfered with, the rail way companies and the city of Minne apolis are now squabbling as to which is in duty bound to repair the damage re sulting from the collapse Monday of the Bridge square approach to the steel arch bridge. The railway people yesterday refused to make the necessary repairs on the grounds that it was the legal obligation or the city of Minneapolis to repair the viaduct and put it in shape for traffic The situation was a serious one for the Twin City Rapid Transit company and the city. To a certain extent it affects St. Paul for over the steel arch bridge runs ttfe - Como-Hamet interurban line be tween the present terminus of which, on the East side and the West side, one must now walk a half mile to make con nections. This situation temporarily throws most of the traffic between the cities onto the old interurban, which is sorely taxed ordinarily. General Manager W. J. Hleld finally per euaded the railway officials at St. Paul to consent to the construction of a temporary trestle at the street railway company's expense under the supervision of Division Superintendent P. L. Clarity. Mr. Clar ity said that the trestle would be ready for use by today. From the way in which the structural Iron work gave way beneath the street car tracks, it is not altogether certain that the rest of the roadway may not be in a similarly weakened condition. Mr. Clarity for the Great Northern road yesterday notified the city engineer's of fice that the company could not assume Dlame for the collapse, and that the city must shoulder all responsibility. It is estimated that the cost of the permanent improvement would be not less than $60,000. NEW DEAL IS EXPECTED. Appointments on Board of Charities Will Make Changes Necessary.

CHARGE JURY IS BIASED. Investigation Probable In Indictment of Health Commissioner Hall. The indictment of Health Commissioner P. M. Hall, at the apparent instigation of the former superintendent of the quaran tine hospital, who was discharged two months ago on a charge of incompelency. has stirred up a hornet's nest in political circles. Albert H. Hall, attorney and brother of the indicted official, yesterday declared that "no unbiased grand jury in Hennepin county would ever have indict ed Dr. Hall."

The fact that Mr. Hall yesterday secur ed a list of the grand jurors, and the in timations of undue influence have been made, gives rise to the supposition that the character of the grand jury and the validity of the indictment are to be at tacked. Both indictments charge neglect of duty as a public officer, the first alleging fail ure to supply competent nurses and mcdi i cal attendance to James Judge, afflicted with smallpox, who died from exposure, and the second charging similar lack of ; attention in the smallpox case of Rose Pearl. Dr. Hall was released on his own recognizance until June 16, no plea being entered. EASTERN MILLERS ARRIVE. Delegates to Recent Convention In De troit Here to Inspect Mills. Charles C. Bovey, of the Washburn- Crosby Milling company, returned yester day frpm the meeting of the Federation of Millers at Detroit.

Several big Eastern millers came West with Mr. Bovey to inspect the Minne apolis mills. Among those on change yesterday were Messrs. Thayer, of Phila delphia; King, of New York, and Evans of Buffalo.

Eight More. Eight other persons, besides vhe three to whose murder Mrs. McKnight confessed today, investigation shows, have died in the past fifteen years un der circumstances, that in view of the woman's confession, are now thought to be suspicious. All of the eight were either relatives or intimate friends who died while living with Mrs. Mc- Knight, or while she was at their house. All are said to have shown symptoms that are now believed to in dicate strychnine poisoning. They were : Ernest McKnight, the woman's lat est husband; James Ambrose, her first husband, who died at Alpena in 1887; Mrs. McKnight, the wife of James E. McKnight, who was a partner of Am brose; Baby Teeple, Mrs. McKnight's niece; Eliza Chalker, another niece, who died at Grayling in May, 1892; Sarah Murphy, Mrs. McKnight's sis ter, who also died at Grayling in Feb ruary, 1893; a Mrs. Curry, who died in Saginaw in 1893, while Mrs. McKnight was at her mother's house, and Do|o thy Jenson, a child, who died in Gray ling while under Mrs. McKnight's care during the absence of her mothep. Where Doctor Was Baffled. All of these persons except Mrs. Curry were taken suddenly ill and showed what are now regarded as un mistakably symptoms of strychnine, poisoning. Dr. Leighton, who attend ed Ernest McKnight, says that he is now confident that McKnight died of •trychnlne poisoning. Dr. Leighton was baffled by McKnight's trouble and the suddenness with which It came, but says he can see now that he. had every symptom of strychnine pofson ing. Eliza Chalker and Sarah Murphy were stricken at the table while Mrs. McKnight was present. Both died In convulsions in a few hours. There was no suspicion against Mrs. McKnight in connection with the death of the Murphys until she filed a mortgage on her brother's property, after his death, on which the figures had, it is alleged, been raised from $200 to $600. An investigation was then begun. The body of John Mur phy was exhumed and strychnine was found in the stomach. Mrs. McKnight was placed under arrest, with the re sult that today she confessed. Her confession today was entirely volun tary and she seemed perfectly sane, although under great mental strain. No motive for the crimes can be found. Gas Company Attached.

BALFOUR SAVES JOE CHAMBERLAIN Continued From First Page. deal with Mr. Chaplin's amendment before he was Interrupted with a hur ricane of applause and ironical cheers at the entry of Mr. Chamberlain, who had been absent hitherto throughout the evening. The colonial secretary dropped into his accustomed place. The house was now packed with peers, members of the house and spectators as it has not been since the days of home rule. In a whimsical vein Mr. Balfour ex plained that the only reason that the corn tax was put on was because the" government wanted money and the only reason it was taken off was be cause the government wanted money no longer. He declared that he him self, though a believer in free trade, did not regard it as fetish, and he had absolutely an open mind regarding the necessity for alterations in a system which was founded to suit conditions of fifty years ago. He refused not only to make a statement of any final ity up so important a question, but he also refused to compel his col leagues to conform to a standard of opinion upon which he himself had an open mind. He admitted that differ ences of opinion existed within the cabinet, but these were not serious enough to cause the resignation of any member. Mr. Balfour made an impassioned plea for allowing the premier to re tain an open mind upon a question so difficult and so superior to all party issues. The speaker did not believe the country would ever return to the old protective system, and no tax on food was ever imposed without the full assent of the working classes. They were confronted, however, by three great phenomena: Huge tariff walls against the United Kingdom; the growth of trusts and the desire of the colonies for closer fiscal union with the mother country. These factors could not be ignored. To start a public dis cussion was the only way to deal with these phenomena, though he did not commit himself to Mr. Chamberlain's more advanced programme. This non-committal speech brought a constant salvo of cheers. Through out, Mr. Chamberlain sat beside the leader of the house, beaming with sat isfaction. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the Liberal leader, replied, appealing for an opportunity for the house to more fully discuss the issue raised. The members of the house trooped into the lobby to vote against G. Henry Chap lin's amendment, the general comment being "Balfour has saved Chamber lain." The colonial secretary, himself Jubi lant, said: "Our friend, the enemy, is nonplussed this time." With the exception of some irrecon cilable malcontents the Unionist party is greatly relieved by the outcome of the debate, all the members express ing gladness that the crisis was pass ed, at the same time believing that the same cabinet could not long continue to embrace such opposing elements in the fiscal policy of Great Britain as Colonial Secretary Chamberlain and Chancellor of the Exchequer Ritchie.

ST. LOUIS FLOOD VICTIMS SAVED Continued From First Page. sand bags from two to six feet high and two miles long keeps the river out. Last night the river suddenly began to rise. Tired men worked with fren zied energy to strengthen the sand bag levees. The city was made safe along the river front, but a new dan ger came—the break in the Illinois Central embankment skirting the river along the southern boundary of the city. Accustomed by this time to warnings of impending danger, the in habitants did not leave their homes. When the Embankment Broke. Higher and higher crept the water until a thin stream began to pour ovq£ the embankment, and suddenly it broke. The break occurred at 11:40 o'clock. D. H. Sherwood, a laborer, was swept away and drowned. The water cut a section of the embank ment out and a stream twenty-five feet wide rushed through. Another section of the embankment went out a few minutes later and then that por tion standing between the two streams went down and the river poured through. It Is believed that many men, especially negroes, were drowned. Whistles were blown, bells tolled, shots fired and cries of warning were sounded, but even with all this pan demonium many of the inhabitants failed to leave their homes. Within an hour the houses stood in water that reached to the roofs of the one-story cottages. Many fled to large brick buildings. Rescue boats today found many peo ple in second stories and on housetops, but there is grave fear that when all the living have been transferred to land the boats will bear bodies of dead from the flooded cottages and the deso lated quarter. Those Who Were Drowned.

UNIDENTIFIED BABY. E. H. SHERWOOD. LAWRENCE DAY. TWO UNIDENTIFIED WOMEN. TWO UNIDENTIFIED MEN. It was currently reported today that seven negroes caught looting houses last night were shot to death. They were all on a raft and were surprised by guards, who shot them down and threw their bodies into the water. While this was not confirmed, it is known that there was heavy firing on the North side early last night, where these negroes are said to have been killed. The deaths of John Koolish, a Pol ish carpenter, and his three children— two boys, aged five and seven years, and a girl of twelve years—were caused by trying to save three kegs of beer. The Koolish home had been surrounded by water for several days. The family had been living in the sec ond story and last night decided to go to land. Koolish took two sons and his wife and three-months infant safely to land. He then returned for his other three children. Getting them safely into the boat, Chicago Great Western = Railway .
