FRENCH STRIKES ENDED
Work on All Railway Lines To Be
Resumed To-cia\.
MANY ACTS OF VIOLENCE
Anarchists Blamed for Use of
Bombs — Great Explosion
at Versailles.
•
Paris. Oct. 17.— The railroad strike was
formally called 0* to-night. This was
decided at a meeting of the strike com
mittee of the National Railroad Men's
Union. Work will be resumed on all
lines to-morrow.
The commits gave no reason for
cslUnK off the strike, but announced that
a manifesto would be published soon,
explaining it* unexpected action. It bj
understood, however, that the frequent
acts of violence by the revolutionists to
day ed to the decision to give up the
strike rather than risk association with
th< anarchist campaign.
Another probable clement was fur
nished by the ultimatum of .the North
ern. Eastern. Paris, Lyons and Medi
terranean and Paris-Orleans companies
that nil employes who did not resume
work on Tuesday would be discharged
and their places filled immediately.
The succession of bomb outrages in
connection with 'he railroad strike
reached a climax to-day in an attempt
to wreck a passenger train at Versailles.
A bomb was thrown at the entrance of
the tunnel to the Chantiers Station at
the moment when a passenger train was
dv* from Drrux. The bomb struck the
limb of ■ tree, and bounding off. landed
beside the tracks with a terrific explo
sion. It tore a great hole, sending up
showers of earth and fragments of the
Iron of which it was constructed. A
jrroup of soldiers guarding the tracks
nearby had a narrow escape from In
jury. They report having seen three per
sons on the bridge just before the explo
sion. Neither Che tracks nor the tunnel
"Bere damaged. The train from Drcux
arrived a few minutes later, and con
tinued on its journey.
So great was the force of the explosion
that all Versailles was shaken. Thou
sands of persons rushed to the scene of
the outrage, and police guards wore im
mediately strengthened all along the line.
Military Authorities Active.
This and other outrages have aroused
the public and spurred the police and the
military authorities to new efforts to
fight their floret foes. The police at
tribute the V"»mb throwing to anarchists
r.nd fighting revolutionists. They do not
relieve that the' rank and file among the
strikers are responsible, and the fre
quency of the attempts convinces them
that they are confronted with a far
reaching conspiracy on the part of the
: earcUeta, who are taking advantage of
the strike agitation to destroy property
and terrorize the public.
Attempts at train wrecking are report
rd from various parts of France, and
catastrophes have been narrowly avert
ed. Dynamite was found to-day strewn
along tho tracks near Miramas, and an
attempt was made to blow up ■ bridge
spanning the river Loire, near by.. A
bomb was found under the railroad
bridge near Firminy. which -was intend
ed to explode on the passage of the first
ir.iin. Another bomb was found in a
fivst class compartment of a train near
Itenilly. The bomb contained enough
dynamite *o blow the train to pieces.
An Express Thrown from Tracks.
The express from Marseilles for Nice
v.: t p thrown from the tracks, and the
working parts of Beveral trains were
found to have been tampered with.
Half a dozen bombs have been exploded
in the city of Paris, and although tho
damage done has }>*<n slight the people
are apprehensive and the authorities arc
doubling their precautions to prevent
further out™ cvs and to arrest the crim
inals. v To-nic the police were in
formed that a small cylindrical box. con
taining: powder and nails and a lamp
wick fuse, had been discovered in the
vestibule of a public kindergarten at
Vanvcs. a routhern suburb of Paris.
The police have arrested several ad
ditional strike leaders on the charge of
fomenting disorders. A large number of
Strikers have been sentenced to terms of
imrrisonment for Interfering \\iih the
freedom of labor. The garrison of Paris.
which bam already lseen reinforced, was
further Mrengthemd to-day by two regi
ments. The troops will be employed for
the more rigid protection of property.
Six hundred women, the wives of strik
ers, attempted to parade to-night. They
carried placards, summoning the women
of France to oppose "the scandalous
opulence <>f the financiers," and help to
alleviate the misery of the small wage
earner. The police dispersed the women
and arre-sted se-vernl of them.
The government has extended military
surveillance to practically the entire rail-
May System eif France, including the sta
tions, bridges and tracks.
Tampering with Airbrakes.
The Rom* 1 ;-.nd Paris express narrowly
escaped beinfr wrecked last night, the
compressed air connections having been
cut.
The express had taken the down grade
between Modane and Faint-Jean-de
lEauxienno, when the engineer discovered
that the brake-s would n<<t work. The
train Mtainei] ■ Irightful speed. The
pasßvnßrrs be-e-ame pani<-stricken and
pulled the signal cord to alarm the enei

Q>ng<r. He v.as unaMo to make .. stop
until a lone stretch of level track had
been covered. Ne.ne of the passengers
was injured, bat the* dir.lng car suffered
co from the jolting that the interior was
wrecked.
Th" brakes on a train from Amiens to
this city failf-d as the northern terminus
here wa* reached. The train knocked
ever the btunper and ran e.n the statie;n
platform as fur as the customs ■■Boa.
Severn) pasrongers received slight con
tusions.
Service has been resumed on the west

-JOY RIDERS" HIT SANDBANK
Two Women Injured and Men
Companions Arrested.
Mlneola. Long Island, Oct. 17.— «i
result of a "joy ride" to-day two women
arc In the Nassau Hospital here and two
men are held in $2,, r <oo bail each for a
hearing before Justice Charles F. Weeks
to-morrow.
Mrs. Florence Rue, a daughter of
Charles K. TVale. whose father Is public
administrator In Kings County, was seri
ously injured. The other woman in the
car was Mrs. Louise Bosworth, of Gar
den City. The men are William M.
Kelly, who gives his address as No. 2222
Third avenue. Manhattan, and cays he
is employed by Cowperthwait & Sons,
furniture dealers, and Ray W. Fisher, of
Rills!!!!. N. T. The car belonged to
Mr. Cowperthwait.
The party went over to Ibe aviation
fielii and then started for a trip along
the motor pnrkway. Xear the Wcstbury
turn there is a private road which leads
off from the parkway, but it '? seldom
used now. The car had gone only a
short distance up the private road when
it came to a blind ending and crashed
into a sandbank. The machine ploughed
in. to the top, where it hit a wire fence
and ripped out a large section of it, in
<luding several posts.
Mrs. Hue was hurled out nnd her head
struck a post. It is believed her skull
was fractured. She had been on the
front s^at with Kelly. Her Jaw was also
dislocated. At the hospital it is said
she has an even chance for recovery.
Mrs. BoswortSj wrua also thrown cut.
Her chief injury appears to be a broken
arm.
At Mr. Tcale's home In Garden City
to-night it was said that the women
had been knocked down by the automo
bile and that the family had been try
insr vrry hard ever since to find out who
bad knocked them down.
CRITICISE SUBWAY PLANS
Engineers Think Tri- Borough
Route Should Be Changed.
The plans of the Public Service Commis
sion for the tri-borough rapid transit sys
tem were attacked last night at an informal
meeting of engineers in the auditorium of
the Engineers' Building, at No. 33 West
39th street. Th*» bids for the system are to
he opened on Thursday.
Frank J. Sprague. a consulting engineer,
read the main paper, in which he described
the proposed route as badly conceived and
predicted utter failure of attempts to get
that road built and operated by private
capital. Mr Sprague condemned the route
because it paralleled the existing subway
below 42d street at a distance of only one
block and pave added rapid transit facili
ties to the lower East Side, leaving the
lower Weft Side without such provision. -
lie advocated a change in the route
which would divert the new subway be
tween Cd street and 3Gth street west to
Seventh avenue and down to the Battery.
He said that the larger dimensions for the
new road would mean an increase of more
than $37,000,000 in cost of construction, and
that the failure of the Public Service Com
mission to ask for bids for equipment and
oi>oration at the same time with bids for
construction would cause difficulties later
which might leave the completed subway
Idle for a lons time.
Lewis B. gtillwell. formerly consulting
engineer of the Interborough; William J.
Wilgus. former vice-president of the New
York Central & Hudson River Railroad,
and William B. Murray, electrical engineer
of the New York. New Haven & Hartford
Railroad, supported Mr. Sprague's argu
ment In favor of a change of plans for the
proposed route.

EIGHT KILLED IN RIOTS
Three Women Among Victims at
Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe.
ATTACK AT THE ELECTION
Radicals Try to Storm Hall of
Representatives — Turmoil
on Island.
Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe, Oct. 17.—
Five men and three women were killed,
and at least twenty-five other persons
wounded, six of whom will die, during
rioting in the Petit Bourg of this city,
the capital, at yesterday's elections.
Of the dead one was a. woman seventy
years of age, who was shot behind the
closed doors of her home, which stands
opposite the Town Hall. It is supposed
that many others who were injured fled
to the wooitt after the fighting. The
roof of the Town Hall, in which the bal
loting took place, was riddled with bul
lets.
The trouble bepnn through the ejec
tion from the hall of the representatives
of the Radical party at the moment
when the voting ceased and the inspec
tion of the ballot^ was to begin. The
Radicals, who charge frauds against
flovernor Qautret and the government
party at the elections of last April, pro
tested against this action and, going- out
side, stoned the building.
Finally, rallying their forces and de
claring their right to be present and
assist in the canvas? of the votes, the
Radicals attempted to force an entrance
and assaulted the twelve gendarmes who
stood in their way. The gendarmes fired
a volley over the heads of the Radicals
and then shot indiscriminately into the
crowd.
Jean Francois, acting Mayor of Polnte
a-Pitre and the representative of the
Radicals, was threatened by the gen
darmes, who aimed their rifles nt him.
Francois, however, folded his arms and.
facing the guards, defied them. This act
of bravery caused the gendarmes to di
vert their aim.
The wounded are receiving medical at
tention. Late last nipht a prosecuting
attorney and magistrate arrived here
and began an investigation. A detach
ment of twenty-five soldiers was also
brought here from Point-a-Pitre. as the
situation is still threatening. The people
are sullen over the deaths of their fel
low citizens. Governor r.autret has
taken no action.
I^ater many of the wounded were re
moved on a coastlnsr steamer to Point
a-Pitre. and borne on stretchers through
the Ftreets to the hospital. Their gar
ments were bloodstained and attracted
a sympathetic crowd that followed.
Three gendarmes were wounded. Oreat
excitement prevails throughout the Isl
and.
Yesterday's included the
choice of thirty-six members of the gen
eral council, and rioting had been ex
pected, r.s th<* feeling between the gov
ernment party and the so-called Radical
party was intense. This bitterness has
seriously affected the business interests
of this country, now abandoned generally
by travellers and foreign capitalists, in
cluding even French financiers.

water. The residents of th- lower floors
were .irlvnn to seek refuge on higher
level., while detachments of soldiers
rural guards, police and firemen, assisted
by members of the Red Cross and ftrt»T
men with boats, which were draped
from the harbor, hastened to the sub
merged district and rescued hundreds
from buildings which threatened to col
lapse at any moment.
Vodado. a residential suburb. was ex
posed to the full fury of the storm. The
sea advanced some hundred yards In
land, demolishing many small structures
and probably causing loss or life.
The rumor that' the city had been
struck by a* tidal wave added- to the
general panic, which was allayed shortly
after .3 o'clock.' when the wind percept
ibly abated and the water ceased to rise.
The upper part of the Prado was then
filled with throngs of panicstrlcken ne
groes, carrying such household effects
as they could rescue from their own
hemes.
The Jail, at the foot of the Prado, was
completely surrounded by water, and the
prisoner*, mad with fear, clung to the
barred windows, clamorously demanding
to be removed to a place n f safety. It
was feared for a time that the prisoners
would break loo«\ but armed guards
held them in check with rifles until the
waters begrm to recede.
Waves Over Morro Ramparts.
At thp hH.arht of the storm the great
waves breached clear over the ramparts
of Morro Castle. They rolled with ter
rific spppd up the harbor, tumbling oyer
the sea walls, inundating the streets in
the lower pnrt of the city, carrying awny
many of thr small craft al'>ng the shores
and swamping many lighters which
escaped the blow during: the earlier hours.
All the (teamen in the harbor remained
at anchor, the engines working and hold
ing their pround.
At half-past three o'clock the rain
ceased, but the wind remained strong
The barometer stood at 29.23. having
risen eight-tenths of an Inch in two
hours, giving rise to the hope that the
worst was over.
Practically all menns of rnmmiinlrntinn
with the interior wore levelled, and there
fore news cnr.rprnins the effects of the
storm in other parts of the island Is lack-
Ini-', but no doubt the damage was enor
mous, especially in Havana nnd Pinar del
Rio provinces. The. Almondnres River and
other small streams in the vleinjty of thin
city are over their banks, flooding the low
lards and carrying off huts, barns and
cattle. Probably many persons lost their
liv<B in these sections.
A barge containing all the outfit of the
divers working on the wreck of the old
battleship Maine was carried away and
stranded on the rocks of Morro Castle.
Later the soldiers of the fortress succeeded
in saving considerable of the apparatus,
but all of the divers' buoy?, stakes and
other marks around the Maine were swept
away. This probably will seriously delay
the work of raising the wreck.
STORM SWEEPING GULF
Fears of Great Losses at Tampa
and Key West.
Tampa. Fla., Oct. 37.— "With communi
cation with all points south of here' cut
off and wireless stations out of com
mission, Tampa and all that territory
between Tampa and the Florida Keys
is being storm swept to-night. It Is im
possible at this hour to estimate the
damage, no reports having been received
from nearby towns. In Tampa up to
11 o'clock the damage is confined to
telephone and electric light wires and
minor damage to shipping.
A steady gale is blowing at the rate
of fifty miles an hour, and Increasing in
intensity every moment. Many small
craft anchored in the vicinity of the
Tampa Bay Hotel are stranded. The
storm has blown the water out of the
bay, causing a tide at least seven feet
below usual low water.
Indications at a late hour are that the
storm will pass a little to the south of
Tampa. It is probable that it will spend
its* if somewhere in the Everglades.
Grave fears are f<-lt for forty-six mem
bers of the Plant »'ily Artillery, en
camped at Egmont Key. The company
landed there this afternoon, ;<n<l soon
after the t< nts were pitched thn wind

tained for residents at Paase-a-Grille. a
resort on the bay. There :ire nt least
fifty persons there. amHt is believed they
will feel the full force of the- disturbance.
Fortunately, the four days' warning given
by the Weather P.ureau served to
put u\\ shipping on guard. Nut ;i boat
has sailed In that time and none ha*
<-ame in. It is feared the schooner Bra
zos, which sailed several days ago, is 1.-st.
as no tidings of her have hern received.
She was bound for Cuban ports, lumber
laden.
