PASSENGER TRAIN ON ROCK ISL. AND ROAD GOES INTO RIVER AT DOVER, OKLA, ONLY PULLMANS ESCAPE DISASTER HIGH WATER DUE TO UNUSUALLY HEAVY RAINS CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT, Oklahoma City, Okla., Sept. 19.—A special to the Times-Journal from Enld states that fully 100 person. were drowned in the wreck of north- bound Chicago, Rock Island and Pa- cific passenger train No. 12, which went into the Clmarron river at Do- ver, twenty-seven miles south of Enid. The engine and all cars with the exception of the Pullmans went into the stream, which had been raised to an unusual height by a terrific storm. It is reported that 100 passengers were in the chair cars and that all were drowned with the exception of one man, Floyd Zeist. Four men were seen to fall from the top of one of the cars into the water and were drowned. A report from Kingfisher says that many persons on the ill fated train, vescued by a relief train, have arrived there from the scene. Many persons, more dead than alive as a result of their experiences, have been placed in the hotels at Kingfisher, while a number of dead bodies have been taken to the morgue there. A number of Kingfisher people, known to have been on the train, have not been found. RECOVERY OF BODIES. Porty-seven Already Taken to Tem- porary Morgue. Kansas City, Sept. 19.—A private message received here from Dover, Okla., the nearest telegraphic point to the scene of the Rock Island wreck, says that forty-seven bodles have al- ready been taken to Dover and placed in a temporary morgue there. After this information was transmitted the wire to Dover was lost. Only Six Reported Safe, Wichita, Kan., Sept. 19.—A tele- phone message from Hennessey, Okla., elght miles from the scene of the Rock Island wreck, says all cars ex- cepting the rear Pullman are in the Cimarron river and that 225 persons were carried into the water.

Murphy, financier, one of the wealth- fest men in this state, was killed in- stantly. Mr. Murphy had just been examined and his heart pronounced perfect. The Roentgen rays are used daily In Philadelphia hospitals and never before have any serious results fol- lowed. Surgeons of the Polytechnic institution, where Mr. Murphy died, are of the opinlon that some deadly element must have entered the ray. An examination of the apparatus is now being made. Is Suddenly FIFTEEN UNIONS Bullding Operations at Winnipeg Tied Up by Strike, Winnlpeg, Man., Sept. 19.—Not a union man is working on the 350 buildings in course of construction here. The strike declared by the un- fons is in sympathy with the plumbers’ demands for higher wages and other requests from master plumbers. The plumbers have been out for several weeks and the masters steadily de- clined to arbitrate. Over 3,500 union men are out, re- sulting in a complete tieup on $11,000,- 000 worth of builldings being erected in Winnipeg. Fifteen unions are in- volved. INVOLVED. MUCH DAMAGE RESULTS. Heaviest Rain in Twenty-five Years in Part of Kansas. Kingman, Kan, Sept. 19.—The heaviest rain in twenty-five years Is falling in this part of the state. At Kingman the lowlands are flooded and the lower part of the town is threat- ened. The Ninnesca river is out of its banks for miles. Bridges on the Wich- ita and Western branch of the Santa Fe rallroad, between Wichita and Pratt, are out. T Service Abandoned, Omaha, Sept. 19.—The heavy rains of Sunday and Sunday night have been supplemented by a steady down pour since daylight and the branch lines of the railroads of the state are very badly demoralized. In some places the train service has been abandoned and cannot be resumed for several days. Vessels Wrecked at Honolulu, Honoluly, 19—A disastrous hurrfcane occurred here during the day. Several vessels were wrecked in the harbor. American Buyer in London. “My American accent came near to taxing me just $430 on my last trip to London,” remarked a clubman. “When I tried to buy a certain bulldog pup there the kennel man priced it at $500, as he had me sized up as an American and, in his regard, an easy mark. 1 made a deal with a cabby at the hotel stand, who went around and bought the same pup for me at $60, a very fair price, as the dog will never be a show winner. T gave a $10 tip to the cab- man, so I made $430 by employing an agent who called his hansom an ’an- som and his horse an ’‘orse.”—New York Sun, S ONE HUNDRED KILLED TERRORISTS ARE ALARMED WHOLESALE ARRESTS ALL OVER RUSSIA OF MEMBERS OF FLYING GROUP, 8t. Petersburg, Sept. 19.—Disheart- ened at the capture of their principal leaders, of whom Vladimir Mazuri and a number of others have been exe- cuted, the “fiying group” of the revo- lutionists, which seceded from the parent organization last winter and which has been respounsible for almost all the important assassinations and robberies since (he convocation of par- liament, has voted to return to the fold and submit to the orders of the central committee. This step means a certain regulation of terroristic activ- 1ty, because sentences which formerly were passed and put into execution by this irvesponsible little group of scarcely 100 men heveafter will have to be approved by the central com- mittee. Members of the “fiying group™” are convinced that they have had a traitor In their ranks, because the arrest within the p tortnight of over half their number in various parts of Rus- sia could have been brought about only by the possession of inside infor- mation. They suspect Belenzoff, who was the leader of the band which committed the bank robbery in Mos- cow last March and who made such a marvelous escape from his captors while being brought back to Russia from Switzerland. This remarkable escape is best explained by the con- nivance of the police. It is rumored that Belenzoff is now living in close hiding at the headquarters of the Mos- cow secret police. BOAST OF MANY MURDERS. Two Notorious Revolutionists Cap- tured and Executed, Mitau, Sept. 19.—Lindeberg and Kent, two of the most prominent re olutionary outlaws, have been arrest- ed, tried by drumhead courtmartial and executed by shooting at the scene of their last murder. Before, their execution Lindeberg and Kent boasted of many murders. They were in receipt of weekly sal- aries from the terrovist organization. Journalist Convention Prohibited. Posen, Sept. 19.—The convention of Polish journalists scheduled to take place here has been prohibited. The object of this meeting is presumed to have been an effort to reach identity of plans for the promotion of the Pol- ish national spirit. Attempt to Burn Prison. Odessa, Sept. 19.—Revolutionaries made an attempt to burn down the political prison here. They succeed- ed, however, in only partially burning the roof. UNDER NEW INSPECTION LAW. Regulations lssued Governing Trans- portation of Meat. ‘Washington, Sept. 19.—Secretary Wilson has promulgated the regula- tions, under the new meat inspection law, governing the transportation of meat in interstate and foreign com- merce. There are eight amendments to the regulations already in force and these have to do with interstate transportation; inspected meats and products; exempted meats and prod- ucts: meats offered for transportation by farmers, and the restrictions upon common carriers in certain cases. suspec!:d of élg EmbeTzlement. Rotterdam, Sept. 19.—Suspected of the embeszzlement of $294,000 Bland Vandenberg, a notary and director of the South Holland bank, has been taken Into custody. The shares of the bank dropped 100 per cent on the bourse. FOR CONTROL OF MANCHURIA. Quarrel Between Japanese Diplomacy and Militarism. Victoria, B. C,, Sept. 19.—The steam- er Empress of India, which has just arrived from the Orient, brought news of serious differences in the Japanese sabinet regarding Japan's actions In Manchuria. Viscount Hayashi, for- merly minister to Great Britain, re- eigned the post of foreign minister in Premier Saioniji's cabinet because of the action taken regarding the South Manchurian railway system, which Japan took over as a government con- cern. Japanese vernacular papers pointed out that the quarrel is really a fight between diplomacy, headed by Viscount Hayashi, and militarism, headed by Marquis Yamagata. The military section opposes the opening of Manchuria and moreover wishes to control the Manchurian railway as a strategical line, while the diplomatic section has declared for the opening of Manchuria and seeks to subordinate militarism, while fighting for the com- mercial development by Japanese of South Manchuria. The military sec- tion, which sought to appoint the late Field Marshal Kodama in charge of the Manchurian railway system, seeks to appoint a military adviser, who would in effect control the line. It was in protest to this arrangement that Viscount Hayashi resigned. One Tokio paper points out the efforts of the military sections have more than once occasioned relations of more or less unsatisfactory character with America and England regarding Man- churla. Tobacco Leaves. A sclentist writes: ‘“The essential quality for which tobacco is smoked or chewed lies not really In the leaves themselves, but is contalned in thou- sands of hollow knobbed hairs which cover their surface. The vital nicotine 1s garnered in these pear-like balls, but as it is impossible to shave off these hairs and would be a scarcely com- mendable achievement if it could be undertaken it becomes necessary to preserve the whole foliage for com- mercial purposes.” SUSTAIN HEAVY L0SS EIGHTEEN CUBAN GOVERNMENT TROOPS KILLED IN FIGHT . WITH PINO GUERRA. ARMISTICE IS THEN AGREED ON PEACEMAKER ARRIVES ON THE 8CENE AND PREVENTS FUR. THER FIGHTING. Havana, Sept. 19.—Alfredo Zayas, president of the Liberal party, informs the Associated Press that Colonel Avalos, with 200 nwunted men, at- tacked a rebel force under Pino Guerra near Los Palacios, in Pinar del Rio province. The rebels had one man killed and two wounded. The government soldiers had eightean killed and thirty wounded. A second attack was about to begin when Guerra’s brother, in the capacity of peacemaler, arrived from Havana and urged an armistice, which was speed- ily arranged. The government has no news of this engagement. ROOT MAY GO TO CUBA. Secretary of State Will Arrive at Pan. ama Thursday. ‘Washington, Sept. 19.—Important advices regarding the situation in Cuba are lacking at both the state and navy departments. Only one cable- gram was received at the state de- partment. That came from Mr, Sleep- er, the American charge at Havana, and merely reiterated his report of Monday that both the Cuban govern- ment and the insurgents had decided to suspend hostilities, temporarily at least, until Secretary Taft and his party had had an opportunity to con- sult with the parties to the trouble. ‘Whether Secretary of State Root will go to Cuba still is a matter of in- teresting conjecture. The secretary will arrive at Panama Thursday or Friday, where he probably will re- ceive communications which will de- termine his later course. FORCE OF MARINES ON BOARD. Big Cruiser Minneapolis Sails for Cu- ban Waters, Philadelphia, Sept. 19.—The big triple screw cruiser Minneapolis, with 375 marines and a large quantity of ammunition and other supplies on board, sailed from the League Island navyyard during the day for Cuba un- der command of Captain Fiske. The Minneapolis arrived here last week and was being placed out of commis- slon when rush orders were received from Washington to prepare the cruiser for sea. At the same time marines were ordered here from Bos- ton, Brooklyn, Annapolis, Washington and Norfolk and they went aboard the Minneapolis Monday. Captain Fiske declined to say to what particular Cuban port he had been ordered. SPANIARDS INTERESTED. 8ituation in Cuba Freely Discussed by the Press, Madrid, Sept. 19.—Much interest is manifested here in the press and oth- erwise in the sitzation in Cuba. Chau- vinistic newspapers are inclined to re- joice over the present imbroglio and declare it proves the Cuban incapacity for self-government. The more seri- ous newspapers advise patriotic Cu- bans to sink all minor differences in order to safeguard their independence. The Herald echoes a considerable body of opinion in arguing that an- niexation to the United States would be a misfortune, as after. the pan- American conference at Rio de Janeiro such action would create a distrust of the United States throughout Spanish- America. INSURGENTS AGAIN ACTIVE. Destroy Bridges on Cuban Western Railroad. Havana, Sept. 19.—Since the return here of the military trains the rebels are again destroying property of the Cuban Western railroad, a British en- terprise. The bridge near Los Palmi- cos has again been destroyed, another bridge at Santa Cruz, near Toaco Taco, and smaller bridges in that dis- trict likewise have been wrecked. Trains run only as far as Artemisa and there is no telegraphic communi- cation beyond that point. DIXIE AT CIENFUEGOS, Will Assist the Marietta in Protecting Plantations, ‘Washington, Sept. 19.—The cruiser Dixie has arrived at Cienfuegos, Cuba, with 300 marines aboard, to assist the Marietta in protecting American plan- tations there. Her commander makes no report of further disturbances. EXPECT TO MARCH ON HAVANA. Large Force of Insurgents Concentrat- ing at Matanzas. Havana, Sept. 19.—Revolutionary forces 2,000 strong under the com- mand of Colonel Betancourt are con- gregating at Matanzas and it is re- ported that they expect orders to march toward Havana, ey A Savage Poison, The julce of the green pineapple is accredited In Java, the Philippines and throughout the far east generally with being a blood polson of a most deadly nature.

A COAL RATES ARE HILL ROADS MAKE VOLUNTARY CUT IN MINNESOTA AND THE DAKOTAS, Bt. Paul, Sept. 19.—The Northern Pacific and the Great Northern Rall way companies have anounced a vol- untary reduction in coal rates to points in Minnesota and the Dakotas. In effect the reduction is an average cut of from 5 to 10 per cent in the old rates and represents deep inroads into the revenues of the two companies. The amount s not specified, but the commission believes that it will be close to the $500,000 mark, as the other coal carrying roads will have to follow suit, The rate covers both the hard and soft products from Duluth and Su- perior, which ,are the distributing points for the state, and while the hard product is affected soft coal comes in for the biggest slash, Here the cut is as much as 40 cents a ton, this being the case at Pipestone, a point on the Great Northern which Is a heavy factor in making distance tar- iffs. At Pipesione the St. Paul road and practically every other road in the state Is uffected and a cut that will extend ever down into lowa and points further West and South will be necessitated. TO ENTER SAN FRANCISCO. Hill Interests Continue Fight With Harriman. San Francisco, Sept. 19.—The sec- ond move in the great war of twn railroads has been made. The Hill interests have gathered their forces and are contending with might and main to wrest from Harriman the con- trol of the rich districts of Central Oregon. The purchase of the Califor- nia Northeastern by the Southern Pa- cific was the first move in the game and was intended to forestall the plan of the Hill interests, who had an- nounced the intention of building a road from Butte, Mont., to Boise, Ida., down through Central Oregon and finally ending at San Francisco. News has now been r g ived here that the Hill interests ar& not asleep. The officlals of the San [Francisco, Idaho and Montana road have an- nounced large contracts for bridge ‘work and structural steel and say that the whole route has been surveyed and cross sectioned and that actual construction work will begin in a few days. OBJECTS TO PART OF TICKET. Republican Candidate for Governor of Colorado Withdraws. Denver, Sept. 19.—Philip B. Stewart of Colorado Springs, Republican nom- inee for the governorship of Colorado, has withdrawn from the ticket. The anpouncement, “which appears in an evening paper, adds:’ “Ostensibly.. Mr. Stewart has with- drawn because of the condition of his health, having just rallied from an at- tack-of appendicitis, but in reality he has refused to make the race with Chief Justice Gabbert on the ticket.” EN ROUTE TO FAR EAST, American Cruiser Squadron Arrives at Gibraltar. Gibraltar, Sept. 19.—The United States second armored cruiser squad- ron, under command of Rear Admiral Brownson, en route to the Far East, arrived here during the day and ex- changed salutes with the British sec- ond cruiser squadron, Rear Admiral Prince Louis of Battenberg command- ing, and the garrison. The American vessels are expected to remain here for five days. MAINE FIGHT ONLY AN INCIDENT, Labor Intends to Continue Battle at the Polls. Washingtony Sept. 19.—“That battle in Maine was merely incidental to the task which labor has set itself to ac- complish,” said President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor at the Typographical temple, where a reception was given in honor of the labor leaders who fought against Representative Littlefield’s re-election in Maine. “Not only Mr. Littlefield but ‘Uncle Joe’ dared to reiterate that we stand for the licensing of criminal and unlawful conduct. We ask for legal rights before the law, as any other citizens, I have it not in mind to say a word In criticism of the pres- ident other than this—the right of pe- tition is the right .of the- American citizen guaranteed by the Constitu- tion and neither the president nor con- gress can take that right away from him. Labor is the only power in-hu- man society that Wepresents the masses. -The laboring people have outgrown the stooped-back and reced- ing forehead of ‘the man with the hoe.’ They now stand. erect. They are waging a fight against child labor and against the white plague. By se- curing better hours and higher wages they will found better homes in which tuberculosis cannot enter.” Second Mutiny Put Down. Port Said, Sept. 19.—There was a fresh mutiny on board the Turkish troopship Assar-I-Tewfik, which was again put down. It is reported that 100 men were wounded in the disturb- ance of Monday. Too Buggestiv I a small town in California a hos pital was erected on Salsipuedes street, and the board of directors, in lieu of something better, suggested that the hospital bear the name of the 'straet. One more cautlous than the rest Bug- gested that it would be well to know the meaning of such a name before making indiscriminateuse of it, and it Is to this man that the success of the hospital is due, for on finding that Sal- #lpuedes meant “get out If you can,” the name was hastily changed to some- thing less suggestive of “who enters | ntnucfim‘smps WRECKED!NEW RAILAGAD RATE —_—— HARBOR OF HONGKONG STRUCK BY DESTRUCTIVE TYPHOON WITHOUT WARNING. OREAT LOSS OF LIFE REPORTED BAID PROPERTY DAMAGE WILL AGGREGATE SEVERAL MIL- LIONS OF DOLLARS: Hongkong, Sept. 19.—A disastrous typhoon occurred here during the day. A dozen steamers in the harbor have sunk, are in a .sinking condition or have been driven ashore. The Amer- fcan ship S. P. Hitchcock is ashore. The British steamer Kwangchow has ' sunk. The steamer Mont Eagle, be- longing to the Canadian Pacific Rail- road company, is ashore. Two other British steamers, the Sancheung and the Wingchai, have sunk. The Fat- shan is ashore. The German steamer Johanne is being beached to prevent her sinking. Apenrade is in a sinking condition and the German steamers Signal, Pe- trarch and Emmaluyken are ashore. The German steamer Prinz Waldemar was damaged. The Mont Eagle had her stern post broken. Attempts are being made to float her, The British gunhoats Robin and Moorhen and the torpedo boat de- stroyer Takul were damaged. The gunboat Phoenix and the French tor- pedo boat destroyer Francisque were wrecked. Dead Estimated at One Hundred. The latest estimate places the loss | of life at 100 and the damage to prop- erty at several millions. Although the barometer was low during the morning there was nothing to presage & hurricane. Under or- dinary precautions the usual harbor work was in progress when the storm struck the shipping without warning. Vessels pitched ashore along the wa- ter front and the docks and sea walls were strewn with wreckage. Ocean liners, junks, sampans and ferryboats were piled up in the streets and the flooded highways were blocked with the wreckage. The greatest loss of life was among the natives. Pearl river was crowded with boats and the storm sent hun- dreds to the bottom. It is impossible now tosestimate the number who per- | ished. Among the few ships in the harbor which escaped damage is the Empress of Japan. The French torpedo boat destroyer Froude was damaged in a collision and twenty persons were lost. No Americans are reported to have been killed or injured. OCEAN CURRENTS CHANGED. Reason for So Many Accidents in the Pacific Recently. New York, Sept. 19.—Shipping men were much interested in a cable dis- patch from Tokio which stated that the steamer Empress of China, on ar- riving at Toklo Sunday, reported that considerable changes have taken place in . Pacific ocean currents. They re- garded this as accounting for the stranding of so many steamers in the Pacific recently in the vicinity of the Hawaiian islands. The steamers Man- churian and Mongolia and the United States transports Thomas and Sher- idan have met this fate. The Tokio dispatch adds that the report of tidal changes harmonizes with the Kobe observatory’s report of a great earthquake in mid-Pacific, which preceded the convulsion at Val- paraiso by several hours and is be- lieved to have made important changes in the bed of the ocean. BOY SAVES TWO LIVES. Log Rolling at Duluth Fatal to One Youngster. Duluth, Sept. 19.—Ernest Olsen was drowned in the bay and two other boys saved from a like fate only through the heroic action of another lad of eleven. The boys were log rolling with boys of the neighborhood. The two Olsen boys and Ernest Larsen were on the log together when it suddenly turned and they were precipitated into the water. Willle Loney plunged. into the water in an attempt to rescue the drowning boys, He got Arthur Olsen and Ernest Larsen out after a great struggle and then plunged in to pull out Ernest Olsen. He was too late, however, reaching the boy just as he disappeared for the last time. INCOME TAX PROPOSED. “The Netherlands in Need of Increased Revenue. The Hague, Sept. 19.—The states general was opened during the day. The speech from the throne dealt al- most entirely with proposed domestic legislation. It was announced that bills had been prepared for the per- manent enlargement of sources of in- come. These include an income tax, an increuse in the stamp duty.on bonds and a duty on the sale of to- bacco. A revision of the customs tar- it will follow. The excise duty on sugar will be lowered and that on 8pirits raised. A bill extending the financial auton: omy of the East Indian colonfes was announced, BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. D. J.

Briefly they hold that with regard to pay- ments for transportation nothing but money can be legally received. With regard to notices of changes in rates the joint rate between two or more connecting carriers is held to be the legal rate and any change requires thirty days’ notice. With regard to round trip excursion rates the com- mission makes three rulings, the most important Dbeing that these may be changed at one day’s notice. REPLIES TO SECRETARY SHAW. Bryan Addresses Large Crowd at Winston-Salem, N. C, Winsion-Salem, N. C., Sept. 19.— ‘William Jennings Bryan was given a splendid reception and ovation here. For an hour and a halt he spoke to 10,000 people gathered around the courthouse square. He was happily introduced by Governor R. B. Glenn as “the greatest living exponent of Democratic principles.” Mr. Bryan devoted most of his speech to an an- swer to Secretary Shaw's speech on the tariff at Salisbury last week, He styled this member of the president’s | cabinet “the prince of standpatters.” ! Mr. Bryan said that the arguments glven by Secretary Shaw were second- hard garments cast off by his own party, Say Report Is Premature. New York, Sept. 19.—A representa- tive of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. sald during the day that the report : that they have sold to the Union Pa- cific Railroad company the stock of ! the Baltimore and Ohio Raflroad com- pany, which that firm purchased from the Pennsylvania Railroad company, i1s premature. Negotiations for the sale are under way, but not completed, | Kuhn, Loeb & Co. announce. HAD NO BONES IN HIS BODY. Brooklyn Curiosity Dies at Age of Twenty-one. New York, Sept. 18.—Born without & bone in his body and absolutely helpless Antonio Conger of Brooklyn lived for twenty-one years. He died on Friday and was buried Monday. His case attracted much attention from medical men, who frequently visited the home of his father to examine him. From the day of his birth until his death Antonio was never out of a cradle. He could see, but could neither hear nor talk. He was power- less to move hand or foot and yet was perfectly formed, except for the fact that he had no bones. Antonio was twenty inches in height and his body was broad. TAFT FOR PRESIDENT. Rumored to Have Declined Seat on Supreme Bench. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Sept. 18.—Rumor says that Secretary Taft has declined the offer of a position on the United States supreme court bench. He has made up his mind to try for the pres- {dency and from now he must be con- sidered an important factor in the race for the Republican nomination in 1908. Spencer F. Eddy of Illinois, first sec: retary of the American embassy at St. Petersburg, has been transferred to a similar position in the American em- bassy at Berlin. John T. Shayne, for years head of a big Chicago mercantile concern, has been declared insane and the Amer- fean Trust and Savings bank has been lpgointed conservator of his estate. MARKET QUOTATIONS.

Since leaving New ork, Miss Young has visited Wash- ington, Philadelphia, Baltimore and other cities, duplicating everywhere the splendid impression made during the original run of the play.

Very few Loudon dealers indeed are competent to judge Turner’s works-—- that is, without a certified history. A lady acquaintance of mine had a large pleture in her house which she had al- ways regarded as a Turner, and, desir- ing to sell it, she offered it to five or six of the leading dealers, but not one of them would buy it at any price, as- Serting that Turner never saw It and that it was nothing like his work, and 80 on.

Color and Aroma of Coffee. There are two things which people fmagine are guides to the goodness of coffee which are really of no conse- quence whatever. They are the color of the decoction and the aroma of the coffee when ground or as it escapes from the pot in drawing. The color is due almost entirely to the roasting. This i3 true also of tea. The finest coffees and teas, when properly roast- ed and prepared, to give out their finest flavors will color the water but little. The real essences which give the flavor have practically no color.
