Davenport, Iowa, June 10. — Peck Jsland passenger train No. 6, east- bound, was derailed yesterday at Jen- nings, Kan., and one man was killed and twelve passengers were hurt, none dangerously. Clad only in his pajamas, Rev. M. M. Want, pastor of the Methodist church at Virden, Ill, was the first to undertake the rescue of passengers from the wreck, Unaided, he pulled Fireman Frank Richards from the wrecked north- bound engine and laid him by the way- side. Richards soon after died. Con- tinuing his work, Rey. Want threw heavy timbers from off Engineer Taylor. Other passengers came to his as- sistance and he organized the. work of succoring those who had been in- jured. John Sweigle of Fairmont, Minn., one of the injured passengers, will probably die. BOAT UPSET THREE DROWN. Fishermen Lose Their Lives in Five Feet of Water. St. Paul, June 10. — O. J. Nordby, Dennis S. McGuinn and Jack Shea were drowned in five feet of water at Bass lake shortly after 6 o’clock yes- terday morning. Maynard F. Brooks, the fourth member of the party, was rescued just as he was sinking for the third time. They were fishing in a rowboat when the tragedy occurred. Although a heavy wind was blowing over the lake at the time and the waves were running high, the slight- est coolness on the part of the drowned men would have saved their lives. At the point where the boat capsized the water is hardly five feet deep, and it would have been possible for any one to have walked ashore. SWINE TRAMPLE ON FARMER Rush From Pen Striving to Reach Food. Fargo, N. D., June 10.—Louis Wat- son of Amenia is in the county hospi- tal suffering from a broken leg and other injuries as a result of an en- counter with a drove of husky pork- ers. Watson took down the bars to enter a pen where he had a number of hogs. The animals were unusually hungry, and as they saw food in the next pen, they stampeded as soon as the bars were let down. Watson was thrown down and trampled upon by the animals, his leg being broken and his body badly bruised. He will re- cover. BURIED ALIVE IN ORE. Life of Young Italian Miner Crushed Out at Chisholm. Chisholm, Minn., June 10.—An ava- lanche of ore crushed out the life of Louis Amato, an Italian, twenty-four years of age, in the Monroe mine yes- terday.

Without warning the dirt be- gan crumbling away from the stick and Amato was thrown to the bottom of the pit, a distance of fifty feet. More than thirty tons of ore fell upon him. FIRE THREATENS ALL CITY. Yankton Has Conflagration That Im- perils Big Area. Yankton, S. D., June 10.—Yankton has had the worst fire which has oc- curred here in many years. The W. T. Van Epps livery, which accommo- dated sixty horses, was destroyed with seven head of stock; a huge woodpile of many cords was burned, and a barn of the Loonan Lumber company also went up in smoke. The main business district was threatened, having become littered with burning brands from the fire. The fire depart- ment coped successfully with the flames. The loss will not exceed $5,- 000. Will Cost a Million. Chicago, June 10. — The improve- ments at the Union stock yards to be ordered by the city authorities as the result of the recent examination of the buildings, will cost the packers nearly $1,000,000, according to esti- mates made by Building Commission- er Bartzen, Young Woman Kills Friend.

FILTH 1S HASTILY HIDDEN PRESIDENT GIVES HOUSE COM- MITTEE MORE FACTS ON THE SUBJECT. —— Washington, June 8. — A thorough reorganization of the bureau of ani- mal industry will follow closely the disclosures of the unsanitary condi- tion existing in the packing houses at Chicago. There are rumors, more- over, that cabinet changes may follow the incident. é The president is not at all pleased that he had to go outside the depart- ment of agriculture to learn of the re- volting state of affairs. He has com- plete confidence in the integrity of Secretary Wilson, but that the secre- tary has been imposed upon by his subordinates or has a force of incom- petent employes is emphasized by the fact that the conditions which Messrs. Neill and Reynolds so severely con demned, and which in the opinion of the president necessitates remedial legislation, have existed under the noses of 600 government inspectors. Costs Packers Dearly. Kansas City, June 8.—The journal says: It if estimated that the business done by the pasking houses located here will suffer to the extent of $10,- 000,000 as a result of the agitation in connection with the presidert’s cru- sade against “dressed” meats. Rep- resentatives of the various plants seen yesterday agreed with the esti- mate in the telegraphic dispatcaes that the business of the whole country would show a loss of at least $150,400, 000. Beef 2 Cents a Pound? “ Washington, June 9.—So persistent and hostile were the attacks made on Commissioner of Labor Neill yester- day by members of the committee on agriculture because of his charges against the beef packers that Repre- sentative Bowie of Alabama protested against the manner in which he was being treated. It has been predicted that if the agitation continues much longer and the foreign demand continues to de- crease, cattle will soon be down to 2 cents a pound on the hoof, instead of from 5 to 6 cents, as.at present. The representatives who have cattle-rais- ing constituents are urging the com- mittee to finish its work and stop the agitation. President Not Through. Washington, June 10.—In response to a request from the house commit- tee on agriculture, President Roose- velt yesterday forwarded to Repre- sentative Wadsworth, the chairman of that committee, the report made to him by a committee of the department of agriculture, regarding conditions in the Chicago meat packing houses. Accompanying the report was a letter from the president, in which he points out that there is no conflict in sub- stance between the Neill-Reynolds re- port and that of the agricultural de- partment experts. Humorous Haste to Clean Up. It is said in the latest report that the packing house proprietors are manifesting almost a “humorous haste to clean up, repave, and even to plan for future changes.” New toilet rooms are being provided, with additional dressing rooms and clean towels. The report says that the haste toward re- form “would have been amusing, if it were not so nearly tragis.” The president says his investiga- tions have not been completed, but that “enough has been developed in my judgment to call for immediate, thorough-going and radical enlarge- ment of the powers of the government in inspecting all meats which enter into interstate and foreign com- merce.” Armour Flies Into Wild Rage. Paris, June 10.—Ogden Armour lost his temper yesterday when inter- viewed about the revelations of the Chicago packing house investigators appointed by President Roosevelt. As soon as the subject was mentioned he flew into a rage, stamping his foot and gesticulating wildly as he spoke. He denounced President Roosevelt without stint. “I say that no sane man, nobody with the slightest knowledge of the packing trade as it is conducted in Chicago, can believe the horror stories in the newspapers,” said Mr. Armour. Many Hurt in Wreck. Norton, Kan., June 10.—Eastbound passenger train No. 6, on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, was wrecked near Jennings. The engine and all the coaches save one were derailed.

Some win- dows were broken. Several thousand dollars damage was done at Havre. One building was blown down, several were unroofed and three horses were killed. Great Falls reported more or less damage. It is feared that many crops were ruined and the loss to young lambs will be heavy. Damage Over $200,000, Havre, Mont., June 13.—Havre and Fort Assiniboine were struck by a hurricane yesterday afternoon that did damage estimated at $200,000. Buildings were toppled over without warning, and not a structure in the path of the terrific wind escaped dam- age. Several persons were injured, but up to a late hour no fatalities were reported. The fierce wind carried rain with it, which fact precluded the possibil- ity of damage by fire. Tornado in Georgia. Tifton, Ga., June 13.—A_ tornado swept over the town late yesterday afternoon, damaging more than fifty houses. Eight tenement houses were destroyed, two persons were seriously injured and many others slightly hurt. The Presbyterian church was also wrecked. The damage so far report- ed amounts to $30,000. No reports have been received from the outlying country. REBELS WIN VICTORY. Toledo Vanquishes Guatemala Presi- dent in Each Contest. City of Mexico, June 13.—Advices received here from Salvador, instead of confirming the oilicial reports that the Guatemalans have been victorious over the revolutionists, say that Gen. Toledo, the leader of the Southern revolutionary force, has won a sweep- ing victory, has captured the govern- ment’s artillery and is receiving in every engagement heavy accessions of deserters from President Cabiera’s forces. Both sides claim everything, but Ocos, according to advices from Tapachula, is still in the hands of the revolutionists. Gen. Barrillas, leader of the North- ern revolutionary forces, is on the isthmus of Tehuantepec, but it is said that he may in a few days be in Sal- vador. The news available is confusing, but people connected with the Guate- malan revolution appear pleased with their advices. Little news favorable to Cabiera reaches here. | ELLEN TERRY’S JUBILEE. Most Remarkable Demonstration in History of Stane. London, June 13.—The lasting and loving affection in which English playgoers hold their favorites found splendid exemplification yesterday in the matinee at the Drury Lane theater in commemoration of the theatrical jubilee of Ellen Terry. It was the most remarkable manifestation of its Kind in the history of the British stage, not only drawing to the great historic auditorium an immense audi- ence, representative of all walks of life, but filling the stage with the most notable names in the dramatic pro- fession. POSTAGE REDUCED. Change in Letter Rate Made by In- ternational Postal Congress. Washington, June 13.—In_ connec- tion with the work of the recent uni- versal postal congress, the postoffice department has given out a statement as to the effect of one of the provi- sions of that convention, as affecting this country. Under the reduced rates a letter to Great Britain will cost 5 cents for the first ounce and 3 cents for the second ounce, or 8 cents for two ounces.

RADICAL LAW IS PROMISED / STRONGLY REASSURING STATE- MENT FROM COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE. Washington, June 13—Members of the house yesterday rushed to the de- fense of the cattlemen of the country, and some of them characterized the Neill-Reynolds report as “hysterical, hypercritical. and sensational.” The beef controversy was started in the house, while the sundry civil bill was under consideration. Represent- ative Mondell of Wyoming, a Repub- lican, was the first to mention the matter. ' The bringing in of the controversy was mainly for the purpose of testing the sentiment of the house. The ap- plause which greeted the remarks of speakers criticising the report of Messrs. Neill and Reynolds showed clearly that the sympathies are with the cattlemen. No Sympathy for Trust. Every speaker disclaimed any con- sideration for the beef trust, and all said they were speaking for the cat- tlemen and farmers, who were de- clared to be the real losers because of the decline of the prices paid for cattle. Mr. Amos of Massachusetts, in a defense of the president and in favor of the packers paying the cost of in- spection, said: “I have no sympathy whatever for the packers who deliberately brought this storm of righteous indignation against their methods and upon them- selves; and I have the greatest sym- pathy for the executive who, to recti- fy a crying evil, was forced, much against his desire and earnest appeal, to make public the report that he well knew would reap a whirlwind of hor- ror and reproach for one of our great- est industries.” “Countless Tainted Fortunes.” Speaking of the packers and the hue and cry they have raised, Mr. Ames said: “Not content with the shameless ac- quisition of countless fortunes from tainted sources, safe in their belief of their own immunity, arrogant in their escape from the processes of courts, violators of our laws against illegal combinations, spreaders of the white plague ,slaughterers of humanity—in order to save a paltry two millions by threats of lowering the price of cattle, they would drive their very victims to their own defense, and risk, yes, bring ruin, to every cattle raiser in the land. To provide that the gov- ernment should pay the cost of inspec- tion would be completely to nullify the purpose of the bill.” Promise Radical Law. The house committee of agricul- ture continued its consideration of the Beveridge meat inspection amend- ment until after 6 o'clock last even- ing, but did not complete its tentative consideration of all features of the amendment. The only statement made by the committee was that the couniry could be assured that the result of the de- liberations would be a meat inspection Jaw which would suit the most radical demands in that respect. Final con- clusions on the matter, so far as the committee is concerned, will be reached to-day, and the amendment will be reported to the house as a part of the agricultural bill Thursday. Modify Beveridge Measure. The Beveridge amendment has been modified by the committee tentatively in a number of respects. One of these is to restrict its operations to “conti- nental United States.” As originally drawn the amendment was applicable to all of the possessions of the United States. The date of the labels on canned meat products is not to be required. Neither is an inspection of the product of the small butcher, who may inci- dentally, by reason of his location near a state line, do an interstate com- merce business in serving customers on both sides of the line. AGED MINER IS KILLED. Cavein In Montana Injures Several Others. Helena, Mont., June 13.—Mike Herr, an old Montana miner, was caught in a cavein in Golden Leaf mine in Bea- verhead county and killed.

Helena, Mont., June 13.—Three of the men indicted by the United States grand jury pleaded guilty in United’ States court today and were sen- tenced by Judge Hunt, as follows: Albert Lincoln, horse stealing on an Indian reservation, nine months; John A. Cobell, horse stealing, eleven months; Thomas Doyle, selling liquor to Crow Indians, sixty days and $100 KING EDWARD PARTICULARLY ATTENTIVE TO PRESIDENT'S DAUGHTER. London, June 13.—Seldom has the entertainment of any foreign govern- ment attracted the attention of the social, diplomatic and political world than did the dinner and _ reception given by Ambassador and Mrs. Reid last evening for Representative and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, and at which King Edward, by his presence and attention to President Roosevelt's daughter, marked his esteem for the United States and the chief executive. Parke lane, in the vicinity of Dorches- ter House, drew immense crowds as the carriages of distinguished guests passed through the fashionable thor- oughfare to the residence which, since Mr. Reid took it a year ago, has wel- comed the most famous Englishmen and visiting Americans and foreign- ers. In many respects, however, the gathering last evening was distinctive, for besides King Edward and Mr. and Mrs. Longworth, the company includ- ed cabinet ministers, political leaders of both parties, diplomats and persons of prominence in English society. King Edward took out Mrs. Reid, and, at the king’s desire, Mrs. Long- worth was seated at the other side of him, thus taking precedence of the duchesses. Ambassador Reid escorted the duchess of Marlborough, with the duchess of Buccleuch on his left. There was less formality than at purely English functions attended by the king, who was, technically, for the time, on American soil. EXPLOSION KILLS FOUR.

DAY. REBELS DEFYING —COSSACKS CZAR'S TROOPS IN OPEN MUTINY AND ARMED REVOLT IS FEARED. St. Petersburg, June 13.—A tempest is brewing in the lower house of par- liament and it will break when Mili- tary Procurator Pavloff takes the ros- trum, as he is expected to do on Thursday, upon the reassembling of the house, to give War Minister Rudi- ger’s explanation of the executions in the Baltic provinces. It is claimed that evidence has been secured that orders were issued to stop the execu- tion of the eight men who were put to death May 29 for the killing of a police lieutenant, but that the order was deliberately delayed by Pavloff and the telegram arrived too late, though the commander at Riga delay- ed the execution to the latest possible moment. Will Raise a Storm. The socialist group intends to make a stormy demonstration, and even conservative members of the Consti- tutional Democratic party are enraged at vhat they regard as. new proof of governmental duplicity in another death sentence for an attempt to mur- der a Cossack, which is reported from Reval. The Constitutional Democrats also are irritated by the discovery of a secret circular to governors, order- ing the closest watch kept over prom- inent members of the party, and that their every movement be reported to St. Petersburg. Czar’s Troops in Revolt. Poliava, South Russia, June 13.—An open mutiny has broken out in ihe Fletz regiment of/infantry over the failure of the military authorities to redeem their pledges regarding the amelioration of service conditions made as a result of the revolt last fall. The mutiny threatens to spread to the rest of the garrison. The small force of loyal Cossacks are unable to cope with the mutineers, who are armed with rifles and have a supply of cartridges. The rebels left their barracks in a body and held a meeting in the public square, at which delegates from the Zesky regiment of infantry and the artillery promised thai these forces will join in the mutiny. The public is greatly excited, antici- pating that the revolutionists will seize the opportunity to inaugurate an armed revolt in support of the mu- tinous soldiers. DOWIE ON WITNESS STAND.
