Besides these there were many who are not delegates and many of the delegates are accompanied by their wives. It was decided to extend an in- vitation to Supreme Chancellor Thomas der the fast express train on the Great Northern Railway. Lord Strafford left his town house in St. James Square this morning apparently in the best of health., This evening at about 8 o’clock he was standing on the platform of Potter’s Bar Station, just this side of Hatfleld. Those who saw him on tv platform did not notice anything par ticularly in his behavior. He was pac- ing up and down waiting for a local train. As the fast express, which does not stop -at Potter's Bar, was seen ap- proaching Lord Strafford, who was standing near the edge of the platform, suddenly fell forward on the ralls in front of the flying train. Abgolutely nothing could be done to rescue him, and the horrified onlookers saw the massive engine rush over his prostrate | G.

VANCOUVER, B. C., May 16.—The as- cent of Mount Morrison, the highest mountain in Formosa, has been com- pleted at last, after many others have failed, by K. T. Stoepel, the explorer of the peak of Orizaba in Mexico and the Muuna Klea and Mauna Loa in Hawall. Mr. Stoepel succeeded, despite many hair- breadth escapes from wild animals and aboriginal tribes and the excessive heat. He has done a great deal for the better knowledge of the island, the mountain, the climate and the hunting. On the mountain, near the summit, he discovered a tribe of human beings that had never seen the face of a white man, and, possibly, had never seen a China- man. These people were of ferocious aspect, extremely ugly, thin and entirely that nothing definite is known among the the contemplated plans, it is admitted by bureau chiefs here that they have been at work on the matter for a long time on their own responsibility, and that they will be fully prepared to meet the passen- ger situation whenever it is announced. At the start cnly one train a day will be run each way. Under the schedule proposed the trains may leave here for San Francisco at about 5 p. m., arriving at 10 o'clock the next morning, covering the distance in fifteen hours. The Southern Pacific Owl trains make runs in fourteen hours, while regular trains on that road run between the two cities in twenty hours. The Santa Fe line will take passengers directly into San Francisco, the trains be- ing loaded on the ferry boat at Point | Richmond, to be landed on the San Fran- | cisco side.

WATER TO IRRIGATE | THOUSANDS OF ACRES STOCKTON, May 16.—The farmers in | the country north of Lodi are much re- | joiced over the prospect of an early opers tion of the reconstructed Woodbridge canal system. For four years the ditch have been dry, while millions of gallons of water raced over the broken dam in the Mokelumne River. First the company went into the hands of a receiver, then the creditors fought and it was not till five months ago that a company of local capitalists acquired the rights of the original projectors of the enterprise. Re- construction and repair began at once, and it is announced that by the 20th inst v will be ready to irrigate the es adjacent to the main ditch. ix inch pipe is to be put into the first 1500 a A thirf new pumping plant to the ditch. The company will increase its operations next year. For the present the pumping plant will not have to be operated, as there Is 415 feet of water running through the old headgate. The Mokelumne River is being swelled hourly by the melting snow in the mountains, insuring an abundance of water for the company. The company is said to have plans in view for a great irrigation system cover- ing the entire northern section of the county. It was with that view that the rights of the old company were acquired. The old plant was glmost a wreck and Mokelumne River. The new company, headed by W. D. Buckley, is composed of progressive business men who are en- tirely able to carry out their projects. MAYOR VAN WYCK SHOWS HIS TEMPER NEW YORK, May 16.—Mayor Robert A. Van Wyck was on the witness stand to- day before the Mazet investigating com- mittee. There was not much of note about the Mayor's testimony, and only on one occasion did he find reason to make an outbreak. This was when he was questioned by Counsel Moss of the committee regarding the rumored connec- tion of a man ‘named Van Wyck with a number of poolrooms.” The Mayor be- came very angry at this and declared that Mr. Moss had asked that question for the purpose of insinuation. He demanded that if any evidence was obtained to prove any such connection it should®be produced before the committee. nied most emphatically that he had any connection with any poolrooms whatso- ever or any other illegal business. Mayor Van Wyck asserted emphatically also that he had never consulted with any one re- garding the appointments he had made. it s e MORRISON RESIGNS. Surrenders One of the Offices He Held at San Jose. SAN JOSE, May 16.—Thomas F. Mor- rison to-day tendered his resignation to Mayor Martin as a member of the Police and Fire Commission. A short time ago he was elected to fill a vacancy in the County Auditorship. This dual office- holding aroused a good deal of comment. Only this morning the Republican Good Government League had a committee be- fore Mayor Martin asking that Morrison be ousted from the commission, and it fs said the Mayor was in accord with the request, but declined to act hastily, The charter’ provides that a Police and Fire Commissioner shall not be eligible for any other office. Morrison’s friends have been urging him to hold on and test the matter. Morrison, however, decided to re- sign. fl' his_letter of resignation to Mayor Martin Morrison said his attornev had advised him he could retain the office, but not wlahlnfi to arouse any friction he re- linquished it. There- are a dozen candidates for the place, among them Clifford Owen, Ernest Lion and several other prominent busi- ness men. i e San Jose’s New Daily.
