THE OREGONIAN'S HOMESTUDY CIRCLE: DIRECTED BY PROF. SEYMOUR EATON GOLDEN AGES OF LITERATURE XIV HOIIETI, DA3TTE AJCD MILTOX. It seexnw natural to group these three great eplo poets together, but at least be tween Dante and Homer there are few points ot contact. Nothing could better measure the distance In experience trav eled by the human race from the dawn ot civilization to the culmination, so far, of Christianity as the contract between the "Iliad" and Odyssey" and the "Divine Comedy." The ecene of the Homeric poems Is this earth. They show us men loving, hating, quarreling, fighting, dying, with a superb naturalness that comes fresh to us today through all the centuries since they were written. The "Iliad" shows us pre-eminently man the fighter, and hie foes are ot flesh and blood. The "Odyssey" shows us pre-eminently man the wanderer, and the hero traverses the surface ot a world atlll teeming Indeed with marvel, yet with all Its marvels wholly open to the eye of sense. They are glorious poems. Their epell Is cast on all who read them, from childhood to manhood. There la In them .a Joy of life, a vigor, a. movement, an en thusiasm for all the natural activities and passions of men, wtilch belong to the youth of the race and which we catch ones more as we retreat -within the Homeric ho rizon. The scene of the "Dlvino Comedy" of Dante is the soul of one individual man. "We no longer follow the movement ot bat tles; we no longer sail over the world. Vfe penetrate deeper and deeper, then higher and higher, the experiences of a single in dividual. It Is a strange transition. What does it mean? It means that Christianity has come into the world, and has revealed that the fate of nations and the stirring ot the peoples aro of leas account in the eter nal vision than those Inward events and actions which determine the moral destiny of separate men. At first the older epic very likely ecems the greater to us; assuredly the more en tertaining. There Is more variety in it. n wider range of character and incident, per haps, we think, a more healthful and cheerful tone. Now It Is Impossible to measure the great Imaginative treasures of the race against each other, or to eey ono Is greater than another. To each star its own glory. And yet If we look deeper we shall hardly say that Homer Is more cheerful than Dante. These ancient epics are essentially, when analyzed, sad. Their gods are now friendly, now nostlle, but al ways capricious; their heroes largely the sport of fate; the loveliest woman In them the fatal Helen, the source of disaster, ruin and shame; when all the eager fight ing Is done It is hard to seo that there la any worthy end to It all, and a great dark ness awaits warriors and wanderers, the entire human race, as It passes out of sight Into mystery. It Is not because Dante holds. In a me chanical way, to a life beyond that his poem seems to the thoughtful reader mora fraught with hope and Inward Joy than that of the Greek world. It is because hero and now he reveals eternity. Reading him, we feel how wonderfully life has been en riched, how Its scope has broadened, how many new elements have entered it, as the race has gone on living. The range of emo tlon, of aim, of experience, both in Joy and sorrow, is widened beyond all words. It Is ot little use to make an assertion like this without proving it, but one must read Homer and Dante to see whether the th.ng Is true. The love of woman in Dante is no longer a devouring fate, a bitter cause of strife; it has become holy, and it leads men up to God. Suffering Is no longer the strange blight imposed upon the race by a mysterious fate. Mysterious still how otherwise? It la yet fraught with redemptive power. An end of Joy beyond all human thought awaits the wan derer. The. bun of enduring happiness that the ancient world could conceive Is recognized and given a place in Dante, but so has man's power ot Imagining Joy risen through the ages that this old pagan hap piness is by Dante actually put within the limits of hell. The elyslan fields, the par adise of antl;ult7. the happiest future for virtuous men that Homer or Virgil could dream of. are In his underworld. There live forever all the noble, men who knew not Christ. They rest from their labors; they wander on enameled meads; they abide In majestic dwellings; they share high 'converse undisturbed by wrath or fear. Nor Homer nor Virgil could con ceive a higher Joy. But Dante knew a higher a heaven of ecstacy and rapture into which no pagan poet ever mlgnt eoar. He has been reproached for leaving hli great heathens In Umbo, and we might re gret that he put them there, but at least we must recognize that he gave them all they had ever wished. In fullest measure. The epic of antiquity, the epic of the out ward life, will always Have a wider ap peal than Dante. It will always possets, in a sense, more action, variety, actuality and charm. Yet every dispassionate read er must recognize, whether with Joy or sorrow, the new regions entered and ex plored by the soul of man, and the new treasures brought from within between the time of "Iliad" and "Odyssey" and the time of the "Divine Comedy." There would seem at first rlirht to be more points of likeness between Milton and Dante. The "Paradise Lost," like the "Divine Comedy," to a religious, a Christian epic: both poems have for theme the fall and the redemption of man, both present wonderful pictures of hell and heaven. Yet, though they arc Indeed most interesting to compare, the longer one studies the more striking be comes the difference between the poem. We must note at the beginning that, his torically speaking, Milton subtends a much smaller arc than Dante. Dante is the poet of universal Catholicism; Milton the poet of English purltanlsm of the 17th century. We would expect to find, as we do find, a certain coldness, certain limita tions, mingled with much that fc exalted and noble In its poet. A very special type of theology, a type which did not endure vpry long the tei of time, underlies the intellectual structure of the "Paradise Lost." Milton Is extremely anxious lo Jus tify this theology, which he honestly con siders tc be the full expression of the will of God. He starts out, as he deliberately tells us. "to Justify the ways of God to man." It would never have occurred to Dante that the ways of God needed Justifi cation. In the "Divine Comedy" Dante moves adoring In a world revealed by faith; in the "Paradise Lost" Milton pre sento eloquently a world' conceived by the ology. It Is a very different matter. It follows that there is a deep personal note In Dante'? poem that we do not And in Milton's. Milton wrote a most wonder, ful decrlpt'on of the Garden of Eden, and of Adam and Eve In It. This description Is one of the great things In literature. It Is so powerful In beauty. In melody. In In tellectual presentment, that for genera tions It fa'rly Imposed on the English Im agination, and although It bore little re lation to the mysterious, brief account ot paradise and the fall In holy writ, we still today mix up Mllfon and the Bible. And yet, with all the beauty of the de ser'ptlon. we do not feel as It Milton had visited the place. I am quite sure that Dante. In his own perron, wandered In that little wood, where the breeze was blow Ins and the brook was flowing, on the top of the Mount of Purgatory. I am never, I confess, certain that Milton's own feet had strayed thrcigh the winding paths of his Eden. The noblest part of the "Paradise Lost" Is the marvelously exalted yet somber treatment of hc'l nnd of Lucifer. Every one knows the magnificent description of that dreary but Impressive region of the shades; of Lucifer, "with faded splendor wan" presiding, in dignity great as his angulh. over his concourse of grand thouch sinning, demon, winging his" way in awful flight through chaos tempting Eve, 'dcrplte a momentary visiting of re morseful agony, and returning to his dirk realm, only to find that he presides by poetic Justice splendidly conceived no longer over infernal princes, but over Infernal serpents. It is glorious work. Dante has nothing like It. There Is a fa mous passage in Macaulays youthful es. say on Mlltcn, comparing the conceptions ot hell in Milton and in Dante, in which Macaulay says that Milton Is far the greater because leas definite, leaving more scope for his imagination; and It has been pointed out again and again that Mil ton's hell and his devil have an unfailing dignity and grandeur, while Dante's are often almost absurdly grotesque. It is true. Nothing could be more strangely different, for instance, than the concep tions of Lucifer. Dante's Lucifer is no magnlfic:ntly tragic. Impressive, though fallen angel; he Is a helpless, monstrous creature. He sticks forever, motionless, at the lowest point of hell. In the exact center of the earth; the weight ot the whole material world pressing upon him from every side. From his three horri ble heads flow tears that perpetually freeze, he gnaws three chief sinners in his three Jaws, and the slow waxing ot his batlike wings diffuses an ley wind ABkBSSwSSaHHBflBdBSSJBaSSiunH UKsfBsssssssBssaw sVf dftWNssBssssssssassssSsVvlBsW jorrx miltox. of death throughout the nethermost hell; for to Dante, fold, not fire, is the supreme expression of the second death. All this Is very strange: far less appealing than Milton; yet if we think we may discover that Dante had a special meaning and had brooded long over the nature and function of evil before he presented Luci fer as he did. Meanwhile, when we turn Jo comparing the heavens ot the two poets, Macaulay distinction becomes entirely false: one questions If he had ever read anythlrg in Dante beyond the "Inferno." For Milton's heaven Is a large, deflnl'e country, with , 5as spoiten wun great "eeaom 01 ner con precise geography? up somewhere In tho ! noence In Ms success If he decided to ac- sky. Dante's Is lnflnlto though ordered space. The heaven of "Paradise Lost Is surrounded by a crystal battlement; the rebel angels have their country seats In the northern part of the land; when they are In the final conflict routed by the Messiah, they are driven back to the battlement, and. breaking thro-jgh It, fall down, down, through the material uni verse of chaos, till they tumble into hell. The denizens of this country are as clear ly visible to us as the scenery. They aro magnificent creatlors. Mlltons angels: it Is well to compare them with Dante's, which are quite differently and for more mystcally conceived less loquacious, less like intelligent statesmen on a heroic scale: more like spiritual forces, focussed and made visible. There is one point, at all even's, and this most important, where no one can question which of our two poets Is the greater the treatment of the Dlty. Heie Mlltcn made a great mislake, for he brought God directly upon the scene, made him talk, and talk, more over, of all subjects in the world, on theology. The anthropomorphic metnod ol the "PanuTse Lost" Is absolutely obnox ious here. Dante was wissr; It Is not for us to say whether his greater wisdom sprang from deeper reverence. God, In his 'Paradise" Is all p'tvflie. and the consdousnesi of every spirit In piradtse Is fixed on him alone; but he Is unappar ent. and even at the climax, where the Seatlflc vision Is attained, we sse that vision only In. symbol, and understand Its nature rather from the wondrous so'em nlty of Dan'.e's passion than from any other cause. Ind'ed, W2 may as well y frankly that out of tho Scriptures no poet has ever been succe-stul In deplct'ng htaven a state of u-sVadowed light, untroubled Joy except Dante. The more one studies the "Par.idlso the mere wonderfci it ap pears. And the reaon why Dante has succeeded where all o'hers have failed Is because he a one hps, so far as man can e"o. de-arded anthrep-morph'.sm and adopted a methed wholly s.mbo'Ic His saints and angels do not appear to us In the body; they are described simply by deepening llcht, by shifting, dreamlike rymbol.

They are manifest us ra'nbows nnd flawers. as danclrg Hgh's. nr reflectlo-s In clear wat er, as flying birds of light, as rubles In the sun. a a golden stairway mounting upward, as a crown, as s'ars losing them selves In a deepening day, as a river ot light, and, finally, cs a celestial rose the rose of the blessed, wherein all the saints, tier after tier. Intoxicated by the fra grance of tint wonderful world-flower, sit razing toward the golden center, which Is God. As he sees all these Imares of glory. Dante's mood Is one of worship nnd Joy unspeakable. 'That whl:h I was seeing seemed to me a smile of the uni verse!" he exclaims. And his Joy Is es sentially not because of the beauty; not because of the melody that ever sounds through the ranks of the redeemed, not for any natural reason, but supremely and finally because this heaven Is a holy place. He has made us feel Its holiness; feel that we arc In a region where sin Is ended nnd banished, though character remains. This is a wonderful thing to do. Milton did great things, but he could not do this. Mil ton heaven is. ot course, supposea to oe the abode of rlghtcoi e-e?s; but w'e do not feel It so. In Dante, three lovely lines. near the beginning of the "Paradlso." sum up the whole effect "In hU will Is our peace," says one of the least of the blessed discuss family matters In the newspa ones.

A few weeks ago a Washington society paper " published a cartoon which .excited a great doal ot comment, because so many people recog nized It as an accurate representation of a painful fact. Admiral Dewey was repre sented sitting upon a high stooL A wom an who bore a striking resemblance to Mrs. Dewey had already removed a laurel wreath from his brow, and had substituted a fool's cap. She had dlvesfed htm of his sword and sash, which lay on a chair near by. and had girded him with a spangled belt of mock diamonds and Jingling bells, and was removing his epaulets and other insignia of rank, and the medals and deco rations that covered his breast and con cealing his uniform with fantastic decora- tlons and furbelows like those worn by a clown In a circus. The ptcturo was passed around everywhere, and now everybody says that it contained more truth than humor. I have from time to time reported the gossip in Washington society regarding the development of Admiral Dewey's Presi dential boom, and therefore nobody here Is surprised that he should announce himself a candidate. Everybody attributes Ms action to tho Influence of Mrs. Dewey, who has never concealed her ambition; but, on the contrary, for several months has spoken with great freedom of her con- cept a nomination. At first the Admiral condemned this Idea In the most emphatic manner, and used such language as sailors are often addicted to when he said that he would never be entrapped into making a blankety-blank blank blank fool of him self by getting a Presidential bee In his bonnet; but his protestations have grad ually grown weaker and less frequent, and, finally, before he started upon his re cent tour through the South, he Informed friends that he Intended to test public sentiment as to his own candidacy, and would then decide whether he would allow his name to be used. Upon their return from Florida last week Mrs. Dewey told several people that everybody they had met had urged the Admiral to save his country by accceptlng the Presidency; they had been assured over nnd over again that there was no question of his nomination; that either party would be glad to have him for Its candidate, and that when he appeared upon the scene both McKlnley and Bryan would absolutely disappear and be forgot ten. When Mrs. Dewey was asked what tick et the Admiral was to run on. she replied that It did not make much difference: that, he being a Republican, and she a 'Demo crat. It was a standoff so far as politics was concerned. She believed that any party would be glad to adopt hln, land he would be the people's candidate, regard less of the ticket upon wMch his name appeared. Some weeks ago a scout In the person ot a genial young Lieutenant was sent out to ascertain the sentiments of Mr. Whitney. Mr. Gorman, Mr. Hill and other anti-Bryan Democrats concerning Admiral Dewey as a candidate, and. while every body gave him a friendly "Jolly," so far as can be learned no encouragement was offered, chiefly because the matter was not regarded seriously, and the character of the agent who made the inquiries was not such as to command the attention ot men like the political managers he ap proached. It is now believed, however, that Mrs. Dewey herself Induced tho Naval office to make inquiries among the anti-Bryan leaders, and that his report encouraged her to believe that the advent ot the Admiral Into the political field aa an opponent of Bryan would Immediately be welcomed as a solution of the Demo cratic difficulty. Nothing but regret is expressed here to day, both by Democrats and Republicans, and "what a pity" Is the most frequent comment. Everybody declines to discuss tho matter seriously. I called up on tho telephono the most prominent anti-Bryan Democrat In town and asked him what he knew about Admiral "Dewey's announce ment. "I don't know anything about It," he replied. "I was simply taken oft my test when I read It in the papers this morn ing." "What do you think about It?" ."My God, I don't wont to think about It." Said another wise old Democratic poli tician: "If Dewey had Intimated that he would accept a nomination as a Presiden tial candidate when he first arrived at New York, it would have been an easy thing to put him at the top ot the Demo cratic ticket, but now, merciful heavens, he couldn't get a nomination from ths Bodallstlc-Labor party." Mr. John R. McLean, who Is Mrs. Dew ey's brother, and Is credited with a desire for a place on the Democratic ticket with Colonel Bryan, would not discuss Admiral Dewey's announcement, "Please excuse me." he said. "I never sponsible in some manner ror tnc scandal about the house and other newspaper com. ,' ments that have appeared of late, and ' only last week Mrs. Dewey declared that she would like to have the Admiral run for President simply to "knock out" Mc KInley. 1 Estey Organs.

Siberia, Aug. ,-Here In Tomsk the people have a story which never falls to obtain attention, whether It Is credited or not. It Is a story which has not had very wide circulation within the Russian Empire except by word of mouth, for editors here know better than to print such things as would be sure to bring official displeasure upon them. Not enough travelers have written about this city to spread very generally the peculiar tale. One recent writer, Mr. Simpson, of Scotland, has given a graphic account ot what he learned in a chapter entitled. "Monarch or Monk? ALege.d cl loxniK," and since I came here 1 nave unearthed a few additional facts which supplement Ms Inquiries. Altogether It seems worth repeating. The Incredulous may call It another historical hoax, and the credulous may accept It as a contribution to Rus sian history. For myself, 'all I can do Is to tell the facts that appear. TMs story begins with Emperor Alex ander I of Russia. Alexander was the son of the eccentric Paul, who was strangled by his Generals In the gloomy palace now occupied as the School ot Military Engi neers In St. Petersburg. The young man came to tho throne in 1S0L when he was 24 years old. At once he began to prove himself one of "the liberals among Russian monarch. His father's reign had been austere, and the charitable rule of the young man was welcomed with enthusi asm. He recalled many Siberian exiles, abolished tho secret Inquisition, re-established the power ot the Senate, founded the University of Kharkov and stopped tho persecution of the Jews. The country was again opened up to foreigners and permission to travel abroad was granted to citizens of Russia. The Emperor even considered the question of the emanci pation ot the serfs, which was not ac complished for nearly 60 years, so far ahead was he of the Empire. He was as lenient to sectarians and dissenters as h was to the Jews, and far more lenient than his successor?, or most of them, have been. A young ministry was chos en, and reforms began to be Introduced into- every department ot the govern ment. Then came the years of tho Napoleonic Wars, in which Russia was embroiled on one side or the other until the burning ot Moscow and the destruction of the grand army of France. In ISIS Russia was the leading power on the Continent of Eu rope, this position chiefly due to the Influ ence, of the young Emperor. All at once his characteristics began to change. He found ingratitude for his liberal policies facing him. His favorite regiment mu tinied. German liberalism worried him. He became moody, suspicious and discour aged, finally turning from his Ideas of liberalism to the other extreme. Catastro phe, grief, plotting and discontent seemed to surround him, and Ms charity and faith In his people weakened. The Russians had credited to the wrath of God some of the evils that had befallen the monarch. In September, 1S25, he began a Journey of Inspection In the southern port of the Em pire, hoping at the same time to Im prove his health. A few weeks later the news came to his nation that he had died suddenly In an obscure hut at Taganrog, unattended except by his wife, and the Russians considered the "premature and mysterious death of Alexander as an other evidence of the wrath of God. The Hermit of Tomsk. Some 10 years' after the succession ot Nicholas to the throne an old man ap peared at Tomsk as one of a band of ex iles Ju9t arrived from European Russia. His offense had been vagrancy, and his penalty had Included 20 strokes with the "plet" In addition to the sentence of ex ile. He refused all other Information as to his past, giving his name as Theodore Kuzmltch. In appearance he was a tall and commanding figure, about 60 years of age. His carriage, his manner, his con versation, all proved that he was a man of no common origin, and notwithstanding the simplicity of his life and speech It was evident that he was highly educated. From the first his neighbors In the vil lage to which he was assigned peasants and convicts though they were treated him with marked respect. They built a log hut tor him In that village, and there he lived for 11 years, with bread and water for his only food. He made occa sional excursions to neighboring villages. and it was his pleasure to gather the lit tle children ot the peasants about him and teach them to read. A rich merchant of Tomsk, named Khromov, heard the tales Of the venerable hermit and went to see him, and after an acquaintance of several years invited tho old man to remove to his country estate near Tomsk, where he lived tor a time. Next the rich man be came so Impressed with the personality of the mysterious one. who by this time was known for his good works through all the country round about, that he built a little house immediately adjoining Ms own fine home In the city. Induced the hermit to come there, and In that place Kuz mltch lived for the remainder of his days. Russian Dally Paper. To these branches of his business Mr. Makushln adds the editing and publishing of a dally newspaper, wMch has a circu lation of 4300. The work of producing n newspaper in Siberia is subject to some trials that do not come to American ed itors. One of them is that all the matter to appear must be put In type and printed In single columns, like "gallcyproofs," on long strips of paper. These are neatly bound with brass paper fasteners, and the resulting volume Is submitted to the cen ser. He holds it until he reads It, and It all the matter Is satisfactory, he places his official seal upon It. and the matter Is released tor publication. The next day It Is printed. The result of this system Is that each paper has to be edited and completed one day before it Is to be is sued, so the news always Is one day older than It would need to be under the Ameri can system. If something of commanding importance happens after the prospective paper has been approved. It Is rarely pos sible to Induce the censor to approve It out of office hours at the expense of on Interruption of Ms own arrangement, and the consequence is that the matter usually is saved till the next day without making the effort. It Is quite as much of an offense to omit anything that has been approved in the certified proofs sua mltted as to print anything that has not been approved. It Is quite evident that 1! omissions were permitted without censure nn editor who chose to do so could change the whole tenor of his utterances by Ju-' dlclously dropping paragraphs here and there. Tomsk Is not without other public Inst' tutlons. The opera-houso Is a much more pretentious affair than I expected to find here, with ample accommodations for theatrical and operatic entertainments ot metropolitan character. The hospital Is an enormous building. adequately equipped. Three large prisons offer lnteK eating subjects to the travelers -who wish to specialize on the penal system or Si beria. Nearly 30 churches, of which the splendid new Troltsa Cathedral Is the greatest, minister to the spiritual ne;ds of the people ot Tomsk, and there aro said to be SO schools of all sorts in addition to the university. Business of Tomik. Business does not hold a smaller place because learning Is in evidence in this city. For years Tomsk has been one of the most active and prosperous commer cial points In Siberia. Historically It dates back to 1601, when Boris Godunof. the Muscovite ruler, ordered It built at the request of a Tartar Prince who had submitted to Mm. Then It became one of the centers from wMch the conquest of Siberia was completed. From the day when travel across Siberia by the great post roads began to follow an established route, Tomsk always has been a station of Importance on the line. With the plac ing of steamboats on the Siberian rivers its Importance multiplied. It -was the head of navigation for steamers from Tiumen, wMch carried thousands of Immi grants, exiles and travelers eastward each year. After the long voyage by the Tobol, the Irtish, the Obi and the Tom, passen gers were glad to reach Tomsk and. In terrupt their Journey for a rest. Then, In order to continue the trip It was neces ssry to obtain a vehicle and equipment tot the long drive to Krasnblarsk, Irkutsk or beyond. TMs was, therefore, before the railway came, the real starting point ot the great Siberian post road. Stimulated by this fact, an important Industry grew up In the manufacture of the thousands of tarantasses. telegas and other vehicles required for the traffic Commercially speaking, Tomsk was the most important point on the road across Asia and profited most from the traffic. Every traveler who began the Journey nad to provide some comforts and food to make the way easier, and Tomsk was the supply station for everything. Australian Oyster. The Journal of the Society of Arts says that Australian oysters are cheap and plentiful, being retailed In Sydney at from 6d to Is per plate or bottle. The con. sumption is enormous, and lasts through out the year. The whole of tho New South Wales Coast Is admirably adapted for oyster culture. Unlike the coasts of Great Britain and even America, where the temperature during tho summer months Is frequently sufficient to prevent tho shedding of spat, and. generally to limit Its quantity, the spat in New South Wales Is distributed in unlimited profus ion. Mr. Coghlon. the New South Wales Government Statistician, says the estab lishment of "pares" like those which may ba seen along the coasts of France and Belgium, where oyster culture Is con ducted on scientific principles, would be remunerative. It Is said that the equip ment for a Sydney Harbor picnic would be considered Incomplete without the means of detaching oysters from the rocks, on which they are found In my riads. 'Of course, with the coming of the rall- woy across Siberia there Is a great reduc tion In the demand for vehlctes for the long trip, but Tomsk had the trade so well established that most of the carriages of all sorts used between tne Ural Mountains and Lake Baikal ars made here, and I have seen cars on every freight train piled high with loads of wicker basket-woven beds ot telegas and other parts of the various wheeled conveyances used In the country. The city has suffered a great deal by being left off the main line of the railway, and It Is likely that other cities will outstrip this one'In the race for popu lation. But always It will be an import ant point, known for its commerce, as well as Its educational Institutions. The stores are by all means the best I have seen in Siberia. Grocers. dugglsts. dry goods merchants and others carry stocks of goods that would bo creditable In any country, and the stores nre attractive In appearance and the display of goods. It was a surprise to me to be able to buy films for my camera manufactured In Rochester. N. Y., and of the same fresh ness as those I bought In London on my way here. The same optician had cam eras for sale, too, but they were German imitations of American Instruments, much cheaper than the real ones, and by no means as good. River trade Just now Is less, because most ot that traffic has been taken by the railway. This condition is not expected to be permanent. As the country becomes more and more settled, it is certain that tho river steamers will find ample employ ment in carrying freight and passengers to the outlying settlements, which are not reached directly by the railway, but which will be created and stimulated by the opening of the line. Tomsk Is not on the Obi River, but on the Tom. which flows Into the Obi but a few miles below this city. The Tom, however, is a large stream, which carries large steamers with out difficulty, and the water front of the city even now offers a scene of picturesque activity. TRUMBULL WHITE. HILL IN A TRAIN WRECK. Excltlnir Experience of the Great Northern Magnate. BUTTE. Mont. April 10. President Hill, of the Great Northern, attended by a party of officials of his road, arrived In tho city today after an exciting experi ence. Early this morning his special train was ditched on the Northern Pacific track In Silver Bow canyon, about six miles west of Silver Bow Junction. The engine and baggage-car wero overturned, and. although the members of the party were badly shaken up. none were injured. The Northern Pacific sent out a special train, which brought the railroad magnate and his friends to the city. Mr. Hill and his party went East this afternoon. New steel is being laid In the canyon where tho accident occurred, and several rails had been torn up. Mr. Hill's train was traveling at a high rate of speed, and, al though flagged, the engineer could not stop Ms engine In time to prevent the ac cident. The Western Rate Conference. NEW YORK. April 10. Commissioner Farmer and the subcommittee appointed to confer with passenger agents of the Western roads submitted their report of the meeting wMch was held In Chicago nt a gathering of the passenger agents of the Trunk Line Association in this city today. The matters discussed at tho Western meeting dealt chiefly wlth im migrant traffic and reduced tho through rate3 to St. Paul. Commissioner Farmer, at the conclusion of today's meeting, said that no action had been taken as a result of the report. As to the difficulties with the Canadian Pacific road, nothing would be made public until certain conditions had been submitted to some of the Western roads. Central Pacific Directors. SAN- FRANCISCO, April 10. At the stockholders meeting of the Central Pa cific Railroad Company today the follow ing were elected a board of directors: W. F. Herrln, J. C. Stubbs, J. Kruttschnltt, R. P. Schweren, J. L. Wllcutt and J. M. Hanford. Hay Investigated Mncram's Chnrpre. WASHINGTON, April 10. United States Consul Hay, at Pretoria, has re sponded to the Inquiry addressed to him by the State Department respecting Con sul Macrum's charge that the official mall of the Consulate was tampered with. Mr. Hay reports that after a careful search he has failed to find in the files of the Consulate the slightest evidence to support the statement.
