at Bridal Veil. Had It not been for the
presence of mind of Silas Smith, brake
man on the Chicago-Portland Express,
who pulled the emergency cord when he
realized the train was beyond the control
of the engineer and was running away,
thus setting the brakes, the collision
would have been one of the worst In the
history of Western railroading.
Delayed by Jts Engine.
Train No. 3 had stopped at. Bridal Veil
station, and was delayed there by-its en
gine, which was out of order. The rear
car of the train, the Pullman sleeper from
Walla Walla, picked up by the Spokane
train at Wallula Junction, was, standing
opposite the depot. Flagmen had been
sent back 15 telegraph poles, or the re
quired distance of about 2000 feet, to flag
No. 5, which was. following, and torpedoes
were also placed on the track. When
about fdur miles cast of Bridal Veil, the
locomotive hauling the Chicago-Portland
Express got out of order and became un
manageable.
Injector Pipe Breaks.
The Injector -pipe "broke inside the cab
of engine 193, letting out a flood of steam
and driving the engineer and the fire
man out of the can. Engineer Swain
reached for the .throttle, .to. stop, the en
gine, but could not reach It: In a mo
ment he heard the torpedoes on the
track and realized the . Spokane. Flyer
was ahead on the main track and rushed
back into the cloud of burning steam that
filled the cab in the effort -to stop the
flying train. He- groped about- for the
levers he could not see, fearing even to
breathe in the deadly atmosphere, suf
fering tortures to his scorched hands and
face, and. Anally baffled, was compelled
to retreat to the engine tender. Both he
and the fireman then leaped 'to the cbn
ncctions between the tender and the mall

break the connection, thus applying the
brakes, but Engineer Swain's hands were

ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Peb. 6. At the request of Senators
Ankcny and Piles and Representative
Humphrey. President Roosevelt today or
dered that a searching investigation be
madeanto the 'disaster to the steamship
Valencia. This Investigation will be inde
pendent of that now being conducted by
inspectors of the steamboat Inspection ser
vice. The request of the three members of the
Washington delegation was made at the
instance of tho people of Washington
State. They informed the President that
ihe people of their state are highly
wrought up over this affair and unhesi
tatingly express the opinion that an In
vestigation by two steamboat inspectors
will never bring out the facts or result In
the punishment of those .guilty of neglect
or cowardice. What they want and de
mand" Is a -commission composed of big,
broad-gauge men who would not be. sus
ceptible to local influence, and who would
luivc the ability to get at facts which
might be concealed from the two Inspect
ors. President Acts Promptly.
The President took up the matter imme
diately with Secretary Mctcalf. and It was
at first Intended that the board which In
vestigated tho cause of the Slocura disas
ter should make the inquiry into that of
the Valencia. That was found Imprac
ticable. Mr. Mctcalf then announced that
the commission would consist of Assist
ant Secretary Lawrence O. Murray, of the
Department of Commerce and Labor; Her
bert Knox Smith, Assistant. Deputy Com
missioner of Corporations, both of whom
were, members of the SJocum board, and
Captain William T. Burwcll, commandant
Inqalry Thorough and Rigid.
The Department of Commerce and La
Tor expects them to make the thorough
and rirtd Investigation . desired by the
President.
United States District Attorney Fryc.
lias been directed to assist the commis
sion. Thus the commission will be able
to summon witnesses and secure neces
sary testimony. The commission will have
a wider scope than the local board now
making an investigation. The latter, how
ever, will prosecute Its Inquiry to a con
clusion and report to Washington.
Root A so Gets Busy.
Secretary Root has takon up with the
Canadian authorities the question of es
tablishing and maintaining suitable light
houses on the Vancouver coast, with a
view to preventing further serious acci
dents, to vessels navigating In those wat
ers. Representative Jones today Introduced a
bill authorizing the construction of a Gov
ernment telephone line from Cape Flat
tery to the Hfesavlng station at Gray's
Harbor, and will press this bill In bonnec
,tlon with the bill establishing a Hfesavlng

, , WASHINGTON, Feb. $. SpeciaI.)-It is
at Jast: admitted that the Chinese situa
tion is causing the gravest apprehension
to tho State Department. Under the in
structions sent to the Legation at Pckin
and the Consular officers and agents
throughout China, reports by cable' and
mall arp ppurlng into the. department de
picting" the development of . the antt-for-clgn
feeling among the merchants and la
boring classes of nearly the whole of
Eastern China.
The extremities to which the Consular
ofDccrs have been reduced may be ap
preciated by a recent dispatch from one
of the northern seaports sent by a Vlcc
CoiisuL He Inclosed an edict by the local
merchants' Chamber of Commerce, or
dering the total suspension of trade in
American goods.
Consul's Peremptory Demand-
To the Viceroy of the province the Vlce-
Consul sent a peremptory letter calling
his attention to the edict, and Informing
him that It was his duty under the im
perial edict Issued at Pekin August ,
denouncing the boycott, to suppress the
propaganda, and warning him that the
United States Government would insist
upon his obedience to the imperial edict.
The significance of this attitude by the
Vice-Consul toward the Viceroy Is that
the State Department fully Indorses the
peremptory steps now bclne cmploj'ed
towards Chinese officials to stem the ris
ing tide of anti-foreign feeling In China.
Prepared for Violence.
The awakening In China is believed In
the State Department to have actually ar
rived. It iiJ also believed to have taken
the form of the most violent hatred .of
-foreigners, pcrtlcnlarly Americans. A
multiplicity of cases In addition to the
exclusion laws In this country Ig assigned
for the movement. From the undercur
rent of .opinion at .the State Department.
It seems to be the belief of certain high
officials that an outbreak of violence may
develop in the not distant future.
In the course of three months this Gov
crnmcnt will have two additional regi
ments of Infantry and six field batteries
Installed In the Philippines ready for Im
mediate field service- In China.
WHOLE EMPIRE IX FERMENT
Bojcotters Demand Repeal of Ex
clusion and Turn Against Whites.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 6. Reports con
tlnue to nour into the Department of
State from diplomatic and consular
agents in China regarding the rapia
Increase of feeling against Amorlcans
and things American as expressed in
edicts issued by local authorities In
various parts of the empire. For six
months the situation In China has been
tho subject of very genuine concern
to the department, and Mr. Rlckhlll
thA American Minister at Pekin, Is un
dcr" Instructions to keep Washington
thoroughly and frequently informed of
thi. situation. He is also exerting him
self at the Chinese capital In' an effort
to check or allay the anti-foreign feel
Ing that appears to be growing. While
not admitting that the situation is one
VEIL

MENACING
of danger, the officials here would not
be at all surprised at any developments
that a month may bring forth.
Although at the outset demanding
only a return to the provisions of the
original exclusion treaty of 1SS0, which
excluded from this country Chinese
laborers without specifying the class
es of Chinamen which should be ad
mitted. In some provinces manifestos
have been issued declaring that, if the
boycott is rigidly adhered to, Ameri
cans will be forced to forgo any ex
clusion at all. Such, expressions have
been immediately denied by Mr. Rock
hill at Pekin.
Although directed primarily against
Americans, the feeling of ill-will that
seems to be growing in various parts
of the Empire is interpreted by Ori
entalists to have a far deeper mean
ing. In a word, it Is declared to be
anti-foreign and there are indications
that all foreigners, with the possible
exception of Japanese, will soon be as
keenly affected as are Americans.
Other Nations Consult.
Informal representations regarding
the Chinese situation already have been
exchunged between some of the Euro
peanpowers, but thus far this country
has not called foreign nations into con
sultation because there Is a very gen
eral feeling among the European pow
ers that the Chinese are unjustly dls-.
criminated against by the Americans.
So long as the antl-forejgn feeling
I3 confined to the Americans, the Eu
ropeans arc expected to bide their
time.
The dispatch from Pekin published
yesterday regarding the activity of
Russia in Mongolia has been taken note
of by the officials here.

of Victoria. Hongkong, in an interview
today on the situation In China, ex
pressed the view that the outlook was
more serious In the south, at any rate.
than before the Boxer rising. He added:
The persistent American boycott la stirring
up much trouble and there Is danger that
the Chinese mar extend the boycotting prin
ciple. Inevitably leading to a general antl-
forelgn feeling among the more Ignorant
classes. The attack on Dr. Andrew Seattle
(the American Presbyterian missionary at
Fall, whose residence was looted on Febru
ary 2) was particularly daring, as It oc
curred Just across the river from the Amer
ican settlement and was within a few yards
-of European gunboats. It Is also significant
that such, a pro-foreign official as VIceroy
Shi Kal should have discharged Professor
C. D. Tcnney (an American and director of
education, who organized the new school sjs
ttfm In Pc Chi LI province).
The spread of, the boycott will be more
difficult to contend with than the Boxer
..movement. As the exclusion of the CbJccsa
from, the united States ana FMUppinc is
lands caused the boycott or American goods,
their exclusion from Australia and Canada
will cause a feeling against Great Britain.

CHICAGO, Feb. 6. The unique spectacle
was presented in the. beefpackers trial
today of the Attorney-General of the
Ulnted States denying the accuracy of an
official statement made by tho President.
Mr. Moody was called upon by John S.
Miller, attorney for Armour & Co.. to ad
mit the authenticity of a copy of tho let
ter of Mr. Roosevelt on the subject of tho
beef-trust inquiry. He did so, but added
that the President's statement that the
Departments of Justice and of Commerce
and Labor were working together in the
matter was incorrect. This assertion
caused much excitement among tho attor
neys for the packers, and they objected to
it as improper before the Jury. The letter
was not offered In evidence, but was
marked for identification.
Not Actings In XFnisou.
The Attorney-General declared that he-
would admit the authenticity of the letter.
subject to Its. verification by J. A. Kratz,
his private secretary. The letter as pro
duced in court by tho attorneys for tho
packers was a copy of the original docu
ment as it appeared in a published ac
count of the proceedings in the United
States Senate. The Attorney-General read
the letter and then rose to his fet.
If it please the court, he said. T feel
it my duty upon reading this letter to say
in regard to this sentence which it con
tains, 'With my permission, the Depart
ment of Justice and the Department of
Commerce and Labor. is not correct."
Packers Lawyers Staggered.
All the lawyers rose to their feet at the
words of the Attorney-General, several of
themadar,esslng the court excitedly,
v I would like to finish," said the Attorney-General.
"I understand that the Attorney-General
merely assented to the authenticity of
the document," said Judge Humphrey.
Mr. Miller did not Introduce the docu
ment In evidence, but had It marked for
identification.
The cross-examination of C. M. McFar
lane was then resumed by District At
torney Morrison. The questioning was
directed toward the subsidiary companies
which. It Is claimed by the Government.
were the medium through which tho con
trol of prices on all by-products was ef
fected. The witness and the Government
agents examined the books of the Aetna
Trading Company and the Kenwood Com
pany, but he said that he knew very little
about the operations of the subsidiary
companies.
The afternoon session was taken up by
the reading of the Garfield report on the
packing industry.
