In ample time to be taken into consideration with the
planning of the Spring costumes, the New La Vida
Corsets arrive. And, of course," to insure the highest
possible perfection in fit and style in the new frock,
a La Vida Corset is an essential. There is a particular
and precise La Vida Model for every possible build of
woman a variety greater than that afforded by any
other make sold in this country. The La Vida models
combine grace and beauty of line, perfectioa of fit and
and absolute ease and comfort. The new models are
fascinating in the wide choice of dainty materials they
offer. The straight-front is, of course, pre-eminent; the
curves of -the series at the sides and back are more
graceful than ever. Many of the styles are very-long
below the waist, as hips must be sloping.

Bad Accident at a Football
Ga'me at Glasgow.
THREE KILLED-MANY INJURED
Svrarm of Outsiders II realm DoVrn
Barriers and Is Driven by the Po
lice ' Upon a Flimsy
Terrace.
GLASGOW. April 5. The struggle of
the crovyds which gathered at Ibrox Park
today to witness the last International as
sociation football contest between teams
from England and Scotland caused the
'Collapse of a portion of the spectators'
terraces, resulting In the death of Ave
persons and the injury of 125 others.
"When the game began 70,000 spectators
were on the ground and an immense crowd
had gather outside. Being unable to ob
tain admittance, this crowd broke down
some of the barriers and ewarmed upon
the field, whereupon the police charged
and drove the intruders upon the terraces
and seats, with the result that the rail
ings dividing the crowds were broken and
the people were thrown over each other.
In the frantic struggle toward the exits
tho pressure toward the upper portion of
the westerly terrace was so great that 100
feet of the highest of the structure col
lapsed under the weight of the crowd
driven upon it, precipitating the mass of
people to the ground, 60 feet below. The
injured were piled in heaps, wedged in
with broken wood.
The onlookers hesitated to approach the
dangling structure at first, but finally
began to utilize portions of the broken
barriers as stretchers. A hundred of the
most seriously injured were carried to
the pavilion and to spaces in the rear of
the stands. A majority of the victims are
suffering from broken ribs and fractured
limbs, while some sustained internal In
juries. Those most severely hurt were
later removed In ambulances to infirm
aries, and the lesser sufferers were sent in
cabs to surgeries. Six of the injured are
not likely to recover. A few persons w,ere
trampled upon in trying to escape from
tho crush when the police charged, but
most of the victims sustained their in
juries in the fall of the terrace.
Up to midnight five deaths hod been re
ported as the result of the accident, while
In tho case of 20 of the other victims all
hope of recovery has been abandoned.
An Investigation into the causes of the
disaster shows that the break-down of the
structure had begun before it was sub
jected to its severest strain, and it is now
believed that the final collapse was
caused more directly by the efforts of
those nearest the first break than by the
additional weight of those who rushed
upon the stand from below. The terrace,
although supported by Iron girders,
swayed and cracked ominously under the
movements of its frantic occupants. The
fallen portion. IS 100 feet long,T0 feet wide
and contained 12 tiers of seats.
The injured in many cases were lying
five or six deep and it is considered mar
velous that there were not more fatalities.
One man hung by his boot, which caught
in a splintered beam, head downward, 50
feet above the ground. Finally his boot
was cut and the man. dropped Into a sheet
held below.
The strangest feature of the affair is
the fact that the crowd in the other parts
of the grounds failed entirely to realize
the extent of the disaster and the game
was played to a finish, resulting in a
draw. Even tho management appeared
to be unaware of the seriousness of the
accident until it was announced after the
conclusion of the game.
CECIL RHODES "WDLL.
The One Absorbing: Topic of Discus
sion at London.
LONDON, April 5. The war in South
Africa, politics and overy topic usually
of Interest were forgotten today in the
.absorbing discussion of Cecil Rhodes'
"wilL Regarding that extraordinary doc
ument, the Associated Press has ascer
tained some new facts.
The total of Mr. Rhodes' fortune is
likely to prove to be 5,000,000, or slightly
under that amount. The executors are
X.ord Rosebery, Earl Grey, Lord Milner,
Alfred Belt, Dr. Jameson, L. L. Micell
and B. A. Hawksley, to whom he be
queathed the residue of his estate. They
will divide about 1,000,000 or 1,500,000
among them. According to the terms of
this legacy, the amount is to be divided
during their lifetime, but as each legatee
dies his share goes to a common fund
until the surviving legatee becomes its
sole owner. Hence, one of the execu
tors, the majority of whom are already
enormously wealthy, will one day Inherit
what , will then have probably accumu
lated into nearly 2,000,000.
The executors, the Associated Press
learns, have unusually full powers, and
can construe and add to the will as
seems fit. Hence, the omission of Brit
ish Columbia, Nova Scotia and other
Canadian "provinces from tho list of
scholarships Is quite likely to be cor
rected and each province of Canada may
be put on the same footing as the Amer
ican states. t
One of Mr. Rhodes' most intimate asso
ciates said to a representative of the As
sociated Press:
"He drew up his will in the same spirit
in which ho approached all great under
takings. In his most important tasks he
merely 'sketched the outlines 'and left us
to fill in details. His trustees are given
power. - In the matter of the scholarships
Mr. Rhodes saw the scheme was so vast
that any attempt to lay down too rigidly
the lines might result in harm; so, be
yond endeavoring to meet the legal re
quirements, he tried to leave the fulfill
ment of his plans to those with whom,
during his lifetime, he had frequently
discussed them."
Regarding the American bequests, the
same authority said:
"In offering Americans and Germans in
ducements to go to Oxford. Mr. Rhodes
had a dual aim: First, putting the youth
of England in intimate touch with what
he termed the two most progressive na
tions of tho world, so that they might be
broadened and spurred to more strenuous
efforts; secondly, bringing the best speci
mens of Americans and Germans on such
terms with the English people and cus
toms that they might become mission
aries of a better international under
standing." When the trustees can meet and all
the preliminary details are settled, a re
quest will be made to several prominent
Americans to form a committee to act
in conjunction with the English body and
assume certain responsibilities for which
the executors are palpably unfitted, both
by absence from the "United States and
ignorance of its customs.
Receives a Legacy From Rhodes.
NEW YORK. April 5. George Rhodes,
a Lakewood, N. J., Janitor, has received a
dispatch from his son at Philadelphia,
savin? Ccll Rhodes left him a legacy of
550,000. The old man was almost over
come by the news, but left at once for
Philadelphia, and said he expected to sail
immediately for Europe to claim his for
tune. Among his fellows at Lakewood,
Rhodes' relationship to the "Empire
Builder" of South Africa was unknown
until the dispatch arrived. Then he told
his story, according to which he is first
cousin of Cecil Rhodes.
"Cecil," he said, "was going to Eton
when I came to America. I went to Can
ada and later to Buffalo. From the latter
city I moved to Philadelphia, but a few
years ago failed in the grocery business
and was compelled to earn a living by
doing Janitor work.
"Rhodes and myself never got along
very well together, as our families had al
ways disagreed over religious matters. I
wrote him in 1S96 and told him that I
was not doing -well and would like to go
to South Africa. IHe Scntine a curt-rfote
saying thero were enough Rhodeses In
South Africa, and refused to help me."
Valne of the Bequests.
NEW YORK, April 5. Asked for an
opinion as to the possibilities of the great
educational wqrk to be accomplished un
der the will of Cecil Rhodes, President
Butler, of Columbia University said: "Tho
value of Mr. Rhodes striking bequest will
depend largely upon its conditions and

HART'S RIVER BATTLE.
Heavy Losses Are Reported oh. Beth
Sides.
PRETORIA, April 5. The British losses
In the engagement in the neighborhood of
Hart's Jtlver,' in the southwestern ex
tremity of the Transvaal, March 31, were
three officers and 24 men killed and 16
officers and 131 men wounded. The Boers,
admit that they lost 137 men killed or
wounded.
The action occurred at Doornbalt Farm,
a few miles south of the scene of General
Delarey's defeat of General Methuen.
The Boers, who were commanded by Gen
erals Kemp and Potgieter, attacked with
great determination, but the Canadian
contingent, which was the last to arrive
in South Africa from Canada, and two
squadrons of Yeomanry, under Colonel
Cookson, and the artillery and mounted
rifles under Colonel Kler, presented such
a strong front that the burghers "were
finally forced to retreat.
The casualty list shows that the Second
Canadian Mounted Rifles had four officers
wounded, nine men killed and 40 men
wounded.
Unstinted Praise for Canadians.
LONDON, April 5. The , gallantry of
the Canadian troops at the engagement
with the Boers near Hart's River at
tracts unstinted praise from the British
press. These comments form a striking
contrast to the recently printed notifi
cation that the attention of Lord Rob
erts, the Commander-in-Chief, had been
drawn to various cases where colonials
who had been awarded commissions were
treated as inrerlors by the regular of
ficers and x otherwise made to feel that
they were only members of the mess,
by suffrance. Lord Roberts. It was semi
officially announced, was making an in
vestigation and Intended to Inflict the
most serious penalties on any British
officers found guilty of such conduct.
Privately and in letters to the press,
many colonial officers have frequently
complained that "they are good enough
at the front, but are not wanted at a
Cape-Town hotel or in a London drawing-room."

Palace here, demanding the release of Al

A freight train on the Portland City &
Oregon trolley line yesterdav morning ran
Into the incoming Southern Pacific pas
senger train from California at the inter
section of Hawthorne avenue and East
First street. The Plntsch gas tank under
ELECTRIC GAB, CRASHED INTO THE CALIFORNIA EXPRESS MAUj CAR.
the mall car of the passenger train was
burst and the gas took fire and made a
lively blaze for a few minutes. Tho out
side of the car was slightly charred but
the flame was extinguished? befora-fur--ther
daraagesWas done. ThG trolley-car
was torn 'from, the trucks at one end.
Nobody was injured. The passenger train
was delayed about 20 minutes.
The trolley train consisted of the motor
car and a flat car. It came down the in
cline on Hawthorne avenue at the cus
tomary rate of speed, but the rails were
wet and slippery and the motorman did
not apply the air brakes in time to stop
boforo crossing tho Southern Pacific
track. The speed had been so much
checked, however, that the Impact was
not great enough to cause a bad smash
up. The engineer of the passenger train
saw that a collision was imminent, and
had hl3 train nearly stopped when the
other car struck. The trolley car struck
the gas tank squarely and punctured it,
and the mail car scraped along the front
of tho trolley car 30 feet before the train
came to a standstill. When the flame
hurst forth some one turned In an alarm
and chemical engine No. 2 extinguished
the fire in a few minutes.
Motorman Gus Reinke, an experienced
hand, had chargo of the assaulting trol
ley train. He says the brakes worked all
right, but that the car slid along In spito
of them. Superintendent Tiffany is in
clined to think, that the motorman did not
apply the brakes as soon as he ought.
"One result of thi3 accident," said Mr.
Tiffany, "trifling as it proved to be, will
be a derailing switch at the foot of that
Hawthorne-avenue grade. We will, put
one in immediately, and then if rails get
slippery, or for any other reason cars
fall to stop before crossing tho Southern
Pacific track, they will simply run off our
track to the side of tho street."
THE DANISH TREATY.
Landsthln&r Continues the Debate
Without Result.
COPENHAGEN, April 5. The Lands
thing, or upper House, in secret session
today continued the discussion of the
Danish West Indian Islands treaty for
three hours with no result. The debate
was heated, and much excitement pre
vailed among the members. It Is hoped
that the meeting of the Landsthlng Mon
day will enable the House to report Its
conclusions.
A meeting of the members of the oppo
sition in the Landsthlng was held tonight
and an exciting debate occurred. A ma
jority of those present decjared them
selves In favor of the sate of the islands,
but demanded that a plebiscite be taken.
The opposition press is engaged in a
violent agitation against the government.
The National Tldenge today announces
that the right party of the Landsthlng Is
now in favor of the cession of the islands
to the United States, if tho consent of
the inhabitants of the islands Is obtained.
King Opposes the Sale.
NEW YORK. April 5. Kins Christian
opposed the transfer of the Danish An
tilles to the United States, also Crown
Prince Frederick and his son, Prince
Christian, says a Copenhagen dispatch to
the Herald. The entire royal family
shrink from the bare Idea of the cession.
But the only person who really counts
and has direct influence is the King. The
monarch has ever subordinated his pri
vate desires and sentiments to the policy
or the interests of his country. In the
present case he has acted as he has al
ways done. His feelings are repugnant
to the sale, but patriotism, the calls of a
politico-economic convenience, and the
overwhelming vote of the Folkthlng have
caused the King to side with the people.
In spite of his personal sentiments and
those of his entire family, he is for the
sale and has given bis approval.
Dr. Deuntzer, Minister of Foreign Af
fairs, considers that the Upper Houae
scarcely will dare to wipe out the enor
mous majority of the Lower House.
Abyssinia's Emissary.
ADEN, Arabia, April 5. King Menellk
of Abyssinia has appointed Ras Makon
nen, the famous Abyssinian General, to
attend King Edward's coronation.
Ras Makonnen, who defeated the Italian
troops under General Baraterl, in March,
1S96, at the battle of Adowa, Abyssinia,
when some 5000 to 10,000 of Barateri's sol
diers and camp followers were reported
to have been killed, is a cousin of King
Menellk, and Is the principal General and
confidential representative of His Maj
esty. He is remarkable In character, in
physique, and In the possession of a qual
ity of courtesy- which justifies his rank.
A COMPLICATED SYSTEM.
Weights and Measures in Use In the
Philippines.
WASHINGTON, April 5. The di
vision of insular affairs of the "War
Department has prepared a state
ment giving an account of the weights
and measures In use in the Philippines.
The extension of commercial Intercourse
between the United States and the is
lands, the statement says. Is attended
with great Inconvenience and expense,
growing out of the complicated system
of weights and measures in vogue in the
archipelago. As compared with the
United States denominations and values
they are difficult to acquire, and still
more so to execute, either In transactions
or accounts.
So far as recorded history goes, China
has ruled the commercial transactions of
the Oriental world. That empire gave its
measure of value, it Is unknown how
long, but for nearly four centuries since
ttbe Islanda-had been ruled- from the
West; and'thevsama to the other archi
pelagoes to the south and to India. The
haikwnn, or custom-house tael, is the
standard weight and value recognized in
the custom-houses of the 13 treaty ports
(each of which has also its own tael). In
transactions, and Is also used among the
Chinese and other Eastern traders and
merchants In their commercial dealings
in the Philippines.
The statement gives in detail the vari
ous measures used in the islands, and
concludes by noting the fact that in "the
pending legislation In Congress the metric
system is proposed as the standard for
transactions of commerce and account.
THEY SUE FOR $700,000.
New York Company Alleges Spanish
War Injured It in That Sum.
WASHINGTON, April 5. Papers were
filed today before the Spanish Treaty
Claims Commission on behalf of the Span
ish American Abattoir Company, by Bly
mer, Hobbs & Clark, of New York, against
the United States, to recover $700,000 on ac
count of the franchises granted by the
Spanish authorities to the company, giv
ing them the exclusive right to engage in
the stockyards and packing-house indus
try at Havana, Clenfuegos and Santiago,
Cuba, The papers stae that the franchise
was granted the Spanish-American Com
pany in competition with Armour &
Co. At the time of the Insurrection
it Is sot forth, all operations were sus
pended, since which time It Is claimed
that the grant has been of no value.
The right of action In this suit, it is
claimed, comes outside the opinion of the
Attorney-General on franchises granted
by the Spanish authorities, the works
contemplated "not being In operation or
having ever been operated," which, it is
alleged, puts the claim within the terms
of the treaty of Paris.
Combination of Blind Men.
TOLEDO, O., April 5. A unique com
bination has been formed by the blind
men of this city, 'numbering 15. Their
object is to obtain $100, which every needy
blind man is entitled to by act of the
Legislature, from the County Commis
sioners. Attorneys have been employed
by the combination to lay the matter be
fore the City Council, and If necessary
take It Into the courts. The $100 has
never been paid, and the Individual efforts
of the blind men have proved Ineffectual,
hence the polling of their issues.
Under the act the trustees of every
township are required to certify to the
County Commissioners the number of
blind men in the township in need of as
sistance. The Commissioners are then re
quired to make a levy to meet the obliga
tions. Indiana Suffering; From Famine.
PHOENIX, Ariz. April 5. Twenty thou
sand Indians on the Sacaton reservation
are suffering from famine, which, if al
lowed to continue is certain to result in
fearful mortality among the Pimas and
Maricopas. Agent Hadley is here to secure
temporary relief for the Indians and to
urge that petitions be sent to Congress
asking the Washington authorities to pro
vide means to avert the disaster which,
he says, la sure to come unless the Indians
are given water or supplies.
White ranchers above the reservation
have diverted all the water and the In
dians have had none for many months.
They are abandoning their ranches and
their cattle are dying by scores for lack
of feed. Relief has been sent from here,
and the desired petitions are going for
ward to Washington.
Roosevelt Invited.
DENVER, April 5. President Roosevelt
"has been Invited to address the great tri
ennial Sunday School Congress to be held
in Denver on June 1 next. At a banquet of
the ministers of the city, a telegram from
W. N. Hartshorn, of Boston, chairman of
the committee on arrangements of the con
vention, was read, saying that efforts were
being put forth to persuade the President
to accept the Invitation, and the outlook
was encouraging.
NOT FOR SENATE
Governor McBridels Content
to Be Governor.
HE WJLL NOT BE FORCED OUT
Railroads Arc Snid to Desire to Drive
II I iu to an- Exchange ot Office
So as to Get Rid of
Him.
OLYMPIA, April 5. A new and inter
esting feature has been injected Into
Washington state politics by reason of
Governor McBrlde's attitude on railway
matters and the determined effort he has
Inaugurated to prevent the merger of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific Rail
way Companies. At present It would ap
pear that the railway companies are
alarmed, evidently fearing the triumph
of the Governor in his efforts to place the
Republican party on record as favoring- a
railway commission In this state to regu
late rates. The latest development at
present charged to railroad inspiration Is
a leport that the railway companies have
determined to force Governor McBride out
of the executive chair and into the United
States Senate to get rid of him.
While it Is well known that the Gov
ernor has himself a first choice for United
Statei Senator in the person of State
Senator Preston, of King County, it is
also known to the railway people that
Secretary of State Nichols, who would
succeed as Governor in the event of Gov
ernor McBrlde's going to the United
States Senate, is decidedly opposed to the
railroad commission. He is the only mem
ber of the present administration who op
poses the Governor. Mr. Nichols is also
a warm friend of ex-Senator Wilson, who
controls the leading Republican paper of
the state, which In turn Is generally con
sidered to be Great Northern property.
The report is accompanied by the state
ment that while the railroads would much
prefer to have a pro-railroad man in the
United States Senate, they would rather
see McBride In the upper house of Con
gress Just at this time than In the exec
utive chair of Washington with a Legis
lative session In sight. The report became
public about 10 days ago, but yesterday It.
seemed to have taken considerable life
and is quite prevalent here.
It Is not really surprising that such a
proposition should be sprung or In fact
that anything should be resorted to by
the opponents of the Governor. About
every other effort Imaginable has been
resorted to by the opposition to cloud the
Governor's campaign, and none of them
has thus far resulted In even a fair degree
of success. The story of getting McBride
out of the way evidently originated at
Tacoma, as there is where it has been
most talked of and whence the rumors
continue to emanate. It Is hardly prob
able that If the railroad people contem
plated any such Action at the next Legis
lative sessIbn"tEey woulajive publicity to
It at this eariy stage, and It Is therefore
apparent that the story has been started
for the purpose of disorganizing the Gov
ernor's campaign by casting doubt upon
his motives, and Intimating that he would
accept the Senatorship under the circum
stances. Another fact in connection with
the story is somewhat significant. Read
ing Democrats, some of them decidedly
close to Senator Turner, are greatly
pleased with the circulation of the rumor.
Governor McBride will not allow the story
to deter him, nor is he of the caliber to
succumb to a prospect of succeeding
George Turner in the United States Sen
ate. It is safe to say that he will allow
nothing to divert him from his purpose
of fighting the railroad boldly.
BETTER OAR SERVICE.
New Time Table Will Have More
Trips and Through Cars.
VANCOUVER, Wash., April 5. Man
ager F. I. Fuller, of the Portland Street
Railway Company, said today that his
company is arranging a new time schedule
for the Portland-Vancouver division. The
new time table is Intended to give one
or more trips, and will give through cars
at certain hours. This will avoid over
crowding by passengers who get on and
off at intermediate stations.
The company also contemplates the erec
tion of a waiting-room on the ferry slip
on the Oregon side of the Columbia, and
possibly one on the Vancouver side. Tho
Improvements named are among those
asked for In a petition to be circulated by
the Vancouver Commercial Club.
Suit Against Hidden Estate.
An action was commenced in the Su
perior Court today In which L. M. Hidden
asks Judgment against the estate of tho
late E. L. Canby, cashier of the suspended
First National Bank to satisfy a claim of
$5544. The defendants in the suit are
Frances P. Canby, widow of E. I. Canby,
and C. D: Bowles," as administrators of
the Canby estate. It Is alleged that the
fine Canby dwelling-house property Ih
this city was originally mortgaged to the
plaintiff to secure a loan in ,the amount
stated, but that later Canby was allowed
to transfer this property to the bank.
NO LICENSE REQUIRED.
Decision Which May Be In Favor of
Osteopaths and Others.
OLYMPIA, Wash., April 5. It Is un
derstood that Assistant Attorney-General
Ross will give an opinion on the state
medical law that will give osteopaths,
magnetic healers and Christian Scientists
the right to practice without a license in
this stat;e, except that. If they advertise
as doctors, physicians or surgeons, they
may be prosecuted. Should tnis opinion
