Tea Killed and Twenty-Seven Mora Badly
Injured on the Southern Pacific.
Byron, Cat., Dec. 23. Ten persons
were killed and 27 injured in a col
lision laat night between the south
bound Lo Angele "owl" train and
the Stockton flyer. It waa a rear-end
collision, the engine of the local
plowing It way through the last
coach on the owl, which was filled
with Fresno people. The passengers
who escaped Instant death were burl
ed to the fore part of the coach,
crushed between the mass of debris,
their suffering and danger intensi
fied a hundredfold by the clouds of
scalding ateam poured out on them
rem the 'shattered boiler of the
Stockton engine.
The "owl" left tn Oakland Mole
about 5 o'clock, and on the way to
this point It was noted that there was
a leak In the flue ot the engine. This
Increased to such an extent that It
was deemed advisable to stop here
and take up a freight engine for re
lief. The train officials knew that
No. 81, the Stockton local, was fol
lowing a half hour behind and a flag
man was sent back down the track to
give warning of the presence of the
owl." It Is said that the Stockton
train In charge of Engineer MaGuire
and Fireman Joyce, got tbe warning
signal in due time and gave the us
ual response with whistle blasts.
Why the Incoming train was not
checked, however, ha not been thus
far explained, the men who could give
the facta being numbered among the
badly Injured.

Ban Francisco, Dec. 25. -The latest
revised list of the victim of the rail

there are 25 dead.
There are still 20 injured survivors
of the accident, but the condition of
fonr ol these is extremely critical, and
additional names may yet have to be
added to the death lint.
An. official investigation into the
cause of the disaster bss been begun by
Coroner Curry , of Conttacosta county,
who proposes to thoroughly sift tbe
evidence in order to fix the reeponsi
bility. There appears to be no doubt
that the Stockton flyer, which ran into
the Owl train, wa signalled and that
the engineer responded with a whistle
and threw on the brake. The question
which remains open is whether or not
the signal waa given, in time to avert

Senator Morgan Says Title to Panama
Route la Insecure.
Washington, Dec 23. There were
20 senator In their seats when the
Senate waa called to order for th
final session before the Christmas
holidays. They heard a vigorous ad
dress by Morgan on the Isthmian
canal negotiations.
Morgan contended for the making
good of contracts entered Into by
President McKinley with Costa Rica
and Nicaragua. The negotiation of
these agreements he characterlxed as
a masterful act. and said they were
about to be trodden under foot. Why
this was true was not a question tor
a Democrat to aolve, but he could, at
any rate, say he did not agree with
the mind-reader and spirit medium"
who had since declared that Mr. Mc
Kinley did not mean what he said In
the contracts.
He then went on to express appre
hension that if the United States did
not avail Itself of the opportunity to
build a canal by the Nicaraguan
route, none would be built, and he
said the appropriation of $180,000,000
for the construction of the canal could
be covered Into the Treasury about
June 28, 1904, if not used before that
time.
Attention wag called to the fact
that under the Colombian law, only
the Congress of that country can rat
ify a treaty. There had been no Con
gress there since 1899, and there was
not likely to be any unless the Pana
ma Cansj Company should pay its ex
penses out of the $3,000,000 on hand
or the $40,000,000 promised by the
United States. He therefore ex
pressed apprehension that a treaty
that might be accepted by this gov
ernment would tall of action in Co
lombia.
After quoting from the concession
granted to the liquidations of the old
Panama Canal Company, which Mr.
Morgan said wag also made a law ot
Colombia, he said:
"It Is a surprise to JurlBta and lay
men alike in our country that the At
torney General, in his opinion given
to the President on the right and
power of the new Panama Canal
Company to revoke a title to the
United States of its property in Pan
ama, omitted to notice the prohibi
tion tn the concessions and tn the
laws ot Colombia, through which
derived all Kg property rights in Co
lombia."

-To Create Qame Preserve.
Washington, Dec. 24. Senator Per
ktns. of California, today introduced
a bill authorising the President to set
tslde areas within forest reserves to
e preserved as breeding places for
-- rwild animals, birds and fish. Within
these areas all bunting, nsning ana
killing of game la to be prohibited at
all times. The Senator has drawn his
bill along lines recommended by the
Presldeat. and with a further view
largely to doing away with state pro
tection ot game within reserves,
Think That Th Hague Tribunal Is the
Proper Court to Deckle th Matter -Should
Allies Insist, He May Accept,
Althoagh He Realize tbe Difficulties
of the Undertaking.
Washington, Dec. 24. President
Roosevelt ha not accepted the -position
of arbitrator of th Venezuelan con
troversy. In fact, when the official
day closed be bad not received formal-
or officially a request from tbe Euro
pean power that b act a arbitrator
of tbe dispute. These 'statemenU
were made on the highest authority.' .
In an informal manner the oresident
ba been notified tliat tbe European
power intimately concerned in the
present Sooth American difficulty de
sire that be should undertake the ye
sponsibilty of acting as arbitrator of the
point at issue between them and Vene
xuela. Thu far thev merelr Lara
been "taking soundings." with a view.
probably, of ascertaining bow he would
receive a formal proffer to act as arbi
trator. Tho president, as aoon a -be
received the first Intimation that be
wa desired to be arbitrator oi the Ven
ezuelan controversy, expressed emphat
ically nit judgment that tbe matters to
be arbitrated should be referred to 'The
Hague tribunal. His views of tbe sug
gestions made have been conveyed -tc
we jcuropean powers, together with a
trong presentation of hi reasons lor
the view be bold. No response of a
forma! nature to these representations
na Deen lecoived. :
The president and Secretary Hav faaal
long conference today after the- for
mer a return from hi Virginia trip. !
They carefully went over tbe sit'iatiou
as it bad developed since Saturday, but
is understood that nothing bas arisen
during tbe past 8 hours to warrant the
president in changing his opinion as to
the undesirability of his acceptance ol
the position of arbitrator, tso far a
can be learned, no specific reasons bave
been advanced by the European powers
for objecting to the arbitration of The
Hague tribunal. It is held by the ad
ministration that tbe tribunal at The
Hague was constituted to arbitral Imt
such controversies as that which Cae
arisen between Venezuela and the
powers, and that it would be desirable
lrom this viewpoint that the dispute
should go to -that- tribunal forWiudi-
cation. , ,
How strong are the objections which
the allied powers Lave to a reference ol.
tbe Venezuelan difficulty to The Hague
tribunal is not known to the adminis
tration at this time. Even the nature
of the objections, if there be anv. i
not known, the negotiations looking
to the selection of an arbitrator have
not progressed sufficiently yet to de
velop such objection as the powers
may nave.
PVRE FOOD BILL.
DIAMONDS FOUND IN OREGON.
Big New York Firm Developing Mine tn
Harney County.
Born, Or., Dec. 25 The fulfill
merit of the prophecy made 30 years
ago by Professor Clayton, a geologist in
the employ of the United State gov
ernment, that some day diamond mines
would be discovered in Oregon, is at
hand.
The mine is in the Blue mountain
range, 40 miles from Burns, .tbe Beat
of Harney county. There is no ques
tion of the quality and quantity of the
precious gems, but there is a question
as to their commercial value. The
stones thus far discovered are generally
too (man lor the trade. They sie no
larger than a small pinhead. A few
have been discovered that would sell
for from $30 to $300, but they are rare.
v ere diamonds malleable like gold,
If there was any process known to sci
ence by which the miniature stones
could be welded together, tbeu Harney
would no longer be known as tbe ''cow
county," and Oregon would rank with
the diamond producing regions ot the
earth.
The commercial value of the dia
monds is now being determined by the
great diamond firm of New York
finany & Company, whose confidence
in the new field is sufficient to warrant
them in furnishing the capital for fur
ther development. They are co-operat
lng with toe local owners.
The diamonds are found in layers of
volcanic ash. Geologists and mineral
ogists agree that the formation being
the volcanic ash of ancient origin
the same as that indigenous to South
Africa, where the largest diamonds in
the world have been exploited. Thi
is the formation that Professor Clayton
reierrea to wnen ooservmg the geoiog
ical conditions of Oregon in his offlical
capacity, 30 years ago. .It is said to
be next to the oldest formation found
on the North American continent, only
that through which the St. Lawrence
river runs being older. , The layers
thu far mined yield only extremely
mall stones, but it is expected and
hoped that other layers will be dis
covered that bear the precious gems of
commercial importance.
