HILL WINS FIGHT. Road Down North Bank of Columbia Given Right of Way. Vancouver. July fl. IIlll won over Harrlman yesterday when Judge W. W. McOredle, of the Supeilor court of Washington, decided that tho Portland & Seattle railway had the right to con demn across the property of the Colum bia valley railroad along the north bank of the Columbia river. Tha de- clslon la a sweeping one. and carries with it the settlement of an Important question in the struggle between the two roads.' Both have fought for the narrow strip alontr tho river's edca Whereon a railway can be built. Both have been at work building grades pre paratory to laying rails. Both claimed certain points of conflict, the Columbia Valley by deed from the former owners. and the Portland & Saattleby virtue of condemnation suits across the property of tho rival corporation. By a decis ion allowing tins right, II sustained by the higher courts of Washington, ap parently no barrier can be raised in tho path of Hill that will provent him from following his survoys down tho Wash ington shoro of tho river. Tho decision announces that in caso tho Columbia Valley desires to build a railroad down tho north bank, tho court will extend the road full protec tion by allowing it to build r. roadbed and track over the right of way parallel with the l'ortl-nd & Seattlo track as surveyed, without compelling tho Har rlman road to rccondemn, providing tho Columbia Valley determines to build and does build within a reasona ble time. If tho opposing road to the Hill lino fails to build, then the Port land & Seattle is to have the full right of way for its own purposes. CANAL BOND SALE.

WRECK INJNGLAND Fast Express Train Jumps Track With Fatal Results, A CHIMNEY-LIKE 8KY-8CRAPER, RECOVER TWENTY-SEVEN BODIES Nearly All Were Americans Who Had dust Arrived on Steamer From New York. Salisbury, England, July 3. Driving at a mad pace over the London South western railway, tho American Lino Express, carrying 43 of the steamer New York's passengers from Plymouth to London, plunged from the track lust after paeeing the station here at 1 :57 o'clock this morning and mangied to death in Kb wreckage 23 passengers, and four of the trainmen. Beside those to whom death came speedily, a dozen persons were injured, somo of them soriously. The lato hour of tho New York's ar rival at Plymouth saved many lives. She carried more than GO travelers for London, but many of them elected to travel on comfortably to Southampton in preference to the late landing at Ply mouthand the long night ride across tho country. If tho Now York had made a faBter passage the somber roster of the dead and injured would have been larger. Tho surviving passengers and train men describe the sound of the wreck as like the discharge of a eeriea of heavy guns of varied caliber, and when the crashing of the wreck web past thore came calls of the injured, some Bbriek ing with pain and fear and others- moaning as if bewildered by the shock Belief came quickly, although it was an hour before the laBt body was dragired from the wreck. The police, attracted by the noise, called ambu lances and surgeons and warned the hospitals to prepare to receive tho in jured. Tho railway yard quickly filled with police, doctors, nurees, trainmen and volunteers. Tho darkness and incredible deqtruc tion made the work of reecuo exceed incly difficult. Lamps and terches were brought to light the desolate scene. The station was converted into a surgery and the platform was made a mortuary. LOOKING FOR GOOD MAN.

St. Petesbug, July 3. No definite statement with reference to tho retire ment of the Gortmykin cabinet was forthcoming today. Emperor Nicholas Ib apparently encountering trouble in flndine a man to whom to intrust the reins of power and effecting an under standing with the Liberal groups of parliament. The Constitutional Democratic par liament committeo mot this afternoon behind closed doors to discuss taction under the situation. The Associated Press was informed after the meeting that the committee adhered to its for mer decision that nothing leas than a fully responsible cabinet will be accept able, and that Constitutional Demo crats will refnee to take portfolios in any mixed cabinet. The leaders scarcely expect that these terms will be accepted at present. In deed they have slight deBire to shoulder tho responsibility of government, when the country apparently is on tho verge of a series of outbreaks and disorders. Their present plan is to adopt toward any new ministry the same tactics they havo followed in the past, the accept ance of what ia good in the policy o' the government and unsparing criti cism whore that policy does not square with their ideas. Tho immediate pass age of a vote of lack of confidence is probable. It Is stated that Minister of Interior Stoiypin and Minister of Finance Ko kovsoff will submit to the lower house of parliament, probably tomorrow, a request for an appropriation of $50, 000,000 for famine relief. The great Rock of Gibraltar, on Eu- ropa iolnt, looks llon-Uke In lt soli tary mnJeHty. Tho town proper climbs tho mountain's lower slope. All about nro ttirbnned Moors, who walk along proudly, with the slow, but swinging, kingly tread of desert trlbc-s. There Is the sound of bngpliiw, nnr tho fam ous Black Watch march by. They aro tall, handsome Illghlnndors, nnd im pressive because of tho plaid. The most formidable parts of the defenses of Gibraltar are Invisible. There arc unon this tiny nlot a building which would return ln rent a fair Interest on this vast sum. All these problems made the work of the architects peculiarly alincult They planned an eighteen-story build Ing, Its foundation resting on bed-rock. rising 220 feet above the -sidewalk. Tho architects planned one office for each floor, nnd In order that these or flees might not be spoiled by pillars and dividing walls omitted all Internal col umns, relying upon a steel frame, scl entlflcally braced, to withstand the wind or the earthquake, for all sup port. This frame will be coverea witu a skin of stone. It required some ingenuity to utilize every Inch of space, but this was es sontlal, for land at $000 a squnre foot may not be wasted. On each floor are to be toilet rooms for men and women. telegraph, telephone and electric light wires, power, ticker service, messenger and police calls. Each floor Is to be rentllated with a specially designed ap parntus, which keeps the nlr puro and cool without ooenluc windows, for In such a building draughts would be In svltable were the widows alone to be relied upon for ventilation. The plot on which this building Is to stand Is about tho most valuable bit of land ln the world. The original owner held It for a long time, nnd many years ago a would-be buyer offer ed to pave the plot with sliver dollars and give them as Its price. Tho owner was at first inclined to accept tbl offer, but on figuring on It a while said ho would not sell for less money than would pave It with gold dollars. This proposition was rejected. Many offers have been made since, but none of them camo up to the owner's Idea of Its value until some St. Louis capital iBts, who now own It, made the offer of $4,400,000, which was accepted. So far as can be learned, no other piece of land ever brought so high a price. The total Investment will bo $5,100, 000. Owners of office buildings expect to get 10 per cent a year In rents, which, after paying Interest nnd ex penses of management, leaves them only about four per cent Therefore, these owners must get $510,000 a year for tho eighteen floors, or moro than $28,000 a floor. This means that for less than 1,200 square feet of office room a tenant must pay more than $23 a Bquare foot Sedition Spread Among Mexicans. Mexico City, July 3. Since Gover nor Yeabel, of Sonora, made hia report on the Cananea outbreak, allowing con clusively that seditious papers wore be tas circulated among the Mexican min ers in that mining camp, there has been renewed attention given thq prop aganda, seml-Bocialiatlc in character, carried on among workingmen in the Industrial centers by political intrigu ers seeking to take advantage of organ ization in various parts of the country of labor unions. These unionB are quito legal In their construction. Mine Riots Are Expected. El Paso, Tex., July 3.Ordors havo been issued at Phoenix, Ariz., to hold three companies of the Arizona Nation al Guard in readiness to proceed to Morend and Olfton, Ariz., where a strike is threatoned in the mines. A strike occurred there three years ago with serious riots and United States troops bad to be called out to quell them. There has been trouble in tbeae camps for several weeks past, with sev eral minor strikes. Contest On Smoot's Seat. "Washington, July 3.

Gibraltar marks a definite point ln the progress of the tourist. It Is the big mountain dog of the British, which guards the entrance to the Mediterran ean Sea, with a fortress and a tower that hugs the rock below. Traversing the neutral ground along the- sandy Isthmus beyond It, the traveler has a view of the outskirts of Algeclras, where the Franco-German conference over reforms In Morocco was recently held. It Is here that the traveler has his first glimpse of the far-fnmed Med ltorranean sunsets, with Algiers the next stopping point of the steamer, 410 miles away. A panoramic view of France's North African possessions as they look from half a mile or le3s nt sea la something to remember. Algiers Itself Is beautl ful, rising to the old fortress on the height above It ln an unbroken mass of minarets and cupolas and white houses, on whoso terraced roofs the flowers bloom. Westward the hills de cline to a promontory, SIdl Ferruch nineteen miles away, and eastward to 6ape Matlfon, so that the land where Algiers is built Is crescent-shaped. Far away tp the south the Atlas mountains rise. Nearer this Bide of the fertile plain of the Metjeda are tho pictur esque and fertile highlands of tho Sahel, Just behind the city, where are palm trees and eucalyptus, cypress and olive, where fruits grow In abundance. The entrance to the city Is decidedly pleasing, for the fine esplanade of the lower French quarter faces tho sea. immaculate French officers and officials fill the foreground, and pretty women In Parisian toilettes, and handsome car. rlnges nnd automobiles whizz by. Om nibuses are labeled with tho names of arlous hotels, such ns "Tho Ll6n of the Desert," "The Panther," "The Beautiful Englishwoman." Moorish ladles of high degree, faces half cover ed, shrouded ln white, ride on donkeys , led by coal black Nubians. A flave gtrl swings along, poising a water Jar upoti her bend. The native city Is higher up tho hllt- Ide. It has Moorish cafes where men It cross-legged, smoking long pipes of kief, little shops whero native tailors work with gold and silver threads on colored cloth. The streets are so nar row that a camel could not enter them, and arms outstretched touch cither side. The residences havo no windows, only peepholes by tho door, and but for the street noises and the peopio passing, the place would seem lifeless a prison city of blank walls. Somo of tho roads aro paved, but others ore nothing moro than stairways that lead up, up, mterminaDiy. uccnsionanjr arches span the way, with rooms above them. The whole city has oeen built with n view to shutting out the heat of the African sun. Each successive story of a house projects beyond tho one below It, the projection being supported by Inclined props that rest against tha wall. The sky Is thus pretty well shut out, and progress resembles Journeying ln a covered passage. Tho swarthy na tives wear white turbans, the Jews aro brightly garbed, and have silver but tons on their blue gray Jackets. The Arabs wear burnouses. Boya leave their shoes ln a row outside of the school- bouse, and heelless slippers ornament tho entrance to the mosques. Altogether, Algiers Is an odd city. full of Interest In tailor shops, whero BTBEXT KT AIjOECIBAS, they embroider clothing, the workman uses his great toe to hold the thread, which Is twisted around It. In another hole ln the wait Is a shoemaker, seated on a dirty mat, and stitching away ln leisurely fashion on red and yellow footgear for Moorish women. Almost next door, In the tiniest of tiny shops. Is a fruit and flower dealer, who clalmx to be a descendant of All, son-in-law o tho prophet, while here nnd there In coffee houses a chorus of sad voices sing "The Lament of Grenada," ScjBWvention A new gutta percha, that of Herr Gentsch of Vienna, Is obtained from a mixture of caoutchouc nnd palm resin.

Dr. Jensen, chief of the Swiss bu reau of superintendence over the milk Industry, says that It is a common error to suppose that milk submitted for a considerable time to a tempera ture of 120 degrees Fahrenheit Is better for nourishment than that boiled for a short time. When tho heating Is pro longed the alteration ln the valuable properties of the milk begins ns low as 100 degrees, but with quick heating It does not begin below 110 degrees. Tuberculosis bacilli are destroyed by heating to 105 degrees for five minutes, and such heating does not alter tha properties of the milk. Dr. Jensen ad vises that the pasteurization of milk ba done In the home, nnd but shortly be fore tho milk Is used, caro being taken, not to go above the temperature neces sary to kill tho pathogenic germs. Tho De Forest Wireless Telegraph Company, In announcing recent success ful experiments ln sending code words across the Atlantic from Coney Island to a receiving station ln tho 6outh of Ireland, calls attention to an Interest ing peculiarity connected with tho vary ing distances to which wireless signals are sent. It seems that every specific, distance has, to use the analogy of sound, a key, pitch, or tone of Its owu, which can only be determined by exper iment Thus, If tho operator at Coney Island should send tho samo messuga simultaneously to Boston and Philadel phia, using the Philadelphia "pitch," the receiver In Boston would get th message In bad shape. But if the Bos ton "pitch" were used, Philadelphia and all near-by points might intercept the message.
