Salem, Mich., July 20. Thirty
persons are dead and more thun sev
enty injured, many of them seriously,
us u result of a head-on collision to
day on (he railroad between this vil
lage and Plymouth, tthen n Pere
Marquette excursion train hound
from Ionia to Detroit crashed into a
westbound freight train in a cut at a
sharp curve about a mile east of Sa
lem. Tho passenger train of eleven cars
was carrying Pere Marquette shop
employes of Ionia mid their families
to the Michigan metropolis for their
annual excursion, and l'limiing at
high speed, probably fifty miles an
hour, down a steep grade. It struck
the lighter locomotive of the freight
train with such terrific violence as to
turn tho freight engine completely
around. The wrecked Iocomothes
this afternoon lay side hy side headed
eastward.
Only a fow freight cars were
smashed, and It took only a few
hours to remove all traces of them
from the scone. But behind the two
locomotives tho six cars of the pas
senger train lay piled In a hopeless
wreck. Four coaches remained on
tho track undamaged and were used
to convoy the dead and Injured to
Ionia. Ono coach .was entirely un
damaged, with only Its forward
trucks off tho rails. These woro the
flvo rear cars. j
Tho two coaches next ahead of
them woro tGlescoped. The nextono
stood almost on its end. Fireman
Knows died on the relief train en
route to Detroit, bringing the lost up
to 30, with the possibility of more
bodies to be found In the wreckage
and that several of the Injured may
die. Tho responsibility Is put square
on tho crew of the freight train by
the officials of tho road.
Those who arrived at the scene of
the wrcek soon after tho accident
secured from the crow of tho freight
tho orders under which it was run
ning and which clearly showed tho
position of tho passenger excursion
train and that tho freight had en
croached on the other train's gun
ning time. The collision occurred
at 9:13 o'clock and the freight train
should have reached Salem at 9:10,
to bo within its orders. The excur
sion train loft Ionia crowded with
men, women and children at six this
morning.
Every family had Its lunch basket
and many were eating when tho
trains crashed together. Tho Impact
was terrific and the number of pas
sengers sitting near the windows of
tho rear end of tho undamaged
coaches were thrown through the
windows to the ground. There wast
a panic among those on tho unin
jured coaches for a fow moments.
Then as the uninjured persons real
ized they had not been hurt, they
rushed from tho cars to rescue their
friends and relations who were
pinioned in tho wreckage ahead.
Families were scattered among the
different cars and there were frenzied
searches for the missing relatives.
Mothers ran screaming up and down
searching for their children, while
man of the young people frantically
vero searching for parents. Tho
crash of tho colliding trains was

RECEIVES DEEP ATTENTION"
Now York, July 20. What appears
to bo a rcmurkablo psychical experi
ment has just boon undergone by
Rev. Henry Rolling?, a young Eng
lish curate, now taking a special
course In tho New York Homeopathic
Medical College, in that he saw as
In a vision tho death of his father,
although 3,000 miles separated
father and son at tho time. More
over, the deathbed scene ats the
young clergyman saw it in his mind's
oyo was corroborated in every detail
In a letter two weeks later.
Rov. Mr. Rollins says that after a
particularly arduous day ho throw
himself on his bed exhausted and fell
into a sleop from which ho was awak
ened by a vivid picture. Ho saw his
father as distinctly as he ever saw
him in his life, and heard him call,
"My oy, my boy, I am dying."
His father, ho says, was lying in
bed in a room which ho did not recog
nize, but know from the furnishings
to be English. Ho saw all of his
relatives there except his sister, and
he wondered in his vision why she
was absent. Ho saw his father sink
back on tho bed, and he know for a
certainty, ho said, although it was
not an act of sensibility ho was per
forming, that his father was dead.
Tho letter from England a fort
night afterward said that tho elder
Rollings died on the exact day and
at tho exact hour that the younger
Rollings had his death pictured to
him. Not only that, tho letter said
that tho elder Rollings said just be
fore ho passed away that he could
see his son standing by tho bedside.
Tho strange room In tho vision was
explained by tho statement that the
family had moved from the old home
stead to another house In Bedford
shire, and in tho absence of the sis
tor from tho room, which was ex
plained by tho statement that at the
tlmo sho was ill.

Miners and Says They Are Not

Boise, July 20. James H. (Hawley,
leading counsel for the state, in pre-'
sonting tho first of his arguments
against Haywood, spoke nearly eight
hours, distributed over three ses
sions of tho court, today. Even
though tho session continued this
afternoon long after the usual hour
for adjournment every seat remained
occupied and none In the room was
a more attentive listener than Hay
wood himself and none showed less
emotion.
Throughout tho day Hawley used
almost a conversational tone. Analy
sis of tho testimony In contradiction
of Orchard's story was concluded fre
quently with a denunciation of the
witness and afterwards spoke of the
witness as a wilful perjurer or guilty
of unintentional falsehood. When
Hawley reached tho preparation and
execution of the murder of Governor
SteunenLerg, his voice found a sym
pathetic note and as ho told of the
ex-Governor's last . moments the
courtroom was hushed and the jury
loaned forward to catch the speak
er's every word. Hawley's speech
showed there was no attempt at any
Alexandropol, Russia, July 20.
General Allkhanoff, former governor
general of Tiflls; Mme. Gllebok, wife
of, General Ghcboff, and the coach
man who was driving their carriage
'were blown to nieces bv bombs
thrown at their conveyance nt 2; an

General Glleboff sustained serious
Injuries.
The' party was returning to the
residence of General Allkhanoff from
his club. The bombs were hurled
In Beboutoff street.
GwralfAUkhanoff was nicknamed
"the" wild beast" by- the Caucasian
members of the lower house of Par

cruelty In. -the JXutais .district, where
he led a number of punitive expedi

Goneral-'Alikhnnoff was injured by
a bomb last year. This bomb was
thrown Just as ho was about to take
a train for Tlflis. Its explosion seri
ously wounded, in addition to the
General, a member or his staff and
several Cossacks. The remainder of
the Cossacks fired into the crowd,
killing many persons, and then
burned to tho ground six buildings
Into which the people sed.
General Allkhanoff was called the
pacifier of Kutals, and was the most
hated man in the Caucasus. For
soveral months tho government was
completely in the hands of the revo
lutionists, they being In full posses

Sea to Suram tunnel, wh'lch they
had blown ,up in January,
Allkhanoff dispatched a column of
Cossacks, who crossed tho moun

Inheritance, young Bertonl quit Italy
flvo years ago and came to America
to abide tho timo when tho death of
his father, a very old man, would

Tho letter received Saturday in

note of deep sincerity and great ear

est judgment from the honest men
of Idaho. Hawley said he did not
charge the majority, or even that
that many of tho Western Federation
jwere criminals, but that tho evil
deeds of the officers and of tho scum
of the organization had brought dis
credit on the rank and file.
Tho time had come, he said, when
right-thinking men should rise and
make war upon the evil Influences
that were the curse of all organiza

Hawley was showered with congratulations.

Stockton, July 20. County Asses
sor Cy Morelng, Jr., and the Board
of Supervisors, acting as a board of
equalization, have locked horns over
the assessment of the property of the
Western Pacific railroad.
The company has completed Its
road-bed through San Joaquin coun
ty, but no rails had been placed in
position on March 1st last. Tho as
sessor placed the valuation of tho
grade at $1000 a mile. Attorney
DoWItt Clary, for tho railroad,
argued that the rails were not In
place and tho road embankment had
no commercial value or earning ca
pacity. The Board of Supervisors by a vote
of 3 to 2 sustained his contention
and ordered the assessment removed
from the books. Morelng asserts
that ho .will tako tho matter before
the State Board of Equalization for
adjustment. Ho claims that the
grade Is worth all that he assessed
It for, as about $60,000 was expend
ed on tho twenty-throe miles of. it
in the county.
Tho district attorney advised tho
Board that the assessment was just
and proper, but tho thrco members
say they have taken the same stand
as the supervisors in other counties.
Tho railroad company has made a
heavy expenditure in Alameda, coun
ty, but its grado for tho road was
not assessed.

Washington, July 20. Several
Oregonians are among the flf,ty can
didates who went before the Civil
Service Commission's examiners on
the morning of the 9th to show how
far they are qualified to push the
sale of cotton goods and mouse traps,
rum and dollar watches, Idols and
agricultural Implements, in foreign
lands. Of course, consuls have other
things to do as well as seek trade for
manufacturers at home, such as ad
vancing money to destitute country
men, and so forth; but the consul in
these days is essentially a trade
agent, so he must know something
to enable him to be useful. At pres
ent no man can get Into the consular
service except by an examination,
and he must enter one of the lower
grades of consuls and serve until ho
proves his worth before he is ad
vanced to higher and better paid
ports.
Congress has classified tho Consuls-
Into nine classes, with salaries rang
ing from $2000 a year in the lowest
class to $800 In the highest, which
has but ono consulate, namely, Liv
erpool. Manchester constitutes the
second class, at $6000 a year. The
third class contains Bremen, Belfast,
Dawson, Havre, Kobe, Lourenzo
Marquez, Lyons and Pretoria, at $5,
000 a year. The fourth class con
tains twelve consuls at $4500, the
fifth twenty-one at $4000, the sixth
thlrty-iwcuat $3500, the seventh forty-seven
at $3000, the eighth sixty
one at $2500, and the ninth seventy
at $2000. Above tho consuls are the
consuls-general sevon classes of
them, with salaries ranging from
$3000 for the' lowest grade, like
Athens, Chrlstianla and Copenhagen,
to $12,000 for London and Paris.
A consul is allowed 5 cents a mile
to meet his traveling expenses to get
to his post, and ho gets office rent,
stationery, postage, a clerk or mes
senger, If necessary, and his office
equipment. He is also allowed sixty
days' leave every year, besides the
time necessary in traveling to and
from his home.
Germany is considerably more lib
oral with its Consuls. It not only
pays tho traveling expenses of its
consuls, but also of four or five mem
bers of a consul's family, the cost of
transporting his household effects,
and makes an allowance for sotting
up housekeeping. If he has a leaso
on hi shouse, tho government takes
it off his hands-, so that he may bo
able to leave at once.
But with: all the drawbacks which
the consuls say they find in the busi
ness and the man at Cardiff, Wales,
resigned becauso he said he could
not live there on $2500 a year
there seem to bo plenty of applicants
for tho posts vacant. In fact, many
who wanted to take tho examinations
had to be refused because their states
already had more than their equit
able representation In tho service.
Ono young man from the West was
undecided whether to claim resldonco
In his own stato or In a southern
state, where ho happened to bo liv
ing, until ho found that his own stato
was over-represented and tho south
ern stato was not. If ho Is appointed
ho will hall from a stato below Ma
son and Dixon's lino, which will
cauio many of his friends surprise,
There aro at present &eventeon va

sular classes, and thore aro threo va
cancies in tho higher classes to bo

by the transfer from St. Pierre of
Charles M. Freeman, who desires the
change for the benefit of members of
his family, who arc In poor health.
St. Pierre Is a lone French possession,
being a rocky Island off the coast of
Newfoundland. Recently It was dis
covered through tho Inspection ser
vice of the Consular Bureau that
Freeman was one of tho best Consuls
In the service, and his request for a.
transfer was readily granted. He
Is likely to bo given a substantial pro
motion, If a place can be found which
will be satisfactory from tho climatic
standpoint.
Vacancies exist In the $2,500 class
at Acapulco, Cardiff, Gothenburg,
Madrid and Zanzibar.
In the $2,000 class, Catania In
Sicily, Guadeloupe, Hobart In Tas
mania, Messina, Saigon, St. Christo
pher, Venice and Suva in tho Fiji
Islands are vacant. A Consul 1b
needed at Goree-Dakar, which is In
Senegal, on the west coast of Africa.
There Is also a Consular vacancy at
Port Louis, off the east coast of South
Africa. It might be thought that a
Consul would be likely to live and dlo
in some of the out-of-the-way posts
where Consular offices aro main
tained, but under the present system
of promotions changes are mado with
considerable frequency, and promo
tion is reasonably sure and rapid, so
that there is some Inducement to
educated. Intelligent young men with
a taste for foreign life to win ad
vancement. It Is possible, also, that
Congress may bo prevailed on to In
crease the emoluments and multiply
tho places carrying good salaries.
