It Is necessary for the state committee to amputate Chairman Cake nnd graft on a new head In the form of Senator Beach. It Is all cooked up now.

Wlnthrop Sands, son of Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, by her first marriage, was killed. It was at first reported tnat William K. Vanderbilt hod been killed and La Patrie issued an extra edition announc ing his supposed death, which caused a great sensation.

It is understood that Sands was on his way from Deauvllle to Paris and was making a rapid run. The car up set at a sharp turn In the road, which the chauffeur tried to take at too hlph a rate of speed. Both Sands and the chauffeur were pinned under the car and were extri cated by working people, attracted by the accident, only after the greatest difficulty.

The accident happened at an out-of- the-way piaco and there are reports that other persons were In the car and that their names are being concealed.

Origin or Tire Unknown. Although there Is nothing definite yet as to the origin of the fire beyond that It started In tho hayloft of the Overland stables, the cause for Its spreading can undoubtedly be laid at the doors of the light company w hone overhead wires, forming a thick net work throughout the wholesale district, made It almost Impossible for the fire department to keep the strong north wind from carrying the flames over the entire north end The poles burned off soon after the fire started, throwing a tangle of live power and trolley wires Into the street, cutting off the hydrants and preventing the engines from get ting ot work effectively until the power was shut off.

Through an unfortunate clause, the one weak point in the laws framed by the interstate commerce commis sion, the connecting steamship lines of the Hill, Harriman and Santa Fe systems will probably be offered for sale soon after November 1, and all, Pacific business for and from th Orient will have to be carried in for eign bottoms. ' Notices were sent from Chicago today by the railroad lines that on and after November 1 they will go out of the export trade with China, Japan. New Zealand and Australia. The Canadian Pacific railroad also sent out similar notices to American shippers. The ruling was made be cause of the interstate law that 30 days' notice must be given the com mission of any change of tariff on goods in transit via Pacific Coast ports. This ruling is alleged to be entirely in favor of foreign steamship lines, which can "undercut" the American companies without giving notice and the latter could not meet the cut in time, owing to the 30-day clause, to get the business. The ruling of the lines centering at Chicago, which represent the Great Northern, t'nlon Pacific, Canadian Pa cific. Oregon Short Line and Santa Fe, means that the Suez canal route wll get all of the Asiatic trade that has been going through Pacific ports. This will leave the Japanese steamship lined In control of Pacific-Asiatic trade. The Chicago advices are that the Port land and Astatic steamship llnea out of Portland the Northern Pacific Steam ship line out of Seattle, the Pacific Mall Steamship company out of San Fran cisco nnd the Santa Fe steamers out of Port Snn Pedro will be offered for sale. What the Canadian Pacific will do ts conjecture. That companv has been handling a deal of American goods via Vancouver. B. C, but will be In the same ;ositlon as the American lines as tt must conform to American laws when handling freight to and from the fnited States. The rallroals claim that the trade of the orient amounts to I2RO.000.000 an nually, a great part of which Is crude oil. raw cotton, wheat and flour. The Chicago dispatches .iy that the notice sent out today reads that the llnea can not attempt to hold this vast traf fic under the 80 day Interstate ruling and that unless the can make rates, overnight If necessary, to meet the situations that nrls" In the business of hipping thev must drop nil of their P.-.c'f1c steamship lines The Port'.ind S- Asiatic Steamship company officers in this city have Dot yet received the Chicago notice but they have been etpctlng somethlnar of the kind wo'.'i! happen Th road rave i.o'lce some time ago that It Would be Impossible to eonrorm to the .to diy civile.
