That Plague Was Imported From
San Francisco.
"Washington, Jan. 28. The state
department this morning received ad
vices from Mazatlan to the effect
that a searching investigation made
by the authorities there leave no
doubt that rats among vegetables
shipped direct from Chinatown in
San Francisco, conveyed the bubonic
plague to Mazatlan.
New York, Jan. 28. The railway

knowledge of but 15 dead as a result
of last night's wreck. Fourteen dead
were removed from the wreck. The
ether died in a nearby residence.
Although traffic has been resumed,
the wreckage is still being searched.
The list of the injured is Incom
plete. Conservative estimates place
the number between 30 and 40. Six
ot the dead are unidentified. An at
tempt is being made to locate a gang
of Italians who appeared on the scene
shortly after the wreck and robbed
the victims. They even went to tho
house where the Injured were taken
and attempted to steal watches and
Jewelry,
Later Thirty Dead.
The research up to noon adds only
horror. The list 'of dead will reach
30. An accurate list may never be
made, for as the ruins of the wrecked
Easton train were pulled from be
neath the flyer, parts of bodies were
found and it is believed that many
were burned.
Sixteen bodies have been identified.
Six are in the Plalnfleld morgue, un
identified. Several bodies are re
ported scattered through the hamlets
In the vicinity. Several unidentified
"bodies are at the "Westfield station.
Of these latter, four are so battered
and burned that identification 1b im
possible. The workers in the wreck
age are still discovering portions of
bodies.
Engineer Davis, of the flyer, who
was pulled from beneath his engine
and reported dead, is in tho Plalnfleld
hospital, dying. The injured number
more than 40, many of whom will
die.

ion occurred at 4 o'clock this morn
ing on the Southern Pacific, 17 miles
east of here.
The trains were piled up on each

the engines bursting and flashing the
inflammable stuff through the wreck
and exploding powder.

MUST TEAR DOWN FENCES.
United States District Attorney Or.
dera the Fences Removed From
Government Land.
John Day, 'Jan, '28. A number ot
residents ot Grant Comity have re
ceived notice from John Hall, United
States district attorney for Oregon,
ordering fences to bo Immediately
torn down where government land Is
enclosed. This order, coming at this
beason of the year, Is the occasion ot
Rome alarm on the part ot the stock
men who at present have their bands
in their pastures. It Is not yet known
it- the order will be made general, or
only to apply to those against whom
complaint has been made. ' It Is be
lieved to apply only to those who
have been notified.
Some time since complaint was
made against "W. W. Brown, a large
horso owner ot Fife. Crook county,
who had 40 miles of fence enclosing
one pasture. He removed his fences
from government land, and it Is said
lodged a complaint ngalnst a number
of his neighbors. Whother the order
that was sent to a number of stock
men of thle county will be nnforced
remains to be seen. To be compelled
to tear fences down nt this season of
the year would bo detrimental to
nearly every stock owner, nnd it is
likely that all will take chances on the
United States marshal not doing any
thing until spring.

Portland, Jan. 28. The special live
stock rate for breeding purposes,
which was announced some time ago
to go into effect January 15, but which
was later held up indefinitely, will be
in force before February 10. Some
fear was entertained that the project
had been abandoned and that this
rate reduction, which would be of im
mense benefit to all the Pacifl North
west states, would never become a
reality. That this fear was ground
less is proven by the announcement
today that the rate will be In opera

all probability before that time. In
stead of embracing only Oregon,

Ankeny Would Have Had a Caucus Majority, But One ot His
Supporters Was Absent,
Olympia, Jan. 28. 7The strength of i King county ranks is the beginning of
the end, ana was torcea oy roars ot
the King county men that when the
Wilson break-up occurs Wednesday,
Ankeny may be elected without as
sistance from the big county which,
has heretofore dominated politics in
the state. A contributing factor to
the break was the utter impossibility
of the Preston-McBride-WlIson combi
nation to show sufficient strength to
elect.
Harold Preston as a senatorial candi
date will be tested in a republican
caucus to be held here not later than
Saturday.. The Preston-McBrlde-WII-eon
combination has for the past two
weeks fought against a caucus, but
has only deferred the inevitable, and
Preston was served with a notice
from seven senators of his own del
egation that they would go into cau
cus not later than 8 o'clock Saturday
night. They coupled this notice with
the statement that they expected to
support hlra in the caucus, and he
then asked them to sign an agreement
refusing to vote for Ankeny at any
time during the legislative session.
This request was refused.
An attempt was also made to se
cure the signatures to a similar agree
ment from the members of the King
county delegation. All of them re
fused to sign it, and at midnight a
paper is being signed by others of the
King county delegation notifying
Preston that they also will enter a
caucus Saturday night, for the pur
pose of settling the senatorial ques
tion. This paper has received 13 sig
natures, including some of the sena
tors who personally notified Preston
of their intention to sign a caucus
call.

Rawlins and Beverldge , Have Warm
Debate Over the Philippine Investigation.
Washington, Jan, 28. Rawlins ,of
Utah, In the senate this afternoon,
introduced a resolution calling upon
Secretary Root for all records of
court-martials in the Philippines,
particularly of the Glenn, Waller and
Smith cases. He declared that in a
speech they' were called cold-blooded
murderers abroad, because the de
partment would not make public tho
records.
Beverldge asked who charged the
murder and wanted the names. Raw
lins declined. Beverldge thought the
time had come to cease badgering
the officers of the army. The debate
grow warmer until Rawlins, declared
such action infamous and cowardly.
Carmack Joined and said he was as
tonished to find the lice o fthe Philip
pines debate jrawllng in the hair of
the senator from Indiana. "Jake
Smith," ho said, !'is no more tho
American army than Beverldge Is the
United States senate, and not nearly
so much as Beverldge thinks ho Is."

Developments Expected.
1 Grande, Jan. 28. Since tho
county seat Issue has, assumed a fixed
shape inUnlou county, many strange
and unpxpected developments hav
Veen made.
Petitions have been signed by 21500
voters, asking that the county scat
bo removed from Union to I.a Grande,
and a delegation of citizens Is now
at Salem urging the removal.
This overwhelming strength,
amounting to 85 per cent ot the legal
voters of tho county, was deemed
a convincing argument In favor ot .
removal.
Since tho annexation of tho "Pan
handle" to Baker county, Unlon't
position noar the eastern border of
the county, has mado It practically
certain that she would ultimately losa
the seat ot governments
Since the presentation of tho peti
tions to tho legislature, it has been
nscortnlned by the committees on
counties, that tho city of I.a Granda
Is nB far from the conter of popula
tion as Union, mid about as near the
western boundary ot Union county ax
Union 1b tho eastern boundary. It !
but 18 miles from La Grando to Ka
niela, with one settlement at Hllgard
in that entire distance.
It la thought by the committee on
counties that the removal of tho
county soat to La Grande will only
aggravate (ho matter, as the bulk ot
population In Union county lies north
ot that cltj. In fact, she stands oa
(he very outer edgo of tho heavily
populated districts of Grnnde Ronrt
valley, and would bo as lrapractlcabl3
as Union so far. as tho convenience of
tho people Is concerned.
The latest development. Is that tht
new Mormon town of Allcel, a small
slatlon on tho Elgin branch, nlna
miles north of Ln Grando. Is to ba
selected aa the jiormanont location
for the county soat.
It stands In the heart ot the coun
ty from the point of settlement, and
also geographically, and would serva
the Interests of the tax-payers fully,
for all time to come, as the settlement
cn all slde-j would logically bo equal.
