Ottawa, Ont., Aug. 29. Details havo Just been learned of the plans of tho newly-Incorporated Lake Siv perlor, Long Lake & Albany River Company for the construction of a railroad through Canada from Penin sula Harbor, on the northern shore of Lake Superior, to a point adjoin ing the mouth of tho Albany river, on the southern shoro of James Bay, and a branch line from Long Lake to the Albany river. According to the statements of Its projectors the new railway line will open tho heart of the western part of tho "great clay belt," of tho James Bay slope, said to be as capable of growing grain as Manitoba, and af ford access to great timber and pulp wood resources. It will also, by reaching James Bay, mako feasible the creation of a great fishery trade, especially in white fish, superior to those of tho great lakes, and salmon, declared In a recent geological sur vey to be bettor In color and flavor than those of British Columbia. Tho main line of the road Is to be 150 miles in length. It will run in its southern section through n country rich in mineral deposits, and In Its northern section through land admirably 'adapted for wheat growing.

PARDONS BLIND CHINAMAN. Governor Chamberlain Exercises Clemency Toward Aped Murderer. Salem. Aug. 2li. Wong Long, a Chinaman sent up from Clatsop county for 12 years lor manslaugh ter, was pa.rdoned yesterday after noon by Governor George E. Cham herialn.

Olllls, an eye specialist, to exam ine him. and the latter pronounced hint incurable and would soon be blind, therefore the governor exer cised executive clemoncy in ills be half, in order that his people might linve an opportunity to care tor him and give him what medical aid Is necessary. If left where he was, lie would he a permanent bur don to the stnto. i.ave way, aad the boiler head In the cab JUulled wit, blowing out the grates In 'the firebox, tearing the Are door from itw hinges, and wrecking the in terior of the cab.

The train was traveling about 25 miles an hour and there was plenty of water In the glass, and a full head of steam and no reason can he given for the ucei dent other than that the constant strain of the heavy steam prossun on the boiler had slowly and lm perceptibly developed a weakness at some rivet or seam. These boilers ciury 2uti pounds of Brenm and are well constructed. It Is tho first nccl (lout of tne kind ever occurring on the mountain division, Tho trnin . was in charge of Con dueler Jiuuea A.

Caleb Powers' conviction the third time of tho murder of Governor Goe bel in 1900, is no surprlso to those who have followed tho progress of tho case, as the evidence adduced at each trial has been more convincing as to his guilt than at preceding ef forts by tho stnte. Goebel was shot In broad daylight at Frankfort while crossing tho grounds of tho state house. He wns hit by a ball from a ,41-caliber rlile fired from a second story window of tho stnto house.

Both of tho gentlemen are well versed In the English Ian guago, and a conversation with them hns none of the uncertainties of an attempt with the average. Chinaman, met in this country. In fact-, the only thing that would botray tne fact Hint they aro not Americans as far as their speech Is concerned, ig the oc casional halting for a word, and the use onco in a while of the pet phrase of tho Chinaman, "by-and-bye." Mr. Cheo, In Hpeaking of the pur pose of their mission In this coun try said: "We have been in this conn try for the past four months, wqrl; ing among our people in. the behnir of the Reform Association, and ,nra naving gooa success. The associa tion was formed by the reform or modern element of the people of our country in 1889, and was sanctioned by the emperor, Kwoog Sut. For four months the government was carried on In accordance with the ideas of - the association, and at the end of that time the Dowager Em press saw that the teachings of the association were not to her benefit, and not in accordance with her pol icy, and she put a summary stop to it and put many of the leaders to death. Her policy Is for her own power, regardless of the goou of the country, and her party is too strong at this time to overturn. "But understand, that the object of the association is not war, but pcatu. wuui we wiun io secure we would accomplish in a lieuceful way. and tho time Is coming when this will be feasible. If wo could gain an audience with the Dowager wo think that the matter would be arranged. We could retire her on a good allow ance, so that she would bo comfor table tor the rest of her days; or fcomo plan could be adopted by which tho rightful sovereign would bo' iu power, anu tho good of tho country would result. But might Is right there, nnd the empress has always looked for hor own good, and will so continue to do, wo fear. "Tho last four jears bus seen the association grow at tho rato of a mllllou a year, until now it has branches in overy country where thoro are uny of our countrymen. The president of the association, Kaug Yu Wei, Is now in Burmali, where ho Is carrying on the work, tho samo as we aro in this country. Wo expect to bo here about three months more, and will end our mis sion iu San Francisco, "When wo havo grown sumclontlv strong in numbers wo hopo that the reigning power in China will see that wo have tho right on our side, and wo will be able to put the em peror on the throuo." Tho gentlemen will address a meeting of all the Chinamen of tho city at the courthouse this evening, where, In the language of tnelr own country, tho objectB of the associa tion and its principles will bo madB plain, and a branch organized hero for tho promotion of tho tenets of the reform ideas.
