I INTO OPEN SWITCH SwrtW rfc Tram li VnUi at Salem Engineer arwJ rtrema Ktt4. Sabm, Or.. lec S. The north bound California express No. 12, du here at 4 SI and in Portland at 7 P. M., was derailed at the trastle 800 yard south of the Salem rtatiou on iu schedule time vwtrrdny afternoon. The engine and the mail and baggage caw, smoke and one day coach left the rail. Fireman Fish reird in juries Irom which be died toon Hr Wing taken to the hospital. Engi neer William 11. Whit wa badly scalded, and it wn thought He would recover, bat he died at 10 this morning. None of the pamgr or other membarc of the train crew re ceived any injuries. An open .switch 80 yards south of the treWe eaud the accident. The frcene of the wreck i within the yard limits. The train was on time and wns entering the station yard t mndenie rate of sied. The train com-M4d of eight coach, including the special car of spemitnt Fields, who was promptly on the cetve and jeooaiiy oirecwa ir operations in exUieating tke fiwwan and engineer and clearing tite tracks. The engine, mail ad baggg coach, smoker and one day coacH took tie switch track, the other car remaining on the main track. The engine and the mail otwen ten ine switch upon entering the trertl and plunged into the creek about IZ )eet below. Fireman Fh romped and was caaght beneath the trucks of the baggage car, which was then directly across the tracks. ll was fearfully mangled and lie lived only 15 minutes after reaching Florence sanitarium. Two day coaches left the rails but remained on the embank meat. The passengers were badly shaken up but none were injured. Engineer White remained at ins pott and his left leg was caught be tween the engine and tender. Two hours of hard labor was required to extricate him and the limb for its en tire length was severely scalded by steam that came from the firebox. Althoueh in trreat pain not a murmur escaped his lips, nor did he lose con sciousness, awl when finally released his first inquiry was for his fireman. The cause of the accident was un questionably an open switch. The blame, therefore, has not been defi nitely fixed. The switch is supposed to have been left insecurely closed by the crew of tbe freight train which left the station yard less than an hour before the arrival of the passenger train. The lock to the switch is missing and has not beon found. The section foreman, who passed over the main track subsequent to the de parture of the freight train, says the switch was properly adjusted, but the absence of the switch lock cannot be explained. It is not considered prob able that in broaa aay ncni auu within ((0 vAitU of the depot the switch was tampered with 30 minutes before tbe arrival oi tne train. x.n- cineer White said the switch was hall - - . i oien.

Congress man Edgar Weeks, of Michigan, who arrived from Manila un the tniisiort Hancock, wlien asked aliout condi tions in tlie Philippines Mkl: "I saw Aguinaldo and nmtl half a day with him. He is not an intelli gent man, ami I think feels that lie is inferior in intellect to the American!). He seemed to me not clever, but cun ning. Tlie general opinion among military men is that Aguinaldo should le allowed to OKpe. He is a dead isue and is no longer a menace to the United States. It is supposed that he does not want to run away, as he would at onoe be asasinated by the friends of Gcnoral Luna, whom he ordered to be killed. "The new method of educating the natives as adopted by this government is wrong. Refined, lmndfomo young ladies from Vatsar and other colleges went down to the Philippines to edu cate thes-e natives. They have had to put up with all kinds of privations and to eat native food, and in some palces their lives have been m danger. I think this is entirely un necessary. In place ol thet-o young ladies, discharged soldiers of educa tion, who had become acclimated, should be appointed and the young ladies' should bo sent home. "The question of the Sultan of Sulu and his harem is a very small ques tion whon you aro confronted with the great questions that are now in volved. The sultan lives in a dirty, tumble down house, and he may have several wives, but ho is a very insig nificant person. I do not fear any trouble with him." What Cuba Needs. Washington, Dec. 9. Gen. Leonard Wood, governor of Cuba, was at the capitol today, conferring with sona tors in tho interest of Cuban rccipro city. General Wood told the senators that some measure of reciprocity on Cuban sugar and tobacco, particularly the former, is essential to givo tho island tho stability and prosperity which was contemplated when the United States dispossessed Spanish rule. Concerning the renewed ro ports from Havana that Masso's friends complain that United States influence is being exerted in favor ol Palma, General Wood says that every care is being takon to avoid such in fluence, tho existence of which he believes to bo much over estimated.
