ELKS IN TRAINWRIXK.
Excursion on Way to Ohmpla Ditched
With Fatal Remits.
Chohalls, Wash., Aug. 23. The
special train carrying the Portland F.lks
to Olympia was ditched two miles nest
of this place at 1 1 o'clock yesterday
morning, while running at a high rate
ot speed. Two men, Charles Farlc
man, a cigar dealer of Portland, and
frank Galea, a tiamp, who was riding
on the tender, wore Instantly killed.
Between 30 and 40 others were in-
Juted, ot whom two and possibly three
are so serlouslr hurt that recovery Is
doubtful.
The special ot seven cars, pulled by
engine 347, left Portland at 7:35 A. M.
Accordlu to the testimony of the pas
sengers, which ib corroborated in a
measure by tho statement of the engl
neer, tho engine was not working very
satisfactorily, and when Castle Rock
was readied the fires were drawn and
an effort made to repair it so that It
would steam better.
It climbed the hill beyond Castle
Rock without difficulty, and picked up
some of tho time that was lost belore
Napavine was reached, From that
point It rolled down the grade at a
pretty good gait, and wna going at
about a 40-mile clip along the banks ol
the ewaukum river, about 2 Si miles
west of Chehalis, when suddenly i
D a rp explosion waa heard and an in
tant later the big locomotive shot over
the embankment, toppled to the left
and buried its left cylinders and driv
ers in the soft earth. Simultaneously
with tho explosion the tender parted
from the euigne, Jumped from its trurks
ami landed at tha loot ol the embank
ment. The first car, a light combina
tion passenger and baggage car, broke
loose from the tender. Dumped for an
instant on the ties, and then, with tor-
rlfio force, plunged down the embank
ment.
An immense cedar stump was stand
ing near the foot nf the embankment,
and as the car flew past it, the entire
lett side of the coach was torn nut, and
the unfortunate passengers bruised, cut
and maimed by flying wreckage or
glass, iron and wood, bran hes of trees
slapping them in the laces. The mo
mentum of the first car was so great
that it continued on past the hig- stump
turned farther over, and finallv came to
a stop with the entire left side and
most of the seats swept clean, the roof
caved in and the floor bulging up.
The second car followed it and brought
np alongside ot the stump. The lead
ers checked the momentum of the third
car, fourth and fifth cars, which left
the embankment and turned paitly
over, but escaped the terrible punish
ment Inflicted on the first car. The
sixth from the engine lett the rails but
remained on the ties, the occupants es
caping with little more than a bad
scare. The seventh and last car was
the only one which remained on the
rails.
WON BY RELIANCE,
Shamrock III Badly Beaten In First of
International Race.
New York, Aug. 23. In a splendid
12 to 16-knot breeze, over a windward
and leeward course of 30-miles, the
gallant sloop Reliance yesterday beat
Shamrock III in commanding style, by
exactly nine minutes actnal time, or
seven minutes and three seconds, after
deducting the one minute and 67 sec
onds, which the defender concedes to
Sir Thomas Lipton'a third challenger
on account of Reliance's larger sailing
plan as at present measured.
It was a royal water fight for the
ancien( trcphy, which carries with it
the yachting supremacy ol the world,
and by a strange coincidence the first
victory in the cup series ol 1003 oc
cur re l on the 5 2d anniversary of the
day on which the old schooner Ameri
ca captured It in her famous race
around the Isle of Wight. The Reli
ance beat the British boat three min
utes 21 eoconda In the thresh to wind
ward, and five minutes 30 seconds in
the run down the wind.
Situation la Critical.
Sofia. Bnlagrla, Aug. 25. The gen
eral outlook in Macedonia shows no
signs of improvement, and the develop
ments in the next few days are awaited
here with the gravest anxiety. The
outbreak at Adrianople Is growing and
disturbances are also prevalent along

garian frontier. A dispatch from Dub

manian army, with a brigade of cavalry
from Bucharest, has been ordered to
march toward the Bu garian frontier,
ostensibly for maneuvers.
New CruUer Is Launched.

TROUBLE SPREADS
UPRISING IN MACEDONIA RGAC1IIN0
A CRITICAL kTAdfi.
Rebels are Very Active-Bulgaria li Now
Placed In n Delicate I'utltlon Clash
With Turkish Troops la I'eared When
They Arrive to Put Down Rebellion
Frontier (Juard Increastd.
Polls., Aug. 21. All the dispatches
received hero today Indicate that the
revolution In Macedonia is spreading.
Ihe situation is causing intenseauxlely
in official circles. The most alarming
news relates to an attack covering a
considerable area in the raatern part of
tha Adrlanople Vilayet, whero tho in
aurgents have captured the town ot
Vastllxo. They took the chief Turkish
officials prisoners, and brought them to
the Bulgarian frontier, where they lib
erated them. The Torklih officials
fearing to return to Vaalllko, sought
refuge with the Bulgarian authorities,
who sent them to n hotel In Burgas,
where they were at liberty to remain
or depart.
Tne insurgents burned the villages
around Vaalllko and attacked a Turk
ish military post at the monastery of
Klijah. The eastern part ol the Adrlan
ople Vilayet is a mount Inovia region,
and tho villages are few and scattered
l'he strength cl the insnrgeuts is un
known. It ia thought the outbreak is
not an organized movement, but la in
tended to draw the Turkish troops from
the other districts.
The peculiar danger of the latest out
break lie in its proximity to the Bul
garian frontier, thua creating a situa
tion long foreseen and dreaded hy the
Soda government. The Turks are now
certain to send a considerable force to
this territory to suppress the outbreak,
which will necessitate tho strengthen
ing of " the Bulgarian trocps along the
frontier. With the two armiea close
to each other, under the present
strained relations, the situation be
comes extremely despsiate. 'the Bul
garian government is taking every pos
sible step to prevent a commercial am
ity, but the officials express the gravest
concern.

Oregon Irrigation Sites Don't Look Uood
to Nencll.
Washington, Aug. 24. In bia first
annual report, made public today, F.
H. Newell, chief of the government re
clamation service, reviewing conditions
in Oregon, says:
"The localities where irrigation
work can proceed with the grea est ad
vantage have been selected already bv
tbe state under the Carey act, and it la
not deairab e to forestall state action In
tbe matter. Preliminay examinations
made so far up to December 31 show
that moat ot tbe reciamable land is so
situated that the projects must be
small and scattered, and little vacant
public land can be benefitted, further
examinations will doubtlesa reveal
many localities where work can be be
gun to advantage and persistent search
will Justify the expenditure of consider
able sums in construction of storage
and diversion works.
This presumption, it may be added.
has apparently been Justified, Judging
from the large number ol withdrawals
made under the irrigation act in hast
em Oregon during the past six months.
Mr. Newell recognizes the Justice of
maklog expenditures in Oregon in view
of the large contributions nf tbe alate
to the reclamation fund. "On the oth
er hand." he says, "the demand for
and immediate necessity of reclamation
works are not particularly noticeable.'
Cloudburst In Arizona.
Flagstaff, Ariz., Aug. 24. For the
second time this season a cloudburst
has swept over fields, roads and
bridges and driven thoie living in the
lowlands in this city from their homes.
Yesterday afternoon a wall of water
started down the mountains and across
tbe valley. The water was eight feet
high and more than 300 feet wide.
The torrent swept everything before it.
The flood struck Flagataff shortly after
dark, swirling through the streets in
the lower part of town, doing gieat
damage.
England About dives Up.
London, Aug. 24. All tho press com
ment here on .shamrock's performance
ovidences the growing conviction that
she Is incapa' le ol recapturing th
America's cup under any weather con
ditions. The afternoon newspapers
claim that the first race showed no'h.
ing of the respective merits of tho tw
boats, but thev admit that the perform
ance of the challenger did net fulfill
the expectations of her tahavior in a
light wind, and say that Captain Harr
seems to have shown smarter teaman
snip. Japan to Try for Cup.
New York, Aug. 24. If Lieutenant
Commander Isam Takeehira, of the
Japanese navy, carries out his nlans.
Japan will have a yacht in the next
contest for the America's cup. The
commander, who came here to see the
struggle between Shamrock III and
Itellance, declares he will interest
financial men In his country to prepare
at once for tho building ot a rarer' to
enter the next races. "We can build as
fine a boat as America," he said.

New York, Aug. 24. - TelegramB

a Herald dispatch finm L'ma, Peru.
An English company Is working mines
near this vein, which are producing 30

Yacht Race Unfinished In Time
Limit With Reliance Ahead.
Now York, Aug. 21. One ot tho
largest crowds til sightseers and yachts,
men that evoi aulied down to Sandy
Hook to witness an attempt of a tor
elgu ciphuntor to wtest from America
the yachting supremacy of tho woild
returned to Now Vcrk last night disap
pointed Kvause the sea had icfuscd n
Held ot combat to the racers. Never
theless, the crowd was jubilant lit tho
conviction that Sir Thomas Upton's
latest challenger, like the two Sham
rocks which had prrceoJed her, was
doomed to return to Kngliiud empty
handed.
Ot course tho laco yesterday was not
conclusive, owing to the light and
shitting character of tho ulr, but In n
15-mlle beat to windward, a portion of
which was aalled In a driving rain, the
cup defondor Reliance showed her heels
to tho Shamrock III in commanding
style, ami that, too, In weather con
ditions which were supposed to bo to
the ptrticular liking of the challenger.
The Shamrock did not turn the
outer mark, and there ia therefore, no
way of knowing absolutely how badly
'ie was beaten, but It was estimated
that she was more than a mile astern,
or about 111 minutes, in the existing
strength of tho wind, when the Reli
ance rounded.
As a result of the trial the ezpeits
believe, blow high or blow low, the
Reliance will win this, the 13th, series
for the America's cup.
Tho day was a mlserablo one. A
mist lay over the city and hay in the
morning, and when tho gieat fleet of
excursion steamers, steam yachts, tugs
and sailing vessels reached the starting
line, where the racers were already
Jockeying (or a position, threatening
clouds were gathering over the Jersey

miles southeast, straight down the
Jersey coast, and rMnrn.
