TIPTY LIVES LOST.
Pirsscnncr Trains fleet Head-On
Tennessee.
Knoxvlllc, Tenn., Sep. 27. Run
ning on n roadbed In a supposedly
high condition of maintenance, nnd
having nbout them every safeguard
known to n modern railroad, two
.trains on tho Southern Railway car
rylng heavy lists of passengers met
head-on near Hodges, Tenn., sending
B0 peoplo to death nnd Injuring 130.
several of whom will probably die.
Somo of tho bodies havo not yet been
recovered, nnd many remain unidenti
fied. This appalling loss of llfo and
ranlmlng of tho living resulted appar
ently from tho disregarding of orders
given to tho two trains to meet at a
station which has for n long tlmo
been their regular meeting-point.
This nctlon on tho part of tho engi
neer of tho westbound train Is made
more Inexpllcablo by the fact thnt tho
accident happened In broad daylight,
and according to tho best Information
obtainable he had tho order In a lit
tle frame In front of him as his en
gine rushed by the station, nnd n mile
and a half further on enmo upon nn
enstbound passenger train. Tho pos
sibility exists that tho engineer may
have been asleep.
Tho trains were on time, and not
mnklng over 35 miles nn hour, yet
tho Impact as they rounded a eurv
nnd came suddenly upon each other
was frightful, noth engines and tho
major portions of both trains wcrp d
mollshed, and why the orders were
disregarded or misinterpreted will
probably never bo known, ns tho en
glneers of tho two trains were crush
ed, their bodies remaining for hours

Janitor Warned Board.
Cincinnati, Sept. 27. Of those res
cued from the Pleasant Ridge School
accident, three are In a critical con
dition. The mayor and members of
tho school board havo raised by sub
scriptions almost $1000 for families of
tho victims. Several mothers aro
prostrated. Henry Swift, formerly
janitor, today repeated tils statement
that tho floor partially caved In two
years ago, when ho laid additional
boards on tho floor, and that the
members of tho board disregarded his
warning.
Cincinnati, Sept. 20. At least nine
school girls woro suffocated in n vault
today during tho afternoon recces t
Pleasant Ridge public school house, and
an score of others narrowly escaped
the same horrible death.
All of tho victims were from the
primary grades. On opposite sides of
tho spacious grounds in tho rear o( the
suburban school building nru two out
homes. At recess, about 30 young
gills were In the outhouse assigned to
them, when the tloor gave way pre
cipitating them in tho stone walled
cesspool, 12 feet deep, and containing
four feet of sewage.
Tho frantic struggles of those who
were on lop kept at least nine under
neath until they were dead. The
frame shed over the sewer was about
20 feet iquate, without windows, and
had only one narrow doorway. One
girl in the party escaped falling. She
ran into tho school building and told
the teachers what had happened.
Principal T. L. Zimmerman and seven
female teachcis ran to the rescue. Mr.
Zimmerman secured a ladder, on which
tho drenched girls climbed out, most
of them fainting as soon as they
reached tho surface, overcome by flight
and sewer gas.
The teachers were soon reinforced
by tho entire population of tho sub
urbs, the police nnd tire departments
rendering effectivo service.
Principal Zimmerman finally fainted.
Then others lifted out dead bodies un
til the death pool was cleaied. Those
icscued alive presented such an appear
ance as to make many in tbe crowd of
tpectatois faint.
James Smith, aged 14, a pupil.
climbed to the roof of the school house
and got the flag which was made into
a rope thnt rescued several.
John Steinkamp, when his daughter
was not among those brought out nlive,
entered the vault and carried out sev
eral bodies, among them that of his
daughter. Then he fainted. At the
same time there were other parents in
the crowd who fainted when it was
announced that all ot the living had
been rescued, and their children weie
still among the missing.

NEW LAND POLICY.
CHINA HAS APOLOGIZED.
Reparation Made for Attach on
Guard at Pekin.
the
Paris, Sept. 20. The foreign office
has received a report from the French
minister at Pekin saying thnt China
has given the most complete apology
and reparation for the nttack of Chi
nese soldiers at Pekin upon Captain
Larihe, of the French legation guard,
on -Monday last. The captain was in
suited and struck with a stick, but he
was not seriously hurt. Tho Frencli
minister energetically protested to tho
general commanding the Chinese, who
wrote tbe minister an abject apology
while the Chinese captain commanding
the assaulting soldiers, made a personal
apology to Captain I-arlbe.
The Chinese general condemned the
five ringleaders to punishment only one
degree short ot deatb. Owing to the
action of the general, the ollicials here
do not consider that this incident and
the assault on the Kalian soldiers Sep
tember 16 indicate another general
anti-foreign movement. Therefore the
reparations have been accepted and the
Incident Is closed.
Tracts Withdrawn Will Not lie Sold
as Soon as Restored.
Washington, Sept. 24. Iho scire
taiy of the interior has ordered restor
ed to entry a portion ol the lands in
Skagit nnd Whatrom counties, Wash
Igton. that were temorarily withdrawn
In December, 1002, with a view to en
larging the Washington lorest reserve
on tho west side. These lands were
examined by tho forestry bureau and
found unsuitable lor forest reserve pur
poses. Some are agiicultuial in char
acter, son o grazing lands, but a con
siderable area is valuable for its tim
ber. The reason tho titnlter lands are
to be turned back to the public domain
is because they are isolated tracts, lo
cated among lands now in private
ownership. It would not Ihj practica
ble to reserve them without rcaervlng
tho adjoining private lauds, and this
policy is not favored.
In restoring these lands to entry the
interior department is adopting a new
po'icy. Theso and all cither lands
hereafter restored to entry will not be
come subject to settlement immediate
ly, but will bo advertised for U0 days.
This is to give every one an equal
chance to take up new ly opened lands,
nnd to preu-nt any one getting unfair
advantage. This waB not done in the
case of tlie Blue mountain lands restored
in Oregon, but tho rule will heieufter
apply to all lands eliminated Irom
withdrawals, as well as lands which
ate cut out of established reserves.

Philippines Out 4 1 ,294,039 as Re
suit of Pluctuations in Silver,
Washington, Sept 24. Tho bureau
of insular affairs ol the war depart
ment in its review and final audit of
the finances of tho Philippine govern
ment has definitely fixed the loni sub
tained by the insular treasury, up
June 30, 1003, due to tho fluctuating
valne of the silver currencry in genera
circulation in the islands until a recen
date at 11,204,080.
This h-ss to tho insular government
was brought about largely by tho fact
that when silver was dear Mexican dot
lars were almost exclusively offered for
payment of government due, hut when
silver was cheap nnd tho Mexicans
ovei valued comparatively little was
offered in payment of dues, and credit
ors of the government sought by every
meanns possible to obtain tenement by
trie government in -Mexican money
fn this way silver money won d be
taken in at a high rate of exchange to
gold and paid out at a much lower rate
than received.
Under the new colnago act, which Is
now in successful operation, Mexican
money Is no longer receipable for pub
lic dues.
