TRAINS COLLIDE.
Eighteen People Killed and Sixteen
Others Badly Injured.
Baltimore, Md., Juno 1!. Eighteen
persons are known to have leen killed
and a score more injured tonight in a
train wreck on the Western Maryland
railroad about a quarter of a mile from
Patapseo, a small station between
Westminster and Finksbnrg. Pas
senger train No. 5, westbound, was
running at a very high rate of speed
w hen at the point named it crashed in
to a double header freight running east.
All three of the engines were reduced to
scrap iron, two baggage and express
cars smashed and a number of the
freight cars splintered. The passenger
coaches sustained little injury and
almost without exception their occu
pants ecsaped with nothing worse than
a bad shaking up.
The fatalities occurred among the
crews of the engines and workmen em
ployed by the railroad. Not being teg
ular passengers they had boarded the
baggage cars and engine. Those in the
baggage cars were badly mangled and
the crews of all three engines were
killed outright.
The three coaches in the passenger
train remained on the track and none
of the passengers was seriously hurt,
all but a few escaping with a bad
shake-tv and bruises. As soon as
word of the accident was received a
special train with physicians was sent
out from here and by 9 o'clock the in
jured were being conveyed to hospitals.
The patients were distributed between
City hospital, St. Joseph's and others
near the railroad.
I'DON'T BE TOO HARD ON US.
Plea of Russian Papers to Japan
Some Suspect America.
St. Petersburg, June 19. The press
of all shades of opinion is discussing
Japan's probable terms and declares
with practical unanimity for a continu
ation of the war rather than the accept
ance of humiliating conditions. In
this the newspapers are upheld by pub
lic opinion, which is steering around
to support of the war policy if Japan's
terms prove too hard.
Only the Nashi Shisn advises Russia
that she need not balk at the payment
of an indemnity, the cession of the
Sakhalin islands, the renunciation of
her right to keep warships in Far East
ern waters or the surrender of Vladi
vostok, but the paper holds that Russia
must retain Northern Manchuria and
the Vladivostok railroad.
The Bourse Gazette draws a gloomy
picture of Russia s relations with
France, Great Britain, Germany and
Austria. The Novoe Vremya and the
reactionary Sviet sound notes against
the United States. The Novoe Vremya
reiterates that Russia's chief enemies
in the Far East are not the Japanese,
but the British and the Americans, on
account of their commercial rivalry,
while the Sviet objects to Washington
as the place of meeting of the pleni
potentiaries, declaring that the atmos
phere there is unfriendly, and asserting
that Russia's representatives will be
subjected to prejudical influences in
"the capitol of the enemy's ally."
BAD AIR IN THE SUBWAY.
Scientist States that Gases May Ex
plode as in Mines.
New York, June 19. Foulness of air
in the subway has reache 1 the satge
when the fainting of women is of al
most daily occurrence and the indica
tions are that as the summer advances
conditions will grow worse. Nicola
Tesla makes a statement that indicates
that tht poisonous character of the sub
way air is not its most dangerous
characteristic, but that it is really a
violently explosive union of gases that
may at any time cause such a catas
trophe as is occasionally reported from
deep mines. Tesla in his statement
says in part:
"The danger to which I refer lies in
the possibility of generating an explos
ive mixture by electrolytic decomposi
tion and thermic disassociation of
water through direct currents ued in
the operation of the cars. Such pro
cess might go on for hours ana days
without being noticed, and with cur
rents of this kind it is scarcely practi
cable to avoid i. altogether."
England Stands Ready.
London, June 19. It is probable that
the crisis that Germany is forcing upon
the nations of Europe will soon assume
a new phase. Every move thus far
made by the kaiser has been aimed at
France, although chielly designed to
damage British interests. The British
government has not the slightest desire
the shelter itself behind its more
exposed neighbor. There is . reason
to believe that Lord Lansdowne
will soon take occasion to make Eng
land's position clear and the direct
issue.
Yellow Fever in Panama.
Panama, June 19. The greatest ex
citement prevails here over the sudden
increase in the number of cases of yel
low fever which have been discovered.
Residents of the city as well as the la
borers of the isthmian canal are much
alarmed over the spread of the disease
that has been made recently. Samuel
Davis, a former detective sergeant of
New Y'ork, who was brought here by
President Amador to reorganize the po
lice force, died last night.
Big Pay for Wallace.
Panama, June 19. It is reported
that Chief Engineer G. F. Wallace, of
the canal commission, who left here
some time ago to go the United States,
may not return. It is said he has been
offered a position with a railway in the
United States that will pay him $0,
000 a year.
READY FOR A FIGHT
Oyama lias Russian Army Com
pletely Surrounded.
MAY PROVE SEDAN FOR RUSSIA
Before Peace Negotiations Can Begin,
Greatest Battle of the War
May be Fought.
Ixmdon, June 17. The practical cer
tainty now that the peace negotiations
cannot begin for another month leads
to the conviction that another battle
will be fought in the interval. Accord
ing to the Daily Telegraph's Tientsin
correspondent, a Japanese forward
movement has already commenced, in
spite of the rainy season.
The Daily Telegraph's Tokio cone
spondent gives an interesting idea of
tlie situation from a correspondent who
is said to 1h in a good position to know
the actual facts. This correspondent
says that the principal Russian depot
is at Gunshu Pass, whence many light
railways are being constructed north
ward to facilitate retreat. Lieutenant
General Linievitch, bewildered by the
ecrategy of the Japanese, is making
repeated reconnaissances and throwing
out innumerable scouts. Nevertheless,
at the present moment, the correspond
ent says, all his army is completely
enveloped.
FRANCE SAVED FROM WAR.
Delcasse's Resignation Prevented a
Conflict with Germany.
Paris, June 17. When M. Delcasso
resigned the potrfolio of the foreign
orfice a few davs ago, tiermanv and
France were on the verge of war. M.
Delcasse thought that Germany was
bluffing. Prime Minister Itouvier, re
membering 1870, believed otherwise.
Germany had been for some weeks
strengthening her garrisons nqar the
French frontier. France responded
with a similar move. The kaiser, ig
noring his own provocation, notified
France that, if she did not cease this
military movement, Germany would
consider it an unfriendly act. This, of
course, was equivalent to an ultima
tum, and M. Rouvier sent a concilia
tory reply.
Within a few hours after M. Del
casse s retirement, -U. liouvier made
certain representations to Russia
which had far greater influence upon
the czar's present course than even
Mr. Roosevelt's letter. M. Delcasse
had done everything in his power to
support the Russian policy and uphold
the alliance, and had refrained from
pressing advice, peaceful or otherwise,
on the czar's government.
M. Rouvier said to Russia, in effect.
that the vitial interests of France re
quired the czar to do something under
the terms of the alliance for her pro
tection against German aggression
It was imperative that Russia restore
her military strength on her western
frontier and be prepared to take an
active part in the campaign if France
were attacked.
DODGE IMMIGRATION LAW.
Inspectors Discover Men in London
Who Post Undesirables.
London, June 17. Marcus Braun
and Mr. Fischberg, the American in
spectors who have been inspecting the
emigration from Continental countries
to tlie United States, having concluded
their labors in Austria, Hungary and
Russian Poland, respectively, are now
looking up the conditions prevailing at
the embarking points of the big At
lantic liners.
Messrs. Braun and J-ischherg say
that the steamship companies have in
augurated a very strict inspection of
emigrants, but that even in London
persons claiming to be agents of the
companies are publishing guaranties to
secure the admission of any emigrant
to the United States for a few pounds
in addition to the fare. How the sub-
agents carry out this agreement is now
under investigation by the inspectors.
Klamath Fish Reserve.
Washington, June 17. President
Roosevelt has interested himself in
the establishment of a fisli preserve
along Spring creek and Williamson
river, on the Klamath Indian reserva
tion. Two engineers of the Relaxation
seivice who have been studying condi
tions in the Klamath basin discovered
that both these streams are well stock
ed with trout and afford fine sport in
season. They found, however, that
many Indian allotments were being
made along the banks of both streams,
and the fish were being exterminated.
Gould Must Pay His Architect.
New York, June 17. A verdic t for
Ahner J. Ilaydel, an architect, to re
cover $24,183 form Howard Gould for
services in drawing plans for the Gould
castle at Port Washington, L. I., was
awarded by a jury in the New York
state Supreme court at Mineola, L. I.
This amount represents about 24 per
cent of the original contract price of
$937,000, which it was estimated the
Gould castle would cost. Haydel had
sued for $60,000.
Russian Cruiser on Rampage.
London, June 17. The Singapore
correspondent of the Daily Mail says
that the Russian cruiser Rion left June
14 for Odessa, and that great uneasi
ness is felt for the safety of British
! shipping.
PEACE ENVOYS ARE NAMED.
Japan Announces Three, and Names
of Two Russians are Known.
St. Petersburg, June 10. There only
remain (Wing of the time of meeting
and the number of plenipotentiaries
for the peace conference with Japan.
Finding that Japan was not disposed to
accept Paris, w hich was Kiissia a tlrst
choice, or The Hague, which President
Roosevelt suggested, Russia readily
consented to the selection of Washing
ton. Japan, it la understood, also sig
nified that she would name three exalt
ed personages as plenipotentiaries, and
specific information here points to
Marquis Ito, Karon Komura, the min
ister of foreign affairs, and Marshal
Yamagata, chief of the general staff, as
plenipotentairies.
It is regarded as certain that two of
Russia's representatives will lx Huron
Rosen, who has been appointed to suc
ceed Count Cassini as ambassador at
Washington, ami M. Nelidoff, ambassa
dor at Paris. The name of M. Witte
continues to be li mentioned, but there
is no evidence that the emperor will
give him a brief to conduct negotia
tions. Considering hid well known
views against Russia's aggressive policy
in the Far East, the selection of M.
Witte would be regarded as tantamount
to an assurance that peace would U
the outcomhe.
The selection of Washington makes
it certain that several weeks must
elapse before the first meeting of the
negotiators is possible.
Unless President Roosevelt is able to
induce the belligerents in the mean
time to agree to an armistice, the fear
is general that the interim will witness
another bloody battle in Manchuria.
Russia, while she could not place her
self in the position of directly request
ing an armistice, might welcome it, if
the suggestion came from the president.
FOR CONFERENCE CITY.
Choice by Russia and Japan is Nar
rowed Down to Three.
Washington, June IS. Gradually
the negotiations for peace in the Far
East are Hearing a focus. The one
point to which the energies of those di
rectly concerned in them now are !eing
directed is the choice of a place for
holding the conference of the pIeniH
tentiarics of the belligerents.
It is known officially that three cities
are under consideration by Russia and
Japan. These cities, named in the
order of the likelihood of their final fl
ection, are Washington, The Hague
and Geneva.
Thus far no decision has been rcach
d. Paris and Ixmdon have been elim
inated from the question. It is under
stood that the Russian government ob
jects to an Asiatic city, its preference
being for some European capital. After
objecting to the holding of the confer
ence in Paris, the Japanese government
expressed a willingness to consider oth
er places which afforded adequate facil
ities, although it is assumed that Ja
pan's preference would be for some Far
Eastern city practically within the
theater of war. Finally, however, the
selection seems to havi narrowed down
to the three cities named.
NEW MOVES TO END STRIKE.
Hanrahan will Take a Hand Team
sters's Offer Rejected.
Chicago, June lf. While apparent
ly there was no surface change in the
strike today, a powerful agent for peuce
was at work. Grand Master J. G.
Hanrahan, of the P.rotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen, 'arrived in the city,
and after a conference witli Mayor
Dunne, announced that he would use
his good ollices to settle the strike.
Chairman John V. Farwell, Jr., of
the Employers association, declined to
consider a tentative strike settlement
proposition presented to him today by
the state board of arbitration.
The proposition was an offer that, if
the employers would agree to use all
honorable influence to have police and
deputy sheriffs and all armed guards
withdrawn immediately, the strike
would be declared off, even as to the
express companies, and that orders to
deliver anywhere would be obeyed by
the teamsters. The offer had the ap
proval ol President bhea and the na
tional executive board of the teamsters
Linievitch Takes Some Outposts.
St. Petersburg, June 10 In a dis
patch to the emperor, dated Juno 13,
General. Linievitch says the Russians,
after a fight June 11, occupied the vil
lages of Syfoiig-Toy, Chilipou anil
Chakhed.i. The same day another de
tachment approached the mines near
Chakhedzi,. A Japanese company evac
uated the mines and retired southward,
where it was reinforced by a battalion
of Japanese with quick-firing guns.
The Japanese detachment on tlie
darin road retired to a position
of Minhuagay.

Death Penalty Suggested.
Honolulu, June 16 Considerable at
tention has been attracted by a Chinese
poster, which has appeared in Kilo's
Asiatic quarter. It says that the Chin
ese government proposes to retaliate for
the American exclusion policy, and
that the government at Pekin will issue
an order against the purchase of Amer
ican goods, with a death penalty for
vioation of the order, and will proceed
to have Americans fumigated at the
port of entry and charged $5 per head.
i
Will Fight In Spite of Mud.
London, June 16. The Japanese
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph at
Moji, Japan, says: "The rainy season
has started in Manchuria, and the
mud in the roads is knee deep, but
this will not interfere with military
operations, glad tidings of which may
be expected within a few days.
OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
HIGH PRICE FOR WOOL.
Million and a Half Pounds Go Under
Sealed Bids at Shnniko.
Sbaniko The highest price paid for
wool In Eastern Oregon in 25 years was
(mid to the growers of this set t ion of
the state at the public auction sales
here last week. The sales were con
ducted on the sealed bids system, and
prices ranged from 21 to 24 cents tor
Merino wools. One small clip of cross
bred Lincoln wool sold for 20 14 cents.
These wools were formerly marketed
at The Dalles, but since the completion
of the railroad to this point sales have
been conducted here. The prices are
the highest paid this season at any
Eastern Oregon point, and Waco conn
ty maintains its reputation as the lead
ing wool market m the state.
The high prices which prevailed at
these sales are especially gratifying to
the growers, by reason of the fact that
their loyalty to the sealed bid system
has liecn rewarded by from 3 to 5 cents
per pound increase over prices paid
those who contracted earlier. Fully
three-fourths of the wools grown in the
state were contracted during the winter
add early in the spring, this section be
ing the only noticeable exception w here
the offers of tempting prices failed to
make serious inroads into the clip to be
marketed.
Local growers who held are highly
elated over the success of the public
sales, while the few who contracted
here are correspondingly sorry that
they diil not stand by the sealed bid
plan. The success of this year's public
sales firmly establishes the popularity
and proves the wisdom of the plan.
This being the only point in the state
where a large quantity of the choice
winds would be offered for sale on the
sealed bid plan, a large number of buy
ers were attracted to the sales, and 20
representatives of the leading wool
merchants and manufacturers in the
East and West were present.
SUIT BY ASYLUM AUTHORITIES.
Judse Galloway Sustains Demurrer by
Secretary of State.
Salem Judge Galloway has sustain
ed the demurrer to the writ in the
mandamus proceedings brought by asyl
um employes to compel Secretary of
State Dunbar to issue a warrant for the
amount of their monthly salaries.
Judge Galloway holds that the Kav law
paused in 1005, does not repeal the act
of 1901 which prohibits the secretary
from issuing a warrant when no appio
priation is available.
Under Judge Galloway's decision it
will be the duty of the secretary of
state to issue a certificate of allowance
and not a warrant for the amount of
the salary roll. In rccordance with
the plan already announced, a notice of
appeal was given and the question will
be presented before the Supreme court
as soon as ossihle.
Smelting Not the Only Plan.
Grunts Pass The big customs smelt
er projected for the Southern Oregon
district by Messrs. Fleck, Corliss, Wil
liams, Stiowgoose and others is now an
assured fact, and construction will be
gin this week. Articles of incorMira
tion have been filed for the Rogue Kiv-
er Mining, Smelting and Power com
pany. Smelting is not to be the only
object of the new company, which ex-
peels '.o put in a huge dam. Ibis,
with the 00-foot fall the river has at
Savage rupids, where the smelter i to
bo built, they feel sure, is capable of
generating at leat 45, (MM) horse power
lor irrigation and power purposes.
In 176 Feet on Buckeye,
Sumpter W. F. Kippen, who holds
the bond on the P.uckeye group, located
at the head of Little Cracker creek,
reports the lower drift started last sea
son as being now in 170 feet. He and
associate, Thomas Kennersly, have not
decided just where they will com
mence active work on the property.
The rich rock already located is still
showing up well, and Mr. Kippen has
in his possessoin the little gold brick
realized from panning only 17 ounces
of ore takeit a day or two ago from the
ledge.
Working on Owyhee Survey.
Vale Engineer Herbert E. Newell,
of the Reclamation service, now has a
force of men at work on the Owyhee',
where preliminary surveys in connec
tion with the proposed irrigation project
will be made this summer. It is stated
that the government is contemplating
the construction of two reserviors, as
it is claimed there are aliout 20,000
acres of valuable government land that
cannot be" covered by water from the
Harper basin project.
Covered by Inheritance Law.
Sulem Attorney General Crawford
holds that a conveyance of real proper
ty made to a man's children with the
reservation of possession until his
death, is an advancement within the
meaning of the inheritance tax law and
that the property is subject to the tax.
The opinion was rendered at the re
quest of the state treasurer in the mat
ter of the Johanna O'Brien estate.
Boring for Artesian Water.
Elgin For several weeks a crew has
been engaged in boring an artesian well
near Alicel. Work is under the super
vision of a contractor from San Fran
cisco. The well at this time is a little
over 700 feet in depth and as yet no
rock and but little water that will flow
has been found, but the work is still
being continued.
HARVEST OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT.
Little Grain In Clackamas Injured by
Continued Showers.
Oregon City Damage to fall grain,
which in localities has I n felled to
the ground, has resulted from the con
tinuous showers of the last wck.
(K'orge Ijielle, a farmer from New
Km, reports that the rains have low
eied to the ground an acre Held of his)
velvet chaff wheat, which he fears will
have to be cut for hay. This field wan
one of the finest pieces of grow ing grain
in the county, the stalks having attain
ed a height of six feet, and the grain
was well headed out.
Barring further unfavorable weather
conditions, the grain crop of Clackamas
county this year will be without prece
dent with respect to yield, Mr. Laelle
estimating that this field would have
produced between fill and till bushels to
the acre. The aphis pest appeared on
wheat and oats in some sections, but
not to the extent but that a few days
of waim weather will rid the grain of
the destructive visitor.
Except unfavorable weather inter
feres with the harvest, the yield of hay
in this county this year w ill be a rec
ord breaker, the stand of grass being
exceptionally heavy slid of fine quality.
AUTO LINE IN VALLEY.
Connecting Link Established Between
Independence and Salem.
Indepvudeuce An automobile line
has I een put on between Independence
and Salem. There is a missing link of
12 miles let ween these two jHtints in,
the transportation facilities of the val
ley. For years then has been talk of a
motor connecting the Southern Pacific
lines on the East and West sides. Tin
spring the roads have been improved
and the automobile brought the solu
tion. Local capital at Independence and
Salem has had the matter under con
sideration. A surprise was sprung w hen
a ten-seat hotel bus machine was put on
the run by the Oregon Suburban Auto
company. It is understood tin Oroogit
City Transportation company is largely
concerned in the movement.
A regular schedule w ill he announced
shorty. It is the purpose to connect as
closey as possible with Southern pMcitlc
trains at Salem and the motor cars
here.

Sumpter A prominent mining ex
pert is here this week from Philadel
phia for the purpose of inspecting the
Golden Chariot and Orleans groups.
The first named is located near here
and the hitler in close proximity to
the (iolconda. Senator Fiilche, of
Pennsylvania, is interested in these
properties to such an extent as to con
sider them worthy of investigation, and
on the result of the expert's report will
depend whether lie and asoiciates will
take hold of the mines and develop
them to a producing stage.
Salmon Reach the McKenzie.
Salem According to reports that
have Ix-en received bv Master Fish
Warden II. G. Vbii Dusen, the McKen
zie river is full of salmon, this condi
tion evidently having been brought
about by the construction of a good fish
way over the falls at Oregon City. Mr.
an Dusen is inclined to think the re
ports are exaggerated, but he is pleased
with the outlook and has placed rocks
in the river just below Gate creek, ami
hopes to take a large number of salmon
for hatchery purposes.
