Tolstoi Expretset Great Disgust for Russian Parliament. Yazenya, Polania, July B. Count Leo Tolalol, in the course of an inter view today, aaid the Kuaaian parlia ment interested him very little. "It seems to me," Count Tolatoi aaid, "a if they were playing at grown-upa. " The proceelinga enow nothing new, nothing original, nothing Interesting. F.verything haa heen aaid hundreda of t'mei before. Our parlia ment reminds me of faahions In the provinces. I lata and gowns out of date in the t itles are sent to the interior, where they are eagerly worn under the impression that they are the lateat style. "It irritatoa me to see so-called re presentatives of the people, who are really helow the very claaaea whom they are supposed to represent, assume the task of aolving problems which wi'.l decide the fate of 140,000,000 human beings. The irrelevancy of the argu ments of the in em tiers and their blind eelf assurance and intolerance disgust me." ROOSEVELT'S SENTIMENTS. Tells Neighbors at Oyster Bay About Work of Past Year. Oyrter Bay, July 5. President Roost velt spoke to a gathering of his neighbors here today. The sentiments he expressed are summed up aa follows: When it becomes necessary to curb a great corporation, cuib it. I will do my best to help you. Hut I will do it in no spirit of anger or hatred to the men who own or control that corpora tion; and If any seek in their turn to do wrong to the men who own those corporations, I will turn and fight for them in defense of their rights, just aa hard an I fight against them when I think they are doing wrong. If the man is a decent man, whether well off or not well off, stand by him; if he is not a decent man, stand against him, if he be rich or poor. Stand against him in no spirit of vengeance, ' but only with the resolute purpose to make him act as decent citizens must act if this republic Is to be. Casinos Are Dismantled.

Vancouver, July .'I. Mill won over llarriman yesterday when Judge W. W. Mi Credie, of the Hupeilor court of Washington, decided that the Portland V Seattle railway had the right to con demn across the property of the Colum bia Valley railroad along the north bank of the Columbia river. The de cision is a sweeping one, and carries with it the settlement of an Important question in the struggle between the two roads. I'.oth have fought for the narrow siilp along the river's edge whereon a railway can be built. Both have been at work building grades pre paratory to laying rails. Hoth claimed certain points of conflict, the Columbia Valley by deed from the former owners, ami the Portland V Seattleby virtue of condemnation suits across the property of the rival corporation. Hy a decis ion allowing this right, if sustained hy the higUer courta of Washington, ap parently no harrier can be raised in the path of Hill that will prevent him from following his surveys down the Wash ington shore of the river. The derision announces that in case the Columbia Valley des res to build a railroad down the north bank, the court will extend the road full protec tion by allowing it to build a roadbed and track over the right of way parallel with the Portland A Seattle track aa surveyed, without compelling the llar riman road to reeondcMin, providing the Columbia Valley determines to build and does build within a reasona ble time. If the opposing road to the Hill line faila to build, then the Port land A Seattle is to have the full right of way for its own purposes. CANAL BOND SALE.

The Sun day closing law, enforcement of which has brought Governor Folk more prom inently before the public than any act since he became the state s chief exec utive, was declared inoperative, so far as cities of the second class are con cerned, by the Kansas City court of Appeals yesterday. The decision was made in the case of the state against William T. Kessels, a saloonkeeper of 8t. Joseph. The decision applies only to St. Joseph and cities of the second class. New Treaties With Bogota, Washington, July 4. Enrique Cor tes has been named Colombian minister to the United States to succeed Diego Mendoza. The State department had been advised by American Minister Barrett, at Bogota, that the appoint ment of Mr. Cortes means the initia tion of preliminary negotiations at Bo gota looking toward the framing of treaties between the United States and Colombia, intended to settle all dis putes.

RECOVER TWENTY-SEVEN BODIES Nearly All Were Americans Who Had Just Arrived on Steamer From New York. Salisbury, England, July 3. Driving at a mad pace over the London South western railway, the American Line Expreea, carrying 43 of the steamer New York's passengers from Plymouth to Iondon, plunged from the track jnat after passing the station here at 1 :57 o'clock this morning and mangied to death In Us wreckage 23 passengers, and four of the trainmen. Beside those to whom death came apeedily, a dor.en persona were injured, some of them seriously. The late hour of the New York's ar rival at Plymouth saved many lives. She carried more than 00 travelers for Ixmdon, but many of them elected to travel on comfortably to Southampton in preference to the late landing at Ply mouth an l the long night ride across the country. If the New York had made a faster passage the somber roster of the dead and injured would have been larger. The surviving passengers and train men describe the sound of the wreck as like the discharge of a series of heavy guns of varied caliber, and when the crashing of the wreck was past there came calls of the injured, some shriek ing with pain and fear and others moaning as if bewildered by the shock. Relief came quickly, although it was an hour Lefore the last body was dragged from the wreck. The police, attracted by the noise, called ambu lances and surgeons and warned the hospitals to prepare to receive the in jured. The railway yard quickly filled with police, doctors, nurses, trainmen and volunteers. The darkness and incredible destruc tion made tne work of rescue exceed ingly difficult. Lamps and torches were brought to light the desolate scene. The station was converted into a surgery and the platform was made a mortuary. LOOKING FOR GOOD MAN. Czar Finds Difficulty in Selecting New Prime Minister. St. Peteabug, July 3. No definite statement with reference to the retire ment of the Gortmykin cabinet was forthcoming today. Emperor Nicholas is apparently encountering trouble in finding a man to whom to intrust the reins of power and effecting an under standing with the Liberal groups of parliament. The Constitutional Democratic par liament committeo met this afternoon behind closed doors to discuss tactics under the situation. The Associated Press was informed after the meeting that the committee adhered to its for mer decision that nothing less than a fully responsible cabinet will be accept able, and that Constitutional Demo crats will refuse to take portfolios w anv mixed cabinet. The leaders scarcely expect that these terms will be accepted at present. In deed they have slight desire to shoulder the responsibility of government, when he country apparently is on the verge of a aeries of outbreaks and disorders. Their present plan is to adopt toward any new ministry the same tactics they have followed in tne past, the accept ance of what is good in the policy o' the government and unsparing iriti clam where that policy does not square with their ideas. The immediate pass age ot a vote of lack ol confidence is probable. It is stated that Minister of Interior Stolypin and Minister ot Finance Ko- kovaoff will submit to the lower house of parliament, probably tomorrow, a request for an appropriation of $50, 000,000 for famine relief. Sedition Spread Among Mexicans. Mexico City, July 3. Since"Gover- nor Ysabel, of Sonora, made his report on the Cananea outbreak, showing con clusively that seditions papers were be- ins circulated among the Mexican min ers in that mining camp, there has been renewed attention given the prop aganda, semi-socialistic in character, carried on among workingmen in the industrial centers by political intrigu ers seeking to take advantage of organ ization in various parts of the country of labor unions. These unions are quite legal in their construction. Mine Riots Are Expected. El Paso, Tex., July 3. Orders have been issued at Phoenix, Aris., to hold three companies of the Arizona Nation al Guard in readiness to proceed to Morenci and Clfton, Aris., where a strike is threatened in the mines. A strike occurred there three years ago with serious riots and United States troops had to be called out to quell them. There has been trouble in these camps for several weeks past, with sev eral minor strikes. Contest on Smoot's Seat. Washington, July 3. The question of the right of Reed Rmoot to retain his seat in the United States senate will be presented to that body the first day of the session in December. Chair man Burrows, of the committee on privileges and elections, so announced in the closing hours of the session lust closed, j CUTTING NEW CHANNEL. Colorado Flood Waters Now Flow Into Salton Sink. Imperial, (,al,. July 3. Hood water froin the Colorado river, finding Its way Into Halton Kink, has bem cutting a new channel about 30 feet deep through the flooded country at the rate of about a third of a mile a day. As the chan nel has proceeded it lias lessened the threatened serious damage to Calexico and Mexicali, the two towns on the in ternational line. Three or four days ago the river cut a channel across the line, passing Ca lexico at sufficient distance to relieve it from the pressure of water, but cut ting into the Mexican town to the ex tent that the Southern Pacific depot was undermined and fell into the stream. Three or four small adobe houses on the outskirts of the town have also gone into the water, but as yet the business portion remains intact. Whether the town v ill eecape further damage cannot now be told. There is also a bare possibility that Calexico may be damaged, though this is now believed improbable. Mexicali ia a town of about 500 in habitants, of neat appearance but of no large investments in buildings, the Southern Pacific railroad being the chief sufferer. Aside from the damage to these towns the water situation has seemed to improve from the standpoint of the Imperial valley. The flood aeaaon is believed to be drawing to a close and the Southern Pacific is accumulating a great force of teams and men on the lower Colorado with a view of turning the river back to its old channel when the water falls to the 20-foot level, which should be by July 20. WANTS WATER WORKS TOO. Standard Oil Not Content With San Francisco Gas Monopoly. San Francisco, July 3. The Bulletin today says: The Standard Oil company is preparing to invade the local water field and give battle to the Spring Val ley Water company, which has enjoyed a monopoly in San Francisco for more than 40 years. The Rockefeller con cern ia believed to be the purchaser of the Blue Lakes and Sierra Nevada Wa ter A Power company. The price agreed upon is said to be $5,000,000. Standard Oil already controls the gas situation here, having purchased the plant of the San Francisco GaB & Elec tric company. It is now proposed not only to give San F'rancisco a new water supply system, but also to furnish pow er for the gas corporation and poesibly to the United Railroads as well. It is also declared that the new system will supply Sacramento and Stockton, giv ing them light and power and a new water system. F. A. M artel I, president of the Sierra Nevada Water & Power company, rays he is not in a position to give out the names of the men with whom be is dealing, and he cannot at this time say whether or not the Rockefeller interests have acquired the property. MERELY UNDRILLED MOB. Salvador Openly Supporting Guate malan Revolutionists. San Franchc-, July 3. Among the passengers on the steamer City of Pana ma, which arrived today from the isth mus, was George W. Phelps, a railroad official from Guatemala. Mr. Phelps believes that President Cabrera will be able to hold his own against the revo lutionists, but this belief is not shared by bis fellow passengers. According to Phelps, Cabrera has 6, 000 trained troops in the western part of the republic. The other passengers refuse to dignify the Guatemalan army to the extent of calling them troops at all. "They are undersized and under drilled," said one passenger, "and if they meet any real opposition will melt like hail in the sunshine." When the City of Panama left San Jose it was understood that a division of the revolutionary army was crossing the Mexican border and that more rebel troops were pouring in from Sal vador. The officers of the City of Panama confirm the report brought by the City of Peking that Salvador was openly supporting the revolution, and was vir tually a war with Guatemala. Root to Visit South America. Washington, July 3. Secretary Root will accept the hospitality of Chile and make part of his trip along the west coast of South America in a Chilean warship. The United States cruiBer Charleston, on which Secretary Root will sail for South America, is too large a craft to work its way along the inside passage from the strait of Magellan to Valparaiso, Chile, and as a result Sec retary Root and his party will leave the Charleston at Sandy Point, in the strait of Magellan, and go aboard a Chilean man of war. Money for Jamestown Exposition. Washington, July 3. The Jamer town Tri-Centennial exposition will receive government aid amounting to $1,325,000, in addition to $50,000 ap propriate a year ago, as the result of the agreement by the senate and house ; on the sunudry civil bill. An item of $103,000 for the transportation of troops was struck out, but this expense will be paid from the appropriation of $12,000,000 in the army appropriation bill. Workmen Beat Government Spies.

When I recalled that It was Just atout time for the class of 1905 to be graduated from the MasBlevllle pub lic school I couldn't stand It any long er, and the next morning I had the unique distinction of being the only man In the world bound for Maaslevllle on a railroad train. That afternoon I left the train at a punktown station and hired a man to drive me over to Massle vllle, which always was and probably always will be alx miles from the rail road. "Well, on the way over to Masslevllle I spent every minute thinking about that graduating class of '79. There was 'Hump' Gore. 'Hump's' essay was a corker 'Altruism the Hope of a Great Republic.' That word 'altruism' waa knockout drops for the Tillage, and If there had ever been need of a ninyor In Masslevllle 'Hump' would have been It "I WAS THFBE." i'or springing the word.
