Washington, Bept. 30.— “ Contrary
to what appears to be a popular belief,
there is a steadily growing sentiment
among tne people of Oregon in favor of
foreet reserves,” said H. D. Langllle,
tbe Oregon man who is now forest in­
spector in tbe bureau of forestry, and
who haa just returned from a Bummer
spent in examining lands that have
been withdrawn in that state.
“ I spent a large part of the summer
conferring with people living in tbe vi­
cinity of various withdrawals,”
he
continued, "and I find they generally
indorse the reserve policy, and want
more reserves established in Oregon. I
talked to farmers, to lumbermen, to
stockmen, and, in fact, to all classes,
and the overwhelminbg sentiment fav­
orable to the reeerve policy was very
gratifying.”
Mr. Langllle spent several weeks in
the Rogue river country and the re­
mainder of the season in the vicinity of
the other withdrawals in Oregon, save
that in the Blue mountains, which be
visited a year ago. In Southwestern
Oregon he found the people divided,
half favoring a reserve, halt opposing.
In Eastern Oregon, the sentiment was
strongly in favor oi new reserves at all
localities where withdrawals have
been made.
He believes the examinations made
this year by the various representatives
of the bureau of forestry who have been
in Oregon, will furnish sufficient data
to guide the secretary of tbe interior in
marking the boundaries of thepropcsed
new reserve*.______________

IN HANDS OF MOB
Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 30.— The situ­
ation here ¡ b much brighter today, and
the war clouds appear to have lifted.
The porte’ s assurance that the 32 oat
talions recently ordered to proceed from
Monastir to Adrianople w ill not be
moved has lessened the apprehensions
of the Bulgarian government. Further
satisfaction is derived from the fact
that M. Natobovitch is going >.o Con­
stantinople in the capacity of Bulgarian
diplomatic agent.
He conducted the
negotians with the porte last June, and
after their failure returned to Sofia.
The committee appointed for the pur
pose at the lime of yesterday’s demon­

tended to do anything to help the Mac­
edonians. M. Petroff replied the min­
istry was acting in what it conceived to
be the best interests of Bulgaria, and
would continue the same policy. The
spokesman oi the committee told the
premier his reply would not be satisfeat-
ory to the people, and the committee
thereupon withdrew.
The Dnevnik, commenting on the
situation, says:
"Although the Bulgarians remain
quiet, it is not a true indication of the
national feelings, but it is owing to the
approaching elections.”
The paper adds it w ill "n o t be long

MAD RUSH TO DEATH.
South Carolina Train Strikes Curve at
Very High Speed.
Charlotte, 8. C., Bept. 30.— While
running at a high rate of speed, a
south-bound fast mail train on the
Southern Railway jumped from a tres­
tle 75 feet high, north of Nanville, W.
Va., this afternoon and was almost de­
molished. Of tbe crew of 16 men, in­
cluding mail-carriers, nine were killed
and seven injured.
The trestle where the accident oc­
curred is 600 feet long and is on a
sharp curve.
Engineer Brodie, who
was a new man on that division, came
to the curve at high speed.
The locomotive had only gone about
50 feet when it sprang from the track,
carrying with it four mail cars and an
express car. The trestle, a wroden
structure, also gave way for a space of
50 feet. At the foot of the trestle is a
shallow stream with a rocky bottom.
Striking this, the locomotive and cars
were’ reduced to a mass of twisted iron
and steel and pieces of splintered wood
A ll the dead men were mutilated.
No one on any of the cars badjmade an
effort to jump, and the bodies of all
those killed were found in the wiecx-
age of the different cars to which they
had been engaged. A crowd soon gath
ered.
Some women among them
fainted at sight of tbs crushed bodies.

car was destroyed.

Sanlt Ste. Marie, Mich., 8ept. 80.—
The Canadian Soo has been tbe scene
of serious riotiDg by tbe discharged em­
ployes of tbe Consolidated Lake 8nper-
ior Company all day and tonight the
situation it very grave.
Trouble came when the company put
tbe men off the premises when they de­
manded their promised pay. The labor-
ere broke away from all restraint the
large force of special police could exert,
and smashed every window in the msg-
nifleent building of the company In the

cars and demanded that tbe conductors
and motormen join them, and were
only prevented from doing fnrther dam­
age by a clever ruse of one of the com­
pany’s', officials, who turned in a fire
alarm to divert attention.“ C3£^5..-.-Aj
fn the assanlt upon tbe office build­
ing by the mob early this afternoon
before the arrival on the ground of
troops, the frenzied rioters secured pos­
session of the ground floor of the build­
ing, destroying everything movable
that came in their path. A crowd of
tbe office staff, with drawn revolvers,
prevented tbeir gaining access to the
upper floors cf tbe building.
The arrival o I troops on the ground
armed with ball cartrides about 2
o’clock this afternoon served to restore
some semblance of order. The rioters
then contented themselves with throw­
ing stones at the building and hurling
invectives at the soldiers, who estab­
lis h e d ^ “ dead line” and prevented
any approach towaid the building by
any oi the rioters.
The greatest number of tbe men are
ignorant Italians, Finns, Norwegians
and Frenchmen, the latter perhaps the
hardest of all to handle. A ll have

DYNAMITERS W ANT MONEY.
Demand $50,000 From Northern Pacific
for Immunity From Outrages.
Helena, Mont., 8ept. 30.— I t has de­
veloped that tbe rceent attempts to dy­
namite bridges and track on the line cf
the Northern Pacific between Livings­
ton and Missonla are in furtherance of
a plot to force tbe railway company to
pay (60,000 (or immnnity from tbe
outrages.
In August the company received a
letter demanding $26,000 and it was
threatened if the terms proposed were
not agreed to dynamite would be used
on the Hue. No attention was paid to
the demand, and shortly after, the rail­
road bridge at Livingston was partially
wrecked by dynamite, and a lew nights
later another stick of dynamite was ex­
ploded near Bozeman under a passing
train.
Other letters followed, and the dyna­
miters proposed that the company pay
$60,000 and if it acceeded to the de­
mand it was to carry a white flag on
engines hauling trains and September
22 was to ran a light engine from Butte
to Missoula, and at a point on the road
was to atop on signal, and an agent of
the company waa to pay over the
money.
The company, hoping to catch the
men, pat out the white flags and on the
night agreed upon ran the light engine.
Behind it followed another engine pnl|.
ing two cars. One was filled with
armed ¡sheriffs and deputies and the
other contained horses and blood­
hounds. The run was made from Butte
to Missoula, but there was no signal,
and it was thought the men had been
scared off.
Soon after, the letters began to ar­
rive again, tbe dynamiters making the
same demand and telling the railroad
if it agreed to the terms to put the flag
on the engines.
This the railroad
company ha« not done and in the past
two weeks there have oeen four at­
tempts to damage the line by tbe use
of dynamite.
Firebug at 1904 Fair.
Bt. Louis, Sept. 30.— It i« Delieved
that an attempt was made late last
night to burn tbe agricultural building
at the world’ s fair, one of the largest
exhibit structures now in tbe course cf
erection there. Abont 10 o’ clock one
of the Jefferson guards observed a man
acting suspiciouslv about the building.
He attempted to arreet the man, who
escaped, although eeveral shots were
fired at him. Guards thoroughly in­
spected the bnilding and near one of
the walls found straw and kindling
