According to offi cial Information, thirty persons were killed and sixty others seriously in jured. Many of the latter w ill die. Of the 300 passengers on the train, it is staled that only six escaped unhurt. The train, which was composed of two engines and 16 coaches, was cross ing the bridge, when the couplings broke between tbe engines. The sec ond engine left tbe track and fell, fol lowed by the entire train, into the bed of the river. Fortunately, the wat er was low. Tbe nearest medical attendance was a m ile and a half distant, and tbore passengers who were least injured aid ed the others and did all possible until the arrival of relief trains bringing nurses, doctors and soldiers from B il bao. Tbe train fell fifty feet from the bridge to the river bed, the ooaches pil ing up in a mass,of splintered wood and iron-work. The scene is described as horrifying. Many oorpses were car ried down the stream, which was ac tually reddened with blood. I t was found impossible to extricate numbers of the injured who were pin ioned under tbe wreckage. A railway guard was arrested in the act of rob bing tbe dead and narrowly escaped lynching. I t is believed that the official figures underestimate the number of killed, some accounts giving the number of deed as 100. The full extent of the catastrophe w ill b e known only when the wreckage has been cleared waay. The latest dispatches from 8ara- esa. near which place the catastro phe occurred, give the number o f dead as 90 and the injured as 100. The res cue of the injured from the debris it> not yet completed. COMET HAS T W O TAILS. Observations Mads at the sk oorvotory. Lick Ob- ,•— I San Jose, Oal..

Washington, June 30.— A matter of a good deal of importance has come to the attention of the department of agri culture. A shipment of balls for breeding purposes has recently gone from Indiana to Argentina, in Booth America. They developed foot and month disease before they got there. Nothing of this kind axi-ta in Indiana, nor anywhere along the 'In# of travel to New York, from which port the ani mals were shipped. They unquestion ably contracted tbe disease on board tbe veesel that has been bringing wool from Argentina to the United States. The department has reliable informa tion that foot and month disease not only exists in Argentina, bat has exist ad tbeip for a considerable ti me. Sheep are jnst as liable to this dl cattle. Tbe question presented to the depart ment is whether H w ill stop tbe impor tation of wool from Argentina aad such other countries as have fopt and month disease. The department w ill make oaruful inquiry into this subject. Two propositions are presented. One is tbe shotting out of wool from these conn- tries altogether; the other is the porti- b ility of dlsenfeetihg e t our own ports. I f exhaustive inquiry into the conn- tries from which hides oome shows that we aie in grave danger of getting foot and mouth' disease from these countries, one or two things w ill bo im perhtive, vis: Importation ne stopped, or that such disinfection be had as w ill prevent the poeeibility of our getting this disease. — SYNDICATE BUYS M INES. Qro«o<! Between Heppner and Lexington W ill Be Covered. Heppner, Or., Joly 1. — Another body was todsy added to the number found. This was the body of a woman dragged froifi the mud and slim# o f a deep paddle of water in front of the residence of W illiam Dutton, two. miles below town. Though badly de composed tbe corpse was identified ss that of Mrs. Clarence Andiews, a mem ber of the ill-fated fam ily of George Swaggert. Searchers were attracted to tlie place by tbe noiseme odors and found tbe body partly exposed. Yesterday tbe executive committee went over the ground between H ep pner and Lexington, to note the prog- reea o f the worm of search and decide upon future plans. The result wes that all men were called in and paid off, then three crews of ten picked men each were selected and sent back to go over the searched territory a second time. A ll cases of need have been relieved temporarily, and Mrs. Britton, who has had charge of emergency work, leaves for her home at The Dalles to morrow. Contributions continue to arrive.

INATION IS DUPED FREE SEED MAN QIVES GOVERNMENT SHORT WEIGHT» $18,000 Yet Due ea Contract, W hich to $108,000. Washington, Jane 29.— In the case of the N ellis sead contract suit before- the coart of claims, t an affidavit by Charles KingMey, of Falls Ohnrch, Virginia, has beSto made public, alleg ing that A . G. Nellis, of N ew York, who had the contract for furnishing seed ready for distribution to the gov ernment two years ago, directed that, no books were to be kept, and the packages should be lightweight. The legal representatives of Nellie are su ing for the payment of $18,000 which Secretary Wilson withheld from the oontract payment for alleged non-per formance fo oon tract. The fo il amount of the contract was $108,000. Secretary Wilson mid tonight the $18,000 wee withheld as the result of an inquiry into the work ot the con tractor at the time, and that the gov ernment is still'in possession of Nellis^ bond for $85,000. Mr. Wilson said that he bad directed that the seed con tract- and its execution be probed to Iffielmttom, and that tbe investigation had not implicated any one in the gov ernment employ.
