Two men were killed and a score Injured, half of them fatally, in a cyclone to-day, during which a train was blown from the track. The killed are: Palmalia Dempsey of Missouri and Frederick McClellan of Eldorado, III , Among the score of injured only the following names could be obtained: Baggage-roaster Coyle, badly bruised; ' Davis, Eldorado, leg broken ; Dex ter, Centertown, O.j internally injured) VY.

Millen, earning, Ark.. badly bruised. , It was 3 o'clock to-day when the west bound express on the Iron Mountain road was struck oya cyclone, ana trie result was one of the most serious wrecks ever known on the system. The train was in charge of Conductor Jack Lower and Engineer Andy Hill. It had ust reached the limits oi the city when the passengers and. crow noticed the ap proach of a funnei-shaped cloud that was dealing destruction to everything in its path, uprooting trees and hurling missiles before it. The train and the cyclone met, and the wind lifted the entire train of coaches and landed them a distance of twenty feet from the track, almost turning them over. Those who were not hurt seriously had to free them selves and rescue the others less fortu nate. Efforts were made in this direc tion, when a new danger presented it self. Flames were Been in the rear car, and only for the heroic action of -Brake- man Uartweu an even worse catastropne might have been recorded. He hastily secured a heavy piece of timber and bat tered down the car door, rushed in and extinguished the flames. Near by were a woman and little child afire, and hastily catching them, he extinguished the fire, but not until both had been severely burned. A little fellow 2 years old is supposed to have fallen out of the window when tne train ovennrnea. rie was dead, havine been fatally bruised. Aside from the train and passengers the damage done by the cyclone seems to have been purely local, anu was biikiiu Its path was not over thirty yards wide; and did not extend more than a mile.

EQUAL BIGHTS ASKED. Beaion Whj the Tranoontlnental Line Have Failed. St. Paul, 8eptember 11-An official of the Great Northern to-night gave the pr,esB the following statement of inside facts of the recent unsuccessful attempt to' reorganise the Transcontinental As sociation.' The representatives of the transcontinental lines adjourned Satur day night without having made any de cided progress in the formation of an as sociation. The ' Oregon Railway and Navigation Company was asked to. be come a member of the association, which was to be established for the maintenance of rates. The road signified its willing ness, ana was represented at the meet ing, but requested before an organiz ation was made that it be placed on terms oi equality with the other trans' continental lines by an equal represen tation of tickets with the Southern Pa cific that other lines through Portland enjoyed, claiming the right in connection with its steamship lines to make the same rates through Portland as were made by the Pacific Steamship Company through Seattle. It did not ask for dif ferential fares, but simply for equal rates. The Southern Pacific Company declined to interchange traffic with the Uregon Railway ana Navigation Company un less it would agree to maintain by its water routes the same rates as made by the Southern Pacific over its Shasta route and ignore the competition of the Pacific Steamship Company through Seattle. The Orezon Railway and Navi gation deemed this proposition unfair, ana aecunea to loin in any agreement till it was placedon terms of equality with the other roads represented at the meeting. The position of the Oregon Railway and Navigation was fully in dorsed by the Great Northern, with which the Uregon Kailwav and Naviga tion has recently made arrangements for an interchange ot tramc through Spo kane. THE KILLING MUST STOP. Otherwise the Seal Will Soon be Ex terminated. Sa Francibco, September 14. J. Stanley Brown, special United States Treasury agent for the seal islands, has arrived from Pribyloff Islands after an absence of several months. He was ac companied by several other agents. He says the seals were in good condition this year, and the weather was not unusually unpleasant. The continued taking of seals in the open sea is tending steadily to reduce the seals, unless a stop is put to this seal-killing at sea the number of seals that annually visit the islands will be greatly reduced, "lhe contractors killed this year," said Brown, " about 16,000 of the 20,000 that the government permits to be taken from the rookeries Besides these sealers who were taking seals in the open sea killed 30,000. These are far too many. At this rate the seals will be exterminated. It should be re membered that, while the government does not permit the taking of any but mmature males from the rookeries, the mariners who go after seals in the open sea kill males and females lndiscrimi nately. At present the killing of seals in the open sea cannot be under the laws entirely prohibited. It is not poaching, for hunters do not come upon the islands or within a marine league of them. At least this is not the rule, it is very for tunate that Assistant becretary Hamlin visited the sealing grounds this year. He worked very hard to gain an exact knowledge of the conditions. This was just what we, who have been visiting the ' i . r . J : i r : i . isianas lor yeans, ueeireu. uue iiiigut write and speak incessantly, but he could not depict all the facts as they ex ist. Mr. Hamlin is a high official, and now he thoroughly understands the situ ation. His report is certain to be a very important and interesting document." 8TOOD IN WITH THIEVES. What the Leaow Inve. titration . Bring ing to Light. New York, September 11. The in vestigation of the police department was resumed to-day by the Lexow commit tee of the State Senate. Mr. Goff was inquisitor-in-chief. He first stretched Detective Sergeant Charles A. Hanley upon the rack. The handsome gold watch which Hanley carried served for a text for boll's interrogations, which were directed to showing the police were upon too friendly terms with the pawn brokers for the good of the public, and that it was not uncommon for pawn brokers to sell officers valuable articles at ridiculously low prices. Golf also questioned Hanley as to his relations t: if.v.ii li u. " lireen-uooas Jim." the interrogations implying the thief taker had accepted gifts at the hands of the man whom he denounced as a thief. The detective was asked if he ever received money from McNally, and made an equivocal answer, This was followed by the question if he had not received from McJNaiiy two handsome banquet lamps. His reply was: .. "I don't know anything about the lamps. My wile got them." Want to Sell the Property. 8an Fbancibco, September 10. The State Board of Prison Directors are planning to place the State property at San Quentin upon the market and build a new prison at Folsora with the pro ceeds. They have made a recommenda tion to that . effect to the Governor and Legislature. The San Quentin property comprises 118 acres. Objection is made to San Quentin because its accessibility enables persons to land liquor, arms and opium for contraband distribution among the prisoners. The directors be lieve the San Quentin property could be turned into residence lota and sold for (3,000 an acre. JAPAN AND COREA They Enter Into an Offensive and Defensive Alliance. CHINESE TO BE DRIVEN OUT. The Mikado Will Do the Fighting and Coren Wilt Sell the Army Garden Track at Market Bate Ac.uranee of Autonomy to Corea. Washington, f-eptember 12. A tele gram was received at the Japanes lega tion this afternoon that a treaty had been negotiated . between Corea and Japan, which authoritatively defines the relations of the the two countries toward each other and toward China. ' The object of the treaty is stated in the preamble to be the mutual desire on the part of the Emperor of Japan and the King of Corea to definitely fix and deter mine the attitude of each country toward the other, with a view to clearly eluci dating the existing relations between Japan and Uorea, which have been cre ated by the request which the Corean government has made to the Japanese government to compel the Chinese to evacuate Corea. To require concerted action for the more effective accomplish ment of this object the treaty of alliance between the two countries was signed at Seoul August 26 by Oteri, the envoy of Japan, and the Corean Minister of For eign Affairs. The treaty consists of three articles. Article 1 defines the object f the alliance to be the strengthening and perpetuating of the independence of Corea as an autonomous State and the promotion of the mutual interests of Japan and Corea by compelling the Chi nese forces to withdraw from Corea and bv obliging China to abandon her claim to the right to dominate the affairs of the country. Article binds the Japan ese government to carry on warlike operations against China, both offensive and defensive, lhe Uorean government is bound by the article to afford the Japanese forces every possible facility in their movements and to furnish them with supplies of provisions at a fair re muneration so far as such supplies may be needed. By article 3 it is provided that the treaty shall terminate so soon as a treaty of peace shall have been con eluded by Japan with China. Air. Kurino, the Japanese Minister, said to-day regarding the new treaty be tween Japan and ixrea: We have nothing but the announce ment of the telegram, but my inference from its terms is that it will prove ad' vantageous to Corea. There has existed there under Chinese auspices the most corrupt system of government known lhe constant intrigues of lbina there have been a threat to the peace of the East. The Japanese government has decided the settlement of this question on terms of peace to the East. It has done so without expectation ot territo rial aggrandizement or exercise of suzer ainty of Corea. With the assurance of autonomy to Corea. which is the design of this treaty, there will be an opportu mtv lor great improvement in her eys tern of government, internal administra tion and other affairs. Already she has advanced from a condition of the rule of an individual influenced by China, and has a Cabinet of six members and a Prime Minister, to whom the ruler looks for advice and guidance. This change was made under advice of the Japanese representative at Seoul- He said he did not think the treaty could be called a step toward the peace ful settlement with China. China might, he said, have put an end to the difficul ties before now by consenting to some improvements in iorean auairu. lue improvement tn government institutions in Corea, he admitted, requires foreign advisers and counselors, and these might be Japanese or might be other foreign . rt - of i rrl ers. He did not admit the termination of the present treaty by making peace with China could open the way lor a re vival of the old Japanese claim of suzer ainty, which, he said, Japan had ex pressly relinquished, lor it would put herself in as bad a position as China by renewing. "Corea under the inadequate govern ment that China gives her," he says, is weak, and other governments, such as Russia, are constantly threatening to come in and seize a portion of her terri tory and thus cause war in the i-.ast. a guarantee of her autonomy will- guard against this. All great powers will be interested in protecting her irom outside attacks." WAR NEWS HARD TO OET. Yokohama. September 12. The Mi kado and several of his Ministers will go to-morrow night to Hiroscbima, the em barking place of the Japanese troops sent to Corea. The headquarters of the Mikado will be transferred to Hiroschima after that date. Authentic news of the war cannot be obtained. The native press is subject to vigorous censorship, and reporters of foreign papers are not allowed to approach the seat of war. It is also impossible to transmit private advices in regard to the warlike opera' tions, as the telegraph lines and mail routeB are controlled by the government, New Panama Scheme. London, September 12. The Stand ard's Paris correspondent telegraphs " The new Panama canal shares are for 100 francs each. Some 300,000 shares will be offered to the public It the amount is not wholly subscribed, provision will be made with funds in the hands of the liquidators. It is estimated that the present issue of 650,000 shares will suf fice to carry on the work for at least eighteen months. The terms of subscrip tions for the new shares are 26 francs on application and 26 franca more October 16, the remainder to be paid in later in stallments, " THE BIG EIGHT OFF. It I Said That Jackson Would Not 8lgn the Article. Chicago, September 12. Jackson has refused to sign the articles to fight Cor bett. Edward Lloyd, representing the 8ioux City Club, met Jackson and his manager, " Parson " Davies, at the Briggs House at noon. Lloyd produced the papers, which Corbett had signed in New York. Jackson glanced over them, and at once said they would not do. 1 1 will fight for your pnrse and a side bet of $1,000," he said, "but the fight will have to come off within three months." "That's the idea exactlv." said Da- vies. " Corbett is on the stage now, and we don't intend to advertise him until next May or June. This agreement calls for a fight between May 16 and June 15. Now you people name your place and make the time within the next three months, and Jackson will sign." this Lloyd said be could not do. and Davies proceeded to pick flaws with the papers, lie declared the deal did not look honest. o place was named ; there was no specification as to whether the men would fight ten rounds or ten years or to a finish, and the whole matter had a pecular look. Jackson chimed in with an objection to fighting at any outdoor place. " l want to nght before a club and in house." he said. " I don't want the affair to take place in a field or tent." Lloyd became considerably excited over the fun Davies poked at the papers, but kept bis temper and tried hard to obtain the necessary signatures. He de clared positively, however, he could not bring off the tight in the time specified by Jackson. "It's three months or nothing." de clared Davies, and Jackson added, "That's right." " Well, it's off," said Davies as he picked up his hat. " I did not like the looks of this thing, anyway." it was announced later that Jackson would leave for New York to-night and mmeaiateiv sail lor the west indies. whence he goes to London. it is apparently useless to try to get a fight with Corbett," the pugilist said. " l could not anord to lie around doing nothing all winter, while Corbett was on the stage making money out of the ad vertisement tms nght would give him. I will try London for awhile." ! CORBETT HEARD TROaT. Washington, September 12. Cham pion Corbett talked freely to-night con cerning Jackson's refusal to sign articles for a fight nnder the auspicies of the Sioux City Athletic Club next year. Cor bett insisted that Jackson's objections to the conditions of the articles that they failed to point out the place of fighting and duration of fight were very trivial and ought not to have any consideration in the minds of people. He pointed out in this connection that in his nght with Mitchell there was no certainty regard ing the place and time of the fight, even the day before the battle. "Will you accommodate Jackson by agreeing to nght him within three months as he desires?" Corbett was asked. " Certainly ; I will light him in three months, or in two weeks, and even to morrow, u it were possible," replied Corbett. THE APILLI DISASTER. Twelre Bodle Have Been Taken From the Wreck. Paris, September 11. The disaster to the Paris and Cologne express train at Apilli, between Noyon and Chauny, yes terday was more serious than at first supposed. The first estimates placed the number of persons killed at ten, with twenty injured. Twelve bodies have already been taken from the wreck. The accident was due to the slow shunting of a freight train at Apilli. The engineer of the express saw the cars on the line, and reversed the engine. The shock of the collision was borne by the three Iront cars. As soon as the accident became known a priest and others hurried to the railroad station, and did everything to assist the dying and injured. The re port that the station master at Apilli had committed suicide by jumping in front of the express train when he saw the collision was inevitable turns out in correct. The station master ran along the track to signal the express and the freight train, and was caught between the two trains and killed. It seems certain there were Americans among the killed or injured. Date of Iiiur Po.tponed. London, September 13. A correspond ent of the Standard at Paris says: "The issue of the new Panama canal shares has been postponed from September IS to September 22. Thirty million francs will be expended in the first instance at the Cutebra cutting. It is estimated the present issue will suffice to carry on the work eighteen months, perhaps longer. Several thousand workmen are already assembled at Panama awaiting the re sumption of work. San Francisco Bank Scandal. San Francisco, September 14. The Pacific Bank has begun suit against Charles Montgomery to recover almost $50,000, borrowed from the institution during his term as director of the sister bank, the People's Home Savings. Montgomery is now under indictment for criminal acts while running the Peo ple's Bank affairs. Several other di rectors of the People's Bank will be brought up for trial on grand jury in dictments. Military Interference. Paris, September 12. Le Temps says military interference in Madagascar is inevitable unless the Hova government comes to time,
