Shaped Cloud Deal Destruction to
Everything In It Path.
Charleston, Mo., September 13. 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

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.
