The tent flaps being shut down when found, would seem to preclude the possibility of D a ly ’s body having been eaten by animals, the other men doubtless having l>een driven by hunger to the aw ful extrem ity of cannibalism.

He aaya the headlight was not lighted. In stantly he threw on the air and re verted the engine, but in another sec ond, and while both he and Firem an Jamee Hum e were at their poets, the engines came together. The box of the baggage-car behind the engine waa torn from its platform and telescoped over the tender, as if it were b u ilt there. The occupants of the car— D. P. Bell and Homer D arling— w I iq were con ducting an ice cream business, and sev eral of their freinds, were caught liks rata in a trap. Bell waa killed out right. D arling waa caught in a mass ol splintered timbers, and Miss Vertis Pitm an waa pinned to the floor of th« car by a moving pile of wreckage. Mrs. Bell waa thrown acroaa the car and severely bruised. John Larsen, who waa on the platform , waa hurled against the handhold and received a aev«re gash in the mouth. A ll through the tra in , passengers were thrown from their seats and heightened into a panic, and for a tim e the scene was one of tremendous excitement. Fortunately, however, none of the cart left the track, and soon a number of quick-w itted people were hurrying forward to help the injure«!, while the rest huddle«! along the em bankment on which the train stcod. an») viewed the wreck w ith sensations bordering on a nervous ch ill. Engineer Jennings and Fireman M alim , of the Northern Pacific tra in , saw that it would be fatal to stay in their cab, and jumped just befoie the engine struck.

C A N N IB A L IS M 23, CANADA G IV E S AN U L T IM A T U M . 1 T a ils ta th e Hai New York, June 21.— A special te tha Journal and A»lvertis«r from Wash- j ington says: Canada has served notice on England that she m art choose l»e- twean the United Htatea and tire North American Dominion in the settlement of the Alaskan boundary question. It ia stated on the highest authority that this statement represents accurately tha corniitions submitted to England, which has delayed the negotiations between Ambassador Choate ami Lor»l Salisbury in the provisional line of the mo»lua vivendi. The position of Canada ia known here officially. The official to whom it is known feels authorised in saying that there are only two ways out of the difficulty; first, that Canada w ill vol u ntarily recede from her demand for a Pacific tidew ater port, or, second, that the Unite«! States shall surrender the principle laid down by Secretary Hay, in Iris tentative boumlary line, that Americans w ill not grant tem porarily or otherwise any port facilities to the Canadiana. T h a t Canada w ill yield ia consider««! by the state department officials, who have discussed the new and acute phaaea of the situation, aa improbable. It ia aaverted on authority th a t Eng land haa been force«! to yield to Canada and that the United State« and Eng land are wi<ler apart today in the con troversy than since the adjournment ol the high jo in t commission. There ii also official w arrant for the statement that Lord Salisbury and M r. Chamber- lain, secretary of state for the colonies, had, u n til the close of the week, ex pressed to M r. Choate in good faith the conviction that an agreement would be reache«!. State department offioiala are therefore not disposed to criticise England in the premises, but on the contrary, «»halt that Caireda’a practical and dangerous u ltim atum to the mother oountry ia ample justification for Englam l’s in a b ility to proceed w ith the negotiations. In the light of the present news, the conflict, which the provisional bound- -• y line was intended to prevent, may be precipitated at any moment, and w ith greater «how of probability when it becomes known that England has decide«! to stand irrevocably behind Canada.
