Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 3.—The Col orado flyer on the Missouri Pacific rail way was derailed near Miller. Kan., today while running at the rate of 40 miles an hour. , The engine and the rear car, a Pull man, alone remained upright- on the track. The baggage car, mail car, smoker and a chair car were thrown in to tlie ditch, turning over and were badly shattered. One person was killed and 13 injured, one seriously. The wreck was caused by the snap ping ot a rail, due evidently to the se vere cold weather of the past week. Physicians reached the scenq. promptly and a relief train was hurried Irom Osa watomie, starting east with the injured during the afternoon. At the time of the accident the train was two hours late and making up time. It had no orders to stop at Miller and went by at full speed, lieing derailed on the outskirts of the town. The engine and tender passed over the defective rail safely. The front trucks of the mail car jum|>ed the track and crashed into a freight car on a siding. The baggage car followed, pushed the mail car at right angles across the track and both the forward cars served to block the smoker. The chair car following the smoker partially telescoped the smoker and the latter was rendered into kindl ing wood. ThePullnan remained on the track and aside from a severe shak ing up the passengers in that car were uninjured. TIPS TRAIN OVER. Gale Causes Wreck In Colors*» In Wh’ch Five People are Hurt. Denver, Feb. 3.—A special to the News from Idaho Springs, Colo., says: A passenger train on the Colorado & Southern railroad, which left Denver this morning for Georgetown, was wrecked by a gale, two coaches and a combination baggage and express ear being blown over and badly damaged. The engine and tender remained on the track. Four of the train crew and one passenger were injured. The train had come to a standstill about 1,500 feet from the station in Georgetown, being unable to proceed further because of the wind. While waiting for the wind to subside, the cars were lifted from the rails by the wind, and forced over on their side. The passengers and erew were thrown with great force against the sides of the cars, but were able to escape through the doors and windows. It was several hours before the news of the accident could be sent to Denver, as the telephone and telegraph wires were prostrated by the wind. A spec ial relief train, sent from the latter city, encountered poles and wires strewn over the track in many places and with difficulty reached its destina tion. The severely injured were taken to a hospital in Georgetown for treat ment. RUSSIA IS READY HAS CONTINUED NEGOTIATIONS WITH JAPAN FOR A PURPOSE. Preparations for War Have Been Quietly Keeping Pace With Those ot Japan— Concessions are Now at an End- Reply to Last Nate Will Ignore De mand Regarding Manchuria. St. Petersburg, Feb. 3.—It has been known lor months past that Russia has been steadily strengthening her army and navy in the Far East to meet the preparations which Japan was openly making. The available warships were dispatched to the Far East and the last division, which left the Mediterranean a month ago, is now nearing its desti nation. Quietly, but surely, it was necessary that Russia’s preparations should keep pace with those of her dip lomatic adversary. The feverish ac tivity of Japan during] the last few weeks naturally increased the distrust of her ultimate intentions and the Russian authorities have been pushing their precautionary measures with more vigor. It is understood that six or seven military trains have been going east daily over the Siberian road and the charters of some ships for^the Pacific have been canceled, because the water route was considered too slow. The draft of Russia’s reply probably will be submitted to the czar tomor row. The Associated Press is assured that it will be pacific and should ‘‘lead to a settlemnet.” The Associated Press informant reiterated what he said a few days ago: "We have conceded much already, and we are ready to con cede more, but some things we cannot grant. From our standpoint the Man churian question was settled by Rus sia’s circular note to the powers recog nizing all the Chinese treaties. Why should Japan demand more than the other powers?” Chinese coal exclusively has been purchased for the Russian fleet. The authorities now feel that the situation is secure should Japan reject Russia's proposition. FIGHT AGAINST AMERICAN MEAT. Austrian Agrarians Protest at for Importation, Efforts WAR IN A MONTH. Colombia Determined to Have a Force on the Isthmus. New York, Feb. 2.—This cable dis patch was ìeceived here last night from an official source in Bogota, according to the Sun : “The government is helpless in its efforts to prevent war In lees than a month from now 10,000 men will boon the isthmus.” This information confirming rumors cabled from Panama yesterday that Co lombia intends organizing and sending an expedition against Panama, comes as a surprise, in view of the changed attitude of the Colombians who had ap parently accepted the inevitable and depended on General Raphael Reyes, the special envoy to Washington, to save what he could from the wreck, says the Sun. General Reyes was to have sailed yes terday for Barranquilla on the steamer Valencia, but for the second time he deferred his departure. General Pedro Nelispino and Dr. Lucas Gabellerò, col leagues of General Reyes on the Colom bian mission, sailed on the Valencia. The story continues : On seemingly good authority it is said that General Reyes remains hero because his negotiations with the state department at Washington have not been completely broken off and that he has a tentative promise from this gov ernment that Colombia will be taken care of with a pecuniary balm for her injured feelings. No comments could be solicited from General Reyes at the Hoffman house last night on the threatening dispatch from Bogota. PRISON DAYS ENDBD. Mr*, riaybrick, Held for Poisoning; Her Husband, Liberated. London, Feb. 2.—Lloyds Weekly Newspapers says this morning that Mrs. Florence Maybrick, the American woman who was serving a life sentence for having poisoned her husband, was released from Aylesbury female prison at 6:45 o’clock on the morning of Janu ary 25 on special license. Her moth er, the paper says, had visited her Sat urday, January 23, and evidently was the bearer of important news. The governor of the prison on Sunday con ferred with the prison officials with a view to arranging for the departure of the prisoner, which was carried out very quietly. Mrs. Maybrick, accom panied by one of the prison matrons, entered a closed carriage and drove to Aylesbury station, where she took a train for London. She drove from Euston station and from there went to a private house not far from the me tropolis. She will remain there for a short period in order to recuperate and to await the completion of certain form alities which will give her a freedom of movement not allowed by persons on ordinary ticket-of-leave. Mrs. Maybrick, the paper continues, during the last few months in prison was employed in the lightest work, aa a reward for good conduct. Vienna, Feb. 3.—The efforts of the municipal council to reduce the price of meat to the people of Vienna, by se curing the importation of trans-At lantic meat products are meeting with very strong opposition from the agrar ian interests. Associations of farmers and cattle men and peasants’ unions throughout Austria have addressed telegrams of protest to the ministry of the interior and the city council, urging that irre parable damage would be done the agri cultural interests of the country if meat from the other side of the Atlantic were permitted. The butchers of Vienna, being op posed to the sale of foreign meat, the pork butchers’ association has taken tip the matter and now announces that the first shipment of Argentine beef to Vi RUSSIA LEAVES IT TO JAPAN. enna will arrive here next Tuesday.

Both o;»er- ators and miners fear a disruption of the present central competitive agree ment, and today there are indications that it will begin with the Illinois operators granting practically the full demands of the miners. No Oold Coin In Vaults. Washington, Feb. 2.—For the first time in many years the treasury finds itself without any gold coin in its vaults. It is explained that this con dition is the result ol an unprecedented demand lor gold certificates during ths time when the mints have been fully employed in coining Philippine silver and subsidiary silver for the United States. The increased demand for gold certificates which could only be issued for gold coin in the treasury came about through the needs of the large banking institutions. Want* Canteen* la Use.
