at Sumner to assist in pulling up the
Tehachapi grade. Whilst making
the change, by some means as yet
unknown the train got away and
started back nort'ward, down a
grade 100 feet to the mile The train
consisted of two engines, express,
mil and baggage cars, two sleepers,
one coach and the smoker. 1t went
down grade at frightful speed for
about four miles, when the hind
most sleeper jumped the track and
went over an embankment of about
fifteen feet high, carrying with it the
| other sleeper, mail, baggage and ex-
press cars, which were piled up in a
shattered heap and then took fire
and were consumed. The coach and
smoker kept on the down grade and
were stopped without leaving the
track about two miles farther on, and

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19-Secrctary
Folger has reached the conclusion
that the Chinese restriction law must
be constru ed with reference to the
treaty stipulations, and upon the
strength of the recently delivere |
opinion of the Attor ney General has
decided that tn Chinese had right
to land and be transported across the
United States. A requisition had

Treasury Department to draft rules
to govern such transportation. Sec
reta ry Folger's own opinion was in
conformity with the original opin-
ion of the Attorney Generals that
the law could only be construed in
one way, meaning that the Chinese
could not land in this country. Gen.
