ONE KILLED OUTRIGHT.
Fatal Results of a Railway Col
lieion at Reads Landing.

Special to the Globe. -se
READS LANDING, Minn., Dee. -
A collision between an eaSt-bOund
freight traiM Wilson, conductor, and
the Wabasha local passenger, Mead,
conductor, took place one mile west of
here at Z a. m. The freight train was
running at full speed, with thirty-One
loads, and met the passenger train on
sharp curve, which made it impossible
for them to see each other until too
late to avoid the accident. Brakeman
Brooks was instantly killed, his remains
being found under the tender of the
freight engine. Engineers and tiremen
of both trains saved their lives by jump
ing, and escaped with few bruises.
Conductor l.. G. Mead sustained a
probable fatal internal injury.
The two engines were knocked
completely off the track down twenty
foot embankment into the lake, the pas
senger engine being stripped entirely.
One baggage car and eight box cars are
total wrecks, the baggage and three
box cars being telescOped. One car
loaded with emigrant mOvableS, con-
tanning horse, dog and .eWneF, had
miraculous escape, being the third car
from the engine. None of them were
injured, although the roof and sides
were completely torn from the car.
The cause of the collision is not def
nitely known. but it is supposed it was
caused from an oversight on the part of
the freight crew, who thought the local
train was running on the old time card.
The wreck was cleared at $50 p. m.

SAN BERNARDINA, CAL, Dec. 49,
Later investigation of the tragedy in
the National bank here this morning,
which resulted in the death of E. IL.
Morse, cashier, shows that John Oaks,
who did the shooting, had been working
on the railroad here about month. His
companion was deputy sheriff from
Arizona, but there is no reason to be-
lieve that the latter had anything to do
with the shooting. Oaks went into the
bank yesterday and asked to have a
check cashed. He was told that he
would have to be identified. When he
presented the check this morning
Cashier Morse told him he would not
cash the check Until he was properly
identified. Oaks said ~ will make
you" and fired Immediately. Morse re.
turned the fire, and nine shots were eX-
changed. Morse was shot through the
lungs and died in a short time. Oaks
wound is not serious. When Oaks was
arrested letters were found upon him
showing he recently had been in an in-
sane asylum in Nevada. Physicians
who examined him pronounced him in.
sane at the time of the shooting. Morse
was a popular man in the community.
and great excitement prevails here over
the tragedy. He leaves widow.

States Is Impossible, But Re-
.ciprocal Trade Relations Are
Probable.
ITHACA, N. Y. Dec. 13.-Prof. J. G.
Scurman, of Cornell university, who is
a Canadian, spoke here tonight on the
political situation in Canada. He held
that Canada had been growing into an
independent nation since 1910, and es-
peciaIly since the confederation in 1867.
Since 1880, Canada'S semi-cOntinental,
inter-oceanic territory had greatly fos-'
tered the sentiment. However. there.
were influences that might work for
annexation. Taxation, general and
local, was about as high i'll Canada as in
the United States, being in Nova Scotia
$9.45 per capita, against $11.25
IN Vermont. But the Vermont
ers' burden would be lessened
by 50 before 1900 by the pay
ment of the debt. The population did
not respect the 10th parallel. There
were nearly one-fourth as many Can
adams in the United States as in Can
ada, and there were too few in the Can
adian Northwest. Still it was shown
thae from 1890 to 1860 the rate of IN
crease of population had been greater
in Canada than in the United States.
But from 1861 to 1881 the Canadian in,
crease had been only SO per cent. How
ever, neither the financial nor the pop
ulation, not even the fisheries, required
such radical treatment as political
union with the states, which Canadian
sentiment opposed. Both countries
would be benefited by limited trade
reciprocity. Canada had only to wait
for the returns from her great north
west, then she might become in name
what she has almost grown to be in fact
"a sovereign nation. In the meantime
she would retain her present political
status.
