Ashland, Ore. July 29.-The first se-
rious accident that has occurred on the
Southern Pacific line over the Seskiyou
mountains, happened today and resulted
IN the death of John Rochefort and the
serious injury Of Fireman Fitzpatrick.
Just as the train entered the tunnel the
coupling broke and an effort was made
to recouple in the tunnel. The train was
pulled by two engines and the dense
smoke from the rear engine enveloped
the occupants OF the head engine, who
were not able to endure it the fifteen or
twenty minutes that the train was de-
tanned in the tunnel and Rochefort and
his fireman attempted to climb from the
cab but they were SO nearly suffocated
that they fell in the darkness; Roche
with his left arm across the rail, The
men in the rear engine did not know the
condition Of the men in the head engine
and in backing out Of the tunnel to
remedy the coupling the driving wheel
of the engine ran over and cut off Roche
forts left arm. He was dead from the
loss of blood when found. Fitzpatrick
is doing we'll and will come out all right,
it is thought. Several other trainmen
were nearly overcome in rescuing their
comrades but all came out all right. A
special engine took out surgeon upon
receipt Of the news. Rochefort has been
running on this division for several
years. He was we'll liked and leaves a
family.

CHANGES IN THE RULES,
Additional Regulations for the Examinatio
Of Civilian Candidates for the Army.

Additional Regulations for the Examination
Of Civilian Candidates for the Army.
The War Department has made public . new
set OF rules governing the examination Of can
didates from civil life for appointment in the
army as second lieutenants, in place of those
issued short time ago and under which those
civilians who were recently appointed to the
army as second heutenants were examined.
They differ from the old rules in the following
particulars: Trignometry is made q subject Of
examination and popular astronomy is stricken
from the list Of subjects. In the new rules
the board Of examiners are to mark each
question Of examination according to its
relative weight and not mark every question
on a scale of ten, as was provided for in
the old rules. The old rules gave arithmetic,
algebra, &c." relative weight Of two; the new
rules make this relative weight four, thus Civ
ing candidates proficient in those studies .
better relative showing. The new rules pro-
vide that no candidate shall be passed by the
board who shall not have attained an average
OF sixty-tve per cent in each subject of exami-
nation and a general average of at least seventy
per cent. The requirement as to an average
OF sixty-five per cent in each subject Of exami-
nation was not embodied in the old rules, but
1t was Incorporated in set Of instructions is
sued to the examining board and was followed
by the board in marking the papers Of the can
didates at the recent examination. Several Of
the civilians selected by Secretary Proctor for
examination In September for appointment as
second ieutenants were in the examination
held about a month ago, when the average of
sixty-five per cent was insisted upon, though
they we're not aware it would be when they
were examined. For this and probably other
reasons they will be given another chance.

A SERIES OF FRAUDS.
Men Claiming to he Government Agents Sell.
ing Land in Oklahoma.

Men Claiming to BE Government Agents Sell
ing Land in Oklahoma.
The general land Office has received informa-
ton which leads to the belief that q somewhat
extended series of frauds are being carried on
in different parts of the country. For
example, Q letter was received from
q citizen of Windsor, N. c., stating that
man representing that he was an agent Of the
government was visiting the colored people
in that locality and selling them homesteads
in Oklahoma. The writer states that he pur-
chased seven homesteads, paying for them CLOS.
He also bought some town lots in Lagston City,
Oklahoma He does not complain Of the price
paid and as each homestead contains 160 acres
BIOS would not be regarded as high for seven
homesteads The writer seems to have some
doubt as to the genuineness Of the pur-
chase, and, as usual in such cases,
he paid his money and then in the
as to his bargain. OF course the entire affair
is fraudulent and the writer will be advised to
have the man prosecuted as u fraud.
Another letter Of q somewhat similar charac-
ter has been received from q man living in
Evansville, Ind. He states that a man travels
about who horepresentshimselfto to bean agent sent
out by the government to solicit families to
the government is giving the land there
away for the purpose Of encouraging set
tlement. He adds that by giving him s3
he will furnish them pass to Oklahoma and
return free Of any additional charges. The
writer states that this man has induced some
of the farmers to think about it and some are
inclined to make the change A similar re-
sponse will be sent to the inquirer from In
diana as was sent to the citizen of North Caro-
lima.

THE CHINESE MISSION.
A Rumor That 1t Has Been offered to Sen
ator Squire Of Washington.

Rumor That 1t Has Been offered to Sem
ator Squire Of Washington.
The Chinese mission, theoretically held BY
Mr.. Blair, but practically vacated by the action
of the celestial government, is being offered in
dog-day rumors to all sorts of people, and Sem
ator Squire of Washington is the latest one
named to 60 across the Pacific and talk diplo-
matically to the great emperor. Nothing def
mite can be learned officially Of this story, but
it is not denied.
Acting Secretary Wharton, when asked about
1t, said: ut is quite likely, but then I don't
know anything about it."
Such an admission Of the possibility Of the
fact might be significant and again it might
not 1t would depend upon the extent of his
advices from Bar Harbor or Cape May.
But those who know say that the selection of
Squire is not only likely but probable, as he is
locally in sympathy with the Chinese policy of
the government while he is too recent an ad-
vent in the Senate to have made any anti
speeches.
There was good deal of talk at the time of
Mr.. Blairs rejection, to the effect that west
ern man should be sent to China, and 1t would
appear as if Squire were sufficiently western for
all purposes. The fact that none of the new
states have yet been given diplomatic appoint
ments might add to his chances.
He is now in the east and was q caller at the
supplemental White House at Cape MAY the
other day. This may be factor in the CASE

SHORT OF TwO-DoLLAR BILLS.

The Treasury Forced to Issue . Million
More Hancock Notes.
The Treasury is about out of two-dollar notes,
and as this form of money is the most popular
style that it produces, it is rather . serious di-
lemma that it is now facing. This is particu-
larly true under the circumstances that sur
round the department Just now in the matter
Of two-dollar silver certificates. 1t is hoped,
however, that the trouble will soon be averted,
and steps have already been taken to that end.
Some months ago it was discovered that there
WAS most dangerous counterfeit on the mar
ket, SO accurate q reproduction of the "Han-
cock" o. note having been made by outside
parties that copies Of it were passed in banks
and other places where expert eyes usually de-
tect bad piece Of money at a glance. There
was SO little difference between the genuine
and the counterfeit that the Treasury Depart
ment decided to call in the issue as far as pos
sible and to stop its production. Accordingly,
been no new Hancock notes put out for Q long
period. In the meantime work has been
pushed on a new note that had been projected
and devised some time before the detection of
the counterfeit, but for some reason or other it
did not progress as fast as usual. and the time
came the other day when the stock Of old Han
cocks ran out and 1t was absolutely necessary
to have some bills. The department was
seriously embarrassed. 1t did not want to put
out any Of the old notes because there was just
as much reason for their withdrawal as ever
since the bad plates had not been captured.
But it became necessary for a new issue OF
twO-dollar certificates to be sent out as the
demand was growing large for them, and as q
last resort it was finally decided to run the risk
Of affOrding the counterfeiters another chance
to play their game, and orders were sent to the
bureau Of engraving and printing to turn out
an issue Of 20, 900 sheets of Hancock notes,
amounting to l ,OO0, 900 bills or 2,OO0, 900.
Work on these notes has been begun, and in q
few days the new notes will begin to appear,
and 1t is hoped that this lot will tide the depart
ment over its difficulty.

ON Wheat Yesterday.

e. Partridge Of Chicago Dropped 0l00y0
on Wheat Yesterday.
CHICAGO, August 12.-The Nesos says Millions
Of dollars were counted out as profit when
yesterdays session of the Chicago board Of
trade closed and December wheat had bobbed
up from s1% to IS. Toward this handsome
sum E. Partridge is credited with contributing
e500, 900; Mr.. Partridge says S400, 600.
Mr.. Partridge said last evening that he had
been heavily short and that calls had been
made 80 persistently Just at the close of the
day that he ran out Of ready cash, but while he
came out S40O, 900 short he still felt in . con-
dition to meet any demand that could be made
on him. The losses, he said, come out Of the
profits made when wheat was going down.
N. B. Ream attempted to stem the tide by
selling short on every dip Of the market, but
when the day was over he gave up the battle
and bought to cover. The bear side was pop
ular and the squeeze that came in the calls is
expected to be fatal to many Of the small fry.
prominent broker said that all the heavy
buyers are greatly short in wheat. The unpre-
cedented foreign demand had something TO do
with the raise, and not . few brokers say the
Farmers Alliance circular had something TO do
with it.

that the raising and reftting Of Commodore

prise, in which the government of the
