$3.50 yesterday morning between ex-
press train No. 5, westbound, and ex-
press No. 4, eastbound, resulting in
two trainmen being killed and sew

from the shock they proceeded to
rescue the unfortunate victims En-
gineer Humphreys OF No. 4 was found
at his post with one of his limbs cut
off at the thigh and his head almost
split in two. He died in a few min
utes. Express Messenger Caplinger
was instantly killed.
e. E. Derrick, the express messen-
ger and baggageman of No. 5, had a
very narrow escape, and his injuries
may yet prove fatal. The momentum
forced him through the side of the
car and landed him on the embank-
ment about fifty feet away. His face
was mashed to jelley and his body
terribly cut and bruised.
There was but one physician on the
train. He was kept busy until train
No. was run back to Hurdland for
assistance. None of the passengers
on No. were injured. Engineer Daily
and Firemen Fogarty and Skyles
saved their lives by jumping. Gen
eral Manager Frey was on the west
bound train, and gave directions and
superintendent the work of relief.
Conductor Clergin was in charge of
No. west bound. He handed the
order, which clearly stated that the
two trains were to meet at Gibbs, to a
press reporter. The officials on the
train say the conductor and engineer
of train No were responsible for the
accident, having disobeyed telegraph
ic orders to meet train No at Gibbs
The engineer being killed outright no
statement of course, could be secured
from him, but the conductor states he
entirely overlooked the orders. The
total damage to property will not ex-
coed $4,000.

rHE NEw oHINEsE TREATY.
Provisions of the Agreement Ratified
by the Senate.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-The treaty
with China which was ratified by the
senate yesterday prohibits the coming
of Chinese laborers to the United
States for the next ten years, except
upon conditions specified. The re-
striction is not to apply to the return
of such laborers as have wives, chill
dren or parents or property of the
value of 81, 900 or debts equal to
that amount due them in this country.
A departing Chinaman is to secure
before leaving a certificate from the
collector of customs of the district
from which he leaves, that he has de-
posted with the collector a descrip-
ton of his family, property or credits,
and this certificate is to entitle him
to return to the United States. In
case the description proves to be false,
the right to return is to be for
feited. 1t is to be exercised with
in one year, but in excep-
tional cases may be extended for an
other year. 1t is especially ageeed that
the provisions of this convention
shall not affect the right Of Chinese
officials, teachers. students, mer-
chants or travellers for curiosity or
pleasure, but not laborers, to come to
IL
To entitle such Chinese subjects to
admission they must produce certifi-
cate from their government or the
government where they last resided
and from the diplomatic or consular
representative of the United States
in the country or port whence they
departed. 1t is also agreed that Chi
nese laborers shall continue to enjoy
the privilege of transit across the ter
ritory of the United States in the
course of their Journey to or from
other countries, subject to such regu-
lations by the government of the
United States as may be necessary to
prevent the privilege being abused.
The treaty also guarantees to Chinese
residents of the United States
citizens of the most favored ma
tions, except the right to become
naturalized citizens. The Chinese
government valves all objections to
the requirement of the United States
laws that Chinese residents shall be
registered, and reciprocally this gov
eminent consents that China shall
make the same requirement of Ameri-
cans residing in China.
While the treaty was made for only
ten years it is provided that it may be
extended for another like term of
years unless either country shall give
notice six months before the expira-
ton of the ten year limitation of a
desire to terminate it.
The treaty now requires ratifca-
ton by China, but it is presumed the
minister here is fully empowered by
his government to act for it in this
matter, and it is expected that ratifi-
cation will be exchanged in few

French Anarchists Have Gone to Russia
With Sinister Designs on the Autocrat.
BERLIN, Aug. 14.-The St. Peters
burg correspondent of the Vossische
Zeitung says that much i'll feeling
was caused by the czar's refusal at
the time of Grand Duchess Xenia's
marriage to declare an amnesty for
minor criminals. Such an amnesty
was fully expected. Since the wedding
many anonymous letters threatening
revenge have been received by the
czar. The st. Petersburg police have
been notified from Paris that several
of the ugliest French anarchists have
left Paris for Russia. French detec.
tives, who know the faces of most
desperate French anarchists, have
been stationed at the entrances of the
Peterhof palace.

The Sense of Sight.

Like every other sense, that of sight
improves by use under healthy condi-
tions, and therefore the people who have
the greatest exercise of their vision in
the open air under the light of the sun
have the best eyesight Generally speak
ing, savage tribes possess the keenest eye
sight, acquired through hunting. Natives
of the Solomon islands are very quick at
perceiving distant objects, such as ships
at sea, and will pick out birds concealed
in dense foliage some 60 or 20 feet high.
Shepherds and sailors are blessed with
good sight.
Eskimos will detect white fox in the
snow great distance away, while the
Arabs of the deserts of Arabia have such
extreme powers of vision that on the
vast plains of the desert they will pick
out objects invisible to the ordinary eye.
at ranges from one to ten miles distant.
Among civilized peoples the Norwegians
have better eyesight than most if not all
Others, as they more generally fulfill the
necessary conditions. The reason why
defective eyes are so much on the in
crease in this country, and in Europe
lies in too much study of books in early
life and in badly lighted rooms. Brook
