THE A.P. AT WORK.
Actively PropagatinG Its Living
Prineiples

Washington, March 7s.-The execu-
tive committee of the national advisory
board of the A P. A. met again today
at the National hotel and completed
their labors, so far as this city is con
cerned. Next week the committee as
sembles in New York City.
For the last six months, according to
a statement furnished by DIR. James B.
Dunn of Boston, a member of the
executive committee, the latter body
has been in close touch with all the
councils throughout the country, and a
consensus of the views of the order,
with carefully prepared table of the
results, was laid before the committee
here and fully discussed. All the coun-
ellis are kept thoroughly informed as to
the growth, plans and work of the
order at large. Plans were adopted
today so as to convey to every council
in the land the action of the committee
and an outline of the work to be done
in the coming campaign. The number
of delegates who are members of the
order and who will be in the republican
and democratic national conventions Is,
Mr.. Dunn says, exceedingly gratifying

WRECK ON THE sHORr LINE.
supt. Van Housen's Car smashes
and He Is Hurt.

Boise, Ida, March a3. = The west
bound passenger train on the Oregon
short line was wrecked a mile east of
Shoshone this morning. A number of
persons were slightly injured, but none
we're seriously hurt. The accident was
caused by the breaking of rail under
he train. The engine and forward car
passed over in safety. The hind truck
of the Portland sleeper was thrown
from the track and the three cars behind
were ditched. The wrecked cars were a
Pullman sleeper, tourist sleeper and
the private car of Superintendent Van
Housen. The latter car was smashed
up. Mr.. Van Housen had very mar
row escape, coming out of the wreck
| with number of bad cuts and bruises.
He superintended the work of clearing
| away the wreck and made provisions
for those hurt. The most seriously hurt
was Fulton Haigh, of HALEY, who had
a number of cuts Several commercial
men were cut by flying glass. Some OF
these remained in Shoshone to have
their wounds dressed. The forward
part of the train took on the rest of the
passengers, and ran through, arriving
here about two hours late.

at P.V. junction.

Pleasant Valley Junction, Utah,
March ~. Aloes, transient, was
crushed under train No. Io today about {
O'Clock and instantly killed. For several
days he has been hereabouts, ostensibly
looking for work; today he was heard to
ask II freight train would soon be along
going to Salt Lake. On the arrival of
No. Io ne was seen to take an overcoat
and make an effort to get on the rods
under the car. He rode about 100 yards
when he called to tramp, who was also
beating his way, to try to stop the train,
as he was falling. In another moment
his body was under the wheels. The
top of the head was mashed off, his en-
tire body horribly crushed and man
gled. The jury summoned by Justice
Craner exonerated the crew, as the testi.
mony showed that they were in no way
responsible for the accident A small
book, pair of spectacles and IS cents in

looks to be of German or Jewish de
scent.

r,netovn, March II. Dispatches
from Ruluwayo, hatabeleland, indicate
that the uprising in that part OF the col
opy is very serious. The disturbance is
widespread, becoming hourly more
alarming. The revolt may spread to
other parts of South Africa. Settlers in
uataIsIeland are focking into towns,
which are being placed In condition for
defense. Reinforcemen's OF mounted
,ol,ce with supplies of ammunition for
Maxim guns are being hurried to Bulu-
vayo. Natives are raiding farms and
killing white settlers in the Matep hills.
Rumor has it that over fifty were slain.
Frederick c. Selous, the well-known
explorer and hunter who distinguished
himself during the AIatabele war, will
shortly start for the front at the head
of a strong force Of South African
troops.
Other advices received from Bulu-
wayo today say that there was great
alarm on Wednesday and Thursday
caused by report which turned out tc
be false, brought into town at midnight
that the natives were within half a mile
of the place. The women and children
were ordered to the courthouse, the
meu were all armed for the defense o.
the town, and scouting parties were sem
in all directions,
The miners who are hurrying int
Buluwayo report numerous native afro
cities.

Oman. on the ahor, Linz.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Omaha on the s7th of March says 1t is
learned there through a private letter
from Samuel Carr, chairman of the
Union Pacific reorganization committee,
that the committee is making favorable
progress. 1t is almost certain that the
Short Lines new management will take
charge of the property August first, and
1t is probable that the reorganization
committee will have made such pro-
gress that the receiver will take charge
July first. The same dispatch says that
while 1t is true that the property will
leave the Union Pacific fold, it is equally
certain that the receiver will be favora-
BILE to the Union Pacific, and that there
will be but little change in the affairs of
the road from the present state. 1t is
still question whether or not the new
receiver of the Short Line will open
the Ogden gateway, thereby letting in
the competitors of the Union Pacific for
business, but 1t is doubtful if he does
This latter statement is evidently
written in ignorance of the real situa.
ton. Authoritative information re.
ceived here is to the effect that the reor
ganized Short Line twill open the Og
den gateway" letting all of the lines In

Topeka, Kan, March 29.-The Kan
sas State Temperance union has decided
upon a plan of political action for the
coming campaign. 1t proposes to secure
a written pledge from 10000 voters that
they will not vote for any candidate who
is not openly pledged to the enforce
ment of the prohibitory law. The idea
is that 10000 voters pledged to this con-
dition will constitute the balance OF
power in Kansas political affairs, and
can either secure their demand or wreck
any ticket which refuses to take the
required pledge. The work of securing
signatures has commenced.

Salt Lake City, March 2S.-The dis
covery of a corpse in a trunk at Chi
cago, and it having been ascertained
from the books of the railroad company
that the box was shipped from Salt Lake

Chazzel came to Salt Lake about
three weeks before the date of his dis
appearance. He had been to the dia-
mond mines in South Africa, and when
here carried about with him $4,000 or
$1,000 worth of diamonds and jewelry.

over his disappearance, The day he
dropped out of sight he had an agree
ment to dine with her at 4 O'Clock, and
when he failed to keep it, she grew
alarmed. 1t was next day, however, be
fore she reported the matter to the
police. when she did everything, appar-
emily, TO help the officers trace him.
Not a clue was ever found A week
later the woman left for Paris, where

Leon attempted to do so, but the bank
officials refused to pay it, and tht
deposit Is there yet. Besides this Chaz
