bound train, is missing.
The engineer of the west-bound
train had received orders to meet the
fast mail at Emporia and was making
up lost time. These two are the fast
est trains en- the Santa Fe system and
the east-bound train must have been
running at a speed of at least forty
miles an hour. The west-bound eXz
press was going around q slight curve
and met the fast mail.
Of the seven or eight cars making up
the train of the California express, the
mail, baggage and the express and
smoking cars were destroyed. The
coach following the smoker was badly
splintered. There were not more than
a dozen persons on the fast mail, all
in one coach, and while none of them
was seriously injured, their shaking up
was terrible. Every seat in the coach
was torn from the floor and many
floor planks came up with the seats.
One man, John F. Sweeney, was
brown over three seats and through 2
window. but escaped with only
scratches and bruises. The other cars
of the fast mail train, a baggage and
express, were totally wrecked.
1t is stated that the wreck was
caused by a miscarriage Of orders
from the train master. At Emporia
the east-bound fast mail train received
orders to pass the California express
at Lange, seven miles east. Another
order was sent to Lange for the Calk-
fornia express to take the siding there.
But this order was not delivered, and
the west-bound train passed on. the
trainnen expecting to pass the fast
mail at Emporia.

Among the First to Go to

Not Injured Himself
Through Express and a Fast
Mail Mixed Up by a Misun-
derstanding of.Orders.

EMPORIA, Kan, Sept. 8.-One of the
worst wrecks in the history of the
Sante Fe railroad, occurred three miles
east of here, at about 7:3O o'clock to-
night. Twelve or fifteen persons were
killed and as many more were badly
hurt. The fast mail train going east
and the Mexico and California express,
west-bound, collided, head on. The ex-
press was pulled by two locomotives,
and when they struck the engine
drawing the fast mail the boilers of all
three engines exploded and tore a hole
in the ground SO deep that the smoking
car of the weSt-bound train went in
OH top of the theree engines and two
mail cars and balanced there without
turning over. The passengers in the
smoking car escaped through the win
dows. The front end of this car was
enveloped in a volume of sitting
smoke and steam, belching up from
the wreck of the car behind The
wreck caught fire from the engines
The cars in the hole and the smoking
car burned to ashes in no time. In
climbing out of the smoking car sew
eral men fell through the riffs into the
wreck below, and it is impossible to
tell whether they escaped or were
burned to death. The west-bound train
carried seven or eight coaches and its
passengers included many excursion
lists who had been to hear Hon. w. J.
Bryan speak at the county fair at Bur-
lingame. Mr.. Bryan himself was on
the train, but was riding in the rear
Pullman, some forty feet from the cars
which were wrecked. He states that
nothing but heavy jolt was expert
enced by the passengers in his coach.
Mr.. Bryan was one Of the noblest
men in the crowd of rescuers He
helped to carry out the dead and
wounded and gave the greatest atten-
ton to their care. One poor fellow
who was badly MANNED called to Mr..
Bryan and said: 81 went to hear you
today 1 am now dying and want to
shake your hand and say God bless
you. If you possibly can, Mr. Bryan,
get me a drink of water"
Mr.. Bryan went into the mail car,
one end of which was burning, and
came out with the drink of water,
which he gave o the suffering passen-
ger. He brought out cushions for
others of the injured and was every
where present to administer to the
wants of the suffering. 1t is feared
that nearly all of the seven mail clerks
perished in the disaster but so far
only six bodies have been taken from
the wreck.

overwhelmed by the superfuous mil
lions of China and Japan, and its status
as an independent power completely
changed.
tis this danger, together with the
greatly augmented strength of Japan
as warlike power, that gives urgency
to the question of annexation at this
time. The United States legislates
with the presumption that it has the
right, for its own welfare, to pass re-
s:rictive or prohibitive immigration
laws. International law presents no
obstacle to this course. But Japan
has challenged it in the case of Hawaii.
Japan this year is spending SlS0,00O,-
600 on her army and navy, or about
three times the amount appropriated
for the same purpose by the United
States. Hawai- naturally looks with
apprehension on the rise of a new
power in the Pacific. and is justified in
seeking TO merge her sovereignty in
some nation strong enough to give as
surance OF safety. peace and prosperity.
She will escape from Mongolian fu-
ture if she can, and her second offer of
annexation to the United States will
probably be the last. If We do not
want her there are other nations that
do, and it is farcical to talk of control
ling the affairs of Hawaii after serving
final notice upon her that annexation
as one of our territories is not desired.

not to their interest they will not
adopt. They are loaners of money,
not borrowers, therefore dear money
is of more benefit to them than cheap
money. A money that appreciates in
value is more profitable to them than
a money that fuctuates or depreciates.
Besides their banking business, that
would be effected by a double stand
ard, they are large purchasers of raw
materials, and is to their interest when
buying abroad to have money that
will purchase the greatest amount of
the pi oducts of labor.
For these reasons England, Germany
and France will never consent to any
other than gold standard until forced
to do 30 by some other powerful nation
that it is a debtor and with which they
have extensive commercial relations.
International bimetalism is myth, a
delusion, only brought into promin-
ence for campaign purposes. 1t will
never be accomplished by the COM
mission appointed by President Nc
Kinley, because it is not desired by
the nations to whom the commissioners
are applying. Bimetalism will never
result from a unison of action on the
part OF the nations, but 1t can be ac-
complished by the Independent action
of any powerful nation whose COM
merce reaches all over the world
adopting adouble standard by opening
its mints to the unrestricted coinage
of the two metals, gold and silver.
Europe can be forced to a double
standard. but it can never be coaxed.

Forest Reserve Regulations.

WASHINGTON, July l.-Much atten'
ton has been paid recently by the
general land Office to the preparation
of rules and regulations applicable to
the government of the various forest
resefFes, and commissioner Hermann,
has now formulated these for the ap-
proval OF tf:e secretary of the interior.
Prospecting, locating and develop
ing mineral resources and forest re-
serves are permitted, Lands for school,
houses and churches are provided and
water for domestic, mining, milling
and irrigation purposes are also al
lowed. Construction OF wagon roads
is authorized and the right of way
across reserves for irrigating canals,
bitches, fqmes aud reservoirs is per-
mitted.
Mineral lands of the forest reserves
are sunject to location and entry under
mining laws ip the usual manner.
Makers of mining locations are author:
lied to fell and remove from their
mining claims any timber growing
thereon, t9r actual mining purposes
upon their particular claim. Free nse
of timber is allowed to bona tide set
tiers, miners, residents spd prospec-
tors for minerals, for fireTood, fencing,
buildings, etc.

AND THE SENATE

The report of Senator Hoar in the
case of Hon. II. W. Corbitt, has been
printed for the use of the committee
on privileges and elections, but it is so
weak that it will hardy have the eff
feet of convincing the senate that Mr..
Corbett Is entitled to a seat in that
body. About the only point made in
the report is that Mr.. Hoar thinks the
governor of Oregon twas entitled to
make the appointment and that Mr..
Corbett is entitled to his seat" In SUBJ
sanitation of this position the report
says:
''It is clear. whatever may have been
the nature of the organization of the
legislature, that it had been dispersed
and had come to an end before March
l, 1897, when the vacancy in the Office
of senator, by limit of the term to
which Mr.. Mitchell had been chosen,
and which he had held for six years,
occurred. Any choice or appointment
made after that time must be a choice
or appointment for less than six years.
SIT is well settled, by a practice
which has existed from the formation
of the government, that the vacancies
so occurring after the beginning of a
constitutional term may be filled by
the legislature. If that be true. they
may be filled by the executive of state
during the recess of the legislature.
The legislature is only authorized by
the constitution to fill such vacancies
as might be filed by the executive by
temporary appointment until the next
meeting of the legislature.
$50, if the executive has no power,
the legislature has no power. The
executive may lawfully makes tenn
porary appointment, and the legisla-
ture fill that vacancy when it assem-
bles. or the Office must remain vacant
for the rest of the six years.
Sumed up. this means that if the
governor cannot appoint a senator a
special session of legislature could not
elect, hence in order that every state
shall have its full representation in
the upper house of congress, the ap-
by governor must be rec
ognized. This position will hardly be
accepted by the senate, for senators,
although willing to get into the sem
ate on almost any pretext, are not
ready to establish the precedent that
the seating of Mr.. Corbett would set.
When vote is taken on the report |
next December it is very probable Mr.. |
Corbett would will be returned to his |
bank at Portland.

TRUE AS PREACHING.

The statement of the London
National Review as to the prospective
representations of the monetary COM
missioners recently appointed by
President Mckinley, and England's
reply thereto. is vague and indefinite.
No prospect is held out that Great
Britain will offer to adopt a joint stand
ard. Germany is with England. France
will never go it alone in Europe with
a double standard. or even with the
United States, for she would thereby
put her own system in peril of loss as
compared with Germany, which would
hold to the gold standard England
will treat our silver theorists with
great consideration, but she will relax
her hold on the gold standard not
whit.-Oregonian.
There is more truth than poetry in
this statement. 1t is not to the interest
of any of those powers, or rather to
the interest of those who dictate the
policies of those powers, to adopt a
double standard of money, and what is

CUBA'S DELIVERANCE is NIGH


The Chicago News says that "Sena-
tor Mason, fresh from Washington, de
clared on his arrival here. that Cuba
would be free within few weeks at
most, emphasizing the declaration
with vigorous thump upon the unof-
Tending table before him, and Murat
Halstead, in well considered article
in the New York Herald, makes the
same prophecy, fixing the date of de-
liverance before the close of the pres
ent rainy season. The News ssys
there are indications in the conduct of
the president that give color to these
declarations. 1t has been understood,
over since his Inauguration, that the
president was anxious to serve as
peacemaker in Cuba rather than as
the champion of the rebel cause, and
his strong opposition to the passage of
the belligerency resolutions could not
be explained upon any other ground
than that he saw better mode of
settlement of the war than for the
United States to involve itself in
contest with a friendly power.

tending Sor different men for governor.
In the contest for governor John G..
Welty and Horace L. Chapman showed
much strength today.
Previous to the district meetintg at
4:30 o'clock p. m., the fight against
R. T. Hougb for governor became so
bitter that there was much talk OF ex
congressman Donovan to head the
ticket On all sides it was held that
no standard-bearer should be selected
who had any gold streak in his record
Those who favor Mclean for senator
became involved in such bitter con-
tests over the head OF the state ticket
that it became doubtful whether the
Mclean managers could control the
convention in the nomination for gov
ernor, which involved the support of
the state administration for Mclean
in securing the senatorship.
The Mclean leaders held several
conferences during the day. While
they did not want to antagonize the
friends of the other candidates, they
could not be induced to drop Hugh.
The democratic state central COM
mittee this afternoon gave hearing
To ranresentatiYes of the state league

ed resolution recommending that
the committee on rules designate
place on the state ticket to be filled by
the state league of silver republicans.
This is the closing of the efforts at fu-
sion that haYe been in progress for
two days. The silver republicans when
this concession was made withdrew
their objections to Sorg, Hough and
other candidates.

tary to the commander-in-chief. will
go to Madrid this week, the bearer OF
confidential dispatches to Premier Can

in which the demand is made for 60, 900
additional recruits.
All regular troops that can be spared
from Pinar del Rio, the western
trocha, Hayaua, Matanzas ana Santa
Clara districts are being concentrated
at Sancti Spiritus. where Weyler has
directed the immediate organization
of IA colams, at the head OF which he
will try to drive Gomez across the new
trocha and invade Puerto Principe
province, where Calixto Garcia's forces
are now said to be massiHg.
Weyier expects great pitched bat
tie when he meets Garcia, the result of
which may be turning the point in the
war. Should Wsyler's army meet
with defeat, Spain will then be ready
to listen to President MeKinley's Of
fers of intervention. If Spain wins,
and Garcia is routed, Weyler will as
sumo magnAnimous role, proclaim
general amnesty and foil personal and
political guarantees under the Spanish
flag. Should these over.ures be re-
fused, it is predicted that tho war Of

THE BEST COUNTRYON EARTH

Before the o. r. &. N. Co. g lines
were absorbed by the U. P. it was one
of-the best paying railroad properties
in the United States, and since it has
been relieved from the dead weight of
that octopus, it has again taken its
rightful place among the best money
earners of the country. This is not
wholly because the road is exception
ally good. or on account of the manage
ment aud care that has been given it
by Major McNeill, although his man
agement has besn faultless, but be-
cause of the resources of the country
in which it operates, and this fact
speaks volumns for Eastern Oregon
and Washington, the section tributary
to the o. r. & N. During these de-
pressing times, when other transporta-
tion companies operating in supposed
prosperous localities have been losing
money, or at least not making more
than operating expenses, the o: r. &
N. has been able to get out of control
of the courts, and has placed itself on
paying basis. This accomplishment is
on account of the richness of the
country in which the company
operates, and is indeed good adver-
tisement for the country.
That great transportation COM
pany should be able to make such a
showing as the o. R. & N. can at this
time, should be convincing evidence
that this is today the most favored
locality on earth, and should encourage
homehunters to look toward Eastern
Oregon and Washington when search
ing for locations.
The reports of the company for the
month of May and the eleven months
ending May 81, are as follows: Gross
earnings for May, 1919, ,56S.2O; eleven
months ending May 81, s4,272, ,S1s.3 30;
expenses, S24O, ,360.56; eleven months
ending May 81, 81, 1902, ,955.s1; net earn
ings for May, l39.227.64; for eleven

Increase of net earnings over the same
period &c 1896, $62, ,76O.17; IL months,

cover rail and water lines and show
remarkable increase in total net earn
ings for nine months ending March 81
