afternoon, and then went to the cabil
of Christopher Nelson, prospector
and killed him also. The teamsten|

until an Indian came in about P. H.,
and reported that Ahvote had taken a
gun and might kill the teamsten
Gracey at once sent man up on horse

latter found the teams, while the bodies
OF the teamsters lay on the ground near

More Chinese for Nashville E,nos;t,o

Tacoma, WASH, May 17.-CollectOr
Saunders today received directions from
the secretary of the treasury to admit
the remaining sixty-four of the ia Chi.
nese bound for the Nashville exposition,
who were brought here three weeks ago
on the steamer Victoria. The telegram
from Washington says that this action
is taken upon the urgent request of the
Nashville exposition officials. The
nrst nifty OF the lot were sent East last
week, including the 26l recently admit.
ted at San Francisco. This makes S75
chinese already admitted for attendance
at the exposition, in addition to a con-
siderable number brought over by the
Canadian Pacific line. The Chinese
have certificates emitting them to re-.
main in the country one year after the
exposition closes, but, like the Chinese
admitted on similar terms for the At
ianta exposition, it is considered doubt
iul II they can be collected and sent
back when their certificates expire.

NO MORE SUGAR-BEET SEED
Government Has Distributed Ten Thous-
and Pounds Among Farmers.


Washington, May 1S.-The sugar.
beet seed which the agricultural depart
ment has been distributing is practic-
ally exhausted, about 10000 pounds
having been sent out to farmers in
about four-tifths of the states. The
seed has been distributed in packages of
an ounce to half a pound, purely for
experimental purposes. The beets
grown from the seed will be analyzed
and the saccharine matter determine
to ascertain where beets can be profit
ably grown for the production of sugar
These experiments, it is said, will be
OF immense value; as the best undoubt-
edly can be produced with profit in
many of the states. Wherever it can
be so produced, it will give the farmers
new crop.
All the surplus vegetable seed in the
possession of the agricultural depart
ment is being distributed through con-
gressmen or government agency to the
people i'll the flooded districts along the
Mississippi for planting as soon as the
waters subside.

THROUGH A TRESTLE.
Accident to Santa Fe Train Near Ard
more, Indian Territory.

Ardmore |. T., May 1S.-A south
bound passenger train on the Santa Fe
road. known as the Chicago and Calves
ton express, went through trestle six
teen miles south of here at O'Clock
this morning. Fifteen persons, pas
sengers and trainmen, were injured.
Several of these are seriously hurt, and
it is believed that two will die.
The accident occurred near the town
of Marietta. A heavy rainstorm,
amounting almost to a waterspout,
caused sudden rise this morning of
all the small streams in that vicinity.
The accident occurred at a point where
steep, narrow gulch was spanned by
wooden trestle. The foundation
work supporting this trestle was un-
dermined by the sudden rise of the little
stream which flows through the gulch,
and the trestle went down under the
heavy weight of the train. So great
was the speed of the train, however,
that the engine and tender, the ex-
press, mail and baggage cars and one
passenger coach passed over the narrow
chasm, though the trucks of several of
these cars went to the bottom, several
feet below. The coach next to the
last, the one Immediately in front of
the Pullman, was left standing directly
over the chasni,- -0ng-und resting OH
either bank of the gulch. The Pullman
remained on the track. The four
coaches which We're dragged by the To-
comotive across the broken trestle were
badly wrecked. The baggage car tele-
scoped with the passenger coach, which
was the smoker, and the latter was all
but demoraized. Most of the injured |
were riding in these coaches.
j. M. Grider, the Wells-Fargo ex-
press messenger, was so badly crushed
by heavy car chest, that he cannot
live. Z. 7. Sparks, of Oakman, /. T.,
was crushed in the wreck of the smok-
er, and is also mortally injured.

GUNBOAT NASHVILLE.
Averaged Nearly Seventeen Knots on
Her Trial Trip.

Averaged Nearly Seventeen Knots on
Her Trial Trip.
Bridgeport, Conn, May 17.-"The
fastest vessel of her class in the world, "
was the verdict accorded by the officers
at the conclusion of the speed trial of
the new gunboat Nashville today on
Long Island sound.
The speed required by the govern
ment was 1907 knots. The average
speed made by the vessel was 16. rs
knots, making an excess of speed very
near three knots. With bonus of
$40, 900 for each excess knot, this
means total OF $50, 900 for the build
ers.
The time for the thirty miles out
was 1:S5:36. The elapsed time for the
second run was l:4S:l6. The gunboats
Nashville, Wilmington and Helena
were provided for by act of congress
approved March 3, 1898, and in Janu-
ary of the year following their building
was awarded to the Newport News
Shipbuilding Company, of Newport
News, Va. So thoroughly have they
carried out their contract that, not
only have the vessels won the highest
praise for their workmanship, finish
and performance, but their excess de-
velopment of speed has already netted
the contractors the snug bonus OF
$l51 ,452.
