HUDSON RIVER WRECK INVESTI-
CATION.

Cold Springs, N. Y, Nov. 13.-The,
coroner's investigation of the recent
wreck on the New York Central and
Hudson River road at Garrisons has
been resumed here. 4. r. Sparrow,
division roadmaster of PeekskilI, tes-
titled that the tracks at the scene of
the accident had never been moved in
or out
This was in contradiction to the tes-
timony of Michael Clare. former sec
ton master, who has testified that the
company moved the tracks outward in
order to reduce the curve. He said
he thought the accident was caused
by the engine jumping the track and
that the engine ploughed out the bank
and wall as it plunged into the river.

Toronto, Ont, Nov. 13.-A special
meeting of the Canadian WheeImens'
association has just been held here to
hear the report of George H, Orr, pres
ident, who has just returned from a
visit to the Pacific coast in the inter-
est Of the association. After a leng-
thy review of the situation in the coast
cities, Mr.. Orr recommends that the.
c. w. A, recognize the California as
ISOLATION Of cycling clubs. Mr.. Orr
claimed that this step was absolutely
necessary to enable the Pacific coast
clubs to affiliate with the c. w. A. to
promote good racing meets The as
ISOLATION decided to accept Mr.. Orr's
report. This will likely lead to a rup-
ture in the relations between the L.
A. W. and c. w. A. Before adjourn
ing the meeting placed itself on record
as opposed to Sunday racing and will
suspend any member taking part in
4 Sunday meet.

TELEGRAPH TALKS SENSE.

London, Nov. 13.-The Daily Tele-
graph in an editorial on the infiamable
condition of the dispute between the
United States and Spain, says: "A
rash act might at any moment bring
a war which could mean only ruin for
Spain"
The paper foresees that the United
States will be bound to interfere to
stop the conflict in Cuba" but it re-
fuses to believe that the American peo-
pie will prefer a sanguinary and bar
rem victory over gallant and exhaust
ed nation, to "hnfading laurels OF a
humane mediator and Christian max
err"

SAVED THE SETTLERS HOMES

I
Boise, idaho, Nov. 13-SOme time ago
suit was brought by the Northern
Pacific railrosd to eject about 500 set
tiers in Northern Idaho, who had set
tied upon lands which the road claim
e dunder It's grant from the govern
ment This land embraces several
hundred thousand acres and is situat-
ed in TIE Couer d'Alene land district
in Kootenai county. When the gov
eminent made the grant to the road
it included every alternate section for
forty miles back from the line of the
road, excluding the land held as In
dian reservations. When the Indians
coded a large portion of their reserva-
ton to the government the road claim
ed this, and under the grant, the case
was brought before United States
Judge Beatty, who decided that the
land belonged to the government and
that the settlers were entitled to pos
session. The attorneys for the road
appealed to the Circuit court which
has just dismissed the appeal. This
action saves the homes of hundreds of
Idaho settlers as no further appeal will
be taken.

governor Leedy's Reasons For Offering To
Supply Potpies to New York's Poor.
Governor John w. Leedy of Kansas
was sincere when he offered to furnish
the poor of New York city with all the
jack rabbit meat they could eat. The
offer was not prompted by philanthropy,
but by desire to get rid of pest that
is multiplying by millions annually and
destroying the young fruit orchards as
fast as Kansas farmers can plant them.
L A dozen counties are now offering a
bounty of cents for every pair of long
ears and scalp brought TO the county
treasurer. At this price for bunny's
scalp there are scores of ablebodied
men in this state who are making good
wages killing rabbits, to say nothing
about the sport connected with 1T. The
board of commissioners for Sumner
county were the first to inaugurate a
war on the jack rabbit. A few weeks
| ago they offered bounty of cents for
every one killed The last report from
that county stated that the county treas
urer had paid bounties ON more than
1000 rabbits.
