BITTER FIGHT TO BE MADE.
President's Message Will Urge Action
on Nicaragua Canal.

President's Message viii Urge Action
on Nicaragua Canal.
New York. Nov. GA dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says: In
President McKinley's message to con.
gress will be very strong and urgent
appeal for immediate legislative ac-
ton for the construction OF the Mica
ragua canal under government direc-
ton. The president will point out
that our new connections in the Pa
ciflo and in the West Indies make 1t
imperative for the United States to
build and control the great internation-
al waterway, and that delay in author
izing its construction will jeopardize
the chances for American control in
the future.
President Mckinley fully appre-
ciates the difficulties in the way Of
securing prompt action, but be and
other canal advocates also appreciate
that failure this year may mean per-
manent failure. Hence preparations
are going forward for one Of TIE most
bitter fights ever waged IN the interest
of the canal.
The action of the Nicaragua govern
ment in granting new concession for
the construction Of the canal conditional
upon the forfeiture of the contract with
the Maritime Canal Company In Octo-
Der next has added new complications
to the difficulties in the way of legisla.
ton. The authorities consider that it
adds another element Of opposition to
prompt action on the pending Morgan
bill, which contemplates the construc-
tion of the canal under government
direction on the basis OF the concession
granted to the Maritime Canal Com
pany. The Morgan bill in all its essen
tial features is understood to have the
Endorsement OF the administration.
1t is supposed that the new company
will be inimical to the Maritime Canal
Company. 1t is assumed if it does not
succeed in selling out to the concession
aires, it will exert it's influence to pre-
vent action by congress this winter in
order that its contract may go into
effect next October. Besides oppose
tion from this new company, friends of
the Morgan bill will have the powerful
Huntington and Panama canal inter
ests arrayed against them. Friends of
the latter party are already in Wash
ington. preparing for campaign
against the Nicaragua canal.
J. L. Morgan is to be factor in the
coming legislative war. 1t is stated
that while in Nicaragua last winter he
made an arrangement with President
Zelaya to look after the interest of Mic
aragua In this country.

WINTER IN ALASKA.
The Snow Lies Deep on White and
Chukoot Passes.

Port Townsend, Wash, Nov. 9.-The
City of Topeka arrived tonight from
Alaska, bringing 124 passengers. She
reports that heavy snOwstorms have
visited various sections of Alaska and
nearly all mining operations have been
suspended except quartz mills located
near tide water. On November 2 foui
feet of snow fell on Chilkoot and White
passes, which completely put stop to
travel.
Telephone messages from Lake Lind
emann to Skagway announce that about
400 persons are snowbound there.
Another rich strike is reported from
the head of Salmon river, below Quiet
lake.
According to John Odds, pioneer
mining and business man of Alaska,
800 claims have been filed and recorded
in tie Atlin mining district, and about
1000 men will winter there. He pre-
diets that Atlin will have population
OF at least 10, 900, and that the output
OF gold will nearly ii not quite equal
that OF Dawson.
1t is stated that an English syndicate
has bought up about 1900 acres Of
placer ground in the Atlin district.

THIEVES MAKE A GOOD HAUL
Postofflce at Arago Robbed
by Two Masked Men.
ABOUT $500 WAS. SECURED
Postmaster Was Compelled to Open
the safe-sheriT and Posse Found
the Tracks of the Robbers.

Marshfeld, Or. Nov. 9.-Last night
at about s o'clock two masked robbers
entered the postoffice at Arago. The
office is in the residence of W. Ii.
Schroeder, the postmaster. Mr.. Schroe-
der was in the upper part of the house
when the men entered, but man,
Peter Crow. was In the Office. The
robbers ordered him ontside. They
tied his feet and hands, and fastened
him securely to milk cart, in such
manner that his face was down, and he
was unable to turn. They then re-
turned to the house and forced Mr..
Schroeder to come down stairs into the
office, and at the points Of revolvers
compelled him to open the safe. They
helped themselves to its contents.
There was about 81. taken, 81, 800
belonging to the Arago creamery and
5000 being postal funds. Postmaster
Schroeder is a cripple. and was unable
to offer resistance. Sheriff Gage and a
posse found the tracks of the robbers
early this morning and followed them
until dark. The country is we'll guard
ed tonight, and the sheriff thinks they
cannot possibly escape.

ILLINOIS 3L.YNCHiNG.
Miners Quickly AvengA 'an Assault on
One of Their Daughters.

One OF Their Daughters.
Macon, ILL.,, Nov. 9.-The first lynch.
ing in Central Illinois in many years
took place here early this morning,
when 100 miners from Toluca, a min
ing town a short distance east of here,
broke into the county Jail, took out +.
W. Stewart, Toluca negro, and hanged
him to a tree.
The work was done quickly and quiet
ly. Only few late stragglers noticed
the number of strangers who kept ar
irving in town from the east. They
were we'll organized, however, and
shortly after midnight marched in a
body to the Jail, broke in the doors after
a short parley with the sheriff, dragged
the negro from his cell, carried him to
tree mile from town, where the re.
mainder OF the party awaited them,
and there swung him to limb.
Stewards crime was assault on Friday
evening upon Mary o. Brien, the daugh-
ter of one of the Toluca miners.
Although many in Macon deplore the
lynching, there is general impression
that the negro was punished as he de-
served, and the sheriff seems to think
that public sentiment would not justify
him in making strenuous efforts to cap
ture the lynchers.

COAL MINE DISASTER.
Seven Men Killed Through an Engi-
neer's Carelessness


neer's Carelessness
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Nov. S.-Seven
men were killed and three fatally in
jured at the Exeter colliery of the Lee
high Coal Company, at West Pittston,
today. The accident was due to the al
legged carelessness of Engineer David
Price, who. acting in disobedience of
positive orders, caused three cars to
run in to the top OF the shaft. These
down the 360-foot shaft and crashed
with frightful force upon a carriage car
rying 10 men. Seven were almost In Z
stantly. killed. They are:
Michael Smith, Andrew Tinko,
Michael Podesabanny, Michael Bra
zuke, Joseph e. Culock, Michael Was
lokse. Joseph Andrewsky.
The accident occurred as the men
were going 10 work, and being sent
down the shaft in parties OF 10. Price,
in charge of the little donkey engine.
was shifting loaded cars from the new
red ash shaft some distance away.
This track approached the head of Ex-
eter shaft, and at a distance of 30 feet
from it curved gently to the right and
around the shaft to breaker. AT a
point where this track commenced to
curve was switch and 30 feet of track
leading to the head of the shaft, which
was used for storing crippled cars.
Close to the head of the shaft 1t was
closed by head block.
The train was going at good speed,
when, instead of curving around the
shaft, the cars dashed into the switch,
which was open. struck the head block,
dashed through it, and three OF them
toppled down the shaft. About 30 feet
from the bottom they struck the car
rage with awful force, completely
wrecking it. The mass of wreckage
fell to the foot of the shaft, choking it,
and when, after hard work, the men
were extricated, seven were dead and
three fatally hurt.

WENT DOWN DURING 4 GALE
Cruiser Maria Teresa Lost in
the Bahamas.
NOW LIES THREE MILES DEEP
Strain Opened Leaks which Could Not
BE stopped-The Men Were Saved,
but Lost All Their Personal Effects.

Charleston, S. c.. Nov. s.-The tug
Merritt put into Charleston this morn.
ing, and reported the loss of the cruiser
Maria Teresa off San Salvador, the
Bahamas, November 3, in the midst Of
a furious storm.
The cruiser left Caimanera. Cuba, on
the morning OF October 80 in tow for
New York. She had already passed
Cape Maysi and started northeast
around the Bahamas. A furious storm
overlook her, and in her condition she
was unable to weather the gale. The
strain opened rents in the hull which
had been patched to enable her to make
the journey. and she began to fill rap
idly. The Merritt took off Lieutenant
Commander Harris and crew from the
sinking ship and che soon went down.
The Merritt brought the officers and
men here. No lives were lost.
This afternoon the survivors came
ashore. They lost all their clothing
and personal effects.
The Teresa sank 30 miles off Walling
island at midnight Tuesday. She met
the storm Tuesday morning and began
to strain. Parts OF the hull thought to
be safe became weakened, 1ivets broke
and water made rapidly in the hold.
The boilers began to give way and
finally the water extinguished the fires
in the engine-room. The pumps would
not work. The whole vessel showed
signs of collapse ana the men stood
stripped awaiting orders to quit the
ship. The Vulcan was towing the
Teresa while the Merritt rescued ia
of the crew, made up OF volunteers
from the Cincinnati. Newark and Vul-
can. Ropes were cut and she then zap.
idly filed.
The Merritt then headed for Charles
ton with the rescued. The crew left
this afternoon for Norfolk.
Opinion at the Navy Department.
Washington, Nov. S.-No orders were
issued by the navy department up to
the close Of Office hours as to the dispo-
sItion of Lieutenant Commander Harris
and his crew, and Captain Crowin-
shield, OF the bureau of navigation, said
no orders would be formulated tonight.
1t is the opinion of the navy depart
ment that the government has lost, be-
sides the value of the ship herself, only
the amount of the per diem of $500 per
day through the sinking Of the vessel,
because the contract appears to have
required the delivery by the wrecking
company of the vessel at the navy yard
at Norfolk. According to the contract,
salvage was to consist of such further
compensation over or above the per
diem and stipulated expense as might
be awarded by a board appointed for
that purpose, consisting of a represent
alive of each party and third party,
their survey to be made after the ves-
sells delivery at Norfolk. The first
thing In order now is court OF inquiry;
in fact, the department has no option
in the case of the loss of a vessel under
such conditions. This court is re-
quired to fix the responsibility for the
loss
