through a severe electrical storm when
ono mile south of Rose Centre, and
lightning struck a tank car full of oil
while it was passing over a 3o-foot
bridge. The explosion was terrific
and could be heard Il long distance.
Those who saw it claim that the flames
leaped thousand feet high, like rock
cts. The tank car was in the middle
of the train and when the engineer
saw what had happened he took all
the cars that had passed over the
bridge to Rose Centre and then went
TO Holly to report. The oil spread
over the surface of the water and
burned for hours. Four cars of iron,
steel and machinery and six empty
box ears were totally destroyed and
the bridge burned to the waters edge.
No deaths are reported.

Arrangements for the Cable is Completed


The final details have been arranged
fot the laying OF the cable between
the United States and Germany, the
last step being a satisfactory arrange
ment concerning government messages
and rates of cable tolls. The author
tiles at Washington have been informed
that the actual work of laying the
cable will begin during the present
summer months, so that the first mes.
sage may pass over the line during the
coming fall In this connection it is
denied in official circles that Germany
reciprocated the courtesy Of allowing
this cable 70 land, by granting a SINH
lar right TO land an American cable
line on one of the new German posses
sions, the Carolines.

Councils Cannot Ignore Liquor Dealers

In deciding the case of Hawkins VS..
the village of Litchfeld, the supreme
court made an important ruling rela-
tive to the authority of village boards
in connection with liquor bonds. 1t
was contended on behalf of the village
that the council could suppress saloons
by simply refusing to consider bonds
at all The court decides against this
contention, holding that it is the duty
of the council to pass upon the suffi-
cheney of the bond, and if it is found
to be sufficient to approve it.

Fortified Sheep and Mans Body Fou

Fortified Sheep and Mans Body Found.
While digging in a sand pit near
Pontiac, Jack Wilder unearthed a pet
rified sheep of more than usual size.
The animal had evidently been buried
for scores of years. The body, head.
legs and tail were perfectly preserved
and the weight was nearly 100 pounds.
Shortly afterwards a workman in the
Pearce gravel pit unearthed human
skeleton. The skeleton was also in
perfect condition with the exception
of a small hole at the base of the skull.
How any one came to be buried in such
an out-of-the-way place is n mystery,
and it is thought that perhaps the hole
at the base of the skull may have some
connection with the strange burying
place.

A CHANCE
Fer American Manufacturers to Sc.
cure a Large Share Of Trade in
Central and Eastern Russia.

Washington, March S.-A report to
the State Department from Consul
Covert, at Lyons, lays great stress on
the desirability of the United States
being fully represented at the coming
annual fair at Nizhni-Novgoro, Rus
STA, which is held during August and
September. This is the great annual
gathering of buyers and sellers who
represent the commercial interests of
Russia and the buying public of all
Eastern and Asiatic Russia. 1t is a
market that has up to the present time
been visited only by tourists, but
France has been studying the subject,
and an official publication on the sub
ject, the result of over a years study
by a special agent of the government,
gives mass of information concerning
the annual fair and the immense popu
lation that is to be reached through
representation there. Russia is MAX
ing great efforts toward industrial eX-
pouolO1l anu l4IC QCNCIOPIhCilC VI tliC
immense mineral resources of the Ural
mountains and of all the country open
ed by the Trans-Siberian railroad The
imperial government has granted free
trade for the next ten years in all ar
ticles entering Russia for use in the
Ural and Siberian mines. Specimens
of the machinery included in this ukase
will be largely exhibited at the Mimi
fair this summer. Everything per-
tanning to railroad, mining and agri
cultural interests will receive the at
tention of tho people who represent
these interests, now on the eve of de-
velopment. The Russian government
great manufacturing countries of the
world in prosecuting its commercial
conquest of the populous East, and is
making every effort just now to intro
duce modern machinery of the kinds
referred to which it is not now in a
position to manufacture at home. All
agricultural implements, fertilizers,
ETC., which may be exhibited at the
great fair will be brought to the atten-
ton of every farmer in Asiatic and
European Russia through the medium
of ''artels," or agricultural societies,
which under the encouragement of the
Russian government have multiplied
rapidly in the past decade.
France has established a consulate
at Mimi, and her commercial repre-
sentative there lays great stress on the
necessity not only of France being
we'll represented by manufacturing
agents at the fair, but of sending such
exhibits as will bring the manufacturer
in direct contract with the Russian con-
sumner, since the people will not buy on
oral representations, engravings and
catalogues.

THE PlTTSBURG STRIKE.
There Were No Exciting Features. Yes
terday.


PITTSBURG, Pa, March s.-The strike
at the Schoen Pressed Steel Car works
was without exciting features to-day.
There were no more arrests and quiet pre-
vailed about the plant, which is still
guarded by force of police. The various
departments We're in operation and the
statement from the strikers that their
ranks had been increased by number Of
workmen, was denied by the officials of
the concern A meeting OF the strikers
was held during the day. at which ad-
dresses were made by several foreign So
ciaEsts.
The speakers cautioned the strikers
against violence and there was no dis
order.
The laborers at the Pittsburg Forge &
Iron Company's works struck to-day for
an advance of . cents a day, and the
guide. forge and wire mills are closed
down.
The strike at the Schoen plant of the
Pressed Steel Car Company is settled. At
least the officials of the company say it
is Members of the firm say they have
received assurances from at least 500 Of
the strikers that they would be on hand
for work in the morning. No labor or
ganization will be recognized, but the men
will be dealt with as individuals On
Friday morning the men will be paid off
and those not appearing will be dis
charged.
A conference between the firm and the
strikers was held this evening, when the
men were told that the advance volun-
tarily given them by the firm last week
would be paid and anything in reason
would be granted by the company, but no
labor organization would be heard. 1t is
believed that by tomorrow or next day
the plant will be in full operation

Russia, England and Italy Gradually Get
ting Mixed Up on Celestial Territory.
Pekin, March S.-The Italian min
lister here regards as an insult the
manner in which the Tsung Ii Yamen,
or Chinese foreign office. has treated
Italy's demand for a coaling station at
San-Mun bay, and a rupture of diplO-
matte relations between italy and
China is probable.
1t is believed Russia has reiterated
his protest against the British railroad
loan in order to make the contract
ground for complaint against the Chi
nese and thus seek compensation, ter
ritorial or otherwise.
Pokin, March S.-Sir Charles NJ. Mac
Donald, the British minister, has in
formed the officials of the Chinese for
eign Office that any attempt to repu-
date the railroad contract will be re-
garded as a breach of faith meriting
retributive measures. At the same
time the minister recalled Lord Sails
bury's assurances of support for China
if another power attempted to force
her to repudiate the contract.
Rome, March S.-The Tribuna says
it learns that the Chinese government
has offred to send to the Italian min
lister Signor MARITIME written apology
through Sir Claude Macdonald, Brit
ism minister at Pekin for the terms in
which the Tsung Ii Yamen couched
China's refusal to grant the concession
recently demanded by Italy of San
Nun Bay, province of Che Kiang, to
be used as an Italian naval base and
