SuffOcated Killed by Train
While Crossing the Track.

Vancouver, B. G., June ga terrible
accident occurred whereby 80 Indians
met death by drowning near Laggan,
in the Rocky mountains, on the line Of
the Canadian Pacific railway. They
were crossing the famous Lake Of the
Clouds when two canoes were upset
and all their occupants sank. The
lakes waters are ice cold, coming d.
rect from the glaciers This is the sea-
son for the holding Of pot latches, y
or the annual feast Of the Indians,
and at day break four large war canoes,
with about 10 men in each, started
across the lake to the great pot latch"
ground on the other side. The Indians
had been drinking during the night and
not one Of the boats,but had half
tipsy crew. The Indians got half
mile into the lake when they ran into a
dense fog, which one Of the survivors
described as being SO thick that they
could not see ahead. Then, amidst
shouting between the boats, some one
proposed that they race for the other
shore for the possession Of the best
tents there. They started rowing very
fast and had not gone 200 yards
through the dense fog when two Of the
boats crashed into each other The
crafts struck each other slantwise.
throwing all the occupants into the
water The boats were bound with
hides, and when these broke through,
the craft sank. Out of all the rowers,
only two were rescued.
THREE PERSONS AspHYxIATED BY GAS.
New York, June 5.-Mrs. Johanna
Schilling, IS years of age, and her two
young daughters, Gertrude, aged ten,
and Edna, aged eight, were found dead
yesterday afternoon in their home in a
tenement. All had been asphyxiated
by gas, doubtless turned on by the
mother, with the idea of numbering her
two children and then committing sui
eide. The tragedy evidently grew
out Of quarrel between the woman
and her husband, Otto Sehilling. a
tailor.

The Hague, June s.-The American
mediation scheme was unanimously
adopted at Wednesdays sitting Of tb'
subcommittee, which embodied as arti
Gle VII. the scheme prepared by thu
subcommittee, with few alterations
1t was also resolved to prohibit tn,
use of explosives from balloons an(
explosive bullets. An agreement was
found to be impossible on all the i'm
portant proposals and the conviction
is growing more than ever that the
work OF the first commission is doomed
to failure.
The first commission by a vote Of Is
to has adopted resolution prohibit
ing the use of flattened bullets. Italy,
Austria and Great Britain formed the
minority.
The second section of the Red Cross
committee is also encountering difficult
ties, as the American and British dele
gates are opposing the proposed regu-
lations as being too stringent.
Commission No. has appointed a
small committee to settle the details Of
the method Of extending the Geneva
convention to maritime warfare. The
American delegates proposed to apply
to private property at sea the article Of
the Brussels convention excluding from
capture private property on land.
An objection was raised to discus
sion OF the proposal on the ground that
1t was not covered by Count Mura-
vieff's circular, and eventually II was
decided to refer the matter to pie
nary sitting OF the conference, which
Is expected to reject the proposal,
since France, Russia and Great Britain
oppose It.

A MIDNIGHT CONFERENCE.
Washington, June 5.-Acting Secre-
tary Of War Meiklejohn and Adjt. Gen.
Corbin had conference with the presi.
dent after midnight Sunday. They had
been summoned BY the president, it
was understood. What the nature or
result Of the conference was can only
be conjectured as yet, as the parties
to 1t declined to discuss 1t. Mr.. Meikle-
john and Gen. Corbin were with the
president about half an hour, leaving
shortly before one o'clock. The late
ness OF the meeting attracted more
than usual attention, as there has been
no recent occasion for late conferences.
Upon returning to his hotel Mr.. Meikle-
john said in response to all inquiries
that there was nothing to make public
and that the subject under considera.
ton was not of a serious character.

man and Serene E. Payne, New York's
rival aspirants for the speakership, will |
