fitted by the pension, being an incurablc
inmate OF the state hospital for the in

There is one Scotch regiment OF mill
tia which does not desire any glory in
getting killed by the Dutch. 1t is the
Invcrnesshire regiment OF over 1000
men which was recently modified at
Aldersl,ot. The brawny fellows form
one OF the finest militia battalions in
Great Britain, but they refused to go
to South Africa-unless they got

Transvaal was conquered. They are
willing to do duty at Gibraltar, Malta,
or in ireland but not in the equatorial
regions Of the dark continent.

Senator Pettigrew, OF South Da-

all the organs Of imperialism in the
country for advocating the cause OF the
Filipinos against McKinley's criminal
aggression. He was violently attacked
by them for exposing in the Senate of
the United States the presidents in
famous treaty with the Sultan OF Sulu,
which sanctions polygamy and slavery

At recent pro-Bocr meeting in Buf

At recent pro-Bocr meeting in Buff
falo, N. Y, Rev. L. NJ. Powers, a
Protestant minister, made ringing
speech in favor OF liberty, and said:
They say England is our friend, that
she stood by us in our war with Spain.
Why should we feel grateful towards
England who was our opprcssor for
centuries? Up to two years ago there
was no feeling there OF love for u.s.
Only when we sank to her level as a
predatory nation did England respect
us. The friendship Of England and
America today is only the friendship Of
two thieves and robbers. If we should
both lay claim to the same gold mine
how long would that friendship last?

ALvORD ARRAIGNED.
First Witnesses Were Officers and Em.
ployes of the Bank.

First witnesses We're Officers and Em.
pIoyes of the Bank.
New York, Nov. 12.-Cornelius L..
Alvord. Jr., the note teller of the First
National bank, who is accused of en-.
bezzling $4,000 of the banks funds,
was arraigned before United Sattea
Commissioner Shields in the criminal
branch of the United States circuit
court here today.
Whiting E. Snow, assistant cashier
of the First National bank, said he had
known Alvord 20 years, the past 10 OF
which he had been the note teller OF
the First National bank. He explained
in detail the duties of the note teller
and the banks clearing house transac-
tions. He explained the balance
sheets, which showed shortage OF
$500, 900 in Alvord's department. The
figures showed that the shortage var
led, and that from October 10 to Octo-
Der IS it was $780,, 900. Alvord's at
torney led Snow to admit that since
the latter first became an off Ger of the
bank, two years ago, he had never
known officers of the bank to examine
the assets of the institution.
Cashier William Reed, of the First
National bank, was the next witness.
He said that the last time the bank had
an examination was October 15. He
had no personal knowledge of any re-
port of the examination.
Merton V. Moore, settling clerk for
the bank, identified column of figures
on sheet that was prepared for and
sent to the clearing house as having
been made by himself. He explained
the details of making up the sheets
for the clearing house. Then, one by
one, he identified the sheets made up
for the banking days in October. Mr..
Moore testified that two figures in the
sheets made up Tor October Is had been
changed. The figures as they stood
were not his. He did not know who
had made the changes. It was brought
out that the sheet had been in the pos
session of Alyord as it had been made
up by Moore.

Washington, Nov. 12.-All the men,
bers of the cabinet except Secretaries
Long and Wilson attended the meeting
today. They remained IN session un-
til nearly 2 o'clock, and discussed the
Chinese situation, as we'll as matters
pertaining to Cuba, the Philippines
and Porto Rico.
Two of the three hours that the ses-
sion lasted were occupied IN a discus
sion of foreign affairs, necessitated in
part by the fact that the president in
tends to treat this subject exhaustively
in his forthcoming message to con-
gress. Reference was made to the ex-
pressions in portions Of the European
press that the United States policy re-
garding China would undergo marked
change after the election. 1t is author
itatively announced that, after an ex-
huastive review of every step of the
Chinese difficulty, from its inception
up to the present moment. by Secre-
tary Hay, the cabinet ratified every de-
tail, and, moreover, unanimously ex-

TRAINS CRASH TOGETHER.
Three Men Killed Outright and Tvs
Fatally Injured.

Three Men h1lled oubrlSnG anu W.
Fatally Injured.
Roseburg, Or, Nov. 12.-The worst
wreck ever kown on this division oc-
Cured about daylight this morning,
two miles south of Roseburg. Two
freights, the regular No. 225, south
bound, and long extra coming north,
smashed together on curve in
heavy fog. Engineer Sam Hendricks,
of No. 225, and Fireman Wilhelm, of
the extra, were caught beneath the
wreck and almost instantly killed.
Fireman Ed Riddle. Engineer Walter
brennan and Head Brakeman Charles
Campbell, were all badly injured, the
latter two doubtless fatally. Riddle
lost a foot and suffered broken left
arm. Campbell's head was badly
hurt, his right leg crushed, his left arm
broken, and it is feared his back was
broken. brennan received cut
through the skull over the left eye,
about three inches in length, which
exposed the brain. His leg was broken
and he received many bad cuts and
bruises.
One of the trainmen ran to town with
the news and an engine and caboose
were sent out after the thrre injured
men, who were cared for by three ply
sicians on arriving in the city. Some
time was required to get Hendricks
and Wilhelm from the wreck. The
latter was pinned down in the cab, the
Goals from the f1rebox burning off both
his legs to the knees. The bodies were
brought to the undertakers Immediately.
The necks of both of the men were
broken.
The scene of the wreck defies ade-
quate description. The boiler of the
extra s engine had literally forced it's
way through the other engine its full
length, but neither engine had left the
track. They were both partly covered
by wrecked freight cars. the engine of
No. 225 was entirely covered, and a
badly broken-up box car surmounted
the heap. apparently balancing on the
smokestack. This part of the wreck
caught fire once, but the flames were
quickly extinguished.
It is stated that the wreck was due
to misinte1 probation of orders on the
part of Engineer brennan of the extra.
Superintendent T.. R. Fields happen
ed to be in the city, and is looking after
the dead and wounded men.
Coroner Twitchell has summoned a
! jury and will hold an inquest tomor-
row on the remains of Wilhelm and
Hendricks.

GALE SPENDS ITS FORCE.
Heavy Winds on the Great Lakes Are
Abating.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-Professor Cox.
forecast official of the weather bureau,
says the gale which broke on the lakes
Wednesday night and proved to be the
heaviest storm of the year, Is abating.
On Lake Superior four consorts were
torn from their steamers and three of
them are still adrift or have gone
ahore. The schooner Stafford was
wrecked at Good Harbor, Mich, and
may be a total loss. The schooner
Maumee Valley was driven ashore near
Port Colborne. Several large steamers
were driven back to Chicago after be-
ing exposed to the gale for few
hours, and large boats were generally
seeking shelter on Lakes Surpefior,
Michigan aid Huron.
The wind, which at many places at
tanned velocity of over 40 miles an
hour, was accompanied by fine snow,
and. with the bitter cold, made it hard
work for the mariners.
