NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.


But the Brave Engineer, who Stuck TO
His Post, Was Fatally Injursd---FIytr
Was HunnIng 80 Miles an Hour when
Collision Occurred.
The Montreal flyer on the Fitchburg di-
vision of the Boston and Maine railroad
ran into three cars of a working train be-
tween State Line and Fitzwilliam at 20
Wednesday afternoon. The engine of the
flyer was derailed, the engineer, Frank
Hughes of Fitchburg, was fatally injured,
dying in the evening at the Elliot hospital
in Keene, while the passengers we're more
or less shaken up, and the track was block
ed for five hours. Fireman Judd jumped
and escaped with a few bruises, and, as
there was no one on the working cars, only
these two were injured.
The real cause of the accident is not ex-
actly known, for the three working cars
were apparently running wild when they
met the train rounding a curve. 1t ia
known that a gang of men were at work
further up the line, and the supposition is
that the three cars broke away unnoticed.
The heroism of Engineer Hughes in
sticking to his post, shutting off steam and
pulling the sand valve probably saved the
passengers from serious injury if not death
itself. He had both legs broken and re-
ceived internal injuries. He leaves a wild
ow and two children in Fitchburg. At the
time of the accident the flyer was going al
a rate of DO miles an hour.

tries was of great value TO the state
department during the war between
China and Japan, involving as it did all
three countries, for the struggle really
began in Korea.
While in China Mr. ROckhill made a
personal exploration of the interior Of
Tibet. and his journey through that
strange country as described in his
reports and in a volume of travels, at
tractcd much attention in the scientific
world. When Mr.. Rockhill returned
to the United States, he was made
chief clerk of the department of state,
and while in that place also acted as
the representative Of the department
on the government board of control at
the Chicago Worlds fair. In 1894 he
was appointed third assistant secretary
of state, holding this office until the
early part of the present administra-
ton, when he was sent as minister to
Greece Roumania and Servia. He re-
signed this post about a year ago to
! become director of the bureau Of
! American republics. Last April he
was married to Miss Perkins at Pom
| fret, Conn.
In the last six months Mr.. Rockhill
| has been the chief adviser of Secretary
Hay on Chinese questions, particularly
in the negotiations to secure the open
door, and in the present crisis his adj
vice has been regarded as invaluable.

Two Injured by Lightning.

John Sullivan and David Vigneault Of
Turner's Falls were seriously injured by
the lightning during the storm Friday.
They were in shed connected with the
brickyard of Patrick Welch at Montague
city. Lightning struck the roof and then
passed through a post into the ground.
Sullivan, who was standing with his back
to the post, was rendered unconscious.
Vigneault, who is about II years of age,
was near by and received severe shock.
He is now able to be out, and Sullivan is
believed to be out of danger. A third man
was on some brick in the shed and was
thrown to the ground. He was slightly
bruised A severe wind storm accompan-
led the rain.
A thunderstorm visited Greenfield shortly
before noon Friday. Rain fell for 20 min
utes in such volumes that the drains were
more than filled. In front of the town hal
the water reached to within one inch OF
the top of the curb, depth of about II
inches. All traffic was stopped during th'
| storm.

William Woodville Rockhill, the
China, is a trained diplomat especially
experienced in oriental affairs. His
special duty will be to keep this gov
eminent informed of the true state
of affairs there and to act under the
instructions of the state department in
a diplomatic capacity in negotiations
with such Chinese authorities as it
may be deemed advisable hereafter to
recognize.
Mr.. Rockhill on his arrival in China
will Immediately begin his investiga-
ton into the attitude of the southern
viceroys and leading imperial officials
in that part of China, in this doubtless
having the cooperation of Baron Won
Mumm, the new German envoy, who
is an intimate friend of Mr.. Rockhill.
Mr.. Rockhills familiarity with China,
its language. history, policy, people
and diplomacy, is expected to prove of
the highest value. The scope of his
credentials and his authority and his
position will contribute to give him
sources of trustworthy information not
open TO consular officers, and with his
extended diplomatic experience he is
expected to keep the government fully
informed on all the topics in regard
to which officials most require informa-
ton.
Mr.. Rockhill was appointed second
secretary of legation at Picking in 1884
and within a year became first secre-
tary there. In 1896 he was transferred
to Korea and for a year was charge
d'affaires al interim at Seoul The
knowledge he gained of the peculiari-

methods in his service in these coun-

For mastery inactivity and deplora-
BILE deafness and dumbness the ChinesC
tsung-li-yamen leads the world. This
institution is something like the for
Cign offices Of other nations. 1t is a
buffer between the rulers of China and
foreign ENJOYS. Everything has to sift
through the tsung-li-yamen before it
reaches Celestial royalty. The yamen
has much dignity, but no authority. 1t
can only mutely listen to representa-
tons from the ministers and promise
to call the attention Of higher authori-
ties to the matter. 1t cannot take posi-
tive action, though it pretends to do
so. Concerning the office and its fuuc-
tons, Archibald Il. Colquhoun, the well
known traveller and author, says in his
book on "China In Transformation"
"The tsung-li-yamen, or office of for
eign affairs. was established by impe-
rial decree in January, 1861. 1t was the
first step made by the imperial authori-
ties to admit of diplomatic relations in
the capital. 1t was originally com
posed of three ministers, who were also
members of other boards, but its num-
Der increased from time to time, and
now stands at eight-thrce Mantchoos
and five Chinese. This new creation
never acquired any authority until the
pressure of external events compelled
the empcror's council to make use of
it and to recognize 1t as an integral
part of the government. 1t was not
until 1890 that it first figured in the
red book. n complete record of state
departments.
THE tsung-li-yamen was at first a
disappointment. 1t fell into the con-
dition of an ordinary government de-
partment, with special vices Of its own,
an institution for the prevention of
business. Its fatal incapacity lay in
the fact that it was a body without a

head, for. though there was always a
nominal president, he absented himself
when he chose.
The yamen, until forced into greater
activity by events resulting from the
japanese war, served merely as the
cold water which eXtinguished the hot
irons thrust into it by the ardor Of the
foreign agents. To transact business

cit is beating the air. he said, to
talk to them of treaty rights and OBJ
legations, the claims of justice or bene-
fits that accrue to them, as TO us, by
more liberal policy. The tyro in such
work is at first charmed with the cour-
tesy and patience shown in listening
to what he hopes may prove convinc-
ing arguments.
They are even met, in reply, with
a certain show of appreciative in
tellgence and willingness to be bet
ter informed. When, however, many
such interviews have exhausted the
subject, perhaps at final meeting for
the purpose of settlement, when there
is nothing more to be said on either
side, his proposal to settle terms Of
agreement is met by n request in the
lOudest accents, with a perfectly I'M
moved countenance, to explain what is
wanted, as he is ready 10 hear!
"And the modus operandi was still
more infinitely depicted by a CORE
spondent of The Times in 1884, cited in
the Life of Sir Harry Parkes,' by
| Stanley Lane Poole. He says;

Severely Bitten by "a Horse.

Mrs. Henry Martin, who lives near Tur-

bitten by horse on Sunday. She accom-
panied a party of Greenfield people who
went to Millers Falls on that day berrying
The horse was left standing in an extreme
ly warm place, and Mrs. Martin wished to
lead the animal to a more shady spot
When she approached the horse he bit her
viciously in the arm and breast The pain
and the shock rendered Mrs. Martin I'M
conscious several minutes. She was taken
home and medical assistance summoned.
The flesh was torn from the bones of her
breast and her arm badly lacerated She
is now believed to be out of danger, but it
will be several weeks before she RECEIVERS

The discovery of the fact that bicxyde
of sodium absorbs the carbonic acid gas
from air that has been breathed and re-
news the oxygen, is of great Importance
and can be made practically useful in
many ways. That the chemical has the
property mentioned was demonstrated re-
Gently by experiments before the French
Academy of Science in Paris. Equipped
with an apparatus containing a supply of
air and quantity of the bioXyde, divers
will be able to do their work without the
handicap of an air-pipe connecting them
with a pump above; miners will be able to
enter passages filled with noxious gases,
and firemen go into buildings dense with
smoke, with impunity. Use of the chemi-
cal will facilitate the use of submarine
boats. The discovery has naturally arous
ed much interest.
