enormous losses annually inflicted by
forest fires. Washington and Oregon
have great bowers in their splendid for

Washington is rejoicing over the largest

mission of an order from Philadelphia to
hold the excursion train. When asked if
this order finally got through he said he
could not say until after the inyestiga-
ton.
What Superintendent Says.
"'Hhe milk train" Mr.. Sweigart said
"left Bethlehem at 500 a. m. and the ex-
cursiOn train 45 minutes later. The en-
gineers of both trains had duplex orders
informing each that the milk train was
to be side tracked at Lansdale to allow
the excursion train to pass. AT Per-
kassie the trains were 21 minutes apart.
AT Sellersville they should have been II
minutes apart but instead were only IL
minutes apart. Here Dispatcher Groves
tried to get the orders through to hold
the excursion train. At Telford. AZ
miles from the scene of the wreck, there
were six minutes between the trains and
at Soudcrton only three minutes. The
station agent at the latter place should
have shown stop signal, as is required
when trains are five minutes or less
apart. An investigation only will show
whether he did or whether the engineer
failed to obey ii. l have sent for the
station agent and have sent to Bethle-
hem, where the engineer is among the
injured, to get statement from him."
Mr.. Sweigart was disinclined to dis
cuss the accident further until prepared
to issue the formal statement.
At Lansdale, three miles below Hat
field, the scene of the wreck, the milk
train was to have gone on siding to
allow the. excursion train to pass, but
unfortunately the former train was four
minutes late at Hatfield, and the ex-
cursion train one minute ahead of time.
and this tells the whole story. When the
trains came together the excursion train
had gained Al minutes on the milk train
in run of 30 miles.

Carnegie Reorganization.

Philadelphia, Sept. 3.-The Press says:
GA conference of leading members of
the Carnegie company is in progress at
Skibo castle, Scotland, the summer home
of Mr.. Carnegie, and that the meeting
may result in complete and radical re-
organization of the great steel concern.
President Schwab has been summoned
to Skibo, and the position of chief of the
Carnegie interests has been proffered to
ex-Judge James ii. Reed of Pittsburg.
Mr.. Reed is said to have the matter un-
der advisement. Andrew M ) Moreland,
the new secretary of the Cainee e inter-
ests, has resigned his positions as di-
rector of the Carnegie company and also
of the Carnegie Steel company. The an
ticipated shake up. if it occurs, will af-
feet the reorganized concern, which gives
employment to about $4,000 men. SEN
sational stories are in circulation to the
effect that much friction has developed

of this city has received a letter from
Lieutenant Colonel G. A. Coolidge, dated
Tien-tsin, Aug. s. Lieutenant Colonel
Coolidge led the Ninth infantry in its at
tack on the inner walls of Tien-tsin. The
letter gives an account of the fighting at
Tien-tsin and continues:
"The japanese looted the Chinese
houses, but the French were entirely in
the robber business and robbed and mur-
dered right and left and do still. be-
lieve the British were granted one day
to loot, but this was soon stopped, ex-
cept by the French, who still continued
the work in their own quarter. The
American quarter has been very quiet,
and we guard as best we can with our
small garrison. The Chinese dead are all
buried and the town is cleared up and
peaceable.
"There We're 10000 dead Chinese and
probably one-third of the city is burned
by shot and shell or incendiaries. On
account of the crowded condition of the
city it would be a good thing if one-half
of it were destroyed"

ts CALIFORNIA; TREES.
Department of Agriculture Makes
Public Some Interesting Facts.

Washington, Sept. 3.-The department
of agriculture has issued a report on in
vestigations of the big trees of California
that brings out some interesting and new
conclusions. 1t shows that the dimen-
sions of the big trees are unequaled: that
their age makes them the oldest living
things. They are described by the re-
port as "the grandest, largest, oldest and
most inajestically graceful of trees" and
''the scarcest of known tree species, with
the extreme value of being the best liv-
ing representatives of former geologic
age" The report says the bark of the
big trees often is two feet thick and al
most noncombustible.
"The oldest specimens felled," it says,
"are still sound at the heart, and fungus
is an enemy unknown to them. Yet the
big trees apparently have not increased
their range since the glacial epoch. They
have only just managed to hold their
own on the little strip of country where
the climate is locally favorable"
Continuing, the report says:
"'rhe only grove now thoroughly safe
from destruction is the Mariposa, and
this is far from being the most interest
ing. Most Of the other groves are either
i'll process of or in danger of being log
gedv The very finest of all, the Gala
vcras grove, with the biggest and tall
est trees. the most uncontamnated sur
roundings and practically all the literary
and scientific associations of the species
connected with it, has been purchased re-
Gently by a lumberman, who came into
full possession on April l, 1900. The Sc
quota and General Grant national parks
which are supposed to embrace and give
security to large part of the remaining
big trees, are eaten into by sawmill
each and by private timber claims
amounting to total of LIB acres"
The most recent investigations, ac-
cording to the report, confirm the esti-
mates that these giant trees probably
live 5000 years or more, though few OF
even the larger trees are more than hall
| as old. The average rate of growth is
estimated at one inch of diameter for ev.
cry II years. The report also corrobo
rates the statements of one authority
who says that one tree, ON which he
counted 1000 rings, was undoubtedly in
its prime, ''swaying in the sierra winds
when Christ walked the earth"

Canadian Authorities Alert.

Montreal, Sept. 3.-The officials of the
department of agriculture at Ottawa are
on the alert in reference to the outbreak
of bubonic plague in Glasgow. The AL
Ian and Donaldson lines have been asked
to place tin tunnels on the hawsers of
vessels lying at Glasgow wharfs so
that plague infected rats cannot get on
board ship. DIR. Bryce, provincial
health officer of Ontario, expressed the
view that the disease may possibly reach
some of the coast cities of the United
States, although the danger to the Cana
dian Atlantic ports, he thinks, is not
great. The disease, however, is not con-
fined to warm climates, as it has ragged in
Kamschatka, Sweden and Norway. 1t is
essentially wharf disease, spreading
with rapidity in the closely populated
dock districts of great cities.

STATEMENTS BY OFFICIALS.
Fatality the Result of Rear End
Collision Between an ENcur-
sion Train and ~ Milk
Train.

Philadelphia, Sept. 3.-Thirteen per-
eons killed and over 30 others injured ls
the record of Il rear end collision be-
tween an excursion train and milk
train on the Bethlehem branch of the
Philadelphia and Reading railway at
Hatfield, 27 miles north of this city.
The killed are: Miss Annie Sherry,
aged 81 years, South Bethlehem; Robert
Miller, South Bethlehem; Richard Bach
man, 40, South Bethlehem; William
Ehret, %, South Bethlehem; Ira Ehret,
20, brother of William, South Bethle-

Thomas Day, Allentown; Miss Mamie
Kaelin, II, Telford; Godfrey Kaelin, ia
ther of Mamie; William Blackburn, Am
bier; Harold Lands, Hatfield; ]. Acker-
mann, Philadelphia. q
The wrecked train consisted of ten day
coaches and was the first section of a
large excursion made up of people from
Bethlehem, Allentown and surrounding
towns to Atlantic City. This section
carried only those persons who lived in
Bethlehem and Allentown and left the
Union depot in Bethlehem 35 minutes
behind the milk train.
Reports from Bethlehem and Allentown
are to the effect that none of those in
jured in the collision have died, although
several are not expected to live. The
railroad company has force of men at
the scene of the wreck clearing away the
debris. The wrecked cars have been
burned.
Statement by the Agent.
Linfeld Wildoneter, the agent and tel
egraph operator at Hatfield, has made a
statement in which he says the excur-
sion train was scheduled to arrive Mt
Hatfield at 6:57 a. m. and that the milk
train arrived at 6:55. The excursion
train, he says, was a minute ahead of
time. 1t was very foggy, and he was
stamping tickets when he heard the ex-
cursion train coming He first saw it
when it was about 100 yards north Of
| the station, travelling at the rate of
about 40 miles an hour, and it was then
too late for him to do anything to avert
the awful accident.
Superintendent Sweigart of the Read
ing railroad states the company is not
yet prepared to issue a formal statement
as to the cause of the accident. "From a
partial investigation" he said, 'T think
that mistake has been made, the re-
sponsibiity for which can only be placed
after a thorough investigation.
"Train Dispatcher w. S. Groves, in
the Reading terminal station in this city,
may have waited too long before issuing
orders to hold up the excursion train,
which was rapidly catching up to the
milk train. The station agent at Souder-
ton, 21a miles from the scene of the
wreck, where the excursion train was
three minutes behind the milk train,
may have failed to display the stop sig
nal which the rules of the company re-
quire where trains are FIVE minutes apart,
or the engineer of the excursion train
did not see or disregarded the signal"
In addition to these possible causes

company were working. badly. due to q

held up at quarantine as a precaution
against the bubonic plague now in Glas-
Cow, Health Officer Doty released the
Scottish vessel, and she was allowed to
proceed to her pier.
The City of Rome never goes to Glas-
gov, owing to the difficulty in handling
a vessel of her great length in the mar
row river there, but embarks her pas
sengers and freight at Greenock, about
81 miles below Glasgow. Thus the lar
gest part of her passengers and crew
have not been near Glasgow
The steamship left Greenock on Aug.
%, and Moville, Ireland, the same day.
She has 491 saloon, 244 second cabin and
1913 steerage passengers and crew of
296, making a total of 1869 persons.
Mr.. Covcrly, of Henderson Bros, rep
resenting the Anchor line at this port,
went to quarantine on the tug Il. j. Bar
rett to consult with and assist Health
Officer DOty.
Among the passengers on board the
City of Rome are J. IL. Allan, G. w.
