Travellers on a Chicago Great West

ride, and a narrow escape from death,

avoid death the engineer and fireman
OF the passenger train jumped just
as their engine crashed into the rear
of disabled freight train standing
in long tunnel. So great was the
force of the collision that the passen-
ger engine bounded back, and before
the engineer or fireman could climb
aboard the engine the train was going
down steep grade at the mouth of
the tunnel. The conductor was una
bic to use the air brake and the train
hal run q mile and was within 100 feet
of a stationary freight train when
stopped. Many of the passengers
jumped, while others sought safety in
the front coaches. The wrecked cars
and the caboose in the tunnel caught
fire and were destroyed. The engineer
and fireman of the passenger train
were both injured.

THE OPEN DOOR IN CHINA.
Secretary Wilson Emphasizes the
Commercial Significance of
the "Open Door,"
SALVATION FOR UNITED STATES TRADE.
States Would Have Been Shut Out
From Trade Advantages i'm Amy
Province Which Other Nations
Might Claim.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Secretary Will
son, in an interview, emphasized the
great commercial significance of the
"open door" concert of the powers re-
speeding China. He said:
Our Trade Relations Secured.
Anything produced in the United
States will now permanently find it's
way into all parts of the Celestial en-
pire. Our trade relations there in the
future are secured. Not of the least
Importance is the fact that the per-
maDency of the cotton market in Chi
ma is secured. The trade in cotton
goods has been very heavy in Man
churia and other northern provinces.
Our trade interests generally. our
dairy, poultry and other products from
the farms of the United States now
have assurance of permanent markets
in all the province throughout the Chi
nese empire where such things are in
demand, and this demand is growing
and will continue to grow.
Secretary Hays work.
1.-THE work of Secretary Hav in this
regard supplements anc compliments
the work of our army and navy. y
year ago no nation would have listened
tc a proposition of this kind, but the
whole world listens to the United
States now. The White mans burden
came with the islands. Secretary
Hays work brings the reward for lifE
ing the burden. Some idea of the vast
ness of the interests involved may be
gained from the fact that while ten
years ago our exports from the Pa
cific coast to all countries aggregated
$26,000,000 and five years ago $4,000
600, the steady increase in Pacific
coast exports has raised the aggre-
gate to $73,O0O,OO0 year ago."
