Finding More Bodies.

One month and ten days have gone
since the storm at Galveston, Tex, and
still the number of dead bodies being
recovered daily does not decrease.
The total number Of bodies officially
reported to have been recovered is
e,907. A great many bodies were
found, however, OF which no report
was made. II is not known how many
were carried out to sea or TO the main
land, or how many still remain under
the debris. There is no reason to re-
duce the former estimate Of the loss Of
life.

PLOT AGAINST LIFE OF CAR
Plan to Wreck Railroad Tunnel while
He Travels.

The Sebastopol correspondent of the
London Daily Telegraph sends details
OF an alleged plot about IA month q
against the life of Emperor Nicholas.
IL appears that about a fortnight be-
fore the car and czarina began their
journey to the Crimea, a student at
Moscow university, son of a post
captain of the Black sea fleet, was
arrested for digging in q suspicious
manner in the vicinity Of a railway
tunnel near Sebastopol. The police
after the arrest, found a large quantity
of explosives where they would have
inevitably wrecked the tunnel when
the imperial train was passing.
The correspondent says there are
certainly indications that the plot was
one OF those concerted by the Bresci
group of anarchists.

CAR STRUCK BY AN ENGINE
Accident at indianapolis Causes Injury to
Many.

Lake Erie & Western switch engine
struck a street car at Thirteenth
street, indianapolis. There were TWEEN
ty-one passengers in the car at the
time and of this number fifteen were
more or less injured, two Of them per-
haps fatally. The engine struck the
front end of the car, reducing il to
ldndling wood and carrying it fully
twenty feet away, finally throwing
it against IA freight car standing on u
side track. One whole side was torn
out and the car was turned completely
over. The passengers, many of whom
were in the demolished end of the car,
were pinned down by the broken tim
bers. The doors could not be opened,
and the less injured people, in their
mad rush to escape, trampled over
those unable to help themselves. To
add TO the confusion the steam from
the engine e%nveloped the wrecked ear,
and it was with great difficulty that
the work of rescue was carried on.
The wrecked car was returning from
Brightwood and had on board a num-
of people who had been attending n re-
publican meeting. When the tracks
were reached the conductor, Harry
Kraus, went ahead as usual 10 see that
the road was clear. A Monon engine,
going north, passed the crossing,
drowning the noise made by the Lake
Erie engine, and Kraus was unable 10
see the engine until too late.

ARRAYS.

A Vancouver, Il. c., dispatch says;
The troubles between the white and

eliminated in "a series Of murders, the
Japanese being the victims. Such is
the statement Of Richard Gill, one of
the best known cannery men Of the
north, who adds:
dead men fioated down the rivers
on several different occasions with
wounds in their heads. There Is no
doubt of the fact that they were muir
dered. I saw as many as five bodies
myself during the season. Although
no one was arrested, the fact that these
things were happening was common
knowledge among the fishermen"

A Washington dispatch says: For the
first time in three days Minister Con-
ger was heard from at the state de-
partment October Is. He communi-
Gated by cable the substance Of certain
propositions advanced by Prince Ching
and Iii Hung Chang as n basis for the
conduct Of negotiations for a settle
ment of the Chinese trouble. The
Chinese government already has pre-
pared the way for these by t prelimi-
nary action looking toward the pun
ishment OF Chinese officially guilty OF
completely in the boxer uprising and.
while the text of Mr.. Conger's com
munication is not made public, it IL
believed that the latest Chinese advice
is addressed to some of the PROPOSE
tions contained in the French note, be.
ing in the nature of counter proposals
and proceeding upon the theory that
what has been done in the matter of
puDishmcntS is sufficient to meet the
demands from the powers in that re.
spect.
Minister WI called at the state de-
pun ~. appointment III ~ "
long conference with Secretary Hay.
The Secretary previously had spent an
hour with the president at the white
house, presumably in the consideration
of Mr.. Cougcr's communication, and it
is believed hat Mr.. WI was called to
the department to throw light upon
some Of the detailed proposition.
There is reason to believe that the
government will take favorable action
upon the latest proposition Of the
French government presented yester-
day through the French charge DAT
flares, NJ. Thiebault. This contem.
plates the opening of negotiations on
those points which the powers are
agreed upon, leaving 70 the mlpisters
at Pekin the details of working out a
further agreement on those points
which the powers made reservation
upon.
The basis Of the negotiations would
he the French note delivered on Octo-
Der 4, together with the replies of
the other governments. This would
make practically two negotiations GO
ing on at the same time, one concern
ing the points of agreement, which
would have to be adjusted with China.
and the other by the ministers at
Pekin, with "a view to securing /. an
agree ment previous to submitting it to
China. There is felt to be no inconsis-
tency in having this double work pro-
cced concurrently and it has the ad.
vantage of getting the peace negotia
