AEuinnldO Is Coming.

Aguinaldo will probably come to the
United States early next fall. He has
already informed General Macarthur
of his desire to visit this country and
wants to leave not later than Sep
tember Is, when conditions in the isl
ands will permit his unconditional re-
lease from custody. Reports from
Macarthur show that Aguinaldo is
now permitted to have large amount
of liberty, but until civil government
is inaugurated it is not probable that
he will be allowed to have perfect
freedom.
Aguinaldo's explanation for wanting
to visit the United States is that he
would like to study American institu-
tions and the English language, with
view to benefitting his country on
his return. He desires to take up the
study of economic and political ques-
tions in the United States.
The federal party of the Philippines
held a convention several weeks ago
and decided to name two delegates
to the United States who will come
here to study American institutions
One OF the delegates selected is Don
Tomas Del Rosaroo. who has been
very active in the formation of fed
eral societies in the islands.

Samson May Retire.

New York, May 2S.-According to a
Washington dispatch to the World, it is
reported in naval circles at the capital
that Rear Admiral Sampson may ask for
voluntary retirement on account OF his
health, and that the navy department will
grant his request He will not regularly
be retired under the statutory clause until
late next winter.
Rear Admiral Sampson is now com
mandant at the Boston navy yard. He
has served more than 35 years and is en-
titled to retirement upon application
His friends say he has nothing to gain
by remaining longer in the service, for he
has reached the highest grade possible
now. No official application has been re
ceived at Washington from him and he
may make none until after Secretary
Longs return.

from Skykomish. Wash.
A frightful accident occurred on the
line of the Great Northern railway.
which resulted in the demolition of an
engine. almost half train of loaded
merchandise cars and large steam
shovel. That no one was instantly
miracle.
Westbound freight train No. Is pass
ed through the big tunnel shortly after
noon and was speeding along down the
rugged western slopes of the Cascades
and had reached point about four
miles east of Skykomish. when sud
denly a loaded push car came into
view
| Engineer John McGhourly, who was
in charge of the forward end of No. Is,
made every possible effort to check his
engine. but the momentum was too
great. When within few feet of the
then deserted push car he and his fire.
man were Mortified to see can after can
of giant powder piled high on top OF
the car. 1t was too late to even think
Of jumping and the two heroically stood
their ground.
A second later and the pilot crashed
into the push car. Explosion after ex
plosion rapidly followed. each succeed
ing one being more terrific. If possible,
until finally when the smoke had
cleared, the awfulness Of the havoc
created was realized.
The engine was literally torn to frag-
ments, her boiler raised clear of all
| other parts. while her great trucks
were hurled up the steep mountain
side for considerable distance. The
steam shovel, which stood on siding
| nearby, was torn to splinters and will
be fit for nothing but scrap.
About rs yards from the scene OF the
| terrible explosion stood the shack OF
the track walker. 1t. also. was utterly
! demolished, but, strange to say. the
track walker himself who was in the
shack. was but slightly scratched.
Loads of merchandise of various kinds
are scattered promiscuously in all di-
rectons. A hole sufficiently large to
bury a locomotive in was torn in the
roadway
/ Engineer McGhourly was severely In
jured about the head and otherwise
sion He was put aboard special
train and taken to hospital at Ever
ett. The fireman was also badly
bruised, but not seriously injured. No
one else was hurt.

New York, May 2s-T'here is no doubt,
the London correspondent of the Herald
thinks, that Mr. Broderick, the secretary
OF state for war, is not popular with the
British army. 1t is learned from talk in
the military clubs that no less than 1900
officers have sent in their papers TO the
war office. In military circles it is the only
topic OF conversation. None Of these mill
tary men believe Mr.. Broderick will be
able TO realize a new army scheme. The
recruiting out look is black, indeed.

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's report for last week
says: The general situation Ia still
largely favorable one. the primary en-
eouraging feature being the fine out
look for the country's crops. General
distribution, retarded hitherto by the
backward spring, has been stimulated
by warm weather. Industrial condi.
tions head the list OF disturbing fea.
lures. but confidence in conservatism
and good counsel is widespread. and
the effect upon general business exert
ed by the largest number OF men idle
for several years past has been appar-
emily minimized.
Reports as to quiet trade In iron and
steel come from the east. No special
activity is looked for. however, In this
branch, because large consumers are
well supplied. Indeed. Pittsburg fur
naces are booked we'll into July. The
demand for finished goods Is as heavy
as ever, with premiums paid for quick
delivery and large new business not
accepted because OF the inability of
manufacturers to promise immediate
shipments. Good reports come from
the western hardware trade, the de-
mand In building lines and for barbed
wire fencing being especially active
The boot and shoe and allied trades
note considerable activity in manufac
turing lines. Leather finds ready pur
chasers among manufacturers east and
west. and stocks do not accumulate
IIilac cta dy ~ ha I,,t 81
in eastern markets.
Such unanlmlty as to good crops has
rarely been seen at this period Of the
year. Much was made In speculative
grain circles Of dry weather at the
northwest, but recent rains have placed
that section In favorable condition
as regards the spring wheat. From the
winter wheat belts reports continue op
tomistic, especially favorable advicel
being received from Kansas, which
promises yield of 100, 900 900 bushels
| and the only anxiety expressed Is fol
| sufficient supply OF labor TO harvest thu
