efn Tunnel.

Seattle, WASH. March 26-The first
serious accident in the new Great
Northern tunnel, which was opened
for traffic about three months ago, oc-
Cured yesterday afternoon, and result
ed in the death Of Engineer W. w.
Bradley from suffocation from the
poisonous gases in the tunnel. His
fireman, Joe w. Smith, was overcome,
but recovered. Four other trainmen
were overcome, but recovered soon
after getting in the open air.
The train, which was east bound,
became stalled in the middle of the
tunnel. The fumes of the engine
filled the place and the men were
forced to leave the train and lie on
the floor Of the tunnel for safety.
When the train failed TO appear at the
far end of the tunnel, watchers there
feared that something had happened
and started in with a relief engine.
The body of the dead engineer was
found face down in the ditch alongside
Of the track. The other men were
found on the track.
The rescuers had a hard time get
ting to the scene, owing to smoke and

SULTAN MUST PAY
Consul General Gunmere Will Call
on Morocco with That
Little Bill.

Washington, March 26-Upon being
advised by the navy department that
the New York had arrived at Tangier,
the state department. Immediately set
a cablegram to Consul General Gun
mere, directing him to board the New
York at once and 60 forward on his
special mission.
Something is left to Mr.. Gunmere's
direction as to the execution of the de-
tails and it is for him to say whether
he will be satisfied if the sultan and
court meet him half way at Mazargan
or whether he will proceed, according
to the original programme, directly to
Morocco City. 1t probably will make
no difference in principle, provided
the necessary explanations are afforded
of the treatment our consul has re-
ceived and provision be made for set
Ting the claims. These are not very
large in the aggregate, probably $780,
900 will cover. them all, or less than
half the indemnity that was
lily collected by Germany a short time
ago of a precisely similar class of
claims. But it can be stated that if
the court does not appear at Mazargan
by the third week in April, then Consul
General Gunmere will 60 to Morocco

A MISTAKEN POLICY
South African Correspondents Claim
Kitchener Is Pursuing
Wrong Course,

London, March 26-The Pretoria
and Bloemfontien correspondents of
the Times send long dispatches stating
that Lord K%itchene1's policy and
operations have failed to achieve the
object hoped for and point out that
the British public must demand the
original policy Of occupying districts
and establishing military posts as the
only means Of paeidoation. This pro-
cess. the correspondents say, will oc=
cupy much time and tieoessitate a eo1-
slant supply Of fresh troops. The
strain on both the officers and men has
been and will be immense, and ar
engagements must be made to send alb
solutely fresh troops to the front in
order to enable others to be sent home.
UNLESS this aspect of the case is
grasped by the authorities, say adj
vices to the Times, "there is a posi-
bility CT the war lasting for years. It
is quite useless to renew peace Dego-
tiatiops. Nothing approaching terms, ,
as the word is generally used, will be
or ~ of service with the
R0ers.'

money from Mr.. Edwards was con-
ceived. The following is a COPY Of
the letter to Mr.. Edwards:
"Sir-We are the men that relieved
you of your diamonds the other day.
Finding that we are short of funds we
ask You to oblige MS with the sum of
$1,000 in $40 bills, give it to the
clerk, Dearduff, and at the hour of ~
tonight have him meet us at the cor
ner Of Forty-third and Magee alone.
We ask you to send him, for we know
him when we see him. Show this to
the police or fail in any way to obey
orders and your son George will a
the penalty. We mean business as You
have learned heretofore.
"R. B. J. G."
Edwards had his son guarded, while
he made up a package of waste paper
and sent it by Dearduf to the place
indicated in the letter. Dearduff re-
ported that he was met by two men
who took the package from him.
Later he reported finding the empty
tray in the basement and asserted that
some n haf stabbed him. Dearduf
today admitted having inflicted the
wound himself.
He has been employed by the firm
for l8 months. He will be prosecuted
for grand larceny.

BIG RAILROAD MOVE
Missouri Pacific Preparing to Make
Colorado Utah Lines One
System.

Salt Lake, March 2G-The Tribune
tomorrow will say: The next big
move in railroad circles will be the in
corporation under the laws Of Utah of
the Denver & Rio Grande, the incor-
poration to cover the Utah-C Colorado
lines, which are to be formed into one
system. This system is to be q part of
the Missouri Pacific system.
At this time it is not possible to
give the capitalization of the new sys-
tenn, but the Denver & Rio Grande,
the Rio Grande Western and the Rio
Grande Southern, at their present
capitalization, would reach a capitali-
zation of over 1874, DOC, 900. The cap
italization of the Colorado Southern
and Colorado Midland would add $685.
900, 600, or a total Of .$l42, $50. 900,
providing all should be placed in one
corporation, as is said will be the case.
1T is added that the Rio Grande juno
tion, Florence & Cripple Creek, and
the Colorado Springs and Cripple
Greek district railways and others will
he brought into the system, but it will
be some time before the whole plan is
worked out.
The idea is to make of the Colorado
Utah lines a separate system, but part
of the Missouri Pacific, just MS the
Wabash is at present or the Oregon
Short Line is of the Union Pacific.
The Colorado-Utah lines would make
a ALSO mile system, which would be
managed by n set of general officers
at Denver with traffic aud operating
officers in Salt Lake.

rigs, held a posse Of citizens at bay
and escaped in the face Of a heavy fire.
Bonds and certificates to the amount
Of 100000 and So, 900 in gold coin
were overlooked by the bandits. The
bank was fully insured and its business
will not be interrupted.
A heavy explosion III the bank build

citizens living in the vicinity of the
bank. John Hayes, whose home is
directly opposite the bank building,
raised a window and quietly observed
four men stationed in front Of the
bank. He saw that the whole front of
the two story brick building in which
the institution was located had been
shattered and believing he could
brighten the men who, it was evident,
were much alarmed by the strength of
the explosion, hastily donned his
clothes and sailed forth. When he
reached the sidewalk he was chal-

four rifles pointed at his head again

while many persons began to appear
in the darkened streets of the village.
William Levett opened fire on the
bandits with a rifle, but his aim was
not of the best and his shots only
served to draw the fire of the robbers.
The shooting soon became general, as
citizens crept toward the bank from
all directions and the robbers evident
ly began to think of escape. At a
signal from the four Oh guard three
others emerged from the debris of the
bank, bearing several sacks, into
which they had hurriedly placed their
loot.
The robbers were under good dis
cipline and their leader gave his
orders like a military leader.
"All ready? Forward, march!''
signaled the leader and they marched
under the shadows of the trees which
lined the sidewalks, turned a corner.

nOrtherly direction.
Citizens took up the chase and at 4
a. m. found the rigs deserted along
the roadside. The sheriff of Perry
county had been notified by telephone
and arrived at daylight with a pack of
blood hounds, which will be used in
the chase. The robbers were success
fully trailed around town by the
hounds. 1t was found they had broken
open a blacksmith shop to secure tools
and had then taken the rigs in which
they escaped from a livery stable near
the bank.
President Samuel Ream of the bank
said this morning that his institution
will not suffer in the least, except for
the Inconvenience caused by the
wrecking of the vault and the blowing
out Of the front portion of the build
ing.
The loss is fully covered, he said, by
burglar insurance.
