FERRY STEAMERS COLLIDE
While Both Were Entering the
Slip Used by Both.
HUNDREDS WERE RESCUED.

New York, June 1.-THE wooden
side wheeler Mortified, in the service
of the Staten Island Ferry company,
was rammed by the steel hulled pro-
pellor Mauch Chunk used as ferry
boat by the Central railroad of New
Jersey. The collision occurred just off
the Staten Island ferry slip at the foot
of Whitehall street and in less than
twenty minutes the Mortified, which
was crowded with passengers. sank at
the outer end of the Spanish Line
pier in the East River The Mauch
Chunk was badly damaged, landed two
dozen passengers who were abroad of
her. Over hundred of the passengers
of the sunken Mortified were dragged
out of the water by people along shore
and the crews of the feet of river
tugs. which responded to the ferry
boats call for help. A few OF the
Northield's passengers were hurt in
the accident and the police believe that
some lives were lost.
the tug boats which circled around the
Northfield and made bridge to the
Spanish Line pier. Men and women
clambered over the tugs to the shore.
While the Mortified was well sup
piled with life preservers which were
slowed in out of the way places, not
more than two dozen of the endanger-
ed passengers were able to get the life
belts on.
The swift running flood tide and the
question of which boat had the right
of way was the cause of the disaster.
Captain Abraham johnson was in
charge of the Mortified and Captain
S. c. Griffin was in command of the
Mauch Chunk. Each lays the blame
of the collision on the other.

Washington, June 12.-Dr. Rixey,

INDEPENDENCE IN SIGHT.
Christmas Likely to See Cub. Governing
Itself.

Washington, June lit is expected
at the war department that Cuban in
dependence will be an accomplished
fact by next Christmas. The next step
in order now that the Platt amend
ment is adopted by the constitutional
convention is for that body to take up
and pass an electoral bill which will
provide for the election of all the Off
GERS who are to set up an independent
government in Cuba. 1t is said here
that such bill is already framed and
is ready for submission to the conven-
ton at any moment. 1t is thought
that the convention can dispose of this
measure in a week or two and that
will complete the labors of the body.
A period of ninety days it is said here
must be allowed for the publication of
the electoral act before the necessary
elections can be had.
1t may be necessary and probably
will be to maintain some United States
troops in Cuba after the new officials
are inaugurated and until the Cubans
have had time to set up Cuban mill
tary force or gendarmerie but the
length of this stay probably will de-
pend on the wishes of the Cubans
themselves.

THE LARGEST HORSE RANCH
In the World to be Located in
Western Kansas.
CONTAINS THIRTY SECTIONS.

Kansas City. June 17.-Captain ".
S. Tough, of this cily, will soon estab-
lish the largest horse ranch in the
world. A large portion of the lands
belonged to the Union Pacific company
but it was necessary to acquire a few
sections held by outside parties in
order to make a solid tract. The pur-
chase price of the land ranged from SO
to 81. so an acre.
Captain Tough first established a
ranch between Kansas City and Leav-
enworth. Two years ago he bought
Bismarck Grove at Lawrence and
turned it into a horse ranch. Three
weeks ago he bought quarter section
of land just across the Union Pacific
tracks from Bismarck Grove. paying
500 an acre cash for it. This he will
utilize in raising feed for his horses
The possibilities for making money on
horses has caused him to close deal
which will make him the owner of the
largest horse ranch in the world.
The thirty sections are along Smoky
Hill river in Trego county. 1t is well
supplied with water and is especially
adapted for the purpose for which it is
purchased. 1t will all be put under
fence and divided into fields. The
most of it will be utilized for pastures
The rest will be sown with alfalfa
Large stables will be erected to pro-
tect the animals in the winter, and a
race track will be built to train horses
both for the track and for city road
sters.
If located further east land would
cost more and so would feed. The
saving in the cost of putting an animal
in condition for the market more than
offsets the shipping charges on the
animal to the local market. 1t is Cap
tain Toughs ambition to make his
ranch the model horse ranch of the
world.

Arbitration Not Acceptable.

Washington, June lathe govern
ment has formally communicated to
the foreign powers the impossibility of
joining in joint guarantee for the
payment of the Chinese indemnity
The difficulties in the way of such an
arrangement are set forth, particular
ly those relating to the constitutional
restriction on the president in making
joint guarantee of this character.
One view is that the ma jority of the
powers favorable to a joint guar
anty, will execute this joint instru-
ment, and thereafter carry on a
concert of their own. 1t that event, it
is said, the United States would
arrange directly with China as to the
American portion of the indemnity.
The representatives of most of the
European powers do not believe that a
resort to The Hague tribunal, as pro-
posed by the United States, will be
acceptable to their governments.

The president after consultation

ment:
81 regret that the suggestion of
third term has been made. i doubt
whether l am called upon to give it
notice. But there are now questions
of gravest Importance before the ad-
ministration and the country and their
just consideration should not be pref
udiced in the public mind by even the
suspicion of the thought of third
term. In view, therefore, of the reit
Grafton of the suggestion of it. will
say now, once for all, expressing a long
settled conviction that [ not only am
not and will not be a candidate for
third term, but would not accept a
nomination for it, if it were rendered
me.
MY only ambition is to serve
through my second term to the ac-
ceptancs of my country, whose gener-
GUS confidence l so deeply appreciate
and then with them to do my duty in
the ranks of private citizenship.
(Signed) ''WM MCKINLEY"
The president already is being de-
luged with kilograms commendatory
of his announcement putting at rest
all third term rumors. These tele-
grams are from prominent persons
throughout the country. They place
emphasis on the opportuneness of the
statement and the beneficent effect on
the country from political stand
point. None of the kilograms were
made public.

AFTER CREEK INDIAN LANDS.
Indians Protected by Provision for APP
prevail of Sale In Washington

pEoN9i Ol Shlc IN
Washington, June u.-Captain
Schoenfeldt, in charge of the Union
agency of the five civilized tribes in
the Indian territory. says that a large
number of persons are coming in from
Western states to secure possession of
the lands of the Creek Indians. which
are soon to be placed on the market
by the Creek tribe, who have recently
entered into q treaty with the govern
ment, for the opening of their lands,
and who are taking their lands in
severalty and disposing Of the surplus.
He says that the accommodations at
Muskogee are too small for the enor-
nous influx of strangers who want to
purchase lands from the Indians. The
majority of the strangers are from
Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa. The
agent says the lands which the Indians
will be allowed to dispose of are of
first-class quality and worth on an
average SIS an acre. The Indians
have in several instances offered to
sell them at much below their value,
and there is general expectation that
great deal of money is to be made
ont of these lands. He points out that
spectators are overlooking the very
serious fact that all sales of lands so
negotiated must first be approved by
the secretary of the interior. and that
few if any contracts will he aDDroyed
that do not represent a fair valuation
of the lands, according to market
