Ogden. Utah. May 26.-Mrs. Mckin-
ley had passed comfortable night
crossing the Sierras last night. but the
trip to-day was looked forward to with
some apprehension. The rain. howev-
cr. relieved the anxiety. and DIR. Rix-

ley was standing the trip very well.
She suffered no Inconvenience from the
rarefied atmosphere.
On the way back TO Washington the
President and members OF the cabinet
are devoting good deal of time to
the consideration of the Chinese situn-
tion. The declination Of the other
powers to join in the suggestion with
regard to scaling down the indemnity
demanded of China was great disap-
pointment, though it could hardly he
said that it was entirely unexpected.
The necessities Of European powers OF
the maintenance of their large armies
and navies are perhaps factor In
their present action. The President and
members of the Cabinet feel that this
government was right in protesting
against exactions which might force
China to the wall. and from the posi-
ton taken by the United States there
will be no retreat. The demands oil

The United States will continue TO
urge this view at every opportunity.
If the powers proceed alone and force
China to accetle to their demands, this
government, OF course. will accept the

such amount as is necessary TO liqui-

in favor of the proposed scheme to
raise and guarantee an international
loan for China. out of the proceeds of

ness to the powers. The United states
is willing to accept the bonds of China
without Endorsement by any power, at

manifest to the world the sincerity OF
the American profession proclaimed at
the very outset that the United States
desire to help China to her feet, and
preserve her political integrity.

FATAL STREET CAR COLLISION

other one lived but a few minutes.
Fully 100 men, women and children
formed struggling. shrieking pyra-

tions of human bodies and the wreck
age of cars. Some of the more slight
ly injured of the men extricated them
selves and began to pull people out of
the rear ends of the two cars. AL
most every one was taken out in this
way. and nearly all were badly In
jured.
With both motormen killed It was
hard to get at the real cause of the ac-
cident, but 1t was pretty well deter
mined that 1t was caused by an at.
tempt of the south bound car to reach
second switch instead of waiting for
the north bound car at the first siding.
The cars weigh fifteen tons each and
are the largest electric ears built, and
so frlghtful was the crash that both
cars were torn almost to splinters.
Both cars were filed with Sunday
pleasure seekers returning from the
new recreation grounds that the rail.

DENVER SALOONS ARE
NOW OPEN TO WOMEN

Denver, May 27.-The close season
on the midnight and Sunday restau-
rant-saloon in Denver has been official
ly declared Off by Judge Palmer in the
district court and by the fire and police
board in obedience to the action of the
court. Judge Palmer also decided that
women were entitled to the same privi-
lege as men to purchase liquors. This
decision was the result OF a petition
for an Injunction filed by J. J. Cronin,
who conducts the saloon and wine
room at Eighteenth. and Champa
streets.
The opening of the saloons after mid
night and on Sunday was the result of
an application for an injunction made

Judge Palmer issued the injunction
without hesitation. The application Of
the plaintiff recites that the board and
chief of police are acting in violation
of the statute in interfering with the
sale Of liquors Mt meals.
The arguments used in the case OF
Cronin's application were that women
have the same rights as men In this
state and these rights extend to the
purchase of liquors at the public bars
If the suit is decided in favor of Gro

Concerning the action of the police
authorities in the matter, President

said there would be no attempt to close

Proposed Characterization. Line.

Denver, May 27.-People Of Duran
go, Colorado, and Clifton, Arizona, and
intermediate territory, are urging the
construction of railroad 1896 miles
long from Clifton, via Gallup, New
Mexico, to Durango. G. L. Mcconnell,
mayor of Durango and president Of
the Smelter City State Bank Of Du-
rango, is the principal mover in the
project. The road would traverse q
section of Arizona and New Mexico
now without railroads. At Gallup II
would cross the Santa Fe and would
cross the southwest corner Of the Nav
ajo Indian reservation. At Clifton It
would connect with the Arizona &
New Mexico road, which extends sev.
enty-one miles from Clifton to Lords
burg. on the Southern Pacific. giving
short and direct route from Durango
to FL PasO and Mexico.
The line would be Of great benefit to
the Durango smelters, as 1t would
open scores Of mining properties and
would make 1t easy to ship Mexican
ores to be smelted.

The old Scotchwoman who liked her
minister because he joombles the
Joodment an confoonds the sense"
would have appreciated a bit of British
legislation which the premier seems to
view with sardonic amusement. "In
an act of Parliament" says Lord
Salisbury, which authorizes us to
press forward technical instruction. 1t
is distinctly said that technical in
struction does not mean instruction in
any art, or craft. or livelihood. OF
course it is rather difficult under those
circumstances to know what it does
mean, but if you will go forward in the
act Of Parliament you will find that IT
means the cultivation of foreign Ian
guages.' This is diverting indeed. hut
the humor of the thing does not limit
It's significance. Probably the British
legislator did not know exactly what
he did want. Assuredly he is not the
first man who has found it hard to
draw clear distinction betwixt you
may, you must, you cannot, and you
should"

A bill in the New York legislature
proposes to give electric railway COM
panies the same rights of condemna-
ton as steam railways. with view to
promoting general competition with
existing roads. The propriety of put
ting electric roads under regulations
similar to those placed upon the steam
roads with which they are expected to
compete has taken form in some of the
legislatures, and the Michigan house
has passed bill requiring owners and
managers of interurban electric lines
to equip their cars with lavatories

other appliances. the same as are re-
qulred on steam railroad cars.

The omnigraph, as a new instrument
designed to teach the art of telegraphy
is called, consists of a Dashboard on
which are secured an ordinary key
and sounder, between which a disk is
mounted, formed on its periphery with
teeth. A spring contact adjacent to
the wheel engages the peripheral teeth
of the disk. Although irregular, the
arrangement of the teeth is arbitrary.
For If the disk be rotated by means of
a small crank shaft geared with
the disk shaft, the spring contact is
forced outwardly by the teeth, but
drops back by its own elasticity and
thus makes and breaks the circuit. The
experienced telegraph operator detect
ing these makes and breaks at the
sounder recognizes them as the dots
and dashes OF the Morse alphabet.
