A Switch Station on the Santa Fe Route
Twenty Miles East Of Needless, Cal, the
Scene Of the Aceident-TwO Lin ted Passen'
ger Trains, Bound in Opposite Directions,
Crashed Into Each Other.

Los Angeles, Cal, (Special) "A fatal
wreck occurred on the Santa Fe Rail
road one mile west of Franconia, Ariz,
a switch station 20 miles east of Nee
dies, Cal.
Seven trainmen were killed, three pas
Sengers and IA trainmen injured, Lin
tied trains, one east, the other west
bound, crashed together while running
at full speed. The eastbound train was
drawn by two engines, while the west
bound train had but one locomotive.
The three engines were crushed and
blown to pieces by an explosion which
followed the collision. Both trains were
made up of vestibule cars of the heaviest
kind, and while they stood the terrific
shock well and protected the passengers
to a great extent, several of the cars
took fire and burned up. The dining
cars, one on each train; one Pullman
and two composite cars were destroyed
The collision is said to have been due
to a disregard of orders by the crew OF
the westbound train. From all accounts
however, it is gathered that the east.
bound train had orders to take the siding
at Franconia, and await the passing OF
the westbound flyer, which was running
two hours late and trying to make up
time. The eastbound train failed to reach
the siding, and, as the westbound train
did not wait for it, the two trains came
together without warning and with ar
awful crash

said to have exploded Immediately after
the crash, scalding to death those of the
engine crews who had not been killed

The sleeping cars, with one or two
exceptions suffered slightly, and as
result the passengers were afforded com.
parative immunity from injury.

CANAL TREATY SIGNED.
England Has Yielded Ia Matter Of Guarantee
Of Neutrality

Washington, D. C., (SpeciaD The
new Hay -Pauncefote treaty was sign
ei Monday at 1905 by Secretary Hay,
y the United States, and Lord Paunce.
fote, the British ambassador, for Great
Britain.
This treaty is intended to replace the
first Hay-P -Pauncefote treaty. That con
vention was amended so extensively by
the United States Senate at its last ses-
sion that the British government de.
clined to ratify it, Within a few weeks
negotiations began afresh between Sec
retary Hay and Lord Pauncefote which
have just resulted in the signature Of
the new treaty, drawn with special ref
erence to the objections found by the
Senate with the first treaty. From a
due sense of the courtesy which must be
observed towards the United States
Senate wherever a treaty is concerned
the State Department is estopped from
making public the text of the new con-
vention, and that will remain secret un-
I'll the Senate itself shall break the seal
of confidence. 1t is said at the State
Department that the various publications
which have been made of the alleged
text of the treaty are all erroneous and
conjectural, though, in view of the
rather free admissions that have been
made of the purposes of the negotia
tors, it has been possible by the use of
the text of the first treaty to construct
one similar in general terms to the new
convention.
The principal point of difference be-
tween the new and the failed treaty is
the withdrawal of Great Britain from
the joint guarantee of the neutrality of
the canal tus leaving the United States
the sole guarantor.

NEARLY 100000 IMMIGRANTS
OF These lIEE7 We're Unable to Read
or Write.

Washington, D. C., Especially The
annual report of Commissioner General
Powderly, of the immigration Bureau,
shows the total steerage arrivals in the
United States during the year to have
been 487,oI8, an increase over the pre-
ceding year of 3o,346, or approximately
9 per cent.
OF this increase aozo came through
Canadian ports and the remainder
through ports of this country. The ratio
Of increase Of Italian immigration, as
compared with those from the same
country last year, is approximately SO per
cent, or more than threefold the ratio of
increase from all Europe, and the in
creases numerically from all other coun-
tries of Europe aggregate scarcely one
fourth of that from Italy.
The total steerage immigration was
distributed as to sex between 33I,o55
males and Is6,863 females. During the
year 363 were returned to their respec-
tive countries having become public
charges within one year after landing.
The number refused \ landing was s.

Telluride, Col, Especially What is
likely to prove the most disastrous acci-
dent that has ever occurred in mine
in Colorado resulted from fire which
burned the buildings at the mouth Of
the Bullion Tunnel, through which the
Smuggler- r-Union Mine is worked, and
filed the mine with deadly gas and
smoke.
1t is impossible to give even an esti-
mate of the loss of life but it is be-
lieved that It will reach nearly 100
Hugh J. O'Neill the engineer, was
taken out alive, but is not expected to
recover.
Every physician in Telluride was
summoned to the mine and was kept
busy attending those of the rescuers who
were overcome with gas.
Seventeen of the twenty-five bodies
found were discovered on the seventh
level Between Is and 90 men were
working on that level, and it has not
yet been fully explored since the fire
began. On account of the gas and
smoke most of the levels could not be
entered because of the danger of suffo-
cation.
The FIRE started early in the morning
from a defective flue in the bunk house
at the mouth of the tunnel 1t quickly
communicated to the other buildings. The
dense smoke from the burning con
verter house, which was saturated with
oil began pouring into the tunnel, which,
with the shafts of the mire, aytSl -as
chimneys.
The day men had just gone on duty,
and before they could be warned OF
their danger the levels were filled with
gas.
AS soon as the men became aware of
their danger efforts were made to reach
the surface through different exits,
and about half of those in the mine es-
capped.
The Smuggler- Union mine is one of
the Oldest in the district and has several
abandoned openings. Most of those who
escaped did so through the other Union
workings and the old Sheridan tunnel
A rescuing party cut connection
through from the Commission workings
adjoining and took out of it some of the
men.

AMERICAN CONSUL
WAS BADLY BEATEN
The Outrageous Treatment of Paul
Schilling In SaxOny.
MISTOOK HIM FOR A BAD PREACHER.
Police Ignore His Explanations, and Official
Documents Proving His Identity and Take
Him Openly Through the Streets to the
Jail, Followed by Crowds Of PeOple-A
Demand for ReparatiOn.

Berlin, (By Cabe) Dragged from
bed as the result of a mistaken identih-
cation, searched beaten and locked in a
cell for five hours, Paul E. Schilling,
American vice consul at Zittau, Saxony,
having secured his release with diff
Guilty, came to Berlin to seek the coop
Grafton of United States Ambassador
White in demanding reparation from the
German government.
Mr.. Schilling was arrested in his resi-
dence at Zittau last Friday by a police
man, who believed him to be a default
ing preacher of the name of Matthes,
who had fled from Magdeburg. Expla-
nations and official documents proving
his identity being of no avail, Schilling
was led through the streets to the jail,
followed by gaping crowds. The prison
guards compelled him to give up his
valuables, including several hundred
marks in funds belonging to the consul
ate.
When Schilling resisted the attempt
to seize his wallet of private papers, the
guards overpowered him and threw him
into a cell
His identification was made by tele-
phone from Leipsic, where his father is
stationed as the representative of the
American News Company. Then he Sc
cured his release. Schilling was for
merely resident of Chicago, where he
attended the College of Physicians and
Surgeons.

HAY DISCUSSES POLICIES
Notable Gathering Of Guests Of the New YOrA
Chamber OF Commerce.

New York, (Special) The chici
event at the annual banquet of the New
York Chamber of Commerce at Del
monico's Tuesday night was a speech
by Secretary of State Hay, in which he
made important declarations regarding
the foreign policy of the United States.
Mr., Hay said in part
u am asked to say something about
our diplomacy. You want from me
nothing but the truth, and yet if con-
fine myself to the truth cannot help
fearing shall do my profession a wrong
in the minds of those who have been in
the habit of considering diplomacy an
occult science as mysterious as alchemy
and as dangerous to the morals as mu-
nicipal politics.
1T must be admitted that this concep-
ton of the diplomatic function is not
without a certain historical foundation.
There was a time when diplomacy was a
science of intrigue and falsehood, of
traps and mines and counter-mines. 1t
may be another instance of that creduli-
ty with which have often been charged
by European critics when I say that
believe the world has moved onward in
diplomacy, as in many other matters.
II can say without hesitation that we
have generally told squarely what we
wanted announced early in negotiation
what we we're willing to give and allowed
the other side to accept or reject our
terms During the time in which have
been prominently concerned in our for
eign relations ! can also say that we
have been met by the representatives Of
other powers in the same spirit Of frank
ness and sincerity"

antoxin having been prepared and issued
by the Health Department of the city

HORRIBLE COUGH CURE.
Natives Of New Guinea Massacre Those
They Blame.

London, (By Cablc) - Lieut., Gov,
George R. lie Huntc, in his annual report
on British New Guinea, tells a strange
story of native superstition which is
causing the sacrifice of innumerable
lives. Whooping cough was introduced
there by two white children and spread
with frightful rapidity. 1t first swept the
coasts and is now ravaging the interior.
As the natives hold that death from any
cause is always compassed by an un-
known enemy only dscoverable through
witchcraft, whenever a village is at
tackled with whooping cough a sorcerer
is consulted. The latter invariably des-
ignates another village or tribe as cul~
pable and a midnight massacre of in
nocent persons follows.
