BAD TRAIN WRECKS.
Three Disasters in Days History of Rail-
roadins-Lives Lost in Each. .,

Helena, Mont, Dec ia special
to the Independent from Kalispell
says wreck occurred on the Great
Northern Railroad near Essex, in the
Rocky mountains, at 2 o'clock this
morning. The engine, mail car and
smoker remained on the track, but
all the others were derailed. Some
cars were overturned and all were
more or less wrecked. The accident
was due to rails spreading. '.,-
One map was killed. He was prob
ably smothered to death. The debris
caught fire, but the flames were put
out by the uninjured passengers.
There is said to have been much loot
ing during the excitement. The
train was going at the rate of 25 miles
an hour when it broke in two. The
air brakes were set Immediately, pre-
venting more serious accident. The
largest number of injured were in
the day coach. All were asleep at the
time of the accident.

SEVERE STORM IN MAINE.
One of the Worst in the History of the State
Damage is Large.

Portland, Me-, Dec. 1S.-This state
Is suffering tonight from one of the
severest storms in its history. Floods
and washouts have been numerous.
Trains are delayed, and mills on the
Androscoggin, Kennebec and Penob-
scott were all unable to start their
machinery this morning because of
high water.
Many cities and towns report that
great damage has been done to streets,
families have been driven from their
homes, and street railways are inop-
erative from floods. Up to tonight,
only one death had been reported,
that of a fireman on the Canadian
Pacific Railroad, whose engine
plunged into a washout. A similar
accident on the Maine Central result
ed in the injury of three persons, one
of whom may die
Madison, on the Upper Kennebec
river, sustained the greatest damage
from floods of any place, it being
fully $5OO,000. Logs and ice crushd
buildings and overturned many
others, especially in one section of the
town, where there are large mills. A
million feet of lumber was washed
away. The Great Northern PAPER
Company's loss is very heavy. Its
expensive electrical machinery was
ruined.
The heaviest loss on the Andro-
scoggin River was sustained by the
International Paper Company, at
Rumford Mills. This company lost
more than 1000, 600 feet of logs.
Reports tonight from that section
OF Maine east of Bangor indicate that
the loss of property will be tremen-
tous. On the Upper Penobscott alone
the loss will range from $50, 600 te
100000.

CHINA is HELPLESS.
Will Yield in the Manchurian Matter to the
Strongest Influence.


Pekin, Dec. 1S.-The Manchurian
question has reached stage which
best informed observers consider to be
a crisis in Chinese history. The Chi
nese government is beset between Rus
sia on the one hand and Great Brit
ain, the United States and Japan on
the other. The government is helpless,
and will yield to that faction able to
bring the strongest pressure to bear.
Prince Ching is distinctly more
friendly to Great Britain than was Ii
Hung Chang. The British, Amer1-
can and japanese representatives here
have separately visited Prince Ching
and insisted that they be shown any
treaty before it is signed. Prince
Ching has submitted to them the draft
CT a treaty practically Identical to the
treaty already published.
Prince Ching is now pressing Rus
sia for more definite terms, the pres
ent form of the treaty being so vague
i'll its important points as virtually to
leave Russa free hand. The Japan
ese minister has taken strong stand
in the matter, and has Notified Prince
Ching that Japan will require conces,
sions equivalent to all the advantages
conceded to Russia in Manchuria.

BOER LEADER CAPTURED.
Commandant Kritzinser Falls Into the Hands
of General French.

London, Dec. ia dispatch from
Lord Kitchener announces that Com
mandant Kritzinger, the famous Boer
commander, who has figured so prom
inently in connection with the invas-
ion of Cape Colony, has been cap
tured, badly wounded, by General
French. Kritzinger was trying to
break the blockhouse Gordon at Han
over Road.
The capture of Commandant Kritz
niger, who has been styled the "De-
wet of Cape Colony" is regarded as
very important. He has been a
troublesome invader of Cape Colony
and is credited with more barbarities
than any other commandant except
Scheipers. In recent proclamation
he called himself the chief command
ant of Cape Colony.
During the last few days most. per-
sistent reports emanating both from
South Africa and from Boer head
quarters in Europe of an approaching
crisis in South African affairs have
been current. 1t is alleged that Mr..
Kruger will abandon his demand for
independence and that the Boe1
leaders in the field are inclined to
cease fighting and seek the best terms
obtainable. In a speech yesterday
at Cape Town Sir J. Gordon Spriggs,
the premier of Cape Colony, declared
that the outlook had never been
brighter than at the present time.

PHILIPPINE FINANCES.
No Interference With Importation or Expor.
tation of God or Silver.

Manila, Dec. 19.-The United
States commission has finally decided
not to interfere again with importa-
tion or expectation ssof gold or silver,
unless absolutely compelled to do SO
by force of circumstances, but, begin
ming with the year 1902, the commits
sion will alter the two-to-one rate, in
accordance with the existingsratio, in
the hope of preventing the further
expectation of gold and American
bills, which are at present being
shipped daily.
The reports from the provinces OF
the earthquake of last week show that
they suffered more severely than
Manila. At Batangas Ia soldier was
killed by falling masonry. Ships felt
the shock several miles at sea
Seven hundred bolomen have sur
rendered in the island of ssSamar, ow-

CONCENTRATION IN LUZON.
General Bells Method Of Stamping Out the
Rebellion in Batansas.

Manila, Dee: 1S.-General Franklin
Bell has been exceedingly active in
Batangas province, where he intends,
by every means available, to stamp
out the insurgents. Lieutenant Hen
messy, of the Eighth infantry, together
with one American scout and six Fill
ipinos, captured an insurgent major,
with AZ men, % rifles and $50 rounds
of ammunition, without the loss of a
man. A number of captured docu-
ments and papers, now in the hands
of General Bell, implicate in the in
surrection the president and other
prominent natives of Liam, Batangas
province.
General Bell has notified the
natives in Batangas that December 2S
he proposes to concentrate them in
the neighborhood of towns. He will
move their livestock, rice, etc., to
within the limits of Concentration.
After that date, everything outside
these limits will be confscated. The
roads from Batangas and Laguna
provinces are lined with continuous
stream of native men. women and
children in the carryalls, carts, and
mounted on cariboos, seeking safety
from the horrors of war.
The column under Colonel Theo-
dore J. Wint, of the Sixth cavalry, is
Jealous in its operations against the
insurgents and has received high
praise from the military authorities.
The insurgent General Torres, who
was found guilty by military COM
mission after ordering the assassina-
tion of an American corporal, and
sentenced to be hanged, but VIII ose
sentence was disapproved by General
Chaffee, broke down when he was re-
leased. He said it was just that his
life had been spared, because he was
innocent of the crime imputed to
him. He has expressed his highest
regard and warmest feelings for Gen
eral Chaffee, and his appreciation
that the supreme military power in
the Philippines is in the hands oi
such man. Torres says he is sub.
missive to the existing conditions.

DID NOT FARE WE'LL
OF SENATORS
FROM PACIFIC NORTHWEST.
Should Have More and Better Appointments,
Yet They Have Little or No Complaint
to Make-Senator Mitchell Will Push
the lsthmian Canal BiI-Senator roster
Remains Chairman of InsuIar Committee.

Washington, Dec. 10. - Senators
from the Pacific Northwest did not
fare as we'll as some of their Republi-
can colleagues in the matter of COM
mittees, nor as we'll as could be
wished, yet they have little or nc
complaint to make.
Besides refilling the places he had,
Senator Simon has been added to the
pension and-one or two minor COM
mittees, retaining his chairmanship
of irrigation.
Senator Foster has been added to
District of Columbia and another
minor committee. and remains chair
man of insular surveys.
While Senator Mitchell regrets
that he was not able to obtain place
on the committee on commerce, he is
well satisfied with being placed on in
teroceanic canals, where he is able to
push the isthmian canal bill, and to
secure his old place ON postoffices and
post roads, and also to occupy place
on Pacific islands and Porto Rico,
WHlCu uSdlS WIFI Hawaiian a1alrS.
AS to commerce, Senator Perkins, OF
California, was member of the COM
mittee on committees, and, of course,
when he insisted upon having a place
on commerce, it could not be other
wise. A number of Senator Mitchell's s
friends were anxious to have him on
privileges and elections, but his we'll
known position IN favor of the elec-
tion of senators by direct vote of the
people stopped him from securing
that place, as the committee has been
arranged to prevent any such legisla-
tion.
There was also quite desire among
a large number of the older senators
to have Senator Mitchell go upon for
eign relations, but Fairbanks and
Kean insisted upon being placed
there, and, being members of the
committee that made up the slate,
naturally got it. Senator MITCHELL s
general assignments are very satis-
factory.

HAWAIIAN INCOME TAX.
The Amount Collected will Be Far Below
the Sum Expected.

Honolulu, Dec. IL, via San Fran
cisco, Dec. 19.-Complete returns as
to the income tax show that the
amount of tax collected will be far
below the sum expected when the law
was passed. The returns show an ag-
gregate assessment of 1886, 600, which
is about half of what it was hoped the
tax would bring in. The smallncss
OF the figures is believed to be due in
part to recent failures in sugar stocks.
The board of survey appointed to
examine the ship Roanoke, which ar
rived here with cargo OF coal on fire,
has made its report. The vessel is
found to be considerably damaged,
and the board commends Captain
Amesbury for making for Honolulu
instead of trying to make San Fran
cisco, declaring that his decision
probably averted a terrible ocean
tragedy. The board recommends
that she proceed to San Francisco
with the coal in her now, amounting
to about l, 900 tons, the rest having
been discharged here in an effort tc
| find the fire.

A PROSPEROUS LITTLE CITY.
Has Population Of Only 500. Yet Does the
Business of Much Larger Place.

Cody, Wyo., Dec. 19.-Cody has a
population of about 800 and is grow
ing rapidly. It is the terminus of
the Burlington Railroad, and will
probably remain the terminus for
several years to come. 1t is destined
to be the leading town of the Big
Horn Basin. 1t is the shipping
point for the flock owners of large
herds OF sheep and cattle. 1t is sur
rounded by fertile land, much Of
which is under cultivation, and much
more will be in the near future, as
there is an abundance of water.
There is untold mineral wealth in
the mountains around here, plenty
of good coal. millions of tons of the
finest quality of gypsum, oil and sui
phur deposits enough to keep hades
hot for centuries to come. The town
is incorporated. A contract has
been let within week for a 50-room
stone hotel, the foundation for which
is completed. A good road has been
laid out, and the grading nearly COM
pleted to the Yellowstone National
Park, the eastern boundary of which
is about 35 miles from here.

Washington, Dec. 18.-As a result

progress between Secretary Hay and
Mr.. Brun. the Danish minister, the
last obstacles of substance to the pre-
paration of the treaty of cession
whereby the United States will be-

1t is said that the points of differ
ence have been adjusted in manner
to insure the acceptance Of the treaty
by the United States senate, and it is
even possible that the convention
may be laid before that body before
the holiday recess. The decision of
the supreme court in the insular cases

Reached After Long Discussion. vi N :

Washington, Dec. 17.-The! senate
yesterday ratified the Hay-Pauncefote'
lsthmlan canal treaty by the decisive
vote of u to g. The vote was reached
few minutes before O'Clock, after,
almost an hours discussion. behind
closed doors. There were no sensa-
tional incidents during the entire
time. The debate was confined ex-
cluslvely to- discussion of the mer-
Its OF the agreement, and the policv
OF Its provisions The principal speech
OF the day was made by Senator Teller
in opposition to the treaty, and ne
was followed in rapid succession by
II or Is other senators, who spoke
briefly either for Or against the
motion to ratify.
When the treaty was laid before
the senate Senator Teller expressed
confidence that the resolution wotlId
be adopted, and while he had no uurs
pose to attepmt to prevent that result.
he was convinced that there are few
senators who are really satisfied with
the treaty. With Great Britain in
her present mood he believed. he
said, it would have been possible to
secure treaty which would give en-
tire satisfaction. and he criticised the
state department for failing to do SO,
He took the position that it would
have been sufficient to abrogate the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and said that
England knew we'll enough that with
that result accomplished she could
very we'll trust the United States to
maintain the neutrality of the canal,
as the country could be prepared to
do so for many years.
Senator CuIbertson offered an
amendment to insert the Davis forti
fication paragraph of the last session,
This was defeated, Is to g..
Senator Bacon then offered an
amendment striking out in the pre-
amble the reference to the CLAYTON
Bulwer treaty the words without i'm
pairing the general principle of neu-
tralization established in article s

ing words in article relative to the

provisions of the present treaty.;
also all of article, 3, relative to the
naturalization of the canal; also all
OF article 4, declaring against change

defeated, Is to 60.
