SWEPT OVER A CLIFF.
snowslIde Near Ward, Col, Caused tho
Death OF Four Men and the Severe
Injury of Three Others.

Ward, Col, April 2O.-An unavoid-
able delay in the delivery of a mes
sage from the superintendent of the
road to "snow buckers" caused the
death of four men and the severe in
jury of two others yesterday after
noon. Two sO-ton locomotives with
snow plow ahead were steadily 'buck-
ing dense blockade. An hours
work convinced the men that nothing
could be gained by keeping up the
useless fight and word was sent to
General Manager Culbertson, at Boul-
der, requesting instructions. While
Operator Clark was still on his way
from the station with the orders
from the general manager to return
TO Boulder and not attempt further
work, huge slide of snow became
loosened high above the putting en-
gines and plunged down with great
momentum. The mass struck the lit
tie train almost on a curve near the
Big Five mine. The track is here sit
uated on sheer cliff with drop to
the mine tracks below of nearly 200
feet. Over this cliff the plow, the
two engines and seven men were
swept. Four of the men were killed
and three injured.

WHAT N|uUNCLE SAM D0Q.
Aguinaldo Is Said to Have Recon
sidered His Promise to Issue
a Peace Manifesto.
HIS FORMER ADVISERS RESPONSIBLE.
Additional Pressure Will Be Applied by
Gen. Macarthur, but the Rebel Leader
Is Disinclined to Assume the RESPONSE
bility In the Face of Such Bitter Oppo-
sition from His Former Co-Workers.

Washington, April 20.-Aguinaldo
has reconsidered his promise to issue
an address to the insurgents in arms
advising them to surrender and ac
cept American sovereignty. Addi-
tional pressure which will be applied
by Gen. Macarthur may have the ef-
feet of inducing him to return to his
original purpose. Under date of
March 90, Macarthur cabled Secre-
tary Root that ''as result of confer
ence now in progress probably Agui-
naldo will issue an address" advising
acceptance of American supremacy.
Three weeks have passed and the ad-
dress has not yet appeared. Enough
was learned, however, to know Agui-
naldo is disinclined to comply with
Gen. MacArthur's wishes, and this
change is ascribed to his former coun-
selors in Manila, with whom he was
permitted to communicate. If Agui-
naldo refuses to aid this government
in effecting the surrender of the Fill
pinos in arms, the authorities say he
can ne tried for violation of the laws
of war and severely punished. Gen.
MarArthur has doubtless taken occa-
sion to impress upon Aguinaldo the
delicate position he occupies.

MEDICINE LODGE, KANSAS. WEDNESDAY April "a. 1901.
TO TRACE FREIGHT CARS.
Railroads of the Entire Country VIII Es-
tablish a Bureau at Kansas City
for 3 Special Object.

Chicago, April 20.--A bureau having
for its object the getting of increased
service from freight cars, and to
which all the railroads of the United
States are expected to interest them
selves, is an experiment which will
soon be given a trial at the instance
of financial powers who have recently
engineered gigantic changes in the
railway systems of the country. J. w.
Midgley, formerly chairman of the
Western Freight association, will have
charge of the bureau with headquar-
ters at Kansas City. Railroad mag
mates, having arrived at the conclu-
sion that it takes three times as many
cars to move given quantity of
freight as it did in former times, have
turned the problem of correction over
to Mr.. Midgley. Detention of cars at
freight terminals is the greatest evil
Mr.. Midgley will attempt to correct.
Railway officials declare that the aver
age daily service of a freight car has
fallen to 90 to 25 per miles per day,
where formerly the average was 90
miles. The new bureau is to be in
the nature of a car-tracing sorganiza-
ton, which will see to it that car has
having arrived at terminal station,
is quickly unloaded and returned by
the shortest route to the road to
which it belongs.

China YIELDS TO THREATS.
Imperial Decree Orders Troops at
Huai-Lu to Move Outside
the Great Wall.
STOPPED A THREATENED EXPEDITION.
German and French Soldiers Were Prepar-
Ing to Move on the Imperial Forces
They Occupied Position Within the
Limits of Territory Which Powers Had
Decreed Was Under Their Protection.

Pekin, April 20.-In consequence of
strong representations of the Chinese
government, an imperial decree has
been issued ordering the Chinese
troops at Huai-Lu to Immediately re-
move outside the great wall. The
Chinese troops whose withdrawal out
side of the great wall has been or
dered by imperial decree are under
stood to be the force which a German
and French expedition were prepar-
ing to attack. The Chinese occupied
n position within the limits of terri
tory which the military representa-
tives of the powers had decreed as be-
ing under their protection.
A dispatch from Paris says that in
consequence of the imperial decree
ordering the Chinese troops TO leave
the territory considered under the
protection of the allied forces the
Franco-German expedition has been
abandoned. France will shortly
withdraw 10000 troops from China.

THIS COMBINE a FAILURE.
President of the National Wall Paper Conn
pany Says High Prices VIII Always
Arouse Competition.

Washington, April 20.-Before the
industrial commission Henry Burn,
presidentof the National Wall Paper
company, said the wall paper COM
bination was the result of a supposi-
tion that greater economy and reduc-
ton os prices could thus be secured
Experience had demonstrated, how
ever, that both ends were impossible
of accomplishment. Public sentiment
sustained the persons who claimed to
be injured by this process. New fac
tories were started, which in time
organized an opposition combination
Mr.. Burn thought in view of his ex-
perience that the public need not fear
the effects of trusts, because of the
certainty that high prices would al
ways result in arousing competition
and the consequent reduction in
prices.

70 GIVE EGYPT MOISTURE.
Great Dam Across the Mile at Assuan
Will Turn Dreary Desert int
Smiling Pastures.
THE PROPHECY OF ISAIAH FULFILLED.
No More Can "the Tongue of the Egyptian
Sea" Lick Up the Lives and Harvests of
Egypt at It's Pleasure-Immrnse Wall
of Solid Granite Which Forms the Dam
Extends Back 1 Ia Miles.

London, April 20.-When Sir John
Aird, the contractor for the great
dam across the Nile at Assuan, walked
across the dry bed of the river in front
of the dam the prophecy of Isaiah
was fulfilled. The tongue of the
Egyptian sea" has of a verify been
destroyed. No more can it lick up
the lives and harvests of Egypt at its
pleasure, or, by twisting to one side
or the other or by curling back, re-
fuse to give to Egypt moisture when
the parched fields are crying for wa
ter. The tongue of the Egyptian sea
has been destroyed. Men now walk
back and forth in the dry bed of the
great Nile. The prophecy is fulfilled.
The tongue of the Egyptian sea"
as Isaiah SO picturesquely terms the
Nile, has been destroyed by one of the
greatest feats of engineering ever un-
dertaken in modern times.
a great dam has been built in the
Nile bed, on the southern side of
the first cataract, near Assuan. The
immense wall of solid granite which
forms the dam extends from the right
bank of the Nile to the left, distance
of mile and a quarter, and, when
completed, will rise 90 feet above the
level of the river at low water. And
when the top of this great dam is
paved and graded into thoroughfare,
and cars and teams are passing at
will back and forth upon it, then will
come true the last part of the proph-
ecy of Isaiah. The object of the
great dam at Assuan is to transform
thousands of miles of dreary desert
in Egypt into smiling pastures.

CARRIE NATIONS IN IDAHO.
One Saloon Wrecked at Post. Falls and
Proprietor Warned to Leave Town
Rotten Eggs for - Sympathizer.

Rathdrum, Ida, April 2O.-Post
Falls is wrought up to high pitch
over the wrecking of saloon there
and threats that unless the joint
keeper. Charles Rover, leaves town his
building will be fired. While Rover
was in Spokane his saloon was broken
open and the contents scattered in
the streets, every glass, bottle and
mirror being smashed into fragments.
piacard was then posted on the door
warming Rover that unless he leaves
town at once he will be tarred and
feathered. The bitter feeling was
intensified when \. II. Gillian was
rotten-egged by employees of a lum-
ber mill and driven from the mill.
He was formerly in the saloon bust
ness and was supposed to be a sym
pathizer with the saloon element.

Now Seems Probable.

Washington, April 20.-The admin

channels that a strong movement is
setting in among Cubans to make
Tomas Estrada Palma the first presi-

tary government. The previous exc
cutioner of Cuba was big negro,
who received a Spanish ounce for ev-
cry person he put to death. He was
regarded as sort of outcast.
