TRAINS COLLIDE IN FOG.

Two Killed and Many Injured in Chi.
cago Elevated Accidents.
Chicago, Nov. 20.-The thickest
fog ever experienced in Chicago
caused numerous collisions between
trains early yesterday. In these col
lisions two men were killed, two
were so badly injured that they will
probably die and Is others were seri-
ously hurt. Scores of others, the po-
lice say, were injured in minor acci-
dents due to the fog, but as they were
able to assist themselves no official re-
ports were made. Every ambulance
in the city was kept busy from s.: 80 a..
m. to 1880 a. M, carrying the injured
to their homes or to hospitals. The
more serious accidents occurred on
the Metropolitan and Lake streets
elevated roads. There were two col
lisions on the Lake street 81" !" two on
the South Side e." one on the North
western 81" and one between subur-
ban trains Of the Rock Island and
Lake Shore roads. Collisions be-
tween vehicles and surface cars were
frequent.

TROOPS TO RESCUE MISS STONE.
Brigand Camp Located in DefiIe Of
Belleritza Mountains.

Sofia, Nov. 2O.-It is reported that
Mr.. Dickinson, the United States dip
lomatic agent here, has informed the
government of Bulgaria that the alb
ductors of Miss Stone, with their cap
tives are concealed in defile of the
Belleritza mountains, near Smotch,
district OF Dubnitza, and has re-
quested that troops be sent to sur
round the place and liberate the cap
tives. Both Mr.. Dickinson and the
Bulgarian foreign office decline to
confirm or deny this report Never
thelsss it is believed that Mr.. Dickin-
son, persuaded of the impossibility of
coming to terms with the brigands
and relying on his belief that they
will not harm their captives if troops
are employed against them, has, after
consulting with Washington, decided
upon this move.
Only eight bandits low guard Miss
Stone, and some Of these are known
to sympathize with her. About a. fort
night ago Mr.. Dickinson approached
the foreign Office and proposed this
same plan, but it's carrying out was
abandoned because of the uncertainty
of the location of the bandits.

JAPANESE KILLED IN WRECK.
Work Train collides With Extra at
Blair

st. Paul, Nov. ia special to the
Globe from Great Falls, Mon, says:
A wreck occurred on the Great North
ern near Blair, Mon, 375 miles east
of here. yesterday morning, in which
ten men lost their lives and % others
were hurt. An extra train ran into
work train, and it was among those
on the latter that the terrible havoc
was wrought. Forty-one Japanese la
borers were aboard the work train,
which was proceeding westward un-
der orders to meet the freight train at
Culbertson. There is a very sharp
curve where the trains met and they
were running at a speed of 25 miles
an hour. So great was the force Of
the impact that the freight cars were
thrown upon the top of the work train
and piled high in mass of wreckage.
Almost Immediately flames broke
forth and added to the horror of the
scene. Those uninjured Immediately
began the work of rescuing those Inn
prisoned in the wreck, whose piteous
appeals for help spurred on the work
ers. At the time the accident oc-
Cured the Japanese were at breakfast
and before they were aware of the
impending danger the cars were
smashed into kindling wood and the
dead and dying men buried beneath
the heap Of wreckage.
OF the entire number in the car.
but three escaped death or injury.
After am hours work all had been ac-
counted for and there were ten dead
bodies alongside the track and several
men SO badly injured that it is likely
they will die. It was impossible to
check the progress of the flames, and
soon seven of the work cars and three
freight cars were in ashes.

SHORTAGE OF TRANSPORTATION.

They Don't Notice Slump in Corn.
New York, Nov. 16.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
A few months ago injury to the corn crop
aroused fears that the railroads would be
seriously handicapped by the loss of ton
mage yet the season of grain traffic has not
only failed to produce decreased earnings.
but there II such q scarcity of rolling stock
and motive power that numerous indus
tries are badly demoralized.
A healthy demand Is reported throughout
the country In all leading lines of mer-
ehandise while sales of winter goods have
attained normal proportions and holiday
business promises to surpasss all records.
In manufacturing there was never before
such we'll sustained activity, with contracts
running past the middle Of next year.
This is especially true in the case of steel
rails and many other products of iron,
while in building material, felt footwear
and most textile branches there Is little
prospect Of idleness.
An official report OF the lowest average
yield OF corn per acre was calculated to
strengthen prices, but the phenomenal
quotations already prevailing would seem
to fully discount government figures. For.
eign buyers have been driven out of these
markets, the weeks exports from the At
lantic coast amounting to only 5S5, ,944
bushels against 3,72e,O6e year ago, and
3,770,1SS in 1899. Wheat rose to the best
price of the crop year, partly In sympathy
with corn, for which 1t is still freely sub
stituted. Interior receipts Of 1880, AL
bushels against 4,404, ,1O2 last year, indicate
that an abundant crop is coming forward
and the movement would be heavier if
transporting facilities were available. Yet
the enormous crop will be readily absorbed

RECIPROCITY is THE THEME.
Two Hundred Manufacturers Attend
Convention at Washinuton.

Convention at Washington.
Washington, Nov. 20-Many of the
manufacturing industries of the
United States were represented at the
national reciprocity convention which
began its sessions here yesterday.
There We're 200 delegates present in
response to call issued by the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
at meeting in Detroit last June.
The convention is representative of
all sections and its object is to give
expression to the views of manufact-
urers generally on the subject of reel
procity
d. A. Tompkins of Charlotte, N, c.,
was chosen temporary chairman and
Theodore G. Search of Philadelphia
permanent chairman. The convention
adopted resolutions of greeting to
President Roosevelt, pledging it's sup
port and expressing its confidence in
his administration.
The night session, devoted to the
subject of reciprocity with the Span
ish-American countries, developed
the fact that the delegates were hav-
ing difficult time in avoiding MAX
Ing straight out high tariff speeches
while endeavoring to conf1ne them
selves to the discussion of reciprocal
relations. One speaker said he had
heard nothing but high tariff speeches
all day, and that, were the delegates
not SO earnestly trying to attain the
ends mapped ont one might haliaya
he was attending political meeting
at the height OF an ipnartant cam
paign.

there is a feeling in this country that
Industrial combinations are tending to
drift toward monopoly. Not word
could be said, he declared, against in
dustrial combinations. but monopoly
was different thing from Industrial
combinations. He said there are two
forces to regulate prices-one, COM
petition, and the other, regulation by
law. II know" said Mr.. Cummins,
that the people of this country will
not stand for industrial monopoly
any more than they would for mon

will be necessary to nationalize the

Slightly Wounded in Kentucky.
Madisonville. KY, Nov. 1S.-Mining
troubles in this district brought more
bloodshed yesterday. James H.
Smith, a negro striker, is dead:
George Crouch, another striker, is fa-
tally wounded, while John West, Hut
Dawson and Nathan Bush, all guards,
are wounded, but none of them dan
gerously. The trouble occurred at the
mines of the Providence Coal COM
pany II miles from here, where an at
tack began at about 4:30 o'clock.
The attacking party, some rs or 80
strong, first fired on the engine house
and then in few minutes the COM
pany's stables were surrounded. A
eral other animals were disabled. By
this time the guards were becoming
active and the party formed in semi
circle over the brow of the hill. and
from there poured a well directed
fire on the house of the nonunion
men. The men, aroused by the crash
of bullets, ran to small timber piles,
arranged for such use, and returned
the fire. The attacking party, while
sending volley after volley into this
quarter, kept up steady fire on the
tipple engine room, stable and other
buildings of the company, while the
guards for their part were doing eff
fective work. The battle ragged for
almost an hour, when the assailants
withdrew, leaving Smith dead and
Crouch shot through and through on
the field. How many wounded they
took with them is not known, but the
leader was seen to fan and it is be-
lieved some of the party who went to
his rescue were hit
Owing to the days riot and the seri-
GUS situation in the mining field of
Webster and Hopkins counties, the
governor has ordered out the militia.

POLICY OF FUTURE.
ANNUAL BANQUET OF NEW YORK
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Principal Speech of the Evening Is
Made by Secretary Hay-Governor-
Elect cummins of Iowa Well Re-
ceived and Speaks Eioquent.y.


New York, Nov. 2O.-The 133rd an
nual banquet Of the chamber of COM
merce was held at Delmonico's last
evening. Covers for 460 were laid In
the main banquet room. The speech
making was opened by President Jes
up in a very few words. He then
proposed toast to the memory Of
William Mckinley It was drunk
with all standing and in silence.
President Roosevelt's health was then
toasted. while the orchestra played.
and at the next toast, that of King
Edward of England, the British ma
ttonal anthem was played.
The princiual speech of the even
ing was made by Secretary Hay. In
outlining the nations policy he said:
AS to what we have tried to do
what we are still trying to do--in the
general field of diplomacy, there is no
reason for doubt on one hand or reti-
cence on the other. President Nc
Kinley in his messages during the
last four years has made the subject
perfectly clear. We have striven on
the lines laid down by Washington to
cultivate friendly relations with all
powers, but not to take part in the
formation of groups of combinations
among them. We have kept always
in view the fact that we are pre-emi-
nently peace loving people. that our
normal acHylties are in the direction
of trade and commerce."
In introducing Secretary Hay, Presi-
dent Jesup proposed toast to "Our
Diplomacy" The secretary was
warmly welcomed. His speech OBJ
tanned rapt attention and the ap-
plause was deafening when, in his
peroration. he said: mo wantonness
of strength will ever induce us to
drive hard bargain with another ma
tion because it is weak nor will any
fear of ignoble criticism tempt us to
insult or defy a great power because
it is strong, or even because it Is
friendly"
Joseph H. Choate. ambassador to
the court of st. James, was next In
troduced. After the applause had
subsidized, he spoke with his usual elo-
quence. dwelling mostly on the recent
visit of the delegates Of the New York
chamber of commerce to London. Mr..
Choate was followed by Senator Nc
Laurin of South Carolina.

Concludes to Remain Non-parti-
san Body-Action on Statehood
Fort Worth, Tex, Nov. 20.-Three
prominent features marked the pro-
ceedings of the national convention
of the w. G. T. U. yesterday, the last
but one Of the sessions. viz: The elec-,
ton of officers, the final deliverance
Of platform of principles and de-
cision in respect to political action.
The last was not accomplished with
out considerable debate. the extrem-
lists contending that as the conven-
tion had declared in Its resolutions
for Christian citizenship, constitu-
tional enactment concerning polyg-
amy and monogamistic marriage, and
the necessity for prohibiting the man
ufacture, sale and distribution of alco-
holic liquor by law, it would only be
consistent to cast its fortunes with
the political party pledged to all of
these reforms. The conservative por-
tion of the convention, however, held
that as the cause of opposition to the
liquor traffic had SO far prospered
through non-partisan action, "let we'll
enough alone" should continue to be
the motto. The latter view pre-
vailed.
Besides the question of an alliance
with the Prohibition party and the
consequent entrance of the union
into politics, the greatest source of
concern was over the attitude to be
taken on the admission of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory to statehood.
The executive committee had report.
ed strongly against statehood, but the
sentiment that prompted aloofness
from political action suggested that
the burden be cast upon President
Roosevelt by asking him to refrain
from recommending statehood for the
two territories in his forthcoming
message.
The election of officers resulted as
follows: President, Miss Lillian NJ.
Stevens; corresponding secretary,
Miss S. M. Frye; recording secretary.
Mrs. G. A. Hoffman; treasurer, Miss
Helen M. Barker; vice presidential
large, Miss Anna v. Gordon.
