Everett. WASH. May 27.-Special
from Skykomish. Wash:
A frightful accident occurred on the
line Of the Great Northern railway,
which resulted in the demolition Of an

noon and was speeding along down the
rugged western slopes of the Cascades
and had reached q point about four
miles east Of Skykomish. when sud-
denly q loaded push car came into
view.
Engineer John McGhourly. who was
IN charge Of the forward end Of No. Is.
made every possible effort to check his
engine. but the momentum was too
great. When within q few feet Of the
then deserted push car he and his IRE
man wore horrihed to zee can after can
~ giant powder piled high on top Of
the car. It was too late to even think
OF jumping and the two heroically stood
their ground.
A second later and the pilot crashed
Into the push car. Explosion after ex-
plosion rapidly followed. each succeed

until finally. when the smoke had
cleared. the awfulness Of the havoc
created was realised.
The engine was literally torn to frag-
1nents, her boiler raised clear Of all

TRADE REPORT.

says: The general situation Is still

couraging feature being the fine out
look for the country's crops. General
distribution, retarded hitherto by the
backward spring. has been stimulated
by warm weather. Industrial condi-
tons head the list Of disturbing Tea.
lures, but confidence In conservatism
and good counsel Is widespread, and
the effect upon general business exert
ed by the largest number Of men idle
for several years past has been appar-
emily minimixed.
Reports as to quiet trade In iron and
steel come from the east. No special
activity IL looked for. however, In this
branch. because large consumers are
well supplied. Indeed. Pittsburg fur
naces are booked we'll into July. The
demand for finished goods Is as heavy
as ever. with premiums paid for quick
delivery and large new business not
accepted because Of the inability Of
manufacturers to promise immediate
shipments. Good reports come from
the western hardware trade, the de-
mand In building lines and for barbed
wire fencing being especially active.
The boot and shoe and allied trades
note considerable activity In manufac-
turing lines. Leather hnds ready pur-
chasers among manufacturers east and
west. and stocks do not accumulate.
Hides are steady at the west, but easier
In eastern markets.
Such unanimity az to good crops has
rarely been seen at this period Of the
year. Much was made in speculative
grain circles Of dry weather at the
northwest, but recent rains have placed
that section In q favorable condition
as regards the spring wheat. From the
winter wheat belts reports continue OPP
tomistic, especially favorable advices
being received from Kansas, which
promises a yield Of 100. 000. 900 bushels.
and the only anxiety expressed Is for
sufhcient supply Of labor to harvest the
enormous crop.

In attendance on Mrs. Mckinley held
their last consultation, and after they
had announced their decision that
Mrs. Mckinley was strong enough to
endure the transcontinental journey,
for the departure were
rapidly made. Mrs. Mckinley seemed
elated at the prospect Of soon being
1T home. She was conveyed from the
Scott residence to the Oakland ferry
In closed carriage over circuitous
route. which was chosen 80 that the
invalid might pass over only smoothly
paved streets, the Earring basalt
blocks which are laid on many streets
being avoided. She was accompanied

the president and his party. Heads
were uncovered a. the carriage In
which Mrs. Mckinley rode sp--
preached, and there was visible ef-
fort to refrain from an outburst OF
applause a. the vehicle. with drawn
curtains, drove slowly through the
throng. All respected the frail condi-
ton. Of the sufferer and enthusiasm
was suppressed.
There we're no formal cermonies at
the depot. Goodbyes were exchanged
by the president. cabinet members
and other members of the party with
the friends who had come to wish
them God speed. and the distinguished
travellers boarded the ferryboat Oak
land, which made special trip for
their accommodation. The carriage
containing Mrs. Mckinley was driven
onto the lower deck Of the boat and
the curtains partly raised. so that she
might catch a glimpse OF the bay and
Golden Gate.
As the steamer drew out of the slip
hats and handkerchiefs were waved.
and as 1t swung clear into the stream
the shipping craft in the harbor dipped
their colors in salute. Tumultuous
cheers then broke forth on shore and
were borne across the waters as San
Francisco's final farewell to President
Mckinley, his wife and the accom-.
panying members Of his oficial fam
lily.
At the Oakland mole. where the

had been taken to prevent crowd.
