MONTGOMERY. W. Va, June S.-While
many miners worked here yesterday, IL Is
now believed that the strike will become
general in this district tomorrow. The
deputy United States marshals are at the
Mcdonald mine to enforce an injunction

Ii is reported that Col. W. =. Rend, Of
Chicago. who formerly operated in the
Pittsburg district, also in the Ohio, In
diana and Illinois fields, and who Is now
one of the largest operators in this state
has agreed 10 concede the demands OF the
miners. There is much interest in anucipa-
ton OF an announcement from Rend TO-

Peace Orgies in London.

CHICAGO. June s.-The threatened strike
tomorrow of all the allied unions employed
by the different meat-packing concerns was
averted tonight by the stockyards COM

NEAR ALPENA, MICH.
Excursion Train DerafIed and Three
Cars Demolishe hed--Aid for the In
jured Quickly on Hand.

ALPENA, Mich, June S.-An excursion
train on the Detroit & Mackinaw Railroad,
which left here this morning for Saginaw,
consisting of an engine and twelve coaches
and carrying over 500 persons. was wrecked
at Black River, while running forty miles
an hour. One man was instantly killed,
three were probably fatally injured and
nearly fifty others received injuries OF va
rious degrees of severity, ranging from
bruises and cuts to broken limbs. The
killed:
AUGUST GROSINSKI, Alpena.
Following are the most seriously injured:
John Mccarthy, Alpena, left arm broken
and serious internal injuries, probably will
die; Ernst Legalski, ,Aipena, right leg
broken and probably fatal internal injuries;
Jacob Mondorff, Alpena, probably fatal in
ternal injuries Otto Knowsky, head badly
cut and breast injured; Louis Peppler, AL
pena, right thigh fractured; George BOyne,
Buffalo, sprained back, and face and neck

jardins, Joseph Swallow, Thomas Connors,
Christian Wolff, all of Alpena; Jerry Sher-
rette, John c. Beck, j. c. Rorison, Sylves-
ter Klebba, Charles Mcdonald, Mrs.
The excursion was under the auspices of
the German Aid Society of Alpena. When
the train reached Black river the tender
jumped the track. Engineer Hopper in
stantly set the airbrakes and reversed
his engine. The sudden stop threw the
first three coaches of the train off the track
and into the ditch. The first car was
thrown half around and the next two
coaches plowed through it and cut it in
two. August Grosinski, the only person
killed, was seated in this coach with
forty other excursionists. His body was
terribly crushed and death was instantane-
Gus. Grosinsks little son occupied the
same seat with him, but the lad was un-
injured.
The three wrecked coaches were piled
up in heap and 200 feet of the track was
torn up. AS soon as the occupants of the
uninjured coaches recovered from the
shock and surprise, they rushed to the
wrecked cars and began aiding the injured.
They were extricated from the wreck with
frantic haste and given all possible relief,
pending the arrival of the relief train. This
train brought eight surgeons from Alpena.
After temporary dressings had been made
of the most serious wounds all the injured
were brought back to this city, where the
surgeons worked over them until late to-
night

QUIET AROUND BLUEFIELD.
strike Leaders Say They Have Over
90 Per Cent. of the Men.

BLUEFIELD, w. Va. June s.-There is
comparatively no new developments in this,
the second day of the Flat Top coal strike.
The local strike leaders are still very san
guine stating late this afternoon that
their claim of 80 per cent of the men had
responded to the call was undoubtedly
true and that not per cent. OF. the men
would return TO work Monday morning.
The agitatOrs had hoped to take advantage
OF to-day to get close TO all the men, and
meetings were held at several points in
the field. but on account Of the heavy
downpour of rain throughout the held dur
ing almost the entire day the miners did
not congregate in very large crowds, and
the operators consider this a point in their
favor.
So far the operators have not demanded
the vacation of houses by the strikers, but
il is very likely this will be done tomorrow
unless a larger percentage of men than
claimed by the agitatOrs returns 10 work
Quiet reigned over the entire field to-day
and but for the discussions by small par
ties of miners along the railroad tracks
no one would have suspected that thou
sands of men were out.

Foreign Trade of the Empire Of Japan"
for the year 1901 has just been received
by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics. 1t
shows that the United States. which in
1881 furnished less than per cent of the
imports of Japan. supplied IL per cent. of
those imports in 1901, and that the United
Kingdom, our chief rival in that trade,
which supplied over 81 per cent of those
imports in 1881, furnished but 20 per cent. of
Japans importations in 1901. The total
value of Japans imports from the United
States in 1881 was 1.7Sl, los yen, and in 1901,
II. 769, 429 yen. The total value of Japan's
imports from the United Kingdom in 1881
was 1884, 7+0 yen, and in 1901 was 5O,5I5. iSS

DEPEW'S SPEECH


Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, June s. = THAT is the
most valuable speech which has been deliv-
cred in this session of Congress" This is
the sentence which Senator Frye, president
pro tenn. of the Senate, scribbled on
memorandum pad and sent TO Senator De-
pew when he had finished his speech in
favor of appropriating $l0,OOO,O00 for the
purchase of forest reserves in the Appa-
lachian mountain range. This is a very
high compliment from one of the most
competent observers OF legislative business.
One of the Western senators who listened
to the first part of the senator's speech
asked if the New York senator did not
know that the Philippine debate was end
ed. The word Appalachian" seemed to
have something to do with the eastern
islands. This joke furnished a good deal of
quiet humor in the early stages of the
New York senator's speech, but there was
soon to be Noted in the Senate that serious,
quiet interest which is shown when great
speech is being delivered.
The comment of the presiding officer IN
his complimentary note was not necessary
TO draw attention 10 the fact that this is
one of the things which the President had
energetically discussed in his message to
the Congress. The speech of Senator De-
pew, which was reported in the news dis
patches of yesterday, has been sufficient
to bring legislative attention TO this meas
ure, which is of so much Importance to
the Ohio valley and of the same interest
to the whole Mississippi valley. The pres
ervation OF the forests at the headwateIs
of the tributaries OF the Mississippi is
considered by the Agricultural Department
TO be the most important work IL has in
hand, and Mr.. Wilson has said so in many
Of his reports and In a specially strong
way in his recent report to the Congress.
There is now some hope that on account of
the interest of the President and the cham
pionship of Mr.. Depew at this time Con-
gress, even in its closing days. will take up
this measure and pass IL. permitting the
work of reforesting these mountain sides
and the preservation OF the present growth
to begin at once and not 10 lag until the
price Of the lands becomes prohibitive.

per cent. of the miners in these fields will
be at work. The daily shipments OF coal
from these two fields amount TO five hun

dred were sent out. and part of these were
loaded on Friday.

that the British authorities Will do their

meal is then provided for the Beers, after
which the formal surrenders occur. In
many such instances the Beers have
cheered King Edward and they have some
