York Commercial, was almost instantly
killed and about 100 others injured this
evening by the breaking down of a tenn
porary sidewalk at Fifth avenue and

were on the sidewalk when it gave
way. They were precipitated 20 feet
into an excavation for a new building,
and fell on piles of building material.

returned from the Philippines, where
he investigated the concentration
camps, hence his testimony was of an

were good. Two camps visited by him
contained 5000 natives. Each native,
he said, was given. absolute liberty
within the "dcad lines which are
located several hundred feet outside
the limits of the camp.
In his testimony Wagner laid stress on
the fact that natives were allowed to
cultivate ground, even beyond the
"dead lines" the soldiers giving them
protection against the attacks OF assas-

an improvement for the natives and

ADVERSE REPORT
lsthmian Canal Committee Disap.
proves Of Giving President
Power of Selection.

Washington, May Ex-senator Nor
gan. from the committee on Isthmian
canals, has submitted to the senate the
ator Hoars bill placing the selection
OF route for an Isthmian canal in the
hands of the president. The committee
opposed the bill on the ground that
it makes no provision for further eXplo-
ration of routes and leaves the presi-
dent to make a selection on the state
mcnt on facts already ascertained.
1t is contended that However firmly
the country may rely on the wisdom
and just discretion OF the executive the
policy is not wise nor safe as Il rule of
government The report discusses
at length the protocols with Colombia
and Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and it
is stated incidentally that Former Co.
lombian Minister Silva was invited to
appear before the committee, but de-
clined tn do so. OF the agreements
with Costa Rica and Nicaragua it is
said that ''they are definite and COM
plete as to character and scope of the
rights they have agreed to concede to
the United States and it is argued
that if they are ratified nothing will be
left to do but carry the agreement into
effect.
Columbia, on the other hnad, is
charged with playing. for delay, and
it il stated that to hold Col umbia to
her present offer it is necessary, under
article 27, that ratification shall be
legislated within eight months from
its date and the practical impossibility
OF concluding all the necessary arrang-
ments provided for in her proposition,
within eight months shows that her
most earnest purpose is to cause delay. y

AUSTRALIAN DROUTH.
Losses on Stock Alone Foot Up Fifteen Mif.
lion Pounds.

UOU TOuUuSs
London, May 2s.-Cabling from Sgd
new, \. s. w., the correspondent of the
Daily Mail gives an account of the terri.
bic drouth from which, as climax to
seven dry years, Australia is now suffer-
ing. The correspondent says the losses
in stock in Australia since 1899 amount
to Gl5,OOO,0O Unemployed men are
drifting into the cities by thousands and
the state governmentsa are providing them
with work.
The only districts which have escaped
the drouth are the northern river district
of New Solth Wales and parts OF the
Riverna district. The situation has been
aggravated by the federal duties on fod-
der, which prevent, its importation.
Communication in the interior has been
paralyed as the waterways are unnavi-
gable. Owing to the cost of fodder the
firm which had the contract has aban-
doned the hauling of the mail in Queens
land, the cost OF transportation having
risen from 500 to G3O, 900 annually.
Sheep are dying by the million, con-
tinues the correspondent, and even the
rabbits are starving. Animals have
stripped the bark from the trees for
food. A common method of treating
exhausted horses is to slit the animal s
palate with knife; the horse is revived
by swallowing his own blood.
Numbers OF 'sundowners" and "swag-
men" have been found dead by the way
side. The governments are doing every
thing possible to alleviate these condl.
tions, but neteorologists despair of any
change i'll the weather conditions.

organizer, who is temporarily in the

that strike of gigantic proportions is
threatened on the Great Northern.
Northern Pacific and all lines operated

have informed the railroad officials
that the employees would make IA de-
mand for Il 20 per cent. increase in
wages, shorter hours, double pay for
overtime, the abolition of blacklisting,
age limits and numerous union changes.
The railroad officials are reported to
have asked time until June 10 to frame
an answer. This was granted, and both
sides are preparing for conference.
The employees in all branches OF the
Hill lines have formed Il powerful
organization, and are in Il position tn
back their demands. Should strike
result it would tie up the entire North

PERISH IN THE COLUMBIA.
-Four People Drowned by the Cspsizins Of a
Boat Near kalama.

kalama, May 30.-ierbert Martin,
Ivey Martin, Myrtle Durkee and Nellie
Durkee were drowned in the Columbia
river at Martins bluff, Wednesday night
about 10 o'clock. Mrs. Martin and her
children, Herbert, Ivey and Ella and the
Misses Myrtle, Lille and Nellie Durkee
and Mrs. John Jones were returning in
a small beat from visit to neighbor
who lives on an island, when without a
moments warning the boat swamped,
apparently from an overload.
Ella Martin saved herself by catching
a floating log Herbert Martin saved his
mother and Lille Durkee by throwing
them on the upturned boat, and then lost
his life in vain attempt to save the
others Mrs. Jones was saved by a large
fur coat she had over her shoulders which
spread out on the water and kept her
head out of the water until she was res
cued by a neighbor in a boat.

End South African War.

London, May 29.-The Daily Chron-
icle this morning declares that the ne
gotiations of the present week will wit
ness the termination OF the war in
South Africa. The paper says it under
stands the government has declined to
grant the rebels unqualified amnesty or
to fix date for the establishment of
self government. and that the English
language will probably be the official
language in the two colonies. Against
this idea of a speedy announcement OF
peace is the decision reached in parlia-
ment yesterday to debate the education
bill and to postpone further debate on
the budget, which seems to show that
affairs in South Africa may require Il
greater period OF time for settlement.
