DRINKS WRECK TROLLEY CAR.
DISTINCTIONS Placed on Tracks at Flag
Station, "..

Rochester, N. Y, July 2S.-An at
tempt by five men to wreck an incom-
ing trolley car at Rifle Range, a short
distance north of this city, on the
ocnest & lrondequoit railway late
tonight, resulted in a real n COLL
sion, in which several passengers were
seriously and several others slightly
injured.
Shortly before 10 o'clock G NO.
457 left Summerville, on Lake On
tario, bound tor the city, heavy laden
with passengers, with orders not to
stop at Rifle Range, which is a nag
station only. AS the car approached
this point, the motorman discovered
al obstruction on the track and
brought his car to a stop just IN the
nick of time. The obstruction, which
consisted of several lengths OF picket
fencing and other material, lac been
placed on the track by five men under
the influence of liquor, because, as
they said, they had attempted to nag
other inbound cars without success
and determined to make sure OF the
next attempt. While the crew was
trying to clear the track in order to
proceed, car No. 459, also south-bound,
came along at a rapid speed and S
ed in to the zeal of the car ahead.
The vestibule on both cars were
smashed and their interiors were
wrecked. Most of those injured were
caught in the wrecked vestibules and
between broken car seats. The po-
lice are making every effort to ap-
prehend the five men who placed the
obstruction on the track. They dis
appeared Immediately after the wreck
and have not yet been captured.

Seattle, July 2S.-William Nixon of
the disolderly district of Seattle, tried
to win a woman's affections in the
guise OF Outlaw Tracy. and is nearly
dead as the result CT his %foolhardy
act. He told an actress in a music
hall that he was none other than the

with money. Saturday night, when
he entered the theater. he was attack

Joe Williams. a brother of Deputy
Sheriff Jack Williams, who was
wounded in a battle with Tracy at
Bothell, July 8. He was pounded into
in%sensibility and has not fully regain

discovered when the mans features
were compared to- those of a photo

almost a miracle that the policeman

ELEVENTH WEEK OF STRIKE.
Rumor That Operators Will Attempt
to Start Working a Mine.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. July 28.-The- be
ginnings of the eleventh week of the
anthracite miners strike finds appar-
emily no change in the situation. al.
though the has been revived
that an effort will be made some day
this week, upon the part Of one OF
the large companies, to start up n
of their collieries. The companies
have a sufficient number of coal and
iron policemen enlisted now to pre-.
vent trouble should it arise, and all
that would be necessary to get a mine
in operation would be a sufficient num-
Der of miners and laborers to blast
the coal and load it N the cars. NO
doubt plenty of ordinary 1aborers
could be secured, but it is a question
whether the requisite number Of min
ers could be persuaded to go into the
workings.
At strike headquarters the belief
is as strong as ever that the operators
cannot resume and that it is idle talk
to even suggest such a thing.
President Mitchell simply says that
the situation is about the same as
ever and that the strikers are as firm
as ever. A great deal of t~elegraphing
passed today between Wilkesbarre,
Indianapolis and the headquarters of
the United Mineworkers in West Vir-
ginia, the nature Of which Mitchell
would not make public. Three hun
dred delegates. representing 10000
Polish and Lithuanian residents OF
the Wyoming valley. met in conven-
ton here today and after indorsing
the strike. appointed a committee OF
10 to visit New York. Philadelphia,
| Pittsburg and other large cities and
solicit aid from the Polish and Lith'
unaian people for their own country
men now on strike in the anthracite
region.
President Mitchell has consented tc
serve on the board which will arbi
trate the differences between the
Scranton Electric Railway company
and it's employees.

the outside world.

intrusion of the strenuous civilization
Of the outside. Lieutenant De Clari-
mont was stationed at Pagbilao, Tai

the story Of the white people told
him by one Manuel Castro, a native
of high standing, was c~orroborated
by the local priest and by the resi-
dents of the province.

They have in the interior, as their
headquarters a city of more than TO-
600 inhabitants. There are many
more of them scattered throughout
the country surrounding their CAPT

According to Castro the existence
of these white folks was discovered
25 years ago, by a Spanish surgeon
who took two of the white children
to Europe. One of them he adopt
ed and educated as a lawyer. This
one returned to the islands and after
wards wrote to the Spanish surgeon.
He had found his parents and had de.
cided to cast his lot with them and
their people. 1ney are Mohammedans

life to introducing the Christian re,

STATUS OF SOUTH AFRICA.
Steps Which Would Be Taken by the
Government.

London, July 29.-Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain appeared in the
house Of today for the first
time since his recent accident. He
was greeted with hearty cheers and
later he was warmly congratulated
by Sir Henry CAMPBELL annerman,
liberal leader in the house.
Sir Henry Campbell-B annerman sup
plemented his congratulations by ask
ing for information of the colonial
| conference. He expressed the hope
that lenient treatment would be eX-
tended to the Beers in South Africa.
Mr.. Chamberlain replied that the one
| spirit animating the members of the
conference was the desire to draw
| closer the constituent parts of the
empire and he thought it safe TO- say
that the conference had made import
ant progress toward permanent union,
to which he himself looked forward.
Regarding South Africa, Lord Miner,
| the high commissioners, had telegraph
ed spontaneously that he did not
think further legislation necessary to
make the Punishment proclamation eff
f%ective. The government, however.
reserved to itself the important right
in the new colonies to refuse to allow
the return or to keep watch over per-
sons who showed themselves inimical
to good order and peace.
1--WE are not going to allow the re-
suit of the war to be undetermined"
said Mr.. Chamberlain, ''by intrigues
carried on by nominally constitutional
means"
Regarding the future status of South
Africa, the secretary said the imperial
government has established a crown
colony in the strictest sense. The
next step would be to add a nominated
official element. Thereafter there
would be an elected official element
and then nothing but circumstances
and time would separate the new col
onies from full self-government, the
ultimate goal of their ambition.

YOUNG PANTHER At PICNIC
BIG BEAST AT LARGE IN BRONX
PARK.
Not Vicious and Fled on Observing
~" His Attendance at Feast
Was Not Desired.

New York, July 2S.-Gnawing it's
way out of a box in the Geological
Gardens in Bronx park, a young
panther just arrived from Mexico
walked up TO a picnic party of women
and children and, astonished by their
panic, jumped over their heads into
a tree and has since led keepers and
hunters a weary chase through the
Bronx park jungle. ne panther is a
fine speciment, lS inches high at the
shoulders, five feet long, and weighs
As pounds. He was shipped from
Mexico in a pine box with Stats. To
render the possibility of his escape
more difficult. he was chained to the
inside Of the crate, a heavy collar
being fastened about his neck, to
which the end of the chain was tied.
When the crate arrived at the Zoo
logical park 1t was deposited near the
reptile house pending the establish
ment Of it's occupant in regular quar-
ters.
The keeper having removed one OF
the Stats and unfastened the animals
collar, left the crate unguarded for a
time. The panther hest no time in at
lacking with teeth and claws the Stats
which stood between him and liberty.
Interesting to S%ightseers.
The park a. filled with sightseers
when the animal escaped. Cunning
ly avoiding the open walks by keep
ing close to the bush-wood, which in
places is very dense. he succeeded
in escaping from the Geological reser-
vaticn and passed into { densely
wooded part of the park. Then the
escape was discovered. Keepers
with shotguns and revolve.s and nets
started forth to capture the animal.
Through the heavy brush the little
posse made its way northward, but
four hours passed before any trace
was found. 24
About a mile north of the museum
a party of 80 children out picnicking
saw the panther emerge from a
thicket. It ran toward them and they
fed. On n occasion he wandered
up to a tablecloth upon which a
luncheon had been spread, and quick
ly devoured the meal. Sightseers
made their wav from the park, but on
ly feeting glimpses of the animal
were obtained. although the hunt was
kept up till night.
The park authorities say the panther
is not vicious. and that it probably
will be shot by someone living near
the scene.
