An Apparent Attempt Upon the Life
of the Ruler of Japanese
Nation.

Vancouver, B. c., Dec. 31.-Japan-
csc papers received by the steamer
Athenian tell of what appeared to be
an. attempt at assassination on the
emperor by foreigner named Thor
son. This man, with an eX-member of
the japanese parliament, Tanaka
Sjoseo, waited for the imperial car
riage after the ceremony of opening
the diet had taken place. The jap
anees member wished to present doc
ument to his majesty, and threw off
his hat and coat to approach the car
riage. AS he rushed forward Thorson
also ran up with pistol in his hand,
but before he. could do anything was
overpowered and disarmed by the SOL
diers of the guard. 1t is alleged that
Thorson had an interest in the docu-
ment which the japanese was attempt
ing o present to the emperor, and that
he brandished the weapon merely to
impress the japanese with his impor-
lance. Thorson is still in Jail, while
the japanese was Professionally par
doned.

IN COLD BLOOD.
Passenger en- n Train In hIississ
sippi Is Murdered by Four
Drunken Men.

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 31.-Four
fensive passenger on train No. 6 of
the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley
branch of the Illinois Central rail-
road at an early hour Monday morn
ing near Leland, Miss, cut the loco
motive from the train and forced the
engineer to run to Cleveland, Miss.
All four men We're arrested, one be-
ing in Jail at Leland and three are
locked up at Shelby. The four men
are Ashley Cooke, prominent bust
ness man of Cleveland; A. M. Phipps,
postmaster at Shelby; Thomas
Lauderdale, said to be relative of
Phipps, and man named Blackman,
residence unknown.
The men went from Shelby to Le-
land early Sunday night. At Leland.
it is said, they spent several hours
drinking and carousing. AT three a.
m. the men boarded the north-bound
train to return to Shelby. J. NJ.
Rhea, an engineer, was on his way
to Tutwiler to take out locomotive
there and was sleeping ON seat in
| the sleeper. Cooke had a revolver
and Lauderdale and Blackman had
Winchester rifles. Walking up the
aisle Phipps was in advance of the
party. When he came in contact
with Rhea's legs, which were extend
ed out into the aisle. Rhea was awak-
ened, and inquired what was the mat
ter? The members of the party dis
cussed the situation angrily, for
awhile, and then the quartette went
out on the car platform. Very soon
they returned and told Rhea that
they could not all stay in the same
car, that he would have to get out.
Rhea remarked that in order to pre-.
vent trouble he would have to do as
they told him. Thereupon he start
ed out of the car. He had Just
reached the door, when it is claimed
the men opened fire upon him and he
fell.
Conductor George Mclaughlin or
dered the train back to Leland, there
to leave the corpse. AS soon as Lee
land was reached the conductor
went in search of the sheriff and
peace officers. The four men drove
everybody out of the smoker and
the adjacent car during the run back
to Leland, and when they arrived
there they covered Engineer De-
laney with their guns and told him
if he did not obey their commands
they would kill him. He was com
PEELED to uncouple his engine, and
when the men mounted into the cab
he was ordered to run to Shelby.
Phipps became separated from his
companions and was arrested at Lee
land. At Shelby the others waited
for the next train, on which they
Travelled to Cleveland, where they
were arrested without trouble. They
were placed in Jail at Shelby. There
is much excitement and indignation
among the people of the Leland and
Shelby neighborhoods over the trag-
edy, but no violence is anticipated.

LANDSLIDE WRECKS A TRAIN
Five Persons Killed in Disaster
mt Reuscns, va.

Lynchburg, Va, Dec. 3o.-Five per-
sons were killed in wreck on the
James River branch of the Chesa-
peake & Ohio railway at Reusens, Ave
miles south of here, Sunday evening.
The wreck was due to landslide,
which barely missed the passenger
coach. Passengers from the scene of
the wreck express the opinion that
probably one or two passengers are
buried under the debris caused by the
slide. The train consisted of an en-
CINE, tender, baggage car and one
passenger car, which was we'll filled
with travellers. The train had run
into rock slide without damage, and
the trainmen and some of the pas
sengers had succeeded in pushing the
passenger car back from under the
cliff. They were trying to do the
same thing for the baggage car,
when second heavy slide came
down. The car was overturned, and
Thompson, Fisher and Shannon were
crushed. Conductor Whitaker was
knocked into the river and drowned.

be Endorsed by the executives Of other
states who were present, and that the
fight against the railroad consolidation
will be carried to finish. What this
plan is Gov. Van SAINT refused to state

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 31.-Gov

has come to be heralded abroad as ;
meeting in open hostility to railroad

two sleepers, two passenger cars and
eight freight cars filled with oats and
corn were entirely demolished, and
nearly the whole of the woodwork OF
the wreckage was consumed by fire
within half an hour after the, accident
occurred.
Cause Of the Wreck.
The wreck was one of the most Sc
rious that have occurred on the North
western road for several years. twas
caused by seemingly unaccountable
error that brought freight train from
siding onto the main track at the
moment when he accommodate pas
senger train No. 6, east bound, flew
| past the little depot at rate of 40
miles an hour.
The freight train, with eight ears.
had been ordered to start from Malta
| for DeKalb, and after some preliminary
switching on side track that parallels
/ the main line was started over short
cross rail to make the run down. The
engine and the first car were half way
onto the main track when the passen-
ger train bore down on them, throw
ing the freight locomotive to the side
of the track and boring through the
wreckage. each car crushing in as it
swept by the obstruction.
Four Killed.
Engineer i. Larrabee and Fireman
+. p. Curran, of the passenger train
were thrown out of their cab. both sus-
tanning fractures of the right Reg and
falling to the ground close beside the
| freight engine, which was belching out
clouds of steam. The porter of the last
Pullman car at the rear OF the train
was on the back platform, and when
the sudden stop came he was plunged
into the escaping steam, being literally
cooked to death before aid could reach
him. D. O. Nichols, of Council Bluffs
Ia. was badly burned and scalded anC

Wreck Takes Fire.
The inhabitants of the villag,
turned out and at once began the worl
of rescue, hauling passengers on
through the twisted metal work of tn
ears and fighting the fire, which rapid
ly spread all over the piled up tracks
At few minutes after six o'clocl
the first medical aid came to tn
wounded from DeKalb, six doctors be
ing rushed to the place on specia

MEETS WITH A CHECK.
Big Railway Deal Tied Up by an Order
from Court.


Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 31.-Judge
Elliott, of the district court of Hen
'hepin county, Monday morning grant
ed temporary order restraining the
officers of the Northern Pacific Rail
road company from retiring the pre-
ferred stock Of that company. The
order was issued on the application
of Peter Power, of New York. who
holds 100 shares of the common
stock and who came on from New
York with his attorneys for the pur-
pose of beginning the action. 1t was
supposed that the failure of the &C
tion brought in the New York courts
by holders of preferred stock cleared
away the last obstacle to the retire
ment of the preferred on January l..
leaving the Hill interest in control of
she road through its majority of the
common stock.
For the Hartman interests.
1t is inferred, although it does not
so appear. that the present action is
brought in behalf of the Hartman
snterest to prevent control passing
out of it's hands for another year or
until the legal standing of the North
arm Securities company is settled.
';,he claim set up by Mr.. Power in his
suit is that the retirement of the pre-
serred stock is in violation of the
agreement that such retirement
would lay no additional burdens upon
Che common stock and he holds that
she certificates of debenture bonds
30 be issued to effect the retirement
of the preferred would become lien
upon the common stock and thus
work an injury to his property.
1t is understood that the block OF
100 shares held by Power is the only
block of common not hitherto con-
trolled and definitely located upon
one side or the other, the Hartman
people or the Hill-Morgan interest.
Judge w. A. Lancaster is the local
attorney of Mr.. Power and appeared
for him Monday morning. The re-
straining order will not only be
served on the officials in Minnesota
but will be telegraphed to New York
and served on the officials there.
Papers Served.
