Helena, Mont, Jan 27.-At Logan as
the eastbOund passenger was pulling into
the depot a special eAstbound freight ran
into the passenger, striking two sleeping
cars and knocking them of the track,
one sleeper being driven almost on to the
platform The freight engine was slightly
injured The strange part of the accident
was that no one was injured.
Both trains were coming into the Logan
depot on almost parallel lines, but fortu-
nately both were running slowly. The en-
gineer of the freight train claimed the air
brakes would not work properly. With
the exception of the two sleepers being
rather badly smashed and some slight
damage to the freight engine, little harm
was done.

St Petersburg, Jan. 27.-An English
newspaper a few days ago printed a series
Of alleged stories communicated by q GER
tain DIR. Alexander UIlaF. which, IL au.
thentie, would tend to indicate that Rus
ala instigated the Boxer movement. The
treaty concerning ManchuriA, or rather the
first draft Of it, giving Russia extensive
exclusive rights in Mongolia and Turke-
stan as well, was prepared by Ii Hung
Chang and the Russians before the Boxer
outbreak. The documents make liberal
use Of the name Of Prince oukhtomsky
and that Of Won GrOte, who has been en-
gagged in gold mining in Mongolia with
che aid Of st. Petersburg capital and
American miners and mining machinery.
1T IS a pure humbug and lie from be-
