TWELVE MEN KILLED IN A COLLISION
ON GREAT NORTHERN.
SnOwplow Telescopes Freight Car Loaded
With Workmen In Okanogan County,
WashingtOn-Eleven Men are More or
Less Seriously Hurt = Only Two Es-
capped Injury.

Leavenworth, Wash, Jan. 22.--
Twelve men dead and as many more in
iured is the result OF rear-end coIlis-
ion that occurred on the Great North
ern five miles west of Chiwaukum at
O'Clock yesterday morning. An extra
from Skykomish loaded with lumber
and three cars containing laborers ran
into rotary snow pillow, killing or in
juring all Of the 25 workmen. Ten
cars are piled up in a heap, with nine
victims of the wreck still underneath.
The names of the dead are not obtain
able.
The engineer, L. E. Adams, and
Fireman Lewis Becker, OF the freight,
escaped only by miracle. The box
cars that we're used for transporting the
crew were coupled next to the engine,
with the cars of lumber following, and
when the crash came the lumber tele-
scoped the box cars loaded with their
human freight, killing and mangling
the entire crew. Only two escaped,
and they were thrown bodily into the
air, landing 30 feet upon an embank-
ment.
The men were in their hunks and
asleep when the accident occurred.
Those that escaped had little clothing
and were nearly chilled to death while
waiting for aid.

Bio ARMY OF UNEMPLOYED.
Distress Prevailing In London is Almost
Unprecedented.

New York, Jan. 22.--There can no
longer be any question as to the extent
and gravity OF the distress now prevail
ing in London, says the Tribune's cor
respondent in London. Many thous-
ands Of men in excess of the usual aver
age are out Of employment this winter,
and the work houses cannot accommo-
date all the people demanding shelter.
Things have reached serious pass in
the east end OF the metropolis, while
the tide OF alien immigration is steadily
rising higher and higher.
A serious state of affairs exists also
in other parts of Great Britain. An
endless stream of country-bred folk is
pouring into the overcrowded cities,
while Canadian farmers organize expe-
ditions to search the old country for
much needed labeT and offer good wages
for efficient men without satisfactory
results.
Official statistics show that the Brit
ish emigrant does not generally elect to
make his home in the British colonies.
OF 205, ,910 emigrants from this country
last year, 108, sol went to the United
States. This condition OF things in
duced one newspaper to declare that the
future Of the British race is imperiled
by the drafts made upon it from Amer
lea and that the greatest and most BEN
eficent work British statesman could
perform for the welfare of the nation
would be the Inauguration of some
scheme for redistributing the British
people in the British empire.
Seldom has legislation met more i'm
mediate success than the new licensing
act. For once the law would seem to
have got even with the great army of
topers. Touched in their tenderest
spot, these interesting individuals are
forswearing drink with an slacrity
which seems to show conclusively that
there is after all sorhe virtue in what
was once contemptuously called by a
great statesman "grandmotherlY legis-
lation."

ISLE OF PINES NO MANS LAND.
American Residents Say 1t is American
Went Pay Taxes to Cuba.


Havana, Jan. 22.-The Americans
residing on the Isle of Pines deny the
general assumption OF the Cuban gov
ernment that the United States has no
special interest in the island and is not
likely to insist on the eventual owner
ship of it. In any event, they seem
confident of having the support of the
United States, ii necessary, in their re-.
sistance to being governed and taxed by
Cuban officials, pending a settlement
of the question of ownership of the
sland. The matter is expected to re-
ceive important consideration in con-
nection with the settlement of the loca-
tion of the coaling stations and other
pending questions between Cuba and
the United States.
Recently the American residents of
the island unitedly notified the alcalde
of the Isle of Pines and the Cuban gov
ernment of their intention to resist, by
force If necessary, the collection of
taxes or any assumption OF authority
over the island by the Cuban govern
ment. The taxes are now falling due,
and every American has pledged him.
self not to pay them.
The Americans contention is founded
on the section OF the Platt amendment
which expressly omits the Isle of Pines
from the boundaries of Cuba and leaves
the title to it for further adjustment by
treaty. Some 800 Americans have
eince the war taken up their residence
in the Isle of Pines, and it is estimated
that 500 Americans have interests in
the island. The American portion of
the population is not of an adventurous
character, but is largely composed of
people of mature years who have en-
gagged in the business of fruit raising.
Their desire that the island remain
American is not purely sentimental,
since, they claim, as Cuban posses
sion it would receive no more than 20
per cent tariff preference, while as ter
ritoiy of the United States the islands
hope for freer trade with America.
The government, while acknowledge
ing that the matter OF the ownership of
the island is open, holds that it has de
facto control over the island for the
time being at least, and that it there
fore is authorized to levy taxes and per-
form other governmental functions. 1t
is believed that the United States will
approve of this sltUatoin as against
the protests OF the American residents
who Tafnsa to nav taxea

RIoT IN TROLLEY CAR.
Drunken Soldiers Of "Fighting Sixteenth
Stab the Conductor.

, New York, Jan. 2l.--Riotous soldiers
from Fort Slocum created a panic on a
trolley car bound for Mount Vernon and
nearly murdered the conductor, Louis
Ettinger. The soldiers, who are mem
bers of the Fighting Sixteenth, f"
United States infantry, just back from
Luzon, were drinking from TASKS and
having boisterous time, and one Of
them made an insulting remark, which
Mr.. Mitchell, passenger, and Daniel
Long, former motorlnan, resented.
Then half dozen soldiers sprang on
Long and Mitchell and kicked and
punched them.
In the excitement several of the sol
diers drew revolvers and began firing
through the windows. Women
screamed and tainted, while men ran
to the platform and jumped from the
car. The conductor, who was trying TO
collect fares. received knife thrust in
the back and fell to the floor and
Mitchell was thrown bodily through a
car window.
Four policemen boarded the car at
Sixth street. When the soldiers saw
tie policemen they leaped off and scat
tered in all directions, but three'of
them were captured. The prisoners
denied they did the stabbing, but after
they had been searched and nothing
was found on them, the police picked
up blood covered knife from the floor,
where one of them had dropped it.
1t is believed that Conductor Ettin-
ger is fatally wounded. The prisoners
we're held for trial.

MAY TRY ANOTHER ROUTE.
President Weary of cOlombia's Demands
fop Panama Canal Route.

Washington, Jan. 21.--- Interest has
been revived in the prospects OF the
Nicaragua canal, as it seems to have
become an absolutely hopeless matter
to continue negotiations with Colon.
bia, because Of the great demands OF
that country, as we'll as the compliea.
tions arising out of the purchase of the
Panama canal property.
President Roosevelt has begun an
investigation OF the San Bias route
which was championed by Senator
Scott, of West Virginia last summer.
This route means canal 20 miles long,
five miles, OF which must be tunnel
through solid rock. 1t also is en-
braced within Colombian territory,
and negotiations for this route would
probably be blocked as we'll as for the
Panama route.
OF course the president has an altern-
atlve proposition in the Nicaragua
route, and the friends of that route do
not despair that it will be the route
finally adopted. Had a limitation been
placed in the bill upon the time in
which negotiations with Colombia
should be brought to close, it would
have given more assurance for the
Nicaraguan route. As it is, the presi-
dent is unlimited as to time and he can
use his own discretion as to whether he
shall continue or break off the negotia-
tions with that government.
The assertion is made that the trans
continental railroads have turned to
the president and are urging him to
stave off all canal negotiations, and
these roads are alsv credited with a re-
vival of the San Bias route.
