GRAND TRUNK COLLISION.
Firemen Were Killed and Engineers
Injured.

st. GATHERINGS, Ont, Jan. "a Sc
rious collision occurred on the Grand
Trunk Railway to-day at the west end

engine going west. AS a result Fire
men C. Warning of London and Abra-

Falls, with Duke as engineer and De-
sault as fireman. The light engine was
in charge of Engineer Buckpitt. As
the passenger train, which was late,
left Merritton station, the light engine
was in the tunnel. Both sped on their
way, and about forty yards west of
the tunnel they came together with a
crash that demolished both engines
and wrecked the express car. The pas
sengers escaped with a shaking up and
some bruises.
According to an official statement
made by Supt. Jones, the accident was
caused by Engineer Buckpitt failing
to carry out running orders delivered
to him at Niagara Falls.

MAYOR OF SAN JUAN
is UNDER ARREST.
EmbezzIement of Municipal Funds Is
Charged.

San Juan, P. R., Jan. 3.-The Mayor
of this city, Manuel Egozcue, has been
arrested and is held on a $1,000 bail on
the charge made by Municipal Official
Inspector Holz of destroying the rec
ords of the city water receipts, which
constituted the only evidence of al
legged extensive populations and en-
bezzlements.
The allegations against the Mayor
were originally made last October in
a petit&n of citizens which was pre-
scented to the Governor and which
asked for the prosecution of the
Mayor. The editor of the News,
which published the text of the petit
ton, was arrested Oct. % on the COM
plant of the Mayor on a charge of
libel. This arrest caused considerable
excitement, which ended in the shoot
ing of two men. Since then three 9TH
err officials have been arrested and are
being prosecuted for alleged shortages
in their accounts and for embezZle-
ments. The populations are said to
range from $4,000 to $4,000 and mis-
appropriation of other funds is also
alleged.
The arrest of the Mayor to-day led
to great excitement. Mobs congre-
gated in the plaza and streets and
surrounded the office of Lawyer
Acuna, who has undertaken the de-
Tense of a former city official named
Rivera, who turned states evidence.
Shots were fired, but no persons sus-
tanned serious injury.

TO THE HAGUE TRIBUNAL.
Washington Thinks the Chinese
Question should Go.

Washington Thinks the Chinese
Question should Go.
Washington. Jan. 3.-The State De-
partment has received confirmatory adj
vices from Pekin of the declination of
the Powers to receive their second in
demnity installment on the silver ba-
sis.
1t is not understood that the declina-
ton was accompanied by threat, but
she action itself is regarded as sinis-
ter, If. as has been suggested, it is not
taken with a view to making a record
of the position of Powers in this mat
ter. The situation is regarded here as
less the Washington government is to
utterly discredit every statement of the
Powers in the past two years, when
ever the possibility of a division of
China came up, it cannot believe there
is any intention to proceed to extremes.
1t is again suggested that the time is
ripe for a reference of this important
issue to the Hague tribunal, a con-
summation devoutly wished for by
China, and a course which has COM
mended itself to the Washington gov
eminent The United States, which
are interested equally with the other
Powers in getting as much money as
they can in the shape of indemnity,
still feel bound by moral law to sup
port the Chinese contention for the
silver basis, looking not only upon the
language of the protocols and the Pc
kin treaty itself, but also having
solicitous regard for China's. integrity
and perpetuity as a nation.
The other Powers are united in de-
handing a settlement on the gold ba-
sis. This is an issue which in the mind
of the officials here is eminently
adapted to the methods of arbitration.
So far China alone has suggested
reference to the Hague tribunal, but it
is possible and even probable that if
the Powers are going to extremes the
United States government will again
feel bound to discharge its duty un-
der Article 81 of the Hague tribunal
and point the way to arbitration.

the Waterman $40 and fed. Their es-
cape was made in vehicle stolen from
a barn in the outskirts. Their horse
proved a slow traveller, and they ex-
changed it at farm house near

Galesburg, where they boarded a Bur-
lington express. Information was wired
ahead, and detectives We're in waiting
at Quincy when the train drew into the
depot.

at Quincy. They were recognized in
stantly, and both drew pistols when
the officers rushed in upon them, but
they We're quickly overpowered and
disarmed. The men gave the names of

words "R. A. Vance, with the govern
ment service He said he had formerly
been a United States secret service de-
tective.

shirt and also a match box with %"
on it. Each man had a grip filled with
loose money, burglars tools and explo-
sives. The money amounted to $1.752.

CHANGE IN TRAFFIC,
New Method in Handling II mt New
Orleans.


Orleans.
New Orleans, Jan. "a big change
in the method of handling trans-con-
tinental passenger traffic via the New
Orleans gateway will go into effect to-
morrow, when all trains of the South
ern Pacific viii cross the Mississippi
river and operate from the Illinois
Central Depot. giving a solid double
daily service from New Orleans to
San Francisco. The Frisco system,
which has just announced it's intention
of entering New Orleans and for which
over $l.oO0.OOO has been expended in
city property for terminals, is also
likely to operate from the new termi-
nails and the Queen and Crescent prac-
tically closed its arrangements with
the Illinois Central to do the same.
The Frisco has published its char
ter in Louisiana and five weeks ago
published it in Mississippi, and 1t is
currently believed that the Yoakun
road will enter the city both by the
West and the East, very little con-
struction being necessary to do either
1t is also suggested that the Frisco
and Seaboard Air Line may enter into
traffics alliance for handling Eastern
business to New Orleans, the Frisco

Birmingham.
