Russian Demands Regarding Man.
churia So Considered.
Washington, April 25.- Minister
Conger, from Picking, has cabled to
Secretary Hay synopsis of the de-
mands made upon China by Russia re-
specting control of Manchuria. The
demands are that China sign an agree
ment practically ceding to Russia SOW
ereignty Of Manchuria and excluding
other nations from that country. Mr..
Conger also confirms the report that
the Russian charge d'affaires, M. Plan
con, has informed Prince Ching, presi-
dent of the foreign Office, that no fur
Their steps in the evacuation Of Man
churia will be taken until this agree
ment is signed. Secretary Hay will
take no action in the matter until he
has communicated the facts to the
president and has learned the latter's
wishes.
The present impression here is that
the Russian action is distinct breach
CT faith with the United States. The
Russian government pledged itself
three times formally, and the docu.
ments are of record, that the "open
door, should be maintained in Man.
churia and Russian troops would be
withdrawn as soon as peace was re-
stored. Finally the latter promise
took the shape of treaty stipulation.

a severe attack of govt and since had
been confined to the house:
Governor Ramsey was the Snk that
bound Minnesota to her territorial
past. 49,.
His appointment by Zachary Taylor
to the governorship of the newly Great
ed territory was only the beginning.
AS chief executive he served that ter
ritory faithfully and well, and then
the turbulent young town, St.. Paul,
needing a mayor, he accepted the
charge and Gained it's turbulence.
Offered Troops to Lincoln.
Again a governor, this time Of a
state, and again an opportunity. The
nation was in peril, the great man at
its head needed the assurance that all
Northern states were loyal. Governor
Ramsey assumed the initiative and
Abraham Lincoln was assured that the
soldiers of Minnesota awaited; only the
presidents command. Other states
quickly followed Minnesota's example
but Governor Ramsey's prompt action
has made the state he represented
then forever renowned in American
history. Not the least title that the
dead man wore was the proud one of
war governor.
As United States senator from 1863
to 1875 he gave up frontier life for
awhile to mingle in the life of the cap.
ital. Sturdy qualities had made him
respected by the rough frontiersmen.
Those same qualities made him a
strong influence for good in the DELHI
erations of the nations august body of
lawmakers, but the courtly demeanor
had almost as much to do in making
the state respected through it's repre-
sentative.
Another four years of frontier life
and Alexander Ramsey was once more
called back to Washington, this time
, to serve as secretary of war under
President Hayes, which position he
filled brilliantly to the close of the
presidents term
His last national Office was that OF
member Of the Utah commission, which
he held from 1881 to 1886. After the
commission dissolved he came back to
the state that delighted to do him
honor, and for the remaining seven
teen years of his life he showed that
he could be as great as a private citi-

ELEVEN MEN KILLED.
Twenty-Five Others Injured in Wreck
80. ~~ Near Buffalo, Kan.


80. ~ Near Buffalo, Kan.
Buffalo, Kan, April 28.-A north
bound Missouri Pacific stock train
crashed into the rear end of work
train just north Of this town and
eleven men were killed and twenty
five injured. Ten of the latter are
seriously and four probably fatally
hurt. They were Greeks and Italians,
excepting one, Peter Fry, an Amerf
can, who has lived here several years
and was boss on the work train.
The cause of the wreck is given as
misleading of orders.
The work train consisted of fat
cars and caboose, all filled with la
borers.. The men on the fiat cars
escaped by jumping, but hardly man
in the caboose escaped. The work
train was backing into town for the
night and running at good speed.
The heavy freight engine did not
leave the track, but plowed the work
train off the track, leaving little of it
except car wheels and kindling wood.
Doctors Of Buffalo, assisted by the
townspeople, did heroic work among
the injured until the wrecking train,
with surgeons of Needesha and q
corps of half a dozen physicians from
Cofeyville and Independence, arrived.
The dead and injured were taken to
Coffeyville, the latter to be temporar-
lily cared for at the hospital there.
The scene of the wreck for several
hours looked like a battlefield by. the
dazzling light of the burning debris,
with dead men strewn out upon the
ground where they had been left after
being taken from the wreck.

Minneapolis, April 24.-Ten persons,
eight men and two women, were killed
by an explosion at the plant of the
Northwestern Star Oil company at the
foot of Sixth avenue southeast. The
dead are as follows: 5s~. !. 1 >1-.

IOu were 1uJuT0u.
The explosion came without an in
stant's warning and a second after the
conclusion the walls had been thrown
down and the entire structure was a
mass Of flames. Not 3 person in the
Office escaped alive.
Five Workmen engaged on the Sec
ond floor were thrown twenty feet into
the air and these were the only per-
sons who escaped. They climbed
through, the debris and are now at the
city hospital.
Cause Of Explosion Mystery.
Although the cause of the explosion
has not been determined, it is said
that some of the employees Of the CON-
pany. were emptylng some oil tank
cars into the tanks in the basement
of the building and it is possible that
sparks from a switch engine ignited
the inflammable fluids.
Several explosions followed in quick
succession and made the work of the
firemen both difficult and dangerous.
The men could not approach the ruins
and the water thrown on the flames
was without effect All the department
could do was to permit the flames to
burn themselves out and then search
for the bodies OF the dead.
The company was composed of w.
H. Davis and was not incorporated.
The stock was valued at $4,000 and
the building at $4,000. The insurance
was $23,7 and the loss is total. All
that remains Of the building is a fire
wall which stood between the Office
and the tank room. All the other
walls are levelled.
Since the great mill explosion of
1878 this is the greatest disaster Min
neapolis has experienced. ..
up>to Monday morning eight bodies
had been recovered from the ruins.
