TWO ENGINES DESTROYED.
Act of Miscreant at Vancouver, Wash.

Vancouver, Wash-The act of
miscreant recently practically de
stroyed two new engines on the Port
land & Vancouver extension of the
Northern Pacific railway near this
city. An engine was left standing
on a sidetrack with a small head of
steam on. Some one coming along
entered the cab and opened the throt-
tie. The engine started off, got on
the main line and after running a mile
collided with coal car. The car was
demolished and the front part of the
engine badly damaged.
In the collision the reverse lever was
thrown and the now damaged engine
started back in the direction from
which it came, ran several miles and
came in contact with dead" engine,
both engines being badly damaged. No
trace of the amateur engineer could
he found.

session of congress for the public
service; then to adjourn and return to

NEW PLACE FOR MITCHELL.
Rumor Says That He Is to Take
Cortelyou's Place.

Pittsburg, Nov. 10.-The Dispatch
has published a story to the effect
that John Mitchell will not be can
didate for reelection as president of
the United Mineworkers at the Janu-
airy convention. This statement was
made by a close personal friend of Mr.
Mitchell during a short layover here
of the miners president and other
officials of the union, who are on their
way to Boston to attend the con-
vention Of the American Federation
Of Labor.
The announcement from this appar-
entity authoritative source is raised
above mere rumor. The same gentle
man said Mr.. Mitchell, assuming that
President Roosevelt would be re-
elected, decided to lay aside the min
ers' Office to become a member of the
presidents cabinet, succeeding George
b. Cortelyou as secretary of the de-
partment of commerce and labor. Sec
rotary Cortelyou, it is said, has de
cided not again to be the head of the
department, and may go back to the
position of secretary to the president

TURKS DEFEATED BY INSURGENTS.
Fierce Fighting Near MOnaStlr Continued
SIX HOurS-The Massacre of
Christians.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Aug. 18.-A fierce
battle is reported to have occurred in
the neighborhood of Monastir
Three Turkish battalions attacked a
thousand insurgents and after the
fight had ragged for six hours the
Turks were repulsed with the loss of
2lO men killed or wounded. The
insurgents loss is not given.
Reports received here from Con-
stantinople, and believed to be au-
thentic confirm the previous state
ments to the effect that when the
Turks receptured Krushevo they
slaughtered the entire Christian
population without exception, and it
is pointed out that among those killed
were the employees of the govern.
ment tobacco establishments which
were under European control, as the
proceeds from these establishments
were assigned to the service of the
Turkish debt.
A reign of terror is reported to
prevail at Uskub, where the Christ.
ian inhabitants are afraid TO leave
their houses. The vail has issued
the strlcteat orders to the Mussul
man population to remain quiet and
not molest their Christian neighbors,
bnt the mussnlmsns, meeting in the
mosque, have resolved al given
signal to massacre the whole Christ
iau population Immediately the
first insurgent band appears near
Osknb or on any pretext. The
Christians are terrorized. The Tur
kish troops, who are their only pro-
lection, do not show the slightest
disposition to aid them. The stti

PASSING OF A GREAT INDUSTRY
Abolition Of Office Of Phosphate Inspector
Marks The Decadence OF An In
duStry Once The Greatest
In The State.
Columbia Record.

Columbia Record.
The abolition of the office of phos
phate inspector marks the decadence
OF an industry in this sta.e, which at
one time was the largest in it and
which brought into the treasury of
the state several millions of dollars
after the phosphate deposits began
to be worked. When Tillman was
elected governor he caused some leg
lslatlon to be passed which the Coo.
saw company, which had a practical
monopoly of the business, claimed
was inimical to the industry. The
legislation undoubtedly put that par
tloular company practically out of
business, but it is doubtful whether
the course pursued had any bad effect
on phosphate mining generally. How
ever, the troubles of the industry
began and increased about that time,
for valuable deposits were found in
Florida, Tennessee and other places,
which could be worked cheaper than
our own phosphate deposits. The
business in consequence grew less
and less until now,i it is comparative
ly nothing as compared with former
years, or as compared with the bust
ness done in other states.
Statistics show that from 1870 to
19OO the state received in ROYALTIES
$3,242, 2,06S.53, the royalty in one year
1898, amounting to $237,15O For
the paot three years it has amounted
to only $4,000 annually. This
money is placed in the sinking fund
and is pledged to be used for the
reduction of the debt.
That a great industry has been
practically destroyed is to be re-.
GREETED not only because it takes away
from us a pre- eminence we once had,
but because 80 many have had to
seek employment elsewhere, and be-
cause the state loses great source
or revenue. Still we have some
consolation in the thought that it
is no fault of ours that this industry
has passed almost, for nature made
1t 30 that we can no longer compete
with sections which have been more
favored in this particular.

YOUNG WHITE GIRL IMPRISONED.

ROOT FOR PRF.,IDENT.
flah 10 Make Him Succeed Roosevelt III
1908 First to be Governor of the
State Of New York.

New York Republicans are now
considering a proposition, said to
have the Endorsement of President
Roosevelt, looking to the nomination
OF Secretary Root for Governor Of
New York, and in 1908 for President
OF the United States. The Demo.
cratic version of the storyis is that the
President is pushing forward Mr.
Root prominently in politics with the
idea of placatlng the opposition to
the present national administration
which exists in financial circles in
New York.
MIR. Root Is one member of the ad-
ministration at least who is not looked
upon by the financial interests with
disfavor, and the Democratic politi-
cal gossips who are discussing the
latest political proposition say that
undoubtedly MIR. Root would have a
great deal of influence with that class
in the way of preventing their sulk.
ing in their tents in the coming Pres
idential campaign. 1t is pointed out
that if Mr.. Root is slated for the
highest State honor, with the ulti
mate idea of his friends in view of
giving him the Presidential nomina
ton, it would place HIM in prom.
nence as a political referee and on.
able him to talk politics with the
business men.
1t has been rumored for some time
that the real reason for Mr. Roots
return to New York and his depart
ure from the cabinet was that he
might get in closer touch with New
York politics, State and National, and
render service ~ his chief which
might be very badly needed if the
present opposition of Wall street
grows worse.

1t will be most fortunate if the

records that were filed with the State
board of equalization at it's meeting
in 1902, showing the result of the
careful inquiry made as to the valu.
alton OF farm lands as related to the
assessed valuations. The facts were
from the records.
Very many and very varied have
been the plans that have been sug-
gested by which the State can get
additional taxes. Some suggest a
license system, with franchise tax;
others say that if all classes of
property were put on the books at
lOO cents on the dollar the State
would be able to remain on cash
basis.
The members of the commission
have been studying the tax laws of
many other of the States, and hope
to get up some plan that will prove
satisfactory to all interests.
THE COMMISSION MEETS.
The tax commission met in the
office Of the Secretary of State at 8
O'Clock tonight and held preliml-
nary meeting. The members of
the commission discussed the grounds
that are to be covered by them and
committees were appointed to look
into the taxation Of different branches
in the State.
Senator George S. Mower was
elected chairman and Representative
John 7. Thomas, Jr., secretary.

made, and they should be addressed

committees the board adjourned to
