POWDER TRAIN BLOWN UP.
Explosion Is So Heavy That People ara
Thrown Down.

New York, Oct. 27.-Three freight
cars, one of them loaded with dyna-
mite, broke away from freight train
on the Harlem river branch OF the New
York, New Haven < Hartford railroad,
and collided with the remainder of the
train on grade. The car with the
explosive in it was blown up. Engin-
eer Thomas Corrigan was thrown off
his seat and for few minutes was
slightly stunned. He regained his
presence Of mind, however, and shut
off steam, bringing the train to stop.
Nearly every house in Baychester
suffered damage from the explosion. A
woman who WAS thrown from her bed
is believed to be the only person who
was injured. A policeman who was
crossing the tracks mile from the
scene was knocked down by the con-
cussion. The three detached cars and
the rear car Of the main portion of the
train were destroyed. Within half a
mile of the Baychester station not a
pane of glass remained intact.
In Westchester village almost panic
reigned. Men rushed to the postofiice,
armed with clubs and guns, believing
that burglars had blown open the safe
Two lighthouses on Long Island sound,
half mile away from the scene of the
explosion, were wrecked.

FOR NORTHWEST
Chiei Of Engineers Recommends
Big Appropriations.
sl,7a,see roR RIVERS AND HAPscRs
csisabla River VIII Get the BsIk Of the
mosey i;hir Canal At Tho DaIles Is
Also Well Provided For.

Washington, Oct. 2s..-General Gil
lespie, chief Of engineers, in his annual
report, made public today, recon-
mended the appropriation at the COM
! Ing session Of congress OF Vi, 759 900
| for the improvement Of rivers ard har-
bors In Oregon, Washington and
| Idaho. -
The bulk Of the money asked for is
needed to carry on work at the mouth
| Of the Columbia, 10 provide 25-foot
channel In the Willamette and Column
| bia from Portland to the sea, and for
beginning the construction Of the ship
canal around the distractions in the
Columbia between The Dalles and
Cello.
For the former projects $500, 900
each Is recommended, and for The
DalIes canal, $500 600. These amounts,
added 10 the available balance, will
provide ample funds for continuing
work throughout the coming fiscal year,
and the fact that all three OF these
works are now known as continuing
contracts" will probably mean that APP
preparations therefor will be made In
the sundry civil bill and will not de-
pend upon the passage OF a river and
harbor bill at the coming session.
General Gillespie estimates that it
will cost t2,673,509 to complete the
improvement OF the lower Willamette
and Columbia rivers, in addition to
fl68, 2s0, available from prior appro-
priations, while TO complete the south
jctty at the mouth of the Columbia will
require f773, 1871, in excess of the t1,-
$50 600 still available and unexpended.
No estimate of the cost OF the new ca
nal at The Dalles has yet been made.
Among the other appropriations recon-
mended are:
Nine thousand dollars for carrying
ont the revised project for improving
the Willamette between Portland and
Oregon City, as suggested by the, spec
ial board of engineers; 10000 for
deepening the channel between Van
couver and the mouth of the Column
bia; $4,000 for completing the APP
proaches and grounds around the canal
and locks at the Cascades; $40, 900 for
continuing clearing of the channel of
the Snake river between Riparia and
Imnaha river; $4,000 for dredging
The Tillamook bay; $4,000 for Coos
river; 500, 900 for producing a greater
depth over the bar at the entrance Of
Coos Bay; $50, 900 for Coquille. river,
and 1900 for Clatskaanie river.
For strictly Washington improve
ments, the following amounts are
asked:
Lewis river, $4,000; Wiliapa river,
$4,000; entrance to Gray's Harbor,
f25 900; tributaries of Puget Sound,
$50 900; Olympia harbor, $25, 900 I;
Tacoma harbor, $4,000 Everett har-
Dor, 100000; New Whatcom harbor,
t25 900; Pen d'Oreille and Okanogan
rivers, ~ 800.

Russia Is Building Additional Barracks
st the Port of Dalry.

Berlin, Oct. 27.-An American who
has been some months at Dalny, the
Ruseisn seaport, on the Lao Tang pen
insular, arrived in Berlin. He in.
formed the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press that the Russian troops
apparently are arranging to stay in
Manchuria permanently. Russia had
100000 troops in the province, and
barracks are being erected at Dalny for
two additional regiments. Russia is
also strengthening her position on the
west bank of the Yalu river. Japan
continues her policy of settling Corea
She is acquiring large tracts of land,
and is building villages having wholly
Japanese administration.
The informant OF the correspondent
also said he did not believe war was
impending, "since Russia is satisfied 10
remain in Mancburia, not caring to
extend her authority into Corea.'

ulous finds of gold ore rivaling the
klondike discoveries have been made
on Owl creek, near Hamilton, Mont,
according to reports received in Butte.
The greatest excitement prevails, and a
stampede is on to the new fields. Miles
Romney, mayor of Hamilton, and one
OF the well known editors of the state.
has returned after spending several
weeks at the scene of the discovery, and
his account of gold finds sounds like a
fairy tale.
Ten massive lodges exposed on the
mountain side fairly blaze in many
spots from the CLINT of shining gold
particles, dazzling the eye. A towering
cliff overhangs the leads and large
gulch below is choked with boulders OF
ore sloughed from the heights. These
chunks OF gold laden rock, Romney
declares, range from the size of hazel
nut to masses as large as dwelling
houses. Enough gold ore is in sight.
he says, to run a thousand stamps

W. ID. Gross, Denver mining ax-

Washington, Oct. z4.--The disclcs-
ure Of the operations Of the land graft
ing in Oregon, California and Wash
ington, brings out what appears to be
the true reason why temporary with
drawals OF vast areas "for forest re-
serve purposes" have been made in
these three states on very slight show
ing Of justification for withholding
such enormous tracts Of vacant lands
from entry. Chief Clifford Pinehot, Of
the bureau Of forestry, as we'll as other
officials, state that only minor part
OF the lands now withdrawn will ever
be converted into forest reserves. In
some cases, practically The entire with
drawals will ultimately be restored TO
entry.
There appear to have been two
prime reasons for withdrawing these
lands, and in many cases the more i'm
portant Of the two WAS to place the
valuable vacant public cumberland be-
yond the reach OF "se5ippers," specu-
lators and land grabbers. The only
way this could be done, while existing
laws continue in force, was by with
drawing the lands from entry and, Of
course, bonafide entr1men have to
suffer along with the land thieves.
As long as these lands can be kept in
withdrawal, under pretense OF exami-
nation to determine their desirability
for forest reserves, so long will the
public timber be protected.
In the meantime, the interior de-
partment, with the full sanction and
approval of the administration, is pne-
pairing to put in hard wister's work
before congress, in an effort to secure
remedial public land legislation, such
as the repeal of the timber and stone
act, the desert land law. and commu-
tation clause OF the homestead act,
but more than all else, the repeal of
the forest reserve lieu land law, which
is responsible for many Of the frauds
that have been perpetrated by the land
grant ring.
