HURLED TO DEATH.
Great Crane Gives Way and Twelve Men

PittsbuFg. Oct. 2l.-By the breaking
OF the ropes carrying five beams to their
position, letting many toas OF iron fall
upon the movable crane at the Pitts.
burg end OF the new Wabash railroad
bridge being built by the American
Bridge company over the Monongahela
river, almost q dozen workmen were
hurled TO death by fall Of more than
100 feet, striking the water and two

been recovered. Five men were SER
lousy injured. Several bodies are yet
buried in tie wreckage. The part OF
the bridge extending out over the river
from the Water street side is total

The accident was caused by the Civ
ing away of two-inch steel cable
which was used as one Of the guys to
support the big crane. This cable was
tested to bear strain OF 100 tons, and
II IL said Il did not break, but pulled
loose from its fastenings. There were

FOR FIRST MOVE
Russia Waiting for Developments
In japanese Policy.
Destination Usknc~n, but Several Ships
Probably Cruising OF The Coast -
corss-fssrs NO Other Nation.

Pekin, Oct, Fl Like other cities in
the far east, Pekin is perplexed by the
reports from tine various points OF
events portendIng Russo-Japanese
war. Most Of these reports on inyesti-
CATION prove to be unfounded. The
opinion prevails here that Russia pro-
poses TO hold all she has gained In
Manchnria, and refrain for the present
from further advances into Corea. 1t
il also believed that Russia il convinced
that no nation, except japan, thinks Of
contrasting her position, and, having
assembled fleet and army which she
considers strong enough TO repel arr
Japanese attack, she is awaiting devel-
opments ia Japan'r policy.
The majority Of the Russian ships
have left Port Arthur since the man
euyers for an unknown destination, but
IL II supposed that some OF them are
cruising ON the shores OF Corca, watch
ing Ma-San-Pho and other ports.
The japanese ships whose presence
at Ma-san-Pho caused the report that
japan had occupied that port have
sailed, probably in the direction Of
Saseho, Japan.

MITE TO CANADA.


London, Oct. 20 The Alaskan boun-
dairy commission has verbally agreed To
grant ali the American contentious ex-
cept that Of the Portland canal, which
goes to Canada. The formal agreement
is being drawn up.
The successful termination OF arbitra-
lion came as a complete surprise to all
interested in the case, except perhaps
the commissioners themselves.
No hitch occurred during the entire
deliberations, and as these progressed
the confidence OF the American commits
sionera that decision substantially
unfolding the American claims would
be given, increased; but it was admit
ted IL would be necessary to agree TO a
compromise on the Portland canal.
The only disquieting feature for the
during the last few days had
been vague idea that Chief Justice
AIverstone, even if he concluded to take
the American view, might be unwilling
to 20 on record with decision to take
effect, and disagreement wss not un-
likely.
All that now remains to be done is
for the commissioners to aifix their sig
natures TO the decision and complete
the map which will accompany it. On
the map will be marked the boundary
line, definitely fixing the division Of
American and British territory on such
A basis that no American citizen will

he held, while the United States will
get all the waterways to the rich Alas
kan territory with the exception of the
Portland canal.
Whether Messrs. Aylesworth and
Jette, the Canadian commissioners, viii
sign the decision and make it unani-
nous is not known, but it will not
affect the validity of the agreement If a
report is submitted The

Entire Business Portion Of aberdeen II
DESTROYED BY Fire.

( Aberdeen, Oct. l7.-seven solid
blocks, embracing every business house
Of prominence in Aberdeen, large
number OF dwellings, the opera house,
the central school building, the Edison
and Olympus theatres, the Crescent
hotel, the new fire department head
quarters, the council chambers, the fire
alarm system, every law Office, and q
hospital--all were included in q dis
trict covered by q fire which started
yesterday in the Mack block on Hume
street. The loss is estimated At not
less than 81 900 900, and the insurance
is not more than one-third.
There were four fatalities from fall
ing walls and snffocation and five other
persons were slightly injured. All the
buildings burned, except the Kaufman
block, we're Of wood, and only vacant
areas Of land here and there prevented
the entire town from being fuel for the
flames.
The fire started in the Mack block, a
three story structure, occupied by i'm
poverished bachelors, who cooked their
meals on small oil stoves. In one of
these rooms blaze was seen but be-
fore the department got to work the in
terror was mass of flames. Two lives
were lost in the building.
The lack Of sufficient hose and the
failure of the big new engine to work
properly kept the fire department from
saving property and dynamite was used
at several points to stop the progress of
the fire.
The arrival c. the departments Of
Montesano and Hoquiam and large
corps of volunteers from each place
helped materially in getting the fire
under control. The fortunate circum-
stance OF the fire is that no mill prop
erty was burned and no one is thrown
out of employment, except store clerks
and this will be but temporarily.
While the fire will be severely felt
by all business men it is looked upon
in one sense as being suspicious for
the future of the city as the council
will establish fire district and permit
only the erection Of brick and stone
buildings.

Chief of detectives McFetridge, of st.
Paul, in charge of the Northern Pacific

WILL RIsH TO A MAN.
People OF kussia Ready to Uphold the
Gear In the Far East.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 20.-While ex-
pressing the hope of peaceful issue of
the far Eastern crisis, the Novoe Vrem-
va points out that if war breaks out,
the Russians will rise as one man at
the call of the car, and there can be
no doubt regarding the ultimate issue.
The Novoe Vremya asserts that the
Japanese belief that Viceroy Alexieff
represents the Russian war party is
quite erroneous, adding:
while the viceroy has been given
extensive administrative powers, he is
only the executor OF the orders of the
car in matters of foreign policy. One
OF the csa,'s chief aims, the mainten-
ance OF peace, is the fundamental basis
Of Russian policy in the far East.
This has been modified since the
institution of the viceroyalty, and the
holder of the post cannot depart from
the very clearly defined policy of the
Russian government which has no other
object than the peaceful prosperity OF
the satte."

CANADA IS MUCH DowncAsr.
Portland Canal Concession Is Little Bet
ter Than None at All.

Ottawa, Ont, Oct. 20.-The Canadian
government has not yet received the
official notice of the reported decision
in the Alaskan boundary matter. II
the decision is as reported, namely,
that Portland canal is to remain in
Canadian territory, there is a feeling in
official circles that the Dominion has
not much to be thankful for. Canada,
in holding the Portland canal retains
Wales and Pearse islands, which over
lock Port Simpson, the proposed term
mus OF the Grand Trunk Pacific. 1t
would be inconvenient to have lost
these islands, but as they were clearly
marked on Vancouvers map as being
in Canada, it is difficult TO see how this
could have been done.
As the. government has no official in
formation, none of the ministers will
speak on the subject for publication.
North of Port Simpson, Canada will
have no harbor and no outlet OH the
Pacific coast from the Yukon goldfelds.
