DEAD LIST NOW EIGHTY-FouR.
Last Eden Wreck Victim is a District
Man,

PUEBLO, Col, August 25-Two more
bodies OF victims of the Eden wreck have
been recovered. one being the remains OF
Ray w. OBannon Of Washington. ID. q.
The body was found several miles down
the Arkansas river. One body has been
found twelve miles down the river but has
not yet been Identified.
The finding of OBannon's body brings the
list of identified dead to eightyfour.
There is but one family bearing the name
OBannon in this city. The residence is at
1916 Corcoran street. Inquiries made there
this morning developed the fact that all
the members of the family out of the
city, but that no one by the name of Ray
w. O'Bannon similar name resides
there. An employe of the Southern rail-
way, who lives in the same house. said this
afternoon that he knew of no relative Of
that name. and believes there must be an
error in the address given in the dispatch.
The name O'Bannon is a rare one, and
usually it is said, some relationship may
be discovered among those bearing it, but
at present the man reported as found dead
in the Nebraska river cannot be connected
with the family In this city.

GIN. there has been much concern on the
part OF this Government as to the rights
the United States expects to obtain
through the Chinese-American commercial
treaty.
This has been. ratified by the United

most notable feature Is the provision for
the opening to world commerce of the
Manchurian ports of Mukden and An
Tung.
The State Department Is displeased with
the delay in. ratifying the treaty at Pekin.
What influences are delaying ratification
cannot be learned here. The State Depart
ment has expressly discredited sugges-
ton that Russian influence was responsible
for the delay.
In this connection It is pointed out to-
day by a diplomat of keenest observatory
powers and high standing, but who, on
account of the delicateness of the situa-
ton. must be nameless. that article xii of
the treaty provides for independent for
eign municipal government in the ports Of
Mukden and An-Trng.
This diplomat recalled what was well
known at the time, that the Russian Gov
ernment last spring emphatically stated.
through Count Cassini, the Russian AM
bassador here. that Russia considered all
Manchuria within her sphere of influence
and would never consent to the establish
