New Naval Base.

An expedition under charge Of the

summer at Kyska island, one of the most
remote Of the Aleutians, making the
preliminary surveys and other arrange
mcnts for the establishment of a naval
coaling station at Kyska harbor. This
harbor is excellent, and it is said that it
can be easily fortified. 1t is proposed
to make it base for the operations Of
the Pacific fleet Kyska, which Is in
longitude TT east, is much nearer Japan
and Siberia than it is to our mainland
south of Alaska No foreign military
officers have been allowed to visit the
place, and Americans know little of the

A DOUBLE SUICIDE.
Young Girls, Tilted by Their Sweet
hearts, Take Poison and Die
Together.

Kankakee, ILL.,, Oct. 11.-Lulu Cook,
aged Is, and Minnie I1and, aged 49,,
Tilted by the two young men who for
q time had been attentive to them, and
fearful of 'ridicule from the town Cos
sips, committed suicide together by poi
son. The two girls went about prepar-
ing to die with a great deal of DELHI
Grafton and care for details and dra-
matte effect. They wrote many letters,
made their wills, and did many other
little things that showed how much
Importance they placed upon what they
believed to be public opinion in the
little town of Buckingham, in which
they were known to everybody.
The two girls killed themselves with
strychnine in the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Cook, the parents of Lulu
Cook, the younger of the two girls. The
young men, or rather boys, in the case
are James Ifland, brother of one of
the suicides, and Henry Ferden, who
had been calling upon Miss Ifiand. The
boys declare they had no intention of
wounding the feelings of the girls, and
say they knew nothing of the suicide
compact.

COLLISION KILLED MANY
TRAINS ARE WRECKED NEAR
WARRENsBURG, MO.
Twenty-Five Passengers Are Killed
and Sixty or More Are
Injured.

Warrensburg. Mo-, Oct 11.-Twenty-
nine persons were killed and 60 in
jured by a collision of Missouri Pacific
trains three miles east of Warrensburg
at four o'clock Monday morning.
The trains were the second section of
passenger train No. 80, which left
Wichita. Kan, for ST. Louis Sunday
night and an extra freight train. The
dead are in undertaking rooms in this
city and most of the wounded are in
the railroad hospital in Sedalia, Mo-
The freight train was an extra. Its
crew had, according to the story of the
conductor of this train. been instructed
to take a siding and let the passenger
train pass. The first section of the pas
senger train had gone by when the
freight pulled out. The passenger train
bore no signal of second section to conc.
he asserts. and he had no reason to be-
lieve that another train was due. The
scene of the wreck was on the down.
grade, on either Size Of which there was
a steep rise. Both trains had put on
extra steam to carry them up the oppo-
site hill, and when they met at the curve
at the lowest point they were running
at terrific rate
The passenger train was made up of
three coaches and Pullman, with no
baggage car the front coach being next
to the tender. The freight train was
heavy one When the trains met the
heavy freight train pushed the passen-
ger engine back into the first coach.
The tender of the passenger engine lit
orally cut the coach in two in the Gen.
ter and never stopped until it had plowed
itself half way through the car and its
passengers. killing those in the forward
end instantly, and mangling all within
reach in a most horrible manner.
Half a dozen who were not killed out
right were so terribly injured that they
died before they could be removed from
the debris Many of the dead were al
most unrecognizable. Arms and legs
were dismembered IN several cases and,
together with baggage and pieces of
wreckage. were tumbled together into a
confused mass of bleeding human forms

WATSON WRlTES:LETTER.
Accepts Nomination rendered by Peo-
pies Party-synopsis of the
Document.

Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 11.-Thomas
Z. Watson's letter formally accepting
the populist nomination for president
was made public Sunday. The letter,
which is addressed to Samuel w. Will
liams, chairman OF the committee on
notification, is about 12,500 words long.
The letter opens with lament by
Mr.. Watson over the tendency of hu-
manity to submit TO the domination of
a few, who use their power for OPP
preston. Passing from historical ex-
amples TO the condition of things now
in the United States, he finds "symp-
toms which always have characterized
the diseased nation when afflicted by
class legislation" The corporations,
according to Mr.. Watson, now rule the
land and the people.
The only hope for the middle and
lower classes" as Mr.. Watson terms
them, he sees is the rise and growth TO
success OF third party, not subject to
corporation domination. Constructiyely,
he proposes national board of arbi-
tration to pass upon disputes between
capital and labor, the adoption of the
initiative and referendum for the MAX
OF public utilities.
The question of class legislation was
discussed. the national banking and
transportation systems being held up
as shining examples in this respect.
The inevitable outgrowth of these sys.
tens, he declared, was the building up
OF colossal fortunes at the expense OF
the people.
Attacking the gold standard, the can
didate says: THE gold standard is not
'irrevocably fixed" because it is un.
scientific and wrong Nothing is more
certain than that the people of this
country will continue their struggle un.
Til they have a national currency which
the money power cannot control, and
which answers the purpose of perfect
ing exchanges without becoming an
armory from which the buccaneers OF
modern finance draw the irresistible
weapons with which they attack values
and raid the markets."
William Jennings Bryan, Mr.. Watson
declares, was leader like jefferson,
Jackson and Stephen A. Douglas, and he
cries out: Would to God that Mr..
Bryan were with me in this, the second
battle! Together we could have whipped
the fight in 1896. but the southern demo-
cratic bosses would not have it So"
Mr. Watson closes his letter with the
charge that if men who deem him to be
right fail to vote for him they are moral
towards" He therefore relied upon all
who love their country and care to see
its sacred institutions preserved to cast
their vote for him as the representative
of the only party pledged to carry out
the will of the people of the nation.

FIRE COSTS 100000.
Three Fine Business Blocks in the
City of Winnipeg, Man, Are
Destroyed.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct ia special to
the Pioneer Press from Winnipeg, Man,
says: Fire Tuesday night destroyed
three of the finest business blocks in
this city, entailing loss of at least
100000. For time the flames threat
ened to spread to adjoining buildings
and but for the splendid work of the
fire brigade much larger money dam
age would have been incurred. The fire
started in the new Bullman block, which
was totally destroyed The Ashdown
Hardware company, on Bannatyne
street, one of the largest establishments
of its kind in Canada, was next attacked
by the flames. Many explosions were
caused by powder and cartridges carried
in the stock of the hardware company,
but no one was injured. The Rialto
block and the Great Northwestern Tel
egraph Office also were destroyed. The
Woodbine hotel block and Dufferin
block were also badly damaged The
chief sufferers in those blocks are the
Slater Shoe company, and Gundy Music
company, Calders' photograph supplies,
Ravers stationery stock and Connolly
drugs. The electric light and power
service were all cut off owing to the
fire, and all newspaper offices are in
darkness The Free Press office in the
rear of the Bullman block escaped in
jury.
The pullman block, where the fire
started, is six-story building just COM
pleted and occupied by pullman Bros,
printers and photographers. The fire
started among some shavings in the
basement, spread up the elevator shaft
and in ten minutes the entire interior of
the building was in flames. From the
pullman building the flames leaped to
the Ashdown store, which occupies the
entire block on Bannatyne street be-
tween Main and Albert streets. The in
f1ammable material in the stock of the
hardware company caused the flames to
burn fiercely and to spread with great
rap1dity in northerly direction toward
the Rialto block.
