No Exequatur Awaits edward

HE CANNOT BE RECEIVED
United states informed that Political
Reasons stand In the Way-Ae-

A washington special says; secre
tary Hay has been informed that Ed

luatur by the Russian government au
thorizlng him to act as United States
consul at Dalny. Mr. Morgan Is now
IN his way from Washington to his
post. He will sail from San Francisco
and touch at Yokohama, Japan, at
which point the state department will

This decision on the part Of the Rus
sian government was not altogether
unexpected, but 1t is the subject OF
grave consideration by the state de-
partment officials, Secretary Hay re-
gardlng the matter of sufficient Inn
portance to warrant personal visit

1t is said the reasons assigned for
the declinatlon to receive Mr. Morgan
are entirely impersonal. In fact, Mr.,

sy at st. Petersburg, is very popular
with the Russian officials, who would
be glad to receive him as consul II po-
liticai consideration did not forbid. 1t
is explained that the reason for Rus.
sia's action is purely military; the ar.
my officers desiring that there shall be
no foreign officials on the Lao Tuns
peninsular during the progress Of hos
tilities.
They fear that they may not be able
to afford such officials a proper meas

II is also suggested that as the United
States consul would be- charged with
the responsibility for the protection
Of the japanese there would be many
chances for severe friction, which II
is desirable 10 avoid. But many things
may happen, 1t is pointed out, before
Mr.. Morgan arrives even at Japan,
which will determine the course of the
state department, and II is suggested
that there is possibility that tho Rus,

lastly refused to receive any consuls
at Dalny, and the only official the
United states has ever had there was
a commercial agent.
The announcement Is made that the
decision In Mr.. Morgans case does not
apply to the newly-appointed United
States consuls at Mukden and Antung.
These consulates are In Manchurla
and the state department, taking the
ground that that province is part OF
China. would apply to the Chinese
government for exequaturs for these
consuls, not recognizing the right OF
any other power to intervene.

The explosion was caused by col

II Is said, to the failure OF the air

The explosion was terrific. Every
thing within a radiua OF half mile
was wrecked. The town OF Terrace,
is miles to the north was shaken ~
though by an earthquake. Window
panes In the station at Colon, IL Mills
away, were shattered, ana the sound
Of the explosion was heard In Ogden

over q thousand feet, leaving q great
excavation 30 feet In depth, fragments
OF dozen freight cara and two en-.

OF the disaster came from Terrace, Is

A relief train with doctors. nurses
and stretchers was hurriedly dispatch.

The great loss OF life among the
