ACTION BY GERMANY
DEMANDS THE RETURN OF MAIL
SACKS SEIZED BY RUSSIAN
VOLUNTEER STEAMER.

Berlin, July 1S.-The German gov
eminent has taken a prompt and firm
stand in regard to the seizure OF the
mails Of the North German Lloyd
steamer Prinz Heinrich by the Rus
sian volunteer feet steamer Smolensk
July 10, having entered a protest
against the carrying of of the mails
and asking for a disavowal Of the
Smolensk's action and the return Of
the captured mail sacks.
The German government, the for
eign Office says, recognizes the right
to search mails when on board the
vessel itself, but claims the Smolensk
had no right 20 take of mails in bulk
from the vessel. The further argu-
ment is advanced that the right of
search can only be exercised by a
warship, whereas the Smolensk trav-
ersed the Dardanelles only recently
flying the Russian commercial flag,
not assuming the character of a war
ship. The German government has
not taken a positive stand on this last
point, but leaves the question for fu-
ture discussion and settlement.

TRAINS in COLLISION
EIGHTEEN PERSONS KILLED AND
FOUR SCORE INJURED AT
GLENWoop, Ill.

Chicago, July 14.-Eighteen persons
were killed and about four score Sc
riously injured in a collision between
a picnic train and a freight or the Chi
cage and Eastern Illinois railway at
Glenwood, twenty-three miles south
Of this city.
The excursion train carried the an
nual outing of the Doremus church Of
Chicago and was returning from Mo
mence, ILL.,, where the day had been
spent.
AS the train rounded a curve at a
speed of forty miles per hour the
freight was backing from the south
ward to the northward track.
The engineer set his brakes at once.
but it vas too late, and the passenger
crashed through the freight, complete
ly wrecking the passenger engine, bag
gage a and first coach. II vas in
the latter that the dead were.
The first coach of the picnic train
was smashed into a mass of kindling
and buried itself under the demolished
baggage car.
BIames Conductor of Freight.
Frederick De Witt, conductor Of the
picnic train, in a statement made at
the hospital, where he lies with a frac-
tured leg, places the blame on Con-
ductor Cooper OF the freight train.
Il had orders to run on a clear
track" he said, land vas obeying
them. The freight backed in OF my
track ahead of me-"
There was not a passenger on the
train who vas not badly shaken and
bruised.
Most of the dead and injured we're
children and the heart-rending scenes
beggar description.
Huge boniires, lighted to aid the res
cuers in their work, added to the awful
weirdness of the place and the cries
and groans Of the injured caused
strong men to break down.
AS in the case of the Slocum dis
aster the victims were nearly all from
n section of the city and in some
cases whole families are wiped out.
The dead and dying YER taken to
Chicago as soon as they could be re-
moved from the debris.

BRITISH PRESS ANGRY.
Adopts WarIike Tone In Discussing
Action of Russian Vessels.

Action OF Russian vessels.
London, July 20.-Once again the
leading English newspapers editorial
lie ia the gravest tones on the Rus
sian seizure of British vessels. Even
the conservative Standard declares
that "the nation looks to the foreign
office to take more ~effectual action
than the ordinary conventions OF diplo-
matte intercourse prescribe. The case
is not one for fastidious treatment. II
nothing is done officially to relieve the
painful strain, the irritation of this
country may grow into stubborn re-
sentiment. We cannot, even for the
sake of peace, sit down under q series
of undisguisedly provocative meas
ures."
No such bitter feeling has been
aroused In the English press since the
German emperor's telegram to the
Beers.
Interse apprehension prevails at
Cardiff and other British coal ports
and the chartering of vessels for the
far East Is practically at a standstill.
From ell sides come urgent de-
mands that the government take
swift action to prevent q recurrence
Of seizures by the volunteer feet.
"Rassian Piracy" as n paper heads
II, takes precedence Of all other news.

General Kuroki adds that the Rus

ed stubbornly, repulsed the Russians
and pursued them for a considerable
distance westward. Kuroki in his re-
port praises the valor of his men.

They suffered as great a loss, If not
greater, in returning along the route
of their advance than in the standing
fight in the mountains.

LETTER IN A BOTTLE
FOR TWO YEARS IT TRAvERsED
 THE GULF.
Pensacola's Contribution to Survivors | / of the Accident on the battle
 ship Maine is $1,1oo. News of Florida City.

Pensacola, Fla, May 4.-(special.)--- U. Hossleton of this city has received from Ralph Clayton of Joplin, Mo, note which had been enclosed in a hot tie and cast into the Gulf of Mexico, in May, 1902, and which was picked up in March, 1904. The bottle had been drifting about in the gulf. going many miles, for two years. The note was accompanied by a letter from clayton, a portion of which Is as follows
 "While my brother and 1 were DICK ing up shells along tbe beach on Gaa- weston Island twelve miles west or the city of Galveston, the bottle was found by myself about 200 yards back rom the water, Monday, March !, 1904. broke the bottle and read note, which was stained and smencd very strongly of the contents of the bottle, which made me think that 1t had not been there long, and I withheld the facts concerning where 1t was found. as very often such things are thrown into the water with fictitious notes and names ID the bottle. I live in Joplin. Mo. but as I wanted little rest, have been spending the winter in the South.
 Mir. Hossleton was on the hsh'1g schooner Matte and George when the thought struck him to drop bottle lnI' the water. He did SD and had almost forgotten the occurrence when the let ter from Mir Clayton reached him a few days ago.

Family Drugeed and Robbed.

Some time ago. 1t Is sale. the home Of D. V. Daley, inspector of naval stores at Goulding was robbed, and although the place has been visited for several days the members of the family are yet feeling the effects of the occur renee. Between $30 and $40 were taken. and the family was drugged for the accomplishment of this deed.
 The family of Daley were asleep when a thief entered the home. Ac- cording to report, entrance was suc- cessfully effected through a window and the thief proceeded to help him self to all things within reach. A trunk, securely locked. came under his observation. and this was tackled. Af- ter the drugs had been administered, the thief placed the trunk on hls shoulder and carried 1t into the yard There he broke 1t open and the con- tents of value were taken The family remained for some hours in helpless condition, and when finally recovered 1t was some time before they could realize what had happened. They arc all yet not over the effects of the drugs.
