NORTHERN PAcAFlc WRECK.
Through Traffic Delayed to the West
For Many Hours.

This forenoon the first of the regu-
lar Northern Pacific trains to arrive
from the west since Saturday night
put in it's appearance. Yesterday
mornings Burlington was the last to
appear subsequent to No. 4, eastbound,
Saturday. The cause of the tempor-
ary suspension OF traffic was an acci-
dent shat befell the North Coast Linn
tied following.
AT point in Washington the track
was being repaired. When the train
arrived the earth had not been suf-
ficiently tamped and several cars left
the rails. The mishap occurred in
deep cut and number of the track
men were caught between the bank
and the cars. One was SO badly in-
jured that it was said he would not
recover. Several passengers were
also injured, but none seriously, as
they were able to continue their jour
ney, sustaining injuries no more se-
we're than cut faces and slightly
bruised bodies.

"DAY IN JAPAN"
Billings Woman's Club Enjoying
Pleasing Novel Social Event.

Billings Woman's Club Enjoying
Pleasing Novel Social Event.
Instead of shelves filed with books
and the piles of magazines and refer
ence works usually to be seen there,
the assembly room of the public Ii
brary presents more inviting appear
ance this afternoon, even though the
surroundings are more suggestive OF
mirth and sociability and the air is
less profound of printed wisdom and
knowledge. For the time being the
place is in charge of the Billings
Woman's club and the members are
giving themselves up to the pleasures
to be derived from the novelty OF a
Japanese social Very properly the
event is termed "a Day in Japan"
Everything suggests the land of the
chrysanthemum. The decorations are
Japanese, the 4 refreshments served
are as nearly the same as it is pos
sible for an occidental appetite to
relish and to complete the illusion,
the ladies are all attired in kimonos,
have their hair dressed la Yeddo and
the fan is ubiquity itself.
Chairs have peen provided, for the
ladies could not quite bring them
selves to the point of reclining on
rugs spread on the floor, preferring
to adhere in that regard to their
western training. Exception is made,
however, in the case of the reception
and refreshment committees. These
discharge their functions after the
manner OF Japanese hostesses and
are seated on the floor. The guests
are met at the door by Mrs. Sherman
and Miss Palton and escorted lnIC
the presence OF the ladies awaiting to
receive them.
i The room has been beautifully ant
artistically decorated with banners
paper lanters, potted plants and pic
lures. All the windows have beel
darkened and the interior is softly II
Illuminated with numerous coloret
/ lights. Red and yellow is the colo
scheme and is carried out in draperle
and finishing throughout.

DEFECT IN A BATTLEsHiP.
Biunder Due to the Specifications Of
the Navy Department.

San Francisco, Oct. 3O.-The Chron-
icle today says:
''Naval officers have succeeded for
many months in keeping secret pc
culiar structural feature of the new
battleship Ohio, which, in the opin-
ions of themselves as well as others,
is nothing else than a glaring defect.
OF nature so serious that, as one Of
ficer expressed it, amounts to an in
vitation to an enemy to do the vessal
enormous damage in action. The de-
feet consists of omitting to put ar
mour around the after end of the su-
perstructure, within which are
mounted ten 6-inch rapid-tire guns
This omission, it is held, makes the
war vessel dangerously vulnerable in
vital part to hostile shots coming
from the upper quarter.
Furthermore, shells entering this
place might do great damage to the
engine room, the hatch OF which Is
well aft, inside the casemate armor,
and a shell bursting inside the case

CONFERENCE AT THE HAGUE.
Secretary Hay Carries Out Instruc.
tions Of the President.

Washington, Oct. 3O.-In circular
note, Secretary Hay has carried out
the presidents instructions relative
to proposing second Hague confer
ence. The note not only contemplates
the reassembling of The Hague con-
ference for the consideration OF ques-
tions specifically mentioned by the
original conference as demanding fur
ther attention, such as the rights and
duties of neutrals, the inviolability OF
private property in naval warfare, and
the bombardment sof, ports by naval
forces, but goes further by practically
indorsing the project of general
system of arbitration treaties, and the
establishment of an international con.
gress to meet periodically in the inter
est of peace. The issue of the call
while the present war is in progress
is justified by the fact that the tlrst
Hague conference was called before
our treaty of peace with Spain was
concluded.

TWENTy-cENT WOOL.
Wyoming Flockmasters Expect to See
1t Next Season.

\ \Twenty-cent wool is what the Wy
OilAlnS 4.OcAmasLerS are hooking IOr
next season. some Oh lnem are OIL the
beIlet that even better Lnan Inls Wlll
be paid by fully two and three cents
a pound.
The reason for this anticipated ex-
ceptlonal value Is based upon the lree-
dom with which contracts are already
being closed tor the 1860 clip. Re
cent advlces from the central portions
OF Lne state are to the effect that not
a rev eastern buyers are III the tieiu
and contracting at prices from TWO to
six cents above those paid this year.
Offers of Is to IL cents were made
from the start, but many to whom
they were made are holding of, con.
fident that by doing so they will be
able to do better. Numerous contracts
are said to have been closed at II
and 18 cents, as against l2h to IA
cents, the ruling prices this year.
Seemingly no one is attempting a
corner, as all of the old firms have
their representatives in the field, in
addition to which there also are many
new ones. Judging by the eagerness
displaying by the buyers it is gener-
ally regarded as certain that long be-
fore it leaves the sleeps back the
1905 clip will have been sold. They
maintain absolute silence as regards
the cause of their anxiety to buy in
advance and take chances on the mar
ket going right next year. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that because OF the
high price of cotton the demand for
wool will increase, while the war in
the east and the rumors of war are
also regarded as having an effect on
the market.

MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.
FIGHTING NEAR MukDEN
Lines Are Close Together and Several
Positions Change Hands
Many Times.

Che Foo, Oct. 80, $3.50 p. m.-The
third general attack on Port Arthur
began October "a, according to unim-
peachable authority. On October IS
Japanese shells set fire to the only
smokeless powder magazine in Port
Arthur. Portions of the town caught
fire, the confagration continuing the
whole day. On October 26 also the
Japanese captured the Russian
trenches on the slope OF Rihlung
mountain, also fortified position pro-
tecting that fortress. The Japanese
consider the progress OF the siege to
be highly satisfactory.

The Peoples Choice for County
Long before the republican county
convention was held IN this city last
August, Henry White, The nominee on
the ticket for the ot11ce OF county
treasurer, was solicited by leading
taxpayers to become candidate for
that Office. Under one condition
would Mr.. White allow his name to
go before the convention and that
condition was that the convention
adopt a plank in the republican plat
form that ii there was any interest
paid on cash balances in his hands, it
elected, that the same be placed to the
credit OF Yellowstone county.
Mr.. White was nominated with that
understanding by the republicans,
and the following plank was inserted
in the platform pledging the candi-
date on the republican ticket, IT
elected, not to use the public funds OF
the county for personal gain:
FOR Benefit OF TAXPAYERS.
1--WE are opposed to the use Of pub.
lie money for private gain, and we be.
Iieve in the use of the funds Of the
county and state in such manner that
the interest thereon shall be for the
benefit of the taxpayers, and not for
the private gain Of the officer in con.
troll
| Mr. White not only stands squarely
upon the foregoing plank of the repub.
lican county platform, but will abide
and defend the constitution OF the
state upon the subject, which says:
Article Kill, Sec. II, Constitution Of
4 Montana.
"The making Of profit out Of public
moneys, or using the same for any
purpose not authorized by law, by
any public officer, shall be deemed q
felony, and shall be punished as pro
vided by law, but part Of such pun
ishment shall be disqualification tc
hold office"
To show that Mr.. White knows thai
it is an illegal transaction to barter
! in public funds and to show that he
stands squarely with the interests OF
the taxpayers in the contest now be
ing waged in the county for the cleo
ton of a county treasurer, he today
addressed the following communica
ton to The Gazette requesting its
\ publication:
