letter from Springvale which states
that on Wednesday of last week four
salmon were taken in Long pond. that
town. weighing three, four, five and
nine pounds respectively. A three
and-a-half pound square tail was also
taken the same day. The same letter
states that at the present time there
are hut few anglers at the pend and
but little fishing has been done since
the ice left Mr.. Carleton was much
pleased to receive this letter. as it
seemed to be very good proof that fish
would live and thrive in Long pond. as
up to a few years ago, when the cont
missioners put in some salmon fry,
there were no salmon in the pond.

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

Berlin, July 18.-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 fleet steamer Smolensk
July 10, having entered a protest
against the carrying off of the mails
and asking for a disavowal of the
Smolensk's action and the return OF
che 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 to take off 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 flu.
ture discussion and settlement.

HEAVY LOSS BY FIRE
FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL
LARS WORTH OF PROPERTY
DESTROYED.

Duluth, July 16.-Four hundred
thousand dollars worth of property
was destroyed Friday afternoon at the
Omaha dock and warehouse owned by
the Chicago. st. Paul. Minneapolis and
Omaha railway, and one man. a cook,
named George Smith. on the tug Abb
bolt, was drowned in an attempt to
make his escape from the craft as the
flames swept over it with cyclonic
rapidity from the docks.
The fire started in the northeast
corner of the building and swept
through the long sheds like a tornado,
taking everything that stood in its
path. In three minutes after the
flames were discovered almost the en-
tire line of sheds was fiery furnace,
belching forth volumes of dense, black
smoke that rolled away over the city,
crumbling the freight cars that stood
beside it like finder.
It was the most disastrous fire wit
messed in Duluth in years, and the
most spectacular. Thousands of peo-
pie lined the docks, the viaducts, the
tops of box cars and the sides of the
hill to witness the fiery monster de-
vouring thousands and thousands Of
dollars worth of property.

INJUNCTION GRANTED
THE PRO RATA DISTRIBUTION
OF NORTHERN SECURITIES
STOCK EN1e'NEo.

Trenton. N. J.. July 16.-Judge Brad.
ford has granted preliminary in
junction in the suit brought by Ed.
ward H. Hartman, Winslow S. Pierce
and others to restrain the proposed
pro rata distribution of the assets OF
the Northern Securities company. This
is defeat for the Hill interests.
The decision of Judge Bradford does
not dispose of the main points at is
sue in the case, which were whether
or not Hartman and Pierce should
have returned to them the stock Of
the Northern Pacific company which
they put into the Northern Securities
company or whether they should have
distributed to them the stock of both
the Northern Pacific and Great North.
ern companies on the pro rata basis
provided for by the directors of the
Northern Securities company.
The litigation turned largely on the
question as to the title of the North.
ern Pacific stock which E. H. Harri.
man and Winslow S. Pierce put into
the combination and which amounted
to about $79,O00,000. The contention
OF the Northern Securities company
was that the stock had become the alb.
solute property OF that company and
that 1t was perfectly legal for the
Northern Securities company to carry
out the pro rata plan of distribution
upon which the company had agreed.
Hartman contended that by reason Of
the corporation being declared illegal
by the United States supreme court
the title had not passed from Harri.
man and Pierce and in consequence
they were entitled to have returned to
them the particular stock they had
put into the combination and which
involved control of the Northern Pa.
ciflc company.

TRAINS IN COLLISION
EIGHTEEN PERSONS KILLED ANu
FOUR SCORE INJURED At
GLENwooD, Ill.

Chicago. July 14.-Eighteen persons
were killed and about four score Sc
riously injured in a collision between
a picnic train and freight on the Chi
cago 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 curve at q
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 was too late, and the passenger
crashed through the freight, complete
ly wrecking the passenger engine. bag
gage car and first coach. It was in
the latter that the dead were.
The first coach of the picnic train
and buried itself under the demolished
baggage car.

Frederick De Witt. conductor of the
picnic train. in statement made at
the hospital. where he lies with frac-
tured leg, places the blame on Con-
ductor Cooper of the freight train.
II had orders to run on a clear
track" he said. land was obeying
them. The freight backed in on my
track ahead of me-"
There was not a passenger on the
train who was not badly shaken and
bruised.
Most of the dead and injured were
children and the heart-rending scenes
beggar description.
Huge bonfires, 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
one section of the city and in some
cases whole families are wiped out
The dead and dying were taken to
Chicago as soon as they could be re.
moved from the debris.

ANOTHER EFFORT WILL sE MADE
TO sND THE STRIKE IN THE
PACKING INDUSTRY.
EMPLOYERS ASKED TO coNcEpE
TO THE MEN THE ONE POINT
IN CONTENTION.
STRIKERS IN CONTROL At SOUTH
81. PAUL AND STATE TROOPS
ARE REQUESTED.

Chicago. July 19.-One more effort
will be made to settle the stock yards
strike by arbitration. President Don
nelly Of the striking unions will today
send to the packers another letter ask
ing for a conference. In this lettel
Mr.. Donnelly will go over the history
of the strike, and will ask the packers
IL in their judgment it will not be bet
ter to concede the one point in conten
ton than to continue the strike. The
one point to which allusion is to be
made, is the refusal of the packers to
discharge the men they have employed
since the commencement of the strike
and give their places to the men who
walked out.
The communication to the packers
will also suggest that it is the belief
of the strikers that they are, as old
employees. deserving of this considera'
ton. If this offer of the union is re
jected by the packers, Mr.. Donnelly
declared last night, the allied trades
at the stock yards, numbering in all
about $4,000 men, will be called out
today in an effort to bring the pack
ers to terms.
Joseph Morton of the stationary
f1remen's union called on the packers
Monday afternoon and notified them
that unless there is speedy settle
ment of the strike his men will be
compelled to quit work. While nc
definite answer was given Mr.. Morton
by the packers he was received by
them in such friendly manner that
he left the conference with the belief
that there is still strong probability
of peace, and the determination of Mr.
Donnelly to once more open negotia'
lions with the packers was the result
Of the manner in which Mr.. Morton
was received by them.
Operating Forces Increased.
According to representatives of the
packers. the operating forces at the
plants Monday were about one-hal1
the normal strength, being fully Sc
per cent larger than last Saturday
All the plants, 1t was claimed, did q
great deal of killing and there was also
decided increase in the amount OF
dressed meats shipped out of the city
From the strikers side came the
statement that Independent plants are
doing all the work and that the big
plants are not doing per cent OF
their normal business.

opinion of Inspector Hunt, were in

Fail to Get Through Picket Line at
South st. Paul.
St. Paul, July 19.-The South st.
Paul strike situation opened Monday
with every indication of trouble, and
closed quiet and serene, except for
the fact that many of the union men
were highly displeased with the &C.
ton of their president in abolishing
the blockade features Of the pickets
after comforting with Governor Van
SAINT
When the nonunionists arrived on
the motors. they faced by. far the
strongest picket line seen during the
strike. About 500 men, reinforced by
fifteen women, blocked the roadway
leading to the entrance of Swift &
Co.'s plant, and, despite efforts to
break through the line, not nonunion
man passed into the plant until the
blockade was raised.
Sheriff Grisim confessed that he was
not able to handle the situation, and
Mayor Lyle failed to accomplish any
thing more than the delivering of an
address on the duties Of citizens.
There is every reason to believe
that the blockade will be continued
again today, and If the men act ON
their own initiative and are not sub.
ject to their officers, there is addition
al danger Of clash, as Superintendent
Burns says that It is the purpose to
take in nonuni0n men as fast as DOS.
