 The fcotbridge, which was a very mar rcw structure, was packed when the crash came. The river is about forty feet wide at this point and about ten feet deep. The current is very pow erful, the stream having been swollen by the rapid melting of snow in, the mountains
 Men have been p1trolling the stream for many miles below the city since, in the hope of fsld.iS the missing bodies. Wire netting has been stretched across the river at Wellsvile, six miles below Salida, and it is thought the bodies will probably be swept into the netting to- night. The people Of Howard, twelve miles east were wired to keep a close watch tonight in an effort to intercept the lost bodies.
 The greatest excitement prevails in the city and the patrolling of the stream still continues. A night watch has been put on duty and the search will continue until morning. Ii may require several days before it is definitely known how many lives were lost.

Most Absorbing Topic Just Now in St. Petersburg
IF THE STORY Is TRUE
Russian Sentiment Has Received a Harder Blow Than the Loss of Kin Chou-Depends Upon Which Cos sack Command Has Suffered.

St. Petersburg, May 3O.-The re- ported defeat of the Cossacks at Ali Yang Pien Men was the only news re- ceived and almost the only topic of conversation in St. Petersburg last night. No official dispatches were given out last night, but officers at the military headquarters were re- luctant to accept the Japanese dis patches. They think it possible that the Japanese met General Mistchenko's s command which has recently been raiding in Korea. It is formed of com paratively raw recruits, though now somewhat hardened by three months campaigning.
 It is conceivable that they might have been defeated, but not Rennenkampf's S force patroling the Ali Yang region who are veterans of that old command, which accompanied him on the famous ride through Manchuria. These men are esteemed here as the hardest riders and most reckless fighters in the trans Baikal army. Any disaster to them would have a greater sentimental effect than the reverse at Kin Chou.

AND VATICAN
The Latter Denounced for Protesting
 Against Reception of Loubet.

Rome, May 3O.-The chamber of dep uties was crowded today to hear the discussion of the attitude of the govern ment toward the vatican's protest against President Loubet's visit. Sig nor Mazza, republican. called the note of the papal secretary of state, Merry del Val, a perfect insult. He recalled that the pope had not protested against the atrociCus offenses to religion in France. His holiness had now risen against the king, who, according to the vatican, had stolen pontificial pat rimony, designating his majesty as a usurper. The note, therefore, was a declaration of war.
 Signor MazZa asked the government to take energetic action to prevent in vasion by the church into She kin ngdom's affairs. The government had forgotten all pride and national dignity in an swering the vatican insult by giving hospitality to Cardinal Svampa, when the king on Saturday went to Bologna. The government permitted the people of France to defend civilian rights.
 The liberals applauded and the gall Ierics joined. Signor Guerci. radical, followed saying that "this time the Vat ican is not protesting, but bleating." Signor Cabrins, socialist, interrrpting: "Call 1t praying"

FLOWERS ON THE WATER.

Chicago. May 3O.-In spite of decid- edly uncomfortable weather the ceme- teries in which Chicago honored it's dead heroes of the civil war were car ried out faithfully today.
 The morning hours were set apart for the decoration of the graves by posts of veterans aided by their wives and daughters. This was followed by the annual parade of the soldiers of 1861. As a tribute to the sailors and soldiers who died at sea the survivors of the posts of naval veterans marched to the edge of the lake at Grant park and amid appropriate ceremonies strewed flowers upon the water.
 In Oakwood, the resting spots of con- federate soldiers who are buried in Chicago were not neglected, while the old soldiers at all the cemeteries arm in arm, their wives and widows of their former comrades who are band ed together in woman's relief corps. Sons and daughters of veterans accom- panied their elders in their memorial paradeS.

HIS DEADLY BURDEN
Mayor MCLane of BaIti.
 more Shielded
Assiduous Work Resultant From the Late Fire, and Political Opposition the Supposed Causes.

Baltimore. Md, May 30.-Mayor Rob- ert M. McLane, of this city, shot and killed himself thIs afternoon in his bedroom at his residence 29 West Pres ton street. His bride of less than two weeks was at the time of the tragedy asleep in an adjoining room, and was awakened by the discharge of the re- volver. which McLane evidently fired while standing before the mirror of a dressing case. The bullet entered the right temple and crashing through the head, escaped in the rear of the left ear. Mrs. McLane and other members of the household rushed to the mayors as- sistance. but he did not regain con- sciousness after he fell to the floor, and expired within an hour. A number of physicians who were Immediately summoned expressed an opinion that the wound was fatal. No cause for the act can be assigned by members of Me- Hane's family.
 Since the fire of last February he has been kept assiduously at work admin istering the affairs of the city, beside endeavoring to direct the rehabilitation of the burned district. This, together with the criticisms of his politic-l op- ponents, are thought by many 10 have caused temporary alteration of mind. Coroner Hayden signed certificate. giving suicide as the cause of death and the remains were turned over to an undertaking firm to be prepared for burial. Mayor McLane was elected as a democrat to the office of chief magistrate of the municipality in May of last year, for a term of four years. He was thirty-six years of age, the youngest chief executive Baltimore ever had. He was son of James l.. Me- Lane, president of the First National bank, and nephew of Robert NJ. Me- Lane, former governor of Maryland and United States minister to France dur ing President Cleveland's first admin istration.
 Previous to his election as mayor, he had for four years filled Ire office of states attorney. in which he had dis. tinguished himself by a zealous and in- telligent discharge of his duties. Dur ing his brief administration of the may orally office he had brought upon hiIc- self the antagonism of the regular dem- oCratic organization by the appointment of independent members of the party Recently there has been marked oppo- sition to him by the democratic mem | bers of the city council in matters re- tating to the rebuilding of Baltimore and this is ascribed by many as a con- tributory cause of the suicide.
 1 Mayor McIanc was Dlarried two weeks ago to Mrs. Mary VanBibber, . well known and popular society leadei of Baltimore, and the newly-made bride is prostrated by the terrible tragedy | The dead mayor was very popular among the people generally. irrespective of party. and the whole community na' been profoundly shocked by his tragi,

 Cut no Figure.

St. Petersburg. May 3O.-A semi official telegram from Mukden today says: owing to the impossibiHty of defending the position southward of Kin Chou without the aid of fleet the Russian defense at that point was only of a demonstrative character. The de- lending force was armed with guns taken from the Chinese in 1900 and had little ammunition. The occupation of the position by the Japanese at great cost to themselves does not alter the situation.

Flint Wheels

FLAT Wheel" growled the old retired
conductor as the trolley car in which
he sat went humping along at twelve
miles an hour shaking the passengers
uncomfortably at every revolution Of
the wheels.
what makes fiat wheelsw asked the
man Sitting next to the conductor.
'Fools," said the conductor. Its this
way: II a man doesn't know how to
stop his car he makes fiat wheel. On
the steam roads some: brakemen f1atten
a wheel every time they put on a
brake. When the wheel suddenly stops
revolving and the momentum of the
train carries it along the wheel slides
along the track, and fiat is started.
Next stop makes it worse, and so it
goes until the wheel is no good. If a
brakeman knows his business he need
never make fiat wheel unless he has
to suddenly avoid an accident. If he
keeps his wheels turning slowly they
don't f1atten. Now, these fellows on
the trolleys take no care at all, and
every other car in some places has a
fiat wheel. "-Washingt Star.

IrrecOyerabIe Waste.

The utilization of what formerly were
considered waste products and the res
direction Of materials from used up
state to Il new condition of service
ableness have IN recent times been de-
veloped to such a degree of complete
ness that we are scarcely prepared to
admit that anything is ever irrecover-
ably lost. In this respect we believe
in the conservation Of material just as
we have long been taught to believe
in the law of conservation of energy.
From purely practical point of view,
however, some things certainly may be
SO completely lost to further use that
their loss may we'll be considered abso-
lutte, and one of these Is the metal lost
in the wear of railway rolling stock
brasses For the Spectator in copper
values, the promoter of a copper 'cor-
ner." to use the brokers' cant, the cop
per which has gone into railway
brasses need have no terror. 1t is not
likely ever to be available again in full
measure. It is dissipated so complete
ly, in part at least, that, it's practical
recovery is not likely to receive much
serious consideration From the best
available deductions on the subject it
appears that per cent of the annual
copper production of the. world disap-
pears in this way every year.-Cassiers

THERE is bill introduced in congress
by the Hon. Walter p. Brownlow of Ten
nessee, and the Hon. Jacob EEL. Gallinger,
member of the senate from New Hamp-
shire, appropriating S24 100000 on the
part of the national government as ma
tional aid in building wagon roads. This
money is to be appropriated among the
states according to their population, ex-
cept that no state shall receive less than
S25O00O. Each state receiving national
aid from the government must add a
like amount to the sum received. This
will, therefore, cause the spending of
100000 for roads and will build from
6,OCO to 1000 miles of splendid road and
will place in each state from 100 to 500
miles of fine hard road, which will not
be affected by frost or spring rains and
on which the farmer can haul the year
round. 1t will be great advantage to
those living near it, but it will be far
greater advantage to the whole country
because it will be wonderful object
lesson and will prove to everyone that
good, hard road which can be used the
year round, no matter what the rains
are, is good and desirable thing; it will
make everyone who sees this road and
who uses it want more roads just like it,
and it will cause more roads just like it
to he built. While under the Brownlow
bill the building of 5000 to 1000 miles Of
splendid road is a great thing, yet it
seems to many that the greatest advan-
tage of this bill is the wonderful object
lesson which 100 to 500 miles of fine road
will produce when built in every state of
the Union,
