is reached on the scale. The trouble
is over the machine rate, which ten
days conference in Canton early in
the month failed to settle. That con-
ference referred the whole question
to a committee of five operators and
five miners, but so far the committee
has failed to agree on time and place
of meeting. They will probably get
together this week. There are about
thirty-hve mines in the district, locat-

THE CANAL TRANSFERRED
Closing Negotiations in Panama Deal
Contaminated By Day and Russell.
FORTY MILLION DOLLARS ADVANCED
Deeds Of the Property, Archives and
Other Papers and Documents Which Will Be-
long to the United States Uuder The
Transfer, Have Alreay Been Turned Over
: to the Representatives Of Our Government

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD.-Ihe
attorney general has received cable
grams from Messrs. Day and Russell,
who went to Paris as his representa-
tive to conduct the closing negotia-
tions for the Panama canal property,
to the effect that the deeds OF the
property, archives and all other papers
and documents which will belong to
the United States under the transfer
have already been turned over to
them and that the purchase price OF
$4o,ooo,ooo has been advanced to the
canal company by Paris syndicate OF
bankers. This syndicate, it is under
stood, offers to pay over the money
with view to expediting the con-
summation of the sale on the assur-
ance of the attorney general that the
draft Of the syndicate on he United
States for the $4o,ooo,ooo, would be
6onored on presentation at the treas
ury at Washington.
At the time the money was paid
over TO the canal company in Paris,
Mai. Mark Brooke, of the engineer
corps OF the army, now in Colon,
was authorized to formally receive
the property on the isthmus in the
name of the United States. Whether
this transfer has actually been made
by the Republic of Panama the de-
partment of justice has not yet been
advised, but it is assumed it will be
made within a day or two. Messrs
Day and Russell are expected to re-
turn to Washington whiting the next
ten days and will bring with them the
title deeds of the canal property.
Though sympathizing with the Ell
forts of the European holders OF Co
lombian bonds to induce the new state
of Panama to assume some share OF
the foreign indebtedness Of Colon
bia, the state department has made
no move in that matter since the re-
tirement from Washington OF NJ.
Bunau-V arilla, the Panaman minister.
Before the minister left Washing
ton, Secretary Hay took occasion to
impress upon him the fact that con-
siderations of equity should move
Panama to an assumption o. some
part of the national debt, but the
minister was not particularly i'm
pressed and no effort was made to
bring pressure Ito bear on the new
government The attempt to delay
the payment of the $Io,ooo,ooo to
Panama by the presentation OF the
old Colon fire claims probably will

the main line near Wickes Siding.
Orders were issued for all north
bound and southbound trains to use
the switch at that point instead OF the
main line. Five trains passed the Sid
ing during the interval between the
breakdown of the freight car and the
arrival of No. Is.
1t is stated by Conductor Austin
that he read the order to the engineer
and handed copy to him. The Of
ficals of the road cannot account for
the fact that the train approached the
siding at the high rate of speed it
must have done to cause the damage
it did.
The engine turned completely over,
pinioning Engineer Bailey beneath
tons of steel. Master Mechanic Taber
who was riding in the engine, was also
instantly killed.
The baggage car was thrown nearly
100 feet from the wreck, and is entire
w demolished. The two coaches di-
rectly in the rear of the baggage car
were also overturned and badly
wrecked. The sleeping car in the rear
of the coaches was thrown on its side
and damaged.

MANY other fremen who had been
called out by the four alarms had mar,

being the frequent explosions OF
chemicals in the building.
Besides the soap plant the Dunbar
Box and Lumber Company's lumber

first japanese army, under General
Kuroki. has forced crossing of the
Yalu River, and with gallant infan-
try charge, covering frontage OF tour
miles. it drove the Russians from
Chiutiencheng and the heights on the
right bank of the Tho or Aida RIVER
which enters the Yalu from the north,
almost opposite Win. The Japanese
turned the left flank of the Russian
position, and in the battle they swept
away the new front interposed by the
Russians to check their onward move
ment.
The Russians were also forced to
abandon Antung. They burned the
town and retrcated to Feng Huan-
cheng.
The Japanese now control the es-
tuary of the Yalu.
In the decisive battle the losses
we're:
Japanese, 700 killed and wounded
Russians, 800.
The Japanese captured 20 quick
firing guns. 20 officers and many men.
The Russians made two stands.
The Russians say their forces en-,
gagged numbered less than 5000 ana
that the Japanese greatly outnum-
bered them.
General Kuroki began the move
ment on Tuesday by ordering a de-
tachment of the Imperial Guards Dr.

which is in the Yalu above Win, and
a detachment OF the Second DivlS-
ion. TO seize the Island OF Kinteito.
which is situated below Wuu. -,
The detachment of the imperial
guards met with some resistance, but
It succeeded in clearing the enemy OUT
and occupied Kurito Island. lhe Kus'

teito when attacked by the detachment
of the second division.
The actual losses sustained by the
detachment of the imperial guards, is
not known, as there is an error III that
part of the message received here re-
ferring to the number killed, but 9 OF
the attachments were severely and 10
slightly wounded. The detachment
of the second division which took the
Island of Kinteito sustained no losses.
During these movements on the IS
lands the Russians opened tre on the
Japanese with eight oH centimeter
guns from a hill behind Chiu I'm
Cheng and two Hotchkiss guns, which
were mounted on the bank OF the river
at Kosan, where the Russians seemed
to have established their headquarters.
One battery of Japanese artillery
which had taken a position on hill
to the east OF Win, fired three volleys
at Fosan, and at noon of Tuesday the
Russian batteries behind Chiu lien
Cheng shelled Wiju, wounding one
japanese soldier with shrapnel.
On Wednesday the Russians resum-
I'd the bombardment Of VIII, firing at
intervals throughout the day The
Japanese artillery did not respond to
This fire. General Kuroki has received
reports to the effect that the Russians
are fortifying the heights on the right
