LAKE BAIKAL DISASTER.
Train Dashed Into Snowdrift-One Sol
ier Killed, Nineteen injured.

ST. PETERSBURG, February @.-With
reference to the sensational stories Oh a us
aster to Russian troops at Lake Baikal lone
report saying that three regiments were
drowned while attempting to cross the ice
covered lake, 1t is explained that the trans
Baikal line was blocked at the Baikal sta
ton during the night of February Is by an
avalanche of snow which fell from a neigh
boring mountain. A train having troops on
board dashed into the obstruction, the loco
motive was derailed, and in the succeeding
five cars one soldier was killed. five were
severely injured and fourteen were slightly
hurt. Traffic was expected to be resumed
the following day.
Further advices from Port Arthur today
say that all the women and children and
most of the male civilians have left that
place, and that practically only the garri-
son remains
The wave of patriotism sweeping over
the empire seems to be swamping racial
feeling, even the wild tribes of the Caucasus,
the dSconted Firms and Sulen Poles forget
ting their grievances and coming forward
to volunteer their services to the common
fatherland.
Devotion of Jewish Doctors.
An instance of devotion among the cars
Hebrew subjects is afforded by the act of
forty-five Jewish doctors in throwing up
their practices to go TO the front. Before
leaving they attended a service held in q
synagogue here. Rabbi Drabkin made a
fervid address to large congregation,
which included Baron Ginzberg and other
Jewish notables. He said:
"Our fatherland is passing through a diff
fcult epoch. The moment has come when
you. my brothers, must show the whole
world that you are not unworthy sons of
your country, and that although standing
apart before the altar OF religion you are
united with other citizens before the altar
of patriotism and are ready. with all the
czar's faithful lieges. to sacrifice yourselves
for the fatherland. Remember that Russia
is strong, not only in arms, but in God $
blessing"
After the service the congregation sang
the national hymn and cheered.
Czarina Takes Active Interest.
The czarina. who continues to take great
personal interest in providing for the sick
and wounded of the war, presided today at
a special meeting of the Ladies Patriotic
Society, which was attended by several
grand duchesses and others of the highest
ladies in the land, and presided at a service

THE VICE PRESIDENCY
INDIANA MAY FURNISH CANDI-
DATES FOR BOTH PARTIES.
Democratic Leaders Are Planning to
Garry That State and Also
Illinois.

Indiana may furnish the candidates for
second place on both presidential tickets.
Indiana is regarded as fighting ground by
the democratic leaders, and they are look
ing it over very carefully.
Roosevelt and Fairbanks and John Doe
and Miers" may be the names with which
to conjure in Indiana next fall. Later,
John Doe will be switched and Parker,
German, Hearst or the ark horse, now best
represented by John Doe, be substituted on
the democratic ticket, but Representative
Robert w. Miers friends are freely pre-
dieting that his will be the second name on
the democratic presidential list.
Plans to carry Indiana and Illinois are
now nearer to the hearts of the democratic
leaders than even the question of presiden-
tial candidates. They think that somehow
or other the problem of the nominee for
first place will work itself out and they
are more concerned in the practical politics
of debatable territory.
Claim for Indiana.
Indiana is claimed as old-fashioned demo-
cratic ground. The land of Hendricks, of
Dan Voorhees,, of Turpie, of Holman and
the long line of distinguished democrats
who have led the hosts of the democracy
to victory has been grudgingly yielded to
the republicans, and the democrats fain
would redeem the old soil.
Representative Miers is a member of the
old guard of the Indiana democracy;
democrat through thick and thin and un-
alterable in mis- devotion to the old party
through the changing times and the kaleido-
scopic policies as they flashed, Sometimes
things have come little swiftly for him. in
the way of policies and platforms, but he
has held on hard, and when he could get
his breath would declare that though he
might not understand it all for the moment
it was labeled democracy. and he was
democrat. His vice presidential boom is
daily growing more vigorous.
In Congress the belief is general that
Senator Fairbanks will be the republican
candidate for Vice President. The idea is
entirely acceptable to republicans, and at
this time seems to be the political proba-
bility.
