IN CRASH ON BRIDGE.
Northwestern Freight and Passenger
Trains Narrowly Escape Dis
aster in Fond du Lac.

FOND DU LAC, Wis, Oct 10
Especial. l-Several people were badly
bruised and negro porter had his head
cut, as the result of a collision between
a passenger and freight train on the
Northwestern railroad at 1927 this
morning on the Brooke street bridge in
this city. The wreck is thought to have
been caused by the failure of the air
brake on the passenger train.
Passenger train No. s, due in this city
at $50 this morning, was two hours
late on account of the engine breaking
down. When it arrived at Princeton
crossing in this city the engine broke
down again.
This was being repaired as the Marsh
field freight left the depot, headed for
the passenger train. The block was
clear for the freight. Suddenly the
engineer saw the passenger coming to-
ward him on the same track. The engi-
neer Of the passenger had finished his re-
pairs and started When he noticed the
other train, he tried to STOP but the
brakes failed and a collision followed.

GERMANY FOR Bic NAVY.
The Disc osureS Of Ang'o-F French
Agreement Causes Agitation.
FLEETS ARE TOO WEAK
Powerful Naval League of 100000 Mem
bers Begins Agitation for In
creased Strength.

BERLIN, Oct. 14.-The disclosures in
France of alleged British offers of al
lance against Germany are so thorough
ly believed here that the powerful naval
league with its 100000 members and all
the apparatus of agitation is already
moving for a new naval programme that
shall further increase Germany's defen-
sve resources against Great Britain.
Distrust Of Great Britain.
Popular distrust of Great Britain has
naturally swollen to gre,tL proportions
and the semi-off1cial denlals in London
can scarcely overcome the convictions
now formed that Germany had a narrow
escape from a war in which although
she would have been victorious on land
would have resulted in her being crushed
at sea and damaged along the coast with
the consequent destruction of her over
sea commerce. The events of the last
four months have silenced the opponents
of a naval increase except the Socialists
and radicals.
Must Have Big Navy.
While time and money beyond Ger
many's resources would be necessary to
equal Great Britain's present navy, not
to speak of her future buildings, yet the
feeling is that Germany must for defen-
sive reasons build as many more ships
as the country's finances will bear. The
introduce in the Reichstag a measure
substituting large for small cruisers in
the authorized naval programme.
Whether the government will increase
the recommendations beyond this or not
is not yet known.

Caledonia Passes Through Same Storm
That Caused the Campania
Disaster.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16-Battered dur

Glasgow by terrific seas, the Caledonia
arrived yesterday and the passengers
told of hurricane weather and constant
vigil on the part of the captain and his
officers.
In the same great storm that brought
death to the passengers on the Cunarder
Campania, the Caledonia plunged on
Wednesday. For twentyfour hours the
liner struggled against the engulfng
seas, while behind the steel doors of the
deck houses the cabin passengers were
imprisoned, as the thrush of water swept
the ships decks.
They were terror stricken, and the
crashing of the table crockery as the
ship plunged into the great hollows I'M

knelt and prayed throughout the night.
So far as learned there were no serious
accidents to passengers.

WOOL DUTY IN QUESTION.
War Prices in Russia and $4,000 In
volved in Test of Importation
Brought in Boston.

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 16.-Boston
wool merchants are daily expecting a re-
port from the United States board of
general appraisers relative to the impor-
tation of wool from Russia, involving be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 in duty. 1t
concerns an Interpretation of the law
and also the relation betweec the nat
ural wool market in Russia and the arti-
fetal market produced by the Russo-Jap-
anese war.
Under conditions produced by the war,
the local appraiser has estimated the
duty on wool at q rate which will entitle
the United States to about $4,000 more
than it has received. On the inflated
war market price the Boston appraiser
based the rate of duty. The importer ap-
pealed and was sustained. Thereupon
the local appraiser took the matter to
the full board at New York.

WAITED FOR ENGLAND.
Newfoundland Fishery Case Is Now Near
ing Settlement-Old Treaty
at the Bottom.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 49,
Representative Augustus 2. Gardner and
Benjamin A. Smith, Boston vessel
owner, today laid before Secretary Root
the grievances of the Gloucester fisher
men in connection with the New Found
land herring fisheries.
Will Deal Through Britain.
This subject has formed the basis of
several exchanges between the British
and American governments during the
past year and now that the British am
bassador has returned to Washington
the negotiations will be resumed. The
failure of the Senate last year to act
upon the Hay-Bond reciprocity tr aty
with New Foundland almost mad "a
crisis.
For 200 years past indeed since the
making of the treaty of Utrecht in 1113,
American fishermen have enjoyed the
right to fish along the shores of New
Foundland and Labrador and to enter
the bays, harbors and creeks. According
to the American view that right was
confirmed by the treaty of 1918. French
subjects enjoy the same rights in those
waters, and one fact that adds to the
feeling among the American fishermen
on this subject is that no attempt has
been made to include the French fisher
men in the attempted prohlbluon direct
ed against inshore fishing.
Can't Deal Directly.
The state department not being able to
deal directly with the government of
New Foundland, has been obliged to de-
lay the presentation Of its case some
what and until the return Of the British
ambassador to Washington.
After a long conference today action
was postponed New Foundland author
tiles, through the British ambassador,
have informed the state department that
they know of no such action as is COM
planned of. 1t is added that perhaps
the fishermen had no licenses.
