Dozen MEET DEATH
: IN A collision
PASSENGER TRAIN CRASHES IN
TO A FREIGHT NEAR KIsH-
MAN, OHIO.
VICTIMS ARE MOSTLY
FOREIGN LABORERS
Many Of Those Killed Were Riding in
Smoker Which Was Crushed as If
Made Of Paper-At Least Twenty
Five Others Injured.

Cleveland, O., Aug. 15.-A fast east
bound passenger train on the Nickel
Plate road collided with a westbound
freight train early Sunday at Kishman,
o., near Vermillion, resulting in the
death Of IL persons, while at least Is
others were injured. The wreck, accord
ing to the officials of the company, was
caused by misunderstanding of or
ders, or neglect to obey them on the
part of the crew of the freight train.
Victims Mostly Laborers.
! Aside from the engineer, the men
KILLED on the passenger train were all
riding in the smoking car at the head
!of the train, and were mostly foreign
laborers in the employ of the Standard
Oil company on their way from Fort
Seneca, O., to Brookfeld, o., in charge
of foreman. Engineer G. G. Poole OF
the passenger train was killed at his
post, while trying to reach for the air
brake after seeing the headlight of the
freight train. His fireman, Haefner,
saved himself by jumping.
Car Crushed Like Paper.
When the trains came together, al
most everybody in the smoker was
doing. The sudden jar hurled them
out of their seats into the aisle and
threw several persons to the roof and
sides of the car, which seemed all at
once to crush in like paper bag, pin
ming down each passenger in the posi-
ton in which he had been caught. The
passengers in the second car escaped
more easily, as there the violence OF
the impact was not so severe, although
few got off without cuts, bruises,
sprains or broken bones. The two rear
cars were sleepers, and they withstood
the shock without suffering serious
harm. No passengers in the sleepers
were injured.
Train Ordered to Siding.
President Canifr, of the Nickel Plate,
stated that from the information in the
hands of the officials, the freight train
crew had orders to go on the siding at
Kishman and there await the passage Of
the passenger train. Why this was not
done in time to permit the passenger
Train 10 go py, OF ud6mdu seAI ous,
has not yet been learned. A rigid In
vestigation is, however, being made by
the railway officials. 1t is said that the
watch of the engineer Of the freight
train was slow, and that the engineer
believed he had eight minutes to get his
train on the siding before the passenger
train was due. The freight train had
Stacked speed, and was about to back in
on the siding from the main track when
the passenger train came tearing along
at rate of As miles an hour and dashed
into it.
Injured Doing Well.
!: Monday morning all of the injured
victims of the Nickel Plate wreck were
reported by the hospital authorities al
Lorain as being out of danger with
the possible exception of two. E. e
O'Hara, OF Findlay, O., whose left leg
was amputated, is recovering rapidly
from the shock. Engineer Kirby, o.

RUSSIAN
SETTLERS

For some time past 1t has been
known that negotiations were being
conducted for the, settlement of q
colony of Russians In Hawaii
Yesterday there arrived by the s. >.
Mongolia, Captain p. A. Demens OF
Los Angeles, California, accompanied
by IT. Shubin and M. Slioxiff for the
purpose of further investigating and
verifying the reports made by Captain
Demens on his visit to Honolulu some
weeks ago.
The people who are considering col
oni.ing in Hawaii are the Molakans,
who are Russian Quakers, and have
become dissatisfied with conditions I'm
Russia and desire to immigrate abroad.
They are moral, industrious and an
agricultural people: fairly well-to-do
for Russian peasants, being able to
pay their own expenses to the United
States.
If they come to Hawaii they will
be able to pay their own expenses here
and have from $500 to $1,000 for each
family ier "a an investing capital.
Some 1000 to 1900 Molakans have al
ready arrived at Los Angeles, Cali
fornia. They are not satisfied with
conditions there and, upon represen-
tations being made by James B. Castle
to Captain Demens, who has been rep
resenting them before, Captain Demens
came to Hawaii few weeks ago and
made preliminary investigation OF
conditions here.
He was much pleased with what he
saw and reported back accordingly to
the Russian colonists at Los Angeles.
They have accordingly sent two of
their elders here in company with
Captain Demens to make further in
vestigation and report.
OF all the government land which
Captain Demens saw, he was most
favorably impressed with the land of
Kappa at Kauai, government land now
under lease to the Makee Sugar Co.,
on lease which runs out in about
eighteen months The land is well
watered, n stream flowing through 1t.
and consists of about 5000 acres Of good
cane land.
The proposition is under considera-
tion between the Governor and the Ma
kee Sugar Co. and the colonists for the
company to surrender the lease now.
and allow the land to be homesteaded
under the homestead settlements asso-
Citations law, so that the settlers can
get into possession Immediately and
raise cane for plantations under con-
tract to be agreed upon beforehand.
Captain Demens and his companions
Will visit Kauai and IL these two elders
are as well satisfied as Captain Demens
with the quality of the land, an at
tempt viii be made to bring the pro-
posed terms to a speedy conclusion.
Captain Demens and Messrs. Slubin
and Slioxiff will have n conference with
the Governor this morning and will
leave for Kauai this afternon by the
steamer Mikahala. The party will
probably return on Sunday.
Captain Demens, or Demens-Tvorsky
to give him his full name, is the head
of one of the oldest Russian families.
He was at one time one OF the liberal
noblemen, being a marshal of the no.
bility under Alexander H., and was
driven out of Russia by the reaction
aries who came into power after the
assassination OF that monarch.
Honolulus notable visitor is now n
resident of Los Angeles, where he has
accumulated fortune in the lumber
business.

ISLE OF PINES is
CONCEDED TO CUBA

| WASHINGTON, November l5.-Se.
nor Quesada, the Cuban Minister here,
called at the State Department today
and seemed to be considerably agitated
over the news of the movement in the
Isle of Pines to oppose the formal
transfer of the island of Cuba. He
had an interview on the subject with
Secretary Root, but declined to make
any statement concerning it.
The contention of the American resi-.
dents is that as they own in fee simple
five sixths of the ground, and as the
remaining one-sixth is in the hands of
one or two Spanish families, the 1900
native residents being non-property
owners, they have a right to be heard
by this government. A suggestion has
been made here that is known to have
received serious official consideration,
to the effect that. in view of the fact
that the War Department actually did
at one time give ground for belief
on the part of some persons that the
! Isle of Pines was American, it would
be only just for this government to
pay these settlers for the land.
1t can be said that the would be
| seceders will receive no encouragement
from the administration. secretary OF
state Root, when he was Secretary OF
War, was very clear and emphatic on
the point "that the Isle of Pines be-
longed to Cuba as matter of right,
ms matter of international law and
as matter of iustice;" furthermore,
that in procuring naval station in
Cuba for the United States there was
general understanding that the Isle
of Pines was to be ceded to Cuba,
although its title had been in doubt.

Nance 0'NE|L WAS
SURPRISE TO BOSTON

Boston Transcript.--The apparition
OF Nance O'Neil on the local stage has
been the most startling of theatrical
events for years. With such a name
on posters only a soubrette who sat
on tables and swung her neat stock
ings could be expected. But here is a
new Rachel-an American "trage-
dienne" who Is "tragedienne" appear
Ing to us for the first time by way
of Australia, New Zealand and Europe,
and that without flare of trumpets
either preliminary or contemporary.
Evidently this heroic exemplar of
American art, believes that real art
needs no advance agent. She has new
ertheless managed to reach "the judi
cious few" who have discovered her
and holds them so far I'm rapt and
breathless suspense over her tragic
periods. OF stalwart height with grace
full figure and mobile face, a nicely
modulated voice and the perfection of
limb and statesque grace, Miss O'Neil
has the advantage of exemplifying in
her person almost all of the physical
desiderata of great art, but the mental
and spiritual endowment is quite as
complete. Evidently, as far as natural
endowment goes, for the great posi-
tion of leading tragedienne of her time,
In English speaking countries, she has
no rival Nothing in the way of train
ing either seems to be lacking From
her beautiful arm and hand and most
exquisite use Of wrist and the open
fingers in gesture-nobody since Edwin
Booth has displayed such and-play.
One could reconstruct all the figures
OF the traditional poses, as given in
delsarte and the old French works for
the expression or heightening of all the
various passions and emotions. AS with
the arm and hand, so with the whole
superb figure, all of it's movements
were express and admirable" and yet
its arrests of motion and its repose
did the most powerful work. At mo-
ments In the dreadful Ibsen play she
seemed a very "Lachesis,' the fate
that cuts the thread of life as a mat
ter of business; sibyl, a harpy in
the Suderman drama the most woman
ly and intense of weak women, sport
of a wild passion and sweeping blind
ly over the precipice.
All this is told not so much by ac-
ton, though that Is interesting, vivid
and beautiful, as by compelling power
of personality, by magnetism. hypno-
tism, possession by the very soul and
feeling of the character in hand. Nance
ONeil, Irish though she may be as is
so much OF everything great In art
I'm English speaking lands is an Amer
lean to be proud of; for she is Amer
ican and her art is American, so far
as great art can have any national
character.

GOVERNOR CARRIERS REPORT
Governor Carters annual report is
still at the Government Printing office,
where 1t is being set up primarily
that it may be abstracted as soon
as possible for the report of the Sec
retary of the Interior. 1t will probab-
ly be made public in the course of a
few days.
The elections Tuesday, resulting in
the overthrow of the bosses every
where, have caused great surprise in
Washington. To Hawaiians, possibly,
the defeat of the Republicans in Ohio
is of most interest because of the eff
feet upon Senator Foraker, Chairman
of the Committee on the Pacific Is
lands. who has been a good friend to
Hawaiians. The effect upon Senator
Forakers presidential aspirations is
still problematical but 1t is thought
that his chances for the leadership of
his party in Ohio have been strength
ened, unless Secretary Taft chooses to
seek such honors. The Democratic
legislature, Democratic in both branch
es according to the latest returns, will
assure Senator Foraker a fight in 1908
for reelection. While Ohio is a Re-
publican state normally, the peculiar
of districts, especially in
the big cities, leaves the legislature
generally more in doubt than the state
officials. ERNEST G. WALKER.
