LAND FRAUDS
 NEWEST PHASE
The Discovery of Gigantic
 SWindIe
The Oregon Land Thieves Sold the Stolen Property Over and Over Again in the East.

Salem, Ore, Dec. 2.-Far more se- rious than any previous development of the many-sided land frauds perpe trated in this state, are charges made in a letter to Governor Chamberlain today from State Land Agent Oswold West, who in effect, asserts that by means of forged certificates of the sale of school lands, eastern bankers have been swindled out of untold sums of money.
 Not content, the land agent asserts, with having defrauded the state out of approximately 5OO,OO0 acres of school land, practically all it possess ed, by means of a dummy" entry man, when money was no longer to be made in that manner, the land Op orators prepared printed certificates of sale and assignments and inserted in them descriptions of school lands on which certificates had previously been issued, the number of the entry, then forged the signature of the clerk .of the state land board and notaries public, attached forged notary seals and a forgery of the great seal of the state of oregon, and re-sold the lands time and again to innocent persons in the east

AN ASSAULT MADE
 ON PRESIDENTS TRAIN
An Iron Missile Thrown Through the
 Window of a CGr.

Washington, Dec. 2.-AS Presidents special train was passing through North Philadelphia at 80 this even ing, en route to Washington, some un- known person hurled a mason'S plum bob through one of the windows. The implement was of iron and weighed about two and one-half pounds. It fell at the feet of Major Webb Hayes, a son of the late President Hayes, who was a passenger on the train. Fragments of the broken glass fell on Major Hayes, but he was in no way injured. The car was in the forward part of the train and might easily have heen taken for the presidents private car.
 Major Hayes was sitting at the window A profile of him is not un- like that of the president No clew to the thrower of the missile was ob- tained. The president himself knew nothing of the matter until nearly an hour after it occurred.
 He made no comment upon it. passing it off as the wanton act of some irresponsible person. AS a measure of precaution, the curtains of the windows of several of the cars were drawn down after the news of the incident spread among the passen- gers on the train.
 The secret service officers who ac- companied the president, took charge of the missile and an effort will be made through the secret service bu- reau to apprehend the person who threw it. A report of the incident was made by the train officials to the of ficials of the Pennsylvania railroad. Assurance is given that every effort will be made by the Pennsylvania railroad to apprehend the person gull ty of the act. The railroad officials are inclined to the belief that the plumbob was thrown by some boy as some incidents of a similar charac- ter have occurred at about the same place.

vide better remedies for the real abuses existing so that the producer and the consumer can find a more speedy and less expensive remedy than we now have. In this opinion, I foc one concur. The burden is upon con Sress and our party, having power, is primarily responsible.
 Let us go forward. But if is our duty to see that the Legislation is wise in the premises, just to the corporation, the carrier and to the people. We can not oppress one by foolish or unjust legislation without bringing disaster upon all We shall be especially care full to not unduly interfere with the operation Of the competitive forces, for after all our very civilization rests up- on it; each individual living in the sweat of his face, is hustling to pro- mote his own interest. We may regu- late commerce among the states and as an incident thereto we may regulate the competitive forces. We dare not destroy them.
 "A word in conclusion. Our large maj ajority in the house, if we give at tention to business will enable us to do our work and avoid q long session. This is certainly desirable. The re- sponsibility is upon us. From time to time, in the settlement of proper pol icies and methods, there should be the fullest consultation and, when neces- sary, we should meet in caucus for conference and action
 The officers of the house were re- nominated as follows: Clerk, AleXan- der Mcdowell, Pennsylvania; sergeant at arms, Henry Casson, Wisconsin; doorkeeper, F. B. Lyon, New York; postmaster, J. c. McElroy, Ohio; chap lain. Rev Henry M. Couden, Michigan.
 The rules of the Fifty-eighth con- gress, including standing orders for the consideration of pension ana other claim bills on Fridays were ordered continued during the F'ifty-nintn con- gress.
 Another resolution was adopted re- quiring the signature of fifty members to call a caucus. Representative Jas. A. Tawney of Minnesota was elected whip for the republican side. There

was some discussion concerning seats in the house, the suggestion being made that the large republican ma jority entitled the party to occupy the first block of seats across the main aisle. This aisle has usually been the party dividing line. but in the fifty second congress the democrats over flowed into the first block on the re- publican side and in the fifty fourth congress the republicans occupied seats on the democrat side. The mat ter was finally left with the speaker and it is expected that he and Mir. Williams, the minority leader, will reach an agreement.

THE SILENCE
 OF RUSSIA
There Is No Reply to the
 World s Knocking.
All Lines of Co communication with the Capitals of Europe Broken Yesterday Morning.

London, Dec 3.-Up to midnight, London. Berlin. Copenhagen, Paris and Stockholm were completely shut off from telegraphic communication with St, Petersburg.
 Early this morning the Great North ern Telegraph company, which has two routes into St. Petersburg, one by way of Copenhagen and Libau and the other by way of Finland announced that com munication was completely severed be- tween Copenhagen and Nystadt, the last named on the western Finnish coast, being the most easterly point from which and to which it could ac- cept messages. The Great Northern company further stated that the quick est means of reaching the eastern Fin nish coast points was by cable to Nystadt and thence by letter to Hels- ingfors or other points.
 The Associated Press is endeavoring to get into communication with the capital from Helsingfors, the nearest point to St. Petersburg, but finds that route impossible by wire and there is some doubt whether water is suffi- ciently free from ice to permit boats crossing to Helsingfors from Russian ports.
 The Associated Press and the Reuter- Telegram company, as well as the Eng fish newspapers, have sent urgent dis patches to their correspondents all over Russia and especially al the frontier points, to secure news from St. Peters burg and the interior, but none of the cable companies in London had re- ceived word up to midnight. Further more, the companies are unable to say what the prospects are for a renewal of communication.
 Warsaw is the only point from which any Russian News has been received since early this morning and this even- ing with the exception of a private message over the railroad line briefly speaking of a conflagration at Moscow, was practically confined to events at Warsaw and LOdz.

FORCE OF THE EXPLOSION.

Salt Lake. Dec. "A special to the Tribune tonight shows about twenty men were in the mine, two of whom the rope runner and the shift boss. left the mne about five minutes before the explosion.
 The main force of the explosion was at the twelfth level about 1000 feet from the mouth of the mine. IL made matchwood of the eight by eight tim bers. Stone and cement stOppings from eighteen to twenty-four inches thick were torn from their places and strewn throughout the mine. The work of rescue is proceeding as rapidly as iS consistent with the safety. Canvas brattices are being erected by the re- scue party as it proceeds. but progress is hampered by the presence of gas. which makes it necessary to carry the air with the workmen.
 The rescue party has reached the tenth level and has about 200 feet tO go to reach the scene of the explosion There is no outward sign of fire. hut it is believed that fire is raging be- yOnd the debris and coal.

A Disaster in a Wyoming

Eighteen Men Caught by an Explo- sion--The Usual Pitiful Scenes About the Shaft.

DiamOndville, WyO., Dec. 2.-Eigh- teen miners lost their lives by an ex- plosion late last night in the Diamond Coal and Coke company's mine No. l. It is believed that all of the men who perished were instantly killed. What caused the disaster is not defi- nitely known, but the theory advanced by the miners is that a blow out" shot caused a dust explosion. which wrecked the mine. The shock of the explosion was felt all over the town. rocking buildings so violently that their occupants ran out into the open. The news that there had been an other disaster at the Diamond mine the second in less than five years. quickly spread through the vilIagc. and practically the whole population of Diamondvillc Hooked to the mine shaft.
 Wives and children of the entCmbed miners were among those who rushed to the shaft and the scenes were most pathetic. Though men were ready tO enter the shaft, it was impossible to do so, owing to the after effects of the explosion and Superintendent Thomas Snedden insisted that all pre- cautions against fire should be taken It was late this forenoon before tae first rescue party entered the mine.
 The explosion occurred at HOO feet under the ground and at least 3.0c0 feet from the mouth of the shaft The explosion wrecked the brattices and blocked the entrances to the lowe levels of the mine, necessitating tne removal of much debris before the miners could be reached When the rescuers finally went into the mine. none could remain long. The crowds around the portal eagerly watched as car after car came up from below. but they brought up only rescuers who had been overcome by the after damp. It was nearly noon before the first body was brought up.
 The 800 coal diggers of the Diamond mines were assisted in the rescue work by many of the miners. who came over from KemmeIer. few miles distant Every man in this mine periShed

The denomination of Speaker Cannon and | All the Officers of the Last Congress
The Speaker in His Address of Acceptance Audes to Impending Adjustment of the Differences Between the Carriers and the People.

Washington, Dec. 2.-The republican members of the fifty-ninth congress met in caucus tonight in the hall of the house of representatives and re- nominated all the elective officers of the house, who served during the last session. William P. Hepburn was again chosen chairman of the caucus. The principal feature of the evening was the speech of Joseph G. Cannon, who was for the second time unan- imously chosen for speaker. The non- ination of Mr. Cannon and his speech of acceptance created hearty enthu- siasm among the republican members and his remarks were generally ap- proved.
 In accepting the nomination, Mir. Cannon said in part:
 Tt would be 9 bold man or party that would do anything by legislation or a threat thereof that would tend to destroy or cleck the progress of people in their successful achieve ments in all branches of industry in the country. Clothed with full power it is our duty to see to it that by wise appropr aCions the revenues gath Cre1 from the willing peop,e are applied to the public service to make the same efficient. avoiding parsi- mOny on one hand and extravaganza on the other.
 The changes in methods of produc ton and commerce, so Salutary and beneficial involving as they do the ex- traordinary use of combined capital, emphasize the necessity for preventing agreements in restraint of trade and the regulation of commerce among ths states and with foreign nations. Con . gress, without the limits of its jurisdic- tion under the constitution has hereto fore enacted legislation touching these subjects. Tn the fullness of time it may be, under the law, as it now is, and by the operation Of competitive forces that matters of differences between corporations, carriers and the people they serve. would be adjusted in jus tice to 2i!.

Is it reasonable or business-like to

are so tempting out here, because the

them? Our foreign affairs will never

Crushed by Traction Engine.

What proved to be fatal acct
dent took place near Polk a few
days ago. Amos Cooley, aged 5
married and having one child, was
running a traction engine from one
place to another, and in going had
to cross several bridges. He had
been warned that the bridges were
rotting, and that they were totally
unsafe for the engine to cross, yet
he undertook the job, with fatal
results.
He started out with his engine,
and in crossing one of the bridges,
after the front wheels were over,
the planks underneath gave way,
and the engine and water wagon
went through together, catching
him and mangling him frightfuily.
lie managed to extricate himself
from the ruins and ctawled to the
bank. He was taken home and

Murder MOST Foul.

Trimble, Tenn, Sept. 17.-Miss
ing since last Monday morning and
his disappearance in conjecture
the bloody circumstances which
have come to light lend weight tc
the generally accepted theory that
Sim Tucker was murdered by an
enemy and his body hauled to the
Obion river and thrown in to hide
evidence of the crime.
George Raspberry, an aged citi-
zen of this place, with whom it is
said Tucker had trouble, has left
here for st. Louis, it is said since
some of the circumstances have be-
come known.
In the Obion river bottom traces
were found where somebody had
been dragged along the ground for
considerable distance to log,
where a quantity of blood was
found. By the side of the log was
a Pile of brush under which, it is
the theory the body was concealed.
Raspberry and Tucker had had
considerable trouble, it is said, on
account of Tucker having caused a
disturbance IN Raspberry's family.
1t is claimed that Raspberry had
been seen with his gun in the bot
tom near where the murder is sup
posed to have been committed, and
later with his wagon in the same
place.
(Later-The decomposed body Of
Tucker has been found under some
logs with marks on the head show
ing chat he came to his death by
violent means.)
