Passenger Train Meets Obstruction
Near Boomers Ferry, Idaho-A Boy

Postal Clerk Lang Seriously Injur-
ed-Engineer Brokaw Drowned.

Boomers Ferry, Idaho, June 4-The
eastbound Great Northern passenger
train was struck by a rock slide eight
miles east of here Saturday afternoon
and the engine plunged into the Koot-
enai river. Engineer Peter Brokaw
of Spokane was drowned. He swan
down the river for quarter of a mile,
but no one could rescue him. Fireman
A. G. Baumister was hurt and Mail
Clerk Philip Lang was SO badly injur-
ed he may die.
John Ross, Is year old boy, who
was beating his way on the tank of
the engine, saved the firemans life.
The fireman's clothes were pinned un-
der the engine, and the boy pulled him
free with the aid of a shovel and then
assisted him to shore.
The wreck was caused by rocks slid.
ing down and showing the engine into
the river. The engine was completely
submerged in about 80 feet of water,
and the mail and two baggage cars
went off the track and part way down
the bank. Fireman Baumister says he
noticed rocks coming down and shout
ed to Engineer Brokaw, who applied
the emergency brakes, but the rocks
were too close and hit the tender

Engineer Brokaw was washed out
Of his cab and tried to swim ashore
but, the current being very strong and
no ropes or logs being available, he
sank in sight of about 300 passengers

ENORMOUS COST OF WAR.
Russia $1o,ooo,ooo a Week-Japan
Somewhat Less.

The war between Russia and Japan
has been going on little less than 16
months and has increased the debt of
the two countries at least $1,000,000,-
900. According to an estimate made
some time ago, the direct cost of the
war to Russia was about $10,000,000 a
week, which would give the total up to
this time at little less than $700,000,-
900. Undoubtedly, however, the cost
of the war has increased since that
estimate was made, so that very likely
the above amount has been exceeded,
possibly by fully $1OO,000,OOO.
Japan's war expenditure has been
somewhat less than that of Russia, due
in part to the fact that she did not
have to transport her armies and mill
tary supplies so long distance. More
over, Japan has not bought supplies
abroad on so large a scale as Russia
and thus effected a considerable saw
ing. The Japanese soldier does not re-
quire as much food as the Russian, and
the commissary department of a great
army is tremendous source of eX-
pense. AS to munitions of war the ex-
penditures of the two countries have
probably been about equal, though ia
pan is understood to have manufac-
tured at a small cost considerable
part of what she has used. Doubtless
reasonable estimate of the pecuniary
cost of the war to Japan is 100000
900, making for the two nations ap-
proximately $1,5OO,0OO,0OO,
But the money cost of the conflict
is inconsequential in comparison, with
the loss of life and the want and suf-
fering which this means to hundreds
of thousands of widows and orphans.
This is the deplorable aspect of the
war which is moving the civilized
world to urge that the destructive con-
flict be terminated.

FOR PEACE.

Peace in the far east was the subject
of another conference at Washington
between the president and Mr.. Taxa
hira, the Japanese minister. 1t was
the third conference on this subject
which the president had had during the
day.
Accompanied by Count Hirosama,
a Japanese nobleman, who 10 travelling
in this country; by Commander Taxa
shita, the Japanese naval attache, and
four Japanese naval officers, who are
here on their way from Toxic to Eng
land to inspect the work on Japanese
warshlps now under construction in
British shipy yards, Mr.. Takahira called
at the White House shortly after 9
O'Clock Monday night.
Naturally the president was greatly
interested to meet the Japanese visit
ors, and gave them a most cordial re-
ception. This, however, did not last
long, and soon, the visitors took their
departure, leaving the president and
Mr.. Takahira free to talk peace.
Thus far the minister as not been
able to tell the president, except in the
most general and unofficial way, what
Japan is likely to demand of Russia
when the latter can be brought to dis
cuss peace. Even the minister himself
has no idea what Japan's indemnity
may amount to. The president was
unable to give Mr.. Takahira any init
nation of how Russia has viewed the
humiliation of her feet, and until
Count Cassini's report on his visit to
the White House has been replied to
by St. Petersburg no further progress
toward peace can be made in that
direction.
Regarding the general situation it
can be announced that Europe regards
the president as the most available
medium for the preliminary commune
cations between st. Petersburg and
Toxic, and Count Cassini, the Russian
ambassador, and Mr.. TAX hira are both
convinced of the presidents sincerity
and friendliness to both belligerents in
his conferences regarding the ending
of the war.
The president, it is believed will en-
deavor to keep Japan's terms within
reasonable bounds, and the close rela-
lions of Emperor William to the car,
it is suggested, will enable the German
sovereign to advise the czar with
frankness that even the Washington
government could not assume.
Mr.. Takahira says that "Tokio is al.
ways for peace, but, he added signifi-
cantly, Russia must realize the pres
ent situation in all its seriousness and
be prepared to face it,"

IDAHO SQUlBBS.

Idaho State Land Commissioner G..
]. Munson has been notified by the
state land department at Boise that
his criminal case against the Lewis
Lumber company of Occur d'Alene for
alleged illegal cutting of timber from
state lands has been dismissed.
The verdict rendered by the coro-
ner's jury on the death of R. S. Car
mes, who was electrocuted when the
telephone wire he was assisting in
stringing came in contact with the
heavy voltage wire of the Washington
Water Power company, will probably
result in an investigation being made
by the authorities as to whether the
two lines are too close together.
The people of Nez Perez, Idaho, and
Asotin counties have raised by popu-
lar subscription nearly 100000, and
have been given guarantee that this
amount of money assures them an
electric line from Lewiston to Grange
vine, with branch line to Nez Perez.
Work has already been started on this
line in Tammany gulch.
A remarkable find of prehistoric an
imal remains has been made where
the government is building dam in
the Snake river near Minidoka for rec
lamation purposes. In excavating a
diversion channel, the engineers have
cut through IL feet of lava. Below this
is bed of sand from six to eight feet
thick and below that another lava flow.
The bones are in the sand. In a
space rs feet square four species were
met with. The skull of horned ami
NAL was found, the horns spreading
six feet from tip to tip. While being
removed the skull crumbled. but the
horns are perfect. They resemble those
of the musk OK. A tusk like that of
an elephant has been taken out that
is SO inches long. Another find is a
lower jaw resembling the jaw of a
horse. 1t is perfectly preserved and is
about the size of the Jaw of a fully
developed horse. F. c. Horn, the en-
gineer in charge, has sent some of the
specimens to Washington. He has
been informed that it has been impos.
sible to classify some of them. The
find promises to be of much scientific
value.

Caused a Sensation.

st. Petersburg, June o. Emperor
Nichola' s ukas virtually creating Gov
ernor General Trepoff dictator has
given rise to a mighty sensation. 1t is
the imperial recognition of the crisis
in the internal affairs in Russia, and
instinctively recalls the step taken by
the emperor's grandfather, Alexadner
H., Immediately after the attempt to
blow up the winter palace in 1880,
when he appointed a commission of
public safety, headed by General Loris
Melikoff, except that the position of
General Trepoff will be more analogous
to that occupied by Loris Melikoff.
when later, in the same year, he was
appointed minister of the interior,
with full control of the police.
Buried in the columns of the Official
Messenger and coming without warn
ing, the ukas is as yet known only to
the initiated.
The decision to place in the hands of
the strongest executive in Russia,
which Trepoff is universally recognized
as being, the power to crush with an
iron grasp the political agitation
which has brought Russia almost to
the brink of revolution, according to
public belief, is the fruit Of Pobliedon-
osteff's visit to the czar, for so far as
can be learned, not single one of the
ministers was in the secret.
The ukase came like bolt from a
clear sky. M. Bouligan, minister of
tho irto o0r11 fon no +
ton and Immediately resigned, and it
is not improbable that other ministers
will follow suit.
1t is rumored in the city that Count
Lamsdorff, the foreign minister, has
already placed his resignation in the
hands of the emperor, and that he will
be succeeded by M. Muravieff, former
Minister of justice and now ambassador
at Rome. Admiral Alexieff has also
demanded the acceptance of his dennis
sion.
To find precedent for the ,resigna-
tion Ut minister as protest against
imperial action it is necessary to go
back to the designations of Ministers
Loris Melikoff, Milutin and Ignatieff,
when. after the assassination of Alex
ander H., Alexander III. repudiated
the liberal maintenance of the autu.
cracy and Of orthodoxy, which, stirred
the chancellories of Europe to such
depths that it lasted until the present
liberal agitation began.
M. Sturmor, an extreme reactionary,
who belongs to the Won Plehve school,
it is. commonly reported at this writ
ing, will succeed M. Bouligan as min
lister of the interior but it matters lit
tie who may succeed to that portfolio,
as its holder will be a subordinate to
General Trepoff in all matters affect
ing politics.
1t 81 stated on high authority that
Trepoff's appointment only tells half
the story and that there is a brighter
side to the picture.
AS intimated, it will come in the
shape of an imperial manifesto, and
will Immediately realize the popular
demand for parliamentary regime by
craeting legislative assembly consist
ing of two houses. The lower house
will be called the gosudarstvennaia
douma, imperial douma," and the
upper house gosudarstvennaia SOVIET, or
the present council of the empire.
