WAS taken from one Of the Denver
papers oorroborates the statements
Published by The Tribune to the
eject that the coal mines Of the coun.
ty will settle down to normal condi.
tion and work under full head of
steam. The item follows:
Colorado COAL miners will have
steadier employment this summer
than they have had during the warm
season for years. All the coal mines
in the state owned and operated by
the Colorado Fuel and Iron company
and the Victor Fuel company will
work full forces. owing to the demand
for coal which will be created by the
opening Of . new market in Eastern
NebrAska and Kansas by the reduction
Of railroad freight rates on oosl
May 1.
"The various lines operating be
tween the Colorado coal fields and
Nebraska and Kansas common points
have reduced the rate on coal 25
cents per ton.
Tho Colorado Fuel and Iron coal
camps 1t Goal Greek. Rookvala and
elsewhere. which have employed but

mer. will have full quota Of en-.
ployes and hundreds of the unem ploy-
ed will BIZ put to work. Florence
Trinidad and all towns adjacent to
coal districts will be benefited, and
the states business will be increased
materially.
THE reason for making . reduction
In the freight rates has not been ex.
planned by the railroads. but It 10
supposed that they have done 10 to
stimulate freight business and give
the Colorado GOAL concerns AN oppor.
tunity to compete for trade In other
markets.
1.-THE railroad men say that the
tariffs have not been issued and
that there IL no connection between
this reduction and the proposed re.

NAY BE NO SPECIAL SESSION

strong Pressure II Being Brought
to Bear to Induce the Presi-

Oyster Bay. N X, Aug. 14.-Not-
1lthstsnding the more or less definite
announcement which has emalsted
from various sources during the last
few L.onths. congress may 10. be
called into extraordinary session next
Nort mber. Indeed, the indications are
now that no extraordinary session will
be held this year
This statement is made on the au-
thority of President Roosevelt hlms elf.
He has not decided the question def
nitely vet, and probably will not reach
eecision of it until he shall have re-
turned to Washington the latter part
Of September. The chances Of an ex-
traordinary session appear, however. to
be fading.
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear upon the president to induce him
not to call an extra session. So much
interest has been manifested in the sub
1ect throughout the country that the
president has received al large number
of letters regarding it. Many senators
and representatives have urged against
an extra session. They point out that
practically nothing will be gained by
an extra session that will begin not
more than three weeks before the open
ing of the regular long session, and
that it will cause some inconvenience
to many members of congress in both
branches. Taking these things into con-
sideration, the president has reserved a
definite decision of the matter.

THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
Three of Japanese Articles Agreed
to by Russians.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 14.-Al-
though very rapid progress was made
with the peace negotiations today, three
of the twelve articles which constitute
the Japanese conditions of peace hav-
ing been agreed to by M. Witte and
Baron Rosen on behalf of Russia,
neither of the two articles to which M.
Witte in his reply returned an absolute
negative was reached.
The crisis, therefore, is still to come.
1t may be reached tomorrow as the ces-
sion of Sakhalin comes fifth in the list.
The three articles, !" as they are officially
designated in the brief communications
authorized to be given to the press,
which were disposed of today are in
substance as follows:
First t-Russia's recognition of Japan's
''preponderating influence" and special
position in Korea, which Russia hence
forth agrees as outside of her sphere of
influence, Japan binding herself to re-
cognize the sovereignty of the reign
ing family, but right to give advice and
assistance to improve civil administra-
tion of the Empire
Second Mutual obligation to evaeu-
ate Manchuria, each to surrender all
special privileges in that province, mu.
tual obligations to respect the terri
torial integrity" of China and to main
tain the principle of equal opportunity
for the commerce and industry of all

Chautauqua, N. r. Aug. 12.-PresI-

grounds he said:
THE MONROE DOCTRINE is not a

fundamental feature Of our entire for
eign policy in the western hemisphere.
Fossiltzation means death, wheth-
er to an individual, to a governs
ment, or to a doctrine.
The Monroe Doctrine must not be
considered merely an excuse for ter
ritorial aggression Nor must it be used
for the evasion of just debts.

LICE POWER IS AS NECESSARY
AS BROTHERLY LOVE.
The effort to prevent all restraint of
competition has been ill-iudged.
WHAT is NEEDED is yigiIant and
effective control of combinations
formed.
Reasonable regulation must be sub
mitted to or government action of
more drastic type must be taken.

In interstate commerce should be

WE MAY HAVE TO FORCE all cor
porations engaged in interstate com
merce to produce proof that they are
in no monopoly in restraint of trade,
or il failing to do so, forfeit their char
ters.
Some of the exceptional men uss
their energies in ways that are not for
the common good, and by so do
|1lng they not only wrong smaller and
less able men-whether wage-workers
or small producers and traders-but
force other men of exceptional abili-
ties themselves to do what is wrong
under penalty of falling behind in the
keen race for success.

persons. while at least rs others were
injured. eight Of whom will probably
die The wreck, according to the off,
cials of the company, was caused by
misunderstanding of orders, or neglect
to obey them on the part Of the crew

Aside from the engineer, the men
lllled on the passenger train
were all riding in the smok-
ing car at the head of the train and
were mostly foreign laborers, in the en-
ploy of the Standard Oil Co. on their
way from Fort Seneca to Brooktield, O.,
in charge of foreman. Engineer c. 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, Haef-
ner, saved himself by jumping.
The high speed of the passenger train
threw its locomotive and first three
coaches over on the engine of the
freight train, telescoping the smoker
and the car following. The forward
cars of the freight train were spEntered
to fragments.
Of the passengers in the smoker, none
escaped injury. Fortunately there was
no fire, but the heavy timbers of the
wrecked cars pinned down many and
prevented them from getting out until
assistance arrived.

occurred, doctors were sent on special
train to the scene from Lorain.
The injured were hurried to Lorain
and placed in the hospital there. The
dead were conveyed 70 the morgue at
Lorain, awaiting Identification and dis
position.
When the trains came together, al
most everybody in the smoker was doz-
ing. 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, pinning down
each passenger in the position 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 sleep
ers, and they withstood the shock
without suffering serious harm. No
passengers in the sleepers were injured.
