Washington, June 25.-The ad-
ministratiou has about reached
the conclusion that hope of an
armistice between Russia and Japan
before the assembling of peace pleni-
potentiaries in Washington must be
abandoned, In view Of this conclu-
sion, new representations have been
made by President Roosevelt to both
belligerents with view to having
them decide quickly upon the earliest
practicable date for the initial session
of the peace conferees. Some diff
Guilty in securing an early response
from Russia to these representations
is being encountered through the fact
that Count Lamsdorff, Russian min
lister for foreign affairs, is i'll.

The flyer was going perhaps 70 miles
an hour through the little Ohio town.
But directly in front Of the depot
the locomotive veered. The train vas
checked and then piled on top of the
etgine, which had plunged into an
open switch.
The station was partially wrecked
and the broken train staggered on I'M
til 1t struck the freight house, a few
hundred feet further on. The heavy
timbers stopped the engine, and it
turned over on its side.
Relief Train Sent Out.
The town, with its l 900 inhabitants,
was awakened by the terrific shock.
The wreck caught fire, and the res
cuers fought with the flames to recover
the dead and rescue the wounded.
Few people in the forward car, a
combination smoker and baggage car,
escaped death or injury.
Cleveland was quickly notified and a
relief train bearing doctors and nurses
was hurried to the scene. The injured
were brought to this city.
Switch Tempered with.
Supt. Moon gave out this statement:
1T looks like malicious interference
Three-quarters of an hour before the
limited was due, train No. 10, a. fas
passenger, went through here Th'
switches we're all right then, and the
train went through without stopping
"The conductor of the wrecked trail
found that the switch was open ans
locked open. have no theory as t
how the switch became open, but tn
wrecked train showed that some ON
tempered with the switch"
Conductor Alexander Campbell o
the wrecked train made a statemen
which completely bore out that o
Moon.
a Graphic Description.
One Of the passengers gives thi
graphic description of the train afte
tha accident:
"Only one car, the observation in tn
rear of the train, remained on tn
track The combination car and tn
first sleeper were doubled up in tn
form of a jack-knife by the terribl
shock, while the heavy iron and tim
bers were wrenched in every conceiN
able shape"
According to reports, the fire, whic
added horror to the wreck, was due
the explosion of the boiler of the bi
engine. The combination car, part
on top of the engine, was at once
mass of flames, the shrieks of the in
prisoned passengers rising above tn
roaring flames The Mentor fire d.
partment quickly responded, but coul
do little to check the flames
Many of the dead were so bad
burned as to make recognition diff
cult, almost impossible.

poa Foil. Dynamite Plot.

Thermopolis. Wyo.. July 29.-An In
teresting story is told OF the manner
in which the deposits OF dynamite
were found under the cabin Of the lato
Bob" Mccoy. the cattleman who was
recently assassinated and his body
cast into the Big Horn river.
The dynamite. consisting Of six large
sticks. with q long fuse attached. was
placed under the house, and directly
under the room in which Mccoy slept.
While the plotters were waiting to
spring their death trap McCoy's dog
dug q hole under the corner OF the
house and exposed the fuse. Mccoy
found the fuse and dug 1t up.
It has developed that the assassins
intended to blow Mccoy up several
days before the dog uncovered the
fuse, but In the meantime the cattle
man engaged a housekeeper. and not
wishing to kill her. the plotters were
awaiting time when Mccoy could
be caught in the house alone. The
dogs curiosity foiled their plans. but
they finally succeeded in numbering
the unfortunate ranchman.

The Retirinu Governor,

In these days when the new Le.isla-
ture and the new State administration
are occupying most of the public at
tenticn. it is fitting that Il word be
said as to the man who returns to
private life after filling for four years
the highest office in the gift of the
people of Maine. The testimonial
banquet rendered to Governor Hill.
Monday evening. had nothing forced or
pcrfunctory in its conception or OK
ecutiOn. 1t was the spontaneous and
ship and esteem from those most
closely associated with the Chief
Executive. The same is true of the
words heard spoken on all sides these
days. whenever Governor Hills name is
mentioned or the subject of the outgo-
ing administration is brought into the
conversation.
1t is not too much to say that no man
ever retired from the govcrnorship of
Maine with a better record or with the
warmer regard of the people of the
State at large than Governor Hill pos
scsscs. His administration has been
busincss-likc in all respects and abso-
lutcly free from any faint of scandal;
his appointments have been wisely
made and have been exceptionally
| popular: in his own bearing he has
never failed tn show the dignity be-
| fitting his nigh office. and he has
| shown on all occasions a tact. con-
| sidcration and courtesy which has
given him Il strong and lasting hold
upon the hearts of the thousands who
| have met him. In the heat of politi-
cal campaigns the most active political
opponent has never found a spot to
attack in the private life or public
| record of John F. Hill.
Since 1889 Governor Hill has given
| freely of his time. energy and ability to
| tho public service. Serving two terms
| in each branch of the Legislature ard
also in the Executive Council before
he was promoted to the sovernorship
in 1900 he has given to each task as he
cane TO it the same hard work and the
| conscientious attention which has
made him in his private business at
fairs ono of the most successful men of
our State He has earned and takes
with him. as he retires from the gov
ernorship. tie gratitude and good
wishes Of all his fellow citizens.

The PRESIDING Officers.

One of the frss ana most pleasant
duties of the two branches of the I'D
Legislature when they meet for the
formal organization. this forenoon. VIII
be the ratification Of the nominations
made in the Republican caucuses. last
evening. And OF these nominations,
the most important were those for pre-
siding officer in the two bodies. With
president of the Senate and Morrill, n.
Drew. Esq. of Portland as speaker of
the House. both bodies are assured OF
presiding officers eminently qualified
in all respects for the work before
them. Both are young men. but both
have had good Legislative experience.
Both are lawyers and men OF classical
education, trained in debate and par
liamentary practice and possessing the
necessary personal qualifications for
their new positions.
Mr.. Goodwin was an active member
Of the last Senate and had previously
served in the House. He was born in
Skowhegan where he has practiced law
for - years. He has also served as
postmaster of Skowhegan and was for
a time in Washington as a clerk to
Speaker Reed. His experience at the
national Capital will be particularly
valuable to him since it gave him par
jamentary training under the man who
is recognized as the greatest American
authority in that line. Mr.. Drew has
had an unusually long service in the
House as this is his fourth term. and
such an experience makes him particu-
larry we'll fitted to take up the duties
of the spcakership. Like Mr.. Good
win he is ~ years of age. He was
born in ArOostook county where he
practiced law and served two terms as
county attorney before removing to
Portland.
Both bodies had large number OF
| well qualified men to choose from. but
both have chosen wisely in selecting
their presiding officers: and with good
presiding officers chosen the best kind
of Il beginning is made OH the winters
work. These officials are in It position
to exercise much influence on legisla-
ton. and it is a matter of congratulation
that they are not only men of tact,
| fairness. experience and ability, but
that they are also men of clean records
and honest purposes whose highest
aim is faithfully to perform their duty
to the State as a whole.
