CHANGE FOR TWO KINGDOMS.
Korea and Norway Both Changed
Control.

Korea and Norway Both Changed
Control.
The past week has been an eventful
one for two of the smaller nations of
the world. Korea has passed under
Japanese protection and control, and
Norway has resumed her ancient rank
among the independent kingdoms.
The Korean emperor remains the
head of the Hermit empire, but the
real authority will be exercised by a
Japanese administrator.
Had Russia won in that war Korea
would have become a Russian prov
ince. Japan having won, it becomes a
japanese protectorate.
Under the resascence in Norway
that kingdom will have an opportunity
to pursue the paths of her own choos-
ing and to work out her own individ-
ual destiny, which she was not able
to do when united with Sweden. Her
king has been welcomed to his throne
by his people and has been felicitated
on his accession by the rulers of other
nations. That there is no unfriendly
feeling with Sweden is manifested by
the announcement that King Haakon' S
| first formal visit will be to the king
of Sweden. Let the revived kingdom
have peace and prosperity is the wish
of the world.

KILLED In A Wreck
EIGHTEEN PRISONS MET HORRI-

Wreck Occurred Near Lincoln, Mass
Passenger Train Crashed Into Ac-
People lnJured-signals Could Not

Lincoln, Mass, 27.-Eighteen per
sons were killed. 80 or more were seri-
ously injured. and probably score of
others cut and bruised in the most dis
astrous railroad wreck recorded in this
state for many years. The wreck
occurred at Sis o'clock at Bakers
Bridge station, mile and half west
Of Lincoln, on the main line OF the
Fitchburg division of the Boston &
Maine railroad. The regular Sunday
express which left Boston at 7:45
o'clock for. Montreal by way of the
Rutland system, crashed into the rear
end of an accommodation train bound
for points on the Marlborough branch,
and which started from Boston at 7:15.
OF the dead, dozen we're passen-
gers in the two rear cars of the MARI
borough train. The other two were
Engineer Barnard, of the Montreal ex-
press, and his fireman. No passengers
on the express train were injured. OF
those who lost their lives, a NUMBER
were apparently instantly killed in the
collision, while others we're either
1 burned to death or died from suffoca

There were 10 persons taken from
the wreck and three died after being
removed. Three of the bodies were
headless. Two skulls were found at

head with a full beard was picked up

THEISTHMIAN CANAL
ENGINEERS ESTIMATE TEE COST
AT S23O,O0O,OOO.
Boards of Consulting Engineers De-
clare for Sea Level Canal--lt Means
Some Delay-,Ime Required TO Fin
ish Ditch at Panama viii Be More
Than Ten Years.

Washington.-The board OF consult |
ing engineers of the isthmian canal
has declared itself by a
large majority in favor of a sea level
canal The conclusion was reached
after a long and careful study Of the
projects.
Since the beginning Of September
the board had held meetings and in
special subcommittee had studied the
plans for sea level canal with the
greatest care.
A trip to Panama was made to
enable the members to form a better
idea of the physical difficulties which
had to be considered. The members
of the board are men of the greatest
reputation in their line of work Ger
many, France and Holland had sent
their most eminent specialists at the
request of this government. At the
beginning it was evident that a major
ity of these members were in favor
of a sea level canal. Their point of
view was that even il it cost more
than a lock canal, and would take
longer in the building. it would ulti-
mately be of greater use, as it will
enable ships to make much quicker
trip than if they were obliged to go
through three or four locks.
On the other hand was a minority
which wanted to see the canal built
in as short a time as possible and
with the least cost, declaring that a
few hours longer for the trip through
the isthmus made little or no differ
ence.
No official statement will be given
out before the decision reaches Presi-
dent Roosevelt, avout January.
Will Cost $2so,ooo, 900.
The cost of the sea level canal at
Panama is estimated by the board
of consulting engineers at about $780,
100000. Although this amount seems
much larger than the amount neces-
sary with the construction of a lock
canal, it is claimed by the advocates
of the sea level plan to be in reality
only comparatively slightly higher. 1t
was pointed out in the meetings OF
the board that the lock canal would
necessitate between $SOOOO,0OO and
$4O,OOOOOO payment for the, private
grounds and the lands belonging tC
the republic of Panama which would
be inundated by the lock system. This
item, in view of the majority of thu
board, is entirely done away with b.
the adoption of the sea level canal.
