WRECK AT CASTLE ROCK.
Runaway Freight Cars Strike Passen-
DER Train.

Denver June 2S.-Breaking in two
while climbing steep ascent into
Castle Rock yesterday morning, part
of a heavy freight train on the Colo
RADIO & Southern railroad shot back
ward down the grade with frightful
speed. crashed into a passenger train,
killed Fireman Frank McAdams Of
Denver and slightly injured a dozen
passengers.
The engine of the passenger train,
on which McAdams was working, was
totally wrecked. The first car of the
train was badly damaged. The engi-
neer jumped in time to save his life.
McAdams had both legs cut off and
died shortly after being picked up
from beneath the wreck.
In the runaway freight were thirty
cars and a majority of these were in
the detached section. When they
struck the ill-fated passenger train
they knocked four of the five coaches
from the track. The engine of tho
passenger was almost buried beneath
the wreckage The accident happened
at about 10 O'Clock, the passenger
leaving Denver at 9:15 o'clock over
the Santa Fe tracks.
Wreckage and debris were strewn
all about the tracks, which were not
cleared until near evening. A dozen
of the freight cars were thrown down
an embankment and piled up on
one another in indescribable confusion.
Wrecking trains from Denver finally
opened the lines.
McAdams the fireman who was
killed. had been engaged in various
branches of railroad work for period
of twenty-five years and had never be-
fore met with an accident.
He was forty-two years old and re-
sided with his wife and fve-year-old
daughter Vertie at 2433 Fourteenth
street

uaton at Harvard-Greeted Sim
ply az One of the Alumni,

Cambridge. Mass, June 28.-Join-
ing with his former college mates yes
terday In celebrating the twenty-fifth
anniversary OF the graduation of their
class from Harvard. President Roose-
welt returned to his alma mater not
as the chief magistrate Of the nation.
but as a private citizen and q loyal
Harvard alumnus
Although the ancient University OF
Harvard would have been glad to pay
him all the honor due his high Office,
it was the Presidents request that he
be regarded merely as member of
the class of 80 rather than as Presl-
dent of the United States. Neverthe-
less. students, alumni and the citi-
zens of Cambridge united in giving
him hearty greeting as he drove
through the streets of the city.
The Presidents day was busy one.
Arriving at Boston at quarter before
in the morning, he was driven to
the Cambridge residence of Right
Rev. William L. Lawrence, Episcopal
bishop of Massachusetts, where he is
being entertained. The bishop is pres
ident of the Harvard Alumni Associa-
ton. Breakfast was served at the
bishops home and among those pres
ent, in addition to the President and
Private Secretary Loeb. were the pres
idents son Kermit. who came from
Groton school; President Charles w.
Eliot Of Harvard University, Judge
Francis c. Lowell of the United States
Circuit Court, and Rev. Samuel Croth-
ers, pastor of the First Parish (Uni-
tarian) Church of Cambridge.
During the forenoon President
Roosevelt visited the rooms of the
Alpha Delta Phi Society, the Harvard
stadium and the Chestnut Hill resi-
dence of George c. Lee. father of the
Presidents first wife. The President
was then driven to the Oakley Coun-
try Club in Watertown, where the
class of 80 held an informal reunion
and luncheon was served.
A photograph of the class was taken
and also photograph of the members
of the class who belonged to the same
student dining club as did the Presi-
dent OF the 166 members of the
class of 80, 100 have registered at
class headquarters, representing
nearly every state in the Union.
At night the President attended the
banquet Of the class of 80 at the
Hotel Somerset in Boston.

Chinese Feel Bitter.

Peking, June 2S.-The question of
Chinese exclusion from the United
States continues chiefly to occupy the
attention of the Chinese. The extent
and depth of the feeling manifested as
tonished foreigners and is regarded as
an evidence of the growth of national
sentiment of public spirit which five
years ago would have been inconceiv-
able
Among many instances cited as evil
dence of this. it is said that Chinese
comprador has refused lucrative ap-
pointment with an American company;
advertisements of American goods con-
tinue to be refused by the native news.
papers and letters and kilograms from
all parts of China, as well as from
abroad, are being received, u.ging the
central government to take firm
stand.

FIGHTING At WARSAW.
Streets Barricaded and Revolutionary
ProcIamations Posted.

Warsaw, June &c. - Disorderly
crowds have thronged the streets since
early this morning. They erected
.barricades at Ogrodowa, krochmalna
and Wronia streets, on top Of which
they placed red flags. The police and
soldiers stormed these barracks and
ten persons were wounded by bullets
'or bayonets. Another affray took
place at Zenazna street, where Cos
sacks charged the crowd and wounded
three persons. In the central market
a crowd attacked a patrol with re-
volvers. to which the patrol replied
with volleys. killing boy and wound
ing three other persons. Five work
men who had refused to strike were
stabbed to death by their comrades.
Revolutionary proclamations have
been posted on the walls and 200 per-
sons have been arrested.
A heavy rain fell all day and this
is believed to have prevented more
serious collisions.
The Social Democrat party and the
Jewish Bund announce that the fight
SSainst the government must continue,
but it is believed that with the present
show of military force the situation
will be controlled. Thirty-four bat
talions of infantry are stationed in the
town.
A bomb was thrown last night at a
carriage occupied by the chief of po-
lice. X. NJ. Pavloff. of the town OF

ARRESTED in BOSTON.
Colorado Mining Man Prosecuted by
Creditors.

Boston, June 2S.-Henry w. Com
stock, the mine operator who recently
reported to the police that he had
been robbed of securities valued at
$120, 900 from a Fall River boat, was
held for the grand jury yesterday on
the charge of larceny of two $1,000
bonds. Bail was fixed at $4,000. Mr.
Comstock declared that he would
make no endeavor to secure bondsmen
and he was committed to Jail. Mrs.
Cora rockingham of Atlantic Massa-
chusetts, is the complainant.
James E. Hickey. manager of the
United States hotel. and James Martin
Gray. of New York. who have been
appointed assignees of Comstock's
property, to-day found $315,000 worth
of stock of the Ute Creek gold mine,
the Reta Alta copper mine and the
Pactolus gold mine. all situated in
Colorado. and notes for $4,000 Sc
cured by collateral Of the stocks. The
assignees have no definite knowledge
of the amount of liabilities. but conjec-
ture they will reach 100000. The
Reta Alta mine is the only one of the
properties being operated. and it is
said Comstock has invested S15O,0OO
in this mine during the past eighteen
months.
1t appears that Comstock has been
doing a brokerage business in stand
ard stocks, but no securities other
than those of his Colorado mines were
found in his safe.
There are about sixty-five creditors
in this state and almost all OF these
are women.

also making contracts for the shipment
