ST.. LOUIS, June 24.-The express

Hunger For Land Decreasing.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Officials of
the general land Office say that the en-.
tries at the various local land offices
in the public land states for the first
nine months Of the present fiscal year
show q decrease of 20, 400 entries and
in receipts s2.2l6, 1884 from the business
for the first nine months of the pre-
vious year. The statistics show an
increase, however, in area disposed
of. aggreg ating l,026,5777 acres.
The several reasons given for the
decrease in the number of entries Of
public lands at the department are
the decrease in the "fever" of tn e
public to acquire public lands: the
big rush of 1903 in which vast areas
were gobbled up and the natural re-
action from that rush, and finally the
withdrawal of millions of acres for
forest reserve and irrigation purposes.
The increase in area, Chief Clerk
Macey says. is due TO the passage of
the kincaid law, which allowed the
entering of q whole section Of GAO
acres instead of 100 acres.

Perish OF Thirst In De scrt

SAN FRANCISCO, June 222.-A special
to the Examiner from Goldfeld, New,
says: W. H. Clark, of Baker City,
Ore, with his wife, arrived in Gold.
field today and brought story of
death from the lower desert seldom
equaled. He says that party of
pros pec.or, crossing the edge of Death
valley, between the Panamint and
Funeral ranges of mountains, came
across a party of nine men and three
burros. Seven of the men and all of
the burros were dead.
The two survivors were in pitiable
condition. Their tongues were swol-
leo SO that they protruded from their
mouths and the action of the heat had
so stiffened their limbs that they had
to be carried on the backs of the res.
cuers' animals.
No details can be obtained at pres.
ent, and it is doubtful if the two men
rescued can live. The bodies of the
dead were partially covered by sand
and recognition was impossible. The
burros lay dead with their packs
strapped to them and it is certain that
the party had become lost in their
vain search for water in that dry al.
kali stretch of desert.

Governor Carter Resigns.

HONOLULU, June 23. - Governor
Carter mailed his resignation to
President Roosevelt on "Wednesday.
He will leave here on June % for
Washington to discuss the matter of
his retirement from the governorship.
He has been in cable correspondence
with the president regarding it and
has received permission to go to the
capitol for personal interview.
Governor Carter says he has urged
President Roosevelt to accept his
resignation and appoint a successor.
His action, it is declared, was not due
to the election of A. Nj. Brown as
high sheriff, but had been under con.
sidera,ion for some time. It was first
written Out on June 6, but was held
on the advice of friends who asked
him not to send it to Washington.

Official Charged N;,h irauI

PHILADELPHIA, June 23.-Fur the
second time this week, John W. Hill,
former chief OF the bureau of tiltra-
tion, was arrested today on charges
of forgery aud Justification of certain
books and papers for the purpose OF
defrauding the city of Philadelphia.
After a hearing lasting nearly six
hours he was held in $4,000 bail for
trial. His arrest today was great
surprise, coming so closely on his
statement Of innocence of forgery and
Justification of records, on which
charges he was held In IS, 600 bal! on
Wednesday.
The principal witness against MIR.
Hill was S. G. Barrett, a former em-
ploye of the filtration bureau. Evi.
dence was produced tending to show
that estimates of the work done by
Daniel j. McNichols, a contractor,
were padded, and that the city was
defrauded out OF about $4,000. Coun-
sci for the defense claimed that the
evidence produced did not prove Mr..
Hill guilty of the offenses charged.

Train Robbers Disappointed.

TACOMA. June 23.-Train robbers
made an unsuccessful attempt to hold
up the North Coast Limited from the
Twin Cities tonight, three miles west
OF Puyallup. One man boarded the
train at Puy yallup and when the train
was two miles from the station, or.
dered the engineer to stop the train at
fire that was burning near the track
short distance ahead.
Engineer Keywood did not stop the
train until half mile beyond the fire.
Brakeman Harkins ran up to the en-
gine to see what the trouble was
and the bandit shot at him. Harkins
threw his lantern into the ditch and
started back for the train. The ban.
dit then ordered the engineer and con-
ductor to get out of the way while he
made an attempt to back the train to
the fire where his confederate was sta.
toned.
He was unable to get the engine to
start and called for the engineer to
come back. The robber then began
to realize his position and as the en-
gineer stepped into the cab he fired
twice, one bullet hattening on the
boilerhead. The bandit then jumped
to the ground and ran into the brush.
The train pulled into Tacoma. leaving

Nine Wounded BY Lunatic.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2l.-A man
who registered as Thomas Lobb this
morning barricaded himself in his
room on the fifth floor of the United
States hotel at 1870 o'clock, and,
armed with shotgun and revolver,
began firing from the window at pas.
sers by. Nine persons, including a
policeman, were shot. After having
used up most of his ammunition the
man turned the revolver on himself.
He placed the barrel of the weapon in
his month and blew the top of his head
off.
The ould.be.murderer, who is un-
known to the local attaches, registered
at the hotel last night as Thomas
Lobb, but gave no address. He APP
peared entirely rational when shown
to a room and was quiet during the
night He rose this morning at time
when the streets were filled with peo.
pie going to work.
Without warning he started firing
from the window. The police We're
notified and thirty officers hurried to
the scene. The street was cleared of
pedestrians and number of officers
entered the hotel, rushing up to the
mans room. They hammered on the
door and the maniac fired at them
with the shotgun, several shots strik-
ing one Of the officers. The officers
continued to batter the door, against
which Lobb had placed his bed. They
had succeeded in breaking the lock
and were in fair way of getting the
bed out of the way when Lobb, per.
ceiving another officer rapidly ap.
preaching his room on the fire escape,
placed the pistol in his mouth and
blew off the top of his head. When
the officer on the fire escape entered the
room the man was dead.

proposition for the date Of the meet.

Zig Gun is Too Costly.

NEW YORK, June 26.--The ordnance
experts of the United States army have
practically decided that the l6.iuch
gun, from which so much was expect.
ed, is not practicable as weapon,
and decision by the war department
to abandon the weapon is anticipated.
Only one of these guns has been made
so far and that one Is at Sandy Hook.
The experiments, while showing that
the gun could DO all that was expected
OF it in one way, have nevertheless
convinced the experts that as wea.
pom it is too costly.
The government had planned to
build 40 such guns, Is to be placed at
Sandy Hook, 10 at San Francisco,
eight at Boston and four at Hampton
Roads. The great point made for the
gun was that its projectile would sink
q battleship if hit. Its range was
about q miles. The projectile is 81
inches long and weighs 1870 pounds.
In early experiments it was found that
more than half ton of powder, cost.
ing $3.50, was needed to fire the pro.
iectile. The latter cost 5000. About
three times as many men were required
to handle the l6.inch gun as were
needed TO care for l2.inch.

SWITCH WAS OPEN.
Mystery Surrounds Frightful Wreck On
Lake Shore Railroad,

CLEVELAND, June 22.-This after.
noon the fatality list of the Mentor
wreck has been fixed at q lives. All
the dead were men, and all were pas.
sengers on the buffet car. OF the q,
eighteen have been positively identi.
fed, and the other three are in doubt.
It is believed that all the dead have
been removed from the scene of the
wreck, the railway company bending
every effort toward clearing away the
wreck as soon as possible. This work
has proceeded so far that the possibil-
ity of there being additional bodies
buried in the debris is slight.
A peculiarly distressing feature of
the rescue work was that the injured
were SO crazed when they were taken
out from under the mass of wreckage
that they could not even reveal their
own identity, despite the urgent ap.
peals and entreaties made by officials
and others who knew how anxiously
news of the wreck was awaited by
families and friends of the passen.
gers.
The order was finally given to search
the living wreck victims in the hope
that identidc alton might in that way
be established, but even when this was
resorted to, but three sufferers could
be identified. The rest we're demented
by the pain and agony they had un.
dergone. The scenes that resulted
from their pitiable mental condition
were affecting to the point Of tragedy.
AS to who is responsible for the
open switch, which was the cause of
the wreck, the railroad officials are
still uncertain. They believe that the
wreck is either the result of a maniac,
who wanted to see wreck Of such q
fast train, or some person bent upon
revenge. A careful examin alton of
the switch today showed that it was in
perfect condition.
Detectives are working on the case.
Trainmen are of the opinion that the
crew of the Twentieth Century was de-
ceived by second white light 100 feet
beyond the switch which was open,
but while travelling at such fast speed
were unable to gauge the distance aud
mistook the second light for the first
one.
w. H. Marshall, general manager
of the Lake Shore, believes the speed
Of the train was not a contributory
feature to the wreck. He said that
other Lake Shore trains travel through
Mentor at speed equal to that at.
tained by the Twentieth Century last
night, which was not, MIR. Marsha al
said, above the rate of 60 miles an
hour. The schedule for the train
called for speed of 81 miles an hour
at that point.
