Chicago. June 10.-Three persons
were drowned and two others narrowly
escaped like fale tonight when an
automobile, in which the five were rid
Ing, plunged into the Chicago river
through the open draw of the Rush
street bridge. Those drowned:
JEROME G. KURTSMAN, Chicago,
manager for a chemical company.

ager for an automobile company Mrs.
jeremiah Runyon, New York city.
Both Mrs. RInyon and Mr.. Hoops
were unconscious for half an hour af-
ter being taken from the water, hut
are expected to recover.
The accident occurred at the north
end of the bridge where there is an up-
ward slope of 200 feet towards the edge
of the draw. Tlis slope is SO steep
that it has not been thought necessary
to stretch chains across the roadway
as Is done at number of other
bridges, where the approaches ar, on
the level.
The occupants of the automobile
which dashed into the river were COM

another machine. the chaffeur Of which

open draw at twenty miles an hour.
When close to the open draw Hoops
realized his danger and throwing all
his weight on the steering wheel, at
tempted to turn the machine to the
left. The machine was too close 10
the draw however.
The automobile turned slightly and
for fraction of a second hung on the

st. Petersburg, June II, 12:35 a. NJ
Paris is Russia's choice as the place
for opening peace negotiations If ia
pan insists upon Man"huria or Wash
iugtCn. Russia doubtless will agree,
but Paris is preferred and the emperor
already is prepared to issue instruc-
tons to VI. NeilidOf1, the amba ssador
to France, to act as plenipotentiary to
receive the Japanese conditions.
The Russian government has COM
nunicated to the administration at
Washington, its consent to the publica-
ton of Russia's reply to President
EOOsevelts appeal, at the same time
thanking the President warmly for
tne friendly and lofty spirit III which
it was conceived.
The Associated Press IS now able to
give some additional interesting details
of the extraordinary council presided
over by the emperor, which met recent
ly at Tsarskoe-Selo, and at which the
practical, although not the final decis-
ion was taken to terminate the war if
the conditions were not too onerous.
Besides the older male members of
the imperial family all the ministers
were present except NJ. Manukhin, the
minister of justice, General Fredericks,
master Of ceremonies, Prince Dolgo-
ruki, Count Solsky, Baron Hesse and
members of the imperial encourage,
General Ora SomirOff and Vice Admiral
DOubassOOff, We're there as strategic
experts of the army and navy.
With Grand Dukes Vladimir and
Alexander Michaelovitch as leaders, all
the members of the imperial family,
except Nicholas Nicholaevitch, favored
an attempt TO conclude peace. Only
General SakahOrff, the minister of
war. and General IIObkO, from among
the ministers, held out for the prOSecu-
ton of the war.
There was wide divergence of Opin-
ion as to whether Japan would attempt
to impose impossible terms, but the
tOncensus of opinion was that Japan
is too wise to desire now to humble
its gigantic neighbor and force cOndi-
tons which would forever rankle in
the heart of Russia and only make
peace an armed truce till the Russian
empire could make further prepara-
tons.
An enduring peace, it was agreed
was impossible if Japan tried to force
upon Russia humiliating terms such as
the surrender and disarmament OF
VladivOstok and the absolute limita'
ton of Russia's naval strength in the
Pacific.
A formal truce is expected to be
proclaimed Immediately the place Of
meeting of the plenipOtentiaries ha:
been settled upon. The Associated
Press hears on all sides nothing but the
highest commendation of Presiden
ROOSevelt's action, and if it results II
a satisfactory adjustment of terms /
is believed that this act is bound Il
have a tendency to restore the rela
tiOns between the United States an(
Russia to something like the old friend

The happy honeymoon of John Glib,
steam-plow engineer at Paauhau had
sad ending in the death of his bride of
two months at the California Hotel

three weeks. Mr.. and Mrs. Glib spent

half years residence in the country
they became betrothed. Then came
the call of the Boer war. and Glib,
with other brave fellows in the Colo
MES. went to show his devotion ts
the motherland on the bloody battle
fields of South Africa. at the close
of the campaign the young soldier re-
turned and came to Hawaii, where he
had four brothers on plantations. For
three years he has been saving mp to
send for his betrothed. On the 9th Of
December she arrived. and the couple
were married the same day in Central
Union Church.
Mrs. Glib was a native Of New Zea-
land, where her parents and brothers
and sisters still reside. She was
sweet and IovabIe Young woman and
the stricken husband has the sympathy
of numerous friends. The funeral will
take place from the California Hotel

of our three days stay was spent very
pleasantly in visiting objects of inter
est in the vicinity, among the most
notable being the fern forest, where
we saw tree ferns 80 to 40 feet high,
and gathered unlimited quantities of
wild thimble berries from the bushes
underneath.
We were much interested in visiting
the koa forest, where we saw holes
80 to 40 feet deep, where in past ages
the lava had fHed up around the trees
and killed them. IN time the trunks
decayed, leaving a symmetrical hole
in the form of a well The small ex-
tinct volcano of Kilauea-iki, being a
small crater 700 or more feet deep,
with a solid lava bottom, was also in

stay has been filed with surprises
We cannot but urge every person
who visits Honolulu to make the trip
to the volcano. a visit to Honolulu
without a visit to the volcano is like

Harold L. Scott died at the resi-

being the country of his birth. The
young man came here fifteen months
ago from Australia, his family being
resident at Mannum, fifty miles from
Adelaide. Both of his parents, a
younger brother and a sister are living
there and have received the SAD
tidings of their bereavement by cable.

COMMITTEE
SUMMONS
EDITORS

Washington, Dec. 19-Smarting under
the criticism OF Philadelphia newspapers
alleging procrastination on the part OF the
house committee on rivers and harbors
dealing with the proposed project of a 35-
foot channel in the Delaware river, that
committee yesterday passed a resolution
almost unprecedented I'm the history OF the
house OF representatives.
The resolution requests the editors of
the Philadelphia newspapers Ito appear
before the committee at Washington and
10 bring with them the files OF their pa
pers, or such matter as relates TO the 35-
foot survey and other improvements"
A 3O-foot channel from the Delaware
was authorized some time ago. but the
commercial interests at Philadelphia were
inslstent that something more should be
done Chairman Burton OF the house COM
mittee was charged with being an oh
structionist and his friends claim that he
was "cartooned and lampooned until he
could stand II no longer
Mr. Burton thereupon called the COM
mittee together and Il was decided 10 ask
the editors at Philadelphia 10 appear be-
fore that body and explain what they
meant by criticising the national law
makers
A resolution reported yesterday starts
Philadelphia have been very earnest IN
advocating improvements for the Della
ware river below Philadelphia and espe-
cially insistent upon an order for a sur
vey looking TO channel S5 feet deep" II
continues:
I'm the opinion OF the members OF the
committee the advocacy OF this survey
and OF appropriation at Philadelphia has
been characterized by an unprecedented
amount of misinformation and misstate-
ment appearing I'm newspG perS OF that city
at frequent intervals for two years past,
partly In news columns and much more I'm
editorial columns
These misstatements while not requir-
Ing attention so far as personal consid-
erations are concerned have been so fla
grant, that a serious question OF public
nature is raised. viz. whether il will not
be believed i'm other localities that the
most effective method 10 be pursued I'm
advocating improvements for n commu-
nifty or in obtaining appropriations from
congress is by personal attack and a con-
tinued disregard OF accuracy"
The editors are then invited to Wash
ington To make good The resolution
states that II the statements I'm criticism
OF the committee are true tie survey
demanded by Philadelphia should be au-
thoried
I'm a word" continues the resolution.
''the issue which seems so dear TO the
people OF Philadelphia is stated upon the
truth or error OF assertions made by these
newspapers and IL is sincerely hoped that
they will not fail TO appear Immediately
after the holidays"
The suggestion is then made that the
editors should print I'm full the proceed
ings Of the hearings and also the conclu.
sions OF the committee following.
