NUDGE DENIES IT.
Says Storey Hasn't Been offered
Darling's Place.
Refuses to Discuss Probability
of Future Tender.

". B. STOREY. ir., chief engineer of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe sys-
TEN proper, has not been offered as yet
the position of chief engineer of the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railway,
which has become vacant through the
resignation Of ". I. Darling who has
been chief engineer Of that road for
number Of years.
H. q. Nudge, second vice president OF
the Rock Island, returned to Topeka
last night after accompanying Prest-
dent WincheI OF the Rock Island and
a party of other officials of the road to
st. Louis and back to Kansas CITY on
a tour oS inspection of the St. Lotus
and Kansas City line. This trip con-
cIuded the extensive tour that Mr..
Winchell and his subOrdlnates have
made of the lines of the road. Mr.
Nudge reached the city at 9:45 o'clock
last night and will spend today with
his son, B. H Nudge. He will return
to his headquarters in Chicago tomor-
row.

arrival last night.

/ reply.
be?''
CAS- to that I cannot say because L do
not know" replied Mr.. Nudge.
The rumor that Mr.. Storey was Of
fered the position of chief engineer of
the Rock Island resulted from the fact
that when Nh Winchen and his party
went through Topeka last Friday on
their return from a tour of inspection
of the lines III the southwest Mr.. Storey
was invited By Mr.. Nudge to accom-
pany the party to Kansas City. This he
did. Mr.. Darling's resignation as chief
engineer of the Rock Island had just
been announced and it was thought
more than probable that the Rock Is
land officials had Mr.. Storey in mind
for the vacancy as. he is Just the sort
of an engineer the Rock Island needs.
His reputation as construction engi-
neer is eQua1led by few in the country
and as the Rock Island is spending mil
lions of dollars in recOnstructing its
road his services would be of value to
it as chieS engineer
When asked concerning the possibility
Of his being offered the position of chief
engineer of the Rock Island Mr.. Storey
himself stopped questions short by say
ing that he was not at liberty to discuss
the intentions of the Rock Island peo-
pie.
Although Mr. Mudge's declaration on
the matter last night was emphatic that
/ Mr.. Storey had rot been offered the
position as yet, it is the prevailing opin-
! ion among railroad men here especially
among Santa E'e officials that an offer
of this sort viii be made to Mr.. Storey.
Mr.. Nudge said last night that he
had little to add to the statements made
! by M Winchell concerning the condi-
tions of the country they had traversed
during their recent tour of inspection.
/ erywhere throughout the west and
southwest, he said, and~conditions along
the lines Of the road were in excellent
shape.

THOUSANDS DEAD
The Worst Regarding the Ty-
phOOn at Manila Not Yet Told.
Telegraph Service Has Been
Completely Paralyzed.

Manila, Sept 30.-News of the mag
nitude of last weeks typhoon con
tinues to slowly filter in from the in
terror, but specific details are as yet
hard to obtain owing to the fact thai
telegraph service has been completely
paralyzed and it viii be many days be-
fore the wires are restored to their
former state of usefulness. 1t is Ger
tain, however. that the earlier reports
as to loss of life have been underesti-
mated and when the facts are COM
pIeteIy known the list of dead viii run
very well into the thousands.
But it is not the dead that are the
chief. sufferers, inasmuch as the de
struction of thousands upon thousands
of native huts has been followed by a
period of what approaches actual
starvation on the part Of the survivors
and it viii require prompt action on
the part of the authorities to relieve
those in distress.
Major General Corbin, commanding
the division of the Philippines yester-
day issued instructions to all of the
commandments of the various regiments
on duty throughout the archipelago to
issue rations to the needy whenever in
their judgment it should be necessary.
All of the soldiers of the regular
army and the members of the Philip
pine constabulary have been instructed
to do all in their power tC aid the suf-
fering natives. Wherever gaTrisons
have been established the quartermas-
ters have been instructed to give out
any supplies they may have on hand
that are needed by the Inhs bitants Of
their various localities.
Here in Manila subscription lists

Working Night and Day
The work of repairing the damage
caused by the storm is going on night
and day and it is generally believed
that communication with the interior
Of the island and the other islands of
the Philippine group will be restored
within a week or ten days. The list
of casualties of Americans has not as
vet been completed and will not be
I for some time. inasmuch as officials of
the inSular government are deVOting
their attention at present to relieving
the distress of the sufferers, leaving
the matter of compiling a list of dead
until later.

great as was feared at first. While a
number of vessels were driven ashore

TROUBLE MAKERS FAIL
Norwegian Government Is Overwhelm-

Christiania, Sept. 30.-Norwegian ex-
trenaists. who felt themselves aggrieved
bv the terms of the settlement with
Sweden, have failed in their attempt to
create an anti-government opinion

ceeded in calling a few meetings Of
protests against the settlement, but
these gatherings proved. in most cases,
mere fascos, the people going away as
soon as they heard the anti-goVern-
ment sentiments of the men who had
summoned them.
Having failed to overthrow the set
tlement, the extremists are now agitat-
ing for a new constitution and a refer
endum on the question of the future
form Of government in Norway
whether It is to be InonarchicaI or re-
publican.
There is now no doubt that the
storthing will show a heavy majority
