Will NOT EXCEED SIXTY
NUMBER OF DEATHS AS RESULT
OF RAIL DISASTER AT At
LANTlc CITY, N. j.

Atlantic City, N. j., Oct. 31.-With
all the recovered bodies identified and
seven persons reported missing the
authorities and railroad officials are
certain that the number killed on Sun
day in the drawbridge disaster on the
West Jersey Sea Shore Electric rail-
road will not exceed sixty. Fffty-two
bodies have been claimed, two of those
placed among the missing are known
to be dead and five are still unac-
counted for.
These seven victims are believed to
be wedged beneath the second pas
senger coach, which is held fast in the
muddy bottom of the Thoroughfare.
Efforts to dislodge this car produced
little result. The ponderous trucks,
weighing about 100 tons, have sunk
deep into the mud. AS a last resort 1t
was suggested that the wreckers use
dynamite to blow up the car, but this
will not be done unless all other plans
fail.
Following a conference with City
Solicitor Wooten Coroner Gaskill de-
clared that it is absolutely certain that
more persons were killed in the dis
aster than Is shown by the number OF
bodies recovered. The coroner says
he has information which proves that
the number of passengers on the train
was at least ninety-one, as originally
stated; that there were seventy-six
through passengers from Camden and
fifteen persons riding on passes. A
few got off at way stations, but more
got on at Pleasantville and other
points. The official number of identi-
fed dead shown by the coroner's re-
ports is fifty-one. Five are known to
have been killed whose bodies have
not been recovered, increasing the to-
tai to fifty-six. Basing calculations on
the coroner's statement there are thir-
ty-fve to be accounted for. About
twenty-five are known to have es-
capped, leaving at least ten more per-
sons who are supposed to have per-
ished In the accident.

DECLARE THEY PREFER DEATH
TO BEING TAKEN BACK TO
UTAH TO STARVE.
PAY NO ATTENTION TO SOLDIERS
MAIN BODY OF UTEs MOVING RAP.
IDLY TOWARD CHEYENNE
RESERVATION.

Sheridan. Wyo., Oct. 31.-"We are
going to visit Cnief White Cow Bull
Of the Cheyennes at any cost and will
not be taken back to Utah to starve.
We would rather die first" is the SUBJ
stance OF the answer of Chief Kan
napp to the soldiers.
The Indians are getting bolder and
pay no attention to the soldiers. A
fight was almost started during the
night when an Indian encountered a
sentinel of the Tenth cavalry. The
Indian refused to turn out of the path
and rudely bumped against the SOL
dier Only the Intervention of some
cavalrymen prevented a serious en-
counter, as other Indians came up.
AS the Utes are continually on the
move in small bands cowboys are
hired by the soldiers as scouts to keep
track of the Indians. The latest re-
port from the front locates the main
Ute band in the vicinity of Moorhead,
going rapidly toward the Cheyenne
reservation. Two more troop trains
are reported out of Fort Robinson.

Ide's arrival. speaking OF conditions
in the islands Governor Ide said:
'"The Philippines are today in better
shape than they ever were under
Spanish or American rule The labor
question is no longer problem.
What the Philippines do need, how
ever, is square deal In the matter Of
the tariff. BY annexation we killed
Spanish markets for the sugar and to-
bacco of the Philippines and by our
tariff we barred these products from
the United States. Both industries
are today In state of prostration.
THE policing of the islands is al
most entirely in the hands of the ma
tives and except in Leyte and Samar,
where hill tribes make war on the
lowlanders, all Is peace In the Philip
pines"

TROOPS ON THE MOVE.
Additional Cavalry in Pursuit of tho
Indians.

Sheridan, Wyo., Oct. 31.-Colonel
Augur and the Third squadron of the
Tenth cavalry from Fort Robinson ar
rived over the Burlington road and
detrained at Arvada, the troops soon
afterward taking the field for the
front. 1t is understood that Colonel
Augur is in command of all military
forces and as soon as his troops arrive
at the Indian camp demonstration
will be made The scout sent in from
the front 70 meet Colonel Augur re-
ports the arrival of Colonel Rogers,
commanding the Sixth cavalry, who
came overland from Fort Mead.
The Indians are becoming more
bold Dock Spear and E. H. Gottings,
who encountered band of thirty In
dians, were fred upon and one OF
their horses killed. The Spear round
up wagon was looted by another band
OF Utes, who bound and gagged the
camp cook and carried off all supplies
and bedding. Old settlers near Moor
head, Mont, are sending the women
and children to places Of safety and
have turned the Spear blacksmith
shop into a fort, banking the sides
and boring loopholes in the log walls.
Colonel kensel who was govern
ment scout and Interpreter in the
battle of Wounded Knee, says the In
dians mean fight and gives 1t as his
opinion that they have sent messen-
gers to seek the assistance of the war
like Cheyennes.
The Indians say they want President
Roosevelt to give them the Powder
River valley for a hunting ground and
persist in their determination not to
be taken back to Utah
The settlers along the Powder river
say that If the Indians are allowed to
remain in that vicinity the settlers will
organize and exterminate the redskins
In spite of the troops.

THE FlLlPINOS A PARliA-
MENT OF THEIR OWN.
SECRETARY TAFT TO VISIT ISLANDS
WILL BE ON HAND WHEN NEW
GOVERNMENT is INAUGU-
RATED IN MARCH.

Washington, Oct. 3l.-The president
made to the Philippine people through
Secretary Taft that they shall have a
parliament of their own, conditioned
upon their good behavior for term of
two years, and it is understood that
Secretary Taft himself will proceed to
the Philippines next spring to witness
representative government. March q.
1905, the Philippine census was pub
lished and consequently two years
from that date, March 27, 1907. under
the terms of the act Of congress the
president will direct the Philippine
commission to call a general election
for the choice of delegates to what
will be known as the Philippine as
Sembly. This body is to take over all
legislative powers heretofore exer-
cised by the Philippine commission in
that part of the archipelago not inhab-
tted by Moros or nonChristian tribes.
AS this date draws near the Philip
pine people are showing signs of agi-
tation aud to the officials here it is
evident that they are
Expecting Some Benefits
that cannot at once be realized. For
instance, the assembly of provisional
governors recently in session in Ma
n ynif triny inc
preliminaries for the meeting of the
Philippine assembly is reported to
have recommended that the suffrage
be widely extended 1t is pointed out
here that this is not possible for the
reason that the act of congress under
which the assembly will be convened
expressly states the qualifications of
voters. These, in brief, are that the
voter must be at least twenty-three
years of age (which was the Spanish
reguirement), must be able to read
ana write either Spanish or English,
or must own a small amount of prop
erty or must have been in the past an
officeholder under the Spanish govern
ment These qualifications were
framed upon the old Spanish practice
and no Philippine assembly can change
them. The new assembly or legisla-
ture will consist of two houses, TO be
known as the Philippine commission
and the Philippine assembly, the latter
to consist of not less than fifty nor
more than 100 members. 1t is prob
able that the present commission will
be merged in the upper house.

New York, Oct. 31.-Timothy l..
Woodruff, chairman of the state Re-
publican committee, says that he will
advise President Roosevelt to repu-
diate a campaign document issued by
the independence league In support OF
w. r. Hearst's candidacy for governor.
Mr. Woodruff objects to the publica-
tion in parallel columns OF extracts
from the speeches OF the president

Of wealth. Mr.. Woodruff said concern
ing the publication:
1T is earnestly hoped that Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who has to degree
long maintained position that he
could not interfere In local politics.

nounce the author Of the Illusion. 1t
was expected all along that some such
an effort as this would be made by
Hearst to influence voters.
my attention was called to the
Hearst publication Monday and made
an investigation, which disclosed the
facts regarding the publication of the
parallel views of the president and
Hearst. found 1t to be a serious
matter and will urge upon the pres
ident the advisability OF breaking his
rule OF silence in local political mat
ters and reply to this insinuation.
Il am aware that the president Is
not inclined to interfere In state poll
tics, but in view Of this publication l
would strongly urge that the president
break his silence and repudiate the
author Of or the man who would bene-
ca hv that statement"

FOR GOTHAM, 100000 COWS
Vast Number of Bovines Which Sup
ply New York with It's MILK
and Cream Products.

1t takes 100000 cows to supply
New York city with milk and
cream, and other cities in about
the same proportion to popula-
ton. If it were necessary to de-
liver this quantity in wagons,
bread and milk would be a greater
luxury than terrapin in all large
cities. But the milk-train and the
refrigerating process bring city
and country into surprisingly
close relations. Every New Eng
land state pours milk into Boston.
Each day trains start from points
in Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont, more than 100 miles
away. Philadelphia's milk-routes
radiate for distances nearly as
great in all directions, like the
spokes of a wheel-obyiously not
waterwheel. And Chicago
draws on the great dairy states OF
the middle west. New York, with
it's enormous population, receives
milk from close to the shores OF
Lake Ontario and the River st.
Lawrence; certain of these routes
are nearly 400 miles long. Parts
of New Jersey and Pennsylvania
also contribute. Maps of the
watershed of great areas appear
in the Biographies. The milk

streams of milk flow to the con
suming centers, is hardly less
definitely established. Milk-trains
run on passenger schedules, otter
in connection with passenger
cars. Their receipts are carried
on most railroad accounts, as pas
senger earnings. Strong lOcomo

essential than sidewalks. There people now who
are ready to put down their walks voluntarily, some
