MANCHURIA IS
ON THE REEFS
PACIFIC MAIL SHIP AGROUND
AT RABBIT ISLAND.
PASSENGERS ARE FRANTIC
Can Be Seen Crowding Decks Of Boat.
It Is Believed That ALI
Will Be Rescued.

Honolulu, Aug. 20.--The Pacific
Mail Steamship company's steamship
Manchuria on reef on Rabbit is
land. The passengers can be seen
crowding the decks of the ship and it
is believed that they may be landed
there and brought overland to Homo
lulu. The sea at present is smooth.
One report circulated is that the
watch on the steamer mistook Rab-
bit island for Molokai island and the
theory is advanced that the recent un-
usual tidal disturbances and currents
attributed to the Valparaiso earth
quake may have affected the course
Of the vessel and thrown her off her
reckoning. The vessel is fifteen to
twenty miles off the course from the
regular route between Aohu and Mol
okai.. 1t was total darkness when the
Manchuria struck the rocks, but there
was no panic.
Passengers numbering nearly 200,
are being landed at Waimanalo and
most of them will be brought to
Honolulu over the railroad.
Eight hundred Asiatics on board
will be placed on steamers and will
be brought around by the sea. The
Manchuria lies between Rabbit island
and the mainland, partially protected
from the swell. A strong northerly
wind is blowing and she has gone
further in short since she struck. II
is now believed that she has sustained
but little damage, but tightening her
cargo may be necessary to float her.

A BOLD DASH FOR LIBERTY.
Harry L. Parks, Notorious Crook, Re-
.Captured by Deputy Wooten.

Harry L. Parks, alias "Blackey,"
who escaped from the city Jail in
company with two negroes, about five
weeks ago while under commitment
to the grand jury on charge of high
way robbery, was captured at Paw
huska Sunday and taken to the Mus
kogee Jail, where he is now confined
in security.
While enroute from Pawhuska to
Muskogee, Parks made desperate ef-
fort to regain his liberty by throwing
himself out of the car window while
the train was in rapid motion. In
this he was frustrated by the officer
in charge, who grabbed Parks by one
leg, and in spite of several kicks re-
ccived in the stomach and on the face,
held on to his man.
After escaping from Jail here,
Parks created a regular reign of ter
ror along his path from Tulsa to Ra-
mona. AT the point of gun he would
demand his meals from the terrified
housewives, and he threatened death
to anyone who should put the officers
on his trial. Deputy U. s. Marshal
Wooten pursued him several days, u.s.
ing blood hound pups. The dogs,
however, were too young to do the
work and Wooten was forced to give
up the hunt. ia
Parks is well known in Tulsa, hav-
ing been around here a long time. He
is cocaine fend, and when under the
influence of the drug, would stop at
nothing in the line of crime. He is
said to be first class musician, once
travelling in fast company as cor
netist. He has had spotted career
of crime, having spent much of the
last five years within prison walls for
various crimes.

EXAGGERATED
EARTHQUAKES IN CHILE HAVE
ALL CEASED.
PEOPLE BECOME CALMER
Property Loss Is Estimated from 5000
100000 to $500, 900, ,o0o-- Santiago
Aiding Valparaiso.

Earthquakes in Chile have all ceas-
ed, the resultant fires have been ex.
tinguished, and the people of the
two cities, Valparaiso and Santiago
are taking organized steps to relieve
the suffering care for the wounded
and bury the dead. The period of
horror has ended. Dispatches receiv-
ed from Chile today tend to show that
the first estimates of the casualties
and material damage had been greatly
exaggerated, and that the people Of
Valparaiso are becoming calmer. All
fear of further shocks has been remOv-
ed by statement issued from the OBJ,
servatory, and today it became possi-
BILE for the first time to organize re-
lief work and begin systematic
search for the dead.
Santiago is coming to the rescue of
her suffering sister. Public subscrip-
tions have been opened for moeny,
clothing and provisions, and the cap
ital is caring for all the refugees from
Valparaiso who made their may across
the mountains. The. government is
putting down pillage wherever il
breaks out with the troops. 1t is
still impossible to reach any correct
estimate of the dead or injured. Re-
ports from Chile are most conflicting,
the number Of dead in Valparaiso
doubtless will run into the hundreds
and for the entire country into thou.
sands. The property damage is esti-
mated at from 200 to 300 million dol
lars. The statement is made that ev-
cry building in Valparaiso has been
damaged, and that the city has been
described as "uninhabitable." San
tiago suffered much less than Valpar-
also. The number of dead in Santi-
ago is reported at 20.

Nights Council Meeting.

The council met last night, with all
of the members present.
Dr. Hawley starred the work of
the session by calling up the ordin-
ance providing that the city put in
alley crossings, to be put on its Sec
ond reading. 1t was adopted as read
by a vote of five to three. The rules
were suspended and the ordinance
was placed on its third reading. The
ordinance was passed by vote of six
TO two.
Randolph moved that the city at
torney be instructed TO draw up an
ordinance regulating automobiles, and
the motion was adopted.
The fire escape ordinance was
placed on its third reading and was
passed unanimously.
II was moved and adopted that the
alley crossings be let by contract
bids and that the bids be asked for
by the next meeting of the council.
Where the sidewalks are brick, the
crossings are to be of brick, but in
all other cases the crossings are to
be made of concrete.
The matter Of a light at Eleventh

said to be needed was carried.

ANOTHER BRYAN
I. ENDORSEMENT.
ILLINOIS TO DECLARE FOR THE
NEBRASKAN TODAY.
STORMY time EXPECTED
But This Will Make No Difference in
Regard to the Sentiment for the
Twice Defeated Prophet.

Peoria, ILL.,, Aug. Whether it
pleases him or not, William j. Bryan
will be endorsed as the next presiden-
tial candidate of the democratic par
ty by the democratic state convention
of Illinois, which will be called to or
der tomorrow at IL a. m.
Bryan has stated that under GER
tain conditions he does not care for
the endorsement of the Illinois dem
ocracy, but this will have little bear
ing on the convention and Bryan will
be endorsed irrespective of the fact
that he has announced that he does
not care for the approval of the dem
ocrats of the state officially if Roger
C. Sullivan, of Chicago, is allowed
by the convention to retain the posi-
ton of national committeeman, to
which he was elected in 1904.
1t is expected that there will be
stormy times in the convention, but
all debates will lead to the same end
ing, which will be the endorsement Of
Bryan as presidential candidate.
If his friends are successful in their
attempt to gain control of the con-
vention, he will be endorsed as a
matter of course. If the men whom
Bryan is said to have opposed are
successful in retaining control of the
party organization, they will endorse
him, no matter what he says.
The friends of Bryan have been
positive in their statements that If
the convention does not call for the
resignation of Roger Sullivan as the
national committeeman from Him
ois, they will fight with all Of their
strength against the passage Of any
resolution endorsing Bryan. If they
are not able to control the conven-
ton, and the indications tonight seem
to be against them, they will be un-
able to prevent the endorsement from
going through. So confident in fact
are the Sullivan forces that they are
to dominate the convention that the
endorsement of Bryan is already
Iasu!1s eI,'!I 3 su!s3uoo II 'dn uMuIp
to the effect that while Illinois demo-
Gratis are strongly in favor of Bryan,
they are also emphatically in favor
Of home rule in politics without in

JUMPED THE TRACK.
Golden state limited Has Trouble
With Defective Switch

According to the best information in
the possession of the officials Of the
Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific railway
a defective switch point on the Union
Pacific tracks just the other side of
Muncie. Kan, which Is about eight
miles west of Kansas City, was respon-
sible for the deraiment Of three Of the
cars of train No. a. the eastboumd
Golden State Limited, which happened
last night about eight O'clock. Although
this Is the fastest train in the Rock
Island service its schedule between here
and Kansas City Is not a fast one and
fortunately IL was running at a low
rate Of speed when the accident occur
red. The cars leaving the tracks bump
ed along over the ties for about one
hundred feet and did not even list side
ways, let alone turn over. Not a person
on the train, although it was well flied
with passengers, was injured in the
slightest way, although they all got a
good shaking up.
This train, which is made up Of an
engine and six cars, a mail, composite,
diner. tourist sleeper and two standard
Pullmans went through Topeka on time
at $50 o'clock last night. It was due
to arrive in Kansas CITY at $40 ocloes
Just the other side Of Muncie, and the
train was not going very fast at the time,
there was a sudden jar and jerk The
rear trucks Of the diner had jumped the
track and an examination Of the track
leads the Rock Island officials to be-
Iieve that the trucks left the track be
cause of a defective switch point over
which the other trucks had safely
passed. The tourist sleeper and one Of
the standard Pullnlans followed the
diner OF the track. The last car on
the train did not leave the rails The
cars which left the track plowed their
way over the ties for about one hun
dred feet and this much OF the track
was torn up.
AS soon as it was found that no one
/ had been injured and the wreck was a
slight one, the head end of the train
which did not leave the rails, was rur
on into Kansas City and a wreeking
train was sent out. The wreckers re-
rallied the derailed cars after tlSe trach
had been temporarily fixed up and they
were taken into Kansas City at hv'
o'clock this morning. There was hard
ly any damage at all to the equipmen
of the wrecked train, but the tearing III
Of the track delayed traffic. All of tn
Rock Island trains out Of Kansas Cit.
last night after the wreck occurred
were detoured to this city over the lin

PANIC ON The q"
DeraiIed Ger on Union Ioup Ties Up
Traffic in Chicago.

Chicago, March 2T.-Traff1c on all
the elevated railroads IN Chicago was
tied up half an hour last night by the
derailment of a car on the Union loop
at Wabash avenue and Van Buren,
street and it was almost two hours
longer before the trains resumed their
regular runs.
The accident occurred just at the
beginning Of the rush hour. when
thousands of persons engaged in busl-
ness in the downtown district were
leaving shops, stores and offices to re-
turn to their homes.
At the psychological moment the
West Madison street cable line broke
down and a solid mass of cars filed
with west side patrons, stood on the
loop tracks in Madison, State and
Washington streets
The elevated train which was derail-
ed consisted OF five cars. It was leav-
ing the loop at Wabash avenue when
the fourth car sWerved violently out
ward and the wheels of the truck lett
the track and bumped along over the
ties At the same time two loud re-
ports, caused probably by snort cir
cutting when the car wheels struck the
current rail, were heard.
For a moment the coupling held and
the rear cars were dragged along Ineh
It parted and the forward part OF the
train plunged ahead, the derailed car
settling down on the ties in slightly
inclined position.
The passengers, thrown from theI
seats bv the shock and terrified by
the sound of the explosions, rushed foE
the doors. Several women tried te
jump from the platforms and only the
efforts Of the guards and some Of the
men passengers restrained them ron
throwing themselves upon the deadly
third rail or down to the street. A;
soon as it was realized that there wa;
no danger Of the car falling, however
they became quiet and We're led alons
the elevated structure to the FORWARD
cars Of the train which had been stop
! ped and brought back.
The accident blocked the trains of al
four elevated lines which use the loop
