Immediately after the alarm of fire
was given Captain Wilson, Third Off
Ger Wallace and Fourth Officer Dahl
were notified and proceeded to investi-
gate. They descended tC the first hold
where they found the cargo on the star
board side of the vessel burning under a
slow fire, which gave evidence of having
been at work for hours. The hold was
choked with smoke, and the officers
were unable to do effective work. They
had scarcely gotten to the second floor
when the captain staggered and fell
limp al the feet of his two companions

TYPH0ON IN GUAM.
Rainfall OF 81 Inches in "a Hours Is
Reported.

Agana, Guam, Nov. 25, via San
Francisco. Feb. 1.-One of the se@erest
typhoons in history visited Guam on
November z lasting through Nevem-
Der s, and the unprecedented amount
of 81 inches of rain fell within "A
hours.
For three or four days folIbwing
the typhoon a tremendous swell set in
from the westward. breaking over the
barrier reefs. inundating the shores
and causing destruction equal If not
greater than that of the typhoon.
Roads, bridges and wharves are de-
molished. The beacons, buoys aHd day
marks of all descriptions in the har-
Dor of Apra, were washed away or de-
molished. Lighters and boats were
stranded and washed away. The PaseO
de Susana, a promenade recently con-
structed in Agana at much expense,
was washed completely away. The
whole shore line in that section was
moved back toward the city many
yards. The government agricultural
experimental station, sawmill. ice
plant and other shops, as well as the
streets of Agana were submerged.
Fortur ately, for the natives, the great
er part of their valuable crop of copra
and rive has been harvested. But the
cocoanut trees have suffered severely.
The islands of Saipan, Rota. and
Tinian bore the brunt of the gale The
japanese schooner Garupan is a wreck
high and dry upon Saipan.
This is the second typhoon which
has visited the islands within two
months

DEADLOCK REACHED.
Between the Coal Miners and ope-
rators on Question of Wages.

Indianapolis, Feb. 1.-The joint scale
committee of the central competitive
district, consisting of western PennsyI-
vania. Illinois, Ohio and IndianaI came
to a final disagreement today after be-
ing in session two hours. 1t was decid-
ed to report the disagreement to the
joint conference to be called at 2 o'clock.
Before the committee adjourned the op-
orators submitted a final proposition
which was to continue the present scale
with its present conditions The Illinois
operators insisted upon an additional
clause placing on the miners the addi
tional cost Of mining coal caused by
shot frers' bills and other legislation.
The miners, voting by states rejected
the proposition unanim 9usiy and stood
united against any proposition that does
not give an increase in wages.
At noon President MitcheE of the
miners said a meeting of the miners
convention would be held in all prob
ability Immediately following the ses-
sion OF the joint conference Neither
the officer of the operators nor of the
miners expect an agreement in Indian
apolis at this time and the general feel
ing is that an adjournment without an
agreement 'ill be taken tomorrow.
A proposition to hav- the joint con-
ference appoint a subscale committee
is being considered but neither side has
much faith in such a committee being
able to accomplish anything.

NONE HURT IN THIS WRECK.
Rock Island Passenger Train Crashes
Into Union Pacific Freight.

Rock Island eastbound passenger
train No. 10, the fast mail, crashed
into the rear end of a Union Pacific
freight train just north Of Lawrence
yesterday morning, and luckily no one
was seriously injured. The passenger
engine was badly smashed and the ca
bOose and two cars of the freight were
demolished completely. The wreckage
took fire and this was extinguished in
short order by the Lawrence fire de-
partment.
The freight had taken water near
the union depot and had backed up on
the main track and was standing there
when the passenger train crashed into
it. A flag had been sent back but had
been placed only about four hundred
feet in the rear of the freight. Engi-
neer Hodges of the passenger train
saw the flag and put on the brakes,
but could not bring his train to a stop
in time to avoid a crash Because of
the brakes being on the impact of the
crash was not great. Hodges and his
fireman jumped before the crash came
and were only slightly injured. Several
of the passengers were bruised from
being bumped around in the cars but
none of them were hurt seriously.
