success that the management is en-.
couraged to enlarge its scope and make

SENATOR GORMAN
DIES SUDDENLY

Arthur Pue German, United States
senator from Maryland died suddenly
at his home in Washington, d. c., last
| Monday While Senator German had
been i'll for months, he had shown some
improvement lately.
Heart trouble was the immediate
cause of death. Up to the moment of
death, Senator German was conscious.
Senator German leaves a widow and
six children.
He long had been a notable figure in
the national congress. He first took
his seat in 1881, and served continuous
ly for / s years land nearly all of that
time he was the leader of his party in
the senate. Winning early the reputa-
ton for sagacity and the keenest Judge
ment in congressional affairs, he at
tanned prominence not only as leader
in the senate, but in the country at
large, and by many men was considered
the most available man in his party
for the presidency.
Political and naval circles in Wash
ington think that one of the strongest
candidates for the vacancy in the sem
ate created by the death of Senator
German will be Rear AdmiralWlnfeld
5. Schley, hero of Santiago. Rear Ad-
miral Schley, is stanch democrat,
native of Maryland, and was spoken of
as candidate for the presidency after
the Spanish American war.

TROLLEY CAR wreck
StVENPERSONS KILLED AND over
TWENTY INJURED.
Party Of Dung Folks Were Returning
to Providence, r. l., From Crescent
Park-Motorman Did Not Know the
Track and Allowed Car to Strike a
Curve at Full Speed.

Providence, r. l., June A large
10 seated open car, chartered by pri
vate party and returning to this city
from Crescent park, left the rails on a
sharp curve in East Providence and
was overturned. Seven persons were
killed and 20 injured.
1t Is believed two of the injured will
die. A revised list of the dead fol
lows:
George Atcherson, 20 years.
Edward F. Brennan, Is years.
Alice Franklin, II years.
Enrico Gamboni, % years.
John Gavin, 20 years.
Angelo German, 80 years.
Gustave Guertin, Is years.
William w. Luther 81 years.
Bertha NJ. Kelley, Is years.
John Schneider, 10 years.
Ethel Whitley 10 years.
The motorman in charge of the car,
w. j. Laughcher was unfamiliar with
the road over which he was travelling.
The car, an open one, was of heavy
build.
Fog prevented a clear view of the
road ahead and the motorman una
ware of the sharp curve below, allowed
the car to coast rapidly down the hill.
Suddenly he felt the car swing into the
curve, and, realizing the peril, reversed
the current and applied the brakes.
Seven of the passengers were pin
toned beneath the car and instantly
killed.
Those who were able began the work
of rescue. A large joist was utilized
as lever a pile of stones forming a
fulcrum and the car was raised from
the ground just enough to permit the
escape Of its imprisoned passengers
TWO persons had succeeded in escap-
ing when the joist broke under the
weight of the car and the heavy We
hicle fell back, killing two of the in
jured.
The rescuers again raised the car
from the ground and by building pile
of heavy stone kept it in position while
the dead and injured were removed.
Two of those taken out, John Gavin
and George Atkinson, both of whom
had sustained fractured skulls, died
within an hour

 WINDSOR, England. July S1.-Sec- ond Lieutenant John Jacob Astor, son of William Waldorf Astor, rescued a trooper of his regiment, the First life guards. from drowning in the river Thames near here.
 Lieutenant Astor's troop was en- gagged in swimming practice when a troopers horse got into difficulties in midstream and kicked his rider.
 The latter sank in deep water, and young Astof dived in and brought up the soldier in time to enable resuscita- ton.
 The trooper, whose name is Donald son, is a very big man, much heavier than Astor, who had desperate strug- gle to get him alongside punt. But he managed it and, furthermore, sue ceeded in dragging the helpless trooper into it.
 Astor was driven back to the bar racks, where the colonel of the Life guards, Lieutenant General De Ros, called to compliment him..
 The lieutenant will be recommended for the Royal Humane society's medal.

 Manufactures and mining are but little developed, Guatemala is an agricultural country, the temperate lands the great source of the country's wealth. Coffee is the principal prod uct; in quantity harvested it is sur passed only by Brazil and the East Indies: it is cultivated on a large scale by German and United States planters, on small scale by large numbers of Guatemalans. Coffee is the chief article of export, sent main ly to Germany, the United States. and Great Britain. Cotton goods form the chief import. largely supplied by Great Britain, the United States, Ger many and France. We send over also railway materials, telegraph and cleo trical supplies, building materials and iron manufactures. Direct steamship communication between San Francis co and Guatemala was established in 1900.
 Guatemala de Nueva is the capital of the republic. It is situated on plateau and is about S5 miles from the Pacific coast. It was founded in 1773, the year the older capital, 25 miles away was devastated by an earth quake. Guatemala is the commercial center of the country, and presents the appearance of a modern city. It has population of 96,500 inhabitants, five-sixths of them of European ori- gin.
