HIS SEARCH SUCCESSFUL
edy for so-caIIed Sleeping Sick ness of Africa.

Berlin. Dec. 21.-Prof. Robert Koch, who resigned the presidency of the Berlin Medical Society in May last, in order to continue his investigation in equatorial Africa of the so-called sleeping sickness" in his official re- port to the Imperial Ministry of the Interior. says he has found that atosyl, preparation of arsenic is as effica- cious in the treatment of the sickness as quinine is in the case of malaria.
 Prof Koch availed himself of the offer made by the British government of an empty mission house at Bougali. Sese Islands, northwestward of Vic toria Nyanza, where there are now 900 patients being treated with subcutan- eous injections of half gramme solu- ton of atosyl.
 The malady attacks particularly men in the prime of life. and the mortality has been so great that whole villages are now inhabited only by women and children,

CALIFORNIA WRECK.

 Feet To River.

San Jose, Cal, Dec. 26.-Eight per sons were injured. several of them seriously. and the whole train load of three score passengers severely shaken up at 1 o'clock Monday morn ing when two day coaches and the baggage car of Southern Pacific train No 502 bound from Oakland to wrights, left the track on a curve near Birmingham siding and plunged 75 feet down an embankmert. That many were not killed outright is due to the fact that the tram had slowed down before it struck the curve, where it is supposed the spreading rails caused the accident The en- zines, first mail and baggage car had passed safely around the bend when the second car broke it's coupling and plunged down to the river chan nel. followed by the smoker and chair car. both of which were filled with passengers. The baggage car was thrown over hundred feet from the place wrere 1t left the rails, and turned over on it's side in tAa bottom of a gravel pit The passenger coaches slid off the right of way 75 feet below the track.

SUPPORTS THE PRESIDENT.
Interstate Commerce Commissioners Clarke Before House Committee
 on Public Lands.

Washington, Dec. 19. - Interstate Commerce Commissioner Clarke ap- peared before the house committee on public lands Tuesday in support of the presidents suggestion that the government cease to sell coal lands and lease them hereafter to mining companies. He reiterated his charges that great corporations in league with railroads have "cornered' coal lands and forced prices up to an unreason' ably high point.
 When questioned by members of the committee as to the present difficulty in getting cars. Mir. Clarke replied that in his opinion shippers are as much to blame as carriers for the present car shortage He said thousands of cars are delayed unnecessarily in large centers by the failure of shippers to unload them promptly. In Mir Clarkes opinion railways are buying cars and locomotives as rapidly as they can get them.

The Insurgents Develop Surprising Strength in Oklahoma Consti-
 tutional Convention.
FEAR ARMED CLASH BETWEEN FACTIONS
Organization Slate won by Only two Votes on First Test Of Stren2th-- Personalities Frequent During the Debate President Murray Takes Hand In the Fight.

Guthrie, Ok, Dec. 21.--During the most spirited and personal fight of the constitutional convention the in- sursents developed surprising strength Thursday in opposition to the report of the county boundaries committee dividing the state into 75 counties.
 On test vote of whether or not the report should be made special orders, the democratic organization slate won by only two votes, and this has encouraged the insurgents to such an extent that Thursday night it was claimed by them that they would break the slate and force abandonment of the plan for so many small counties Personalities were frequent during the debate, President Murray himself participating. When Delegate Rost, of Blackwell one of the democratic leaders. opposed the report. Murray, from the chair, charged him with be ing disgruntled because his town of Blackwell was not given a county seat.
 Beyond all precedents were the rulings of President Murray to pre- vent the insurgents from gaining a victory on the floor and from fore. Ing an adjournment of the convention This led to an additional warmth, and Delegate Caudill, of Hobart, after passage at arms with Haskell, the democratic floor leader, declared the latter would have nervous prostra ton when he heard from the people in regard to the forcing of the small county plan. The feeling is even more bitter than before the committee reported It is known that numerous lobbyists and delegates are carrying guns, and trouble Is feared before the matter is finally settled.
 The plans of the organization to force through the slate division of counties failed completely to get the report considered again Wednesday evening, the discussion of other mat ters being prolonged to kill time and leave the county boundaries matter in the air Thousands of telegrams were received Thursday from Greer, Woods and Woodward counties op- posing the division as outlined by the committees slate

 A little excitement was caused when President Murray ordered Capt. Seeley, a local republican poli- tician. out of the negroes gallery. Seeley declared he was an American citizen, and that Murray couldn't put him out The sergeantat-arms was instructed to carry out the order, and finally persuaded Seeley to move

 Extortiop Case.

San Francisco, Dec. 19.--Startling testimony was given by Rudolph Spreckcss in the proceedings before Superior Judge Dunne in which Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz and Abraham Ruef are seeking to set aside the five indiet- ments found against each of them for felony extortion.
 Spreckels, who had been called to the witness stand by the defense, tes- tified during his examination that Abraham Ruef had called on him at the time of the big municipal bond issue and asked him to form a syndi- cate to take all the bonds thus author ized. Spreckels was unable to see what guarantee there was if a syndi- cate were formed 1t could secure the bonds. as under the law they must he put up at auction and sold to the high est bidder.
 Ruef informed Spreckels, according to the testimony on the stand, that this could be easily arranged for he would have general strike declared on all the street railroads and tie up the different lines With San Fran cisco in this condition. relative to its passenger transportation, he calcua- ted, so Spreckels says. that no outside capital would bid on the city's bond and the syndicate would have faiI field.

Would Not Pass the BIuejackets.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Rear Ad- miral Evans Monday brought to the attention of the navy department the action of the New York customs of ficials in searching the bluejackets who arrived at that port Saturday on the battleship Ohio from the Phil ippines. None of the men had brought anything more than few trinkets as presents for sweethearts and wives and they were much hu- inflated by the requirements of the revenue officers which are not usual ly imposed on naval sailors. It Is probable that instructions will be given customs officers to give the bluejackets the privilege enjoyed by civilians in exemption of small amount of goods.
