FIENDS WRECK A TRAIN.
Pacific Coast Flyer Hurled from Tres
tie Near Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, Gala fiendish train
wrecking plot was perpetrated near
here Wednesday that resulted IN the
death of one man and the injury OF
% persons, four of whom are dying
Train No. 20, one of the Southern
Pacifics coast line flyers, due here at
nine o'clock Tuesday night, was hurl-
ed from the tracks on trestle at
West Glendale, ten miles north OF
here, at 1870 a. IN. Wednesday by the
deliberate work of murderous tram
Wreckers. Seven cars plunged or the
trestle, while the train was making ~
miles an hour, falling l6 feet TO the
bottom of a gulch.
At the Southern Pacific general or
fees in this city notices were posted
offering $4,000 for the arrest and con-
viction of the person or persons re-
sponsible for the wreck. The officials
announced that they had no c'''
whatever.
In accomplishing the wreck OF ne
train, which was the Coast Line Lirll-
tied" devilish ingenuity was exer-
cised. At point on trestle over the
Arroyo Seco the fishplates and bolts
OF two connecting rails on the south
bound track had been removed, and
in the apertures whence the bolts
were taken strands of heavy wire
were fastened at the end of each rail.
From the appearance of the track
after the wreck it was evident that
some person hidden on a hillside close
to the trestle had pulled the wire as
the train approached and spread the
rails outward toward the edge Of the
trestle.

the Orient, President Mckinley sent
Major COnger to Pekin to represent
the United States. He was reluctant
to go, because he learned to love Rio.
AMI he realized the difficulties ahead,
but he was a good soldier and Obeyed
the word of command.
1t was in pcllin that the splendid
courage of Major Conger manifested
itself. He handled the delicate situa-
ton with great tact and when the
boxer" crisis came on Major Conger
was virtually in command of the be-
leagUe red legationers penned up in a
compound in the great city of anarchy
When it was first learned that the
legation was penned up there was
taln of having special commissioner
sent to handle the situation, but the
president had supreme confidence in
Major Conger and kept him in com.
mand, and later when the army and
navy came into the game Major Con-
ger still retained his authority alb.
solutely. 1T was due Major Conger
more than to any other one person
that in this crisis the attitude of the
United States remained firmly
friendly to the Chinese government
and that the great republic retained
the friendship Of the Orientals.
About three years ago Major Conger
resigned to return home, and as a
compliment President Roosevelt
made him ambassador to Mexico he.
fore he retired, the Mexican position
being higher in rank than that at
Pekin.
The fact that Major Concer as
minister to China, came nearer to
the throne of China than any other
person, is we'll known. He made of
himself real power there. He
Travelled extensively in China and
made himself familiar with the neo.
pie. His attitude was ever that Of

best he could help these people while
fairly representing his own country
He was not Lowell by the commercial
element which sought to exploit the
Orient, but he did have the confidence
