THE DEADLY
Two Powerful Machines Met Head On Near Coney Island
 1. This Morning
ONE DEAD, TWO DYING

New York, July 1S.-While rush. ing along at express train speed, two automobiles, filled with merrymakers returning from Coney Island. crash ed head-on early to-day on the dimly lighted Ocean Parkway, and as con sequence one man is dead and two others are fatally injured. The dead man, Thomas F. Donovan, of New York, was impaled on the spokes of his own machine. The injured are Chapman Ropes, of Morristown, N. J., and an unidentified man.
 Donovan was trying to make a speed record with his machine, which carried no lights. Running along at sixty miles an hour Donovan deter mined to take the other side of the road. He did not see Chapman Ropes driving a powerful machine, ap- preaching in an opposite direction, and running about forty miles an hour. The two machines were upon one another before their drivers realized what had happened. With fearful crash the machines collided and were reduced to scrap iron. Don- ovan was thrown from his wheel and the spokes of broken wheel pierced his breast. Ropes and his companion were found beneath the wreckage. Donovan died in the hospital and physicians say that the two wounded men will probably die.

A CATALOGUE WAR
Small Merchants of Chicago Will Resist Being Put Out of
 Business.

Chicago, July 1S.--War has been declared on the great catalogue houses of Chicago and other cities by 500,000 retail merchants of the west In one of the most striking economic movements this country ever has known the small dealers are fighting, as they say, for their lives. The mammoth institutions, employing thousands of workers, doing their business entirely through the medium of their bulky cata- logues, spending no money in the communities whence they derive an- nually millions of dollars of patron age, are forcing increasing numbers of home merchants to the wall and, so their opponents claim, are "mak- ing commercial graveyards of once prosperous towns"
 An organized attack on the cata- logue institutions is to be made by the Home Trade League of America, which has existed for several months in Chicago, largely as publicity bureau, but which is shortly to in corporate and institute a more sys- tematic and aggressive campaign against the catalogue houses through a board of twenty-one managers, with vice-president and an advis- ory committee of ten members from each state.

Emneror VIII Abdicate.

Tokio, July 1S.-As result of Ir- gent representation by the ministers it is very probable that the emperor of Korea will abdicate in favor of the crown prince as the first step toward reform in Korea. This will most like ly be followed by the calling of a new convention, which while keeping Korea's national existence intact. will limit the soyerign power in some form whereby the ruler can exercise his powers only with the consent and ap- proval of the Japanese resident gen. eral The present ministers in Seoul are actuated by true patriotism ana are determined to place the Korean government upon a firm basis and free from court intrigues and selfish plots.

LEAVING TOWN
Many Witnesses and Detectives in the Haywood Case Have
 Gone Home.

Boise, Idaho, July 1S.--An exodus of witnesses in attendance on the Hay wood trial commenced in earnest to- day and by tonight most of them win have left town. Since the case com menced it is estimated that at least 800 have been in town at different times. The force of detectives will also be re- duced.
 Argument on the admissibility of certain evidence will occupy to-day's session. Judge Wood as asked coun- sel to present views as 10 the mater iality of evidence bearing on the ac- ton of the citizens of various towns in the Cripple Creek district of Colo radO in deporting striking miners who refused to work and those who took part in preventing the no-union miners from accepting employment in the mines. The defense probably will fight hard to keep this evidence in the record, as it makes a considerable part of their claim that conspiracy eS- isted between the mine owners ana the Pinkertons to annihiliate the Vest ern Federation of Miners. Judge Wood has intimated, however, that ne will not allow the jury to consider these matters and unless argument should change his opinion, it is probable the evidence will be eliminated.
 It is now expected the case will go to the jury by next Wednesday evcn- ing or Thursday at the latest.

LAPS TO GossLE KOREA.
Struggle at Seoul Foreshadows End
 of Hermit Kingdom.

of Hermit Kingdom.
 SEOUL, July 1S.-Following cabi- net meeting which lasted four hours, the premier had long audience with the emperor, continuing for three hours. It has transpired that the premier made a strongly worded representation of the gravity of the situation caused by his majestys sending delega tion to the peace conference at The Hague. He boldly pointed out the ne cessity for the emperor's abdication in favor of the crown prince and of his proceeding to Tokyo and apologizing to the emperor of Japan. The Korean emperor made no definite reply.
 On retiring from the palace the pre- mier immediately called another cabi- net meeting, which lasted until 2 o'clock in the morning. The cabinet is determined definitely to decide on Korea's attitude by the time of the arrival of Viscount Hayashi, Japanese foreign minister. It is believed that the ministers will insist on the abdica- tion of the emperor at all risks.
 The request made by the premier of Korea that the emperor abdicate ap- parently is the beginning of the end of this ancient empire and the inaugu- ration of closer control by Japan than that she has exercised since the treaty of Portsmouth recognized her predominant influence in the Hermit Kingdom as one of the fruits of her victory over Russia.

WAS HEAVY RAIN
River OverfIoWs lis Banks and Several Bridges Were Swept
 AWay--LOss is Heavy.

Wheeling, w. Va, July 18.-Dis- patches from Grafton, Bowesburg, Tunnelton and other towns in the Tygart's valley in northern West Virginia, tell of terrific rains fol- lowed by the river going out of its banks nearly its entire length, cars- ing property losses that will aggre- gate nearly quarter of a million dollars At Elkins the rainfall reached the remarkable total of five inches and was nearly as heavy at other points.
 Fifteen or more bridges are washed out railroads are washed out, and at Grafton church from Row. leyburg passed down the raging river. At Thornton the water was five feet over the Baltimore and Ohio tracks and several houses were washed away. At McCombs the water came in an immense wave, wrecking the house of Mrs Mary Ballard, carrying off three of her small children, whose bodies have not been recovered.
 It is feared many other lives have been lost, as the flood came without warning. .-l..-....

Philadelphia, July 1S-The climax of the reunion of the Elks was reach ed to-day when more than 10000 mem- bers of the order marched six miles along Broad street in their annual par- ade. It is believed that no such crowd as that which lined Broad street to- day ever gathered on that higrway. Fifty grand stands lined the route, which extended from Huntington street to Reed, distance of four miles, with a two mile counter march to Vine street. Business for the great CT part of the day was practically sus- pended.
 About 100 lodges participated. There were ten divisions under command of Chief Marshal John P. Sullivan, of New Orleans, Grand Esquire of the Elks. The Philadelphia lodge had the right of line with 1900 men. The New York lodge followed. Among the lodges in line were thost from New Haven and Meriden, Conn.

Georgia Midshipman May Die-Par-
 ents Are With Him Now.

Boston, July 1S.-Midshipman James F. Cruse, one of the F sailors injured by an accident on board the battleship Georgia while at target practice in Cape Cod bay on Monday, who are confined at the chelsea naval hospital, was reported this morning as very low and in such an extremely critical condition that he was not ex- pected to survive the day. His father. Major Thomas Cruse of Omaha, Neb., was at his bedside with the inidship- mans mother and brother after a journey of 1.500 miles.
 The other injured men had passed the night without apparent change in their condition. The hospital physl- clans now expect ah but Cruse to re- cover, although they estimated the chances of recovery of Seamen James r. Thomas and Louis Q. Meese as be- ing very small.
