TRAINS In COLLISION.
Five Persons Killed in Wreck Near,
Lenox, Mich.

Detroit, Dec 30.-Speeding through
a dense fog at the rate of forty miles
an hour Grand Trunk passenger train
No. 5, which left Port Huron en- route
for this city, collided head-on with a
double header freight train half a mile
north of Lenox, Mich. Five trainmen
met death, four being killed instantly,
the fifth dying three hours later. All
the passengers escaped injury except
a baby, who was only slightly hurt by
being thrown out of its mothers arms
and over a seat when the trains
crashed
The passenger locomotive plowed
under the engines of the double-head-
er and the trainmen were buried in
the wreckage. Their bodies were ter
ribly mangled and were also scalded
by the escaping steam.
The freight train had switched from
the main track to siding to allow the
passenger to pass. 1t is unofficially
charged that the switch was not
properly closed and on account of the
heavy fog which prevailed the passen-
ger crew could not see that the target
was set against them.

DUE TO FAMINE CONDITIONS
Heavy Emigration to America From
Eastern Turkey.

Boston. Dec. 30.--Additional ad-
vices from Eastern Turkey and Ar.
menia, received by the American
board of commissioners for foreign
missions, indicate that the famine al.
ready reported is more severe than
was first anticipated and the tide of
emigration to this country was never
so strong as at present.
Secretary Harry w. Hicks writes
from Harpoot that upon returning to
that city recently he met hundreds of
Arabs and Armenians going in the
direction of Samsoon and eventually
to America. All these persons were
young or middle aged, ablebodied
men, representing the strongest ele-
ment of the population in that coun-
try, and sufficiently well off to make
the necessary gift" to leave Turkey
and pay their passage to America. 1t
is estimated that 1900 families have
,Ieft the vicinity of Harpoot since last
April and the tide of emigration is
continually rising.

PRESIDENT ANSWERS APPEAL
NeVada's Executive Expresses Doubt
That Lawmakers Will Not Sanction
Request for Troops Even Though
Called in Extra Session.

Washington, Dec. 30.-President
Roosevelt has indicated by telegram to
Governor Sparks of Nevada that the
federal troops now at Goldfield will be
ordered to remain there for a further
period of three weeks provided the
governor within FIVE days issues a call
for a special session of the state leg,
islature. The telegram of the presi-
dent was in response to one from the
governor in which he sets forth the
need Of armed intervention and eX-
presses the doubt that to call the leg
islature would result in the necessary
request from that body for federal
aid. The presidents telegram is as
follows:
Your telegram of Dec. 26 is re-
ceived. 1t, in effect, declares that
you have failed to call the legislature
together because, in your judgment
the legislature would not call upon
the government of the United States
for the use of troops, although, in
your opinion, 1t ought to do so. The
Constitution of the United States inn
poses not upon you but upon the leg
islature, if it can be convened, the
duty of calling upon the government
Of the United States to protect the
state of Nevada against domestic vio-
lence. You now request me to use the
armed forces of the United States in
Violation of the Constitution,
because, in your judgment, the legis-
lature would fail to perform its duty
under the Constitution. The state
government certainly does not appear
to have made any serious effort to do
its duty by the effective enforcement
of its police functions. | repeat again
what | have already said to you sew
eral times, that under the circum'
stances now existing in the state of
Nevada, as made known to me, an
application from the legislature of the
state is an essential condition to the
indefinite continuance of the troops at
Goldfield. Circumstances may change

the state authorities should do their
duty and the first step toward this is
the assembling of the Legislature. 1t
Is apparent from your telegram that
the legislature of Nevada can readily
be convened You have fixed the
period of three weeks as the time
necessary to convene and organize a
special session. If within five days
from the receipt of this telegram you
shall have issued the necessary notice
to convene the Legislature of Nevada
I shall continue the station of the
troops at Goldfield during such period
of three weeks. If within the term of

PLAN TO PUNISH DESERTERS
Strikers Sign Notes as Receipts When
They Receive Benefits.

Chicago, Dec 30.--A new method Of
furnishing deserters from the union
during strikes has been devised by
officials of the Kansas City local of
the Commercial Telegraphers' union.
During the recent strike of telegra-
piers every member of the Kansas
City local on strike was required to
give a note as a receipt for strike
benefits paid by the union.
The members were given to under
stand the notes would be destroyed
when the strike was called off, but
the papers would be held against any
strikers who returned to work during
the progress of the strike and the
amount of the benefits paid forcibly
collected.
The amount of the benefits paid
was named in the notes given by the
strikers. Secretary Wesley Russell
announced a large number Of suits
had been started by the Kansas City
local to recover strike benefits from
members who deserted during the
strike

WORST IN MANY YEARS .
PittSburg Experiencing Severe Ep-
idemic of Illness.
AFFECTS ABOUT EVERY HOME
Pneumonia, Typhoid Fever and Grip,
Especially the Latter, Are General
Throughout the City, Seriously Af-
fecting Many Industries.

Pittsburg, Dec. 30.-What is said to
be the worst epidemic of sickness
since 1889 is being experienced in
Pittsburg and physicians estimate
that thousands of persons are pros
tTated by pneumonia, typhoid fever
and, especially, the grip. Through
out the city probably every home is
affected in some manner and a scare
tty Of employees in the large Office
buildings is seriously felt. The Pitts
burg Railway company is having diff
Guilty in manning it's cars on account
of conductors and motormen being
laid up with the grip.
City Physician B. A Booth says the
present epidemic of grip exceeds in
scope and severity all but that of
1889, the worst in history, and may
yet break that record. He considers
it contagious and believes the germs
of disease may have originated far
from here In 1889 the malady's start
was traced back through Europe to
Asia end finally located in Hongkong,
China.
DR.. Booth says people affected do
not give up quickly enough and go to
bed. His attention was called to the
fact that thousands have given up and
gone to bed, but he said others who
are struggling along with groans and
complaints should do likewise.
Pneumonia is likely to follow the
trail of the grip if prompt and proper
attention is not given it. Chronic af-
fections of the eyes, ears and throat
are also among the possible after de.

FOOD VALUE OF CURRENTS.

Sir Francis Henry Laking, King Ed wards famous physician, has an arti- cle in the Scientific American on "The food value of dried fruits,' in which he says: From recent analyses of samples of dried entrants the fact has been verified that the fruit contains no less than 73 per cent. of sugar in it's most valuable form. This great sac charic proportion is already in the shape of grape sugar, and thus is po- tential to take up it's work of produc- ing and maintaining energy and vitali-
 ty. It is what is known as 'invert' sug-
 ar, a composite of dextrose and levu- lose. 1t assists digestion; it allays ner- vous excitement, and provides nourish- ment in case of nervous exhaustion. In the dietary of the peasant classes of l Greece, people remarkable for their hardihood and health, the currant ap-

WANTS FOUR WARSHIPS
 SEC'Y METcALF'S REPORT
Calls for More Than $69, 9,000,- 900 for Construction
 What is Needed.

Washington, Dec. 2.--In his annual report to the president, which was made public to-day. Secretary of the Navy Metcalf recommends that Con- gress, at its coming session, appropri- ate 69,27O,OO0 for the construction of new ships. This is the largest apppo- prtation ever asked for by any secre- tary of the Navy for naval increases at one time. and is about two-thirds of the total annual appropriation for the entire naval establishment. including construction, in the last few years. Secretary Metcalf's recommendation is based on the reports of the general board of the navy, and the board of construction. The general board made d recommendation for an increase amounting to $S2,OoO,OOO This report was then considered by the board of construction, which raised the limit of cost on many of the vessels, the in- crease aggregating $7,27O,OOO In gen eral, Secretary Metcalf has followed as to cost, the suggestions of the board of construction rather than the report of the general board
 Among other recommendations is one for four battleships of the Dele ware type at a total cost of $SS,O00, 900.
 MT. Metcalf shows that while the American navy is strong in battleships there are three places where it is weak, and where other great naval Powers are out-stripping the United States in the matter of construction. These de- fects are found in the insufficient num- Der of destroyers, submarines and colliers. Tn regard to the colliers he says that the navy is very deficient. To meet these deficiencies he recom- mends the construction of ten des- troyers, four submarines of the Octo- pus type, the same as recommended as the result of competitive tests, and four fleet colliers. If these colfers were authorized to be built at govern ment yards on the Atlantic Coast, their construction woufd give perman- ent employment, he says, to large force of efficient men. It is understood that this recommendation is made in order to provide work for the navy yards, while the Atlantic fleet is on it's long cruise to the Pacific.
