PORTLAND, Jan. 3.-A special to
the Oregonian from Comstock, Ore,
says the northbound Portland express,
a fast passenger train on the South
ern Pacific railroad between San
Francisco and Portland, was wrecked
about I o'clock tonight, two miles
north Of that place. Engineer Wech-
land was killed and Fireman Long is
missing. The passengers were unin-
jured. The accident occurred on re-
Gently filled trestle, which had been
undermined by the torrential rains of
the last few days. The train was
drawn by two engines, the combined
weight of which crushed the fill and
threw them over the embankment,
down which they plunged to the bot
tom of the canyon 100 feet below, The
mail car was dragged around at right
angles and turned over, but did not
follow the engines. The smoker was
derailed, but the rest of the train did
not leave the track. The track has
sunk behind the train. SO it cannot
be moved in either direction and is
now perched on a shelf on the steep
grade of the canyon.

Declares That Patriotic Citizens

NEW YORK, Jan. :.--William r.
Hearst reiterated yesterday at meet
ing of the City Committee of the In
dependence League, that he never will
be again a candidate for office. Mr..
Hearst said:
Il myself am not and will not be
again a candidate for any office, but
am as much interested as ever-and
even more interested than ever-in the
promotion of the principles of the In
dependence League. 1t seems to me
that We can all feel satisfaction upon
which has been and is being accom-
plished. And 1t seems to me as pa
triotic citizens, we need not care par
ticularly what individual puts the
principle and reform into effect, as
long as they are actually accom-
plished for the benefit of our fellow
citizens
II believe that the league will go
forward to further and greater
achievements, and l heartily offer you,
my friends, my best services as fell
low worker to those ends"

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 3.-The
police have not succeeded in Identify
ing the Terrorist who killed Major
General Won Der Launitz, prefect Of
police Of st. Petersburg, this afternoon
at the Institute of Experimental Med
icine and who coolly turned the re-
volver upon himself while he was fall
ing under the sabres Of the projects
escort. The authorship Of this crime,
however, like the assassination Of
Count Ignatieff and the unsuccessful
attempt to blow up Premier Stolypin,
has been traced to the fighting organ
ization of the Social Revolutionists
who recently resolved to resume full
terroristic activities. The organiza-
ton tonight issued its customary
pamphlet, avowing and justifying the
killing of Won Der Launitz, which was
accomplished with an ease and sim
plicity that has struck terror into the
hearts of all other officials on the rev.
olutionary death list. The man who
committed the crime belonged to the
working class. The police affirm he
was a Jew. He was provided with
card of admission to the dedication of
the church, but this card bore no
name. The authorities have not been
able to learn how he obtained the in
vitation to the ceremonies, which were
extremely select, only $50 cards hav
ing been issued. The fact that Won
Der Launitz was to attend the conse
Grafton of the church was not gener-
ally known, and the Terrorists must
have learned of the fact from police
sources. The prefect was accompan-
led by his usual bodyguard of secret
service men, but not one of these had
the slightest suspicion of the muir
derer, although his toiled- stained
hands were completely out of harmony
with his faultless evening clothes, The
fall of Won Der Launitz was followed
by indescribable hysteria and confu-
sion. The Duke of Oldenburg, who
was one of the few men who retained
composure, seized the assassin's hand
after he had fired twice and several
succeeding shots were discharged into
the cealing. Before the duke could
disarm him, one of the officers who
accompanied the prefect drew his sa-
bre and struck the assassin a powerful
blow which completely cut out a por-
tion of his skull. AS the man was
falling he shot himself in the stomach
with the last bullet in his revolver. His
death was instantaneous, but several
officers continued to hack his pros
trate body until the Duke of Olden-
burg struck up their swords and forced
them to desist. Won Der Launitz was
governor Of Tambov during the terri
BILE repressions of the Agrarian disor-
ders in Tambov province in retribution
for which Mile. Spiridonovo shot
Chief Of Police Luzhenoffsk.
