RUSSIANS DIE BY HUNDREDS
officiaI Reports Don't Account for All
Cholera Victims.

st. Petersburg, Sept 23.-Up to
noon yesterday the municipal hos
pitals reported for the preceding "a
hours AIT cholera cases and 176 deaths
there is a total of 1887 patients in
the various hospitals.
That the municipa, statistics are in
complete is conclusively proved bv
the number of interments. AT one
cemetery they aggregated 424 for the
last three days, or within 20 of the
total number of deaths reported.
The cholera dead are being inferred
at Preobrazhcnskoe, which is about
one hour distance on the railroad. A
train of several coaches, carrying the
mourners and dozen freight cars
with the dead in rude collins. goes
DAILY to the place. The scenes are
heart-rending in the chapel where
service is conducted uninterruptedlv
night and day.
The scarcity of gravediggers has
caused painful delay in the past few
days, $50 collins containing bodies
now being stored in the ADJOINING
w,oodsshed. Some of the mourners
nave been waiting their turn for sew
eral days.

ABOLISH coLoNIsT RATES.
Plan Almost Unanimously Approved
by Western Railroads.

Chicago, Sept. 2s.--The colonization
Of the western country is going to be
materially retarded If railroads be.
tween Chicago and the Pacific Coast
carry out n plan which has been ad
vanced by executive officials. A prop.
osition has received the approval Of
nearly every railroad in the Western
Passenger association to abolish all low
Or reduced rates after January /, 1909.
This determination has been reached
because Of the alarm felt over tho re.
iuction in net passenger revenues Of
western roads. This reduction is laid at
the door Of reduced rates, and genuine
alarm is felt for the future. Railroad
officials declare that with the 2cent
rate generally there can be no reduced
rate without passing the margin of
profit.
II is estimated that western roads
have lost this season several millions
of dollars in passenger revenues, com
pared with what hey would have en-,
ioycd had they maintained a minimum
2.cent rate west Of Chicago. This con
clusion is based upon careful statistics
prepared by the Alton and other rail.
roads, which show that railroads have
carried more passengers than ever, but
At less net revenue than accrued from
4 smaller movement. This can mean
only one thing, it Is said, and that is
the return of minimum 2.cent rate
everywhere
1t is not expected that this change
can be brought about until the first Of
the year, but it now seems certain that,
Z the public desires reduced rates, they
can be had only by return to the
Scent basis.

TWENTY KILLED
IN TRAIN WRECK
Passenger and Freight Trains Crash
Together In.MOntdnd.
Not One In Smoking Car Escaped
Death or injury-Blinding Snow
Storm Prevented Engineer Seeing
Danger Ahead = Freight Should
Have Been on Siding.

Butte, Mont. Sept. 26.-In the
worst wreck in the history of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, 20 persons
were killed, 10 seriously injured, sew
eral fatally and about 80 more or less
injured in a collision between passen-
ger train No. 16, known as the east
bound Burlington flyer, and a west
bound freight train, at $40 o'clock
yesterday morning, at a siding known
as Youngs Point. about thirty miles
west OF Billings. The fast travelling
passenger train crashed into the
freight just entering on the siding dur
ing binding snow storm, the en-
gineer of the passenger failing to see
the signal flag Of the brakeman of the
freight train in time to avert the
crash.
A heavy, wet snow which was fall
ing at the time prevented the wreck
from catching fire, and undoubtedly
held the death list down to the figures
given. Every effort is being made by
the division forces, aided by volun-
teers from Livingston and Billings, to
clear the wreck, and SO far they are
able to prevent further loss of life.
None of the passengers from the
sleeping cars was injured. The train
was made up of an engine, baggage
car, smoker, day coach and two
Pullman sleepers.
The efforts to prevent fire were sue
cessful and that horror was saved the
wrecked passengers. On the arrival
of the relief train the injured were
transferred around the wreck and
taken to Billings.
The express car was raised over the
platform of the smoker, and swept
superstructure, seats and passengers
OFT. Not a passenger in this car es-
capped death or injury. The other pas
sengers escaped with cuts and bruises.
The scenes around the smoker were
beyond description, heads, bodies, legs
and arms being interviewer with
broken seats and equipment. In one
place hve bodies were packed on top
OF each other. In another seven had
to be pulled apart 1t was almost i'm
possible to succor the injured without
trampling on the dead.
Railroad men, while refusing to be
quoted officially or allowing their
names to be used because of the reg
ulations of the road in connection
with publicity as to wrecks, intimate
that the freight train was stealing
time, that it had no orders to proceed
to Youngs Point and should have
waited at Park City, about six miles
from the scene of the wreck, for the
passenger train. This is supposed to
explain why the Burlington train was
travelling about so miles an hour past
the siding

cHINEsE.AvolD-HEAo TAX.
Hundreds ADMITTEDLY Into Canada on
False Statement.

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 2s.--A scheme has
lust been laid bare by the controller Of
Chinese immigration at ottawa, which
is believed TO be the most deliberately
conceived fraudulent device for effect
ing the Chinese "invasion' Of Canada
ever perpetrated.
BY means Of this device hundreds Of
young Celestials have been flocking in
1t the eastern ports Of the Dominion
and escaping the $500 head tax by
passing themselves of as merchants OF
other privileged classes. Canada has
'hus been victimized through honorng
certificates Of the charge d'aifaires ad
interim and consul general at the i'm.
perial Chinese legation in Mexico.
Statistics in the trade and commerce
department here show that $50 Chinese
immigrants were admitted into Canada
recently at the ports of Montreal and
Halifax alone, withour paying the head
tax and that not more than 10 Chinese
should have been so favored.

ROCKEFELLER AS AUTHOR.
Oil King Makes Denial of Accusations
Against Him.

New York. Sept. 25-John D.
Rockefeller appears for the first time
in the role of an author in a series OF
articles on Some Random Reminis-
cences of Men and Events the first
OF which will appear on Friday in
Work"
Mr. Rockefeller gives as reason
Tor speaking now that ''if tenth Of
the things that have been said are
true, then dozens of able and faithful
men who have been associated with
me, many of whom have passed away
must have been guilty of grave faults
FOR myself, | had decided to say,
nothing, hoping that after my death
me truth would gradually come to
the surface and posterity would do
strict justice; but while | live and
can testify to certain things, it seems
ialr that should refer to some points
winch | hope will help to set forth
several much discussed happenings in
new light. / am convinced that
they have not been fully understood
1t has been said that forced the
men who became nv partners in tbe
OIL business to join with me. would
not have been so short sightessS If il
were true that followed such tactics,
| ask, would it have been possible to
make OF such men lifelong com
panions?"
Mr.. Rockefeller speaks of the de-
velopment of the Standard Oil com
pany and says that the plan of selling
airect to the consumer and the ex-
ceptionaily rapid growth of the bust
ness bred certain antagonism
which ! suppose could not have been
avoided"
