Livingston, Mont. Sept 25.-Bur- lington passenger train No. 16, running on the Northern Pacific tracks. which left Livingston east bound at 5:O5 this morning. met a west bound freight train in a head-on collision at Young's Point, a siding about eighty-ei miles east of here during a binding snow storm. Fireman BabcOck of the passenger train and Fireman Phillips of the freight train, both of Living ston. and Head Brakeman Milo Hallo- way of Billings, and 19 passengers were killed outright; eleven other pas sengers. two engineers, the mail clerks and a baggageman on the passenger train are seriously injured. Most of the injured probably will die.
 The freight an extra, westbOund, in charge of Conductor Hickey was head ing in at the siding when the passen- ger train, in a binding snow storm, struck it. No one had any warning and the passenger engine struck the freight engine full in the side, telescop- ing the mail, baggage car and smoker crushing a day coach and pinning the
 
 splintered wreck of the engines of the passenger and freight cars. A heavy wet snow falling at the time prevented the wreck from catching fire and un- doubtedly held the death list down.

SIZZLING STATEMENT
 BY SENATOR FORAKER
His Reply to the Charges of Hearst and
 Roosevelt
After Explanation of the ArchbOId COrrespOndence He Speaks of the Taft No Compromise Letter and Incidentally Alludes to Empty Dinner PaiIs

Cincinnati. Sept. 25.-In a long statement Senator Foraker today took up the recent charges of Hearst and Roosevelt. explaining his temporary connection with the Standard Oil company, discussing the Brownsville incident and his connection with the rate bill He says:
 The president commences his statement in the publication of Taft's letter win a bitter arraignment of me because of Hearsts charges, which he appears to have accepted as fully proven as soon as they were made He doesn't wait for proof or explanation and does not accept the same when offered. Hearst's charges are not simply that I was employed by the Standard oil company and that I was paid for my services, but that I was secretly employed for ille- gitimate purposes and that the mon ey I received was paid as compen- sation for improperly influencing leg islatiOn in congress in conflict with and in violation of my official du- ties.
 That I was employed by the Standard Oil company was never concealed. On the contrary such employment was well known at the time to all concerned. In a previous statement I explained that my em- ployment was confined to affairs in Ohio. in organization after the trust was dissolved by an order of the supreme court, an employment in no relation to anything in which the federal government was inter- ested or in respect to which congress was legislating or proposing to leg islate. My employment ended long before the company was subject to the special attention of congress and

STANDARD OIL co.
 OWNS TIE MARKEl
Spectators Can Only Guess at What 1t Is Doing.

New York, Sept. 25.-Professional operators in the stock market have come to a practical agreement on calling it a Standard oil market. The attention of the speculative element was wholly centered today on eff forts to determine what the Standard Oil brokers were doing. This was because of a conviction that the market is under the control of a combination of capitalists having af- filiations with the Standard Oil com pany.
 The market was in a constant state of hesitation and unsettIement throughout the session. The open selling of large amounts of Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and Read ing by houses which were the larg- est buyers yesterday broke prices from a brisk early advance.
 Bonds were firm; total sales, par value, $3,772 ,0O0. United States bonds were unchanged.

 THE JUMBLED LETTERS.
 "Mr. Hearst accompanied the read ing of two letters with comments calculated, if not intended, to con- vey the impression that one had ref erence to the other, and constituted evidence that I was, for money re- ceived, trying to influence legisla- tion in accordance with the views of ArchbOld. The dates of the two letters show that the money was sent almost a month prior to the letter about the Jones bill.
 This ordinarily would be enough to disconnect the two in the aver age mind, but I have already shown in a former statement that a certifi- cate of deposit was sent on account of the proposed purchase of the Ohio State Journal, and that the proposition to purchase being aban- dOned, it was returned on the 4tk day of February, only a week after it was received"
 Mir. Foraker here introduces let ters to verify his statement as to the newspaper proposal. He continues: Until now I have not made any statement about the letter Hearst read at Columbus, from Archbold to me, dated March 9, 1900, calling my attention to two bills introduced in the Ohio legislature by Mir. Price have delayed saying anything about this letter because. having no rec ollection on the subject, I have been trying to ascertain, if received the letter, what I did with it, or did on account of it.
 T cannot find any trace of such a letter in my files or of my answer in my lettef book. I have not been

THE SUBSEQUENT PERIOD.


 While l have occasionally heard from Archbold during the period since the termination of my employ ment in the early part of 1901, do not recall receiving any letter from him except one relating to the Jones bill, and that had no reference to the pending bills or anything with which I had any official duty. In any event he never addressed me on any subject since my employment except only as any other citizen with whom I was acquainted might have done, and there was never a sugges- tiOn from him or from anybody else that l was under the slightest obli- gatiOn to support or oppose any pro- posed legislation on behalf of that company; nor was there ever a sug- gestiOn by anybody that I should re- ceive compensation or reward of any kind on that account. And what is true in this respect as to the Stand ard Oil company is also true as to any other trust or corporation.
 Notwithstanding that the presi- dent says in his answer to Mir. Bryan of September 23rd that I was the representative and defender of cor porations in the senate, there is not a word of truth in such a statement, whether made by him or anybody else, and there is not a scrap of evidence that can be produced show ing such charge that cannot be as fully and satisfactorily explained as has been explained the letter about the Jones bill and the proposed pur- chase of the Ohio State Journal.
 "This brings me to Mir. Taft's let ter relating to a proposed compro- mise and what the president said in his comments on the same. If the president in publishing it had not withheld the name of the man to whom it was written, it might be easier for me to show that 1 am not responsible for that mans action. That man would have refuted the impression the president apparently seeks to create that he wrote at my instance. I have not at any time or in any way sought Taft's help for re-electiOn.
 HIS PROPOSED ELIMINATION.
 When Taft's candidacy for the presidency was first announced I was sur DilStu AO ltstlAl IT oli Nllt news liet- pers that the program of those hay ing it in charge involved my 'elimi- nation from public life. An open declaration of war such as tie elim- ination proposition. involved naturally brought controversy and strife, whe.i there should have been only peace.
 Possibilities continued until Taft was nominated. when so far as I was con .cerned, they stopped instantly, and I supposed from the character of Taft's response to my note of cOngratulatior that they had stopped on his part; al least I was so assured by his friend: ana managers. Taft's letter performs the very important office of exonerat- ing Burton from the charge of having spoken without authority and it fixes the responsibility for that offensive utterance where it belongs.

 The suspicion was strengthened by the conviction that the bull party has not rnsre any effective distribution of their holdings held back from te msrRst with uSre Srea, 0ss psrs tinaeity. Late in the day. the particular weakness of the Rock Island ground gave suggestion of more influential leadership for bear turn in the market and the attack on prices became somewhat more aggress- I've with weak closing at the lowest. Tho action of the market was attributed to pure iy technical causes and found M expiana- tion in any positive development In the days news There. however. was a rather striking contrast in some of the views on industrial affairs, that have been heard in the stock market and those that came from strictly trade sources. The complaint voiced by the leading Iron and steel service. over the tardiness of the revival in that industry is an example. Today's publica- ton by those authorities was calculated tn dash sanguine views over the present stage or improvement. whatever hopes may be maintained of the future.
