While our people were enjoying the
Christmas festivities and the goodness
of nature to the fullest capacity, 30O,-
900 souls were claimed by their maker
in Southern Italy on the night of Dec
cmber 2S.
Press reports have been meager, yet
they tell story of horror and suf-
fering that has never been equaled in
{ he history of any coL.l-v
People were sleeping and resting
from the labors of the day before.
They sought their couches with no
thought of the terrible fate to be met
ed out to them before their waking
hour. All was still, suddenly the wat
ors heaved, the earth trembled and
shook Houses were torn assunder
and piled in heaps over the bodies and
lives were crushed out in twinkling.
thousands that escaped with their lives
are either starving with hunger or dy-
ing the terrible death of the maniac.
Four distinct and death dealing
shocks were recorded, the four lasting
thirty minutes. The time was short,
yet when the waters and earth once
more settled, 100000 had been claim
ed by the death angel and thousands
and thousands were either MANNED or
bcreft of reason. Tales of suffering
are awful. Men and women were pini-
mea under heftvy fiihbers and ftahies
licked them up as if they were oil.

BANKS ARE NOT SKEPTICAL
ABOUT A MONEY SHORTAGE
Only 2o4 National Banks Out of 1000
Have Taken Additional Issue of
$5 Currency Notes

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-In view of
the fact that but 204 national banks
out of the total of over 1000 in this
country have acceded to the recent re-
quests of Comptroller of the Currency
Murray that more IS notes be taken
by them it appears that the prediction
of the scarcity of small money in the
crop-moving period this year Is not
looked upon seriously by the bankers
of the country.
Acting upon the theory that an addi-
tional issue of So bank notes would re-
lieVe the demand of $5 silver certificate,
and these being recalled could be ex-
changed for 81 bills, Comptroller Muir
ray two months ago Issued the appeal.
The new issue of S5 notes is being
fed into circulation largely through eX-
change for wornout and mutilated sill
yer certificates and bills of large de-
nomination. Small currency in great
quantities is being turned out by the
bureau of engraving and printing these
days, a daily schedule of $500,000 in 81
bills and $14O,0OO in 50 bills being main
tanned.

REAR-END COLLISION ADDS TO
CHICAGO DEATH LIST
PASSENGER TRAIN PLoWs INTO
FREIGHT CA5oosE
Nearly All the Injured Were En1-
poyed as Stockmen, and
Were Asleep at the
Time
[By Associated Press.l

CHICAGO, Sept. 28.-Six men were
killed and dozen seriously injured
carly today when an outbound Pan
handle passenger train crashed into the
rear of a Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul stock. train at Twelfth and Rock
well streets.
The victims were stockmen, many of
whom were sleeping IN the caboose OF
the stock train, and members OF the
stock train crew. No person on the
passenger train was injured.
While the accident occurred a few
minutes after midnight, the stock train
was so completely demolished and the
victims so badly mutilated that SIX
hours later only two had been ldentl-
fed.
-Four cars were telescoped and the
wreckage was set afire. Many of the
injured were extricated with difficulty
from the burning debris by firemen and
others who hurried to the scene of the
wreck.
The identified dead are:
w. j. STEVENSON of Livingston,
Mont.
II. POTTER of Dion Lake, N. D.
DON SCHLANGER of Fayette, n. D.
JACOB MOTS of Kuhn, n. d.
FRED KOCH of Dickinson, n. D.
JOHN POSTLB of Winona, S. D.
The passenger tram ndd just leIL Ile
Union station, bound for Cincinnati. 1t
was moving rapidly and had just
rounded a sharp curve near a street
crossing when the engineer sighted the
stock train, only a few yards in front
After applying the emergency brakes,
the engineer and fireman of the pas
senger Ieaped from the cab, escaping
injury. No opportunity for escape was
given the sleeping stoekmen in the
caboose, and the sound Of the warning
whistle was drowned in the crash as
the heavy locomotive plowed through
the caboose and three other cars. Fire
added to the terror of the wreck and
greatly hampered the work of rescue.
At the Monroe street hospital the
following list of injured was obtained:
f. G. Buckley Of Fallon, Mont, stock
man, lacerations; e. Fl. Egge, Fallon
Mont, drover, lacerations; Mark Nc
Donald, brakeman, general contusions;

WIII Insist on Terms

II shall therefore urge upon the
congress at it's next session the pas
sage of a law authorizing the DISPOSE
tion of such water sites upon terms
to be agreed upon by the secretary of
the interior with the proposed pur-
chaser. 1t may turn ont that restric-
tions of this sort are so burdensome as
10 discourage the investment of capi-
tai, and it may be necessary to modi-
fly the requirements on this account.
But my own impression is that the de-
mand for water power is going to be
so great that these restrictions will not
prevent the investment of capital, but
will ultimately bring to the public
Golfers a revenue from an entirely prop
er source, and will secure the develop
ment of power for manufacturing in
dustries that will probably in time
exceed the utility and value of coal,
and become a substitute for 1t.
II now come to what should be the
proper disposition of coal lands, oil
lands. and phosphate lands. The an
thracite coal strike evoked a great
deal of discussion in respect 70 the evils
of the ownership by private persons Of
monopoly Of the coal supply Of the
country, and led Mr.. Roosevelt to de-
clare the necessity of preserving the
public coal lands still undisposed of.

RUSSIA PREPARED
TO WAIVE CONTROL
Indication That the ManChu-
rian Question win Be Set
tied Without Clash.

st. Petersburg, Dec 13.-M. KokOvsoff,
minister of finance. in an important state
ment tonight, declared the Russian Rail-
road company had no desire to WELD po-
litical power in Mancnuria and was pre-
pared TO waive its right to control over
the municipalities of Hardin and other
points If a satisfactory substitute could
be devised,
This was the feature of the Russo-Chi
nese convention to which the United
States and other powers objected. Ac-
cOTdlng TO the minister some form OF
municipal administration at Hardin, en-
powered to collect taxes for various pub
lie works and schools is self-evident
necessity.
E1e said he was reddy to discuss pro
posals entrusung the necessary super
vision to she consular body, but that the
railroad would reserve the right to police
its own premises and buildings. No OBJ
Jections could be raised to other features
Of the proposed municipal councils, since
they placed an foreign and Chinese resi-
dents on absolute equality.
The minister declared that the Russian
guards in ManchuTia would not be with
drawn, as has been suggested.
The detailed protest of China against
the Russian memorandum sent to the
powers in October declares specifically
that the administration Of affairs at Har-
bin does not concern Russia, and il was
thought that this protest might be a pre-
liminary to a demand by China for the
withdrawal Of the Russian guards.
Confirming previous dispatches NJ.
Kokovsoff said Russia was ready to con-
slider serious proposal for the sale OF
the ManchUrian railroad, either to Chi
ma financed by an international syndi-
cate, or such a syndicate direct, although
Russia would prefer to wait for the com
pletiOn of the Amur railway. He could
not state the approximate terms on which
the railroad would be disposed Of, but
he said that the fact that Russia had
invested S175.0O0COO in Manchurian rail-
roads must be considered.
The minister denied the Berlin report
that rails for the Amur and second trans
Siberian lines would be purchased in the
United States. Russian industry, he said
needed the contracts

the Russo-Japanese war scare, which was

be taken seriously. The statement of NJ.
