TRAINS COLLIDE; EIGHT DEAD
Eastbound Apple Train and West
bound Freight Meet In Cut.

Eastbound Apple Train and West
bound Freight Meet In Cut.
Spokane, Wash. - Eight are known to
be dead and four known to be more or
less seriously injured AZ a result Of
one Of the most disastrous freight
wrecks In the history of the Great
Northern railroad, near Chattaroy.
Wash. The wreck was the result OF
hesd-on collision around sharp curve
In a deep cut, fairly at the bottom of
two steep grades. Two hesvily-loaded
trains running at an exceptional rate
OF speed combined almost every condi-
tion possible to make the impact so
disastrous.
Traffic on the main line of the Great
Northern will have TO be suspended
from 40 to AZ hours. The wreckage
will hardly be removed and the line
cleared before that time.
Train No. 451, running on its reg
ular schedule, westbound, collided with
the "apple extra" eastbound, running
on fast schedule Of five hours be-
tween Hillysrd. Wash, and Troy,
Mont. Train No. 451 was loaded
with paints, oils, some furniture and
some livestock, much of it extremely
inhammable material and considerably
lighter than the apple extra, which
carried. besides fruit, heavy loads Of
grain and furniture.
Every man Of both train crews who
happened to be near the front Of his
train Is dead. One brakeman saved
himself by jumping, but he is serious
ly injured.
The brakemen who happened TO be
in the rear Of their trains escaped with
minor injuries.
The loss In the wreck Is very large.
A pile Of 10 cars Of train No. 451.

Religious Orders Barred

Madrid-The senate as passed by a

which prohibits the creation of further
religious establishments in Spain until
the revision Of the concordat with the
Vatican has been completed. The con-

toward the ecclesiastical senators dur
ing the debate led to the impression in
official circles that way would be
found to resume negotiations between
the government and the Vatican for
revision of the concordat.

land have already been burned and the

Victoria, B. C.-Seven banks in
Shanghai, including several large ones,

brought this news, left Yokohama Oc-

FIRST BLIZZARD HITS EAST.
Snow, sIeet and High Winds Tie Up
Atlantic Coast.

Atlantic Coast.
New York - Rushing in from the
ocean, one of the heaviest fall biz
yards of years struck the Atlantic sea
board, piling snow and sleet upon New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wash
inRton and intermediate points, tear
ing down telegraph and telephone wires
and delaying trains.
The entire coast north of Baltimore
is covered with thick blanket of
soggy, wet snow. Telegraph wires
were broken down SO badly by the
sleeG that the telegraph companies re-
ported that they we're getting CONNER
cial messages through only at great
effort and at cost Of considerable
delay.
The storm was the most severe about
Baltimore and Washington, all wires
being reported down between these
two cities. In Eastern Pennsylvania
communication with Chicago could be
obtained only by way of Boston.
Trains were delayed everywhere and
some Of the trolley lines had to give
up all attempts at maintaining regular
schedules.
Washington communicated only in
termittently with the rest Of the world.
Wires were blown in all directions by
whirling mixture Of snow and rain,
which swept over the city all night.
There is no communication whatever
between the national capital and points
to the north, and in other directions
wire service is almost as bad.

worth half that much. A fall in price

Pekin--An official decree was issued
announcing that an imperial parlia-

would be convened in 1913.
This is a concession to the demands
Of the recently constituted senate and
delegations of the provincial assem-
blies. The program fixed by the late
empress dowager provided for the as-
sembling of an imperial parliament in
1915, but until recently the throne had
refused to entertain petitions praying
that the date be advanced. The de-
cree sets forth that the parliament
will be convened in three years.
The police went from house to house
informing the occupants of the edict.
Presently the dragon banner and paper
lanterns appeared above every door.
Beyond this there was no public mani
festation over the momentous news.

Stites--Hay raisers In the territory
tributary to Sites have lost heavily in
the last few weeks by holding their
crop, and from present indications
there is but little prospect to regain
the lost ground. There is stored in To-
cal warehouses between $50 and 500
tons Of timothy, baled .and ready for
immediate shipment, for which the
producers az late as the middle of
September refused $1s and 500 ton,
and now the best figure quoted by deal
ers IL S12.
Howard Williams. agent for Kerr
Clifford, extensive hay and grain buy
ers, said there Is little outlook for bet
ter prices until next spring.
1.-THE only market we have for our
product. " said he, "a is at Coast points,
and the tide water dealers do not seem
anxious to buy, even at present prices,
as they have loaded up on high priced
stun, and are DESTROYS Of disposing of
this before tying up additional capital.
Little grain has been disposed of
since the close of the harvest season.
Farmers are unwilling to sell at pre-
vsiling prices. Wheat has dropped
six cents in the last two weeks.
Russian wheat is being delivered
in Liverpool at the rate of 5000, 900
bushels week, and it is useless for
American dealers to attempt to com
pete with this cheap cereal. Argen-
zine and Australia, both of which coun-
tries have heavy crop this year, will
begin marketing their output as soon,
or even before, the Russian delivery is
completed.
Coast dealers are practically out of
the market, and but few shipments
will be forwarded from interior points
during the coming winter"
