RAILWAY DISASTER IN CANADA
Part OF Train Plunges Into lee Cover
ed River.

North Bay, Ont, Jan. 21.-Death
In all its most terrible forms blotted
out the lives of at least a score and
perhaps two score people this after
noon. when four cars Of a Canadian
Pacific passenger train on the 500
branch leaped from the tracks and
tearing down steep embankment,
plunged through the ice-covered sur
face of the Spanish River. Some were
drowned, others were crushed to
death in grinding timbers. Most ter
rible Of all. MANNED and injured,
caught in the wreckage Of one of the
cars, were burned to death.
The exact number of dead and in
jured was still unknown here at a
late hour tonight. as telegraphic COM
munication has not yet been estab-
lishcd with the scene Of the wreck
but according to stories told by in
jured passengers brought to Sudbury.
1t was one Of the worst catastrophies
In the history OF Canadian railroads.

KNOX PROPOSAL RE.JECrEn
Russia and Japan Reject Plan to
Settle aMnchurian Railway Ques.
tiOn.

81. petersburg, Jan. 23.-The de-
livery OF the Russian and Japanese
answers to the note Of Secretary
Knox proposing the naturalization Of
the Aanchurian Railways, both OF
which were in the negative. marks
merely the beginning Of protracted
negotiations to determine the future
status of Manchuria.
The proposal of the purchase of
the existing railroads in Manchuria.
as formulated by Secretary Knox ;s
considered here to have been put for
ward largely with the idea of again
getting Russia and Japan on record.
since its rejection was foreordained
from the moment Japan was includ-
ed in it. The tenor of the memor.
andum indicated that Mr.. Knox did
not expect acceptance of his PROPOSE
ton, but had based hopes for an al
ternative proposal for the neutrali-
zation Of the Chin Chow Algun. A
future railroad and building up a.
powerful organization which would
be In a position to support China
when the date of the optional re-
purchase, 1889, arrives.
The foreign office here has been
most keen to ascertain further de-
tails concerning the Chin Chow-Al-
gun railway proposal, and an official
repeatedly has sounded Mr.. Rock
hill, the United States Ambassador
concerning it, not so much to learn
the general financial ARRANGEMENT,
but whether the line North of Tsilsi-
har would be abandoned and wheth-
re Russia's special interest would be
recognized in the building and op-
Grating Of the northern sections of
the railroad.
Russia's final attitude upon the
question will depend largely on the
spirit in which the United States ap-
proaches the question of the ad-
ministration Of Harbin, Rokovsoff,
minister of finance. and M. Isw olsky,
minister OF foreign affairs, are ex-
asperated by the difficulties raised by
this question. NJ. Iswolksy recently
told Mr.. Rockhill fiattly that the
United States would drive Russia to
arms with Japan If it persisted in its
incorporating attitude concerning
the Hardin administration.

the rights Of the other party. On
the trip to winthrop a certain we'll
known and popular railroad man,
speaking of the trouble that the rail-
roads went to for the arrangement
of trips for the legislature, said that
they did not object to it at ALL they
were willing to go to any reasonable
expense to get the members of the
assembly where they could not leg-
islate," it was cheaper for the rail-
roads to haul them about over the
State than to comply with their leg
islative enactments.
The new rule of the house to take
up general orders where the work Of
the preceding day was left off, Is
going to work something of a revolu-
ticn in the house procedure. The
new bills get better chance, which
has its advantages, but with the slow
progress that the house is making,
hardly half page a day, with near
ly forty pages already on the caleu-
great majority Of bills, and the
scramble for special orders is going
to be fierce. The house is likely to
start night sessions soon.

LANSING, Mich, Aug. 6.--Accord-
ms to the monthly crop report issued
from the Office OF the secretary of
state, the severe frosts In the budding
season, ravages OF insects and the ex-
tremely dry and hot weather during
the month OF July have SO injured the
apple crop that this years yield will
be the lightest in the past 40 years.
The winter varieties that promise best
are In their order: Baldwin, North
ern Spy, Ben Davis, Russet and Green
ing.
The poor prospect for an average
crop of peaches in the Michigan fruit
belt is SO per cent. and in the state
40 per cent. One year ago the pros
pect was II and 81 per cent, respec-
lively.
Aside from few complaints Of smut
correspondents quite generally report
that wheat is of good quality and the
yield is above the average for the past
10 years. The average estimated yield
per acre Is IS bushels. Last month
231,1S bushels of wheat were market
ed, indicating that the 1909 crop has
been disposed Of
Neither oats. corn, potatoes or SUI
gar beets came up to the average OF
a year ago and IL is estimated that all

sights of the neighborhood, standing
pearance Of castle.
Kerr did not keep any accurate ac-
count Of the cost, but according to the
figures he can gather. 1t would run
somewhere In the neighborhood OF
$500 for the house and 30-foot lot. He
paid 5000 for the lot itself. When he
commenced to dig for the founda-
tons, however, he found beautiful
bed Of building sand, and below this
a layer of fine gravel. As the lot was
too high, he was able to sell of two
carloads of gravel and several hun
dred loads of sand, and have enough
left to build his house. He did all
the work himself. His cement cost
him $3.50. and lumber and windows
about $3.50 more. and he thinks the
lot will stand little more sand being
hauled away, which will further re-
duce the cost.

100 PASSENGERS SAVED AS
SHIP SINKS NEAR JUNEAU
Canadian Pacific Steamer Strikes
Rock In Dense Fog-Crew Also
Reaches Land Safely.

VICTORIA, Aug. 6.-The big Cana
dian Pacific steamer Princess May,
carrying 100 passengers, struck rock
In Lynn canal, north of juneau, early
yesterday morning and sank All the
passengers and crew reached shore.
The vessel struck In a dense fog.
There was no panic. The sea was
perfectly smooth at the time. Only
meager reports have been received
md these were sent by the wireless
operator on the steamer.
The Princess May, which runs reg
ularly between Skaguay and Vancou-
yer, left the Alaskan port with 100
passengers and a crew OF IS. Among
the passengers were many tourists,
who are making the journey through
the canals of the Alaskan coast, and
were on the way home.
A dense fog settled over the coast
and the steamer proceeded cautiously
under the slow bell, through sea on
which there was scarcely a ripple.
Lynn canal contains a number OF
islands from which project reefs and
hidden rocks on the Sentinel islands.
One OF these the steamer struck.
The Princess May, which Is an old
single bottom iron steamer, sank
quickly, but as she went down In
shallow water Il was an easy matter
10 take of the passengers. The yes
sci must have gone down In very
short time, as but one wireless mes
sage was sent by her operator. Ales-
kan advices state that the passengers
were taken back TO Juneau.
The scene OF the wreck Is near
where the steamer islander was lost
a few years ago when 81 persons per-
ished.
