G. ". TRAIN IS REPORTED BURIED

Everett. March Lit is reported
that a snowslide has covered the
west-bound Spokane express, which
has been stalled near Wellington on
the Great Northern line at the sum-
NIT of the Cascades, since last Thurs
day. Fear is expressed that some of
the 80 passengers who remained with
the stalled train have been killed.
The Great Northern has sent relief
train of doctors to the scene, but ow-
ing to the condition of the roads, the
relief train will not be able to reach
within several miles of the buried
train and the relief party will have
to make a portion of the trip ON
snowshoes.
The news of burying the train
came in telephone message from
Scenic Hot Springs, but the connec-
ton was lost before the particulars
could be obtained. Yesterday some
of the passengers suggested that the
train be backed into the Cascade tun-
mel, owing to the danger of slides,
but Superintendent ]. H. O'Neill, of
the Great Northern, thought the train
was safe where It stood. At railroad
headquarters the persons on the train
were given as thirty, but two passen-
gers who walked from the stalled
train yesterday say there are fifty
one passengers, and nine train crews
with the train.

Praise for KnOx's Eastern Policy

The news cabIed to Germany that New
York bankers have made a preliminary
agreement with the Chinese government
for a loan of 100000 is commented
upon in the German press as a strik-
ing proof Of the success Of the CONNER
eial policy of the United States in the
far East
It is believed there that it was very
shrewd ON the part Of the Washington
authorities 10 recognize quickly that
China is d promising field for CONNER

inasmuch as Japan herself is rising rap
idly as a manufacturing and exporting
country and is closing its market 10 out
siders, both by protective tariff and its
own industrial development.
II is held also that a recognition of
this fact was at the bottom of Secretary
Knox's proposal to the powers to neutral
ize the influence Of the Manchurian rail-
ways
The Berlin authorities are keenly in
terested In pushing the interests Of the
United States in China. The present
visit of the crown prince to the far East
offers a strong contrast to the stand
point taken by the Kaiser when. some
years ago. he raised the cry Of yellow
peril" No doubt he has hopes that he
may be able TO regain lost ground by
thIs visit OF his afable son.
German business men are awaking to

ahead OF Germany in the struggle for

tablshment of German schools in China.

United States and other countries have
done far more than Germany in that d.
reetion, And it has been an open secret
this long time that German capital is
building some of the new Chinese rail-
roads.

A MODERN "OLD" MASTER.
John La Fargo Was Creator of Glass
Painting In America.


From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
John La Fargo has been a stimulating
influence in American art and culture
through a much wider range than can he
measured by any individual achievement
recorded in an exhibition catalogue,
Starting life without the spur of neces-
sity. he hesitated long before adopting
art as a profession. and as painter he
never quite lost the qualities Of an anna
teur. But his Intellectual activity led
him, ike so many of the masters of the
Renaissance. into various experiments
that touched the relations Of art with
life at many points, and none Of these
was without its fruit.
Ii IS a part Of La Farge's history that
he was almost the first to bring back
from his travels in the East recognition
Of the genius of japanese art that has
had so vast an influence throughout the
West. Careful study of the art OF the
Renaissance had filled him with enthusi-
asm for the revival of decorative art.
and he was able to enlist the co-opera-
ton of architects. sculptors and painters
in such way that he may justly be re-

progress that has since been made n
this great field OF American art
In one special line of glass-painting,
he may be regarded as a creator. since
he found that art nonexistent in this
country and established il out of his own
experiments. OF his handiwork perhaps
the most conspicuous is the great altar
piece in the Church Of the Ascension in
New York. frankly suggested by Titan,
though a many-sided artist lige La FARCE
is not TO be measured within single
frame
He was man not only OF generous
culture, but of earnest religious faith and
OF a gracious sincerity that won for him
an esteem so universal that before his
death he had been generally acclaimed
the foremost figure in contemporary
American art

Misapplying Trust Funds.

From the Boston Globe.
1t is not generally known that forty
cities and towns in Massachusetts have
misappled their trust funds. Few Of
these municipalities have taken steps to
correct the fault. probably because in
