Run1Ored Dix Will Be
 Candidate For Senator

he also believes that his election would unite all the factions of the party.
 There is very little question In we'll informed quarters about the support that would be received by the governor from the insurgents. All of them would vote for him gladly, it is believed, and once Murphy gave the word, at least 6s regular votes would be cast for him.
 It is now almost certain that William F. Sheehan Is out of the race. Dix has accomplished that much by working on Murphy. Today the word went forth from Tammany headquarters to all the Greater New York members of the or ganization that they were not to be obliged ito vote for Sheehan in tomor- row nights caucus. It is not expected that the Monday night caucus will give majority to any one. Then the caucus will adjourn, subject to a reconvening by the chairman, and so the process Will go on.
 As the situation develops, it is expect ed that man after man who believes that he would be acceptable to the in- surgents and the regulars would be per suaded that he cannot be elected. It will be demonstrated" to him before his eyes. Then. after the situation Das seemer to become absolutely intolerable and incapable of solution. the governors name will be placed in nomination, and with a hurrah and a sigh of relief he will be elected

Courts To Decide What
 Christian Science Is

"Or is the creed of Mrs. Eddy, in tenet and practice, not a religion of charity but a foe to society, violator of the law and opposed to public policy; as the son of Mrs. Eddy alleges and asks per mission to prove?'
 The amended bill first takes up the Christian Science manual, reciting long list of provisions to show there Is prac- tically no Christian Science church out side the self-perpetuating board of di- rectors, who are in absolute control. and have the sole power to admit to membership.
 Following this the bill quotes at great CT length the manual in support of the petitioners contention that the Chris tian Science church is a great money making institution, through the collec- tion of annual fees from practitioners and the sale of publications, including ths writings of Mrs Eddy, the copyright value of which has been fixed by the New Hampshire court at $1400o.
 All the averments of the original peti- ton as to the incompetency of Mrs. Eddy to exercise unbiased judgment in the management of her affairs are reaffirmed in the amended petition. Also that Mr' Eddy was powerless to protect hers0 against fraud, being in the chargeoI custody of the defendant direct.S ,c' the Mother church, who heldn SS ,e- cluded.

 LIST REACHES NINE

Triton, Ga, March 26.-J F. Powell, baggagemaster of train No. 95, known as the Dixie Flyer" on the Atlantic Coast Line, which early yesterday went through a trestle over the Alapaha river, IS miles east of here, died last night, soon after reaching the Atlantic Coast Line hospital in Waycross, from injuries received in the wreck. This brings the total death list to nine. MT. Powells home, 1t is said, is Atlanta
 No more bodies were recovered today. and it is believed that none remain in the wreckagc.
 None of the other injured, it is stated, are in danger. The most seriously hurt Is w. D. Fletcher of Tampa, who had one arm broken and a shoulder dislo- catcd, and whose bride of three days was killed in Pullman car berth beside him. They had been married at Roland, H., and were on their way to Fletcher S home
 Although wrecking crews have been at work continuously since yesterday, the trestle has not been repaired sufficient ly for the passage of trains. The bridge was new one and the track recently laid With each revolution of the broken axle the timbers of the bridge and the pilng were cut with the giant knife.
 The body of John T. Watson Of Lande. Wyo., was the last one recovered last night. His fiance, Miss Elise Shippey of Pasadena, Cal. who stayed at the wreck and watched the rescuers until his body was found, accompanied it to Waycross. where it was prepared for shipment home

New York, March 26.-(special9-It is stated on high authority that Charles F. Murphy and Gov. John A. Dix have agreed that the only solution of the dead lock over the election of a United States senator lies in electing Dix himself to the senatorship. This statement is made on the authority of one of the shrewdest political leaders in the state. He pre- dicted today that Governor Dix would be the next senator, and said that the developments of the next few days would bear out his prediction. What he said was based on knowledge and upon an alysis of the situation, but he would not say how much he knew about the terms of the agreement.
 The governor has not been inclined, &C., cor6ing to his friends, to permit his name to be considered for the senatorship He professes to be satisfied where he is But it is understood now that he is far from satisfied with his position, and feels that he would like to escape the harrass- ments and difficulties surrounding the chief executive of the state. He be- lieves that solution of the deadlock through his intervention will make him the greatest democrat in the state, and

Riordan, Goldfoge Fornes and Harri- son of New York. Fitzgerald leader of the seceders, is to be chairman of the great appropriations committee. There is indeed hard fight on him, but his friends of the 23 are positive he will win In the caucus, and all present indi- cations are that they are right.
 On the great ways and means com mittee, which, in addition to making the new tariff, will also name all commit tees, the 2S, now reduced to IS, get two members-Harrison and Peters.
 Moon of Tennessee will get either post offices or rivers and harbor chairman ship, the best plum will go to a Tennes- sean, except naval affairs, which senior ity gives to Paddgett. Moon, however. is less objectionable to regular demo- crats because he did not bolt the caucus when he joined the Cannon republicans.
 Pujo of Louisiana will be chairman of banking and currency. Several other good things are claimed for members of the 23 group.
 They stand to be the best cared for ele- ment in the House.
 Whether or not the talk will result in fight to upset the committees work in caucus is question. Such an event is not regarded as unlikely.

HAUL MAGAZINES
 BY FAST FREIGHT Hitchcock Is Developing
 Some New Plans WILL BEGIN JULY 1 New Plan Not Intended to Solve the Problem of Increased Rate on
 Periodicals But It Will
 Greatly Assist

Washington, March 26.-Magazines and other bulky periodicals after July l will be transported by the postoffice de- partment in carloads as fast freight.
 Postmaster General Hitchcock is de- Velopins as rapidly as possible plans which he decided upon last December to utilize fast freight in the transpor- taton of magazines when practicabfe and in instances where saving to the government In transportation charges may be effected.
 "The plans I have decided upon" said MT Hitchcock this evening, are not proposed as a. solution of the pending controversy over the suggested increase of the second-class mail rates on the advertising sections of magazines. but they probably will tend to bring about a solution of that question more early.
 By direction of the Postmaster Gen eral, given in accordance with his plans for transporting periodicals by mail by fast freight the weights of monthly and ssni-monthly periodical mail matter orig mating in large publishing centers are being taken and kept separate from the weights of other mails. The great pub fishing centers are Boston, Springfreid. Mass; New York, Philadelphia and Cni- cago.
 FrOm Juiy l, next, peflod1calS that can be transported in carload lots by fas freight through the section weighed with out disadvantage in delivery will be car ried in this manner and paid for at freight rates.
 Distributing terminals have been es- tablished in Boston, New York, Phila- delphia, Chicago. St. Louis. Omaha. St Paul and Cincinnati. Through matter that can be handled in carload lots will be sent through the weighing section by freight and such additional distribution as is necessary before the matter is de- livered to other railroad postoffice lines will be done in the terminal. Arrange ments will be made with the publishers for a finer separation in the publishing offices and for an earlier mailing of their mail so that the slower method of transportation may not affect the regu- larity or promptness of it's delivery
 We expect, said Mir. Hitchcock, ito effect considerable economies not only in the actual cost of transportation of the matter, but also in the railroad post office car pay in the section that is now being weighed and as the other sections are weighed and the plans adjusted to them, the aggregate saving to the gov ernment will be very large

CHINA WILL GRANT | RUSS|A'S DEMANDS China Is Not Prepared For
 War IS NO OTHER COURSE Chinese Government Will Acquiesce Unreservedly to Demands of
 Russian Ultimatum-Will
 Make Answer Today

Pekin, March 26.-China is not prepared to antagopze Russian completely and as a result of prolonged conferences the Chinese foreign offices today assured the Russian minister, M. Korostevetz, that China will acquiesces unreservedly on Monday to the demands made in the Russian ultimatum concerning the pro- visions of the treaty of 1881 Russia in sisted upon an answer before Tuesday.
 It is generally considered that there was no alternative course, in view of China's utterunpreparedness for war. In- tense interest Is being manifested in the attitude of Japan, which is obviously holding entirely aloof, although nor. powerful than ever at PelSin.
 While the issues between China and Russia almost have been obiterated by the recent series of ultimatums and the- oretically insufficient cause for occupd- tion, Russia apparently fears that she could obtain only paper promises, which the Chinese would not observe unless in- timdated Russians here point out that they have less now in the way of con sessions from China than when the treaty was signed. Some sections of the lega- tion quarter rdicule Russia for not fol- lowing in the first instance the recent example set by Great Britain in occu- pying territory and awaiting Chinese readiness to discuss the contested points. But it is recognized that Russia, by failing to do this has shown that sha does not possess aggressive designs. The Chinese newspapers, which are intensely ignorant of foreign affairs, are very hos tile against Great Britain whom they accuse of beginning the present land grab and they prophecy that both Japan and France will not be long in following suit.
 Reports from Harbin say the Russian railroad has refused to transport several carloads of arms and ammunition des- tined for Chinese garrisons on the from tier. From elsewhere in Manchuria come indicati tions of Japanese readiness to .n- vest south Manchuria, should the Rus sian investment in the north assume a serious aspect.
 Tn recent issue the Pekin Daily News. in an editorial evidently inspired by the Chinese foreign board, declared that China would not submit to the so-caliei aggressons of various powers and that she would not sign away her national rights, which must be taken from her. Whether this was only d threat intended to assist China's diplomacy, tomorrow should show. g

 The promise of Jose Yves Limantour that an entire change of politics in Mexico, given to revolutionary agents in New York, is stil looked to for full tllment by the insurrectos.
 Gonzales G3rza, the insurgent secre- tary of state, in direct correspondence with Madero, said today he did not believe the promise of MT. Limantour referred to only changes In the cabi- net.
 Senor Limantour, by meeting the in- surrecto agents and quoted as saying their demand had some reasonable foundation is regarded as the chief friend of the insurrectos now in Mex ico City.

 A United States company of soldiers and a company of militia were dis patched to. several points up and down the river from this city to prevent vio- lation of the neutrality laws
 Investigation and subsequent develop ments showed that there was nothing in the rumor, and after patrolling the river until almost daylight the troops returned to their barracks.

Concord. N. H., March 26.-(Special.)- George w. Glover, son of Mary Baker c. Eddy, filed through his lawyers yes terday an amended bill in equity pe- titioning the superior court to set aside the residuary clause in his mothers will.
 Under this clause the bulk of Mrs. Eddys estate, totaling close to 5000, 900, is given to the Mother church of Bos- ton.
 Glover's amended petition proves to be a document crowded with surprises. It creates new issue, which many will regard as of pressing public importance.
 The millions left by the founder of Christian Science are pushed into the background as it were. The paramount issue raised by the amended petition IS the Christian Science faith.
 The amended petition, reiterating the averments in the original strikes straight at Mrs. Eddys creed, and the highest court of New Hampshire is asked to determine virtually, this issue:
 'Ts Christian Science a religion, help full to mankind, and also a charity, as the directors of the Mother church make oath that it is?
