KILLED IN DEATH TRAP
Accident in a Tunnel on ths Norfolk and
Western R, R.
CRUSHED UNDER BIG ROCK SLIDE.
Strata ol Solid 'Rock Gives Way When Its
Foundations are Removed and Strikes a
Gang of Laborers Fairly Besides the
Nine Killed Five O.hers Arc Injured, Three
of Hem Fatally.
Roanoke. Va. (Special) Nine men
w.-re killed and five others injured, three
of them fatally, by a slide of rock in
the east end tunnel No. 2 at Egglc-toii
Springs, Giles county, on the Nor
folk and Western Railroad.
Railroad contractors were engaged in
double tracking the tunnel at the point
named, and when the tunneling force
had removed the earth and stone for the
railroad tracks at the point where the
calamity occurred a hu"e slice of solid
stone, gave way on the mountain side
and came down at an angle of about 45
degrees, striking the gang of laborers
at work fairly and crushing the life out
of nine men. This strata of solid rock
was connected only by clay seams, and
when the foundation was removed the
strata, some 50 feet long, fell without
warning, catching the men in a death
1 1 a p.
One man was in a niche of the tunnel
way and was only grazed tm the face
and head, escaping with slight injuries.
He was removed witnout great diffi
culty. A second man, who stood on
the outer edge of the slide, was only
slightly hurt, but three others w'erc
more unfortunate and were injured so
badly that it is feared that they will die.
The bodies of the nine men, some .of
them are white, arc still under the
mountain slide.
A wrecking car and derrick were
taken out from Radford, but thus far
they have been of 1:0 avail. There is
no likelihood that the bodies can be re
covered soon, as the rock will have to
be dynamited and removed bit by bit.
This is considered dangerous, as the
length of the strata cannot be ascer
tained, and there is imminent danger oi
a second crash as soon as the base is
removed and a consequent loss of other
lives.
It has been impossible thus far to
secure the names of the victims. They
are known only to the contractors, and
they can judge only by the missing
members of the force. One thing that
is known is that it was a mixed gang,
composed both of white and colored
laborers.
The accident did not delay traffic
materially on the main line. The trains
were delayed, however, by another slide
in Big Tunnel, at Montgomery, 20 miles
cast of Kggleston, and trains were held
at this slide over four hours.
The latest advices from an official
source, so far as the Norfolk and
Western Railway is concerned, are to
the effect that only seven men were
killed outright, but a well-known con
tractor coming to Roanoke from the
scene of the accident gave the facts as
above.
NIU-ChX'WANQ IS RE-OCCUPIED.
Russia Makes Sudden and Surprising Move In
Manchuria.
Pekin (By Cable). The Russians, it
is announced, have rcoccupicd Niu
Chwaug with a large force and have also
put garrison? in the forts at the mouth
of the Liao river. They are further re
ported to be making extensive warlike
preparations.
The news of Russian activity, which
conies from a most trustworthy source
at Niu Chwang, adds that on their re
turn to Niu Chwang the Russian troops
brought with them several large guns.
A large force has been ordered to re

A dispatch from an official at Xiu
Chwang says indications point strongly
to these active preparations being in
tended to guard against operations
against the Russians in Manchuria.

Charleston, S. C. (Special). About
nine miles from Camden Spain Kelley
met W. F. Creech in the road riding in

was wounded, raised up and begged his
assailant not to kill mm, but Kelley tir
ed again. A passerby took the wound

Paris (By Cable). The mysterious
murder of Mme de Brienne, who was
found strangled in her room here, has
aroused widespread interest. The police
at first followed a clue indicating that it

vague descriptive clues. The victim, who
was a well-known figure, came Jrom
America.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
Sultan Forced to Apologize.
An indication of the troubles experi
enced by Mr. I.eishman, United States
minister to Turkey, in his dealings
with that government is di.'closcd in the
Turkish diplomatic correspondence just
made public at the State Department.
In a telegram to the department Mr,
Lcishinan complained that the Grand
Vizier, who had repeatedly declined to
see him, haj countermanded and an
nulled a number of matters upon which
the Mini ter of Foreign Affairs had
acted favorably.
In order to exhaust every effort, Mr.
I.eishman demanded an audience with
the Sultan. Mr. Lcishinan requested in
his telegram to Secretary I lav that un
less the audience was granted" and not
only the questions at issue, but the
principles involved ill them, satisfactor
ily settled, he be given permission to
demand his passports. He said further
"that it would be worse than useless
j and derogatory to the dignity of the
vanned states government to continue
relations with the Sublime Porte, if.
after weeks and even months of hard
and (patient work, business which has
been fully settled with the Minister for
Foreign Affairs is to be rendered una
vailing by the Grand Vizier's conflict
ing and countermanding orders."
Subsequently Mr. Leishman report
ed that the Sultan had expressed the
wish that he overlook the discourtesy
shown him, on the ground that the
grand vizier wa an old man and not
feeling well. Emphatic instructions
were sent by the Sultan to the grand
vizier to receive Mr. Leishman at all
times in a manner "befitting the dignitv
of the representative of a great power'
when Mr. Leislinim consented to re
sume relations.
Mr. Leishman subsequently resumed
relations with the Porte. ;md a diplo
matic rupture was averted.
Oth.T Changes Are to Follow.
Postofficc Inspector Fosnes took
charge of the free delivery service.
Postofficc Inspector in Charge
Thorpe, of New York city, who has
been assisting in the investigation of
the department, will remain with Act
ing Superintendent Fosnes to assist him
in handling some (X the details of the
work. The investigation may result in
other changes in this branch oi the ser
vice. One of the possible results of the
present situation is the abolition of the
office of general superintendent, on the
ground that it is a place the functions
of which are covered by the superinten
dent of the city free delivery service
and the superintendent of the rural free
delivery.
Postmaster General Tayne said that
the transfer of the free delivery to the
office of the fourth assistant and Ms.
Machen's indefinite leave was with the
full knowledge and acquiescence of
First Assistant Postmaster General
Wynne.
Seymour V. TuUoch, former cashier
of the Washington city postofficc, who
in a newspaper interview made grave
charges against the administration ci
the postal service at the time of his re
moval several years ago, was in the
city. Mr. Tulloch said, as a matter of
courtesy to the Postmaster General, he
would await a reasonable time for that
official to act on the request for copies
of letters from ex-Postmaster General
Charles Emory Smith. Comptroller
Tracewcll, Postmaster Merritt, of this
city, and Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow.
Mr. Tulloch declined to say whether
he would then make public the informa
tion in his hands to sustain his state
ments, though insisting that he had am
ple data to corroborate his charges.
Federal Clerk Confesses Forgery.
Frank M. Harnett, a clerk in the
United States Bureau of Ethnology,
was arrested on a charge of forgery.
Harnett's offense consisted in opening
private mail addressed to officials in
the office and abstracting therefrom two
checks for S175. which he cashed at a
local banking house. He admitted his
guilt, and said he used the money to
pay off a debt of $200. He was ap
pointed from Alabama 15 months ago,
is 26 years old and unmarried.
Officers Accused la Alaska.
The officers who were implicated in
the charges of irregular transactions in
commissary supplies at Skagway, Alas
ka, and whose court-martial has been
ordered are Major Charles A. Booth,
Seventeenth Infantry, now at Vancou
ver, Wash., and Capt. F. L. Knudscn,
Eighth Infantry, now at Fort St.
Michael, Alaska. Other officers may
be ordered before a court-martial.
Cb nese Thankful for Aid.
United States Consul Robert M. Me
Wade, at Canton, cabled to the Stale
Department that he has been requested
by the viceroy to send heartfelt appre
ciation of the Christian Herald's con
tribution of $5000 in .aid of tht starv
ing persons in Kwangsi. Consul Mc
Wade also says that nunc help is ur
gently needed.
In the Departments.
The State Department has received
advices from United States Minister
Conger that the Hussions re-entered
Neuchwang and then retired. Secretary
llty was convinced that there was no
need for joint diplomatic action by the
United States, Great Britain and Japan
relative to Manchuria.
Henry B. F. McFarland, president
of the Board of Commissioners of the
District of Columbia, entered upon Ins
second term of three years.
The Postofficc Department was noti
fied that John C. Allgood, a colored
rural free delivery carrier of Gallatin,
Tenii., was stopped by an armed man
and warned to discontinue his work
under penalty of death.
Philippine Commissioner Henry C.
Idc says the friars there hold somewhat
the same relation as the landlords in
Ireland.
The War Department published Col
onel Mills' report exonerating General
Baldwin of the charge of harshly criti'
cising his Filipino soldiers.
Secretary Root accepted the resig
nation of First Lieutenant Charles P.
Faulkner "ior the good of the ser
vice." Save for an altruistic desire for the
higher civilization, the United States
has little or no concern in the outcome
of the present turmoil in the Balkans.
Secretary of War Root has forbidden
the proposed destruction of the walls
around Manila.
Willis Sweet, of Idaho, has been ap
pointed attorney general of Porto Rico,
to succeed James S. Harlan, lio re
cently resigned.
The Slate Department is confident
of the successful negotiation of the
commercial treaty between this country
and China.
The Republican subcommittee of the
Finance Committee will meet at Hot
Springs, Va., in order to draft new
finance bill on the lines of the one in

SENDS BACK THE NOTE
Bulgaria Declares Thai Turkey's Terms
Are Offensive.
FRANCE HAS SENT SOME WARSHIPS.
Reported That Ihi Porte Has Withdrawn the
Note Mustering of Turkish Troops Con
tinues Flailing .between Bulgarians and
Turks at Monastir A German Warship Ar
rives st Salonica.
Constantinople (By Cable). The
Bulgarian government has returned the
Porte's note on the subject of the in
cursion of Bulgarian bands into Mace
donia and the importation of explosives
into Turkey from Bulgaria to the Otto
man commissioner at Sofia in conse
quence of what the government of Bul
garia describes as "its offensive terms."
The mustcringof Turkish troops con
tinues in Macedonia ami Albania, where
soon lii.5 battalions will be distributed.
The Porte issued a statement declar
ing that the reports published in Vienna
of events alleged to have transpired re
cently in the European provinces of
Turkey arc either exaggerated or false.
The Turkish government, with the best
intentions, is doing everything possible
to insure the application of the reforms.
The statement issued of the prompt re
estabiishnunt of order at Salonica is
proof of the capacity and resolution oi
the government to master the situation.
Imperial troops have arrived at Di
akova, European Turkey, and arc con
tinuing their march to Ipck, in order
to support the Sultan's commissioners
there.
Vienna (By Cable). A decidedly op
timistic feeling prevails in official circles
here regarding the relations between
Turkey and Bulgaria, which arc de
clared to have greatly improved within
the last 24 hours. The probability of
war between the two countries is now
considered slight.
The warlike feeling at Constantinople
is believed to be disappearing. It is
frankly admitted that Turkey has seri
ous grounds for complaint.against Bul
garia, but it is believed that the Sultan
is too clever to embark upon a war
from which if he were victorious he
would Rain nothing and in which he
might lose everything.
A Bulgarian band attempted to blow
up a powder magazine at Monastir. It
was surprised by Turkish troops, and a
fight ensued in which tunny of the com
batants were killed or wounded.

Sytcms In Vogue in Fostofflces of First
Grade to Be Looked Into.
v Washington, D. C. (Special). Be
fore the present investigation of the
postoftice department is concluded all
the first class offices in the country will
he overhauled. Postmaster General
Payne made this announcement offi
cially. Air. Payne would not say that his de
termination to do this was caused by
any specific charges against anyone or
more of the offices, but it is believed that
he has received allegations to warrant
the belief that irregularities, or at least
very lax husincis methods, have grown
up in the last decade or longer since any
inquiry into the maimer of the adminis-
Ir-.tir-ti nf llli cerrieo in lhi v-arinna
! larger cities has been made.
Before the investigation into the city
offices is begun, however, the present
charges affecting the department at
Washington will be sifted. Mr. Payne
says it is his intention, if possible, to
purge the whole of that branch of the
government service over which he has
supervision of whatever abuses have be
come a part of the system, He does not
attempt to deny that a number of them
will be found, but says that he has nc
personal knowledge that any exist. Mr.
Payne said :
"I have not yet determined upon the
extent or details of the scheme for ex
amining city postoffices. It may be done
by a committee of experts, who may be
from the postofficc department, or may
be composed of people outside of the
department. This examination will pro
ceed, no matter what may be the out
come of the investigation into the con
duct of affairs in the department. The
inquiry into the way of doing bnsincsr
in the city postoffices will probably re
sult in a change of the system of the
conduct of some or all of the offices."
