PLUICED
INTO RIVER
Dover. Okln.. Sent. 18. nock Island
passenger train No. 12, known as tho
Chicago limited, enroute from Ft.
Worth, Tex., to Chicago, plunged Into
the Cimarron rivor near here this
morning.
How many pcrhons were drowned
like rats in a trap may never he
.known, as there is no roster of the
passengers on the train. Tho railroad
olticlals are persistent In declaring
that not more than three or four per
sons were killed, but It is generally
believed that not less than 25 of the
passengers on the Ill-fated train met
death in the surging waters of the
river, which is a thousand feet wide
at. this point and extremely deep owing
To recent heavy rains. '
The wreck was ca'usedby the whaler"
eriing of a railroad bridge, due to ,he
unprecedented rise of the river. iW
train was being hauled by Engineer
lies, who had no warning of the im
pending disaster until he was within
possibly a hundred and fifty feet of
the stream. "
TOO LATE TO STOP TRAIN.
When too late to bring his train to
a standstill, he noticed that the bridgo
was out of alignment Both the en
glnaer and fireman deserted their
posts and were but slightly Injured
by jumping. A moment later the en
gine reached the bridge, tho weakened
--structure crumbled like so much put
ty, and all but two cars plunged into
the torrent, part of the equipment to
be burled in the treacherous quick
sand, while other sections floated off
into the main current which was run
ning like a mill race.
It Is stated tonight that but seven
people, escaped from the smoking car,
Sheriff Love, of Kingfisher county, be
lng.one of the number. After the car
had been prectpitatedto the 'bottom
of the river. Love broke one of the
windows and after reaching the sur
face of the stream swam a distance
of nearly half a mile before he suc
ceeded In reaching the shore.
Statements aslathe number of peo
ple on the train vary, one hundred
and twenty-five being the minimum.
" ANOTHER STORY.
Aspec'Ial to thes Oklahoma Post from
Dover Okla7, says: This morning at
a few; minutes after 8 o'clock, the
- RockTsland passenger train No. 12, 3
hours .late and running at a high rate
of speed, ran through the bridge of
the Cimarron river at Dover, submerg
ing the mail car, baggage car and
smoker and the day coach.
The day coach which was well fi'l
ed with passengers thrned on its side
and rapidly filled with water and
v beached about 100 yards down the
river. The passengers in the chair
car and two Pullmans, which remain
ed on the track, went at once to the
rescue and succoededed in pulling
from the windows the women and chil
dren who were being held above tho
water in the car. No bodies have been
recovered. The water In the river, is
higher than it has been known before
and little workr can be done towards
clearing away tho wreckage before
morning.
Persons have been found as far as
14 miles from tho .bridge. Many of the
persons in the wreck when brought
to this city did not report their in
juries to the appointed physicians and
It is Impossible to learn the extent of
their injuries.
Many otherB who were not injured
are In a serious condition owing to
the exposure and from swallowing the
muddy water of the river. Physicians
fear an attack of pneumonia In many
cases.
WORKED LIKE A HERO.
The baggage car and the smoker
have not been located up to a late
hour this evening and it is thought
they have been torn to "pieces In the
rapid current. The day coach and the
mail car aro stranded In about twelve
feet of water. The train was In charge
of Conductor -Thomas, who worked
like a hero in his efforts to, save the
lives of the men, women and children
who were caught and unablo to help
themselves In the water.
Clyde Glest, of Dover, is the only
man known to have escaped, ho being
on tho platform of the smoker when
It fell. He swam and waded three
mlleu to reach Dovei' and notified Enid
of the disaster and three relief trains
left Oklahoma City Immediately carry
ing physicians and nurses, but a mile
of rush water in each side precludes
any rescuer from reaching the wreck.
Around the World on Stilts.
Chicago, Sept. 18 Albert N. Rough
ton and Herman DIgnon returned from
a 37,000 mile trip around the world on
stilts. They started from Chicago
February 18, 1902, on a wager, but did
not make their plan public. After
covering 4,000 mileB in this country
they embarked from San Francisco
and went to England by way of Cape
Horn. From Liverpool they traveled
through Europe and Asia. Their stilts
were nine feet high at the start, but
now measure barely four and a half.
They aro six months ahead of their
wager.

T
COSTS LIS
Hong Kong, Sept. 19, Full details
of the list of causualties resulting
from the visit of the typhoon Tuesday
aro as yet unobtainable, various es
timates of the dead ranging from
150 to 250.
Traffic In the city is paralyzed and
business is at a standstill. The dam
age to tho shipping in the harbor
was enormous. Hundreds of" Junks
wore completely wrecked, while In a
number of cases vessels were swept
by tho high water from their anchor
ages" and piled up in the streets of
Hong Kong. Many small steamers
were totally wrecked and a number
of large vessels were driven ashoro
an3 are in dangerous position's. The
ftreets in the immediate vlclnlty7gf
ho harbor arje floodedand" piled high
with debris. '" ' '
Not alone was tho shipping in the
harbor damaged, but warships did
not escape unscathed. The French
torpedo boat destroyer Franclsque
and the British gunboat Phoenix were
sunk, while tho British gunboats
Robin and Moorhen and tho torpedo
boat destroyer Taku were severely
damaged. The French torpedo boat
Fronde collided with an unknown
steamer in tho harbor during the
storm and sunk the vessel. .It Is
known that twenty persons were
drowned. The property damage,
outside of shipping, is enormous, and
It is estimated that tho losses to
business houses along the water
front and the nearby residential
section, will amount to more than
one million dollars. Most of the
casualties are among the natives,
and so far as can bo learned no for
eigners aro among the dead. The
storm struck" the city with but little
warning at 10 o'clock in the morning
and for two hours raged with great
fury. It then subsided as quickly as
it had come .
WITHOUT .WARNING.
Although. the barometer was low in
tho morning, there was nothing to pre
sage a hurricane. The usual harbor
work was in progress when the storm
broke out. Vessels were pitched ashore
along the waterfront and all manner
of craft, large or small, were swept
in the path of the storm. Among the
few,ships In tho harbor to escape dam
age' was the Empress of Japan. The
work pf relief has already begun, and
all of the foreign legations are lending
aid to the stricken city. The suffering
among the natives is intense, as in
many instances they lost all of their
belongings.
They are without food and clothing
and are being supplied with the neces
sities of llfo by the relief committees
which have already been formed.
Gangs of workmen are at work clear
ing away the debris but it will bo
many days before normal conditions
again prevalil In the city.

Chief of Police Collins Efforts are
Being Made In Chicago Fear
Startling Disclosures,
Chicago, Sept. 18. A plot to over
throw Chief of Police Collins In po
lice and political corcles is said to
fie brewing among city politicians
who fear the startling disclosures he
may make in. the present police de
partment fight. The chief Is seeking
the removal of Inspector Lavin, al
ready under suspension by his sup
erior. Ho is fighting desperately to
retain his office and the politicians
are said to fear that the chief will
stop at nothing to beat him. Men
who have protected tho underworld
and to secure gambling privileges from
the admlnlstratioinn are understood
to be behind the movement against
the department head. It is asserted
that Collins has evidence which would
send many men of wealth but bad
character to the penitentiary. It Is
rumored that the charge against him
will be conspiracy to ruin Lavln,
and that the accusations will be made
the middle of the week,
OIL AT KRUMROY
CAUSES EXCITEMENT
Barberton, O., Sept. 18. TWord has
reached Barberton, through several
local men Interested in the oil well
drilling at Krumroy, that excitement
among the residents of that placo Is
at fever pitch. Oil has been found
in more than ona place, and Krumroy
Is entertaining many visitors whose
main object in going to tho town is
to secure options on all of the prop
erty possible.
Expert oil men who have covered
the ground thoroughly since the dis
covery was first announced believe
that tho Krumroy drillers have tap
ped the same underlying basin of oil
as has the Inter-State company, which
has drilled its wells in East Akron.

OVERTHROW
T
Washington, Sept., 18. Tho Cuban
situation took a more serious turn to
night when it was announced that out
rages on American property wore still
being committed by the insurgents ht
Celnfuegos.
President Roosevelt was notified
that matters are critical. Secretary
Bonaparte determined that a number
of additional warships should be plac
ed in Immediate readiness for Bervico
in Cuban waters. He declined to state
what ships have beer, selected or
where they are now stationed.
It is known that the battleship
Rhode Island, at Boston, Is one of
them. The entire Atlantic fleet is
available but Secretary Bonaparte
does not desire to take these vesso's
away from target practice. In addi
tion, all the vessels are too large to
enter any Cuban port except 'Havana.
The most Blgtilflcant,feature of the day
Is the? information that the .insurgents
at Cienfuegos, ,in, addition to'destroy
inc American rironertv. are bkeklner to
Jevy .blackmail onv American planters.
They have demanded 1500 rounds of
ammunition, certain sums of money
and that all unmarried men be dis
charged so they may servp jn, ths
rebel army.
COMPLAINT -MADE. .
President Roosevelt forwarded a
complaint from tho Colonial Cuban
company of New York to the state
department by long distance telephone.
It is the impression amo'ng officials
here that Colonel Co'lado, in command
of the insurgent troops, has not heard
of the aimistice.
This cablegram from Commander
Colwell of the cruiser Denver, was
sent to the president at-Oyster Bay:
"All continues quiet here. There
has been a cessation of hostilities for
the present. Negotiations progressing
favorab.y between the government and
revolutionary leaders and they, are ap-
ii.. . ,
IMuauuniK tin ugreuineiii. $
It is surmised that Commander Col
well had not heard of the"further dis
turbances at Cienfuegos.
Secretary Bonaparte, Acting Secre
tary of State Adee and Admiral Con
verse held a conference on the situa
tion at Cienfuegos, and decided that
the force, already there Is sufficient to
protect American property. The Mar
ietta and Dixie, together, have a
landing strength or 570 blue jack
ets and marines.
Jacob Sleeper, the American Charge
d'affaires at Havana, notified the de
partment of state that a condition of
peace now reigns in Cuba and there
has been a cessation of hostilities. Mr.
Sleeper had no knowledge of the ac
tivity of the insurgents at Cienfuego---.
It has been learned by the state do
partment that many of the estates re
ported destroyed by flames have not
been visited by the insurgents. There
are now eleven warships either in Cu
ban waters or enroute there. There
are 2000 marines afloat ready for in
stant service in Cuba, and the war
ships can send 4000 bluejackets
ashore. This force of C000 men will
be able to take care of any emergency
until the arrival of the army, plans for
the transportation of which are al
ready made. Secretary Bonaparte was
notified that Secretary Taft and Act
ing Secretary Bacon were today placed
on board tho Des Moines, and that
they would reach Havaivn- early Wed
nesday morning. The party was two
hours late, their train having been de
layed. A shipload of beef was sent
by the navy today for use of the men
In Cuban waters and a cargo of coa
was started for Havana.
GOULD'S YACHT
SOLD TO CUBANS
New York, Sept. 18. It was an
nounced and coflrmed by the Cuban
consul that Edwin Gould's steam
yacht,, the Aileen, had been sold to
tho Cuban government. She is lying
at South Brooklyn, where she is tak
ing on stores. It is expected that she
will clear for Cuba some time tomor
row. Agents from the Cuban govern
ment have been offered the Tarantula
owned by William K. Vanderbilt. No
reply has been received to the proffer
and the commissioners said it was
their belief that the republic would
make no moro purchases at the pres
ent tme. It is believed President
Palma Is awaiting the results of the
investigation of President Roosevelt.

TRADE WAR.
Threatened, Declare Ger
m a n Manufacturers
Who Visit President
Roosevelt.
Oyster Bay, N. Y Sept. 18. In an
effort to prevent what they declared
was the imminent danger of a trad
war between Germany and the United
States, a delegation of German manu
factures paid a visit to the President
at Sagamore Hill. The spokesmen for
the de'egation wero, Bernard Cohnen,
a member of the German Reichstag,
who comes frOm Grovenbroich, near
Cologne, and Leo Vossen, a manufac
turing chemist of Alx-La-Chapelle.
Both expressed themselves as
gravely concerned over the prospect
of securing the continuance of the
reciprocity treaty which now exists
between Germany and this country,
but which will expire July 1, next.
Mr. Vossen declared that the Agrarian
party in the German Reichstag would
like nothing better than to see the
manufacturers of tho two nations at
each other's throats. The Agrarians,
he said, as an argument against reci
procity, were making the most of
petty annoyances to which the Ger
man exporters were subjected at the
various customs houses In the United
States. "It was these unnecessary
abuses and vexatious restrictions
which we desired to bring to the
President's attention," Mr. Vossen de
clared. "He assured us that he would
do all In his power to help maintain
the present friendly relations between
America and the fatherland. He tolrt
us to lay our complaints before the
secretary of the treasury, and the
President has requested that he be
furnished with a report of the secre
tary's findings. He is a splendid man,
your President. He took us all over
his place, and showed us a1! the bears
which he had shot. He is a great
man."
