Section Hand Tolls Story.
H Kd Clark, a section hand. -who par-
tic-Si ed in tho early relief work at
Wellington, gives a graphic account of
his experience. Ho says:
"On that night, about forty of us. all
H Americans, were asleep with our clothes
HI " i the bunkhouso just abovo Wei
H lington. Suddenly I heard a noi30 I
can;t describe and then Charlio Ander
H KOn- the section boss, rushed in.

Anderson said ihat the passenger trains
H and motors had been swept out. 'Get
out of this quick, men, or you'll be
H cleaned out.5 With that ho ran out to
H in others.
H "It was thuudcrinir and lightning
H when we ran out. The flashes were
H blinding and the thunder kept up an
awful racket. It was dark as -pitch
when tho lightning didn't blind us. We
beard a faint moaning down the gulch
and made a break for il. There were
only fwo or three little, railroad lan
terns for light. All around us wc could
near trees snapping and other slides
tumbling down. We didn't know how
big thoy were, but wo stumbled nnd
rolled down into tho gullcy whero we
cuuld hear tho cries.
1 "Somo had grabbed up what axes
there were when they first ran out, and
then the lautcrns showed ji row of
hands beckoning in every little hole
and opening in the coaches. We
started chopping between tho out

H them out.
H "We had worked hard all day and
H were pretty well plaj'cd out. but wc all
H set to work, each man for himself and
H none leading. Wc could hear paasen-
H gers cryinj: for water. Somo were cry-

Every Effort Has Been Made io
Prevent the Fact From Be

HE IS NOT IN ANY
SENSE DANGEROUSLY ILL
Did Not Escape Pest Which
Make African Brush Danger
ous to Unaccliinated.
Special Cablo to Tho Tribune.
LONDON". March R Reports arc
current here tonight Ihat former Presi
dent Theodoro Roosevelt Is suffering
from a slight touch of fever. It is said
that while he is not In any ?cnae dan
gerously .ill, he h.U5 not altogether . es
caped the fevers which make the Afri
can brush su dangerous (o unaccliinated
white men. With his usual energy, Mr.
Roosevelt has fought oft" .the -fever, and
every effort has been made to prevent
the fact becoming known In ISuropo and
America.
To Give Him Big Reception.
Europe is preparing to sivo Mr. Roose
velt a reception that only his own re
luctance can prevent assuming remarka
ble proportions. In all tho eapUaht he
Is to visit his presence will bo regarded
as an event of high international im
portance. Ho Is not classed as a states
man who demands attention for merely
what he bus done. It ir. what lie may
do In official life during tho next ten
or twenty years that lends to his per
sonality which Is of chief Importance in
tho eves of old world politicians and
publicists. To bo convinced of this ono
lias to do more than read the comments
of the leading continental and British
Journals.
What British Journals Say.
Since his intervention into the Russo
Japanese war that terminated with the
treaty of Portsmouth, he has bulked
larger in the circulations of London.
Paris and Berlin than has any other
American In forty years. He Is thought
of as the prime factor in the Washing
ton project for th premier navy, of
which much has been said this week in
official circles. That he is destined to
play the loading role in nettling the fu
ture relations between Japan and the
United States is a view almost univer
sally adopted. His picturesque literature
achievements oracular gifts and hunting
powers accentuate his quality as a poli
tician In public esteem on this side of
the Atlantic. There is keen curiosity
as to the topics he will discuss in his
addreEses.
Will Visit King Edward.
King Edward probably will be ono of
the first European monarchs to enter
tain Mr. Roosevelt, although England is
tho last of the European countries he
will visit. Ills majesty today started
for his regular spring vacation. lie will
proceed to the Riviera and will reach
tho beautiful villa Brazlllana at Postillp
po. the magnificent panorama of the bay
of Naples, which has been acquired by
Sir Bennett Rodd. tho British embas
sador, for him. about the time Mr.
Roosevelt reaches Italy. It Is under
stood that his majesty has Issued a cor
dial Invitation to Mr. Roosevelt to be his
guest at the villa and that the Ameri
can has accepted tho Invitation.
HER OF RUSSIA
HAS HOBE TROUBLE
Family Scandals Added to Uic
Burden That the Czar
Already Bears.
Special Cable to The Tribune.
ST. PETERSBURG. March 5. Family
trouble is added to the woes of the czar
and It is bla only brother, the grand duke,
Alexander Alexandrovltch, who Is now
causing him sleepless nights. Tho grand
duke Is married to a beautiful and brainy
woman far beneath him In rank. Added
lo this disadvantage she has been twice
divorced, the second divorce resulting
from a curious complication that caused
a grave scandal. The procurer of the
holy synod has come to the czar's aid
by declaring that the lady's divorces were
Irregular and illegal and consequently that
she was not at liberty to marry again,
which fact makes her marriage to the
grand duke null and void.
This position was taken only after every
attempt to persuade the grand duke to
renounce his charmer had failed. Ills
answer was that for her he would give
up all his .official or Imperial rank. That
means renunciation or tne tnronc itseir.
In case the czar and his infant son should
die. for the grand duke Is next In the
lino of succession.
Woman Is of High Type,
The woman In the case Is of superior
Intelligence and splendidly educated. When
very young she married Serglus Marmon
toff of this city.. He Is a famous million
aire and takes a deep Interest In art and
music. Ho It was who discovered the now
world famed singer, Challapln.
After the birth or their first child the
Marmontoffs drew apart. Quarrels be
came frequent. Grand Duke Michael came
here on a visit, met Madame Marmontoff
and fell madly in love with her. She re
ciprocated his affections and told her
husband all and asked to be released from
him. He consented to a divorce. Then
Madame Marmontoff went to St. Peters
burg, whero she and Grand Duke Michael
found many opportunities to meet. Fear
ing tho czar's wrath, Madame Maron
tolt's family urged her to marry again.
Hearing this tho grand duke said to his
inamorata:
"I will get you a husband."
Tho grand duke went lo a yoiniR of
ficer of the regiment of cuirassiers, of
which he is colonel, and suggested that
the officer marry Madame Marontoff,
lending his name, to be her husband In
name only. Tho young officer was com
placent, was married and was raised In
rank In the army.
The woman continued to receive the
grand duke's attentions. Everybody In
the Imperial circle know of It, but such
fictitious marralgcs are not uncommon
where high dlGnltarles aro concerned."

MRS. SWOPE DECLARES
HYDE WAS ADVENTURER
By Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY. March 5. Disregard
ing the advice of her attorneys, Mre.
Logan B. Swopo today laid bare, while
giving her deposition in the slander suit
of her son-in-law, Dr. B. C. Hyde, the
Innermost secrets of her household for
many years. With tears pouring down
her checks, she repeatedly rose from the
witness chair as she told her story. After
shn had once started on her narrative.
It was almost useless to attempt to ques
tion her. She told tho story of the
courtship of Dr. Hyde, how she tried
to like htm as a son-ln-Iaw, of her be
lief that he had attempted to murder her
relatives and at one lime tried to poison
her. Tho charge that Dr. Hyde tried
to poison Mrs. Swopc is a new feature
In tho cane.
"On December 12 last he brought me
a glass of water that tasted bitlor." she
said. "I drank" some of It.- and, noticing
tho peculiar taste, asked him where- he
got II. 'Out of the water cooler.' be
replied. 'He Is trying to poison you.
mother.' said one of my daughters. I
demanded that he give me an emetic.
This probably saved my life
'Dr. Uydo married my daughter for
money, and not for lovr," she continued,
excitedly. "He followed her llko a hawk
would follow a hen. She was his pros
pective prey. At last, despite my ob
jections, they were married. I tried then
to make a man of him. I wanted to give
my daughter an opportunity to reform
him. To the end of Introducing him Into
our circle of friends, I gave him a re
ception and placed him In tho receiving
line."
Frenzied With Emotion.
Hero the woman's emotions overcame
her. Tears Howcd from her eyes. She
chok'ed and for a moment was unable to
speak. Summoning all her strength, she
arose from the chair and almost
shrieked: "And every moment of the
tlnio that he was standing there he wus
planning tho murder of members of my
family."
After this tirade, the aged woman sank
almost exhausted Into her chair. When
she resumed talking It was In defense of
her daughter, Mrs. Hyde. "Frances Is
a dear, pure girl, and I have never said
anything against bor," she said. "I lovo
her ami none can say harm of her."
Repeatedly, Mrs. Swope's attorneys at
tempted to sllenco her. But she wus
pouring out her soul and her advisers'
words went unheeded. '"Harrowing as
this may bo to me, I must tell It all,"
she said. "I must explain how 1 feel
toward Dr. Hyde and why I feel that
way. It is my story and I will tell
It. all."

Consul General Foster is chairman

fore him. Although tho Dominion gov
ernment has made no overt signs of
hostility, nevertheless its attitudo of
indifference- to the tariff board is con

Dominion is expanding so rapidly aud
becoming so wcil populatod that exten

HORROR ON THE SUMMIT
OP THE SELKIRK RANGE
Fourteen .Injured Dug From
Dehris and Are Now in
Hospital.
By Associated Press.
VANCOUVER, 13. (',. March n.-
Ninety-two men who wero oncagefl in
clearing tho Canadian Pacific tracks in
Rogers Pass, at tho sum mil o the Sol
kirk raniro, wore entombed by an ava
lancho soon aftcr'midnifilit this morn
ing and all arc dead. Fourteen others
injured havo been taken to the hospital.
This afternoon tho bodies o only
fivo men Lad been recovered. Tlicj'
wore thoBo of Roadmastor Fraser, Pire
mau Griffith, Conductor .Buckley, .Engi
neer Philips and a Japanese. Tho
work of recovering tho dead and open
ing tho track is greatly impeded by a
"blizzard that ie blowing through tho
pass.
Second Big Slido.
Thoro was also auolher big slide
of snow and rock this morning a mile
cast of tho spot whero tho mou wore
overwhelmed. It destroyed a portion
of a snowshed and buried the track for
-100 yards to a dopth of sixty i'cot.
There were no victims in. tho Inst ava
lanche. Tho men wero a working crew engaged
In clearing away a small slide which had
come down early in tho ovening. They
woro working a rotary engine over It
when a larger slide came down and car
ried them to their death in the can5on
below.
At first II was believed that all of tho
hundred men engaged wero killed, but
during tho early morning It was found
that many had escaped, ami tho death
list Is now placed In tho vicinity of fifty.
Passonger Trains Safe.
All passenger trains on the line are
safe, though It will probably be a day or
two before they are able to pass the place
where the slide occurred.
Last night was ono of the worst that
has ever been experienced in the railroad
situation of the Canadian Pacific. There
was a heavy storm of rain and sleet and
sometimes snow, and weather conditions
were altogether at their worst.
A storm also occurred In tho Arrow
lakes. Communication with tbo east Is
down. A long section of telegraph line
was carried away by tho slide.
The accident occurred near a snow
shod one mile west of Rogers' pass and
at tho actual summit of the Sclklrka.
Seventy-flvo per cent of the dead were
whlto men. tho remainder Japanese. Con
ductor Buckley and Engineer Phillips of
tho work train beaded by a rotary snow
ploy wc re killed.
As soon as the ucwg reached Revclstoke
a relief train conveying physicians and
nurses and over 200 railway men and
other citizens was speeding cast to Rog
ers' pass. The scene of tbo accident was
reached at G o'clock this morning, when
the task of digging In the tangled mas3
of debris In the hope of finding a few
survivors, was commenced with vigor.'
Surgeons Sent to Sccuo.
Calgary made an equally prompt re
sponse. It also sent a special train with
150 workmen as well as nurses and doc
tors. The special arrived at Rogers
pass at 10 o clock this morning. Act
ing Superintendent Kilpatrlck of tho Pa
cific division of tho Canadian Pacific rail
way left Vancouver today for the scene
of the accident. '
The first slido occurred at 5:40 yes
terday afternoon. In the narrow valloy of
Bear creek, flanked on either side by
precipitous mountains covered with a
depth of snow vnrylng from twenty to
fifty feet. The slide did not como from
a very high elevation and was composed
mostly of snow. It had a length of r00
feet and a depth of eighty feet. While
men wero working to clear the tracks at
12:30 this morning, half of tho first slide
having been removed, the second ava
lancho descended. It starred on the side
of the canyon opposite the point where
the first slido occurred. Thousands of
feet above, a few rolling masses of snuw,
