T"IE Grand Duke Vladlmlr-Alexandrovltch, who in all probability will be
Ilcgent in the event of the death of Nicholas II before the birth of an
expected heir, is one of the most popular members of the Russian reign-*
Ing family, and is the eldest: surviving brother of the late Czar Alexander.
Vladimir was born at St. Petersburg In April. 1S47. In 1S74 he was mar
ried to Marie Paulovna of Mecklenburg-Schwerln. an aunt of the young Duke who
is affianced to Queen Wilhelmina of Holland.
In the event of the Czar's death and the birth of a posthumous son the re
gency of the Grand Duke Vladimir will be a long one. In the other event, that
the fourth child is a Princess, the regent would forthwith give way to his nephew,
the hereditary Grand Duke Michael, the Ru3sian law of succession precluding
females from the throne, except in the case of the absence of any male of the
11ns.

Ing such reference. It will be more diffl
cult for the Ministers at Peking to reach
an agreement on this subject, particular
ly In view of the existenct of a very
strong suspicion of the motives of some
of these Ministers.
KICHTZB SCORES THE KAISER.
The United States desires the punish
ment of the principal offenders in such
*'»'¦' as will serve as a warning to Chin
ffc in the future. It seeks reasonable in
demnity—one that China can pay— and It
wants the withdrawal of the international
troops. On none of ;h*>se points Is this
Government in accord with Great Britain
and Germany.
So far as our Government is advised,
the Ministers at Peking have not agreed
upon all points under discussion. Thev
are believed to be engaged now with the
difficult subjects of indemnities and
guarantees.
It is apparent to officials that the G*r
man Government will not be satisfied with
moderate punishment, such as would
meet the natural requirements of civili
zation, but Is determined to shed more
blood even though such action would
probably solidify the Chinese in their op
position to foreigners.
Gr*at Eritaln in connection with the pun
ishment of Boxer leaders. These reports
raid that the decree issued by the Chinese
Emperor, dated November 13. imposing
punishment on anti-foreign Prince* and
cJSclals had created a very bad Impression
in Berlin, and as Germany does not now
move without the sanction cf Great Bri
tain and vice versa, it Is presumed here
that the London Oovemment regrards the
decree in the same manner. The German
?government Is not satisfied with the pun
ishment administered; it believes it should
be more severe.

Freight train No. 70. engine No. 270. In
charge of Conductor F. H. Perkins and
Engineer P. Ryan, had Just passed
Graves, the summit of Marshall Pas?,
when the ergineer lost control of the
train. The airbrakes failed to work and
the light snow falling made the tracks
slippery and sand was useless. The Rio

sweeps with fifty curves up the moun
tains, to the summit of Marshall Pass.

second and whipping around curves at a
dizzy pace. Engineer Ryan stuck to the
throttle, trying In vain to save the train
from its certain destruction. It was ab
surd to pump, for the roadbed is blasted
out of solid rock and the decline Is so
steep that the mountain looks as If It was
terraced with tracks. A leap meant
death. In less than five minutes the crash
came. The train struck a reversed curve.
The locomotive leaped off the rails and
was thrown lengthwise across the track.
i Twelve cars loaded with coal and coke
dashing behind at seventy miles an hour
crashed Into the engine, burying It In a
second In a pile of wreckage thirty feet
high.
Charles Shaw, a brakeman. of Sallda.
was Instantly killed. When the engine
left the track Engineer Ryan was thrown
far to one side, but Fireman Brasswell
could not escape and went down with the
engine and beneath the dozen cars loadei
with coal and coke. Ryan was badly
bruised about the body, but will recover.
Dow and Reed were also caught in the
wreck and probably fatally hurt.
The three men were taken to Sallda. tha
injured men being placed in the com
pany's hospital. The wrecking- crew was
at work all day endeavoring to extricate
Brasswell from beneath the wreck, so
thoroughly had the cars wedged upon the
engine. Not until late to-night was the
wreck cleared and the body of Brasswell
reached.
