siastic as might have been expected.

deaths by striking the ground after
being thrown up from the wreck.
The railroad people contend that no

slguals were properly set and there
was no reason why their train should
not proceed as usual. They, say that
the train was not running faster than
Is customary.

MICHAELjERBERT.
The British Ambassador to the
. United States Passed Away
in Switzerland.
UWVERSAL SORROW EXPRESSED,
After loner and Plucky Fight Against
Consumption Death Camo With
Tragic Suddenness.
Sir Michael Had Expected to Leave
Switzerland a Week Ago In Order
to Greet the Alaskan Com
missioners In London.
London, Oct. 1. Sir Michael Her
bert, British ambassador to the Unit
ed States, died Wednesday at Davos
Platz, Switzerland, after a long and
plucky fight against consumption,
which terminated with tragic sudden
ness. The first announcement of tho
ambassador's untimely end was made
at Wednesday afternoon's session of
tho Alaskan boundary commission.
Hannls Taylor, on behalf of the Unit
ed States, had finished his lengthy ar
gument at 3 p. m., -and Sir Edward
Carson, the solicitor general, was re
plying, with international arguments,
dealing with maps and the ancient
Vancouver controversy, which was
half-heartedly paid "attention to by
those present, and several of them
made preparations to leave tho hall,
while tho solicitor delved still deeper
in the dry as dust details, when Chief
Justice Alverstone held up his hand
and Sir Edward sat down.
' A second later the commission,
counsel, secretaries and spectators sat
spell-bound, as Lord Alverstone, with
trembling voice and tears coursing
down his cheeks, announced that Sir
Michael Herbert was dead. Maps and
boundaries were utterly forgotten.
With dramatic pathos the internation
al contestants became fellow sympa
thizers, listening in stunned amaze
ment to Lord Alverstone's tribute to
the man, whose death none even ex
pected. Rather than trust to extem
pore expression Lord Alverstone had
jotted down a few sentiments, which
he read.
In tho meanwhile Ambassador
Choate had entered. He had just come
from Lord Lansdowne's room, where
he learned the news. The Intense si
lence which followed the delivery of
Lord Alverstone's tribute was broken
by Jacol) M. Dickinson, of American
counsel, who voiced the American's
sorrow and proposed an adjournment
of the commission.
Solicitor General Carson followed
and tho commission quietly broke up
until Thursday.
Friends of Sir Michael Herbert came
hurrying along the foreign office corri
dors to ascertain If the news was true.
On all sides, American, Canadian
and English genuine sorrow was ex
hibited, which was evidently actuated
by a sense of deep personal loss.
Sir Michael had been at Davos-Platz
about five weeks'. When he returned
to London from America he confessed
that he felt far from well, but his phy
sicians still held horres of his conquer
ing the consumption. The ambassador
expected to leave Davos-PJatz a week
ago in order to greet the Alaskan com
missioners here: but he contracted
bronchitis. Of this he wrote only a
few days ago quite slightingly, saying
It was only annoying because on ac
count of it the doctor insisted on his
not going to London to see his Ameri
can friends.
Lady Herbert intended to leave
Switzerland a short time ago with, her
children, but she apparently cnangod
her plans and remained at Davos
Platz. Washington, Oct. 1.. The following
statement by authority of the presi
dent was issued at the white houso
Wednesday:
"The president is deeply shocked and
grieved at tho death of Sir Michael
Herbert, both because of bis personal
affection for Sir Michael and because
of his high appreciation of him as an
official."
Torrential Rain In Arizona.
Kingman, Ariz,, Oct. 1. A torren
tial rain fell over this part of Arizona

Berlin, Oct. 1. Prof. Rudolph Falb,

much of as a prophet.

Posoy, a young farmer, committed sul
clde Wednesday by sending a pistol
shot through his heart. Ho was sub
ject to fits.
