S EVENTYfIVE PERSONS DROWN
IMPRISONED IN ELECTRIC CARS
Atlantic City N J October 29
By the wrecking of a threecoach elec
traln on the West Jersey and Sea-
shore Railroad yesterday afternoon at
least fifty passengers perished and
the list may reach the total of seventy
five when all is known
While crossing over a drawbridge
spanning the waterway known as the
Thoroughfare which separates At-
lantic City from the mainland the
train left the track and plunged Into
the water Tlip passengers In the first
two coaches with one or two excep-
tions were drowned Up to two oclock
this morning fortyfour bodies have
been recovered and It Is believed that
at least twenlyfire and possibly 30
more bodies still are in the submerged
coaches
The disaster Is the worst that has
happened since the terrible Meadows
wreck of July 30 1SPG The train
made up of three heavy vestibule
coaches which left Camden at 1
oclock In the afternoon carried at
least eightyeight passenger as that
number of tickets are held by the con
dtictor That official Is uncertain
however Just how many passengers
were on the train and until all the
bodies have been taken out of the sub-
merged coaches It will not be possible
to give the true figures of the dead
The cause of the wreck has not
been ascertained It was probably due
either to a defective rail or the break-
ing of some part of the superstructure
of the first coach It has also been
suggested that the drawbridge which
had Just been closed after the passage
of a yacht may not have properly lock-
ed the rails AH theories however
are entirely speculative
While running at a speed said to
have been moderate the first coach
left the rails and dragged those fol-
lowing It over the ties for a distance
of ninety feet Suddenly swerving the
first two coaches plunged over the
side of the bridge Into the water fif-
teen feet below The third coach
struck an abutment broke Its coup-
lings and for a brief time hung sus-
pended over the water Brief as was
this period however It gave more
than a score of passengers an opportu-
nity to escape by the rrar door Then
the car slid off and followed the other
two Into the water It Is believed ev-
ery one In the third coach escaped
alive though all were Injured

the greatest entertainment ever held

been much larger than any previous

more money the receipts from the

every one Is wearing a wider smile
The people of Dallas are glad that
the Fair Is over It has been a hercu-
lean task to accomodate the three
quarters of a million visitors that have
come to Dallas In the last fifteen days
To the shopkeepers to the transporta-
tion lines to every workman in Dallas
the Fair has meant harder work and
longer hours Yet it is not denied that

den admirably and will be really for
another Fair when the time for It

JAPANESE IN FRISCO
The Matter Has Assumed Rather
Grave Aspect
Washington OcL 27 President
Roosevelt last night directed Victor H
Metcalfe Secretary of the Department
of Commerce and Labor to go to San
Francisco and make a thorough and
complete Inquiry into the situation af-
fecting thte exclusion of Japanese
children from the schools provided
for white children and the determina-
tion to place Japanese pupils in sepa-
rate schools The President is anx-
ious to obtain at first hand from a
Cabinet officer who is acquainted
with local conditions in every phase
of the subJecL He feels that every ef-
fort within the power of the Admin-
istration should be exerted to see that
all the treaty rights claimed by the
Japanese for their people in thet Uni-
ted States should be respected
The determination to send Secre-
tary Metcalfe was one of the results
made by Viscount AokL the Japanese
Ambassador who at a conferenco
with Secretary Root Wednesday ask-
ed in behalf of his Government that
the Japanese subjects In California
be accorded their full rights under
the treaty of 1S94 Including that of
the children to attend the public
schools
The dispatch of a Cabinet officer
en such a mission it Is argued would
demonstrate to the Japanese the evi-
dent sincerity of this Government In
dealing with the whole subject and its
desire to show that every effort Is be-
ing made to get at the facts

Shows a Healthy and Prosperous Con-
dition of Affairs
Washington OcL 31 Charles W
Treat Treasurer of the United States
submitted his annaual report to the
submitted his annual report yesterday
to the Secretary of the Treasury and
In reference to the more notable trans-
actions said in part
The net result of the ordinary rev-
enues and expenditures for the fiscal
year 190C was a surplus of 25GG B32
as compared with a deficit of 23000
22S for the preceding year A contin-
uation of these favorable conditions is
reflected in the transactions for the
first quarter of the fiscal year In
which the revenues were 5587314 In
excess of the expenditures
The available cash balance on June
30 1900 was 1S0G89354 an Increase
of 35G11SG2 as compared with that
of twelve months earlier
The monetary stock of the country
took on a growth during the year of
JSCSCC727 of which 118050777 was
in gold 5405390 In silver and 05
392554 In National bank notes while
the treasury notes decreased 2027
000 The aggregate stock of money at
the close of the year was 3009970
591 of which 2730040028 was in cir-
culation
About April J an unusual strin-
gency In the money market was re-
lieved by the temporary Increase of
public deposits with depositary banks
to enable them to import gold Thru
this aid morethan 4900000u In gold
was Imported The balance in banks
to the credit of the general fund May
5 was 102708123 the highest point
reached during the fiscal year
The treasury holdings of gold con-
tinues to attract the attention of fi-
nanciers both at home and abroad It
is apparent from the continued accu-
mulation that a large share of the pro-
duct of the gold mines of the world
is brought to the United States The
gold coin and bullion In the treasury
June 30 1905 amounted to 700592
399 and at the close of the fiscal year
1900 It has advanced to 80i051C90

WRECKED ON VANCOUVER COAST
AN UNEXPECTED CONSTRUCTION
The Judge Imposes a Fine of 5000
On I
Findlay Ohio Oct 30 A peculiar
struction placed on the Valentine anti-
trust law has enabled the Standard
Oil Company recently convicted here-
of conspiracy In restraint of trade to
escape with a fine of 3000 and costs
which the Court holds Is the maxi-
mum fine that can be imposed Tha
section of the law under which the
fine Is Imposed is perfectly clear and
provides a separate fine for each day
the lav Is violated
The Standard is charged with hav-
ing violated tho law since July C 1903
which was generally supposed would
make it liable to a fine aggregating
0000000 Judge Banker holds that
each allegation must be the basis of
a separate suit and that suits can not
be entered collectively
The decision of the Co urt has arous-
ed lawyers all over the State It has
been the opinion that suits under the
Valentine antitrust law could be be-
gun and then If the offending cor-
poration did not at onco cease busi-
ness it could Is found guilty be fined
for each days violation of the law
after the suit was begun
Had the Court in the present case
interpreted the law In this way the
Standard would have had to pay about
0000000 in fines

FEAR OCEAN TRAGEDY
MORE THAN 400 LIFE PRESERV-
ERS DRIFT ASHORE
m BEACH NEAR HATTERAS
Shipping Men Are of the Opinion That
a Passenger Steamer Has
Been Lost
Norfolk Va A maritime puzzle
that may be the result of an ocean
tragedy came ashore near Cape Hat
teras Thursday in the shape of more
tban 400 life preservers
Between Hatteras and Big Klnna
keet the beach Is strewn with the
cork jackets Some are marked Cas
wltz Rettunysyurcer G R P No
108341
Others are stamped Sealanan Two
bear the name Smeskfz Three
miles north of Big Kinnakeet a part
of a white yawl boat and a fragment
of a boats gunwhalo washed ashora
There are no marks on this wreckage
Because all the life preservers and
the pieces of wreckage came on the
beach in such a limited area ship-
ping men here arc of tha opinion that
whatever the cause may be it oc
curred not far from the coast and
that if there is a wreck It Is probably
that of a passenger ship
A search among the marine records
has failed to reveal any names that
correspond with those on the life pre
servers and life preservers are gen
erally marked with the name of the
boat to which they belong
It Is probable a revenue cutter will
be sent to search off Hatteras for fur
ther clues
