age, has invented a device to prevent
rear end collisions of railway trains.
The signal consists of an iron box,
about four inches square, in which is
inclosed a torpedo. This box is fast
ened to the outside base of the rail, at
least seven hundred feet from a switch,
either way. From this box and con
nected with mechanical contrivances
inside a steel wire runs alongside the
rail and is connected with the rod of
the switch. When the switch is set
for the main track the torpedo remains
inside the box. but as long as it is
thrown to ta siding it sets square on the
rail and explodes when struck by the
engine of the rear train, thus giving
time for the train to be stopped and
prevent a collision.

ANOTHER CLOUD.
The Hchrlnj Sea PUpute Lends to Activity
in the XaTj Department Vessels Mar Ba
Cent to the Troubled Waters -English
lress Opinion.
Washington. March 11. Gen. Fos
ter, of the state department who is
assisting tho president in the Behring
sea fisheries negotiations, had a long
conference at the navy department with
Secretary Tracy and Com. Ramsey,
chief of tho bureau of navigation. Tho
conference, it is thought, related to the
consideration of the course to be pur
sued by the navy in enforcing the con
tention of this government that the
Pelagic sealing in Behring sea should
bo wholly suspended pending the set
tlement by arbitration of the con
troversy between the United Staies
and Great Britain.
If Great Britain declines tho presi
dent's proposition for a renewal of the
modus vivendi this government no
doubt will send the available vessels at
its command to Behring see soon
enough',- if possible, to control its ap
proaches 'and prevent the entrance of
all sealing vessels, American as well as
others.
The naval vessels that can be used
for this service are the Charleston,
Baltimore and Ranger at San Fran
cisco; the Mohican, now on her way to
Port Orchard, Wash., with the Nipsic
in tow, and the 'York town and Balti
more, now en route to San Francisco
from Callao. The revenue cutters
Bear, Rush and Corwin, now fitting
out at San Francisco for their annual
cruise to the seal islands, will also as
sist in the work of policing the re
stricted waters.
Dilligcnt inquiry at the various exec
utive departments dealing with the
question elicits the information that
the president will take no further ac
tion in regard to the Behring sea matter
until he shall have received a reply
from Lord Salisbury to Mr. Wharton's
note of the Sth instant insisting on a
renewal of the modus vivendi of last
year as atx essential condition to the
settlement of the controversy by arbi
tration. ACTIVITY AT MARK ISLAND.
Sax Francisco, March 11. The an
ticipated activity in Behring sea this

still at Mare Island in readiness for

London; March 11. The St James
Gazette (Conservative) accuses the
Washington government of exaggera
ting the difficulty of arriving at a mo
dus vivendi with Great Britain. The
paper suggests that each side go seal

trators to be in the wrong afterward

mild at the beginning of the storm and
a number of cases being reported 1
where people started for homes in the
country when the storm was still ,
raging. If they were lost, which is
more than probable, the following in- i

the drift covered country roads, the
full details of the loss of life will be
slow in coming in, but that there have
been serious results of the storm is un
doubtedly true.
Damage to property from the sever

Fargo, Crookston and other places.

from the breaking of plate glass as

the force of the storm. and
