the gruesome tlntl of the torn remains
of a nan that were scattered along the
traelc at the cast switch. The body
was found to be that of Ncls Anderson,
a workman living in one of the outfit
cars on the Union Pacific road. Tlio
fellow was drunk when struck and
there is no blame attached to the rail
road company.
Anderson and two comrades, .Too
Klmbrough and Lee lluilmnn, went
on a spree and went together to this
tent wct of Ames, where there were
some people of bad character staying.
About 3 o'clock in the morning they
came back, carrying a keg of beer that
wasnot quite empty. Anderson went
up the trnek to hide the keg and
his companions went Into the ear to
sleep. Anderson was last seen allvo
walking unsteadily up the track carry
ing the keg. Wnether he fell asleep
on the track or did not have enough
control over his faculties to get out of
the way of u train is not known. It
has not been ascertained which tiain
hit him. A coroner's jury found the
man met his death from being on the
track in an intoxicated condition when
a train came along. No blame is at
tached to the railroad company in the
verdict.
MUST ACCEPT OUR TERMS
Virtually un llltlnmtuiu Ilim linen Da
lltcrod to Clilim.
A Washington, Aug. !i, special says:
Secretary 1 1 Ay's reply to Li Hung
Cluing has closed the negotiations with
China, unless the old viceroy is ablu to
secure the full acceptance of our terms
relative tc the foreign ministers and
that at once. No orders, therefore,
looking to n relaxation of the prepara
tions for the advance on Pekln have
gone, out from Washington for, as thu
situation is described by one of thu
leading ofllcials here, "there will be no
bargaining on our part in advance of
the concession of the Chinese authori
ties of full and free epmmunlention
with the foreign ministers." There
is, mcrcover, a note ominously
close to actual war In Secretary Hay's
declaration that the conduct of the
Chinese government is "unfriendly."
That kind of language is extreme in
diplomacy, and it is only a narrow step
between it nml formal war.
SHAH OF PERSIA ATTACKED
CHANG'S DIPLOMACY
Of n Type Not UrlMicil by tho Unltee"
btntc.
A Washington, Aug. 4 dispatch says:
Another move was made in the diplo
matic situation by the return of an
evasive answer of LI Hung Chang to
Secretary Hay's peremptory demand
of August 1 to be put in eominunleu
lion with the foreign ministers at Po
'in. Li's answer is not linal nnd
leaves tho matter open to diplomacy.
Hut Li's actions, as reported by Consul
icneral Ooodnow, ate unquestionably
sinister nnd will amount to a linal re
jection of the American proposition if
persisted In.
Consul (ioodnow at Shanghai tele
graphs that Li Hung Chang will deliver
no messages to ministers because of
the foreign advance, on IVkln, and also
Mates that two pro-foreign members of
the tsung-11-yuinen were beheaded
July 27 for urging preservation of
ministers.
.Meantime the government of the
Cnited States, like the government ot
Europe, has not abandoned its elVorts
lo establish communication with Its
minister at Pekln by independent
means, and the state department lias
Instruited Consul (icneral (Ioodnow at
Shanghai, Consul Fowler at Chce Foe
and Consul llagsdulo at Tlcn Tslu tc
spare no effort or expense to open up
direct communication with Mr. Conger.
Had news came this morning from
Admiral iieiney in a report Indicating
that serious icslstance has developed
to the progress of the 1'eUin lellef col
umn. His advice confirms the opinion
uf the experts here as to the lights
alaeady reported near Tien Tsln be
tween small parties being nothing
more than tin result of reconnols
sauces. Still, a scouting party 800
strong is no inconsiderable force, and
the fact that the Japanese sulTeied se
verely is regarded here as proof posi
tive that the relief column will have
some lively lighting ahead.

New KhiB of Italy Will Pattern After
III. Futher.
King Victor Emmunuel III. has ad
dressed the following proclamation to
the Italian people:
"The second lilim of Italy is dead.
Escaping, thanks to his valor as a sol
dier, the danger of battle, and depart
ing unharmed, thanks to providence,
from the risks he confronted so cour
ageously to end public calamities, tills
good and virtuous king fell a victim to
atiocious crime while with easy con
science and without fear of danger, he
was participating In the' joys of his
people In their fetes.
"It vns not permitted me to be pres
ent at the last breath of my futher,
but 1 understand my first duty to be
to follow the 'counsels he left me and
to imltatethe virtues of the king and
first citizen of Italy.
"In this moment of profound sadness
I have to aid mo the strength which
comes from the examples of my august
father and of that great king who de
serves to be called the 'father of ills
country.' I liavo also as a support the
strength which comes from Jthe love
and devotion of tho Italian people for
the king whom they venerated and
weep for."
DID NOT EAT TOADSTOOLS
The Norrl Family I'ulittiiird by Orutilut
,Miiliriiiiin,
It was developed at the Inquest upon
the membeis of the Norrls family,
three of whom died nt Harvey, 111.,
supposedly from eating toadstools,
that they weie in fact poisoned by
mushrooms, and not by toadstools. It
was shown that the family ate mush
rooms of the finest quality, and not
toadstools at all.
Itobeit Martin, n mushroom expert,
testllled that in his opinion the pois
oning was caused by a small black bug
which lie said he had found recently
making Its home in the top of mush
rooms. "1 don't know, of course." ho said,
"that the Norrls family was poisoned
in tills way, but they certainly ate
mushrooms and not toadstools, A
while ago I found some of these bugs
in mushrooms and noticed that thej
exuded a viscous lluld which surround
ed them as they lay In the mushrooms
I placed the lings anil the portion ol
thu mushroom containing them In n
saucer of milk, fed the milk to neat
arid in two hours the eat was dead."
Mr. Martin showed several of the
bugs which he had taken fiom mush
rooms. Several professional men, well
versed In entomology, said they In-J.
heard of such a bug in South America
which makes its home inceitain plants
and causes the death of any animal
which cats the foliage. None of them
hail heard of the insect in this country.
The physician in chiuge-of tins case
testified that the family was poisoned
"by eating mushrooms," and the ver
dict of tlie coroner's jury was that
"poison taken in with mtishioom
caused death."

WILL GO AHEAD WITH CANAL
Coiifcs!nn Held by New Yorkers to be
Utlllred.
John D. Slmnilns of the syndicate
formed to construct an Inter-oceanlo
canal through Nicaragua under the
concession given by the government of
Nlcaigua to Edward Lyre and hdwuru
F. Ci agin, the existence of which was
recently proclaimed by Preslden .aya
la, said that the company to construct
the canal organized under laws of New
Jersey, would proceed to carry out tin
terms of its contract without delay.
The capital needed has been secured
and If the estimate for cost made foil
tills government Is correct the canal,
can be built for the same money, and
nrobablv for less. This estimate is
about 8130,000,000. Mr. Crlmmlns said
that the company would prefer to bate
tlie government leave the. matter In
the company's hands, so as to permit
a private construction and operation
of the canal for tho benefit of the
whole world. The probability is that
route will be that hitherto called the
Nicaragua. Mr. Crlmnilns said:
"Our concession Is perpetual. It
gives us tlie right to police the eiuntry
for ten miles on either side of the
canal, whereas the Maritime company's
concession policing was to be done by
the Nicargua govt r-nnent."
