Th npilfln romnlilnti of Mr. Hearst are

ident Loubet presided today at a veritable
durbar of the nomadic tribesmen. The I
tribesmen gathered in thousands from all
parts of southern Algeria for a ceremony
of oriental splendor.
Up to the present time M. Loubet has
visited only those sections ot Algeria
which show the advance of French colo
nization. Today, however, he entered the
desert country, with Its sparse and burned
vegetation.
Over 8,000 tribesmen assembled, some ot
them having journeyed 800 or 400 mile
across the desert, assembling on a vast
plateau, where their tenta were arranged
In circles after the Arab custom, each tribe
occupying a large circle in the center af
which were droves of richly . harnessed
camels..
A superb tent of camel -hair fabrics and
Arab tapeetrlee had been erected for the
president, before which each tribe passed

or exhibition of sports. There were foats
of horsemanship and much burning of gun
powder, the exhibition closing by a charge
of all the native cavalry, which wheeled
across the plain and charged toward the
station occupied by the president, pulling
up their horses within 300 yards ot his po
sition. A mimic combat followed, repre
senting the capture of a caravan by a des
ert tribe.
The ceremonies were brought to a conclu
sion by a grand "dlffa," or Arab banquet,
given by the chiefs In honor of M. Loubet.
The menu, which was printed In Arabic and
French, Included such desert delicacies as
rost gazelle "eonscous" and camel's milk.
Dances executed by celebrated native beau
ties followed the banquet end after an ex
hibition of native methods of hunting,
which Included a bare chase by trained fal
cons, the day's entertainment ended. The
prealdent then started on his return Journey
to Salda.
The tribesmen, mounting their horses,
rode at full gallop alongside the train as
long as they could keep up the pace, their
many-colored bernous fluttering In the
wind, making a brilliant picture.

KANSAS CITY. April 21. Passenger
train No. 103 on the 'Frisco system, which
left Kansas City at 11:30 laat night for
Memphis and Birmingham, was partially
wrecked near Everton, Mo., north of
Springfield by a defective rail at 7 o'clock
this morning.
The engine, baggage, express and mail
cars went Into the ditch and were badly
damaged. Four person were killed, one
passenger seriously hurt, and perhaps a
dozen slightly Injured.
Dead:
E. R. MEAD, engineer, Fort Scott. Kan.
BERT COFFMAN, fireman, Fort Scott.
C. B. CAMPBELL, postal clerk, Kansas
City.
CLYDE WILKIN8. postal clerk. Fort

Seriously Injured:
Louie Columbia, Kansas City, passenger.
The engineer and fireman were burled
under the engine. i Firemen Coffman and
Postal Clerk Campbell were dead when
taken out. Engineer Mead was In a dying
condition and succumbed soon after being
removed from the wreck.
The passenger coaches remained upright,
and the passengers, except Columbia, es
caped with a sever shock and alight
bruises. The passengers went quickly to
the aid of the Injured men and rendered
much assfstance In extricating the un
fortunates from the wreckage. -
Physicians were sent te the scene from
Springfield and Fort Scott and the Injured
were conveyed to Springfield.
The accident Is believed to be the work
of train wreckers. Several attempts have
been made within the past four months to
wreck 'Frisco trains in this vicinity and
today's wreck is the second successful
effort.
Three months ago the same train, north
bound, wa wrecked near .Greenfield, a few
miles from Everton, when,-the engineer was
killed and the fireman Injured. The rail
way company has made every effort to
apprehend the wreckers, but apparently
without success.

lyncher were satisfied with the promise
that the law would act quickly in the mat
ter. . '
Clifton Is . an object ot pity in the Jail.
He will neither eat nor sleep and cries
continuously and Implores the Jailers to
protect htm from the wrath of the people.
It Is safe to say, however, that the law
will be permitted to take Its course. Al
ready steps are being taken to prepare tor
the trial. In addition to Clifton's con
fession, the authorities have absolute proof
that he committed the crime. The trial
will be a short one and Clifton undoubtedly
will be convicted and sentenced to be
hanged, end will only be allowed the sixty
day prescribed by law In which to pre
pare for the end.
The parents of Mr. and Mrs. Church are

WASHINGTON. April 21. (Special Tele
gram.) Secretary Shaw left tonight tor
New York where he will spend a day or
two on department affairs and then goes to
Chicago, also upon business connected with
the Treasury department. . From Chicago
he goes to Shenandoah, la., there to meet
President Roosevelt and accompany the
presidential party during Its trip through
Iowa.
During Secretary Shaw' absence it le ex
pected he will take up the question ot a
successor to M. E. Alles, who retired as
assistant secretary of the treasury on the
15th Instant. Opinion continues to prevail
that Wallace Hills, present chief clerk of
the Treasury department, will be selected
as Mr. Alles' successor, department officials
having strongly urged his selection.
Assistant Secretary Armstrong Is not am
bitious to have charge of the personnel ot
the department which usually falls to the
first assistant secretary. Should he be
transferred to the first assistant's desk,
as now seems likely, he will ask that the
question of appointments be assigned to
some one of the other assistants and it
may be possible that, ehould Mr. Hills be
appointed, he will be In charge. of that
branch ot the work for which he Is thor
oughly qualified by reason of long service
In the Treasury department.

The weather bureau's crop bulletin says:
In the states ct the upper Missouri val
ley the week ending April 20 was milder
than usual and generally favorable for
farming operations, but elsewhere
east of the Rockies the tern
perature was much below the average and
excessive rains retarded farm -vork gen
erally throughout the Atlantic coast dls
trtcts, Ohio valley and the southern por
tion of the lake region. The central and
west gulf states and portions of the south
east Rocky mountain dope are much in
need of rain, no appreciable amount having
fallen over a large part ot these district
for more than two weeks.
' On the Pacific coast cool weather has re-
larded growth and frosts have caused con
siderable Injury In Oregon.
, Southern California coast district hav
received heavy rain, insuring abundance
ot Irrigation water.
Very slow progrea haa-beefi Made with
corn pfanttng ''throughout the crn belt
and the middle and .southern Atlantlo
states, owing to cold, wet weather,' While
dry weather has impaired stands In the
central and west gulf states.
The previously reported excellent' condi
tion of winter wheat In the principal win
ter wheat states continues unimpaired, ex
cepting to a slight extent in portions of
the upper Ohio valley, where, In some lo
calities. It Is turning yellow. Less fav
orable reports are also received from the
middle and south Atlantic states and por
tions of Texas.
Seeding of spring wheat 1 general In all
part of the spring wheat region, but prog
ress ha not been rapid in south-eastern
Minnesota, owing to wet soil. The early
sown in Iowa and South Dakota is germ
inating slowly, though even stands are
indicated. On the north Pacific coast
spring wheat seeding is much delayed.
Oat seeding baa been suspended over a
large part of the central valleys and the
acreage in some sections is likely to be
reduced In consequence. In the statea ot
the lower Mississippi valley and in Texas
the outlook for this crop Is promising.
Kalns In portions of the eastern districts
and dry weather in the central and western
portions of the cotton belt have, to some
extent, Interfered with cotton planting;
this work has, however, been vigorously
pushed and has made fair progress.
Although frosts of the 18th caused further
injury to fruit in the upper Ohio val
ley, the reports generally explain that the
peach crop la more encouraging than those
of tho previous week. Apples appear to
have escaped injury In New England and
the middle Atlantlo atates. In California
fruit is mostly in good condition, having
sustained less injury by frost than, was
estimated. Considerable early fruit has
been Injured by frequent frosts in Oregon
but in Washington the cool weather has
kept bud In check and little or no injury
has resulted In that state.
