One of the most disasi rous accidents in the his tory of railroad building in this sec tion happened at Baker Camp, near Durbin, Pocahontas county, on the line of the coal and iron railroad now building out from Eikins. As the re sult of a dynamite explosion six men ire dead and several others are not expected to live. The accident hap pened i hursday noon, while the men Were at dinner. Some dynamite had heen placed about the stove to thaw out, and shortly after a terrific explo sion wrecked the camp, killed three men outri -ht and injured eight others, hree ol whom have since died. The dead men Were blown into atoms, legs, rma and hands, and even parts of rneir bodies, being found in different directions from the little building in which ihey lived among the wild mount ins. Physicians hurried from Greenback and worked all night with the wounded, some of whom begged the doctors to shoot them instead of helping them to live to be blinded or maimed for life Co recount of indi rect connections with the camp it is impossible to secure complete details. JO JOINT DEMAND China's Emperor Eows to the Will of the Powers. HAS INSTRUCTED HIS ENVOYS. While They Are Ordered to Arree t All the ilcninndft, They Are Instruct ed to Meke Better Term If PomI ble LI Huns ClirtiJ's I!lnii. Pekin, Dec. 31. Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang have communicated to the foreign envoys an imperial edict in which the emperor declares that China accepts the Joint note and au thortzr? Price? CYlr wed I -V Chang to negotiate ard to aa. for a suspension of hostilities. Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang say that Emperor Kwang Su has expressed a desire that the court return to Pckin at the end of February. The Chinese themselves were great ly astonished at receiving the Imperial Instructions. Neither Li Hung Chang nor Prince Ching had expected success in persuading the court until :cn days ago. The emperor's instructions ara to agree fully to the note, but to endeavor to get the best terms possible, partic ularly in the matter of limiting the number of the legation guards and also the places where these are to be lo cated. The plenipotentiaries are instructed to endeavor to limit the number of army posts along the line of railway to 8 s few 3 ssible, and finally to que ;t the powers not. to destroy tha forts, but merely to disarm them. Li Hung Chang's health is bad, and it is doubtful whether ha will be able to do more than affix bis signature to an instrument delegating bis powers to Prince Ching until another plenipo tentiary has been appointed. He was dressed yesterday and carried in a cnair to the residence of Prince Ching, with whom he held a long consultation. Prince Ching then called upon the doyen of the diplomatic corps, the Spanish minister, Senor de Colona, and requested him to notify the other en voys that instructions had been re served from the empercr to sign the note. The foreign communities in Pekin are greatly satisfied at the decided tone of the collective note and the as sertion that the powers are determined to entertain no proposals for the mod ification of their demands. It is un derstood Li Hung Chang Kent a memo rial to the throne, couched in very strong terms, urging complete compli ance. The Germans killed 40 Chinese troops nenr Man Chong, northwest of Pao Ting Fu. They had no casua'ties. Among tire natives a feeling uf ,rcat mistrust is being caused apparently by the high handed action of the Ger mans, as the Chinese suspect them of an intention to force a serious engage ment with the Chinese troops. To Abolish Fast Freigrht Lines. St. Paul, Jan. 2 ri he Pioneer Press says that it is reported there Is now being prepared in St. Paul a special tr;-in of seven car3, in which cCleials of nearly all the prominent railroads of the country will visit the principal shipping point?;, to study conditions, with a view to doing away with "fast freight" lines and local freight agen cies. The plan is to have in each city one man to represent all the different roads. All freight business will be done through him, and he will see that each of the roads secures its share of business. At least lOjiOO nigh priced railway officials, it is asserted, will be disnlaced. May Settle Sleel Workers' Stride.

Lord Kitch ener has pouted troops into the dis turbed areas, but the fugitive 'acties cf the Boers have to a large extent neutralized his precautions. "It was felt that the only m ans of excluding the invaders from the rich districts in the western part of the col ony was to call out the farmers. To day's telegrams promise a splendid response 'ion: the eastern portion, but the western is doubtful, not 30 per cent of the tv nul-ition beina regarded as loyal. I i once ths Boer concentration in that direction. "Letters are arriving here detailing damage and robbery by the invaders and beseeching military assistance. Any action en the part of the colony will not abate the urgent need of large reinforcements." "The aspect of affairs is searcely less gloomy," says ihe Cape Town corre spondent of The Times, "than at the beginning of 1900. The invading Boera are numerically fewer, bin thy have penetrated further south, and their presence in such centers of hostile Dutch feeling js Graaf Reinet consti tutes an element of danger which did not exist last January. "The proclamation calling for volun teers comes vary late. The invaders have been enabled to obtain fresh horses. All the horses in the colony ought to have been commandeered or bought at the first sign of invasion." The correspondent complains of the inertia and reticence of the authorities. The government at Capetown an nounces the situation as follows: "Owing to the fact that the armed forces of lhe enemy have penetrated south of Carnarvon in the west and south of Middleburg eastward, it is necessary to repel the invasion prompt ly, and the government calls upon loyal inhabitants to aid the military in this duty by the formation of a colonial force for the sole and exclusive purpose of repelling invasion, guarding lines of communication and maintaining or der in the disturbed districts. Volun teers should enroll with the civil com missioners in their respective districts. They will be paid five shillings per day, With rations, forage, arms and horses." MISS RUTIi MANNA'S COMING OUT.
