WHOLE FAMILIES [BURIED The Scene of the Disaster is Forty- Fivc Miles Southwest of Quebec City, \thre Similar Landslides Recently Occurred. ,Quebec, Nov. 18.—Meagre reports have reached here from St. Edouard,” in Lotbiniere County, some fifty miles southwest of here, that a landslide has occurred. At least forty persons are said to: have lost their lives. The slide occurred on the banks of the Duchesne River, whose formation is like that of the Ste. Anne, on the north shore of the St. Lawrence, where similar land- slides have occurred. It“ is difficult to obtain particulars of the disaster. The only man who had some from the scene of the disaster is in such a. state of excitement that scarcely anything intelligible could be got out of him. As far as could be learned the follow- ing families. were buried in the land— slide. Homisdas Labadie, father mother, wife and one child; Alphonse Esdras Lecl’aire, father, mother, wife and one child; Castonguay mother, wife and one child; Castonguay family, composed of eight or nine per- 'sons; family of Peter Wright, consist- ing of three persons, and family of Lozet. These are all whose names are defl- nitely known, but it is known that very many others perished The landslide covered an area of some twenty acres. The victims lived in comparative isola- tion, there being no other inhbaitants for some distance around. The few who did not perish are working to re- cover the bodies of those'who did. St. Edouard is a small village in the centre of Lotbiniere County, with a population of about five hundred souls. It is surrounded, by a very thickly wooded country, in which extensive lumbering operations are carried on. Secretary of War Alger and ex-Senator Warner Miller, are interested in large timber limits on the St. Maurice River, not far distant. The Duchesne River, or, to give it its more imposing local title, La Grande Du Chene, is a small stream which rises in Lotbiniere County and empties into the St. Lawrence. Like all streams in this vicinity it is very low during the Summertime, but in the Spring and Fall it becomes a swollen torrent. Dur— ing the past fortnight heavy rain- storms, followed by snow,, have fallen in this section of the province of Que- bec, and more than one of the villages on the river banks, composed as they are of groups of one-story log or frame huts built right up to the water’s edge, have been threatened. Lotbiniere, the village of any size nearest to St. Edouard, is the home of Sir Henry Polli de Lotbiniere, Control- ler of Inland Revenue in the cabinet of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who is the Seig- neur of the district, and has always manifested the greatest interest in the welfare of the inhabitants of the coun— try. The only other place of any size near by is Deschamb‘ault, a. tOWn on the other side of the St. Lawrence River. This is the second awful fatality which has occurred in this vicinity, the other disaster having taken place two years ago at. Craig’s road station, a few miles distant, where an excursion train of pilgrims to the shrine of St. Anne de Beaupre, was telescoped by a Grand Trunk express, and many lives were lost. HARVARD vs. PENNSYLVANIA. Preparations for the Big: Game at Philadelphia on . Saturday. Philadelphia, Nov: 18.—As the day for the big game with Harvard draws near there are greater evidences at hand that this meeting will be attended by the largest football crowd that has ever turned out in the city by Philadel- phia to witness a game. Whether this is the effect of the tie game which Harvard played with Yale, giving a. chance to the Pennsylvanians, as it were, of indirectly matching their team against the Blue, or merely the natural growth of football in the popular idea is .a question. It is likely that it is the latter to a great degree, for never in the history of the game has such consistent growth marked the attendance of one year over the other. The football crowds in Phil- adelphia this year have exceeded those of last year by an average of easily fifteen hundred to a game. Whatever the cause, the attendance of enthusi- asts on Franklin Field next Saturday 'will be larger than it has ever been. The advance sale of seats has shown a wonderful demand, and aside from a very small number, there is not a seat to be had. Twenty—four thousand is the approximate seating capacity of the field, and if the plans now being con- sidered to increase that capacity by the arrangement of some standing accom- modations are carried out, this number will be increased to 28,000. The field in West Philadelphia has been completely surrounded by tiers of seats as perfectly arranged as the lat.- est ideas of modern football accommo- dations dictate, and unless signs fail it will also be surrounded by an eager thrOng, which will witness one of the best and most interesting games ever played by the two great universities. Florida Abolishes Its Quarantincs. New Orleans, Nov. 18.—Florida yes- terday abolished all quarantines. The only State which still keeps up a quar- antine is Mississippi. The Southern Pa- cific has not yet been able to resume its passenger business beyond Lafay- ette on account of the obstinacy of Lake Charles, La., which still holds out for quarantine. Another frightened town is Jackson, Miss, which still re- fuses to allow passenger trains to stop within the city limits. Grover Cleveland’s Thanks.

Bed Eagle in War-Paint and Fu‘ulilel'x Now Beats a'l‘om Tom in' tho- Army. Lo, the poor Indian, from being an imposing and historic figure in his“ tory and the novels of Cooper, has be» come a hallelujah man and joined the Salvation Army. The red man in question is Red Eagle. He is a real Indian and a genuine red man from the Iroquois tribe. Red Eagle preaches now, sings now, exhorts now, and. in the langu- ageof the Salvation Army, “plays tl-;- tom—tom to save souls.” Red Eagle was converted to membe. — ship in the Salvation Army during Lila progress of the midwin‘ter revivals in ' California in 1896. Since that time iii- has travelled the country over, pre ch- ing under the auspices of the Salvation Army Corps. He speaks good English, has a voice that is not as bad'as it might be, and his playing of the tom- tom lends a flavor to the meeting that is unsurpassed. Red Eagle appears at every meeting in full Indian war paint. He tells of his experiences in the dif- ferent tribes of North America, and his talk is always interesting and proves very entertaining. _, I Red Eagle was a guest of Sitting Bull at the time when the old. chief met his death. He says he witnessed the shooting of the Sioux chieftain and assisted at his burial.—-—New Yerk Journal. : , .

SEAL CONFERENCE ’ FUTILB Propose. to Send a Commission from Canada. to Carry on the Negotia- tions—A Practical Victory for the United States. Washington, Nov. 18.—Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his conferree, Sir Lou‘is Davis, left for Canada yesterday. The result of their mission has in the main been a failure, but, according to Sir Wilfrid it has been satisfactory, be- cause a start has been made toward an agreement between this country and Canada on other questions than the Behring Sea. A commission will be sent from Canada to Washington to carry on the negotiations in regard to the Barring Sea, reciprocity, immigration, the boundary and labor questions. The failure of the diplomatic confer- ence just closed was because the Cana- dians considered the seal question the least important of any before the com- mission, and came here to settle all the questions at .the same time. While they were willing to do something for the seals, they asked the American commissioners to pledge themselves in advance to agree on reciprocity and immigration. Could Not Agree, The Americans told the Canadians frankly that they could make no such pledge, because a reciprocity treaty would have to be considered by the Senate. Upon this answer Sir ,Wilfrid Laurier acknowledged his inability to agree on the American proposition to stop the pelagic sealing for one year. After the conference last night it was decided to waste no further time. Before he left Sir \Vilfrid expressed ‘ himself satisfied as to the progress made, and ventured the ,hope that when the proposed joint commission met it would be able to carry the ne- gotiation further than he had done. Killing Off the Herd. The reports signed by the seal ex- perts are, however, a victory for the United States. It is a concession by Great Britain and Canada that pelagic scaling is destroying the seal herd. The Canadians have always contended that it did no harm to let the seal catching go on as now pursued. But the United States has contended that the pelagic sealing has been in- ! jurious, and that something must be . . done to sto it. but they certainly do not wear the' p The Canadians, in their negotiations for reciprocity and other things, have held that the ques- tion of seals could wait until other matters were settled. To prove their arguments fallacious their experts have signed a report that the preSent system is harmful. This has literally destroyed the only argument of the Canadians. Therefore the refusal of Sir Wilfrid to agree to the proposition of the Ameri- cans to stop pelagic scaling for a year only emphasizes the failure of the dip- lomatic end of this conference. As the Canadians will send a com- mission here to again open the ques- tion, the matter will be brought before Congress early in the session. Canada's Dclnand. ‘Washington, Nov. 18.—-Gen. Foster has made public the following official statement: “The representatives of both the United States and Canada who partici- pated in the seal conference yesterday at the residence of Mr. Foster deny that they have stated to any corre- spondent of the press or other person that the negotiations have been broken off or that an ultimatum has been pre- sented and rejected. On the other hand, they state that the negotiations are still in progress. POSTMASTERS APPOINTED. Batch for Pennsylvania Named Yesterday.
