The wheels were too small to run over her, but she given a terrible shaking up, being rolled in the small space between the bumpers and the ground for several yards. The woman was of large build and several "onlookers feared she would be crushed to death before the cars could be stopped. When the trip was brought to a standstill and the woman released she was in a bruised and weakened condition. Nearly every article of her clothing was torn from her, and, besides being bruised about the head and body, she had an ugly cut on one of her knees. She was removed to her home close to the workfa.

Oyster Bay, N. Y., Aug. 17.—Federal supervision of insurance was the subject of « conference at Sagamore II"'. so important that one of the participants, James M. Beck, formerly an assistant attorney general of the United States and now special counsel of the Mutual Life Insurance company of New York, missing the regular train from Long Island Ctty to Oyster Bay, chartered a special train from the Long Island Railroad company in order to meet his engagement with the president. The parties to the conference were the president, Senator Dryden of New Jersey, president of the Prudential Insurance company, ami Mr. Beck. Chicago, Aug. 17.—At the second session of the national reciprocity conference In the Illinois theater u concise statement of the availability and the desirability of the dual tariff as against reciprocity was made by Senator Shelby M. Culloni of Illinois, who spoke in part as follows: Washington, Aug. 17.—That "there has been a persistent decline of th« birth rate in the United Ntates since i860," Is the conclusion reached in a bulletin issued today by the census bureau. The bulletin was prepared by Prof. Walter F. Willcox, of Cornell university, and it is explained that "it is, primarily, a study In the proportion of children to the total population or to the number of women of child-bearing age." Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 17.—The prospects of peace are distinctly brighter. The plenipotentiaries are now laboring with a seriousness and earnestness which leave not the slightest doubt that both are anxious to conclude a treaty. Though the main points remuln to be tackled and the plenipotentiaries of each side outwardly speak as If unless the other gives way the conference will go to pieces, the spirit of compromise Is in the air. When he returned to the hotel M. Wltte, who was tired out with his hard duy's work, said: "I am doing all 1 can do for peace. Of the eight articles we have already considered I have yielded seven. No other statesman In Russia would have dared to do so much, aud I have done what I have done upon my own responsibility." Coal souvenirs. Armory Loan Ofllcc.

The decrease began from 1810 to 1820. Lehigh Valley Fireman Killed Yesterday. / I believe that the Dingley rates are sufficiently high to warrant our entering into reciprocal arrangements with Central and South American countries and with European nations as well. Frank Hoban Has Been Ab- sent Since Tuesday. ROCKY GLEN DISPUTE. I very much prefer the adoption of the principle of reciprocity as a means of retaining extending our foreign markets; as a means of quietly, without interruption of our business conditions, revising where necessary the tariff; as a means of preventing discrimination against our products such us Germany und other nations now propose to muke. Between 1850 and 1860 the proportion of children to women between 15 and 49 years, the child-bearing age, increased, but since 18(10 it has constantly decreased. If the computation is made upon the basis of 20-year periods the decrease has been regular, in 1860 the number of children under 5 years of age to 1,000 women, 15 to 49 years of age was 634; In 1900 it was only 4 74. iTie proportion of children to potential mothers in 1900 was only three-fourths as large as in 1880. At the conclusion of the conference Senator Dryden said: The Young Man is Subject to Kplleptlc Victim Was John C. Kircliiiiaii, of "Wo discussed the whole subject of federal supervision of the insurance business, niul our talk was very satisfactory. Personally I am heartily iu favor of such supervision by the national government, because it would insure to companies doing business iu several or In many states a well defined and well considered set of regulations and a definite policy.

To all except the latter, to which Russia wllf agree, a negative answer has been returned, absolute In the case of Indemnity and Sakhalin. Perhaps both the others may lie modified and yielded by M. Wltte in order to strengthen his insistence upon Japanese concession upon indemnity and Sakhalin. a Pushing Engine From One Other Method. Hanger of Dying. the Tracks, Catch- But if we cannot secure the ratification of reciprocity treaties there Is one other method that was seriously considered by the committee on foroign relations more than two years ago when It became apparent that the reciprocity treaties would not be ratified, and that is tho adoption of a maximum and minimum tariff. By that 1 mean the adoption of an arrangement, by act of congress, somewhat similar to that in force in France. Have a minimum tariff applicable to all nations whleh give our products the most favored nation treatment and a muxlmum tariff, say 25 per cent higher, to apply to nations which discriminate againNt our products.

Searching parties scoured the woods yesterday and today, but their search has been unavailing. ing Kh'chmuii. A fatal accident occurred yesterday afternoon about 4:30 on the Lehigh Valley cutolT, by which a railroad employe named John Kirchman was crushed to death beneath the ponderous weight of an engine. The fatality was the result of a wreck caused by the breaking of the air hose on a heavily laden train going up the cutoff. It occurred about a half mile west of Fairvlew. An .\|D|M'al Whs Flleil in tlio Ijicku- As to the probable cause of this decline an extended argument by General Francis A. Walker is given, suggesting that it is largely due to the inllux of foreigners. Prof. Wllicox notes, however, that there has been a similar marked decline of the birth rate of Australia, where there has been no such torrent of immigration. "I introduced In the senate at the last session a measure providing for supervisory control of Interstate Insurance by the bureau of corporations. 1 did so because I wanted to call out suggestions aud to sound public opinion on the subject. I had the bill referred to the judiciary committee In order that It might be patlscd upon In Its lncipien' cy by the most able lawyers In the senate.uuiiiiu Clerk of tlio Courts' Of- lice from the Summary Con- viction of Itocky CJlcn Employes by Bur- Hoban's parents have been on the verge of collapse since the day of his mysterious disappearance. His mother and brother returned from Lehigh last night after tramping through Lehigh all day, worn out from the futile journey. This morning they returned to that place to renew the search. gess Snyder The first step ii» the direction of testing the right ol the Moosic borough authorities to interfere with the operation of amusements at Itoeky Glen park on Sunday was taken this morning, when an appeal was filed in the office of the Lackawanna county clerk of the courts, in the case of ISurgess Snyder against James Connolly and other members of tho Bocky Glen force. The appeal is taken by the defense from the summary conviction before Burgess Snyder, when each of the defendants wan fined $4 on the charge of violating the Blue Laws byworking on Sunday. Ivirchman was fireman on pushing engine 591, which Is used on the cutoff. The engine was pushing a freight train east bound, and it had reached the point mentioned when the air hose broke anil the brakes on the cars were set thereby. The crew of the pusher did not know that anything unusual had happened, and the rear engine was not brought to a stop. The train buckled suddenly, the caboose leaving the track, the side of it crashing into the rear of the preceding car. Before the pushing engine could be stopped, It left the track and topjjed over. The engineer jumpftd to safety, but before the fireman could save himself the machine fell on him and crushed his life out. The adoption of this principle would not accomplish for our foreign trade all that reciprocity would accomplish. It 'would not open any Very extensive new markets for our products, but it would prevent discrimination. A maximum and minimum tariff is more In the way of retaliation, but something must be done, and if we cannot secure reciprocity I shall favor the enactment of a law by congress providing a maximum tariff to be applicable to every nation that discriminates against our products. Considered sectionally, it is found that in the north and west there has been a more or less regular decline, while in the south the change has been less regular and the decline less marked. In the general decrease between 1890 and 1900 not a single state in the North Atlantic division took The last seen of Hoban alive was when Conductor O'Hara, running through to Hoboken, saw the newsdealer hurrying along the Lackawanna tracks toward Lehigh. O'Hara's home Is on Emmett street, a few doors above the Hoban residence. Dryden to Reintroduce Bill "I expect to reintroduce the measure early In the next congress, perhaps In a slightly different form. The principle of the new measure, however, will be the same as that of the first bill. part In 1900 for the United States as a whole the proportion of children was only two-thirds as great in cities as in the country districts. In the North Atlantic division, however, it was almost as great in the cities as In the country. Fate of Railroad Settled. Knowing the mental condition of the young man O'Hara became alarmed for his safety so far away from home. He instantly arranged with the engineer on the "pusher" engine to pick up the wanderer at Lehigh and bring him back to this city. Hoban, however, did not continue his trip along the track and nothing further has been seen of him. Articles 7 and 8 were disposed of, the former "In principle," the latter "unanimously," according to the official bulletins. Article 7 provides for the cession to China of the branch of the Chinese Eastern railroad running south from Harbin to Port Arthur and Dalny and with a branch line connecting at Newchwang with the Shanghal- Kwan-Tlentsln road. Article 8 provides for the retention by Russia of the line through northern Manchuria which forms the connecting link of the main line of the Transslberlan and the Usurrl railroad, with Its termini at Vladivostok and Ilarborovsk. "My opinion Is that a very large majority of insurance companies will favor national supervision. Under existing agreements we are obliged to conform to different laws aud regulations In practically every state. The laws and regulations are being changed continually, and different insurance departments place different Interpretations on the same laws. What Insurance companies want Is a uniform, harmonious and continuing policy, aud that, we believe, Is to be bad only through national supervision." There are two remedies, reciprocity or a maximum and minimum tariff, and as It appears now the latter, If either, Is the method that will be adopted, The Burgess to return tho money in the case of Connolly, but did so in the prosecutions against the other parties. Connolly wants hifl money back and for that purpose has appealed the Judgment. Kasson Approves Dual Tariff. A letter from John A. Kasson, who negotiated the reciprocity treaties rejected l»y the United States senate, was read. Mr. Kasson wrote: A comparison Is made between the proportion of children born of native mothers to 1,000 native women .of child-bearing age, and the profiortjon of children of foreign-born mothers to 1,000 foreign-born women of childbearing age. In 1900 the former proportion was 462, the latter 710, the difference indicating the greater fecundity of foreign-born women. The wreck, while not very extensive, was extremely difficult to handle and It was several hours before the track was cleared. As soon as possible the body of Kirchmnn was removed from the wreckage and sent to Wllkesbarre, where he had resided. Kirchman lived on East Market street and Is survived by a widow and three children. Judge Newcomb has decided in a habeas corpus ease that the action of the burgess was Irregular and If the local courts again affirm this finding the case will go to Supreme Court on an appeal taken by the Burgess. In case of an opposite finding the defense will take It there. A habeas corpus ease cannot be appealed. The questions to be considered by the conference are of grave and growing importance to our agricultural Interests and to various branches of our manufactures. It Is no longer n question of protecting our home market. That has been most effectively, and even excessively, accomplished. It has led to monopolies. It Is Imperative now to protect our foreign markets. There are hundreds of millions of surplus productions which we do not need and cannot consume at home. If the foreign markets are not kept open for them, If any one Important market Is closed to them, It will react upon tho home market. Any extended closing of foreign markets would Inevitably result In the collapse of our national prosperity. Owing to the young man being subject to epileptic fits, there is a fear among his friends that while roaming the woods a fit will seize him and his death result before succor reach- es him. Mr. Bock also talked freely regarding the subject of the conference. As a lawyer lie expressed the belief that If the subject were brought before the supreme court its decision would be in favor Of federal control. The decrease in the proportion of children born to native white women was confined chiefly to cities. WRECK NEAR McADOO. There are persistent rumors alDout the hotel that several powers, including the Washington government, are bringing pressure to bear upon Japan to forego "the cost of the war" and content herself with such other compensation us she can secure out of the railroad, the Russian property In I'ort Arthur and Dalny and the cost of the maintenance of ltiissiuu prisoners In Japan, this only on the theory that Russia will eventually agree to cede Sakhalin, which is now potentially conquered territory. This is undoubtedly the line of ultimate compromise, if compromise there Is to be. Pennsylvania Passenger Engine. Hun- The proportion of negro children to negro women, 1ED to 49 years of age, was largest in 18X0 and smallest in 1900. There has been uniformly larger proportion of negro children than of white children. The wreck gavo the officials a great deal of trouble. An arrangement was made whereby trains were sent over the back track until the cutoff line was restored to traffic.

Engineer TTmpleby suffered a painful sprain of his ankle by alighting on a pile of stones. ANNUAL OUTING. Some modlilcatlon of the present law has become imperative. This has been acknowledged by congress Itself. Nobodydisputes the power of congress to regulate the question by a maximum and minimum tariff which the executive may apply to the products of foreign countries according to their treatment of our exports to their markets. A majority of congress can pass such a law. This may be the best practical solution of the question. FINANCIAL, AND COMMERCIAL llorsesliocrs of This Section Will SjM'ini Goldie Mohr Gets $500,000.
