DUE TO CARELESSNESS. Carelessness of trainmen caused the wreck. Instructed to meet a special stock train at Willard, the engineer and conductor of the ill-fated passeiiKer. noting that a freitcht train stood on the sidinK at Willard, rushed through, thinking that the cars they had seen were the ones which they had been instructed to pass. Failure to scrutiuxe the number of the engine was directly responsible for the accident. Had the eugineer compared the number of the train at Willard with his orders the acci dent would have been averted. Upon seeing at Willard a freight train on the siding Engineer Berjamin threw open the throttle, und, under one impetus of full steam, the passenger train leaped into the darkness and crashed along at a rate which the passengers declare to have been fully sixtv-five miles an hour. Not a note of warning of the fearful impending danger ever made itself known to the sufferers. General Superintendent Gruber, of the Rock Island, makes this statement to the Associated Pre: "The engineer of the pas senger train had orders to wait at Willard for the special stock train. He passed on. mistaking a freight train on the siding at that station for the stock train. This caused the wreck. Nobody else is to blame, so far as our information goes." The train was composed of a combination baggage and mail car. a regular baggage car. a smoker, a tourist sleeper and a standard sleeper. All were demolished, except the two last cars. The smoker telescoped the car back of it and killed and injured nearly all the occupants. HEROES OF THE WRECK. H. G. Parsons, a reporter of the Topeka State Journal, was on the wrecked train, and arrived in Topeka at 8 o'clock this morning, after driving overland from the scene of the collision. Parsons escaped with slight injuries, while two persons on the seat in front of him were killed. He says Flunk M. Bell, of New York, who was mistaken for a doctor, was the hero of the accident. Mr. Bell directed the surgical and medical work until the arrival of the relief train. He studied medicine for three years. Mr. Bell said: "I had no instruments with me. and we could do little, but the Misses Mann, of Smithville. Mo., with the Misses Roseborough, of Hauover, Kan., did wonders and saved many lives. When the collision came we were all, of course. In our berths. 1 was thrown from mine and immediately got into my clothes to see what was wrong. I saw that medical assistance was the first thing needed. The yoting women named offered their services, and they worked unhesttatingly with the Injured. 1 really didn't do much, but these other people did wonders. All the people in the sleepers were bundled out to make rosSs for the injured from the wreck. We did not have much in the way of medical appliances, but tore up aheets for bandages, stopped wounds as well as we could, and made the Injured as comfortable as possible. "With one exception the people in the SSSSpsn devoted themselves unselfishly to the care of the wounded. That exception was a man who would not give up hi? berth. I told some men to Jerk him out. They Jerked him out. and 1 have not seen him since. There was one young man who did heroic work with me. I should like to have known him. He seemed to be with woman aud a little girl, whom he got safety out. and thwn he went back and CUSBDS4 Into the wreck after more of the injured, helping to get out a lot of people who were fastened down." This man of whom Ir. Bell ?p-aks was Harvey B. Parsons, of the Topeka State Journal, who was bound for Oklahoma on a hunting trip. Mr. Bell is on his way to El Paso, where h is an extensive property owstr. LOGAXSrORT FANS WANT GOOD BASEBALL Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LOOANSl'OHT. Ind.. Jan. .

Polar Home Where Fredericks Suffered

Sufferings in Polar Lands Finally Bring Death to Frederick

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) edge that the enemy was but a few miles ahead it was all the officers could do to hold the men In check. In describing this battle of Muddy Creek. Sergeant Frederick, who had h role part in it. gave a graphic idea of the manner of the redskins when on the warpath. According to Sergeant Frederick's story, a treacherous attempt made on the life of General Miles by a 8ioux chief was 4fhe signal for battle In his description of this battle he said: "Furious at the treacherous action of the Indian, we fought like fiends. After the first shot of their chief the red men fled to the protection of the rocks and trees lining the ereek bank. We, on the other hand, stood their fire like soldiers. Time and time again during the fight our men charged through the water and to the rocks at the end of the rise, to no avail. With every moment the tight grew fiercer. Our men were suffering greatly, and the wounded and dead lay strewn over the ground at our feet. A series of rushes were resorted to. with considerable effect Gradually the line of the Indians' front began to waver. Each red man seemed to be thinking of his own safety, and not of the general result, for they began to scatter in every direction. Those of our men on their flank did terrible execution, while we in front, uncoutrollable and raging for a hand-to-hand encounter, sprang in pursuit of the Hying enemy. We did terrible execution and a great victory was wmi." , Sergeant Frederick later took part In other terrific encounters with the Indians, but fortune seemed to favor him. and he came out of the battles with whole skin. NORTH POLE EXPEDITION. In 1879 Frederick with a friend named Brainard. volunteered for the Howgate north pole expedition. In the spring of 1879 they received their papers to go to Washington and pass an examination. Howgate had procured the Gullnave, a very handsome vessel, but the naval board pronounced her unseaworthy. Unwilling to go against the report of the board, Brainard and Frederick refused to go on the expedition and returned to their station in Montana. In the spring of 18S1 Frederick and his companion again received orders to go to Washington and Join the Lady Franklin bay expedition, which was to sail under the command of Lieutenant Greeley. The Object of the expedition was to take scientific observations within the Arctic circle. On June 14. 1881. the party sailed to St. John's. Newfoundland. where a. Dundee whaling vessel, the Proteus, was chartered. A resume of the doings and experiences of the party from the time of departure is set forth in the following words by Sergeant Frederick: "In August of 1881. Lieutenant Greely's company was conveyed to Lady Franklin bay by the steam whaler Proteus, for the purpose of establishing Olle of the tWO metereologlcal stations to be fitted out and maintained by the United States government. Lady Franklin bay was the most northern point attainable with safety and accessible to support and relief. The terrible disaster which be Tell the Greely party was wholly due to the miscarriage of the promised relief. The unsuccessful attempt of the Neptune to reach Fort Conger or Lady Franklin buy In lfcSl and the return of that vessel to the United States, with all her supplies on board, made the situation of the explorers look grave. In 1883 the double failure of the Proteus and the Tentic, to leave provisions at Cape Sabine, the death camp of Greely's command, made matters even wors-. The destruction of the Proteus and the return of lieutenant Garllngton was generally regarded as a death blow to all hope of forwarding succor to Greely and the news, flashing across the continent, appalled many who foresaw the terrible position in which the isolated little band would find itself placed. SCHLEY TO THE RESCUE. "It was not until the following year that an expedition, consisting of the Thetis and the Bear, was fitted out and sailed from New York for Ludy Franklin bay. Great crowds thronged the quays and many were the prayers that ascended from the lips of the whole-hearted Americans for the men suffering in the far north. Wintield S. Schley, now rear admiral of the United States navy, was the commanding officer. "But all this time, what were the twentyfive men of the Greely party doing? How were they keeping alive without any pro visions? When we landed at Lady Frank lin bay, with all our provisions and scientific apparatus, we were in the best of spirits. Unlimited possibilities were spread out before us. Our hearts beat joyfully whenever we looked to the north. Success was in the very air we breathed and. In our visions, no obstacle was too great to overcome. For the first year, all went well. We made many valuable observations and much scientific research and completed our year's work about the time the provisions were to arrive from the States. But the ship never came. "The solitude of the northern light is Indescribable. One walks along a rocky shore and as far as the eye can reach, stretches I great ice flow, white and deathy like with the reflections of the aurora. It slowly undulates with the swell of the ocean and to the wandering mind seems to be beckoning on. to tho soft, black clouds on its farthest verge. Time and again have I stood entranced, trying to make up my mind to make a fearful leap and reach that haven I imagined to be in the dark beyond.

Hodgdon, aft having basal rescued from their wrecked vessel off Cape Cod, were pronounced by fisherrmn of this port to be among the worst evtrhtard at Oloueester. Captain Hodgdon, of the tishing schooner, when about ten miles off Capt Cod. yesterday forenoon sighted on a rolling hull what he took to be a Hlnnal of distress flapping from the top of the mast, and in spite of the tremendous s as and frightful cold. Captain Hodgdon chopped one of his dories out of the ice and with two of Ms crew went to the wreck ami found the five men on board practically frox-n to the d-ck and almost at the point of death.

"The dark days slowly passed. Over half of the company were sick and Commander Greely. realizing that extreme measures must be taken, called volunteers to go to liaird inlet in search of a carhe of provisions, supposed to be there. Sergeant Kice and myself were chosen. Lieutenant Greely said of this expedition: " I determined to send Sergeants Rice and Frederick after the English meat at Baird inlet, a course I had hesitated over, despite their tender of service and their declared certainty of success. They were fitted out as thoroughly as possible, and, contrary to their wishes, were given an extra allowance of food amounting in all to six ounces of pemmlean and six ounces of bread daily while in the field. They left on April fi. the day on which Sergeant Linn died. Frederick returned on the 13th, reporting Rice's death from exhaustion on the previous Wednesday in Baird inlet, some six miles from our camp. The remarkable energy iind the excellent judgment displayed by Frederick in his trying trip is modestly shown In his report. Frederick distinguished himself during this disastrous journey and brought in the entire load hauled out by the two, and, remarkable to say, did this work on the scant ration of six ounces of meat, not availing himrflf of the increase authorized by me in case of extraordinary circumstances. His very valuable services as one of the supporting party to the far north; as engineer at the critical point of our retreat; as cook during the terrible winter; as hunter and general worker in the most disastrous spring show the stamp of no ordipary m.-in," "What became of the party? After three years of such suffering as 1 have described six out of twenty-five were brought home. Nineteen brave men remain in that land of desolation." SERVICES RECOGNIZED. The six men alluded to by Sergeant Frederick were brought back to this country by the Schley relief expedition. Among the many thousands of expressions regarding the signal heroism of Sergeant Frederick was one by President Andrews, of Brown I'nlverslty. which describes how Frederick, after reporting to Commander Greely the death of his companion Rice, went buk alone to bury him. The bill recognizing Sergeant Frederick's services, which passed the United States Senate on Feb. 17, 1U02, was s follows: ' That the President be. and Is, hereby authorized to cause Julius R. Frederick. Henry Biederbick. Frank Long and Maurice Conuell. sur-ivors of the Iady rranKiin nay expedition, to d enlisted jis tirst-class sergeants of the Signal Corps of the army and to place them on the retired list of the army with the pay and allowances from and after the passage of this act of first-class sergeants of the Signal Corps who have been retired after continuous service of fifteen years." NAMING OF CHILDREN. Sergeant Frederick was married to Miss Laura Kellter, of St. Mary's O., on Juno 4, 1886. Two daughters were born to them. Th tis and Sabine. Thetis was born on the second anulversary of her father's rescue. She was named after the ship Thetis, that rescued the Greely survivors. Sabine was named after Cape Sabine, where ninet- i n men of the Greeley party lost their lives. After Sergeant Frederick's retirement as a first-class sergeant his next jump into prominence was the announcement that with a man named McDonald, of Chicago, who claimed to be the inventor of an airship, he would muke an attempt to reach the north pole through aerial navigation. This, of course, was never realized, although of all the men interested in the project Sergeant Frederick was the most confident of success. In the words of a motto he had made a precept throughout his life: "Nothing is impossible to him who does." Throughout his life in this city Sergeant Frederick was an object of considerable interest and was often called upon to address societies and submit to interviews. Every time a new explorer came to the front Frederick was called upon to talk of the subject and was always able, out of the fund of his great experience, to furnish something not only readable but important. Telegrams are being hourly received by the family from friends in different parts of the country expressing their greatest sympathy for the family in its bereavement. One telegram was received last night by W. T. Blythe, of the Weather Buteau in this city, from Willis L. Moore, chief of the Weather Bureau at Washington, and was sent to the Frederick home in Woodruff Place. The telegram reads as follows: Washington, Jan. fi. 1904. "W. T. Blythe.

JAPANESE STATEMENT OF EASJERN SITUATION Succinct Presentation of Status of the Negotiations from High Japanese Authority. BAD FAITH OF RUSSIA

TOKIO. Jan. 6. A high Japanese authority to-day made the following explanation of the status of the far Eastern question: "The statement that Russia has made concessions to Japan is not exact. On the contrary, Russia, in the month of October, made certain concessions which were acceepted by Japan, but subsequently wlthdr w them and assumed an attitude which left Japan little hope in the way of reaching a satisfactory agreement. "The Japanese government, confident in the d larations of disinterestedness in Manchuria made by Russia, and recognizing Russia's special interests in that region, wished to regulate, once for all, the questions in the far East, and In the interest of future jKace and tranquillity. To this end Japan made the following proposals: " 'Russia and Japan should mutually respect the independence and territorial integrity of China ami Korea. 'To recognize reciprocally Japan, the special interests of .Russia in Manchuria; Russia the special interests of Japan in Kor a. " 'To engage mutually not to infringe: Ja; an. th.- commercial rights and immunities acquired by Russia in Korea: Russia, the commercial rights and immunities acquired by Japan in Manchuria.' "in making the third proposition Japan wished not only to protect her own rights in China and those of Russia in Korea, but to consecrate by the principle of equality of treatment, the commercial rights of all nations in Korea and China. "Russia declined the Japanese propositions and submitted a counter proposition, which contained a clause providing for the creation of a neutral zone, extending from the China-Korean frontier to Wong-Tan on the east and to Ping-Yang on the west. The zone comprised almost a third of Korea. "This Russian pretension took from Japan all guarantee of the protection of her rights in Manchuria and sequestrated a considerable part of Korea, where, without contradiction, Japan's interests preponderate, and which every nation recognizes as being within the legitimate sphere of Japan. "The proposal exasperated Japanese public opinion. Japan could not accept the proposal for these reasons: " "The definitive occupation by Russia of Manchuria would be a permanent menace to the interests of Korea, which Japan must prevent at any price, for Korea is an advance post of Japan's line of defense, and the safety of Ku a is a condition sine qua non of her own security. " 'Japan has, as other powers, r'ghts and immunities in Manchuria, by virtue of treaties with China. These rights and immunities cannot be left to the mercy of Russia.' "The refusal of Russia to examine the Manchurian question denoted on her part the intention not to observe the rights of all nations In that region. Most evident among other proofs of this intention on the part of Russia were the occupation of Ang-Fung-Tcheng and the reoccupation of Mukden. Everyone knows that by the new treaties concluded by the ITnited States and Japan with 'liina one city and two ports were to lie opened to the commerce of the world. Anfr-Tuns-Tteherifir and Mukden were the two points chosen. By the occupation of these ports Russia prevented China fulfilling the obligationes of her treaties. "In Korea, equally, acts of Russia have hail, as a result, the closing of the Yalu river to foreign commerce. Japan asked Korea, simultaneously with the United States and Great Ilritain. to open this region to International commerce. In occupying Yong-Wang-Pou (Yon-Gam-Pho), the only port in Korea, Russia paralyzed the realization of this project. Japan then had reason to fear that letting Russia nlone would result in closing the Yellow sea and the Interior of Manchuria to International commerce. "In struggling with all her force against the pretensions of Russia in the far East, Japan works not only for herself, but for all nations. Jutim does not ignore the dangers and risks or an armed conllict with Russia, and does not embark upon it with a light heart or as a fantarade. It will be less a struggle between races than a plan for the preservation of International commerce." NOTRE DAME'S BALL NINE Expects to Have Best Team on Diamond Next Season. CHICAGO. Jan. 5.-Manager Daly, of the track and baseball teams of Notre Dame University, has left for college, having spent the holiday season in Chicago. In speaking on the prospects of his teams for the coming season Mr. Daly said: "We expect to have a good track team and as good a baseball team aa any in the country. "The baseball team will be exceptionally strong, and we will not hesitate in taking on college teams, for we fear no one. Last year's nine will practically remain the same, but this year rour of the nine will graduate. I hope to arrange games with Michigan, Chicago and Wisconsin." In speaking of the track team at Notre Dam. Manager Daly was far from being enthusiastic. He said the propepects for a good team were far from encouraging, but Draper, the best all-round man the univer sity has, may be the nucleus for a good team. Draper will be sent to the Olympian W estern college championships at St. Louis next summer, and later to the Olympian games. Candidates for the track team will be called out Jan. 15. The proposed dual meeting between Indiana and Notre Dame will take place about March 4. and the floor of the gymnasium is now being relald, previous to indoor training.
