A Bill Pissed BY the Senate Canceling Ex-
elusive Privileges.
WASHINGTON, July 20.-The Senate has
passed a very important bill with respect
to the use Of telegraph lines constructed
along the lines of railroads which have re-
ceived bonds or land subsidies from the
General Government. The bill, in short,
provides that existing contracts which
have been entered into between certain OF
these roads and the Western Union Com
pany, under which the Western Union is
given the exclusive control Of all telegraph
business on the.lines of these respective
roads, shall be at once Cancelled and that
these subsidized roads shall forthwith
maintain and operate the telegraph lines
which they own, on their own account, and
shall make rates which are just, equitable
and uniform to all competing companies
and shall make no discrimination between
competing telegraph companies which de-
sire to use telegraph lines on these roads
as means of connection between the At
lentic and Pacific coasts. This bill is the
outgrowth of an agitation which COM
menced in Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa.
It originated primarily in the effort of the
Baltimore & Ohio Company, when it existed,
TO secure a connection TO Colorado and the
West. The subsidized railroads in ques-
ton had entered into contracts with the
Western Union Company, which still ex-
ist, under the terms Of which the telegraph
lines along these roads were placed under
the sde control Of the Western Union
COMPANY.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 2O.-The explo-
sion of the steam pipe that supplied the
engine from the boilers caused the death
of seven men of the crew of the tugboat
Convoy at 1 40 O'Clock this morning. The

Jacks Run, Pa; George McCann, "a years
old, Pittsburgh; William Kelley, about
S5 yssrs old, residence unknown.
When the boat reached Westport, every
thing, according to the first mates story,
was running smoothly. He took a walk
back to the cabin and found all quiet. he
stopped and talked to his friend George
McCann, who was lying on a lower berth
near the door. The latter half rose in his
bed and remarked: "I1l soon be at home
with my family" Then he laid down and
went to sleep. The mate returned to the
pilot house and was conversing with Cap
tain Reno, the pilot.
Suddenly there was terrific explosion,
the whole boat became enveloped in steam
and the machinery stopped. The captain
called his men and the boat was towed
ashore and made fast. William Page was
found dead near the door of the after
cabin, where the explosion occurred. The
blood was rushing from his mouth and
ears and the flesh was scalded off his body.
William Harrigan wac found in his
berth. His death must have been in
Simultaneous, for he lay in the same
position as when he retired. Robert
Jones was on the floor. He was horribly
burned and lived but fifteen minutes.
He died with his wife's name on his
lips. William Bigley was still alive when
found, but died in ten minutes Charles
Luster was found outside of the cabin,
lying on his face. He was not dead and
told them that he had to run out there as
soon as he could recover from the shock of
the explosion. He was almost baked, his
skin was parched and little jets of blood
stood out from the pores of his body. In
two hours he wes dead. George McCann
lay dead in exactly the same position he
was in when the first mate left him but
half an hour before. Kelley was pulled
out from under his bunk and was alive,
but he was also terribly burned.
Charles Chambers, the other man who
slept in the cabin, was blown out of the
door and had a miraculous escape.
The officers of the boat can give no ex-
PLANTATION of the accident and claim the
machinery was inspected last February
and was then in excellent condition. An
inquest will be held this afternoon.
